SUDDEN CHANGE OF TIE WEATHER
With a good appetite, vigorous digestion
and sound liver, it is possible to brave con-
stant exposure and to encounter the present
climatic changes. But the strongest bodily
health and most vigorous constitution will
soon decline under such depressing influences
unless fortified against the ertra pressure. How
then can the appetite be preserved, the diges-
tive organs kept in good condition, and the
regularity of the bowels maintained? The
secret is, use the Red Jacket Stomach Bitters

The comfort and happiness of home and home
intercourse, let me here say, depend very much
on the kindly and affectiOnate training of the
voice. Trouble, care and yexation, will and
must, of course, come; but let them not creep in
to our voices. Let only your kindlier and hap
pier feelings be vocal in your homes. Let them
be so if for no other reason than for the little
childreu's sake. These sensitive little beings
are exceedingly susceptible to the tones. Let
us have consideration for them They hear so
much that we have forgotten to hear. For as
we advance in years our life becomes more an
terror. We abstract from outward scenes and
sounds. We think, we reflect, we begin grad
ually to deal with the past, as we have formerly
vividly lived in the present. Our ears grow
deaf to external sound; it is turned inward, and
listens chiefly to the echoes of past voices. We
catch no more ofth merry laugh of children
We her no more the note of the morning Bird
The brook that used to prattle so gayly TO US,
rushes by unheeded, we have forgotten to
hear such things. But little children, remember,
sensitiyely hear them ALL Mark how, at every
sound, the young child starts, and turns, and
listensl And thus, with equal sensitiveness,
does it catch the tones of human voices. How
were it possible that the sharp and hasty word,
the fretful and complaining tone, should not star
tie and pain, even depress the sensitive little
being whose harp of life is SO newly and delic-
ately strung, vibrating even to the gentle breeze
and thrilling sensitively ever TO the tones of
such voices as sweep across it? Let us be kind
and cheerful spoken, then, in our homes.-0Hce

An amusing matrimonial story is told of the
olden time in New England ItsO fell out that
young couple became very much smitten
with each other-as young people do. The
young wOman's father was D wealthy Quaker;
the young man was respectable. The father
could stand no such union and resolutely OPP
posed it, and the daughter dare not disObey-
that is to say, she dare not disobey openly. She
'met him by moonlight while she pretended
never to see him; and she pined and wasted in
spite of herself. She was really in love-a state
of sighs and tears which women OfteDer reach in
imagination than reality. Still the father re-
NAMED inexOrable.


Time passed on and the rose ON Mary s dam-
ask cheek passed off She let concealment
like a worm III the bud prey on that damask
cheek, however, but, when her father asked her
why she pined she always told him. The old
man was a widOwer, and loved his daughter
dearly. Had it been a widowed mother who
had Mary in charge, a wOmans pride would
never have given away before the opportunities
of daughter. Men are not, however stubborn
in such matters, and when the father saw that
his daughters heart really set upon the
match he surprised her one day by breathing
out:


"Mary, rather than NOPE to DEATH thee had
better marry, as soon as thee chooses and whom
thee pleases." fE 500 -n


And then what did Mary? Wait till the birds
in the air told her swain of the change, or until
her father had time to alter his mind again?-
Not bitOfit Sheclapped her neat plain bon
net on her head, walked directly to the house of
her intended as the street could carry her. She
walked into the house without knOcking-for
knocking was not then fashionable-and she
found the family Just sitting down to dinner
Some little commotion was exhibited at the

it not. John looked up inquiringly. She
walked directly up to him, and took both his
hands in hers.

table, and went to the parsons. In Just twenty
five minutes they were man aud wife.

Occasional" of the Philadelphia Press, ap-
proving the nomination of Major General Cox
for Governor of Ohio, because he is brilliant
civilian and most gallant soldier" expresses
the following sentiment concerning the nomin
alton of soldiers for civil offices:


Whenever Union Convention assemblies,
and brave soldier-especially if he has been
fighting for the old flag-is named as a eandi-
date, and he is qualified by intelligence and
good department, he should be preferred to all
others, and wherever vacancy occurs in pub
lie office, or wherever new appointment is to
be made, if fit soldiers can be obtained, they
should be honored with a confidence which is,
at the same time, substantial recognition of
their bravery"


The Union party of Ohio at its recent State
Convention, carried out that principle; by Sc
lccting four of its nominees from the army and
these the most important ones. And we are
glad to see that in those counties where the I'm
ion party has held its nominating conventions,
the same principle has been recognized. They
can be no stronger claim for any office, than the
claim of the man who has risked his life and
suffered all manner of hardships, for the preser-
vation of free government. In a choice between
civilian and soldier for any office if the SOL
dier is qualified for the position, he should al
ways have the preference, and between two sol
diers candidates for the same position, we would
give the preference to the one who has done the
greatest amount of service and suffered the
most for the cOuntry's cause

Written In an hour of Dark Dependency.
One by one my hopes have perished,
One by one my joys have fled,
And the friends that most cherished,
Now are numbered with the dead
All my days are sad and dreary,


All my nights are spent in grief
Naught can cheer my life so weary.


Naught can bring my heart relief
Much loved friends with whom I've parted,
NevermOTe their forms to greet,
They have left me broken hearted I-
We no more on earth shall meet
Ne'er again on this side Heaven


Shall this aching heart find rest
Till my sins are all forgiven,


And I'm numbered with the blest.
But when have passed deaths portal
And have reached that blessed shore.

The following lines, from the Ns,o Jerusalem
Messenger, comprise an appropriate and beau
tiful answer to the above:


Take no Thought for the Morrow.
One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going,


Do not try to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,


Let thy whole strength go to each;
Let no future dreams elate thee,


Learn thou first what these can teach
One by one, bright gifts from heaven,
Joys are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,


Ready, too, to let them go.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee.
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade as others greet thee,


Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life $ long sorrow,


See how small each moment PAIN;
God will help thee for tomorrow,


So each day begin again.
Every hour that fleets SO slowly


Has its task to do or bear;
Luminous the crown and holy,


If thou set each gem with care
Do not linger with regretting,


Or for passing hours despond,
For the daily toll forgetting,


Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, Gods token.
Reaching heaven; but one by one
Take them, let the chain be broken

Judge Lang, of Seneca, the Democratic
nominee for Lieutenant Governor, and
Charles Boesel, Of Auglaize, the candidate
for member of the Board of Public Works,
are both Germans by birth. They were
but mere lads when they left the tatherland
to carve out their fortunes in the New
World. They made each others acquaint-
ance on board the sailing vessel they had
embarked upon for this country, and during
the voyage they became warmly attached
to each other. Arrivingat Baltimore, these
honest Dutch boys shouldered their packs,
and, afoot, crossed the Alieghanies with
their faces toward the West. At Pittsburgh
they parted, and for number of years lost
sight of each other, and did not meet again,
until they met each other as members of the
General Assembly of Ohio, Judge Lang as
SENATOR Boesel as a member of the House.
On the same day, these honest German boys,
one now a lawyer of established reputation,
and fine ability, the other, a successful mer-
chant, are honOred with nominations on the
Democratic State Ticket for prominent and
responsible offices in the great Common
wealth which they have seen form and pros
per with amazing rapidity, since triendless
and poor their weary feet first pressed its
hospitable soil. Two honester or better
men do not live in the Slate, and the Ger
man Democracy of Ohio, ever faithful and
never untrue, will be especially gratiiied
with the compliment paid them in the
prominence given TO those who so well rep
resent the thrifty element which has trans
formed the great Northwest section of our
State from vast forest into scene of busy


toll and honest contentment.-PldinD Dealer

The Democracy of the great States OF
Pennsylvania and Ohio have just held their
State Conventions for the nomination OF
candidates to be supported in their October
elections. We have received, as yet, only
a telegraphic synopsis of the resolutions
adopted by either; but as far as we are able
to Judge, they do not differ much in sub
, stance from those adopted by the Democracy
of Maine, although they are distinguished
Especially those of Pennsylvania) by the
holder emphasis of their declarations in fa-
, vor of personal rights and the guarantees
of the Constitution.


We are glad to see that, on these essential
points, the trumpet of the Democracy gives
no uncertain sound-that there is nothing
timid, halting, or indecisive in their demand
that the Constitution and the laws, and not
the uncontrolled and irresponsible will OF
temporary Office-holders, shall be the rule
of our Government. 1t is of so much deep
erconsequence that we be governed by law
than that any particular law should be en-
acted or repealed, that this demand deserves
to stand in the foreground ofevery declara-
tion of Democratic principles; and until the
battle on this great issue is decisiyely won,
all other political questions, however
weighty, should be ranked as secondary.
Whatever political action tends to restore
most speedily the supremacy of law, must
be adopted; and whatever tends to retard
or obstruct this restoration, must be waived
or postponed, until the greater victory is
won.


The Endorsement, by all the Democratic
Conventions thus far held, of the leading
features of President Johns0ns plan of re-
construction, is doubtless wise, inasmuch as
his fundamental positions on this subject
are sound and Democratic. But in a Re-
publican Government our trust must be
rather in the people than the President.
We have no such confidence in Mr.. john
son--and ought not to have in any Presi-
dent-as to countenance him in the exercise
of powers not granted in the Constitution,
or even to consent to his exercise of the
proper functions of his place without the
restraints imposed by fear of the people.


Constitutions are nothing, laws are moth
Ing, unsupported by an efficient machinery
for their enforcement. For enforcing them
upon rulers nothing will prove effectual but
the control exerted through free elections
We want President johnson to abandon
and eschew military trials; but we want
still more, guarantee that neither he nor
any other President will resume them. We
refuse to depend on his pledges, even if he
were ready to make pledges; we refuse to
depend on the Constitution, for we know
how easy it is to misinterpret or disregard
it.-Neto York World.
