Your Duty.


1t is the duty of every citizen to vote
ministers, religious men and all. That it
may be disagreeable is true, that you may
meet persons and see and hear things re
pulsive is likely; but the duty remains the
same.


If you have settled convictions of right
if you believe the right should triumph,
you should act to secure that triumph; and
if you fail to do SO, you indirectly aid the
wrong. In the present national crisis.
when everything depends upon the result
Of an election, and that election may turn
on single vote, should the patriot shrink
from the performance Of his duty because
1t is disagrceable? When the engines Of
destruction are loosened; when our lovely
homes and fertile fields are deserted for the
loud-mouthed cannon and the tented field;
when thousands are being cut down and

winds low sigh carries with the widows
wall and the orphans tear and squald
wretchcdness and want stand threatening
at the door Of honest industry for the fu

threatened with blight and tn. fairest gov.

The Union State Convention held at
Madison last week, was one of the largest
and most harmonious political gatherings
ever held IN this state Nearly every As
sembly District in the state was represent
cd, and many who had formerly been
strongly opposed in political matters, were
there united in sent:ml 1t and IN action
All were united in determination to up
hold the government and to aid the admin
istration in every effort to crush the re
bsIlion that is costing so many precious
lives and so much treasure.


The delegates chosen to the National
Convention, are all gentlemen Of Judgment
and ability, to whom the people of the
state may safely entrust the important
business of selecting a candidate for the
highest Office IN the gift of the people

While we have been pleased to observe
the preponderance of sentiment in San Fran
cisco in favor of metallic currency, we by
no means approve the mobocratic mon
opinion. We refer to the outrage commit
ted upon Mr.. Cheeseman, U. S. Sub Treas
urer, at the close Of the meeting held in thai:
city ON Thursday night of last week, to re-
monstrate against the repeal Of the special
contract act Toward the close of the meet
ing Mr.. Cbeeseman attempted to speak
against the resolutions offered, when he was
checked by the officers of the meeting, and
by hootngs and cat.cals from the audience

etc, and who jostled him so fiereely that he
was obliged to seek refuge in the "Occdent>

doors.


There is no doubt that the meeting was
called exclusively by those opposed to the re-
peal of the law 1t was their meeting, and OF
course they had right to exclude opposition
speakers. We think Mr.. Cheeseman com
mitted an error in Attempting to speak AT
the same time it was not such an error as
called for disrespectful and violent language
toward him. A firm and dignifed refusal
to hear him would have been sufficient But
the bounding he had to submit to, after the
adjournment, was brutal and contemplate
outrage, and disgrace to the city of San
Francisco. 1t partook Of spirit, far toe
prevalent at the present time, to put men
down 10y violence, for the mere holding OF
expressing of opinions at variance with those
Of the majority of a community. 1t is sad
commentary upon the tendency Of the times
to override laws and justice, and substitute
passion and prejudice AS the rule for tn,
government of States and nations.


We enter an earnest protest against al
such proceedings. They are dangerous tc

Be true to your lover. don't mean
stick to him. but don't deceive him. Let
him know what sort of a person you really
are. Tell each other your faults, make
known your real opinions. Despise and
abjure the humbuging which is almost
universal among lovers. Girls keep out
of sight all their failings, and do their
best to cause their beaux to think them
angels, and men bow like slaves to every
whim of their lady loves. and seem to like
to make them happy. Now this is not as
it should lie, it will not be SO after mar
riage. The woman will grow weary of al
ways acting her prettiest, and the man
will not always endure all sorts of incon-
Veniences, and submit to all sacrifices to
please the woman who is securely his
own.


1t is the dearest pleasure of every true
woman to obey and make happy the man
she loves, if he is kind and reasonable,
but how much better it would be to teach
the sweetheart the truth instead of 9 false
hood as to her future. position. won't
say anything more to the girls, for as they
have to wait to be wooed and won, and as
they have fewer chances than men have,
there is more excuse for them to put the
best side out, only let them strive to keep
out, and We have no further controversy
with them. But men have no excuse for
holding out such pretences as they do
They are cruel and unwise. Cruel, ba-
cause the pain which the woman will feel
when all his subserviency and Difference
to her is withheld, will be in proportion
to the pleasure with which it is received !;
unwise, because it may be such shock to
her as to cause her resolutely to rebel, or
silently to cease to love. In either case
the husband will be solely punished for
SO long ignoring their just relations to
each other.-Lady Contributor.
