In the family the Law of pleasing ought
to extend from the highest to the lowest.
You are bound to please your children, and
your children to please your servants.
Some men are pleasant in the household,
and nowhere else. I have known such
men. They were good fathers and kind
husbands. If you had seen them in their
own house you would have thought they
were angels almost; but if you had seen
thm in the street, or in the store, or any
where else outside the house, you would
have thou yht them almost demoniac. But
the opposite is apt to be the case. When
we are among our neighbOrs, or among
strangers, we hold ourselves VITA self-res-
pect and eudeavor to act with propriety /;
but when we get home we say to ourselves;

now going to be natural" So we sit down
and are ugly. and snappish, and blount,
and disagreable We lay aside those thou
sand little courtesies that might make the
toughest floor smooth, that make life pleas

ces where it would be profitable, in places
where it will bring silver and gold.

most extensively availed themselves of
this aid. There is philosophy in this, as
well as practical good sense. The consul

Of the newspaper for this information. It
saves him a world of trouble, for without
this resource, he would be compelled to a

outlay, the merchant can reach thousands

With customary revolutionary reck-
lessness and disregard of forms, usage
and substance, when necessary for party
purposes, the Supreme Court of Ohio,
upon mere application for leave to file
petition in error in a made up case,
have decided the recent "Visible Admix-
ture Act" of the Legislature, unconstitu-
tional. The partisan course pursued by
the Supreme Court shows the fix
ed purpose of the Republican lead
ers to force negro suffrage, as far as
possible, on the people of Ohio,
in spite of their wishes and votes, and
of the fifty thousand majority against
it last fall. We accept the issue and
will fight it out on that line all summer
and fall. The irregular action of the
Court deserves the severest censure; but
we forbear in consideration that the
ablest, wisest and most prudent and
most brilliant Legislature which ever
assembled in the State, did not provide
that the act should not take effect till
the first Monday of October, or that pc
titions in error in cases under the act,
should be filed as of course, and the
cases heard only in their regular order.

Mr.. -- is the scalawag Senator

posed of the counties of . He is
a full blown Radical, and loves a negro
as much as he hates "rebel." He goes
in, of course, not only for political but
social equality, and repudiates not only
at the ballot-box, but in his household
all distinctions founded upon race or
color.


Acting upon this theory, he has
brought one of his constituents to great
grief. Said constituent called to see
him not long ago, and, dinner being an
nounced as ready before he left, he was
invited to take seat at the Senator's
hospitable board. He accepted the invi-
tation, and, walking in, pumped himself
on chair by the side of a daughter of
his host. 1t was the rashest act of his
life. The next thing he knew he was
lying on the floor, where he had been
knocked by chair in the indignant
woman's hands. Her mother reinforced
her, and such mauling as that darky
got makes the bones ache to write about.

CROWN The Usher OF FasnloAaDle


Church In New York.


New York Correspondence Of the Troy Times


He has been sexton of Grace Church
and major domo of fashionable parties
for twenty years. With such chance he
should be worth $500 900, and no doubt
he is worth more. We believe that he can
match some of his own congregation in
poipt of cash, and many of the worship
ers at Grace envy his wel!-lined pocket
book. Brown has list of fashionable
Young men in the city, and when he makes
up the guests for a party, he can put his
friends in by little adroit management.
Hence, il is an important thing for all this
class to be on good terms with this mas
ter of fashion, and not mind a small fee
now and then. Brown is nearly sixty
wears old, but he bears age well. His
fat face and rotund body walk well with
Father Time, and find him gentle mas
ter. He will never resign, because his
profession is congenial to his nature in
the highest degree. he is of the spaniel
order when waiting on his superiors,
while to his interiors in wealth he is
quite a different character. During the
twenty years of his sextonship, he has
attended aud managed at least one thou
sand parties, besides many secondary
affairs. He has heard as much nonsense
and insipid conversation as any man on
this continent, and knows the full value
of polite life and conventional hattery.
he holds petty sovereignty over hack
men, cooks, aud ell the varied servants of
luxury who acknowledge him as their
patron, and psy the tribute due to his
position. When the party breaks up,
Brown takes his place in the porch
and calls the carriages for the guests
in a voice which Stenter himself might
have envied. AS the sound is
widely borse on the midnight air, the
whole neighborhood is informed Of the
attendnce at Mrs. Diddle's reception,
and is made to kDow that Mr.. JiGeins,
the millionaire, and his wife, and also the
Priegers. whose diamonds ere creating q

which they live. 10 foe, Brown is chief
snob amid a world Of snoks, and sees
more fools than any mas et the ase-
Usdss tkssc circumstauces he essaoi be
spared from the circles which play the
snob even under the very SHADOW Of the
pulpit We may, therefore, congraiulate
