The motives assigned by Governor Seymour
for his refusal, in his second published letter,
are SO odd and fantastical that they seem
mere pretexts. When man of sense and
abilities gives foolish reason for decision

thing concealed behind IL. Mr.. Seymour
says:-'I have made up my mind that if
man who has reached the age of sixty is not
as influential out Of Office as he can be in an
official position he has failed to make good

whether intended to contrast the writer with
Mr.. Tilden or not it is one OF the vainest

add nothing to it, and that every mans

is a common impression that the food for the

essential Of life. In the milk diet that recon-

How quickly nature falls into revolt,
When gold becomes her object


Have broke their sleep with thoughts, their brains
Their bones me witt With industry;


For this they have engrossed and pild up
The cankered heaps of strange-achleved gold;
For this they have been thoughtful to invest
Their sons with arts, and martial exercises
Whom, like the bee, tolling from every flower,
Our thighs packed with wax, mouths with honey,
We bring it to the hive {; and, like the bees,
Are murdered for our pains"


And so human industry has ever paid
the price Of it's toll, the world Of wealth
living off the garnered fruits ofits labor.
Why this is so we do not propose to ar
que now, but he who reads and thinks,
knows full well where labor was made a
course" and from thence can draw his
own conclusions whatever education or
prejudice may have done to give the
right of control to wealth over the back
bought privileges Of toll is soon to be
overturned and a new forder of things
wrought out of the fruits of Israel. It
is the signs Of the times, and he who

under-current as it encircles the masses
of the toiling millions who have so long

payment Of interest due the Government on

GREASE SPoTs.--In the removal of grease
from clothing with benzol and turpentine
people most generally make the mistake of
wetting the cloth with the turpentine and then
rubbing it with sponge or cloth. In this way
the fat gets dissolved, but spreads over a
greater space, and is not removed; the benzol
or tuIpentine evaporates and the fat covers
now greater surface than before. The only
way to radically remove grease spots is to place
soft blotting paper beneath and on top Of the
grease spot. which spot has first been thor
oughly saturated with the benzol, and then to
press it we'll. The fat gets now dissolved and
absorbed by the paper; and entirely removed
