Every woman will tell you that man can
be led easier by putting al arm around his
neck than by pulling his hair, but we never
knew till recently that the reason yoa can't
lead COW behind a wagon is because she OBJ
jects to having her horns pulled. The other
day red-shirted emigrant passed through
here OF his way to Carroll county. His fam
lily and household possessions were in COW
cred wagon, to the hind end of which was
fastened COW. Behiod her, with sharp
stick, walked the emigrant, giving her a smart
welt occasionally when she hung back. Every
now and then she would brace herself and
stop the team, and then in upclerscal language
he would beseech her to go on, marking each
forcible period with prod of the sharp stick
The poor cow rolled her eyes and rolled her
tongue. The poor emigrant, too. was dusty
and tired, but his voice and stick didn't tail
him. She had suddenly halted the process
ion in front of the post-office, and was shak
ing her head in reply to his earnest cntreaties,
when man called out to Red Shirt that he

The rope was changed to her neck, aud the
team started. The COW gave look of sur.

Human life my friends is not one
chance hut 81 thousand The special
end You toiIcd for may not he attained.
'Nhc steps you took toward that end will
prove of far greater consequence. You
are y business man, perhaps, and your
ventures have mscnrried one after the
other, and now You look sadly back
through a long vista of disappOintments
and defeat But meanwhile you are
known to be good man and true-a
kind husband and father, loyal citizen
and faithful land many man
who has passed you in the race for
wealth and fame may look with envy
upon the love and respect you have
gained by your personal character and
services, Your want of success iii bu-
sinesa life may be due to some peculiar
lack in yourself, or may result from
something adverse in your surround
ings, but remember that, while your
undertakings may fail over and over
again, you yourself may be n glorious
success. And here we touch upon the
true solution Of the whole difficulty.
We are miserable and sad over our fail,
ures in life, because we mistakenly iden-
tify ourselves with the special object we
have in view. But that is a great mis-
take. It is because we cherish this su-
perfcial philosophy of life which makes
the end supreme and counts for nothing
the steps taken toward that end, and We
produce such shallow and dishonest
tvpes of character at the present day
thesa shoddy contractors, hash-in-the-
pan generals, sensational preachers, and
olaptrap politicians. No, friends, We
have right to count effort as we'll as
effect. Not the result of course of
conduct, but the motive and nature of
it, are the nll-inportant matter. You
cannot command success, whether the
means employed be fair or foul, but it
makes o great deal Of difference to your
personal character and to your fellow
men what kind Of methods you employ.
The consequences Of your actions are a
great deal more important than the
particular end they are intended to sub
serve A good end cannot justify bad
means, for these have already reacted
upon your character, and by force of





example demoralized others also. But.
if you fail in manliness, couraga and
integrity, then oil outward successes
amount to nothing. The man himself
that is the true end, and so far as we
fall short of that ideal, we fail. Out.
ward plans depend upon thousand
contingencies, but this inner triumph
the world can never deprive You of, be-
cause the world never gave it to you.
Let us hear no more sneers then at any
want of temporal success, no deprecia-
tion of patient painstaking, or labsrious
effort No man fails who does his duty.
If yoH are conscious of n righteous pur-
pose and the use of honest methods,
you have succeeded already, whatever
may be the result-C. W. Wendte.

The science of society amounts to
little true art unless certain genius
goes with the knowledge; and who will
deny that there is certain natural gift
for social influence, as there is for
all beautiful arts? Some persons have
Il rare social witchery who have not any
other forms of genius, and some wo-
men. of very moderate abilities in other
respects, have an art of pleasing that
amounts to fascination. One woman in
famous attire will gather great crowd
of notables in a grand house and give
them a great supper, and all shall be
flat and dull ; while some winsome lit
tie body, without any aashy costume
or parade. and sven without rare
beauty, will entertain her circle of
guests in a charming way of her own,
and make them all at home with her
and each other. She plays upon their
various tempers and traits and associa~
tiong as master hand plays upon the
harp or piano. I have sometimes
thought that wornanly charm, and per
haps even what in the best sense is
called flirting, could be made one of
the fine arts. and consecrated to charity,
and even to religion. That bright girl
takes that half dozen striplings in
hand, and touches each in turn with
playful grace, until they are willing
captiyes to her spell, and ready to buy
her pincushions or watch chains at the
fair, or 80 to her church and worship
by her prayer-book. There is line,
indeed, beyond which this flirting
ceases tc be fine art, and becomes
quite business-like and uti tarian,

of the South, should be encouraged
by all good friends of both races.


L Neither can be so prosperous and
happy as both would be, if separate
and living in different countries. Act
and feel as they may, human nature
itself will cause each to distrust and
suspect the other. History bears un-
deviating testimony to the fact that
no two races can long live together
peacefully and prosperously as MEM
bers of the same community. Anal
gamation or separation are the inev-
table alternatives. The Hebrews
and Canaanites, the Castilians and
Moors, the Europeans and North
American Indians, have all expe-
rienced the force of this law. But
these are only the most familiar ex-
amples. There are many Others.
For, wherever two races, of different
origin and different mental and NOR
al character, have been intermixed,
they both have lost their individuali-
ty and become one, or the self asser-
ton of each has widened the dis
tance between them. The ancient
Britons, Danes. Saxons and Nor
mans commingled and became what
Is now the English people; but it
was blending only of very similar
elements into a homogeneous whole.
But it is criminal madness to even
dream of such a consummation in
the case of the white and black races.
Therefore, there remains only the
other alternative of separation,
which must sooner or later come to
pass. Colonization presents pacific
and profitable solution of this prob
lem; and there is no cause for delay.
Endless trouble or the colonization
of Africa are all that we have left to
us, in this matter, to choose from.


2. The execution of this plan will
not only remove an incubus from the
white race, but it will also increase
the commercial activity of the ma
ton, while it can be made source of
profit to individual citizens. The
great continent of Africa has extern
sive regions of fertile lands, teeming
with animal and vegetable life, rich
in gold, diamonds andivory, and on
ly waiting to furnish to the negroes
of the South the home, which nature
designed for them.


8. Colonization in Africa offers to
the negro himself the only prospect,
which he can possibly find, of real
izing his hopes for social advance
ment or political preferment. In con-
tact with the white race in this
country he must forever remain sub
ordinate and inferior. In Africa,
among his own people, he can be-
come the peer of the greatest men of
his country. Socially or politically
he will find there no barrier in his
way to eminence.

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-Dur-
ing the past week. bit of romance has
occurred in the Children's Aid Society,
of New York, which hardly seems to
belong to this matter-of- fact age. The
New York Times tells the touching
story as follows:


A number ofyears since, the reports
of the society gave an account of a
sad event in Brooklyn. A woman had
been murdered by her drunken hus-
band, and a kind lady of that city dis
covered three wretched little children
weeping oyer the corpse, two boys and
girl. They were utterly frieHdless,
after the arrest and Imprisonment of
the father. The two boys we're
brought to the newsboys' lodging
house, in New York, and the girl tenn
porarily sheltered. At length the So
ciety sent the two lads to homes in the
West, and the girl was adopted by a
gentleman of property, near the city.
The latter never knew that her adopted
father was not her own. The boys
have now grown up and acquired prop
erty-one being a druggist and the
other farmer. They have been ex-
tremely anxious to communicate with
their sister, and have been in CORES
pondence with her guardian for some
time. During the past week they re-
visited the city for the first time, very
well-edueated young men, in good cir
cumstanees. They visited the Girls
Lodging house, the Newsbovs', and
other institutions of the society. The
adopted father of their sister consent
ed that they should see her in his office,
provided they did not disclose their
relationship, as she was only fifteen,
and he wished her to suppose herself
his daughter, so that her eraffection might
not be weakened for few years long
er. She is to inherit his property.
They felt the propriety of this, and
had their interview with her last week,
without discoveringth relationship,
and then returned, well satisfied, to the
West"

One of the Niagara Falls land
lords comes to the defense Of the
parties who at that place have final
" succeeded, in cutting of any
glimpse of the cataract except on
payment of a quarter. His defense
is that the people who owned the
land now included in Prospect Park,
had a right to fence it in and it is
nobody's business if they did so. All
Of which is entirely satisfactory
from a Niagara Falls stand point
which stand point is "stand and de-
liver" But that landlord cannot
even in 4 short card, help perpetrate
a Niagara Falls fraud. In speaking
Of Goat Island, he says one dollar
gives the visitor a right to visit that
island 365 days. Now that Is a
falsehood. True the ticket pur-
chased at dollar at the Goat Island
gate pretends to give the visitor the
privilege for a gear. But that IS a
fraud. for the year is made to end
every December 3lst Hence the
visitors there in summer, cannot use
their ticket the next season, even
though a year has not elapsed.

of this earth, but fifty cent petty
thieves and quarter of a dollar rob
bers are largely in the majority there

There is many rest in the road of life,


five would only stop to take it;
And many a song from the better lad,


If the Querulous heart would make H.
To the sunny soul that is full Of hope,


And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright
Though the winter storm prevaileih.
Better to hope though the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through,
When the ominous clouds are rifteli
There never was a night without day,


Or an evening without morning;
And the darkest hour, as the proverh goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many game in the path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
Il may be the love of little child,


Or mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only a beggar's grateful thanks


For a cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life


A bright and golden filing,
And to do Gods viii with ready heart,
And hands that are ready and willing,
Than to snap the delicate minute threads
OF our curious lives assunder,
And then blame heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit and grieve, and wonder.

"Be wise in time.p The
first few hours after an at
tack of Cholera are the pre-
cious moments in which, if
the proper remedies are
promptly used, a cure can be
effected in almost every case.
But the old saying that ade-
lays are dangerous" is not
more true in any case than
in neglecting to promptly at
tack Cholera when it attacks
you. Now, what everybody
wants is a medicine that they
can rely upon, one in which
they can have perfect conf
dence that should they have
occasion to use it, it will not
disappOint them. Such Il
medicine is the CHOLERA
CORDIAL prepared by G. r.
MCCULLOCH. It has been
thoroughly tested. In 1852,
when the Cholera ragged so
fearfully all through our
country, in Sandusky City,
where so many died, it was
the means of saving hun
dreds of lives. A nurse who
was through most of the
Cholera in Sandusky told me
that he never failed to save
a patient with the Cholera
Cordial if taken within three
or four hours of the first at
tack, and thoroughly perse-
Veredin. Al brother who lived
in Sandusky, and made and
sold thousands of bottles,
says of it: E'That with cool
ness and presence of mind,
and the Cordial promptly
used, Cholera need no more
be feared ="


Iprepare the Cordial after
the original formula, and
scores of families in Fremont
can testify to its reliability
in Cholera MOrbus, and
many a case of Cholera has
been prevented by its timely
use. i feel that the Cholera
is a disease that should not
be trifed with, and that to
palm off upon the public a
medicine that cannot be re
lied upon, would be leopard
izing the lives of all who
used it, yet I offer this with
confidence, it having been so
thoroughly tried and proved
reliable. .

happiness without it. Unless they can
be a central point in a room, the per-
sons to whom the largest amount of
attention is given, and who attract all
regards, they are miserable; if they are
sensitive as well as vain, they fret at
being snubbed if only vain, they chafe
at undeserVed neglect. This compare
tive neglect they cannot endure; their
egotism must have attention by fair

something to startle the surrounding

bring themselves to the front. They
are not in the least degree particular as

When they cannot attract attention

ton; by outrage ageousness in dress, by au-
dacity of speech, by insolence, or eceen-
tricity of bearing they are satisfied If
their bisGrrerte attracts and they are
not over critical as to the quality of at
tention it brings them. They never see

tonishment, or viewing them with but
