By way of their songs adorning, Of utllk-malds who rouse to manipulate cows, At Five o’clock in tho morning. And of moony young mowers who bundle out doors— The charms of their straw beds scorning— Before tho break of day to make Jove and hay, At Five o’clock in the morning. But between mo and you, It Is all untrue— Believe not a word they utter; To no milk-maid alive does tho lingers of live Bring beaux or oven bring butler. The poor cows if told to arouse, Would do so perhaps, In a horn-lng; But the sweet country girls, would they show lliolr curls At Five o’clock In tho morning? It may not bo wrong for tho man in tho song— Or tho moo 1 1f anxious to settle, To kneel on the wot grass, and pop. but alas! What, If he popped down on a knettlo? For how could ho sen what was under his knoo If in spile uf my friendly warning, Ho wont out. of bed his house and his head, At Five o’clock in the morning. It is all very well such stories to toll, But if I were n maid all forlornlng, And a lover should drop In tho clover, to pop, At Five o’clock in tho morning. If I liked him you see, I’d say “ Please call at three; If not I’d turn on him with scorning: Don’t come here, you Flat, with conundrums like that At Five o’clock lu tho morning.” A lIEART OF OOlil>. I thought I loved him. Why? Why because it was so gram! to have a lover. I was just sixteen years old, pretty, and aback wood’s girl. John May was one of father’s “ hands”—a tall, gay fellow that I was fond of.' All the other girls liked him, even my sister Lydia, who was even prettier than I; and still he wasn’t “ well offj” and had no good prospects.— He had his mother and little brother to take care of,,and was only a “lumber hand.” So my mother told me when they first talked over my proposal from him—father, mother and my sisters. I hadn’t anything to say only that I loved him, and by-aud-by they half withdrew their objections, and lot mo do as I would. He did love me. I can remember now a thousand little sacrifices he made, that showed as plain as could be that he loved me with a true, unselfish affection. If I was only proud of his straight limbs, strong bonds, curly, flaxen hair, and frank laugh, I knew how all the girls envied me when he began to show, as plain as day, that he was in love with me. When he went up the mountain with me one day, and rested on the ledge, he asked me—flushing up to his handsome eyes—to be his wife, because he loved me, I thought I should have au engage ment ring to show. But after we were engaged, he never seemed to think of it. The girls said that they did not believe that I was engaged to him, and I thought John ought to consider that I had a right to a ring. I said so. “John,” said I, pouting, “you ought to give me a ring.” He looked surprised. “ Why, Katie,” said he, “ a ring don’t amount to anything.” “ Yes it does,” I answered ; “ it means that we are engaged.” “But don’t wo know it, darling ?” he added, kissing me fondly. “ Yes, but other people don't. I can’t toll everybody, and they ought to know it.” “ We'll show them a marriage certifi cate by-and-by." “ I don’t want to be (married at pres ent.” " Very well, then, don’t trouble your e!f about other people until you are.— !'ee here, Katie, here is a little gold heart; it was made out of the first dollar I ever earned, when father died and I had mother and Jimmy to take care of. I got it made for a keep-sake. Take it and wear it to remember me by.” It was a pretty little bright thing, but it was not the engagement ring that I wanted. I kept pouting, but John treat ed me as if I were an unreasonable child, and when I wouldn’t laugh and chat with him, ho grew grave, kissed mo gently and went away, leaving me by myself in thenioonlighton theporeh. I wassoangry that I.cried—l had no idea Unit lie would refuse mo ; lie hud never before refused me anything. Ho hud always appeared glad when I expressed a wish that he might gratify it. I could not bear that he should deny me so cooly, when he saw how my heart was set on the tiling ; speaking briefly, and disregarding my resentment as though I were a child. I had not sat alone but a minute before I heard his step again. He came close to my side, and put his arms aroud me. “Katie,” said he, and I could see how gentle and earnest he looked in the moonlight, “ if I could get you a ring ea sily, I would do so, but I cannot. I can not do so without sacrlflciug the actual needs of those I love. You know, dear, that you are going to marry a poor man, and you must learn what the words pru deuee, frugality and economy mean. 1 had to learn them long before I was as old as you are. Your desire for the ring is only a whim, Katie, it isn’t a necessi ty. lam living very strictly now, that I may deprive my dear mother of nothing in her old age, if I make you my wife next year. You know what my menus are. Katie, won’t you ho good and help me?” He looked so firm and good, yet so sor rowful and wistful, that I cannot under stand now why X was so stubborn and wicked. I looked him definitely in the eyes. " How mean!” said I. He straightened himself quickly, and stepped back from me. Then he said, in an altered voice: • “ Do you think so, Katie ?” “Yes,” I answered, “it's as mean us dirt to talk economy to me about such a thing. It was bad enough for me to have to ask for it; any other man I know would not have obliged me to do it. It is mean, and it alters my feelings towards you. Take back this heart Ido not want II My hand trembled, and so did his, and the heart dropped to the ground. He picked it up. Tr “ You don’t want my heart, Katie?” I was silent. “ Katie, speak to me." But I would not speak. “Good night," said he, aud turned away. I dropped my bead down and sat there sullen, for an hour after ho had gone down the hill road. At last the deck in the kitchen struck nine. I was damp with dew, and arose to go into the bouse. Just then I saw some one riding up the hill on horse back. Pretty soon I saw who it was— Bradford Terry, l who owned the tract of land on the other side of the hill, and more woods than any other man in the country. Hb drew up his horse at the gate. “Good evening, Miss Katie; are you waiting for your lover?” I don’t know what made me say it, but I answered. “ No ; I haven't any lover." Bradford Terry was a little, shrewd, business man, with a small body and a more insignificant soul. I knew it very well, yet 1 waited for him to speak again, sitting there on his fine, iron-gray horse. "Haven't?" well I’m glad tojiear it. I was afraid you were going to throw yourself away on some poverty stricken fellow —John May, for instance." My cheek burned at his words, but he was looking at me shrewdly, and I toss ed my bead. “ No indeed !” “ Too pretty for that. Ah, these hand some girls know their value. Miss Ku tie, would you marry an old follow like me if he was rich, and would make a la dy of you ?” I laughed coqncttlshly. “ You are not very old, Mr. Terry.” “Onli* fifty—square fifty—ami you are sixteen. la that too much difference.” I was Silent. He had dismounted, and standing, be side me was trying to take my hand. ‘‘Pretty one,” said he, “ will you be my wife? You shall dress in silks and diamonds.” “ Diamonds!” ‘‘Yes; diamonds on your white neck, and on .your little hands, ami on your wrists. They will glitter like your eyes. Will you have them ?” “Yes,” fired with the dazzling vision of myself which arose before me. “I’ll marry you if .you will give me all 1 want.” “ I will. You shall have all the money you want, ami spend it as you like.” “ I will marry you.” He looked at me in the moonlight. “ Now, you won’t change your mind to-morrow?” “ No.” “I shall, hold you to your promise.— See here, will you wear this?” He slipped a ring from his linger. I caught the glitter of a splendid diamond. ** Yes.” He placed the ring upon my linger. “Now you are mine. Beauty, good night!” I bent my head in silence. He mount ed to the saddle, and looking steadily back at me, rode slowly away. I went to my chamber and retired.' It was strange after all this excitement, that I could sleep ; but I fell into a heavy slumber, and did not awake until morn ing. It was late, and the sun was shin ing into the room. A little cup, quaint ly formed of birch-bark, which John May had idly fashioned one evening, as we sat together, stood on the stand at the bedside. I put out my hand, smil ing, to take it, when the diamond glit tered in the light. Then all the work of the previous night flashed upon me. Fora long hour I lay still, thinking, as I never thought before. At last I de cided to abide by my decision. I would keep the diamond. I would be the wife of Bradford Terry, and have more dia monds, and luxury without stint. After this I did not see John May for months. The news of my engagement to Bradford Terry, the rich landlord, spread like wildtire. The girls, my old schoolmates, looked at mo with a sort of awe; my mother was in a state of con stant agitation and surprise at the honor to be conferred upon the family, and I laughed carelessly at all, and thought of the’diamonds. I don’t think I was myself all the win ter. My mother wondered why I was so wild and restless. “Why don’t you sit down, Katie?” she would say. “You must learn to bo dignified and composed.” I’d run away from them all, and walk the hills, to come home pelted by tlu* storms. T liked them. I’d rush, in the face of the lightning, over the crags, and standing on the dizzy heights, sing wild ly, with the thunder of chorus. I would scream recklessly until the woods would throb with echoes. Then I would come home and act rationally for a day or an evening. Spring came. The river opened, and the logs, which had been bedded in the stream all winter, while it was frozen, came floating down with the blocks of ice. In some cases they came over the falls, a giant net work of ponderous logs, thundering, foaming, straining, and wal lowing in their entanglement, now ami then blocking up the river’s course, and calling for peril.and enterprise among the timber bands, that they might be dis engaged and sent smoothly on their way to the sawing district, two miles below. When news first came that the ice had broken up, the men started from their winter quarters and prepared for labor. • An impulse to go up the river and sec* them at work, seized me. I went secret ly, for my father would not have given tiis consent. I went at daylight, one glistening morning, to a large l«*dge of rocks which bid in the bushes, overlooked the river without being seen. Bruising (be sweet wild bayherry and fern, I crouched down there and waited for the men (o come. I could hear their voices, aud I knew that the logs were coming. The river seemed to hurry as it flowed, as if in fear of an impending disaster.— Already T could hear the thundering of the breaking ice and plunging logs us • they went over the falls. Listening, watching, waiting, I for got myself and fell. I had just heard the approaching shouts of the men, and a nearer familiar voice as it called an or der. Then I lost my senses an I reeled headlong into the river. I might have died there and been hap py, but love was stronger than death. Through the half unconscious distress of drowning I heard the voice I knew hot ter than that of the mother who bore me. I flung out my arms, struggling with the old current, was clasped and lifted back, living, to ray father’s arms. I knew where I was; then came a warning shout: “Quick! quick! John, the logs are coming!” I saw it all; It was too late; and the logs swept down on the struggling form and pale face. He went under them, and I never saw his face again. They took him from the river two miles be low, hut no one was allowed to see him —not even his mother. The heart I would not have was lost to me forever. “ Did I marry Bradford Terry?” Ves.

We have in our eye two citizens of this town —the one a ricn Radical Bond-hold er, the other a well-to-do Mechanic. — The first came into possession, (by mar riage,) of two fine farms, which he sold in 1862 for $30,000 and invested it all in 5,20 bonds. The last, by dint of hard work, baa been able to buy aproperty as sessed at $5,000 wherein he lives and car ries on business. That is all the proper ty he owns. Ten years ago, if the Radical had in vested his $30,000 in Government bonds, lie would have received an annual inter est of $lBOO and paid his full share of tux es. What interest has be been getting for the last six years? Eighteen Hundred Dollars a year, IN GOLDI That gold lie sold at an average of about 60 per cent., realizing $lOBO more every year. Add this to the $lBOO and wo have $2BBO, as the yearly income from his $30,000. Here is a gain of $lOBO a year, over the regular legal interest, besides having no luxes to pay, which is equal to $l2OO a year. He keeps bis carriage and horses, and uses the public roads, but pays no road tax. The property of the Mechanic pays his share. He sends his Children to the Public Schools, but pays no School tax. The Mechanic pays for the education of his Children. He has the benefit of the State and County governments, Courts, &c., giving him the protection of the Laws, but pays no State nor County taxes. The Mechan ic pay- these for him. The Mechanic pays on his property 4 per cent, taxes, on $2OO a year. If the Radical lives to keep his Bonds twenty years, ho will have drawn $36,000 interest, and $21,600 premium on his gold—which is a fortune in itself. And yet we are told by the Radicals that at the end of these twenty years we must pay him the principal of his Bonds In gold ! This is the Radical system of “ making the Rich richer.” “ Take care of the rich,” said the Fede ralists in the days of John Adams, “and the rich will take care of the poor.” But the poor now-a-days prefer taking a e of themselves. “ONE CURRENCY FOR ALL.”- Money that is good enough for the Far mer, Hie Mechanic and the Laborer, is good enough for the Bondholder. Take the case of the Journeyman Me chanic. What are his wages? From $2 to S 3 a day, with a family dependent on labor. Does lie get bis pay in gold ? Ob no. Saturday night comes and he draws his Sl2 or $l5 or SIS, Three dollars of it go (or house rent. Hie boys want Shoes mol Muslin for Shirts, besides a good many other articles, meat, flour, vegeta bles,'eoflee, sugar, &o. He or his wife goes to tile Shoe ktore, tin* Dry Goods stole ami the Grocery. Hell dsihatslB don’t go us fur as SU) did ten years ago.— Ain’t this true? Every old housekeeper knows that it is. And why ? Because every thing has doubled in price, in oou sec|iieiice of heavy taxation. Because the Radicals have kept house so badly,— have plunged the Country so enormous ly into debt—feeding thousands of lazy, iille negroes, supporting a huge standing army, “ reconstructing” Negro States and other extravagant party projects, that public credit is impaired and a dollar Greenback 1s worth only 00 cents. Now lake thelcuse of the Laborer.— His average pay Is about 51,75 per day.— On this he must live, pay rent aud clothe his family. How far will his 510.50 per week go? He is glad to live in a shanty in a dirty alley at from $BO toSIOO ayear. Ten years aeo ho could rent a comforta ble House in a respectable street for $5O. Very few mince pies or strawberries do bis young ones get. How many Spring chickens, Mr. Workingman, at $1 per pair, can you afford to buy! Are you not glad, at the end of the year, that you have kept body and soul together? No gold interest for you. You get your pay in Greenbacks—oo cents on the dollar. And remember ! Whenever you buy a hut, a coat, a few yards of muslin or anv thing else you pay a TAX for the FREEDMEN’S BUREAU! Are you as well off as you was ten years ago, when you worked for $l,OO a duv ? WHAT IS THE REMEDY ? Simply to help turn the Radical party out of power and put conservative men at the head of our Government who are pledged in favor of ECONOMY and RE FORM.

JB)sy*‘RepublicaniBiu is now playing Us farewell engagement. This is positively its last appearance before the American people. & VOL. 55.—N0. 13, WHICH IS THE PARTY OP REPUDIA- TION. TE! 1864 in the Legislature of Pennsyl vania, by and under the authority of lie publicans signed and sanctioned by n Radical Governor, n bill was passed that the interest of the State debt should be paid in greenbacks instead of in coin, ay provided by the act of 1840; in other words they said that where our Stale owes one hundred dollars, her debt shall be discharged by paying sixty. . Is this repudiation ? In 1802, a Republican Congress at Washington, issued the “Legal Tenders” which obliged a creditor to receive his demand in a depreciated paper, while gold, the lawful currency of the Consti tution, was selling for more than two hundred. Is this repudiation ? - But their repudiation has been broader and deeper than this. They declared that this war was waged for the preserva tion of the Union, and that when the war closed, the Union would he restored ; and yet after three years of darkness ami shame; after the people have paid into the treasury over fourteen hundred and fifty millions of dollars , the Union is not restored. Th this repudiation? They promised io mini incur nuty to the widows and tbe orphans of the sol diers who now slumber and sleep beneath the sod in thousands of numelos.s graves, but they pay them a miserable pittance for their pensions, and pay it in yreen backs, while they claim for themselves tho interest and principal of their bonds in gold, which even these greenback pensions are taxed to pay. Is this repudiation ? They write in letters “Let us have peace,” while a military despotism is e« tablished over one section, and arms are proposed to be distributed by act of Con gress, among tho/negroes in tho South preparatory to a general and indiscrimin ate slaughter of the whites. Is this repudiation ? They incorporate into their platform at Chicago, a plank favor! ng economy, while they extend the Freedmeu’s Bureau un til after the elections, at an increase of several millions, and refuse to reduce the standing array until another year; while they have increased the national debt, by their speculation, appropriation, and thieving, until it is now greater than at the close of the war ! Is this economy ? Citizens of onr common country, they have repudiated every obligation and every pledge made to you and yours.— They have broughtyou almost to the door of destruction and ruin ; until now you • are obliged to work for three days to pro cure for your families what before you could receive for tho labor of one day. They are appropriating millions lor the maintenance and education of negroes in tbe South, and call upon you to support them from your scanty purses, levying taxes upon tho money received by the sweat of your brow, and almost through blood and tears. They will plot tbe de struction of twenty-five millions of their own race, to raise to an unnatural eleva tion, eight million of negroes. They will bankrupt the country and deluge it with crimson dye warm from the hearts of men, to perpetuate their rule, and to do under tbe guise of this new' revolution, what they could never do under the Con stitution. Let us see to it that these gol den apples which they hope to pluck shall turn to ashes on their lips. Dons tbo Laboring Alan Pay any Taxes? While the producing industries of the country are unjustly taxed, and the al most intolerable burdens of the war rest' upon tnoso who fought the battles and made the sacrifices, tnoso Who tilled land to produce supplies, the organs of the Radicals are asserting that not one labor ing man in every hundred pays a penny of taxes to the government directly.— True, the laboring man does not pay his taxes directly to the government, but ev ery man of sense knows that the consu mer pays the tax upon every article manufactured by capital. A practical workingman, a few days ago, being in our office, handed us the following, which in Itself is a volume of argument to show that the noor man does pay taxes : Radical legislation requires the consu mer to pay* all taxes. It taxes The hat on your head. The hoots on your feet. The (dot hes on your person. The food you eat. The tea ami eolleeyou drink. The pot it is cooked in. The cup you drink it out of. The implements on your farm. The tools you work with. The paper you write on. The i en and ink you use. The paper and books you read. The furniture in your house. The gas or oil you burn. 'Pile coal you consume. The stove you burn it in. The mulch you light it with The medicine you take. The tobacco you euioke. The pipe smoke it In. The dishes on your table. All you eat off them. RoldicrK Titriu'fl out of Office and the Negroes Kept In. Lust week ninety odd Union soldiers were discharged from tho different De partments of the Government at Wash ington, and all the negroes retained in their fat places! Some of these white soldiers, who fought bravely for the res toration of the Union, had but one leg, others hut one arm, and nunt. of them were badly wounded and crippled for life. The-e are tile men that Radical ism turns out of office and throws upon the cold charity of an unfeeling world, to beg and starve while the m*uro is pampered and fed at the expense of the Government, and provided with snug situations at seventy-five and one hun dred dollars per month—situations which many a poor b\it brave and honest sol dier, with a large family looking to him for support, would be glad to have.— While men —what say you? Are you willing to submit to Ibis outrage much longer ? If you are, then rote for Grant and Colfax, but if you wish to see the poor and deserving white men of our country in those situations, you must vote for Seymour and Jllair. Old They no It ? Did not tho Radical Congress increase your taxes? Did not the Radical Congre.-s exempt the rich man’s bonds ? ’ Did not the Radical Congress give to New England Manufacturers a high pro tective tariff by which yon are made to pay double the usual prices on all your wear ? Did not the Radical Congress Increase the wages of its members ? Did not the Radical Congress dissolve the Union for which our brave soldiers fought? Did not this Radical Congress establish a military despotism over the South ? Did it not disfranchise the white men of the South and enfranchise the negroes? Did it not establish a bureau for the benefit of the blacks ? Did you not have to pay high tuxes for Radical politics? Are these not reasons why you should shun the Radical ticket? gfcgf* Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, In an editorial article published in the licvn ■ lu/inn, a New York paper, says 2 Inclosing we appeal to every patriot (including all the conservative element; we especially mention them us their pa triotism Is doubtful, and excluding the Radicals, as theirs is certain) to forget all past differences and unite with us in the great approaching struggle to elect Ho ratio Seymour and Frank Blair, that the work to restore the Union, the Constitu tion and the Laws, may be commenced in earnest. ♦ • Kates for Sltowrtiatns AnvKnxrsEMEKTa will bo msorted ot Ton < ent* per line for tho first Insertion, and five vents per line for each subsequent'lnsertion, vitim - terly, half-yearly, and yearly advertisement* in • sorted at n liberal redaction on the above’rote*'.

The Now York Herald, after weighing all Che chances, has at last come to tho conclusion that ” the history of tho Radi cal party is such that the people will not trust it again on any terms.” Nobody denies the intelligence that guides tho Herald . and no party feeling ever re strains it from taking tho stronger side. Yesterday its convictions were thus ex pressed : Two points in the canvass are more important than all others—the history of the Radical party, and tho nigger vote.— For eight years the Republican 1 party has been in. power, and the final results, as seen by the people, are tbo derange ment of all machinery of government, an almost incredible corruption in office, and a weight in tuxes that bears com merce and labor to tho earth. Will the people longer have patience with a party that lias such a history? This is the question of the hour. Is there any fear in our future that'should move the peo ple to trust this party again, oven des pite the fearful chance that it may con tinue the same destructive career that has already been so disastrous to the na tional piosperity? Can any other party inflict upon us evils worse than those wo now miller l\io. fumsoanonno of Radi cal miflvulo V Reconstruction by a sys tem of legislation that deliberately forges calamity for a whole people and prepares the social ruin of 9 ten States to secure power to a coterie of politicians—this Is ■he political crime that stumps the Radi cal faction as utterly damnable before the people. Men inquire what the faction would stop at that would purchase such an end by such moans, and they know that It will not stop at anything sacred in the law and will respect the rights of the people in the North as little as it bos done in tho South. Rocs the name of Grunt furnish any guarantee for tho fu ture of the Radicals? The peopleare not ready to believe it. Grant is politically only a promise and a possibility. Re spectable men are not willing to doubt bis honesty or bis upright purpose; but these do not always qualify for success in such a strife as he must control to save the people from his party. He may prove capable; ho may not, and it is a time when the people cannot trust their future to such a chance. Therefore the doom of Radicalism seems to be burned into the popular brain, and on such rea soning os we have hinted the people ap pear to drift towards what they regard a a the least of two evils, without faith in the Republicans and little hope in the Democrats. Men on either side count for little; it is tho history of the Radical parly that condemns it. It is upon these broad views and judg ments of parlies that the people move.— The common mind averages great results by processes of its own. Isolated facts uro forgotten, this or that virtue or vice seems to pass away, but tho 'balance of history is made up at tho polls and Ken tucky indicates tho tendency. * * * The case of the' Presidency, therefore, judged by'the main facts, seems to stand thus: The history of the Radical party is such that the people will not trust it again on any terms, and this conviction threatens to give the North to the Demo crats. If, however, this fails, there is a possibility that Grant may be beaten by losing tbe whole South through the de fection of tbe negroes, who will go over to the Democrats, partly led by the natu ral influences of association and partly by resentment for tbe relinqulshmeutby tbe Radicals of that measure that was from tho first regarded as necessary to sustain their political opposition to their former masters. A Jnpnncto Italic. Every Japanese girl, of no matter what class in society, appears inspired with an innate love of coquetry. The daughter of the humblest tradesman loves to pass whole days in shopping, and takes the greatest delight in preparing, long before it is needed, the dress she intends to dis play for the first time at the next fete . — The day arrived, the happy girl rises early In the morning, and while her fresh new dress lies in some corner of the room, impatiently submits to the dilatory labors of her hairdresser, in whose pro fession there are some artists so celelira r.ed shat they devote whole hours to the study and toil requisite for the composi tion of some graceful or fashionablcstyle, where the hair, carefully dressed with the brush and pomade, half hides a piece of crape, chosen, and fas tened by heavy pins of tortoise, shell or coral. The chignon, it must be confess ed, is not altogether of nature’s growth, and if, after the hair, we examine the face, we shall see that Madame Rachel herself could not teach the Japanese ..much in the art of making up. 'On the dressing table stands a perfect collection of little boxes Just drawn from some hiding place; there are whites'for the neck, the arms and the bust; reds for the mouth and cheeks; black for the eyes; sometimes gold for the lips, and yet with all these aids from art, age is unable to conceal its decrepitude, while strangely enough, tho children arc mostly laden with paint. Putting aside this coquetry, universal in spite of its bad taste, the dress is very simple, and invariably well chosen. A silk robe, generally of u dark hue, covers a chemise eu crepe, made of patches of every color, a perfect harlequin’s mantle, where bright green is put beside a lively red. In winter the costume is completed by a short mantle doubled and thickened according to the season. The diess is long,. without shape, open from top to bottom, tho upper part is confined by a belt broad enough to cover the breast and tho lower part of the form, and tern i nating behind iu an enormous knot. (<> tie which, with more, or less elegance, demands a careful examination and many retouches. The sieves hang like large pockets. To the belt are fastened a pipe in a velvet case, and a pocket book containing two chop-sticks of silver, if it is intended to do honor to the host who may offer refreshments. Tn one corner of the pocket book sparkles a little mir ror, an European innovation, for our civilization has made this slight breach of Japanese manners. Daring tho greater portion of the year the feet are bare; iu winter they are clad in white cotton, and rest upon sandals of varnished wood, kept by wooden sup ports high enough above the'ground to escape tho mud and tho damp. The san dal is ornamented with braids of straw, or sometimes velvet, and held to the foot by a strip of cloth passed between tho toes. Occasionaly it is covered with leather or paper, but is never honored by being worn iu the house. A Working Man’s Opinion.—While the Radicals of Detroit were firing a sa lute in ratification of the nomination of General Grant, a workingman was heard to exclaim: •' ** Fire your guns!” you can’t fool mo any longer. I voted your ticket until it takes three dollars to buy what I used to. get for seventy-five cents; and now.it i> about time fora change.” There are thousands of workingmen In every State who fell just so. They have voted the Radical ticket for the last time. They want u a change,” and they are bound to have it. No amount of clap trap about Grant’s military record can blind them,to the fact that he la the mean dumb fool of the most desperate men In the Radical party; The work ing men won’t touch him. - Digest, JBST*“ The Republican parly has brought no peace, no repose, no prosperi ty to the country.
