THE DYING EOT.
Fai-e ias gently, mother darlin;.
Km'se my head upon jour breast,
So your face the la:.t I gaie on,
As 1 pass away to rest.
Press me closer, mother darling.
Closer to your heart enfold.
Lower bend your head and kiss me,
Sow my lips are growing cold.
Weep not so. my mother darling.
There is naught in death to fear ;
You have taught me who to trust in,
When the time was drawing near.
And the verge I'llcross in safety,
Though the river dark may flow,
For beyond all's love and kindness
Love which here we ne'er could know.
Mother, darling. I feel weary,
Lull my aching head to rest
With the songs of early childhood
Sing the one I love the best.
Mother dear, your voice sounds strangely,
Not like mother's voice of old.
And your tear drops, falling on me.
Chill my weary heart with cold.
And your loving face is fading.
Do not leave me mother dear ;
Naught can fright me, death or darkness,
With my loving mother near.
Yonder yonder see. 'tis coming
All that brightness drawing nigh,
I,ooe your arms 'tis vain to hold me;
Mother, kiss me last good bys.

to where I was standing on the head uv a
barl.
"Here's the last Looisville paper," sed
Jsef unfolding it. "Shall I read it?"
"Reed! Reed!" yelled the crowd. "Give
us the noose uv the downfall uv the bloated

"Before I reed," sed Josef, who had
glanced at the hed-Jins uv the telegraft col

"Very good," said Joseph. "This paper

Frank Blair wuz nominated by acclamation.
Ez Seymour is opposed bitterly to Pendle
ton's greenback policy, I spose, uv coarse,
the Coroners will repoodiate the ackhen uv
the convenshin."
An! with a laffwkh wuz devilish in the
extreme, Josef left the stand.
The meeting broke up in a row. The Cor
ners felt that they had bin impose 1 upon,
and hed I not gout out uv the way I mite
hev bin personally injoored.
The Peekin, Bascom, Kernel McPelter,
Issaker Gavitt and I met in the Postoffis
after the excited crowd hed dis-j erted and
consaltcd. We wuz in a ruther tite place.
Rely in on the strength of our candidate, we
hed gjne to far in djn-iutiein the- others,
tho for that matter what could we do ? The
two policies is so cussed opposite that we
can't support the one without denouncin the
toiler. Itwnz decided that we support j
the ticket. We felt it wuz safe. Seymour,
if he is elect id, can't discriminate between
his supporters in the distribooshen uv post
olfises, and after all that is the reel question
at ishoo. After given the subjiek a more
matoor considera.-hun, we come to the con-clu.-hen
that the credit an! staudiu uv the
Government demanded the payment uv the
Nashncl indebtedness in gold, an! that any
thing short of that wood be repoodiashin.
"I wonder," sed I, "that any honest man,
any man who bcleeves in mantaning unim
paired the credit of the Government, shood
think for a moment uv payin the debt in
anything but wot wuzeontemplated honest,
hard gold." At a meetin the next nite to
ratify Seymour's nomination, I sed this over j
agin, and aked em ef any Pimoerat who re
membered the glorious fite Jackson made
for bard money, wood consent for a moment
to multiply a irredeemable paper currency.
No ! let us ez our glorious stundard bearer,
Seymour, hez so boldly perclaimed, let us
pay our debt in Democratic money gold,
hard, shinin, yaller gold. Three cheers for
Seymour.
And they cheered ez vigerously ez I ever
heered men cheer. Ther aint no trouble in
managin the Dimocrisy, All they want is
to hev it settled wot they are to hurrah for
for, and they hurrah for it. Notwithstand
ing the fo pmc I made the first nite, we shell
poll the yoosual vote for Seymour, and pos-
! sibly more. Yet the experiment wnz a leetle

"I like Grant," said a German the other
day, "because he don't blow, lie minds
his own business, and he says nothing
about it."
The Xew York Citizen says that "tho
first thing to be done is to prove Seymour's
loyalty during the war." This is taking the
hardest job first.
William Wood, a Union soldier during
the war, was taken from his home, in Mon
roe county, Kentucky, on Monday uight,by
the Ku Klux Klau, an 1 hanged.
Mr. Howell Cobb. to whose extraordinary
energy and noble patriotism the country
was indebted ior an empty treasury at the
breaking out of the war, has endorsed the
Democratic nominations.
One of the standing charges made again?
Grant by the Democrats is that he sacrific
ed the lives of his men. If this were true
we do not see the force of the objection there
beine few if any Democrats among tl e
number.
The Democratic nominations for Presi
dent and Vice President have carried disap
pointment into every part of the East and
West, but all advices from the South show
that the ticket has been received there with
tumultuous exultation.
The statement that Horatio Seymour
never has owned United States bomis, elic
its the fact,also. that he was equally careful
to avoid taking any of the bonds issued by
his own cou.ity, during the war, for raising
and fitting out troops. "Xot a man, or a
dollar."
The Finnnciil Bulletin, referring to the
financial acts of Congress, remarks: Taken
as a whole, the fiuanoi il higisla ion of Con
gress may be regarded as favorable, and as
tending to the removal or readjustment of
the burdens of taxation that press more se
verely upan industry.
Mr. Humphrey Marshall of Keutucky,
announce! in his speech, at a Democratic
ratification meeteng in Louisville, that if
the Democrat ii! t'eket is elected, the party
will "wipe out" all that has been done in
the way of reconstruction and the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution.
"There should be the greatest vizilnnec
banners at Yieksburg. If we would con
ipier rebellion at the polls, in November
next, we mu-t join the Grant and -Colfax
forces, and tioour share of picket duty.
Two Democrats recently pet fire to a
church in M: -guolia, Miss., because they
hud b'Vii refused the use of it for a political
meeting, l'ive thousand Democrats once
set C:e to an Orphan Asylum in New
York because several thousand Democrats
in gray had been killed at Yieksburg and
Gettysburg.
At a Seymour and Blair ratiScat ion meet
ing held in Cincinnati last week, Pugh said
that '"the Democratic party demanded that
the National banks be abolished." llamp
tf n, Toombs & Co." strike for this and much
more for demanding the abolition of the
Government altogether, and the substitu
tion of the Confederacy. Pugh, Blair
& Co. will come to it soon enough, how
ever.
The Toronto Globe, looking on the condi
tion of American politics from the stand
point of a disinterested ob-erver, says:
"The infatuation of the Democrats ii. put
ting forward such men as Hampton as their
representatives in the South in the Presi
dential contest, seems almost to amount to
lunacy. These men accept the situation,
simply while they cannot do better, and not
an hour longer."
I'on. J. N. Morris, of Illinois, says: A
few days alter the nominations were made
by the New York Convention, I had a con
versation in Washington City with General
Cu-hing, of Massachusetts, in which that,
eminent politician said: "The simple ques
tion to determine at the election is, shall
(ieneral Grant or Frank Blair b President
for the next fjur years? for if Seymour is
elected he won't live a year."
A Democrat, while hearing the declara
tion of American Independence read at the
Fourth of July celebration at Ridgeville,'
Ohio, where it recites that "all men are cre
ated free, and are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable ru-hts.among which
are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi
ness," turned upon his heel and walked
away, muttering that he "wouldn't, li-ten to
any such a d d abolition speech as that."
The Republicans of Maine are preparing
for an active campaign, and are thoroughly
aroused to the importance of the coming
election in September. They mean to give
Gov. Chamberlin at least ".0,000 majority
and make it as much more as possible. The
New York nominations disgusted many of
the Democrats, and they will take no active
part in the campaign, feeling that the elec
tion in that State is a foregone coi elusion.
The New York Sun, independent in pol
itics, states what every discerning man real
izes is the real state of the case, when it
says: "General Blair's revolutionary letter
killed the Democratic ticket as soon as his
name was put on it. The Democratic reb
el orators at the South, older in their busi
ness than BUir, and just as violent and rev
olutionary, are hard at it completing the
work. If ther are allowed to keep on in
this way much longer, it is doubtful wheth
the Democracy will even be able to carry
Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland. Gov
ernor Seymour oughf to hurry and call off
his dogs. They are hurting nobody but
their own party and its principal candidate."
I Wish I had Capital.
So we heard a great straping young man
exclaim the other day in an office. We did
want to give him a piete of our minds so
bad ; and we'll just write to him. You want
capital do you ? And suppose you had what
you call capital, what would you do with it?
You want capital ! Haven't you hands and i
brains, and don't you call them capital?
What more capital did God give any body?
Oil, but they are not money," you say.
But they are more than money, and nobody
can take them from you. ' Don't you know
how to use them ? If you don't it's time
you were learning. Take hold of the first
plow, or hoe, or jack plane, or broad axe
that you can find, and go to work. Your
capita! will soon yield a large interest. Ay,
but there the rub 1 You dou't want to work ;
you want credit, that yeu may play gentle
man and speculate, and end by playing vag
abond. ,
Or you want a plantation with plenty of
hirelings upon it to do the work, while you
run over th- c untry and dissipate; or want
to marry some rich girl who may be foolish
enough to take you for your good looks, that
she nny support you.
Shame on yon man ! Go to work with the
capital you have, and you'll soon make in
terest enough upon it to give you a- much
money as you want and make you feel like
a man. If you want to make money or can't
make money on what capital you have, you
could not make it if yon had a million of dol
lars in money. If you don't know how
to use lone and muscle and brains, you
would not know how to usegold. If you
let the capital you have lie idle, and waste
and riist out, it would le the same with
you if you had gold ; you would only know
how to waste it.
Then don't stand about idle, a great help
less child waiting for somebody to come in
and feed you, but go to work. Take the
(iit work ou can fimlno matter what it is.
so that you may do it well. Yes, .whatever
you undertake, do it weil ; always do your
best. If you manage the capital you already
have, you will soon have plenty more to
manage; but if you can't or won't manage
the capital God has given you, you will
never have any other to manage. Do you
hear, young man ?
those, white robed' einl?.J'.??j?Tli love and
sympathy, which it has been our fortune to
receive in days forever passed. There is a
joy and comfort in perusing them, and re
flecting upon their sweet, sad history naught
! else can give, and which render them the
dearest mementoes (if life. 1 hey call up
reminiscences of the pa.t, and cause us to
re-live, as it were, all our previous joys and
happiness, and carry us back 'neath memory's
holy charm to the scenes half buried in the
mazes of departed years. They seem to
bring us onec more in social communion
with the beloved spirits who shared with us
life's earlier dawn, and animate anew the
weary heart with pen-pictuies of hope and
happiness. And those, too, which were the
mournful bearers of anguish and pain are
none the less welcome ; for did not their
tones of sadness enli.-c ail our sympathy and
attention? And thoy are none the less
prized now since time has wrought his sad
dened impress upon all of earth. and left but
these tinged dottings tore.-all their author's
ex'stencc. To the appreciative heart they
are ever interesting ; and what a thrill of
emotion is experienced as one by one are
traced the lines of hope, joy, pain and bit
terness of by-gone greetings, and the fact
that so many of their cheri.-hed authors we
shall know no more on earth, but render
them more dear, and cause us to cling with
affection to the leaves of history left us of
their lives.
How to ScrcEr.D. One of the largest
and most sueees?ful shoe manufacturers of
Lynn, Mass., worked seven years to get a
capital of one thou 'and dollars, with which
he commenced business. His earnings du-
ring these years were ju-t five dollars a week
two hundred and tii'ty dollars a year. He
paid two dollars a week for board, and made
one dollar pay all other expenses, thus sav
ing one hundred and four dollars each year,
which, with the interest added and small
amounts gained in trade, amounted in seven
vears to the sum above named. The first
; year in business he cleared five hundred dol
lars, the second a thousan.1, and the third
two thousand all the time cutting his own
shoes, and keeping his personal expenses
down to the old sum three dollars per week.
As his means increased his operations en
larged, and for several years past ha has
done a very large and successful business,
and is known as one of the hist and most
liberal of the citizens of I,ynu, giving large
sums to charitable purples. During the
last year he did a busine.s of $300,000 the
profits of which was $40 OoO, and the total
loss, by bad debts, one case of boots worth
one -hundred and fifty dollars.
Use of the Fly. The fly has its uses.
He serves to keep ba'd-headed sinners
awake at church on a warm summer's day,
so that their unrcgencratod hearts may be
touched by the preached word. He also en
courages the spirit of invention, inducing
the inventive to tax thedr brains incontriving
fly-trays. (The flying trap aze has no con
nection with fly traps. ) As it is through
trials alone that a patient .spirit reaches its
full complete development, the flV is a use
ful agent in the good work ; for the man
who can patiently endure the persistent ef
forts of a fly to alight upon the end of bis
nose on a warm day,has very nearly reached
the perfection of patient bcautitude.
Female Suffrage.
"Mark Twain" writes to his "Cousin
Jennie" on the subject of "Female Suf
frage." as follows: There isone insuperable
obstacle in the way of female suffrage, Jen
nie ; I approach the subject with fear
but it must out. A woman would never vote
because she would have to tell her age at
the polls. And even if she did dare to vote
once or twice when she was of age, you know
what dire results would flow from "putting
this and that together" in after times. For
instance, in an unguarded moment. Miss A.
says she voted for Mr. Smith. Her auditor,
who knows that it is seven years since
Smith ran for anything, easily cyphers
out that she is least seven years over age,
instead of the young pullet she has been
making herself out to be. No, Jennie, this
fashion of registering the name, age resi
dence and occupation of every voter is a fa
tal bar to female suffrage.
Women will never be permitted to vote
or hold office, Jennie, and it is a lucky thing
for me and many other men, th it such is the
decree of "ate. Because, you see, there are
some few measures they would all unite on,
there are one or two measures that would
bring out their entire votii g strength in
spite of their apathy to making themselves
conspicuous, and there being vastly more
women than men in this State, they would
trot these measures through the Legislature
with a velocity that would Ijj appalling.
For instance they would enact :
1. That all men should be at home at ten,
p. m.. without fail.
2. That married men should bestow con
siderable attention on their wives.
3. That it should be a hanging offense to
sell whisky in saloons, and that fine and dis
franchisement should follow drinking in such
places.
4. That the smoking of eigars to excess
should be forbidden and the smoking of
pipes utterly aboli-hed.
5. That the wife should have a little prop
erty of her own when she married a man
who hadn't any.
Jennie, such tyranny as this we could
never sta id, o-ir free souls could never en
dure . such thraldom. Women, go your way!
Seek not to beguile us of our privileges.
Content yourselves with your little feminine
trifles your babies, your benevolent socie-tij3jw4-ckwiu&

be wanting to go to war next. We will let
you teach sch'Xtl as much as you want to.
and we will pay you halt wages for it, too.
butbew ire ! we don't want you to crowd us
too much.
If I get time. Cousin Jennie, I will fur
nish you a picture of a female Legislator
that will distress you I know it will, be
cause you cannot disguise from me the fact
that you are no more in favor of female suf
frage really, than I am.
Something of a Climate. Dan Marble
was once strolling along the wharves in Bos
ton, when he met a tall, gaunt looking fig
ure, a "digger" from California, iind got
into conversation with him.
"Healthy climate, I suppose?"
"Healthy! it aint anything else. Why.
stranger'there you can clioo'e any climate
you like, hot or cold, and that too without
travelin' more than fifteen minutes- Jest
think o' the next nmrmn when you
get out o' hed. There's a mountain -here
the Sary Navady they call it, wiih a vahcy
on each side of if, one hot and one cold.
Well, get on the top of that mountain with
a double-barreled gun, and you can without
movin', kill either summer or winter game,
jest as you wish :
"What! have you ever tried it:
"Tried it! often: and should have done
pretty well, but for one thing." "Well,
what was that ?"
"I wanted a dog that would stand both
climates. The last dog I bad froze bis tail
off while pintin' on the summer side. He
didn't get entirely out of the the winter side,
you see true as you live."
Marble sped.
A good story is tol of a quartette club in
a town in Connecticut, who, a few evenings
since, sallied forth to serenade a newly mar
ried couple, but made a mistake in the
house and sang the most sentimental love
ditties for half an hour under the window of
an elderly bachelor, who finally arose and
thanked his unknown friends for "this un
expected honor." The songsters beat a
hasty retreat.
Pushing Ai.oxg. The Union Pacific
Railroad terminus is now at Benton, sis
hundred and ninety eight miles west of
Omaha, to w hich place the stage offices have
been transferred from Laramie. One hun
dred and twenty-two miles of stage travel
are rend re J unnecessary by this change in
the terminus.
A sub-editor announces that the editor of
the paper is unwell, and piously adds : "All
good paying subscribers are requested to
make mention of him in their prayers. The
other class need not do it, as the prayers of
the wicked availeth nothing a.-cordmg to
authority."
""Well. Kobert, how much did your pig
weigh ?" "It didn't weigh as much as I ex
pected, and 1 allers thought the darned
thing wouldn't."
In good society we are required to do
obliging things to one another; in genteel
society we are required only to say them.

AND
H'lOFLAXD S GERMAN TOXIC.
TH K OH EAT REMEDIES
For all diseases of the Liver. Stomach, or diges
tive organs.
IFoofland's German Bitters
Is composed of the pure juices (or. as they are
medioiua'ly termed, extract.,) of Roots. Herbs-and"
Harks, making a prep aration.highly concen
trated, and entirely free from alcoholic ad
mixture of any kind.
IIOOFLAXD'S GEnfjAN TONIC,
Is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters. wi;h the purest quality of SantaCruz Rum,
Orai ge. Ac . making one of the most pleasant and
agreeable remedies ever o'ercd ta the public.
Those preferring a Medicine free from Alcohol
ic admixture, will use
WHiFLAXD S GERMAN BITTERS.
Those who have no objection to the combination
of ihe Bitters, as stated, will use
iltiOFLAXD'S GERMAN TONIC.
They are both equally good, and contain the
same medicinal virtues, the choice between the
two beins; a mere matter of taste, tho Tonic being
the most palatable.
The stomach, from a variety of causes, such as
Indigestion, Dyspepsia. Nervous Debility, ete., is
very apt to have its functions deranged. The
Liver, sympathizing as closely as it does with
the Stomach, then he comes affected. the result
i'f which is that the patient suffers from several
or more of the follonini? fseses:
Constipption. Flatulence, Inward Piles, Fulnesa
of Blood to the Head. Acidity of the Stomach,
Nausea, Heartburn. Disgust for Food, Fulnesa
or Weight in the Stomach, Sour Eructations,
Siuking or Fluttering at the Pitof the Stomach,
Swimming of the Head, Hurried or Diffioo.lt
Breathing. Fluttering at the Heart, Choking or
Suffocating Sensations when in a Lying Posture,
Dimness of Vision. Dots or "IVebs before the Sight,
Dull Pain in the Head, Deficiency of Perspira
tion. Yellowness of the Skin and Eyes, Pain in
the Side, liackV'hest, Limbs, etc., Sadden flash
es of Heat, llurnijg in the Flesh, Constant im
agintngsof Evil, and great depression of Spirits.
The sufferer from :hce diseases should exercise
the greatest caution in the selection of a remedy
for his case, purchas:ng only that which he is as
sured from his inves ligations and inquiries
possesses true merit. ' is skilfully compound
ed, is free from injurious ingredidents, and has
established for itself a reputation for the eure of
these diseases. In this connnection we would

Twenty-two years since they were first intro
duced into this country from Germany, durinz
which time they have undoubtedly performed
more cures, and bene?'.ted suffering humanity to
a greater extent, than a'iy other remedies known
to the public.
vous Debility, Chron 10 Diarrhoea, Disease of
the Kidneys, and all Diseases arising from a die
ordered Liver, Stomach, or Intestines.
DEBILITY,
Resulting from any cause whatever; prostration
of the sy-tem. induced by severe labor,
hard-hips, exposure, fevers, etc
There is no medicine xtant equal to these rem
edies in such cases. A tone and vigor is imparted
to the whole system, the appetite is strengthed,
food is tnj-ived.the stomach digests promptly ,th
blood is purified, the complexion becomes sound
and healthy, the yellow tinge is eradicated from
the eyes, a bloom is given to the cheeks, and the
weik and nervous invalid becomes a strong and
healthy being.
PERSONS ADVANCED IN LIFE,
And feeling the hand cf time weighing heavily
upon them, with all its attendant ills. will find in
the use of this BITTERS, or the TONIC, an elixer
that will instil new Mfe into their veins, reslore
in a measure the energy and ardor of more youth
ful days, build up their shrunken forms, and give
h.alth and happiness to their remaining years.
NOTICE. ,
II is a well established fact that fully one-half
of the female portion of our population are sel
dom in the enjoyment of good health ; or, to
use their own expres - ' sion. '-never feel well.'1
They are languid, devoid of all energy, extreme
ly nervous, and have no appetite. To this class
of persons the LUTTEKS, or the TONIC, is espe
cially recommended.
WEAK AND DELICATE CHILDREN
Are made strong by the use of either of these
remedies. They wiil cure every case of MARAS
MUS, without fail.
Thousands of certificates have accumulated in
the hands of the proprietor, but space will allow
of the publication of but a few. Those.it will be

Dr. Jarkxon Deaf Sir: I have been frequent

garding the practice as out of my appropriate
sphere. I have in all cases declined; but
with clear proof in J-J various instances and
particularly in my own family, of the usefulness
uf Dr. Uoofland s German Bitters. I depart for
once from my usual course, to express my foil
conviction that, for petieral drUlitf of tht ytem,
