My friend, here’s-a secret
By which yot; may thrive ;
I am fifty ye'ari Old ' '
And my wine’s forty-five—
A queen among beauties,
The wedding'guests said,
When we went to the‘chnrch
With the priest, and we‘re wed.
That’s thirty long years past; '
And I can avow,
She was no more a beauty
To me, then, than nowi
For never the south of a
Petulant frown
Has plowed with its furrows
Her young roses down.
And still, like} girl, when
Hsr praises I speak,
Her heart fairly blushes _» , ,
Itself through her cheek, ~
Her smile is more tender
For being less bright;
And the little bit powder ,
That makes her hair wh‘,
And all the soft patience
' That shows through her face,
In my eyes, are any
Like grace n’pon grace.
For still we are lovers,
As I am ,alive,'g
Though I, sir, am‘fifty,
And she’s flirty-five!
And here’s half the secret

And here's the full secret

I kept her a sweetheart, .

DOLLY’S SACRIFICE.
BY AUGUSTA LARNED.
“I do hate turning old clothes i” exclaimed
Dolly, giving a, jerk to the breadth she was
ripping from her' best summer. gown. “ If
I was able, I’d juSt make a bonfire of all my
old things, and get a new shit throughout."
“ Law, I ain’t a. mite like that,” returned
Aunt Lois, sm'Oo'tbingout the folds of her
apron. “Thingsffdon’t seem natural to me
till I’ve worn. th‘gm for a good While; and
as for a shoe, I’d-"rather have my old Slips,
all marked round the toes and run down at
the heels: and.‘so easy‘ they’ll almost scufi'
along of' themselves, than the best new pair
you could give me out‘of the store.” '
“ But I suppose you did, like new clothes
once,” replied .Dolly, i1 little larlly, as with
Aunt Lois’s help she 'slil'ted off a long piece
of braid, and set a cloud of dust afloat.
“ Pugh l" exclaimed Aunt Lois. “ Well,
folks say we must eat our peek of dirt some
time or other. Like new clothes when I
was young, did you say 1’ .Ig‘uess I did. I
was the dressiest girl that went into Falham
meeting-house and Itw‘isn Icould recollect
the number of dancing-slippers I had that
year I was going o‘n’eighteen.”
“ I wouldn’t ask forrdaucing-slippers,” re-
turned Dolly, a little,:bitterly; “ifI cohld
get comfortable thingé‘. Father never seems
to think that we women folks have any need
of money. We do as much in the house in
our way as the men do outside; but it never
seems toramount‘to anything. I Wish men
folks could some way learn to respect a wo-
man’s work. I don’t mean to shirl‘J’m sure ;
but I should like to have What I do appre-
ciate. And here is mother, who hasn’t had
a. new thing since the year one, and her old
Leghorn bonu'et looks as antiqmied as the
hills.”
Dolly Spoke with a good deal of feeling,
cheek and the positive lines of her pfetty
mouth that she wash energetic and some-
what independent litile character.
The business of getting the week’s baking
out of the way had devolved upon the morn-
ing hours. Mrs. Maxwell,'Dolly’S mother,
had been stirring about on her feet until
late in the afternoon;. and now, having
tidied up a bit and put on a clean cap, she
was seated in her big rocking-chair, with
her Spectacles on her nose, and the one
weekly newspaper that came to the farm-
house from Bambridge in her hand. The
somnolent effect of a long day’s work had.
almost overcome the good woman’s con-
sciousness; the paper had fallen into her
lap, and the glasses were just tumbling from
the end of her nose, when Dolly’s last words
came to her drowsy ears.
“ Law, child, it don’t matter what I wear,”
said she. “My market is made, and I'can’t
bear to hector your father for money. It
comes like drawing teeth ;'for we’ve just
managed to get the mortgage paid off, and
now he wants to Stock the farm. He ain’t
astingy man by nature and by and by
times’ll be easier. Never mind, Dolly, you
shall have some spring clothes, for all that.
I haye got a. pretty penny saved up from
selliri’g chickens and eggs; and the next
timerfather goes to Bambridge with the
ieam‘you shall go along, and choose your-
self a new dress and the prettiest hat you
can fine »I planned it out long ago, and
nearly every day I count over my money,
and think what you can buy with it.” ,
“0, mother,” cried Dolly, jumping up and
running to her, “ how good you are 1” And
she put her arms roundihe excellent wo-
man’s neck and squeezed her tight. “But
when you sadly need a. . dress yourself. I
have got tired to death seeing you wear that
old ghombizet. It. has been turned and
twisted now for five years, until it’s as rusty
as the ground.”
“ Never mind, child,” resumed Mrs. Max-
well. “I am old and wrinkled and sallow,
and folks don’t look at me or notice. what I
have on. I am satisfied if I can just slip .
alOng and appear respectable; but, of course,
it’s very different with a. young thing like
you.” _ ’ '
Dolly Was aware of . the truth of her'
mother’s words. Shecould not.help know-
ing that she was a pretty girl, and" that
people looked adiniringly at her may face;
audit was natural for littleDollv' to love
new, .uet‘ah things-,9: it was to breathe. Now
she bundled together her old rusty alpaca
skirt, that fwas dreadfully faded between the
went'aboutto, get- tea. The kettle was singl
ing onéhe kitchen-stove, and Dolly’s heart
sang too, and her tripping feet kept time to
musiclihat- nobody .heard but herself; for
.therewerepleasant prospects in, store, and
it did ‘not take much to make Dolly happy.
“. How much that child’s vars. milks: .m'e
think of sister‘L'Jane .that died,’-’.- said Aunt-5
Lois, sinking her'voice and looking over‘ihe
top of hergliisses at Dolly’s mother. " “J tine,
» was-h "gt-eat’t‘tanuno laugh, and She was) 015‘
awayspriékidg, round. Father couldn’tzbeai'
.died he was ,dréadfully‘cut dow'n. I never
knew him to forgetto wind the 'clock till
that night, and then he let it run down.”
“ YeS;I think Jane would have favored
Dolly if she had lived,” replied the mother,
”going'back in her memory 'to ilie‘old béme,
and the'one bright, girlish figure a orig the
group: of-sisrerslhat had never gr'éwing'ray
‘in the farm-house kitchen with a
it seems selfish in me to take the money you .
have had such hard work to scrape together, -
she glanced through the door at Dolly as if
there hadn’t been another Daily in the world.
The little maiden opened the oven-door
every now and then to examine a pan of
biscuits she had set baking, and let out hp-
petizing puifs of fragrance. “ We might
have some honey to-night for a treat, mightn‘t
we,.m0ther ?” she called out. . .
“ Yes; and don’t forget to put the dish of:
cold beans by your father’s plate. He likes
a, bite at something hearty after a hard
day’s work.” ,., ._ . _ »
- At that, moment the father’s step was
heard on the scraper. He came in with the
hired man and his son Luke; and, after di-
vesting himself of his coat, gave his head
and face a sound washing at the sink, and
then polished off on the crash roller-towel.
Mr. Maxwell “,was a stocky, thick-set man,
with a square, solid face, a {flige of beard
, about his chin,-an_d a. pair of- shrewd gray
eyes that couldiWinkle with dry fun under
his bushy eyebrows.
The, farmer’s family was seated now at
(lie supper-table, which Dolly- had set in
cleauiwholesome ifaShion, with the piping
hot bisciiiis and honey, clear as amber, and
the mere-homely baked dish of beans. The
slow hand Of the old clock in the corner,
where it had stood forfiily years, was point-
ing to Six; and yet a. warm ray of sunlight
stole in andiouchcd Dolly’s geranium, that
was beginning to feel the influence of spring,
and turned the brown of the young girls
hair into golden ripples. "-“
“ How much longer the days are grow-
ing!" remarked Aunt'Lois, as she took of
her specs and wiped them on her apron,“
after asking a blessing. She and Mrs. Max-
well were professors,” as they say; butihe
farmer had neverjoined the church, although
he held religion in great respect, and had
the very best reputation; among his neigh-
bors for honesty and fair;dealing. . '
The last red ray of spring sunshine seemed
to kiss the ground around the homely board
warm
goodnight. '
“I guess I shall go to Bambridge io-mor-
row, Hefty," Said the farmer, addressing his
wife, and lifting at the same time a large
portion 'of cold beans on the end of his
knife. “ You’ll have to give me an early
start; It’s a long pull for a team, and the
rats in the road ain’t" wore doWn yet. I
shall have a big load coming back, and can’t
drive much oif a walk.”
Dolly had looked up, with a bright flash”
on her face, as her father began speaking;
but it Was clouded over by the last sentence.
“ What be you going in, Samwell ?” in-
quired Aunt Lois, puffing out a gentle feeler.
“ O, I shall take the lumber wagon.
There’ll be a cultivator to bring back and
some bags of grain.”
“ Couldn’t you manage to let Dolly go
along?” inquired, Mrs. Maxwell, as She
poured a ‘cup of tea and measured out dis-
creetly the light brown Muscovado.
“ What has Dolly got to take her to Bam-
bridge ?” he replied, looking up hastily from
his plate. Mr. Maxwell was an excellent
man; but he had very old-fashioned, ortho-
dox notions about his women folks. It did
not often occur to him that they needed
much change or recreation. .
“ There's a little trading to do; father,”
said the wife ,coaxingly. “ And you know
it would please Dolly to go and see the
sights.”
“ If you’ll wait till next week, Dolly,”
put in Luke, “ When we finish laying that
piece of stone well; down by the creek, I’ll
take you over myself some day in the buggy."
“ Oh, I heard you ask Lizzy Mayhew to
go, at singing School,” returned Dolly, with
a little mischievous twinkle in her eye;
“ and I am afraid three would be a Crowd.”
Luke colored up to where the brim of his
but had kept his forehead white and un-'
tanned, and the hired man coughed behind
his hand. , ”
. “ It beats all how the women folks gatl
about nowadays,” said the farmer, as if he
had been turning the subject over in his
mind with a sort Of' mild surprise. “ In
mother’s time they were content to stay at
home, and ’ieud to the house-work.”
It always riled Mrs. Maxwell 0. little to
have any pointed allusion made to the per-
fections of her mother-in-laW—a thilpg Mr.
Maxwellwas very: fond of doing. '
“ I guess the old lady went from home as
much as anybody,” said she. speaking up.
“ I’ve heard her tell, time aifl time again,
how she used to mount on a pillion behind
grandfather, and ride ofl‘ avisiting, while
she left the house to take care of itself.”
“Well, said Dolly, with}; sigh of disap-
pointment, “I suppose I shall have to give
up my trip to Bambridge for this time.”
“ I don’t see no kind 0‘ use on’t,” returned
Mr. Maxwell, as he helped himself to another
installment of beans; “ but if you’ve got
your heart sot,*I s’pose you must go. We
may be into the night getting back; and in
some places I shouldn’t wonder if you had
to walk up bill, for the road pitch-poles a
good deal of the way.”
“ O, I shan’t mind that the least bit,” re-
plied Dolly; and she went singing and skip-
ping aboui the room, as she wiped the tea-
disbes and put them away in the corner
cupboard.
The next morning the family breakfasted
by candle-light. Luke and the hired man
had gone to tackle the horses. Mr. Maxwell
stood before the little square of looking-glass
that hung over the mantelpiece, buckling
his high satin stock. Dolly had pinned on
her plaid blanket shawl, for the morning
was chill and raw, had tied down her old,
shabby winter bonnet over her ears,and put
her fingers into a pair of cotton gloves,
which would have to be tucked under the
shawl, for an hour or two, to keep them
from aching. - . ‘
“ Here’s a hot brjck' for your feet,” said
Aunt Lois, who was always trying to make
people Comfortable, “ and a. little bite of
something to eat.”
Mrs. Maxwell, as she tucked a roll of bills
into Dolly’s glove, whispered in her ear:
“ Don’t forget to buy some little notion for
Auntie;_‘ You-know she thinks so much of
being remembered.”
Dolly squeezed her mother’s hand grate-
\
fully in retqgn '; and then she ran and clams
bered up the side of the big lumber wagon.
and got a snug seat on the buffalo robe by
her father’s side. '
“ You had better drop into Newcombe’s
store, where Henry Galpin is, just for old
acquaintance sake," called out Mrs. Max-
well after them,_as she stood in the doorway,
shading her face with her hand.
Dolly blushed a little as_she turned round
and nodded back in response ;' and then Mr.
Maxwell-cracked his whip and they were
off. The air was chilly yet with the night
damp; but the sun had risen cheerfully Over
the brown fields, where the grasslwas tuftr
ing green in the warm cornersof the fences,
and thetrees Were ' budding overhead, and“
- . bluebirds and robins were Singing and build-
ing among theinbranchcs. , . _

that he had brought Dolly along. LIt‘wa's

none of them but. Henry.”
“ I shOuld like to stop at Newcombc’s
store, where. Henry is clerking it,” returned
Dolly, with the pretty blush fluttering into
her check again. “ It would look neighbor-
ly; and he might be willing to sell to his
folks.” '
“ Hank is a good fellow,” said the farmer,
evasively, as it struck him that Dolly was
edging round‘towarda request for money.
“ He don’t stifl‘en up as some of them whip-
per-snappers do whenihey git intoa village,
and wear siarclied bosoms every day. I am
glad to see him get along; and they say
Newcombe means to take him into partner-
ship. ch, w'e’ll stop at the store, I should
like to see Newcombewund ask him about
your Uncle Eben’s folks. He’s gota branch

pretty regular. If things ‘go -sliCk after
planting is over, I mean to take your. moth-
er up to Eben’s for a visit. '1 hain’t said

stop and “stay over night at your cousih'
Nancy’s ;, and we can take a bag of horse-
feed under the buggy-seat, to save tavern
bills. It will be a treat to your mother;
and I guess you and Lois and the boys can
manage things at home while we are gone.”
“Yes, indeed,” cried Dolly, with enthusié
asm. “I would give anything to have mother
take thefirip.” . And their she fell to thinking
that, if her mother was. going up to Uncle
Eben’s on ,a visit, where there were dressy,
smart people, she ought to have some new
clothes. Her old ones were too Shabby to
look decent anywhere away from home.
Dolly grew very sober all of a sudden, and
before she woke up from her brown study
the lumber wagon - was rumbling along
through the main street of Bambridge.
There were crost of nicely-dressed people
m0ving about, and a long String of country
teams were fastened before the show.
Mr. MaxWell drove directly, to New-
lcombe’s, the Smartest store in town, with
the doorway festooned- with cheap goods,
and the window in quite a. glow of spring
silks. When she got in amongthe fashion-
able town ladies, who had’ turned outin full
force to examine the spring stock, and were
buzzing about like bees, Dolly, for the first
time, felt ashamed of her dingy blanket-
shawl. She moved along qtiite modestly
until she spied Harry Galpin behind. the
counter, showing a piece of checked silk to
a couple of showily~dressed girls, who were
laughing and Chattering like magpies. He
did not see Dolly at first; and she was be-
ginning to feel a little grieved and hurt,
when he came and held out his hands to
her, in the frank, genial way that always
won everybody’s good will, and made 'him
the most pOpular salesman in town.
“Why, Dolly l” said he, “ it was tip-top
of you to come down and see an old friend
to-day. How are all the folks at home ?”
“ All well,” said Dolly, the smiles peeping
out of her face, as Harry still held on to the
little glove. And she noticed that the young
ladies at the counter he had so unceremo-
niously left were beginning to stare at her
rather coolly. Harry excused himself, and
called another clerk to take his place.
“ Now, what can I show you, Dolly?”
said be, after chatting for a. moment or two.
“ I shouldlike to see some of your pretty
thin goods—just to look at them, you know
for‘I can’t buy much.” .
”“ Much or little, you’ll have the best we
can offer, Dolly,” and he led the way to a
tempting counter, where there were light
stuffs of blue and pink and purple, spread
out in a perfect rainbow.
“Here is something that looks just like
you, Dolly.” said be, taking up a. piece .of
sky-blue barege, and disposing it skilfully
in folds over a breadth of while muslin.”
It makes me think of some flower or other
—hearisease, isn’t it ‘2”
Dolly fingered the stuff, and looked at it
lovingly, with a perplexed little screw in
her rosy face. It was plain to see that she
was sorely tempted. “ What price did you
say ?” She inquired.
“ We have been selling it at six shillings
a yard and we thought it dirt cheap. But
you shall have the goods, Dolly, for seventy
cents.”
“No,” said Dolly, after she reckoned up
in her mind, and forming a sudden ‘and
strong resolution as She heroically relin-
quished a fold of the pretty stuff which she
had been fondling in her little fingers. ' “ I
can't take it. Mother is going away on a‘
journey, and she needs a dress more than I
do. She gave me the money to Spend for
myself; .but I think it would be wrong to do
so, don’t yau ?” she asked, raising her inno-
cent cyes in Harry’s face.
“ I’m sure I don’t know about that,” re-
plied Harry, whittling a pencil, andlooking
down. I Shall always like you in anything
you happen to have on."
“ I know it would be mean and selfish,”
said Dolly, very decidedly, not choosing to
take any notice of the latter part of Harry’s
speech, and atlhe same time turning her
positive little back on the counter.
“ So poor blue must go a begging,” putin
Harry. ‘
“ Yes ; and you will please Show me some
plain gray stuff, that will do for an elderly
woman, like mother.” -
“ Not in the least gay and festive,” re-
marked Harry. , - ' . ;
Dolly looked back, and gave him __a bright
smile. It ended by her selecting (a Silvery
mozambique, sufficiently quiet and subdued
to pleasc'MI‘s. Maxwell; and then ~she ran
across the street to Miss Frisbee’s. millinery
shop, with the Windowj-gay With artificial
flowers and new shapes and bright ribbons.
This time she didnot even look at anything
.for herself; but her eye fell‘ou a nice white
Dunsiable straw,_trimmed with ' lavender,
wiihapure quiiling around the face. It
kicked. exactly like Mrs,‘ Maxwell; and,
when Dolly had waited to have the rose-
budgtaken out of the racks, and some mod‘
est greenleaves put in instead, she paid for
the' bonnet, and saw it dofie‘up in a snug,
parcel. Miss Frisbee, who was both by na~
lore and art insinuating, could not indujm
her to put on one of the pretty new rs“ up six
“ No,” said Dolly, vefyy‘positively.“j I'
will send down my old straw, by apd‘iiy,
and have it pressed over. I shall'make last
summer’s ribbons answer, and trim it my-
self." Dolly had conquered her girlish
vanity very nobly; and now there was jtist
money enough loft in her pu'i'se to bpy Aunt
Lois a comfortable pair bi gloves; and a
pretty purple cap-ribbon. , . , , , .
“My stars i” exclaim er'. ,Maxwell, as
late in the afternoon, Dolly, ca‘me tripping
over to the farm wagon, Withher arms full

" Look here, Dolly,” said Harry Gulpin, ‘as
he came out of the store-door, without his
hat. “Here is a parcel you have forgo’tten.”
And he, held toivard her a nicely-wrapped
package. .
‘.‘ Youmust be mistaken,” returned Dolly.
“ I counted over all my bundles before! left

folks are particular about getting all we’re
entitled to.” '
“ I Shall be sorry if you are not satisfied,”
returned Henry evasivcly, and ‘lhen they
shook hands and parted. '
Dolly, riding home underlhe clear star"
light, wrapped in her old blanket-shawl,
and was happy as a queen. She had fin-
gered and felt of the parcel that Henry gave
her, as it lay in her lap, until she was con-
vinced that it did not contain linings, and
there was' a very queer, pleasant flutter go-
ing on about her heart. ‘
" You shan’t see any of my bargains till
morning,” cried Dolly, as she skipped into
the house, carrying with hera quantity Of
fresh air and Cheerfulness. So the things
were all packed off _to her own little cham-
be‘r‘in‘Dolly’s‘u‘rms'; and she shut andl'bUt-
toned the door. And then she untied the
string of Harry’s bundle, and out tumbled
a blue, barcge dress and a little white note.
”Dolly hugged them both rapturousl‘y, ahd
then she caperetl about the room. Of course,
she meant to tell her mother all about it, but
not quite yet ; and so the precious secret was
locked away in her bureau-drawer.
The next morning Dolly laid the shim-'
mery mozambique and the neat Dunstable
straw bonnet out on the patch-work quilt of
her bed. And then she called up her mother
and Aunt Lois;
. “ Why.” said Mrs. Maxwell, examining
the goods critically, “ this stuff is too sober
and old-looking for you, Dolly.”
“ Of course it is,” replied Dolly, her face
puckering with saucy triumph ; “ but it is
just the thing for the person who is going
to wear it, and that is Mother Maxwell.”
“ 0, Dolly! how ' could you do Such a
thing ?” cried Mrs. Maxwell, turning pway
her head While the tears came rushing into
her eyes. _ _ '
" You thought you were going to make
all the sacrifices yourself, didn’t you, moth-
er,” exclaimed Dolly, putting her arms round
her. “ You thought Imeant to trick myself
off in fine feathers, and let my mother go
shabby. It isn’t a good Sign for a girl to
look finer than her mother; and I won’t
have it. I’ve made up my mind that you’re
not to disgrace the family any longer by
your old clothes; so take off your waist,
dear, for I’ve’ gOt the patterns all ready, and '
am just aching to put my scissors into that
flies siuil‘." '
Dolly had seen her father and mother
drive off in the buggy, with a little trunk
strapped on behind: Mrs._Maxwell looked
as neat as hands could make her in her new
bonnet and gown. It was J one now, and
Dolly was sitting in her little rocking-chair
on the porch, under the rose-vine, with birds
and butterflies flitting about. She had
brought down her work, the blue barege
skirt, and it had fallen into her lap, while
She looked lip through the leaves, decked
with sunlight, when Harry Galpin’ rode to
the gate, and, alighting from his horse,
walked through the flower-bordered path,
sweet with Old-fashioned scents—southern-
wood, lavender, and carnations.
Dolly started as his shadow fell across the
light. “ Oh, Harry is that you ?” And then
their eyes mutually fell on the blue dress,
and they both laughed and blushed. -
All that transpired during Harry’s visit it
is needless to relate. When Aunt Lois came
back from working over the butter in the
milk-room,'there was a very pretty tableau
on the porch, and Harry was saying:
“I always liked you, Dolly. better than
any other girl; but perhaps I never should
have fallen head over ears in love with you,
if it hadn’t been for that day in'ihe store,
when I saw you could sacrifice your fond-
ness for dress to something better." _
Dolly’s Shy little fingers were trembling
in Harry’s hand; and as Aunt Lois’s carpet-
slippers made but little nOise, and the young
people were too much absorbed to hear her
approach, the dear old lady Slipped away,
and left only the birds to listen.

You are just entering upon the discharge

of you will vote for the first time this spring.
We assume that you are sincerely desirous
to discharge these duties, rightly, or, to put
it in other words, that you love your c'Ountry
and are eager to serve her at the polls, as
you would he, should occasion demand, to
serve her in the field. Certainly, ifany one

zenship in a free country. Keep it in mind,
young freemen, that privilege implies obli-
gallon: that the possession of power in-
volves responsibility. You have no right to
vote ignorantly or thoughtlessly. You have
no right to let your political opinions be de-
termined by those of your families, or neigh-
bors, or employers. You owe it to your
country to know what you are about; to
think and read and deCide for yourselves.
‘ ‘ YOu find two great parties in the rephblic,
between which you must choose, if your
votes are not to be thrown away. One is
the republican; and the other calls itself,
and is called by courtesy, the democratic.
What you have to do is to soberly and can-
ditlly sift the claims put forward by these
parties, and settle in your own minds which
of the two makes out the better case.
The former is the offspring of the awaken-
edyonscience of the nation. When its ene-
mies sneer at it as a party of moral ideas,
they unconsciously bear witness to its true
character, and pay it the highest compliment
that a political organization-ever received.
Its creed at the outset was that of Thomas
Jefferson; a profound belief in the immuta-
ble justice of God and in the inalienable".
rights of man. What the democrats called
the “ glittering generalities” of the Declara-
tion, it conceived to be vital truths, and it
undertook to square our every-day politics
with them. The flag of human rights was
thrown to the breeze. The sight of it sent
a mighty thrill from one end of these free
northern statss‘to the other. Gray-headed
philanthropists and reformers greeted it
with tearful acclamations; the christian
masses who could not find it in their Bibles
a divine'sandiion for human slavery, rallied
around it ; the generous youth hastened with
noble enthusiasm to range themselves, shoui- '
tier to shoulder, under its bright folds. The
siaveholding oligarcby which had so long
ruled the democratic party, and through it
the country, took fright and flew to arms.
But e contest was too unequal. There
could be but one issue of it. Honest Abi-a- '
ham Lincoln went to the White House. The
grand battle for the Union was fought and
won. The “ mudsils” of the north Struck.
the shackles from their fellow workingreen
of the south. The great principles 'of equal
rights and impariail justice were introduced
into the fundamental law. But when all
this hacl‘ been accomplished, the republican
party, found that much yet remained to be
done, make these principles living verifies
in every township of the Union; to heal the
ugly scars left by civil strife; to build up
anew the national prosperity; to keep im-
maculate the national honor, and to push
forward all useful reforms :--this is now the
mission of the republican party. To-day
this party is what it was on the first day of
its existence; the party of humanity, of lib-
eral ideas, of progress, of the future.
The democratic party is the opposite of all
this. it is the party of the past, always
wailing over accomplished events and vain-
ly regretting the “ good old days” of slavery
and oppression; It iS the party of immoral
ideas. It has no adequateconception of die
dignity of human nature; no regard for the
enlightened sentiment of the civilized world.
It has been all alOng the partyof ignorance,
of violence, of disloyalty. To

popularity by lessening taxation, it was

Which of these parties is the one for a
young man to join? Will it pay him to

actionisis? Will it be good policy? We

‘~ Answer, on not VOTING.”
William H. Barnum’s name appears under
this head in a large proportion of the votes
taken in Congress,—we believe it is close
upon one-half We are no supporters of hid
politics, and h- political reasons do not
mourn his chronic absence from the House
of Representatives. But it is very plain to
everybody that Rhat _is no way to do busi-
ness. This District Should have a faithful
man in Washington during the sessions of
Congress, nOt only to act and vote intelli-
gently on every point that comes before the
House, but to attend to the interests at his
constituents before Committees and the. va-
rious Departments. John H. Hubbard did
this faithfully, and so did Geo. C. Woodrufi‘.
William -H. Barnum has not done it and
will not do it, how many times soever he
may be sent to the House of Representatives.
He carries on an extensive business as iron
manufacturer, and is President of the Con-
neclicut Western Railroad. The former is
enough to occupy his attention; and even
if it were not, the latter certainly is. It is
a new enterprise that demands constant
watching and careful attention. Every bill
that is paid, from the fee that is paid far the
recording of a deed to that of the largest
contractor, must go thrbugh his hands and
his approval. The public cheerfully con-
Cede Mr...l,3arnum’s ability as a. business
manager, and the people of the towtns'lalong
