From the Golden Rule.
The Woman who Planned.
A cusnacrnresri ETCH
BY W. 11. MERRILL.
Fate decreed that she "should be a woman,
and so she was not a general. But if things
had deen different she. would have bad a
career in a larger field than her own house-
hold and its quiet neighborhood. The little
but potential if that stands between the
most of us and some great fame or greater
good, fox-ha h- lIIut a sword should ever dan-
gle from her dainty waist; that the twin
stars should shine on her plump shoulders ;
or that spurs should tinkle on her pretty
hecls,—except metaphoricilly. The higher
right of a woman not to be a soldier, and the
prejudices of society, kept her in the patl s
of peace. Iler genius for generalsbip was
hidden in her household, as completely as
was Grant’s in his tan-yard before the war
came. For genius that cannot find its nat-
ural channel does not always make another.
A good many bright candles are hidden
under bushes that would throw their little
beams clear and far from a light-house.
Think of the female orators, for example,
whose efforts are confined to an audience of
one; before whom the only curtain that ever
arises is the one that surrounds the bed, and
whose’eloqucnce elicits no response but a
snore,—a simulated snore at that; and noth-
ing can be more discouraging to the genius
of oratory, struggling against its environment
than a make-believe snore in the midst of a
Candle lecture.
If the misplaced people on earth could on-
ly be wright. this ,axneriuént. ataworld
wouldn’t be half so much of a failure.
But if Mrs. Marlowe couldn’t command
men in the mass, she could in detail. Talk
about the magnetism of Napoleon or “Little
Mac!"—you should have felt hers! She
would talk a man out of liking peaches and
cream, and make him gorge himself on dish-.
es that he didn't in the least want just be—
cause she cooked them and insisted that they
were good. Her influence was not of the
subtle sort that goes with beauty, but was
direct, strong and palpable,——the result of
will rather than of heart, of character more
than of sex. Not that she was destitute of
charms; no woman is, thank heaven, for
somebody; but she did net‘dependcn them, '
Your charm is an uncertaidthing, and if it
be outward only, will surely fade and fall;
but the way of sucha woman knowsnbthing
of time, and'youi' ~s'uperiOr to circumstances
as the chess player is to his pawns.
Still, she was pleasing to look upon, with
. her sunny eyes ofblue ; her rippling hairof
flossy gold,‘that' never knew a crimping pin
nor felt the'indignity of a hot slate pencil;
her smiling menthand firm, strong chin ‘;_'
her well-nourished; and graceful} figure.
When young, she justified the discriminating
remark, that there is nothing so pretty as a
pretty girl, even if she'isn’t very pretty,—
unless it be a prettier one!
She was sympathetic, as she ripened, in a
high, fine way,—not simply from her heart
(that comes by natural but intellectually, and
as the result of her carefully-cultured cap—
abilities. :She would put herself in tune
with you, whatever your mood, or bring
you to her key, as the harmony demanded.
The discords in life caused by people who
either stupidly or selflsth insist on playing
to their own pitch, without regard to the or-
orchestra or the listners. are of all things the
most exasperating.
Mrs. Marlowe was the center of her cir-
cumference, wherever she was placed. Pee.
pie and events revolved around her in an
orbit that she marked out, and with a motion
that she controlled. Her husband—when
she was ready to have one—became her
satellite; not in any uncomfortable or dis-
creditable way, but quite naturally, and in a
manner that he accepted dutifully.
Her method of taking a husband was
thoroughly characteristic—which is an inci-
dent worthy of mention, inasmuch as the
decisive “Yes-es" that are murmured, look-
ed, and taken for granted in the world of
wooing, have about the same uniformity as
the cooing of a cote of doves. But Francis
Fullerton had ideas of her own about such
matters; and when she decided that it would
be agreeable for her to become Mrs. James
Marlowe she didn’t fold her hands, look
pretty, and wait. That wasn’t her way.
She had been “spinner” from her infancy
with a fertility of invention anda skill in ex-
ecution that won the admiration or incited
the mirth of all observers.
“Dear me 1” her wearied mother would
exclaim, when awakened in the night by a
call from the little one carried in every tone
the expression of a positive want and a cer-
tainty of victory—“I do believe that baby
plans when to be hungry, and how to wake
up!"
As she grew older, she would plan her
doll’s development in dress six months ahead,
and arrange little parties for her mates from
May day clear to Christmas. She knew bet-
ter than her mother did when she should
put on long dresses, and begin to go into
society. At school the course of study,
which looked so much like a slice out of
eternity to the other girls, did not inflthe
least appal :her. She looked through it_as
through a telescOpe, and saw, way beyOnd,
courses of reading and plans of culture. . Her
high standing in the graduating class’Was of
course confidently-marked out; but she re-,
ceived her first serious lesson as to the un—
certainty of human calculations from the
fact, that another girl persisted in being a
better scholar. _
The greatest failures in life result from
leaving out of our calculations, the Eternal
Verities ; but the most common ones come
from ignoring other people.
The valedictory was read, by the other girl
and Francis flounced home in disgust.
But when she decided, soon afterwards, to
marry, it was simply a question between
herself and one man. Young Marlowe ad«
mired her excessively, she was so strong and
bright. He was handsome, amiable and true
hearted. but “not overstocked in his upper
story,“ as :the plain spoken mother of
Frances put it. But the easy-going father
only smiled, and said: “The girldoesn’t need
to marry brains, she has enough for one
family."
What a delightful sort of egotism, it is,
when we can “celebrate ourselves," in our
children.
James, however, was very slow in screw-
ing his courage to the asking place. He had
not that supremely selfish feeling expressed
in the song: “Ever to woo and never to wed,
is the merriest life that ever was led,” but
he was rather abashed in the presence of the
splendid girl Who was so much more clever
than he, and who had to the fullest extent
that element ~ of character which is far
greater than self—control, namely, self-pos-
session. Every bit of feeling, of wit, of
knowledge, of experience, that she had, was
hers to command; and she could put it, at
amoment‘s notice, where it would do the
most good.
Finding that James was likely to run on.
like the poet's brook, forever, with its
punctual calls and excessive talent for sitting
up—his inevitable invitations and unwearied
but sometimes wearisome attentions—his
coy love making and provoking silence when
she had frankly shown him that it would not
displease her to hear him speak—the resolute
girl's nature and habit asserted themselves. '
She made a plan. ,
A Nevv'England meeting could no more
assemble without appointing a committee
and'adopting resolutions, thanjFrances could
face an emergencywhatsover without evolv-
ing aplan. And they “went off” with the
regularity, if not always with the success, of
an alarm clock.
The very‘next night as they returned from
walk in the soft splendor of the September
moonlight, Frances stopped at the door and
instead of inviting the backward lover in, as
wits her wons, she turned her calm face
toward him, and said quietly :
.'“James, I am afraid I shall have to ask
you not to come here so much."
:The poor fellow felt, as he afterward ex-
pressed it, as though a pitcher of cold water
had been poured down his ' back.
"Not—come—sojmuch i’” he faltered, open-
eyed.
“Y€S."—-placing the white hands, with
just the hint of a tremble in them, on his
arms. “You have been coming very often,
for a longwhile, and all the other gentlemen
stay away.—as if it were your right, you
know. And things can't go on so forever.
I_"
“But bless, you, Fanny dear, I can't stop!
Make it my right to comel I supposed you
knew that Iloved you'and want you,-—-”_
How many things you dear great blunder-
ing mun take for granted l" she said, convey-
ing her forgiveness in a kiss.
Language failing him,——as it usually dOes
fail people at such times, except in novels
and plays, where they ran through whole
pages when all nature and experience sug-
gest that they could be better employed,—
he executed his part of the appropriate lab—
leau, which was rehearsed regularly several
times a week until the minister came with his
little book, and the curtain fell.
Married 9. , year. One plan, at least, had
worked well; so well that the month old
baby boy, sonozing in the cradle, was enter-
ed at ccllege,—in his mother‘s mind's eye.
Of course he wouldn't go alone, the darling
little fellow ; and with both of her boys at
Harvard,and she keeping house for them near
by, over a gas stove, in cosy little chambers,
with her daughters in the Conservatory, life
would indeed be worth living.
But amid all the inventions and devices of
the age,no motor so strong,no force sopower-
ful, no influence so puissant has been devis-
ed, whereby man can hasten or retard by a
heartbeat the movement of time. Men may
hurry or lag; waste or use; accept or rebel;
—-but the hands on the dial of the skies main-
tain their everlasting and sublimely patient
regularity.
‘An so Mistress Marlowe had many years
tofill up with little pla s before she could
enter upon her great one. Her hap-hazard
husband sometimes laughed at them, but be
early learned not to thwart or oppose them.
He loved a quiet life, and§new its conditions
-j-which was beyond the wisdom of many
who passed for more knowing men,
When the “Brigadier,” as he facetiously
styled her. planned a picnic, he groaned,—
but he was discreet enough to do it inward—
ly._ .He knew what it involved: His
wife would name the day, the spot, the route
the hour to start and return, and the char-
acter cf “the spread," and pack by proxy
theflunch basket, for everybody who was to
go. It was of no avail to him to tell her it
would rain—as it generally did; that some
other party would have the boats; that the
pickles would be forgotten, the jam leak out
upon the sandwiches, the dishes get broken,
and the train be late. Such things almost
always happened, and 'yet she had the
pleasure of laying out “a beautiful time,”
and would sit on the stile and continue to
smile amid the ruins of her plans, with a
sweet serenity that an excursion into the
Happy Land could hardly have improved
upon.
“Wher‘eshall we go next year, Captain '1’”
her husband would inquire, upon such occa-
sions, with his most aggravating martyr like
air, as they sat waiting for a let up in the
shower.
“Nowhere—if we wait for you to move,
ducky,” she would respond, with a good-
nature that was invincible as her courage.
“You can laugh at my planning, of course ;
but everything that goes rightly, and that is
guided by intelligence, in this world, moves
upona plan. Do you suppose God started
this world of ours, that none of _us half ap—
appreciate, without knowing whither it'was
beautiful or ugly? When I get to Heaven
of the working plan of the Architect of the
Universe.”
“I don’t doubt it i” laughed James, rue—
fully—“for my part, I shall [look'up my
friends and get a good seat at a symphony
concert !”
“Not without me l—if I have to carry my
plan under my arm. But there’ll be time
enough for everything, then. Soberly, now,
—why not make plans for a day, a month,
or a year, as well as a plan of life. The man
who starts on the journey of life bound
nowhere in particular, generally brings up
therel”
“Yes,—and if he starts for somewhere in
particular be generally doesn’t. If he takes
to the river, there is a cataract half-way
down. If he sails to sea, there are head
winds and rocks and icebergs. If he treads
the beaten path, people jostle and crowd
ahead, or he is held back by the weight on
his coat tails,”-and Mr.Marlowe‘looke'd with
an expression of mingled fondness and dis-
couragement at his growing family of child-
ren. “Man proposes and woman ‘dispo ses’ ”
laughed he, as a final conclusion—“and be-
tween us, I think they who drift get about
as much enjoyment, and make (just as good
proggess, as we do who try to navigate.
Take your places as best you can, do the
duty nearest to you. and live one day at a
time. Who ever saw to-morrow P”
“I should like to give you even your
dinners on that plan, or no-plan, for one
week only 1” said the wife, amid the laugh-
er of the company, who knew quite well
James’ fondness for a good dinner. “For
one,” she concluded, rising and preparing to
put into execution her plan for getting home,
.“I hold that it is our duty to please every—
thing to the best of ,our ability, and
do our utmost to carry it out, and leave ‘the
stars in their courses’, or other people and
things in theirs, to thwart us if it be so or-
dered. Let those ‘go it blind’ who have no
eyes to see; and let people drift who are
either to unskillful to sail or too lazy to
rowl"—and with this scattering shot she
marshalled the forlorn picnickers to the
station, and busied herself on the way home
in arranging a children’s birthday party, a
round of calls, a charity concert and the fam-
ily meals for the coming week.
Of course she came out strong on holidays
and special occasions. » A Thanksgiving
dinner was her delight. ’ Every dish of every
course, and the people who were to eat it,
where each one was to sit, and what games
they were to play to settle their dinner,—
Were all clear to her mind two months be-
forehand.
The Christmas holidays were only occa-
sions for the performance of parts already
mentally rehearsed. Anything that inter-
fered with her plans, and came in the way
of a surprise, was accorded a grudging wel-
come. Things that “happened” she had no
great opinion of, as she grew older, and her
habits became more fixed. And as a large
share of the good things of life come to us
in the way of what her husband called
“happenstances,” her philosophy had many
severe tests. To plan for pleasure only to
reap disappointment, and then to meet hap—
piness quite unexpectedly on the road, had a
tendency, she declared, to belittle one’s esti-
mate of intellect.
Sometimes it was the unsystema tic James
who was tried—as when her plans failed to
dove-tail on to his calculations, or she “car-
ried the thing too far,” as he expressed it.
On one occasion they were to move; and as
she had planned to direct the whole work of
packing up. of course—such is life l—shc
was taken sick. But her will knew no ill-
ness, and from her bed she di tated the
contents of every box and barrel, until a
terrible headache compelled her to leave to
the rest the care of the odds and ends. As
she lay moaning involuntarily. with hot com-
presses on her head, and the house was
hushed to stillness, her husband saw a slight
motion of her hands, and heard her parched
lips whisper hisname. ,Beudipgfi‘down ten-
to be round or square—solid or liquid-
the first thing I shall ask for will be a copy.
derly‘ to catch her words, and ceasing his
fanning for a moment, he heard her say:
“I—was thinking—how we could carry
the—flatirons. Couldn’t you—”
This was, too much. James rushed from
the room and sought the open air, where he
indulged himself in familiar reference to
various heathen gods and dead militsry he—
roes, including “great Cresar’s ghost,” with a
variety of emphases and gestures. Do not
judge him harshly. He was only a man.
Mrs. Marlowe’s girl was a boy—the fourth
of the series, a new but not improved edi—
tion. When he was nine years old, and her
eldest son was twenty—two. she sent a care
fully made, but very yellow and old fashion-
ed assortment of little girl’s baby clothing
down to the Children’s Home—with a sigh,
but no tears.
The first son, under the stress of her un-
impaired energy of nmnagement, went to .
college, pulled through after a fnsh on, and 5
immediately took his knowledge of Glctk E
roots and classic literature into a coal yard, '
where he made money in a manner that prov-
cd his possession of the instinct for accumu-
lation, and then used his gains in a fashion
that reflected no credit on his culture.
The second boy, impatient of study, went
from the high school fnto a newspaper of—
fice, and turned his mother’s anxious fore-,
bodings into a resignation that was so near
to joy as she ever came when a plan mis-
carried, by making a brilliant success in the
profession.
The third son, whom she had consecrated
to the ministry during a revival that occurr-
ed about the time he was born, bought a
sheep ranche in Texas; and the ease with
which he mustered the dialect of that region
affords little room to expect that he will come
any nearer fulfilling his mother’s hopes than
is involved in beingalasting subject for Home
Missionary work.
Jimmy, the youngest son, was intended for
the law, but he is just now driving a street-
car. His bent toward horses was stronger
than his mother’s ambition in the direction
of the bar.
Mrs. Marlowe came near to the end of life
without milking any plan for dying. Con-
sidering that death is the most fatefully cer-
tain thing in the world, how few people do
give any definite thought to it! But when
the inevitable change drew near her ruling
passion came to the front.
“James, dear,” she said, “you have been a
good husban dto me,and I grieve to leave you,
and take the last journey alone. But it is’nt
far, and you’ll be coming ' soon. This is
Wednesday; I shall probably die to-mcrrow.
Bury me on Sunday, from the house; no
parade, no flower show, no mourning store
or undertaker’s grief. I would like (name
ing six friends) “for bearers ; and have the
services in the north room. Get Mrs. Clarke
to stand at the door, and tell her not to let
in Mrs. Perkins, nor Miss Stebbins, nor old
Mrs. Larkins, who go to everybody’s funeral
nor Susanna Cobb, the gossip. They all
dislike me, and I- them, but they will be sure
to come snooping around when I am gone.
Half-past two is a good hour, so that you can
get home in time for tea. Now remember,
dear,——it's my last plan, you know,”—and
she smiled a poor, wan, thary smile.
She did not finally pass away until Friday
—a little to her disappointment,they thought i
but the funeral came on Sunday ; James
thought it due to her to ensure that. One of
the bearers named had the hay-fever,another
fell, on the day before, and broke .his leg,
and a third—a prominent pillar of society—
had suddenly left town on account of certain
“finaimial irregularities.”
Mrs. Clarke wag not equal to the occasion,
at the door, so that the four disagreeable
neighbors invaded the north room, took an
inventory of the contents through their fin-
gers, and went down the street together at-
terwards criticizing the dress and sniffing at
the pastor’s remarks, after the pleasing man-
ner of their kind. The procession got de-
layed, and Mr. Marlowe was an hour late to
tea.
"Dear Fanny l” he said, as he turned sadly
away from his untasted food, “she is now
living on the Perfect Plan. Thank God for
the certainties of Heaven ?”

Barnum’s nonsense about the
count in Maine—A fair estimate
and an equal chance for both
Parties.
BOSTON, Sept. 21.——Senator Blaine, who is
in this city, sent the following telegram to-
dim
To Hon. Marshall Jewell, Chairman Repub—
lican National Committee:
I left Maine on Friday last. Intelligence
reaches me here to day indicating that the
telegraphic report of votes as published by
the Associated Press is in some cases modifi-
ed by the clerk’s return as they reach the
office of the Secretary of State, where they
are open to the inspection of the public.
These modifications are of such a character
as to render the contest between Davis and
Plaisted extremely close, possibly requiring
the official returns to determine which is
elected. The official reurns cannot be count-
ed or even opened until the meeting of the
Legislature in January.
The cry of fraud in the count, as put forth
by Mr. Chairman Barnum, is sufliciently au-
swered by the fact that both parties in
Maine have recourse to precisely the some
authority for their figures; first, the tele-
grams of like Associated Press and second,
the clerks’ returns from the several towns.
towns. '
The agent of the Associated Press at Port-
land, Me., Mr. Stephen Berry, is implicitly
trusted by all parties and is incapable of
willful misstatement or evasion. His exper-
ience in summarizing election returns is as
long and as varied as that of any man in the
country. Up to this hour there is not a
particle of dispute between the parties in
Maine touching the returns from a single
town.
The only possible opportunity ‘for frauds
in election returns under our laws is in the
French plantations of Aroostook, where the
assessors sign a return expressed in a lang-
uage with which they are entirely unac—
quainted. The Democratic English-speaking
agent, who makes out' the returns, has
abudant opportunity for-misstating the facts.
I do not assert that the returns from those
plantations are fraudulent, for Ido not know
it ; but I do assert and I do know that frauds
have been committed there in past years by
Democratic agents, andI repeat that nowhere
else in Maine is fraud practicable.
The fraud of last year, was not in the
returns at all, but|consisted wholly in Gov.
Garcelon and his council rejecting returns
that were honestly and regularly made. Mr.
when he assumes that all election returns
should be at Augusta the day after election.
He forgets that Maine is larger in territory
than the other five New England States to-
gether, and that the _southwesternmost town
in Maine is nearer to anypoint in the State
of Delaware—nearer, indeed, to tbezcity of
Baltimore—than it is to the French planta—
tions on the upper SLJohn by any practical
route. In this statement I speak of actual
distance. In point of time the comparison
would be still more striking and significant:
for a man can go from Augusta to Chicago
as quickly as he can'go from Augusta to Fort
Kent.
The talk of Mr. Barnum about the Fusion-
ists of Maine being “counted’out,” is mere
rant. There is not a democrat or Green-
backer in Maine who has the slightest fear
of such a result. The late Gov." Clifford of
Massachusetts, used to boast that the Whig
‘party was the only one then in existence that
would _count itself out of power, and surren-
der to its opponents on an adverse" majority
of one vote—alluding. to the mascot Marcus
Morton as Governor. The Republicans of
Maine, when beaten in 1878, could have re-
turned power on one or two tecbinai points
in the ecunt. Those who planned the
Garcelon count-out of afiyear later. expected
the Republicans to do it, and suggested a
fear of it; but there was not a single mem-
ber of 'the party that ever harbored such a
. thought. If Gen. Plaisted shall have a sin-
gle vote more than Gov. Davis, the Execur
tive chair of Maine for the next two years is
as well assured to him asthough his majority
wastes-thousand. J1me G,'Br.4ms. -

, San Francisco Post.
The other morning, while the swell bar—
keeper at Baldwin's was putiing an extra pol-
ish on some pony glasses, a couple of strang- ,
ers entered, and, as they ordered drinks, one"
of them, a long haired, cadaverous person, in
a faded ulster, said:
1%, it’s very easily done, I assure you.”
Easy 1” exclaimed his companion, with
much animation ; “why, it is the most re—
markable—the most astonishing thing I ever
“I“: What. did you say you called it ?"
Mesmensm," said the long-haired man,
hqldlps the glass up to the light. “The
principal was discovered by a German sci-
entist named Mesmer, although it is un-
questionably identical with the animal inag-
netism known to the early Greeks. Tacitus
says :—
“But you don’t mean to say,” interrupted
the Other, who was making a formidable dem-
castration on the free Iunch,“you don't mean
to say, professor, that the person subjected to
the influence hasn’t the faintest idea of what’s
gomg on ?”
“Exactly, said the professor. “The per-
son under the influence of mesmerism has no
chair. For illustration, do you see that man
at the corner over there? He is evidently
waiting for a car—big hurry to go somewhere
_ _—and yet I could bring him into this saloon
in a perfectly unconscious state in less than
two minute s.”
“Bet you $5 you can’t do. it,” said the other
man, producing a somewhat dubious looking
“Y—a-a~s,” added the barkceper, arranging
his diamond pin in the glass, “and I'll go
him $20 better he can’t do it.”
“Well—er—hem—gentlemen, I don’t want
to rob you—and—ahem—I’m not sure I have
that much with me,” faltered the professor.
“Oh! you havn’t, eh ?” said the cocktail
mixer, winking at the bystanders who were
also fumbling out their coin. “Well, we’ll
trust you. Just fire away, and if you win you
can take the pot.”
“W ell, gentlemen, I suppose I’ll have to
try anyway,” and amid a variety of signifi-
cant winks from the gathering crowd of by-
standers, he walked to the window and began
making a series of mysterious passes in the
air, with his eyes fixed on the party at the
corner.
“Did you ever see such a blamed idiot ?”
said the barkeeper. “Looks like a Santa
Clara windmill, doesn't hollol by jove, the
feller’s coming 1"
The man on the corner slowly faced the
window, passed his hands across hiseyes ins
bewildered manner, and then began walking.
in an uncertain way cross the street. “It
will have more effect on him when he gets
closer,”_said the professor.
The man entered the saloon and stocd still
looking straight ahead with a vacant expres-
soon.
“I’ll make him ask-for a drink,” whispered
the disciple of Mesmer. “Just stand back,
gentlemen,” and sure enough, the subject
walked mechanically up to the counter, and
asked in a hollow voice for a little old rye.
“Give it to him—humor him in everything,”
whispered the professor, and the victim
solemnly swallowed the drink and-then stood
motionless as before.
“Now I’ll make him think he’s an actor,"
said the illustrator of will power, and imme—
diately the other began to strut about and re-
cite Shakespeare in a tragic voice.
“Make him bark like a dog,” suggested the
man who had bet the $5. Whereupon the
man began to imitate a terrier, and tried to
bite a spectator, to the immense amusement
of everybody. After that he was caused to
do several things such as crowing like aroos-
ter, catching a fly and pocketing-the “pool”
money, which lay on the counter.
“Make him think he keeps the bar," put
in the professor’s friend, and the subject
walked promptly around behind the counter
turned up his sleeves and compounded 1|-
cocktail, put the money in the draw and
counted out the change with great delibera-
tion. ~
“Now,” said the professor, “we will'make
him put the contents of the drawer into his
own pocket, then restore him to conscious—
ness and accuse him of having stolen the
money."
Everybody said that would be a first rate
joke, and then the $5 man thought it would
be better to let him walk outside and arrest
him in the street —-his astonishment would be
all the greater, he said.
The man solemnly cleaned out the till,
walked from behind the bar and out of the
door. As soon as he struck the pavement,
however, he darted down Powell street at a
three minute clip.
“Dear me,” shouted the professor, “I must
have been thinking about running, somehow.
Come on, Mr. Smoothly, and help us catch
him,” and the soul subduer and his friend
dashed off in pursuit.
Theyare still waiting at the Baldwin for
the return of the trio, who must have divy’d
about $5 apiece‘; and the detectives think
they are liable to wait for a long time. The
barkeeper says he wishes he may be blank
blanked to everlasting blankation.while Man-
ager Ton: Maguire, who is out $8 on the
mesmeric proposition, says he’s half a mind
to have the whole thing dramatized for the
fall season.

Err-Senator Hamilton, of Texas, who is
among the most stalwart Republicans of that
State, said recently in regard to the situation
in the South : "You of the North are the most
unseeing men in the world. You accept the
loyal professions of the Southern leaders as
genuine and made in good faith; you are
utterly dewived; not a man of them has
changed his principles. Their change is in
means and tactics alone. If by the aid of
the Northern Democrats they can secure the
control of the government and manage it
about as they would have governed the con-
federacy had they succeeded, they will be
loyal and remain in the Union. If they can-
not they will rebel again, and as old as you
are you will probably live to see it. You
and your people of the North are short-
sighted and blind in this matter to an extent ‘
that is perfectly amazing.”— Washington Ra.

Abraham Lincoln speaking at Gettysburg
in 1863, said of the Union dead : “It is for
us, the living, that we here highlyresolvethat _
these dud shall not have died in vain.”
Fitzhugh Lee, at Portsmouth, Va, in Sep—
tember, 1880, said of the rebel. dead: “If
you desire that those heroes buried yonder
shall not have died in vain, vote the Demo-
cratic ticket and vindicate the principles for
which they sacrificed their lives. " Which
advice will the North follow? Or will the
North, imitating the doughface of old. allow
the rebel view to triumph because a section:
agitation is “rubbish?"
