WHY SHOULD THERE BE A CHARGE. Mr. English does not produce a very solid array of facts in support of his argu ment against the past twenty years' ad ministration of the Republican party. In his letter he says that twenty years of continuous power is

long

already led to irregularities and corruptions which are not likely to be properly exposed under the same party that perpetrated them.

Besides, it should not be forgotten that the last iour years of power held by that party were procured by discreditable means, and held in defiance of the wishes of a majority of the people. It was a grivous wrong to* every yoter and to our system of self government, which should never be forgotten nor forgiven. Many of the men now in office were put there because of corrupt partisan services in thus defeating the fairly and legally expressed will of the majority and the hypocrisy of the professions of that party in favor of civil service reform was shown by placing such men in office and turning the whole brood of Federal office holders loose to influence the elections. The money of the people, taken out of the public treasury by these men, for services often poorly performed, or not performed at all, is being used, in vast sums, with the knowledge and presumed sanction of the tidministration, to control the elections and even the members of the cabi net are strolling about the country, mak ing partisan speeches, instead of being in their departments at Washington discharging the public duties for which they are paid by the people but with all their cleverness and ability, a discriminating public will, no doubt, read between the lines of their speeches, that their paramount hope and aim is to keep themselves, or their satellites, four years long er in office."

The people of this country do not want the mere statement of Mr. English, but they want the truth, and this is best found in the history of that party of "corrupt partisan service" which Mr. English arraigned so brazenly.

He says "twenty years of continuous power is long ennough." The question is, would a change from the prosperous administration of the present, to the party headed by Mr. English be beneficial to the people. We say no.

Burke has said that "those who cultivate the memory of our revolution, and those who are attached to the constitution of this kingdom," will take good care how they are involved with persons who, under the pretext of zeal towards the revolution and the constitution, too frequently wander from their true principles, and are ready on every occasion to depart from the firm but cautious and deliberate spirits which produced the one, and which presides in the other.

Guided by the principles that this is a Nation, and that Americans are a free people, the Republican party has managed the interests of the American people with sound policy whenever it has been in charge of the government. It has regulated the currency, managed the army, adjusted the differences of capital and labor, projected and carried out a good system of internal improvements, respected the free exercise of religion, and protected the civil and political rights of all, without regard to North, South. East or West, race, color or previous condition.

Let every member examine the political history of the country, and weigh his reading carefully, and clutch with both hands the truth, that wo may all decide for ourselves what our duty is in the coming contest.

The history of the Republican party, born as it was ander the institution of slavery, its founders believing as Madison, that "to support the Constitution, which is the cement of the Union, as well in its limitations as in its authorities, and

enough, and has

"Seven quarts, sir." "Ad—urn," said the gentleman, as he moved off.

Past and Present,

Young ladies of the present day would be rather shocked if they were obliged to endure the monotonous life of the girl of a centnry ago. She was taught to embroider, to sing, and to dance the minuet She carriwl herself upright,and sat habitually on the edge of her chair, and never leaned back. Whether she was modest at heart or not, she assumed a modest demeanor. She looked down when gentlemen spoke to her, and was shocked when they peeped under Jtter bonnet, which was really something to do in those days. She wore her dress very low in the neck, and very short in the sleeves, because it was the fashion. She always spoke respectfully to her elders, and sat in a corner nntil the gentlemen who admired her sought her out. When she danced she gave the tips of her fingers to her partner, and wnen he paid her compliments she blushed, or at least hid her/ace behind her fan. "Sensibility" was her greatest charm. "Tears of sweet sensibility forced down her cheeks," says an old-fashioned novel, speaking of its lieroine. She did not dream of accepting a suitor without first consulting "papa. When she was married she wept, and so did all the bridesmaids. The girl of to-day is taught to play the piano and to dance the glide. She stares about her, and there is no occasion to peep under her Bonnet. At present she chokes herself with scarfs and standing ruffles, and sometimes manages to give them anything but a modest efleet. She makes no secret of despising old people, and at a party goes about hunting her beaux. When she dances she tells her partner to hold tighter and not let. her fall, and she it rouged too highly to blush. When she has an offer she laughs, refnses it twice, and accepts it the third time, but does not take "pa and ma" into her confidence until the last moment—not until it is necessary for them to furnish her wedding outfit, Look upon this picture then upon that 1

'BOOK CLUBS.—Few small American towns can boast of a circulating library of any importance, and cultured men and women suffer from the want of new books, periodicals, etc., which they individually cannot buy. This want can be obviated in a measure, by a friendly combination between certain families or individuals, in which each contributes a given number of books to *a common stock these books are loaned to the members in turn. A more formal and a much better wav is the formation of a book-club, in which each member pays at the beginning a certain sum, with which as many books are pirchased as there are members, each one choosing a book: these pass in regular rotation from hand to hand, remaining afortnight with each reader thus twenty books may be read for the cost of one. When the books have passed around the circle, they are sold to members for the benefit of the club. Fines for the detention and abuse of books also keep up the funds. No officer is required in this association except a treasurer. Another advantage in the plan is that books can be bought by the quantity at lower rates than singly. The same rule applies to subscriptions for magazines, newspapers, etc. Tne excellence of' this idea will at once commend itself to the attention of book lovers.

Mark Twain says that nothing seems to please a fly so much as to be mistaken for a huckleberry, and if it can be baked in a cake and be palmed off on the unwary as a currant, it dies happy.

One thousand shingles, says a newspaper item, will cover one hundred square feet of surface. One sningle. bv the way, will cover six inches of a bad bov, and if properly applied where it will do the most good, will be productive of as much benefit and more noise than the one thousand shingles on one hundred square feet of surface. Figures won't lie.

A little bov who went to cliureh was toid to rem£lBber the text, which was: •"Why stand ye here all the day idle? Go into mv vineyard and work, and whatsoever is right., that 1 will pay thee." Johnnv came home and was asked to repeat* the text. He thought ov(*r it awhile, aiid then cried out: fWhat do vou stand round here doing nuffin' for? Go into mv barn-vard and work, and I'll make it all right with you."

Ingersoll with a lawsuit on the following points of law: "Christianity is apart of the common law of the land, ana maliciously to revile it is indictable as a libel." (Wharton's Crim. Law, 730—20 Pick, 206—4 Black. Com. 60.) "Blasphemy against God, contumacious repfoaches and profane ridicule of Christ, or the Virgin Marv, or the Holy Scriptures, are libelous offenses at the common law, whether uttered in words, writing or otherwise."

Married Men's Religion.

The doctrines of hell still trouble the prblic mind. Some people have very evidently a personal interest in having its fires put out. Others* who expect to go in another direction, are less excited. It is a curious fact that most married men have a Strong leaning toward Universfllism, the grounds of their argument being that thev are having their foil punishment in this present fife.
