LIFE'S LESSON, BY MISS MANDA LEVERING, 3 I'm learning a lesson hard, and long, Of strange and stern decree. Of shalt and shalt not; right and wrong That is written just for me. ! Why should this lesson be so hard, Of such great passing worth, - ' When I but have for my reward, . Naught, but what is—earth ? I'm learning a lesson every day ‘Which treats of toil mdc:rq. | ‘With here a little genial ray, And a disappointment there. And I with a weary heart must trace Each meaning word—each line; I dare not pause or lose my place, For the lesson strange is mine. : I’'m learning a lesson hard for me, ‘ Without a myp or blank; Althongh these rules of strange decree; Do not pertain to rank. They’re given to me, and I must learn, “Tho’ they are hard and long— Given to me by One that’s just, To tell me right from wrong. I'm learning a lesson—twenty years . I've studied the shadowy page, Damped here and there with woeful tears On the truths most stern and sage. Learniog a lesson—they call it life, | Ah! where will be the end? e Where a solemn stiliness ends the strife, Where a light and shadow blend.

The precentage of Liberal gains in Vermont, applied to the Central and Western States, would give Greeley a majority in Pennsylvania of 15,508, in Indiana of 13,379, and in New York of 64,584. The gain in Maine was much greater than jn Vermont, and the vote in the latter State is highly suggestive of Greeleys triumph-« ant election. All admit that the great bulk of the Liberal Republican strength comes from the German vote, A reference to the census of 1870 shows that there are only 508 Geerman born citizens in the State of Maine, and this would give them only about 100 voters. Now, in Indiana, the same authority shows that there are 78,060 Grerman born citizens, giving us a German voting population of about 16,000. . Will any body deny, under these circumstances, that Indiana will show a much larger Liberal Republic an vote than any of the States that have yet voted? The change in the German vote alone will be sufficient to carry the State for Hendricks and Greeley. L !

The Terre Haute Journal, the only Democratic paper in Indiana that refused to support Greeley, and anchored its hope at Louisville, now hauls down its colors in the following sensible and significant style: ' ‘ We shall make no further warfare on the Greeley ticket. If he can be elected, and the good of the country is to be subserved thereby, we shall hail the event as ,earnestly ‘as any othery person who desires good government and the safety and glory -of the coun-~ try, and who has no selfish or officeseeking interest in the result. . Democrats who read' the Journal will readily understand our meaning. We are all left adrift by the failure to have a Democratic Presidential ticket. None of us can or will support Grant. Whether or notto vote for Greeely every man must determine for himself but® our judgment should be taken carefully and consideratly in view of surrounding circuamstances. ¢

Gone Out Forcver. Like drooping, dying stars, our dearly loved ones go away from our sight: The stars of our hopes, our ambitions, our prayers, whose light ever shines before us, suddenly pale in the firmament empty, cold and dark. A mother’s steagy, soft and earnest light that beamed through wants and sorrow; a father's strong, quick light, that kept our feet from stumbling in the dark and most treacherous ways ; a sister’s light, so mild, so pure, 80 constant and so firm, thining upon us from gentle loving eyes, and persuading us to grace and goodness ; a.brother’s light, forever sleeping in our soul, and illuminating our goings and comings ; afriend’s light, true and trusty—gone out forever, No, the light has not gone out. Itis shining beyond the ‘stars where there is no darkness forever. b e

The Contrast. i The Gubernatorial canvass in Indiana this year is a remarkable one in many respects, but the most distinguished feature about it is the marked contrast between the leading men on the two tickets. None but the most reckless and unscrupulous partisans ever venture to assail the Hpri‘vate character of Mr. Hendricks, He is universally recognized as a christian gentleman of the strictest integrity. It is conceded he is a statesman of the highest order of ability. Mr. Browne, the nominee of the Radical party,on the other hand,is a man of loose and of very intemperate habits, and so strongly was his nomination opposed by temperdnce men that he was compelled to publicly pledge himself to reform when he was nominated. s These are the two men the people of Indiana are called on to choose between, in selecting a Governor., How can any man hesitate between them ? — Daviess County Democrat, : 5

- The “Tidal Wave” in Ohio. WasaineTex, D: C., Sept. 15.—The Radical boast that prominent conversions to Greeley have coased is by no means true of the West, and particularly of Ohio, where fresh accessions are reported daily. The most important of these is Frederick Hassaurek, editor of the Cin. cinnati Volksblatt, the leading German Repablican paper of Ohio. Mr. Hassaurek went into the reform movement, but was diseatiefied with the nomination of Greeley at Cincinnati, and until recently refused to support him. The pressure of German lentlmeztniln ut;l:e ‘l::'m“ tble‘e% 80 strong u the bas at las yielded'to itp::d‘ will make bis first speech for Greeley at Avondsle, 0., to morrow night. Ohioans here regerd this as indiostinf that the German vote in Oblo will be almost solid for Grecley and Brown. It is about 35,000 strong, and has hereto: fore been largely Radical in sentiment.

IT now appears that the Wheclnl:F District of West Virginia elects (Jolonel Benjamin Wilson, regulu Liberal Democrat, for Congress, by forty-eight .mjoxiz over John J. Davis, the independent te for re.election; ; ,

~'REE RESULT IN MAINE. : We judge that Maine has given the Grant ticket a majority of not quite sixteen thousand. In 1868, at the corresponding election, it gave that ticket 20,403 majority on a full vote of 131,265. All the Grant nominees for Congress appear to be re-elected— Speaker Blame coming tolerably near his old majority, aad Chandler’s son-in-law squeezing through over Pike. Neal Dow is reported as giving effective aid to the Grant candidate on temperance grounds ; and in some quarters it is quite evident that the voters subordinated National to local considerations. S s _ Five dollars have teen spent by the. Grant managers for every one they spent in 1868, and fifty for every one spent by the Liberals. The resources of a Treasury filled by taxing every civil official, at home and abroad, the influence of a Post-office Department whose head took the field to command iz person, the power of a twenty-four-bundred-mile coast dotted with Cus-tom-houses, the votes of the Kittery Navy-yard, and the resources of a political organization well-nigh perfect, coupled with a proscriptive pressure never e%na'led.. have thus fallen over 4.000 short of the majority of four years ago. : Of the difficulties and discouragements under which this result was attained we do not now need to speak. The Cincinnati movement is a revolution, and revolutions do not begin in opulations like that of Maine. It has Eeen an absurd saying, plagiarized from the old one about the Keystone State, that as Maine goes, so goes the Union. But the Union did not go a 8 Maine did in 1856, any more than in 1848. In fact, it has often been a fol« lower, not a leader of political change —a measure of the current, not - a means of starting it.. Let us useitas a measure. , ‘: We may estimate the change on the vote of Maine, wrought by the Liberal Republican movement, at about five per cent. We may be certain that in no other ?att of the Union will the change be less—in few so small. Well, five per cent, on the last Presidential vote shifts the States of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Connecticut, California, and Alabama, from the Grant column to its opposite. Add these to the States already Democratic, and we have 155 out of the 184 Electoral votes necessary to a choice. Bat Missouriis clearly ours, and her fifteen votes leaves but fourteen more to make up, after the Grant rout in October, out of New Hdmgshire, Rhode Island, Arkansas, North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois, and oth~ ers scarcely less probable ours. | ' The lesson, then, of the Maine election is plain: It reveals a percentage of change which, with ,proger organization and work, gives us Pennsylvaniz and Indiana in October. After these, the battle wins itself.—New York Tribune, 10th.

- Family Courtesies. : In the family, the law of pleasing ‘ought to extend from the highest to the lowest. You are bound to please your children, and your children are bound to please each other, and you are bound to please your servant, if you expect him to please you, Some men are pleasant in the household and nowhere else. ' We all know iuch men, They are good fathers and kind husbands. If you had seen them in their own homes you would have thought they were almost angles; but if you ha«f seen them in their own strores, in the counting-houses, or anywhere else outside of their own homes, you would have thought them almost save. But the oEposite is aptto be :Ee case with others. When among strangers or neighbors they endeaver to act with propriety, but when they get home they say to themselves, “I have layed a part long enough, and now fam going to be natural.” S 0 they sit down, and are ugly, snappish, and blunt and disagreeagle. -'Y‘iey lay aside those little courtesies that make the roughest floor smooth, and make the hardest things like velvet, and that makelife pleasant. They expend all their politeness in place where it will bring silver and gold.

- The thrush is said to work from 2:30 in the morning until 9:30 in the evening, or nineteen hours. During this time he feeds his young 306 times. Blackbirds work seventeen hours.. The male feeds the young forty-four times and the female fifty-five times per day. The industrious titmouse manages to spread 317 meals a day before its voracious oﬂsgt.in%. According to one naturalist, their food consists largely of caterpillars. ; The eight-hour agitation has not yet commenced among the feathered bipeds.

They set down as doubtful, Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas and West Virginia, which we claim, making 36 more, which, added to 104, gives us 140. To- this number we think the signs of the times warrant us in adding North Carolina, Indiana, Louisiana, Penn sylvania, Illinois and Ohio, making 105 more, which added to the 140 conceded us, and we have 245, just sixty one votes more than enouge to elect Greeley and Brown. In 1868, Grant’s majority over Seymour, in Pennsylvania was 28,898,and in 1868, Geary’s majority over Packer was only 4,596, a falling off in one year of 24,202. At the same ratio of decline we will carry Ohio this fall by over 5,000, and Illinois by over 6,000; without count: ing the liberal vote. We believe there are 30,000 Liberals in Pennsylvania,which will give us a majority of 60,000 from that source alone ; and in Illinois we have not less than 25,000 Liberals, equal to 50,000 majority there. Then there is Rhbode Island, heretofore carried by Gov. Sprague for Grant, and he will surely carry it now for Greeley, while New Hampshire, his native State, will vote for Greeley, giving us nine more electoral votes, added to 245 gives us 254. In 1870, Nevada elected a democratic Governor by 1,068 majority, and ir 1871 Parker was elected Governor of New Jersey by 5,979 majority. In 1868 Oregon voted for Seymour, and will vote for Greeley; and many who are well posted affirm that we will carry Nebraska and Wisconsin by considerable majorities, which "gives us the grand total of 282. According totbis calculation, we can elect Greeley, and have 98 votes to spare.. We have made the calculation with some care, and feel sure that the election on the sth of November next will confirm its accuracy. In 1852 General Pierce was elected by-254 votes, while General Scott only received 42. If our predictions prove correct, (as we have no.doubt they will) Grant will only get 84 electoral votes—twice as many as Scott received, and twice asmany as he ought to have.— Hz. ;

A Disgusted Delegate. - Mr. Chris. Wallace, one of the three delegates who went from this county to the Louisville Convention, returned last evening covered all over with one supreme disgust for the whole thing. He says that as soon as he arrived in Louisville he discovered the convention was gotten up wholly and entirely in the interest of General Grant,and was being secretly lun by Republicans. He says the whole thing was one grand; stupendous, ridiculous fizzle, having neither head, tail nor body. Mr. Wallace now declares himself warmly for Greeley, and will give his best efforts to secure his election. How much the Grantites in this section have made by the boosting they gave to the convention, is not plainly perceptible at the present writing.— Terre Haute Gazette.

' Facts for|Tax-Payers, ' Tax-payersof all parties should remember that as soon as the Democrats came into power in this State they immediately reduced the tax from twenty-five cents to five cents.on the hundred dollars-valua-tion. Here is a saving of twenty cents on each hundred dollars, but this is not all, the several departments now in the bands of Democrats have been run at an expense of one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars a year less than the Radicals expended in the same departments. The fact is,and the Radicals dare not dispute it, that Democratic rule in the State 1u the short space of twenty months has reduced the taxes about one million four hundred thousand dollars—a gaving of nearly one dollar for every man, woman and child in the State. The people sho’d remember this; as dollars and -cents are important things. : .

The Hendrieks Demonstration at New The Hendricks meeting at New Albany, Saturday night, Sept. 7th, was one of the grandest political meetings ever held in the Second District. The torchlight procession was two miles in length, and the array of torches and men was never before equaled in this part of Indiana. The crowd is variously estimated at from ten to fifteen thousand, and the illumination of the houses along the entire march was sublime in its appearance. This grand assembly of the voters prove conelusively to unprejudiced minds that Hon. T. A. Hendricks' majority in this State will be fifteen or twenty thousand. o —_———l - ————— Ix 1856 Maine went Republican by 17,000 majority, and, as our readers all know, at the Pmaiydenﬁal election of that year, Buchanan was chosen oyer Fremont by an overwhelming vote, Yet some Radicals go ' prating about like parrots that “as goes Maine, so goes the Union.”

. THE INDIANAPOLIS RING. ' At the head and troot of this corrupt clique, stands Oliver P. Morton, the autocrat of the radical party in this State. It was this man more than any other who | infused into American politics the rulingidea that force is the chief element of success, and that success means the devotion of all the spoils to personal and party. interest. This-man Morton has governed the State of Indiana “ever since accident placed him in the Gubernatorial thair. He began his career about the outbreak: of the war, whose circumstances offered peculiar facilitigg for the application of his code of morals. Enabled by the semimilitary power yested in the State Executive at the time to shape political matters to suit his own behest, he established the Indianapolis ring, ‘which has ever since used the public monies, patronagé and iu-,-‘ fluence for the purpose of retaining the ‘power then established.- =~ . - W. R. Holloway is the brother in-law and First Lieutenant of Morton in thisring power. Holloway has been the jack-: al of Morton's career. He began by en:; joying the perquisites of thres offices, besides that of a staff position in Merton's military household, making out vouchers for personal expenses, which Morton was always ready to audit. He followed this. up by the bigger frauds which the State printing afforded, and his official conduct - in the position of State printer was chiefly - signalized by the facility with which s7oo° vouchers were made $7,000 vouchers and duly paid. 'Then he added the ‘position | of postmaster to higother political virtues, and his chief duty has been to remain in. Indianapolis and guard the organization of the ring.’ e A e 3 A. H. Conner was also rewarded for his dirty work by the position of post--master for a time, and by a handful of the State Treasury, secured by a similar pro- ‘ cess of raised vouchers, and $20,000 of which he has while yet- chairman of the State Central Committee, been compelled to disgorge. The $25,000. which he made in this school of political thievery, was pretty good pay for the service which he did in 1868 in the manipulation of the election boards- in Indianapolis, ‘and the Jjudicious expenditure of themoney bro’t. into, the State to secure.it for Gen. Grant. Cennor is deserving of most of the credit which belongs to the ring for swindling Mr. Hendricks' out of thg Governorship to which the people-had undoubtedly elected bimei. .= Gsbidinndnn John F. Wood, Holloway's SergeantMajor and Assistant Postmaster, ‘who is now & defaulter to the amount of several thousand dollars, has also been an active member of this ring. He is temporarily under a cloud because of the recent exposure of his theft, but will not on this account exert'any the less influence over the roughs, blacklegs and rowdies whom he is expected, by affinity, to help in the right direetion.—Ft. Wayne Sentinel. =

" A Boy of Seven Murders a Girl of ' : Five Years. Sl On last -Sunday afternoon_tbe people of Lexington, Scott county, were horrified at the announcement that a little son ‘of Mr. Hugh Loftus, of that place,cnlyseven years old, had shot a daughter of Jerry Chandler at the tender age lof five years. They were together a in room at Loftas’ house. = Young Loftus said he would kill the little girl, when she ran away, but subsequently returned, when the young fiend deliberately took up a shot gun and fired, filling the poor little girl’s stomach with slugs. She survived until last Monday, when she died at about daylight. The above is substantially ‘whaﬂﬂ‘é_ little girl stated after the terrible tragédy. ‘A resident of Lexington states that it was not many days previousto this that he saw young Loftus in a stable trying: to get the little girl to put her arm under the blade of the cutting machine, in order that he might cut it off. This ‘certainly is the most shocking case of a npaturally depraved and bloodthirsty taste we ever recorded, and one that seems to amount to a monomania.—New Albany (Ind.) Ledger, Sept. 14. St T R :

i Will They Vote Together?. =~ It is claimed by the followers of Grant that the Liberal Republicans and Democrats cannot consistently vote together for the same men and the same measures. The old issues which divided political parties having been settled, and that sentiment having been accepted 'in good faith by the Democrats, the two: parties are now in full accord upon the living issues of the day.. 1t is the highest duty of a citizen to oppose personal government, a violation of the Constitution, the commission of - frauds upon- the public treasury, and an invasion and subversion of the peoples’ rights. <. .7 To effect these purposes the Liberals and Democrats have joined together, and when they have accomplished this great and noble purpose, they may’ differ and divide upon issues to come up in the future. But for the present they are a unit, and the cohorts of Grant, Morton & Co. cannot prevail against them.-— North Vernon Democrat. Bl ek

A Good Three¢ Months’ Work. Mr. Greeley’s whole term of service in Congress -barely covered a period of three months. Yet in this quarter of a year he set on foot. three great reforms of which the country is now reaping the benefit. It was Congressman Greeley who brought in the first Homestead Bill, who struck the first' blow at the mileage abuse, and who first assailed the English doctrine, “Once & .subject, always a subject,” by laying down in a resolution the American doctrine that ‘“every man has & right. to migrate from his'native land to another, and in becoming a citizen of the latter to: renounce all allegiance to the . former,” Not a very bad record for three months,

‘Mr. Oakes Ames’ Denial-What it is » C L Werthe i g _ Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. NEW Yoßrx, Sept. 18.—The Sun, in the ‘morning, dissects Oakes Ames’ tar&y“and reluctant attempt to whitewash the Grant Congressmen whom he bribed, to secure special legislation for the Union Pacific Railroad. !First,” says the Sun, “we call attention to the bold and unqualified falsehood with which Ames’ statement concludes.. Mr. Ames says that the last act of angréss in aid of the Union Pa. cific Road was passed in connection with the suit-of James Fisk, Jr., in 1869. This is not so,” The last act of Congress in aid of the Union Pacific Railroad, was intro~ duced on Feb. 28, 1871, by Mr. Stuart, of Nevada, in the Senate, and was passed there, on that day. It was forced through without being read, and without debate, those who were opposed to it being con--strained to vote for it rather than defeat all appropriations for the army, and compel the calling of an extra session of Congress. The facts concerning this villainy can be secen in'the Congressional Globe . for the.third session of the Forty first Congress, from page 1,773 to page 1,784, and on page 1,916, Mr. Ames also presumes to say that he has put in a sworn answer ia reference to his suit in Pennsylvania; denying that .he ever bribed members of Congress with Credit Mobilier stock. Howgﬂ‘oes this bold averment tally with the fact that Oakes Ames has never appeared for examination in this. cate, and that all other legal means fail: ing to bring him into court, a bench war- : rant has long been out against him to compel him 'to appear in Pennsylvania, and be examined on this very subject. Instead of meeting the issue at the Su‘preme- Court of Penunsylvania, he has avoided it, making use of his privilege as a member of Congress, and. now he pretends to assert that he has come forward there and given his evidénce. Amessays in his report that McComb had no au. thority from him for meking a list. Me: Comb testifies under oath that he copied it from another list which Ames took out of Lis'pocket and showed to him. The list-entirely agrees with the statement in Ames' letter ‘of Jan. 25, 1868, respecting the distribution of Credit Mobilier stock, Which, then, will sensible people be. lieve? Ames’ compulsory statement of to day, or Ames’ unconstrained declarations of 1868, sustained, as they éere, by’ the sworn evidence of McComb, and by a great variety of other facts and circumstances. In short, Ames’ sfhtement is, in all its features, as much a confession that’ the accusation is true,as were the denials of James G. Blaine, Henry L. Dawes,and Henry Wilson.,” . ¢ oo :

Loliis National Banks, ; In response to the Indianapolis Journal's claim, made in July last, that all the bankers, railroad kings and bond holders, were for Grant and against Greeley, we showed the reason to be, that the Grant policy paid them $45,000,000 a year out of the people’s money as a bonus'and bribe to be for him, which Greeley proposes to keep back for the people, or pay on thé national debt. The Journal, of Sept.sth,: most: triumphantly asserts that the national banks have paid in taxes on circulation, deposits and capital, from Jan, Ist, 1864; ta Jan, Ist, 1872, the sum of $40,242,70543. Mirabile dictu! In the same eight -years that this immense monopoly have .paid in taxes these forty millions, they bave been paid by the Grant system, out of the hard earnings‘ of the people, not less than $360,000,000! And besides this, have continually, loaned all their capital, over $300,000,000 to the people,and have drawn from them at the same time usurious interest. Thus, while' they pay the government about five millions a year, they draw back, out of the people’s taxes, nine times that amount. Under the Grant system, they bave, in eight years, besides all the interests on loans, drawn back out of the people’s taxes an amowant equal to their original capital. This 1s one of thegrinding measures, set on foot to make the rich richer, and forever keep down the poor, and make them poorer every day, that the election of Grant is to continue in force.—Morgan Co. Gazette. _

%,Earnest Appgal to Democrats. [e'believe there are some Democrats who are unwise enough to think that the party: abandoned its principles when it put Greeley in nomination; and will refuse to vote for him and will not vote at all. They surely can gain nothing by such ‘a course. A vote withheld from Greeley is half a vote for Grant. Does any Democrat doubt the Democracy of Horatio Seymour? He is for Horace Greeley. ~Does any Democrat doubt the Democ - racy of Allen G. Thurman. He is for Greeley. T Does any Democrat-doubt the Democ--racy of Themas A. Hendricks? He is for “Greeley.

Old Chappaqua is going to be the next President, and the best informed Repub¢licans are stating such to be their belief. —Hartford Democrat. * 5 Had His Eyes Opened. ¢~ Samuel Clem, one of the Bourbon Democrats from the Ft. Wayne Congressional Distriet, who could not fall into the lib - eral movement, and went to Louisville ~with the honest intention of aiding in the selection of a Democrat who would rep~ resent his principles, returned home thor- - ~oughly disgusted with the proceedings, _and pablished an account .of the affair, ‘concluding as follows: ; e - “I desire to say to my democratic friends in Allen county, that I went to the Louisville convention as a ‘delegate from the Ninth Congressional District of the State of Indiana, honestly believing that that convention was called for the furtherance of sound demoecratic principles. Intercourse with the managers of that affair, at -Louisville, hag satisfled me that it was instigated and managed by men wholly for selfish purposes and to sécure the reelection of Grant.
