NEXT TVESDA Y.

Before another issue of The Mail att important event will have taken place in this country—the question of who shall be the nineteenth President of the United States will, virtually, have been settled. "As goes Indiana in October so goes the Union in November," is this year almost universally oonceded. The campaign has been, particularly in our State, an unusually active one. Both tbe principal parties have put forth their full strength and have brought here many of their most able and eloquent leaders from' all parts of the Union Never before have the people oflndiuia listened during a single canvass to so large a number of eminent speakers, There have been monster mass meetings, splendid torchlight processions much music, a profusion of banners,

orations innumerable. What effect all this has bad on the popular mind, next Tuesday will tell. That is the predestined battle-day. Then the civil armies wi'l meet and without, let us hope, the semblance of even so ruuch war as a single bloody nose, the sharp contest which has been going on for three months past will be ended.

WQ have said that it is an important event and so it is bow important may perhaps not be fully revealed for many years. It is always an important event when a great nation selects its rulers but there are crises in human aflairs tho full measure of which is never seen until tliey are studied from the page of history. This nation has passed through such crises and may, for aught we know, be passing through one now. This much at least is certain: It is a grand and inestimable privilege every free citizen has of helping to Select those who shall rule over him or, as we now express it, who shall

serve

*T 4*

him (and'the

statement is not so paradoxical, for how often does the servant in name become the ruler in fact!) It is a duty which should be discharged with dignity and circumspection, for it is the highest duty of citizenship. Every man therefore ought to recognize the importance of the act of voting and endeavor to perform ttie duty with intelligence and wisdom. The man who votes blindly with his pariy, not knowing or caring if it be right or wrong, is not fit to be a citizen of a free government. We cannot all see alike nor all vote alike and if we have conscientiously tried to understand the questions before tho country and the politics of the various parties and are honestly endeavoring to vote for tho best men and the best measures, we have done our duty and will not be hold responsible for any mistake or blunder we may unintentionally commit. NVe trust the vigorows campaign through which wo have just passed has tended to enlighten the citizens of the State as to their political duties and to render them better capable of exercising the elective franchise next Tuesday than they otherwise would have been.

WEARY OF

BREATH.

A few days ago an old man by the name of Samuel Turner committed sui cide by drowning himself in the Ohio river, near L/ouisvllle. His case was a very singular one. At the timo of death he was eighty-five years of age, yet perhaps since early childhood ho had nover known a happy moment. From birth nature had seemed to frown upon him. He went about bearing tbe undeserved brand of her disfavor. He was, says an exchange, bald from his birth, never had but ono tooth, and his body was covered with unsightly marks of o4d shapes and colors. These isfl gu rements made in the victims of the prurient curiosity of the vulgar, which is one tbe most fearful scourges ever sent upon mortal kind He was sensitive to an unusual degree, and tbe daily torture be endured because of bis peculiarities was indescrilm ble. Ills personal deformities isolated him from his kind throughout all his Life and at It at crushed hiai into tbe grave. He never married, and though surrounded by friends lived a life of bitter loneliness and Intense anguish. He fancied that no ono looked upon him without loathing him, and tbe fancy took root and became a deep settled conviction, which grew with his years until it became to heavy too be borne, and coald not be caat off cave with his life. He became poeeeased of the idea that •ven in death be woaid And no refuge from the miseries beneath which be groaned. He bad morbid fear that his body would besought for by tbe medical stodsnta and displayed upon the dkh aecting table, where hi* deformities woah) be tbe subject of enrtona comments and brutal J«ta, and to svold this dismal possibility he drowned bin* aelf in the Ohio river' hoping his body woaid not be recovered.

Scarcely a Friday passes that some poor wretch is not brutally mangled at an unsucessful first attempt to hang him, cut down and launched bunglingly again to die at last in the most fearful and horrible agony. Such ghastly spectacles are much too frequent and should bo stopped.

prohibit the employment of married women as teachers in the public schools. It is urged that maternal duties and anxieties may materially interfere with the claims ef tho school room, and that while a mother is nursing her baby at home the children in the schools might suffer. Very true, but what about the large number of married women who unfortunately do not happen to be mothers? Having no children of their own to teach are they to be deprived of the privilege of teaching other people'! children, when, it maj' bo they are admirably qualified for tbe task both by education and experience?

THE withdrawal of Anson Walcott, Independent candidate for Governor of Indiana, produced quite a sensation in this part of the State yesterday. For several days, rumors that be would withdraw seem to have been in circulation in Oreenback circles, but the Express, on Thursday, in a high flown editorial, denounced all such reports as base inventions of the enemy and warned its readers to pay 110 attention to them. The same night, the editor of that paper was summoned to Indi* anapolis and found that the letter of Mr. Wolcott, declining the race was really in tne hands of the Chairman of the Independent Stato Central Committee. Cf course there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

THE MAN WHO LTVKS.

It is astonishing how poorly many people understand tho philosophy of living and how greatly they mistake the purpose aud object of life. To judge by thoir actions and conduct they seem to think that tho whole ond of man is to get money. They are willing to dwarf and even to destroy their moral, intellectual and social natures in order to convert themsoives irt« mere machines for money-making. Blindly pursuing the golden apple (which is too often filled only with bitter ashes) they do not perceive that they are gradually becoming hard, cruel, stingy, grasping, avaricious, narrow-minded and altogether pitiable that they are trampling bvneath their feet all the good things which nature has so bountifully spread in their way, as mean and worthless that they ara laying health and life itself on tbe altar of filthy lucre. They do not see all this because, like tbe dirtraker in Bunyan, their eyes are riveted on one object and one object only—gold. Others see it and perhaps warn them of the consequences that will come upon them, but in vain. Tho spell is on tbem too strong to bo broken by mortal power. They have gone so far that to retarn is Impossible. They must and will follow tbe delusion to tbe end, which is the grave. The richer tbey become tbe harder and more avaricious tbey grow until all the milk of human klndnea* is turned to a cankerous curdle in their breasts. Of course all of tbem do not beoome horrible miaers, starving by their sacks or gold, but many of them, all of tbem In feet, reach a point somewhere between man and the miser.

We are a nation of mooey-seekers. In this oountry wealth seems to be looked on as tbe highest good. Young men beginning lite believe money to ba tbe open sesame to honor, position and influence. Henoe tbey seek to marry into rich families or, felling In that, plunge into business or professional life with all tbe energy of a delirium. There is unfortunately too much ground

On the contrary they stand in the way of progress and area hindrance rather than a benefit to the community. When the/ die few tears fall upon their graves men are secretly glad they aro out of tbe way.

In every community also thnre area few citizens of another class, not rich generally, but for tho most part, in comfortable circumstances. They have good, warm, hospitable homes provided with all the comforts and as many of the luxuries of life as tboy can afford. They aro intelligent, progressive, cultivated, liberal, frank, genial, honest, just and kind. They are not cold and selfish but opeh-hearted and hospitable. Everybody speaks well ol them nobody ill. They have good health, an easy conscience, a sweet temper and are full of spirit and energy. They are more popular and have a greater influence in the community tbau any uumber misers could have. Their wives an daughters at once adorn and lead soci ty. They are the touchstones of taste and manners. These men build, guide, govern. They are autocratfc by nature, obeyed and followed because they commend what all see is wise aud right and lead where all see that the way is easy andsafo. These are tbe sample citizens of the community, the people who are known far from tbe towns they live in. Therefore it is not rwonoy alone, nor money of necessity, which gives a man influence and standing in tbe world.

How much more our hsppinoss depends upon ourselves than we are apt to imagine. We think we should be happy situated so or so—making our happiness depend on these circumstance* or on others. Nature was no such blunderer. She placed the matter in our own hands. Life ought to bo a compound of work and nnjoyinent. Neither must be iu excess to produce the best result. Work gives an appetite for pleasure, and pleasure an appetite for work. A healtby balance must be maintained. He who would live wisely should consider first of all things bis health. It is the sound mind in the sound body that constitutes the ideal man. This ev.d is to be attained by careful and prudent living by regular habits, by not worrying and fretting but by being contented, satisfied and hopeful, not overtaxing the energies in order to make great gains but being content with tbe moderate returns of reasonable toil. Good, sound health is indeed a perennial spring of enjoyment to its possessor. Another source of the highest pleasure is the intellectual faculties. These every ono ought to find time to cultivate by the study of tnuslc. literature and art. A man ought not to grudgo tbe dollars he pays for book*f for pictures, for tickets to the opera, tbe theater and tbe lecturo hall. Then there is the moral nature. No one can live as he ought who allows his moral faculties to-be blunted and destroyed. "He that maketh haste to he rich," says tbe wiso man, "shall not lie innocent." How a man's moral nature goes down before his efforts to accumulate wealth! The first step from the path of honest'* and right causes bim a pang of shame and remorse, but he persists in spite of it and by and by his conscience is settled. It has ceased its fluttcrings. The man is amoral wreck and can perform any villainy with a steady and fearless eye. Such a man is pitiable object for he is forever shut out from tho moral beauties of tbe universe. Tho church and religious worship coino in, therefore, for their propenshare of attention Then there are tho social influences— wife, children, home, friends. What an infinite fund of enjoyment is contained iu these. Home, with its ease and comfort, its freedom from care and restraint, its sacred affections, its tasteful appointments, its beauty, purity and love—what a plaoe for a man to gather in all his treasures of intellect and heart and make of it his royal palacc I

He is the true liver who lies down with no weight on bis conscicnce, whoso pillow is not visited by demons of ba dreams, who rises strong and frosb fo the tasks of tho day whoge heart is full of music and song, who absorbs happi ness from tbe air, liko tt sponge, who 1 a joy to himself and to all with whom cornea inoontact who puts his sturdy shoulder to tho wheel and bulps to push on tbe car of progress who is always roady for every good work and always willing to partake of every proper en. joyment. He is the true rich man—thy king, the prince, whose treasure Is inexhaustible for all nature pours out her gifts at his feet and strews her way with flowers.
