Butler wuzn't half so much a terrier to

He will slide over into the Republikin

them. He is cheeliv a terror to his

Since the publication of Senator Ma

Why not pass by on the rber side and
Kretend not to see the evidence of
arbarity and 'intolerance? The spec
tacle is calculated to awaken senti
ments of antipathy toward our South
ern brethren, who are compelled to
choose between political defeat at the
polls and tho massacre in cold b'ood
of persons who will not vote the Demo
cratic ticket or stay at home. Think
of the grievous alternative to which
they are reduced, of seeing themselves
defeated in the elections or nobly
slaughtering their opponents. Extend
to them your sympathy .'rather than
your blame. Rel!cct upon the anguish
that mu-t wrinsr their chivalrie souls
when they contemplate the certain
ty of being excluded from office and
power, and deprived of the emolu
ments appertaining thereto, unles they
iudu'ge in a little butchery by way of
diminishing the obstacles which con
front them in pursuit of these desirable
things! Be content with beholding the
grand results flowing from the Bourbon
system of conducting politLal cam
paigns, and remain silent. Don't stir
up bad fccliifg Perhaps the thing
isn't as bad as witnesses report it to be.
At most only a few lives are sacrificed,
comparatively. Two or three dozen
murders in a State just before election
day, ordinarily suffice, and what are
they to make" a fuss about, anyhow?
Let us have peace. We have heard
enough of the bloody shirt, and don't
want to be bothered about it any more.
If j-ou keep on waving it we will swear
that nothing of the sort exists, no mat

plant the seal of their condemuat:on
no only upon the immediate crim'nals
but also upon their apologists.
U Democracy can not maintain itseli
without murder to serve as a hand
maiden, in the South, or anywhere else,
it is right that the fact be known to all
men, in order that they may pass judg
ment upon it. Representative Barbour,
of Virgin'a, is reported to be in New
York denouncing Senator Mahone's axr
raignment of the Bourbons as an out
nige. The Democratic State Commit
tee of Virginia has met in Richmond
'and passed resolutions protesting
against the revelation of Bourbon
tactics. Barbour says Senator Mahone's
statement is an imitation of others that
have preceded it from other States; but
mere is only so much similarity as nec-essa-ily
iuhcres in tales of crime and
bloodshed growing out of partisan ani
mosily and greed. The fact that in
famies of the same sort have been prac
tical before in the South does not ex
cuse or palliate in any degree the culpa
bility of the Virginia Bombons. The
"Mississippi plan" of carrying elections
is nothing new, of course, but the
appalling wickedness of its intro
duction in Virginia is net dimin
ished by pleading precedents. Mur
der dates back to the davs of
Cain and Abel, but it is not to be ex
cused on that account. There is no
moral statute of limitation properly ap
plicable to deeds of blood-guiltiness. It

WHAT WISNIE LOST.
Oh! now tell me another story,
please do, Uncle Will, before it is time
for me to go to bed," Mabel pleaded,
as her uncle seated himself in the par
lor after tea. UucIj Will had read the
Peter Parley looks when he was a boy,
so he knew just how to make delightful
rtories out of what little folks usually
think is very dry, indeed.
But then anything that her beloved
new Uncle Will told her would be
pleasant to Mabel. Only a few months
before he had married her dearest, best,
s.weetest auntie, who had always been
good to her, and from that day," curious
as it may seem, Mabel tojk him into
her heart, and gave bim just as much
love as she did Aunt Alice, though
auntie seemed to get just as much as
before. And so there is no end of lov
injr, is there? -Nobody found it a very
-hard matter to love Uncle Will, he was
so merry and bright, and there was no
end to the things he kn?w and could
tell about. Then he was unselfish; he
would give up his own pleasure any
time to amuse a child, or cheer up
somebody in trouble.
Before Uncle Will could answer,
grandma spoke up. She noticed that
he had just pulled the evening paper
from his pocket, so she said as she
'drew her rockinjr-chair near the fire
the very first fire that had crackled in
the grate that autumn:
'Come over here, Mabel dear, I will
tell you a story."
"Will it be nice, like Uncle Will's
stories?" Mabel asked, coming slowly
across the room.
"I will let you answer that question
after I have told it," said grandma,
reaching for her knitting-bag.
Mabel, again.
"What is a history story?"
"Why, all about something that truly
happened a long time ago, to a truly
somebody," said Mabel.
"Must it have happened a long time
ago to make it history? Don't von
know history is be'ng made every day?
You remember all about our dear Presi
dent Garfield, don't you? It is only a
short time since those sad days, but the
story is published uow in a book, and
that is history."
"Oh, yes, I know," said Mabel,
eagerly some of the tlrngs Uncle Will
bad taught her just coming into her
head "I know; anything that hap
pened hundreds of years ago is ancient
history, and what happened lately or
the last hundred years or so is called
modery history."
"That is right," said grandma; well,
now, I will tell you a story of modern
history.
"Once upon a time not a hundred
years ago there was a little girl by.the
name ol Winnie.
"Her home was a handsome bouse in

the expenditures $13,600.82. The to-
et off ur there.
ior the sunshine came with a rosy light
inrougn tne red glass. A here was a
largo old cbair by the window, and
Winnie said it was a coxy place. So
she had brought her slate and arithme
tic and geography, to study her lessons.
She always studied a couple of hours in
the morning, then recited to Aunt
Lena; after that, the time was her own,
to walk or play as sue chose. She
curled herself up in the large chair, and
opened her book, but did not look in it;
she looked out of the window, and saw
up in the eaves little brown sparrow
fluttering and twittering. She dropped
her books and climbed up on the chair
and watched them a long time. At last
she tried to count them, and that made
her remember that she had better be
loarning her multiplication table, so
she slid down into the cbair again and
opened her book.
"It was a queer kind of multiplica
tion table sbe found,, though. With one
eye on her book, and the other roving
about the room, it went something like
this: '
" 'Seven times four are twenty-eiorht.

It was much too tight over another

butiho pwhed them up, then she
slipped off her shoes and put on a pair
of cunning littlo slippers with high
heels, then tied on s big satin bonnet,
and with a dainty little fan in her hand
shewas ready.-
"She trailed up to an old looking
glass that hung on the wall, and was
perfectly astonshed. What a beautiful
littlo lady she made with those pretty
things-on! She paraded ud and down
Broadway, smiled, and bowed, and
courtesied, and then imagined that she
wa3 at a party sweeping about with a
long train, chatting and laughing with
most charmimr nconle. It became ao
real to Winnie that she actually talked
it ail out. Mie sailed Up to a bag of
feathers, bowed low, and inquired alter
the health of Mrs. Fitzailan and her
children.
- "But hark! what noise was' that? Was
somebody coming? Yes, somebody was
coming up stairs as fast as possible
two somebodvs, and they walked
straight into tne room. It was mamma
and Air. Denisc; Mr. Dcnise was ao
artist.
"A large old oil painting stood in the
attic, it had been injured in some
way and mamma wished him to see if
it could be restored.
"Poor Winnie! She gathered up her
long trail and scampered as fast as she
could, with such high heels clattering
behind her. It was of no use to try to
hide, though, they were right upon her.
Mr. Dcn'se laughed heartily, and de
clared he must nave her picture in that
dress, but Winnie saw something in
mamma's eyes that perhaps the gentle
man did not. Mamma was certainly
very much surprised, and not pleased.
ihcy soon went away, and just as
Winnie had put the last thing back into
the chest Aunt Lena's' bell tinkled up
tne stairs as a signal that recitation
bounWad come.
"That afternoon, just after dinner, a
fine carriage drew up before the door,
and took in mamma, grandma and
Aunt Lena; then it rolled off through
handsome streets, out of the city, over
smooth roads, to Clifton Park; a long
ride on a lovely afternoon, that is what
Winnie lost. , This drive had been
planned a week ago and she had looked
forward to it with delight. But on they
went among trees and flowers and sweet
air, while she sat at home trying
through her tears to make out 'seven
times nine.'
"It was hard. Btit when mamma
had heard her blundering and stumbling
through her lesson, she had said to
grandma: ' It will almost break ray heart
to leave that dear child at home this
afternoon, but something must be done
to break up tbis miserable habit she has
of da'lying over her lessons and play
ing, when she knows very well she
should be bard at work. M3- little girl

"Didn'tyou know," whispered grand

"O-h!" said Mabel, and then she
sank back in the large chair and looked
at Aunt Alice sitting by her husband's

D0ST BEGIN THE HABIT.
A Plain Talk with Young Men.
A young man. who had just lost an
excellent situation by a two-days'
"spree," camemto my study lately and
said to me:. "Doctor, I can not under
stand how it is that I should have made
such a fool of myself and thrown away
my chance for a living. This is almost
killing my little wife." I replied to
him: " There is no mystery about your
case. You have been tampering with
drink a long while, trying to jump half
way down Jflagara. You ought to have
stopped before you began. It would
not have cost you one-hundredth part as
much effort to have signed a total ab
stinence pledge several years ago as it
will now to break loose from this terri

The title to a tract of about six hun

Cayuga Lake between the shore and tbe
village of Ithaca is in law in that vil

complicated, tne original titles run

lineal contestants are" two families
named Kenwick and Moody, the former

children of Major Robert Renwick. de

of William and Jane Renwick, his wife.
But the' last named was. before ber mar
riage with William Renwick, Miss Jane
Jeffrey, of Lochmaben in Diimireishire,
Scotland, and was "The Blue-eyed
Lassie" of Robert Burns' song.
Writing in,1838 to a sister-in-law in
Canandafcua, N. Y., Mrs. Renwick,
who-retained till she died at the age of
seventy-seven, remarkable cheerfulness
of countenance and brightness of "een

tions of the poet. "Poor, poor Burns,"
she writes to Mrs. Jeffrey, "how often

grapple h:s weakness to God's strength;
he signed a pledge of entire abstinence,
and went away with the desparate look
of a man who is pulling for life in the
rapids, in full sight of the cataract.
That young man is a fair representa
tive of a sadly numerous class who
"lock the stable door after the horse is
stolen." He may possibly be saved,
but so as by lire. " My plain talk to-day
is with those who have not yet Hung
themselves into the rapids. I wish to
give half a dozen common-sense reasons
for letting every intoxicating drink
(whatever its name) entirely alone. He
who never touches a tlrop Avill assnred
ly never become a drunkard. Preven
tion is easy, is 6afe, is sure; reforma
tion is difficult, and with some persons
is well-nigh impossible. The Jews were
commanded to build battlements around
the flat roofs of their dwellings in order
to prevent the children from falling
over into the street. To put up the
parapet cost but little; but the want of
it might cost broken bones; and alas!
what human power could recall a dead
darling jto life? lam always thankful
that I took a pledge, of entire abstinence
jn early boyhood. But for that battle
ment 1 might have been ruined by the
drinking-usages which were deplorably
prevalent in my college.. "Stick to the
teetotal" said a shrewd old kinsman to
me when I started for college; and now
after forty years I wish to commend the
bridge that carried me safely-over.
(1.) The first argument, my young
friend, for total abstinence is that
no healthy person heats an alcoholic
beverage; and even invalids bad
bettsr be careful how the
tamper with it as a mefticiue. Sir Hen
ry Thompson and several other distin
guished British physicians have delib
erately declared that "alcohol'c bever
ages can not, in any sense, be considered
necessary for the maintenance of healthy
life; that it is not a food iu any true
sense of that term, and that tbe .steadi
est and best work Is best done without
it." Livingstone, the heroic explorer of
Central Africa, was both a physician
and a teetotaler. His testimony was:
"I find that Tcan stand every hardship
best by using water, and water only."
I entreat you not to fall into the delu
sion that you can do an' honest work
the better by firing up your nerves with
alcohol. If you do you will have to in
crease tho fuel constantly In order to
produce the effect; Solid food and sound
sleep- are all you require. Even as a
tonic medicine wine and Bourbon may
cover up a great deal; they cure, but
ten Utile. Several friends I have known
to be decoyed by them into drunkenness
and disgrace.
(2.) Therein lies a second reason for
avoiding all intoxicants. They are de
ceitful. Not only the sting of the ser
pent, but the subtlety of the serpent is
in them. The deception lies in the fact
that the habit of drinking will become
confirmed before you suspect it That
young man who came into my study so
tortured with the adder's bite, never
dreamed at the outset that he was play
ing with a rattlesnake. Every alcoholic
drink has in it this quality, that it never
satisfies, but awakens a constant desire
for more. A small glass creates a
thirst for a larger; one draught only
whets the appetite for a second. This
is not the case with any wholesome food
or beverajre. Bread and beef do not
breed excess; one glass of milk does not
arouse a morbid thirst for two the next
time. But tbis horse-leech qualitv in
alcoholic liquors, which cries "give
.a.0
give.' ana is never satisneo, is the very
thing that makes them so dangerous.
This it is which makes it so difficult to
drink wine or brandy moderately and
so easy 'to fall into drunkenness. A
healthful-beverage satisfies' appetite r a
hurtful one, like wine or brandy, stim
ulates appetite until it becomes an un
controllable frenzy. Tlrs I .regard as
the Creator's law azainst alcohol: and
when you take your first social glass
vou begin to play with, a deadly ser
pent. You may say: "Every one who
drinks liquors does not become a sot."
Very true, but every sot drinks liquors:
and not one in a mUlion, ever expected
to become a sot when he began with his
champagne or his "sherry-cobbler:"
