Intel. tVhst the Defeat of Grant IRans, Tho defeat of Grant is tlra flrst step to tlra equalization pf tlra public bur dens. If lie is made President, the rich will be mado richer and the poor poorer. To defeat Grant is to do something to bring back a gold and silver currcn- cy, and to reduce tho cost of subsis tence to a point which will enable the poor man and Ills family to live. To defeat Grant is to upset specula tion, emancipate honest labor from tho heartless grip of a dishonest pnpor money oligarchy, and restore the me- clianio and workingman to the position he is entitled to occupy in society.— Freeborn white American citizens can not nlways bo slaves. Aro thoy not entitled in emancipation, at least, as janfi-tj much as the ignorant, debased, fetish- worshipping negro ? The defeat of Graut means lower rents and higher wages. Fewer taxes and cheaper broad. A chance for tho mechanic to_ edu cate ills children, and once more to buy his wife a now dress. It means all that and a good deal more besides.

After tlra nuptiuls, Sir Gawain took his loathsome brido home. She would havo him.oaress her, but ho shuddered at any contact, and ' could not boar to give her one kiss. Sho demanded the reason for his aversion, and lie told her It wns because of “lior old ago, tier ugliness and her low pedigree." To this she an swered him' that “ with age sho had dlsoretion; that her ugliness would savo him. from rivals, and that true no bility depended, not on the birth, but tlra character of the individual."— Moved by these arguments and lior. tears, Sir Gawain resolved to try and bear with her, and, of his own nccoid, drew lior to hie breast and kissed her lips. lien behold 1 ill an instant site wns transformed into a surpassingly lovely damsel; and she told him that sho bad been the victim of an cnohantment which could not be removed but by the kiss oT a truo and noblo man, and that she had languished in misery for years, until he had thus broken- tho spell.

And so it is now, in nn humble sense, by mere human hopes. Men may preach, and the worjd will listen; but profit comes by exampio. A patent, for instance, in culcates gentleness to his'children by many sound precepts; but they see him troat his beast in n rude and an gry manner, mid, in consequotico, his insti'uctions arc woreo than lost, for •they aro neither heeded nor respected. His example, as a gentle and humane man, would have boen sufficient for Itis children without one word or com mand. Children Will Imitate. Itis not always ploasent to “seo ourselves as others soe us,” by Booing our faults copied by others, especially by children. Titero is a lesson in the following t A laboring man who wns extremely addicted to swearing, was ono day at work with a yoke of oxen'near his house. The oxen not working to suit him, lie began to whip them severely, at the same timo uttering volleys of oaths. Tlra oxen, breaking loose from their harness, ran away; while tlra man, in a passion, pursued them, anil coming up with them nt the house, bo- gan to whip them aguin, and to swear ns horribly r.t them ns before. His little boy, who wns just old enough to talk, began to prattle ills profane oaths after him. No sooner did tbb father hear this than his feelings were power fully wrought upon. He paused for a moment, droppeti Itis whip, and sat down ami wept bitterly. A flood of keen reflections at once rushed upon Itis conscience, which produced such nn cfTeot that he found ponoo whero forgivoncss can only be had—at tho footstool of Meroy. Norfolk has a musical prodigy in the shape of a baby two nnd r-'inlf years old. The child is blind, but dis plays a rare musical talent—his exe cution on tho piano being nearly fault- leas.

The Itadlral Party, Tito Rndienl party 1ms had absolute control of tho General nnd most of tho States Government, for tho last sovon years, ami what has been tho results?

Tho credit of tho National and State Governments has been well nigh de stroyed. Tho peoplo aro demoralized. Confidence is destroyed. ; Tito industry of tho country is crip- plod.

General Grant has a sentinel march ing in front of his house night aud day. When his little boy of twelve years of ago rides to school every day ho is accompanied by two orderlies in tho uniform of United States army.— In referring to this a correspondent of tho Macon (Ga.) Tolegraph roiates the follo'wingincidontof General Jnokson’s last visit to New Orleans: “Tito fatigues of the day ended, tho old hero repaired with many of tho citizens to apartments prepared for him iu that magnificent structure, the St. Louis Hotel. Tho captain of an Irish compnnv detailed n stalwart son of Erin ns a sentinel at the General's door. Titero ho was, walking his rounds; when lira General observed him, and turning to General Lewis, asked: St . “ What tloes this mean?” “ Only a sentiuol at yonr door, Gen oral.” I shall over remember tlmi t-.-.u, -t.h'ngretaniaumifrary rjoill' ns ho strodo up to the sentinel with a manner which was the Goneral's only: “My.good man,” said ho, “what are yon doing nt my door with a musket ill your bauds ?” “Tho Captain pinced mo hero as your guard, General." “Am I not in tho midst of tho Ameri can people? nftt I iu daitger from thoso ? Or ts this intended as nn honor to ine|? If so I tlepise iti Go homo, sir nntl get yonr dinner;" and turning to his guests, he continued: “When ever an American citizen, by his pub lic conduct, ronders a public guard necessary to Itis protection, beware of that maul” A New Hole for Torture. The Washington National Intelli gencer contained, some days since, a statement that instruments of torture had been applied, in Fort Pulaski, to the government witnesses in tho Ash- burn easo for tho purpose of forcing them to givo such testimony ns was re quired by tho persecutors. Tito Macon Telegraph lias the following in corrob oration of this statement: “ Iu conversation with ono of tho most cinineut citizens of Macon yes terday, ho assured us that General Meado explained to him in Atlanta, week before last, tho whole modus op erandi of this instrument of torture. Meado described it as a box sufficient ly capaeious to admit the victim, and then arranged for compression by screws, by whiclt a force could ho brought upon the prisoner sufficient to “ squeeze tho breath out of him.” It was also provided with a steam appa ratus connected with tho throttling box and pipe, and upon turning a fos- BOt jots of steam woro thrown in, which added materially to tho anguish of suf focation. This machine wns applied to threo of the witnesses—Bets, Mar shal and a negro, witli entire efficacy —the negro gave in, in a moment, nnd cried out that lie would swear to any thing if they would only let him out of that box. “ Tito foregoing is tho statement of a lending citizen of Macon—a mnn whoso ikord nobody doubts—as to wlrat was voluntarilly said in his hearing by Gen. Meado himself. Are more words wanted by way of improvement ? Is it possiblo to add to the force of the facts themselves in showing tho depth of degradation to which Radical ruio has brought tho American govern ment ?" CitowDiNQ a Bachelor.—“ What did you como ltero after?" inquired a Miss of a bachelor friend, who mado bor a eall when the rost of the folks were gone out, during the holidays — “ I come to borrow some matches,” ho meekly replied. “ Matches I that’s a likoly story. Why don’t you ranko a match ? I know wlint you come for,” exclaimed the dolighted Miss as she crowded tho old bachelor Iuto a cor ner: “ you came to htig nnd kiss me al most to death, hut you shan’t unless you aro the strongest, and I know you are." , ‘ ‘ Ho that strikes with his tongue must gnard with his hands. i tiiy girlish head, lowers Hint grew Anil all tho flowers that grew Than, were tied with a golden thread.

What is tho bluo sky, so grandly arched abovo our bonds ? Tho ancient Greeks supposed it to' bo a solid sub stance, spread abovo lira earth nt an immonso iioight, in whioh tlra sun, moon, and stars woro sot,like diamonds in a ring. Tho upper surfaco was laid with gold—the pavements of tho gods. la pagan countries somewhat similar notions still prevail. A converted heathen said to his missionary toaoher that be thought tho snn, moon and stars were holes in the solid sky, through which camo streaming down to oarth tho brightness and glory of tho heav enly world. • Bat, in reality, the Bky is nothing moro than tho air we breathe. Instead of tho solid arch, towering so many thousands of tnilos above us, where our childish fancy placed it, tho blue sky is nothing but tho color of. tho ocean of air, in which we live and move. And, as to its distance from us, it is all within threo or Tour miles.— For travelers who go up high mountain tops, tell us that they no longer see any bluo sky abovo them, where the air is so thin that thoy pant for breath, but only blackness of empty space. But, It may be asked, why do we not soe the blue color of the air when wo look up to tho ceiling of our rooms ? Why do we not havo a bluo sky in the houso as woll as out of doors ? Tbo answer is, that sotno substances, of whioh air is one, do not show their col ors except iu the mass. Tako a picco of glass, pour, upon it n single drop of ink, now press iinotlrar piece of glass upon the ink, nnd hold them both, ircss&A; torrntBcr, up to the l- ireely uiiy color ol tho iu' seen. Tlra poet says : "Tin distance lends enchantment to tho view. And robes tho mountain with its nzaro huo.” But philosophy, that great onemyto pootry, steps up and toils us that it is not tho mountain’s blue robe which wo sec, but only tho air wltioh like a misty curtain, hangs between us and tho mountain.—Our Boys and Girls. As a young woman was walking alone ono evening, a man looked at Iter and followed her. The young wo man said: “ Why do yon follow mo ?” “ Because I have fallen in love with you,” ho answered. “ Why aro yon in love with mo ?” said tho woman. “ My sister is much handsomer; she is coming after mo Go nnd make love to her.” Tho plan turned back and saw a wo man with an ugly faco. Being greatly displeased lie turned to the flrst wo man and said: “Why did you tell mo a falsehood?” Tho woman answered, “ Neither did yon speak tho truth, for if you woro really • Vn love with mo Yrhy did you leave mo to hunt up my sister ?” An exchange was considerably amus ed, the other ovening, at the little girls playing among tho sage brush in the back yard. Tvyo of them wero “mak ing believo keep houso” n few yards distant from eaclt other—neighbors, ns it wero. Ono of them snys to a third little girl, “There now, Nelly, you go to Sarah’s house and stop a l'itllo while and talk, and then como back and tell mo what sho says about me; and then I’ll talk aHont her; then you go and toil her nil I sty, nnd then wo'll get mad and won’t speak to each other, just like onr mothers do, you know.— Oh, that’ll bo such fun I” Only Mb.—A mother had two chil dren, both girls—the eider a fair child, tho younger a beauty nnd mother’s pet. The older was neglected, while “ Sweet,” tho pet namo of the younger, received ovory attention that iov8 eould bestow. Ono day, after a se vere illness, the mother was sitting in tlra parlor, she heard a childish step on tho stairs, and her thoughts wero instantly with the favorite. “ Is that you, Swoot ?’’ site inquired “No, mamma,” was tho snd nnd touching reply, “ it isu’t Sweet—it is only me I” Tho mother’s heart smoto her, and from that hour “ only mo” was restor ed to an equal place in her affections. A Sensible Queen Some Ameri can ladies at Copenhagen, who recent ly called ontheQueen of Denmark,wero not a little astonished to see that she wore a cheap dress, aud that on rising to rcooive thorn, she laid on her table a cotton stocking, on whioh sho had been knitting.

The Modern and Anrlenl I'lysses—nntl how History Don't Repent Itself .Sometimes. Tho Belfast (Mo.) Journal has tho following good thing on “tho pretty hoy Ulysses:” Away in tlra Groolt times thoro'aroso n little unpleasantness with tho Tro jans, on account of n good looking girl callod Helen. Ulysses tried hard with tho rest to got into' tiio city of Troy, but failed until ho cnnra*R horse- jocky trick over.tlra Trojnris, nnd got inside , tiio belly-of a wooden ltoiso (not a saw horse.) So it will bo seen that tho Ulysses of to-day conies fairly by his propensity to “talk korso.”— After this little nflalr, Ulysses, in itis wandering,'fell into tlra powor of tho grapd Oyolops—hut inviting him to “ tako something,” tiio Radical nomi nee's nnmesako drank him drunk in seven minutes by a Waltham watch, pilt out ltiB pno oyo, and vamosed tho ranch. It wns thought to bo a good Joke, hut Cyclops couldn’t soe it. When Ulysses again went to sea, lie was furnished with a vory largo hag of wind for his porsonal use. How oxnct tiio parnllol 1 ' This bag of wind, de signed to propel his vessel, wns prick ed at tho wrong timo, nnd blow Ulysses just whore ho didn't want to go, dam aged his craft a good deal, and forced him to bear up for repairs, with no in- 8uranco oil cargo, and no claim for sal vage, genornl or particular. Ulysses next landed whore part of'his follow ers becamo swine, witli permission to “ root hog or die.” And for some time Ulysses ltimsolf followed tho occupa tion of swinohord, becoming nbout as bndly off as tho prodigal son, with no futted calf ahead. Ho was so con stantly with liis swiho that ho edmo to understand that language, and used it himself, until ho. became known as Ulysses Grant. Hero tho coincidence is very remarkable I At last, in a lit tle misunderstanding with his son con cerning tho market prloo of sparcribs, tho progeny inserted a few inches of steel between his parent’s own ribs, and that finished the namesako of tho Radical nominee. This is supposed to forecast the fate of tho present Ulysses Grant. If lie don’t go the wholo hog, Bon. Butlor will have him impeached. . Tlte J’otrer of a Worth A mother, on the green lulls of Yor- mont; was holdibg. by the right hand a son, sixteen years old, mad with the lovo of tho sea.
