Over mid Over Ajjain.
Over and over utiain,
No matter which way I turn,
I al\vay.< find in the Book of Life
S*tine lesions I have to learn.
I must take mv turn at the mill*
! must out the pulden grain,
I mu .r .vurk at my task with a resolute will,
Over and over again.
We car not measure tie need
Os even the tiniest flower,
X.»r cheek the flow of the golden «nnd*,
That runs t! r ugh the single hour.
But the morning dews must full ;
And the. sun and the summer rain
Must do their part and perform it all
Over and over again.
Over and over again,
The brook through the meadow flows.
And over and over again
The ponderous mill wheel goes.
One doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not in vain,
And a blessing, failing u* once or twice,
May come if we try again.
I be path that has once been trod
Is never so rough to the feet;
And the lessons we once have learned
Is never so hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears may fall,
And the heart to its depth be driven
With storm and tempest ; we need tbeui all
To remlor us meet for Heaven.
Politeness in Business.
There ia a good deal of sound philosophy in
the following which wo extract from the col
utnn of ‘‘Wall Nuts’' in the Christian liegietcr :
“What a pleasant tiling it is to deal with
pleasant men ! llow much a tone help** a trade,
reconcile* you to a price, and sends you off
with a nearer feeling of an equivalent for your
outlay. A smile and a ‘thank you’ go a grent
way, and when they are so cheap, cost so little,
and go so far, one wonders that they arc so
dear, and that so little of minor courtesies on"
t*'r into the intercourse and interests of men.
It hi a very pleasant thing to go out of h store
vviih the sense of a favor conferred. Indeed
one stands a little pretty evident cheating with
a placid complacency, only tho cheater adds
the suavity of manner and of tone to his art.
And what an art that h; which makes you buy
when von had determined not to, sod recon
cile* you to a price you know to ho not only
abominable, hut one you ought not to pay !
! i there a harder thing to faco than that very
ii!*ddi<*u ; ; store-phrase, ‘ls there anything elr-o
to day V Only let a man get the right tone
and umimi't, and you have more moral courage
D y '] le if you don’t begin to be
rather ashamed «»f the nuallnoss of your order
or ytr.r jiiifcha«-e, look about and remember
that there is something else, and so run up
your ld!l or depjete your pocket hook from
want of courage to meet a stereotyped business
phrase—the moral history of which your
t inii' iitor perfectly understands. llow mean
: man f’< Ms when, walking home, he realizes
the little trick of trade to which he has muc>
cum bed !' 1
Democratic Cowardice.
Now that Grant is elected President, (says
the X V. Democrat,) it is humiliating to know
that hero and there in all parts of the country
are men who have professed to ho Democrats,
plotting and planning for place or position
under him in any capacity. They wish to be
pos'.mastcrs, clerks, agents, consuls, collectors,
anything to hold some office. And they say
they were original Grant men, or they did
nothing to make Democratic votes, or they in
fluene.ed Democrats to stay from the polls, or to
vote for Grant.
“The Democrat who would apply for office
under Grant, or during "his administration,
deserves twenty months in pillory, and a hun
dred lashes a month. We are disgusted with
finch political dead-beats. Grunt is to bo Pres
ident. He lias a little job on hand. Let him
succeed if he can—let him try; nnd when he
gives up, as he* will, cut loose from the dcstruc*
tionists, openly proclaim himself a Democrat
and fall back to conutitutional Democratic prin.
ciplcs- then will he time enough for Democrats
to offer their services. If Grant appoints
Democrats to office, he deserves hanging in
effigy by tho Republicans who elected him.”
Knocking away Props.
‘ S<-e father,” said a lad, who was walking
with his father, “they are knocking nwav the
props from under the bridge. What arc they
doing that for? Won’t tho bridge fall?”
“They arc knocking them away,” said the
father, “that tho timbers may rest more firmly
upon the stone piers, which arc now finished,”
God often takes away our earthly props, that
we may rest more firmly upon him. God some
times takes away a man's health, that he may
rest upon him for Iris daily bread. Before his
health failed, though, he perhaps, repeated
daily the words, “Give us this day our daily
bread :” he looked to his industry for that
which he asked of God. That prop toeing
taken away, lie rests wholly upon God’s bounty.
When he receives his bread, he receives it ae a
gift of God.
God takes away our friends, that we may
look to him for sympathy. When our affeo
tions were exercised upon objects around u«,
when we rejoiced in their abundant sympathy,
we did not feel the need of Divine sympathy.
But when they were taken away, we fait our
need of God's sympathy and avpport. We are
brought to realize that he alone could give
support, nnd prove an adequate protection for
the soul. Thus are our earthly props removed
that wo may rest firmly and wholly upon God.
Why is a weathercock like a loafer? Be*

r ou Id n’t Marry .4. Mechanic.
A y | ug man commenced visiting a y nine
woman, -id appeared to be well pleased. Olio

ii. ' ....... H .--ly t- vhero Lu
hud l.sen.
“I had to work to night."
‘Wiiat! do yon work f'.r a living?' she in
quired, with astonishment.
Certainly, replied the young man, I am a
mechanic.
I dislike the name of a mechanic, nnd she
turned up her nose,
That, was the list time he visited that young
lady. Me is now a wealthy until anil has one
of tho best women in the country far Ids wife.
The lady who disliked tho name of u me
chanic is now the wife of a miserable fool—a
regular vagrant about grog shops, and the soft
verdant silly, miserable girl is obliged to take
in washing in order to support herself and
her children.
You dislike the name of a mechanic, eh !
You whose brothers arc but well dressed loaf
ers. We pity the girl who has so little brains,
who is so verdant, so soft as to think less of a
young man for being a mechanic—one of
God s noblemen—the most honorable and dig
nified personage of heaven’s creatures.
Beware, young ladies how you trout young
men who work for a living, for you may one
day be menial to one of them yourself.
Far better to discharge the well-fed pauper
with all his rings, jewelry, braionners nnd
pomposity, and take to your affections the
callous handed, intelligent and industrious
mechanic.
Thousands have bitterly regretted their folly
who have turned their hacks to fionehty. A
few years have taught a severs lesson.
John C. Breckenrldge.
John C. Brcekenridgc is not rich. He is
poor; but is not a seeker of office. It is quite
possible that lie might have returned home
any time during the last eighteen months
without much risk, lie was urged to do so
by many ; and on on« occasion, at Paris, in
the autumn of 1860, the Governorship of Ken
tucky happened to be suggested, when he said,
“1 would not accept any office within the gift
of tho people, if I could get one. I could not
hold one outside of Kentucky; but if I could
be returned to my oid piece in the Senate,
and should be permitted by Congress to take
my (scat, I would not consent to go hack to
Washington, I aiu growing in years, and have
keen losing in fortune. My family ie increas
ing—l need money, an.l look to my profession,
sot only as the surest, but as the most suita
ble and available and agreeable means of pro
viding it.” In sj.sr.Hns thus we doubt not he
was sincere. His enemies wiil give him credit
fur a keen, discriminating judgment, for the
striete»t personal integrity, and for remarkable
prudence. — [Lou. Cour Jour.
Baron Bramwell, in a trial at Leeds, Eng.,
instructed the jury to give moderate .damage,
fur a case of breach of promise of marriage.—
lie said it was a nio»t mischievous thing “to
frighten a man into marrying a woman he did
not like by hoary damages. It was much bet
ter fur the girl that lie should find out his dis
like before than after.” Seusibic Judge tha 1 .
Disagreeable Women.
A disagreeable woman is iike a vacuum;
there is no place for her in nature. She is a
parody upon herself. If there is a touch of
beauty about her. she gives those sha meets
the sort of shock one would feel on ta
king whatone would call wine, and it is really
vinegar. Fortunately site very seldom is beau
tiful, in the true sense of the word. Nature
does not lend itself to shams. It is pitilessly
exacting. SwsotnCss of face must result from
sweetness of disposition. The face is not a
mask, but a mirror. It reveals everything
with terrible ingenuousness. Amiability is
not to be simulated to the observant eye. You
cannot stamp the marks, the lines, the Slowing
curves of the agreeable on your face, unless
you have the quality in your breast. Fur this
reason the disagreeable woman is never really
beautiful. Her features at their best, remind
you of etchings ; the effects have been ‘bit in'
by acids. The forms of tho disagreeable in
woman tre infinite, but the effect of ail is the
same. In place of attraction there U repul
sion ; in place of happiness, sour discontent.
The disagreeable woman is irksome to every
created thing, ineluding herself. There is
positively only oneway to deal with her—
turn her into a joke. In that way sho may be
made tolerable, like the Frenchman's slippers,
—useless as slippers, but just available as the
basis of a ragout.
An Houest Jfian’s Opinions.
A gentleman who knows his business, says
the N. Y. Democrat, and who writes impar
tially, writes from Washington on business,
nnd adds:
Grant is here, as you know. There is one
queer tiling about this ovor-estinrated man
that indicates ono of two things—his total in
dependence or his complete subjection to his
party. He is pursuing a course now in these
vifimtions that enema to express his total dis
regard of show and party exhibition and dril
ling. a desire to keep aloof from entangling
pledges and expressions, or he is following out
a project of his leaders, who would not bavo
him exposed to the expression of an an
nouncement of their luture purposes, and by
Hint means alarm tho country of itn prospec
tive danger. Though as far as the country is
concerned it is dead, without bravery, without
the possibility ol a political restoration ; and
have you not been surprised at tho fact that
while the opposition to the Radicals is larger
in numbers, still they submit to the rule of the
minority, knowing that so many States are un
represented in the electoral college, end yet
debased enough to yield the rights of those
States into the hands of a weaker party, and
that weaker party held to ho the direct plot
ters of ruin and military despotism ? Ouo
I'iu* in Grant';, report, published two days ago,
expresses J his theory of administration.—
“Troops are still needed in the Southern
States.” That's tho text of his administra
tion, and in one phrase announces the degra
dation of that section and perpetual subjuga
tion. War alone will save the people—not
foreign, but a civil war—in which such men
ns Grant, Colfax, Butler, Greeley, Stanton.
Seward, and devils of that stamp will bo de
livered over to tho last quiver of a distended
rope.
Founder in Horses.
A certain cure for founder in a horse, some
think, is to stand him in water up to his belly.
I have known it practiced for fifty years; and
swathing the legs in hot water, vinegar and
sugar of lead, are all good to soma extent; but
a founder must be relieved suddenly, or the
horse will show stiffnese in bin action nnd
have deformed and callous, tender hoofs.
Water applied to the legs I do not consider
a positive cure ; the disease must be attacked
at the root,by bleeding and purging; a few
drops of blood taken from below the fetlocks
will hasten his recovery. But the most cer
tain and quick remedy that I havener known
is a green gourd. Take a large green gourd,
cut it up ; put it into a gallon of water, and
