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* eauao he ii> always going round, doing nothing. iail v.-. Large fi.mr l ?.

[Rural New Yorker. — 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 eveniri; be culled when it was quite lute, 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 boil it down to a quart. Strain the liquid and drench—in twenty-four hours tho horse will bo perfectly himself. In 1822, I traded for two fine young mares in Augusta, Ga, I rode one of them to Kentucky, and ray servant the other. Early one morning, at the crossing of Clinch river, yro found one of the mares so badly foundered that she could not be led out of tiic stable. I procured a green gourd and drenched her an directed above, and directed the servant to remain until she was able to travel, expecting that he vroald reach homo three or four days after me ; he came noxtday with the marc in as good plight as if nothing had happened.—Cor. Rural World. Fur many years the French Government have held out a large reward to any one who would discover and communicate a satisfactory tost, other than that of actuul decomposition, by winch death may be infallibly indicated. The following method, recently given to the i’reDch Government will probably take the prize: Hold a lighted candle to any portion of the body ; a tdUtcr will »oon rue. If on puncture it gives out a fluid substance, death hoe not tukcu plaoe, if it emits air only it in perfectly certain that life has become entirely extinct. — DmrrtmoN i.v New York. —lt is estimated that no less than two buudred thousand persons are now residing in New Yofk city who have no work, no real homes, and no means which insure them a livelihood. Somo of them beg or steal outright; but a large number eke out a miserable existence by runuing into debt for lodging and board, or by borrowing from week to week of whomsoever will lend them, or by quartering thcmsolves on reluctant relatives or friends. The result is reported to be an aggre gate of want, squalor, misery nnd degradation fearful to contemplate.

A writer, who says his cow gives all the milk that is wanted in his family of eight persons, and from which was made two hur « dred and sixty pounds of butter this last year give# the following as his treatment i “If you desire to get a yield of rich milk give your cow, three times a dav, water slight, ly warm, slightly salted, in wi,ieh hrnn ' has been stirred, at the rate of one quart to two gallons of water. You will find, if you have not tried thi, daily practice, that your cow will give twenty-five per cent, more milk im mediately under the effect of it, ft „j « ho w ;tf become so attached to the diet as to refuse to' drink clear water unless very thirsty, but this mess she will drink almost any time, and ask for more.
