The Hayes Democracy. A cut ion report i afloat to day, credit ing Mr. M- I'ncr on of Pennsylvania with the, remark that he expected to he elected Clerk by the next Hemeeratic House.

Some weeks ago a young scapegrace in in Virginia City, Nov,, who had left his parental roof in New York under a cloud in ISlid, concluded to jmt, up a job on the old gentleman nnri make a raise, lie ac cordingly telegraphed to his father in I New York: I. "dr. —: Your son Walter was killed in the Con. Virginia thi; morning by a falling cage. What shall we do with the remains? M. L. Barker.” Almost immediately a telegraphic or der came Inr SluT, and the laconic reply, . "Bury them.” I he fictitious M. L. Barker “froze” to the lop, and went on a royal spree, and j >n a lew weeks after Wrote to his father over his real name as follows: "Dear I'athcr:-- I have just learned that an inis,onus scoundrel named Barker sent you a fictitious account of my death, and swindled y 11 out of b 150- He also borrowed SSG from me and left the coun-, trv. 1 wiite to inform you that ! am alive, an I long to see the old parental roof once more, i am in somewhat re duced rircuuis!anees, the aeemnulation oft lie lust live years having been lost—a disu.-tmus stock operation- and if you would spare me 1 Will lie ever thankful fur your favor.

The Tiiehmond IT/////, speaking of the “sejiieing ’ character ol Hayes’ prornis(s, It is told of s une amorous king that he v/a • so struck with the grace and beauty of an ac tress that he rushed behind the scene• and wished to embrace her at once. “Will not your majesty wait until I can wipe my rouge off,” was her well'timed ! rebuke. And by the same token, while J we would accept all friendly advances, we would urge the recent converts to Hayes to let a decent interval of mourning elapse i between the old love and the new; to await acts and not accept prof os.- ions, and thus not give the world occasion to sus pect that a de-ire for nflieo was the main ' spring of all their patriotic f rvor. Vivid ly t heir conduct recalls t he exuberant and uiKpn st inning loyalty which the “rejected addre . ascribe to the house Fitzgerald” it. the well-known lines: “Bless every limn possessed of aught to give! Long may Long Tilney Wellesley Long Pole live; 1 Hod hless the Army, bless their coats of sttnrlet, \ (rod li''ss the Navy, ijle.ss the Princess Charlotte; <;.el h!<‘sst,l.e liu o ls, though worsted UalliaKCofT to• 1 bless their pig tails, though they’re now cut off"-—- And as we may paraphrase tlie two last lines — And ' ’in V.'nsldngf.on should Old Nick revel The l aion’s President, thin bless the Devil!

A cheerful face is as good for an invalid as healthful weather. He can never speak well that can never holn his tongue. War makes thieves; peace brings them to the penitentiary. The weightiest brains do not always swim best in the sea of life; empty ones sometimes float best. To confide too much, is to put ouf lemons into another man’s squeezer. Foverty is nimble, und soon overtakes laziness. Energy with talent will achieve greater results than talent without energy. A will to work is the philosopher's st.me in life’s success. In all efforts to success in life, expect to bo censured. Vices frequently are the result of good qualities run wild. Start in life on a.small scale. Many children get on the wrong track, because the switch is misplaced. Troubles spring from idleness, aud grievous toils from needless care. The chief art of learning is to attsmpt hut litilo at a time. Envy hides its safest, Burest rule of rage in ridicule. The vulgar eye cloaks its hate in sweet est smiles. A wise man gathereth in summer, hut the sluggard sleepeth arc! eauseth shame. Every man would be reformed, if he would not try to reform others instead of himself. When we stop to reason of life, it takes wing* mid speeds itself away. Nevei be ashamed to change your mind or confesss your error. When convinced of your wrong or evil conduct, change it at once. If you intend to do a mean thiug, wait until to-morrow; hut a noble thiug, do it now. As more miles can bo made in a day by going steadily than by stopping, so more wisdom and goodness are attained i-y CO: Kir.tly seeking after them. Always learn to think and act for your ; .self. Keep your secrets within your own hrea-t, and you will keep out of trouble. Gun. bmtly choose rather to want less than to have more. Merit is mostly discovered by accident, mil re warded by destiny. The rarest hues of human life take radiance and are rainhowed out in tears. Never turn aside from the widow's tears, or orphan’s cry. A little bitter mingled in our cup, gives a better relish for the sweet. Bob Toombs has been interviewed by a reporter of the Atlanta Constitution. The following question and answer are taken front the report of that interview: “There is talk in some quarters of oppo sition to a convention owing to a fear that the homestead clause will be repealed.' “It is practically repealed now, it the decisions of the Supreme Court are worth anything. lam for a homestead in fee imple. I stand by my record. 1 intro duced in the (ieorgia legislature, when I was twenty-six years of age, the first home stead law ever placed upon our statute books. lam in favor of it yet—not for twenty-one years, but forever. I am in favor of prohibiting State aid; I am in favor of restricting municipal corporations in the contracting of debts. There is no -afety where there is no rtsponsibility. It is not capital we want in Georgia—it is safely for capital. Big bonanzas, as you newspaper men eall them, are unmiti gated humbugs. Financiers despise sensationalism. They are not going to invest until they see their way clear- Confidence is the thing. Strip enterprise of the humbuggery of what you call prog ress, but what 1 call villainy, and you have no need to invito capitalists to invest. They will he eager enough.”’ Brown came home late, the other night, says Hopokus, and Mrs. Brown, looking out of the bedroom window, observed, “So you’ve been tipping the glass again, have you?” “Glass,” said Brown, “(hie) ’ti u fanny word; take off the'g’ and its you, my dear.” “Yes,” answered Mrs. 8., “and then take off the ‘l,’and it's you, you wretch,” and she slammed the window with a bounce. Josh B.llinw’s Aphorisms. Be merciful to all dumb animals; no ' man can get to heaven on a soro backed ! horse. The grate fight iz just for bread, then but-nron the bread, and then sugar on if: butter.
