He Stirs the Western Democ racy. Siielbyville, Ind., September 2 Hon Thos. A. Hendricks spoke here to night. He said he had yielded to his fi iernls ?nd will make this and a few other addresses to the people. He said that in a recent speech Gov. Mortou had said : “ In such a campaign, with slan der os the chief weapon, Republicans must be excused if they speak plainly of the political character, history and purpose of their antagonists.” Hen dricks continued, “ At the close of that speech there remained no question that the campaign so far as Morton could give it character was directiy described as one of slander. No man of intelli gent observation has failed to see that misrepresentation of the motives of the Democrats is the purpose and policy of the press and speakers of the Republi can party. They charge conduct, at tribute motives, and impute sentiments and opinions wholly unknown to the parties attacked. Language is attribu ted which was never used or misquoted and garbled as to impart a meat ing never intended, A cause must indeed be desperate when its vindication re. quires a resoit to means so despicable and wicked. In this great Centennial year, he could not reply as he was at tacked. What is the truth and your duty and aim in respect to the South. 1 but repeat my letter of acceptance when I say that all the people must be made to feel and know that once more there is established a purpose and poli cy, under which all citizens of every condition, race and color will be secure in the enjoyment of whatever rights the Cons\itution and laws declare or so cognize, and that he is a dange.ous en emy of his country, who would arouse or ioster sectional antagonism. In but two Southern States is there bloodshed and death between the races. In these States alone, Louisiana and South Car olina, is the Republican party dominant. In every other State of the South the people hive recovered and restored the American right and power of self gov ernment and the negro race has ceased to be the tool of the party, and peace aud harmony prevai 1 , and pvosjerity is rapidly returning to all. Governor Hendricks spoke of the restoration o r harmony in Arkansas and Mississipi, after the overthrow of the Republican administratian therein. lie said the same story tells the history of North Carolina, Texas and Alabama. Why not restore Louisiana and South Caro lina to the blessings of good government that the blacks and the whites, alike and together, may dwell under the mild influence of peace and harmony? All wise men and pa a triotic citizens, I ask you to judge whether it be right, expedient, or hu mane to continue the men in power, who make political gain of scenes of violence and bloodshed. There is not one good man iu our whole country whose heart is not made gladder by the assurance that once more the Methodist Episcopal Church is to become one aud undivided. The Christ ian and patriotic gentlemen whose la hors have brought that result about merit the gratitude of the country as they will receive the blessing of God. That mighty church will be no longer di vided in America by geographical lines, nor disturbed by sectional passions, but, united as the body of Christ, will press forward in the work of man’s el evation everywhere. In the address a week since, it is declared these frater nized ch'urcb.es have no further occasion for sectional disputes of acrimonious differences. As the love of the whole for all the parts has animated the churches and raised them nearer the throne, so the same spiiit will strength* en our union of States and will raise our country into higher regions of pat riotism and upon brighter fields of glory. Mr: Hendricks next touched on the question of reform. lie said corruption was found everywhere unchecked by themen retained in power, and he argued that the remedy therefor was a change of Administration. He asked whose fault it was that there had been no re form, but oil the contrary that the pub lic service had been drifting from bad to worse. It is not fair to charge it altogether upon General Grant. That charge springs from an unworthy mo tive on the part of a class of Republi cans who soek Gov. Hayes’ election upon the ground that he can accom plish reforms which General Grant could not or would not bring about. Upon this subject Governor Morton expressed the following opinion in his late speech : “ The administration of any President will be, in the main, what the party which elected him make it. If he breaks away from his party, the chances are that he will be broken down. In a government of parties like ours, the President must have his choice of officers. The men to whom he owes his election, who have defend ed him from assaults, to whom he must loot for support in the future, will diuarily control his actioir, and*lie will do nothing offensive to them.” In a largo degree, that expresses the truth iu respect to Gen. Grant’s administra tion, it is what his party has made it, and his party is what its leaders have made it. Four years ago, in my open* ing address as a candidate for Govern or, I expressed my personal respect for Gen. Grant in the opinion that the pen pic had loss cause to apprehend an evil ( policy from him than from the Troth Conquers All Things.” nant snd powerful influence with which he would be surrounded. You all know that the results have moie than realized my predictions. Civil service reform is now sneered at and has ceased to be a pretence. Wasteful expendi tures have continued and official mis conduct has become wide snread and alarming. Surely the President can not be relieved of the responsibility for so shameful a condition of public af fairs. Yet the administration is in the main what the party managers have made it. Will it be otherwise, if the party elects the successor ? Gen. Grant had four years of civil experience when he pledged himself and his administra tion to reform Even he was not strong enough to achieve success in the midst of the adverse influences, which patty and party leaders brought about him. Mr. Hendricks asked if his audience claimed that Hayes will more certainly keep his pledges ? He argued that re trenchment and economy could not be expected from the party in power. He reviewed the work of the last session of Congress, saying the Democratic House reduced appropriations forty million dol’ars, but the Senate resisted some of the reductions, and in order not to impair the government service, the [louse was compelled to yield some? what, the result being thirty million. He asked will you stand by the House, or will you sustain the Senate and the Administration ? Mr. Hendricks said it was clear that the leaders of the par ty will not allow their party friends to be punished. The pledges of reform were distinctly made at St. Louis, but not in the Cincinnati platform. On the contrary, the Cincinnati platform de* dares that the National Administra tion merits commendation for its hon orable work in the management of our domestic and foreign affairs. * Who will Ic most likely to abolish the thou sands of useless effices? Governor Til den will encounter no political embar rassment in correcting this great evil. Not so with Gov. IJayes. This reform requires thousands of places of profit to be made vacant, now filled by his supporters. Mr Hendricks here elab orated on the reform work done by the Democratic House and claimed that Belknap’s crime would never have been brought to light but for its investiga tions. 110 asked : Have you been quite content to hear the [louse called the Confederate llous3 ? It is'true, there are many from the South who support the Democratic party. Is that offen sive to you ? They are chosen by*the people iu pursuance of the Constitu tion. Would you have it otherwise ? In what respect have the Southern Democrat* in the House offended against the rights or the honor of the North ? Surely, you will not say that they have offended you in voting to re duce the national expenditures thirty millions of dollars? Dealing fairly with this subject, will you not admit that it was liberal ? It was honorable on their part to vote to support the Centennial Exposition, rather than suf ter the honor of the country to bo tar nisned and our pride humiliated by a failure, after the Congress of 1871 had committed the country to the enter - prise. Was it not liberal and honora ble on their part to vo*e the equaliza tion of bounties among the soldiers of the Federal army ? Their own con stituents could not share therein, and yet they supported the measure. The House has bcea denounced and do dared revolutionary; because reform measures were put upen the appropri ation bills Ho next spoke of Gov. Tilden’s reform record, and said neith er political nor personal friendship can stand in the way of his efforts to pacify and cheapen the public service, no oth er citizen oan bring such evidence of his ability and zeal to accomplish what the people so much desired. • That fact gave him the n nninaticn and a convic tion of that fact on the part of the pco pie will elect him President. All the influences of the country are for him. Falsehood and detraction may do their work night and day, but the people will stand by the champion of their cause. Regarding the hard times, he said when the laborer of the North asks why he can gut no work, he will not be satisfied with the answer that there was b lood shod at Hambunr, that there was a Moody riot at Newark, New Jersey, or that a man was driven from his house in Mitchell, Indiana, by a band of armed men and wounded. In such a case as ours the ouly remedy of the people is in a change. It cannot be worse. It will be better in every respect. Retrenchment in public ex penditures will surely relieve the indus tries of the country of a portion of their burdens and the adoption of a system of economy and of wiser finance, will restore better times. When the change has taken place and the peo ple shall have placed in power an ad ministration pledged to Radical reform; pledged to a restoration of par va’ue of the currency without artificial contrac tion, by public economies, by official re trenchment and wise finance, and pledged also to administration policies and n easures for the benefit of all the people and not for the benefit of a class or party, hope will revive and confi dence be restored and we will experi ence the blessings of ? returning pros perity.

There was a score or more of women gathered at Mr. Johnson’s house. Mr. Johnson is a good hearted man and a respectable citizen, thongh be is rather skeptical about some things. The wo men had just organized “The Foreign Benevolent Society,” when Mr. John* son entered the room. He was at once appealed to to donate a few dollars as a foundation to work on, and Mrs. Gra ham added : “It would be so pleasant in after years for you to remember that you gave tins society its first dollar and its first kind word.” lie slowly opened Irs v,allot, drew out a ten dollar bill, and as the ladies smack ed their lips aud clapped their hands he asked : “ Is this society organized to aid the poor of foreign countries ?” “ Yes, ves, yes !” they chorused “ And it wants money “ Yes, yes !” “ Well, now,” said Join son, as he folded the bill in a tempting shape, “ there are twenty married women here. If there are fifteen of yu who can make oath that you have combed your children’s hair th s moruing, washed the dishes, blacked the cook stove and made the beds, I’ll donate this $10.” “ 1 have,” answered two of the crowd, and the rest said : “ Why, now 7 , Mr. Johnson !” “If fifteen of you can make oatli that your husbands are not wearing socks with holes in the. heels, this money is yours,” continued the wretch. “ Just hear him ” they exclaimed, each one looked at the other. “If ten of you have boys without holes in the knees of their pants this “ X ” goes to the society !” said John-- son. “ Such a man !” they whispered. “It there arc five pair of stockings in this room that and n’t need darning, I’ll hand over the money !” lie went on. “ Mr. Jolmson,” said Mrs. Graham with great dignity, “the rules of the .society declare that no money shall be contributed except by members, and ns you arc not a member, we bog that you withdraw and let us proceed with the routine business.” How to Treat a lYifc. First, get a wile ; second, be patient You may have great trials and perplex ities in your business with the world, but ;lo not carry to your home a cloud.-, ed or contracted blow. Your wife may have had many trials, which though of less magnitude, may have been as hard to bear. A kind word, a tender look; will do wonders in chasing from her brow 7 all clouds of gloom. Y'ou encoun ter your difficulties in the open air, fanned by heaven’s cool breeze; hut jour wife is often shut in from these healthful influences, and her spirits lose their elasticity. But, oh ! bear with her; she &as trials and sorrows which your tenderness can deprive of all their anguish. Notice kindly her little at tentions and efforts to promote your comfort.. Do not treat her with indif ference, if you would not sear and palsy her heart, which watered by kind ness, would, to the latest day of your existence, throb with sincere and con/ slant affection. Confide in her, the reason many wives seem unreasonable in their demands and unsympathizing in their husband’s financial embarrass ments, is because they are ignorant of the situation. A true woman will nev er betray her husband’s confidence, and will be willing to curtail expenditures, and bear burdens with him. Men are mistaken when they think their wives cannot understand their business.— Treat your wife as though she was an intelligent being. Sometimes yield your whiles to hers. She has prefer ence as strong ns you, and it may be just as trying to yield her choice as to you II - you never yield to her wish es, there is danger that she will think you arc selfish, and care only for your*- self, and with such feelings she cannot love as she might. Again, show your self manly, so that your wife can look up at you and feci that you will act no bjy, and that she can confide in your judgmont. Katnrday Nigitf.

Injuu Joe's"' C up. The pocr unfortunate had starved to death. In one place near at hand, a stalagmite had been slowly growing up from the giouad for ages, b'dlded by the water drop from a stalactite over head. The captive had broken off the stalagmite, and upon the stump had placed a tone wherein he had : cooped a shallow hollow to catch the precious drop that fell once iu every twenty minutes, with the dreary regularity of a clock tick—a dessert spoonful once in four and twenty hours. That drop was falling when the pyramids were new; when Troy fell; when the foundation of llome was laid ; when Christ was crucified ; when th j conqueror created the UritisU empire; when Columbus soiled ; when the massacre at Lexing ton was “ news ” It is falling now ; it will he still falling when all these things shall have sunk down the afternoon of history and the twilight of tradition, and been swallowed up in the thick night of oblivion. lias everything a purpose aud a mission '! Did this drop tall patiently during fire thousand years to be ready for the fitting human in tect’s used, and has it another impor tant object to accomplish ten thousand years to come ? No matter; it is many and many a year since the hapless half breed scooped out the stone to catch the priceless drops, but to this day tour ists stare longest at that, pathetic stone and that slow dropping water when ho comes to see tho wonders of McDou - gal's cave. Injun Joe's cup stands first in the list of cavern’s marvels; even “Aladdin’s Palace” can not rival it.— From Mark Twain's “ Tom Satryrr.” A Thought. When tho day dawns, and we rise and find the sky clear and the bright hours before us, how loth we are to lie down upon our pillow again. There are so many things to do—such pleas ant things, some of them ; our friends are coming, or uc arc going to visit them; then there is a walk or a drive or a little feast in prospect —it seems so ploasaut to be awake. Hut when the dav lias gone,.and the night has come again, wo are generally ready for it.— We are, at best, tired with our frolic or pleasure. Ten to one wo are disap pointed in something; some little un pleasant incident lias marred the bright est hour ; some skeleton had taken seat at the feast, or peeped out of a se cret closet. It is so delightful to fling off the finery it rejoiced us to put on ; to put out the light and lie down, court ing slumber. So, though in the hey-day of life we dread that long, quiet s’umber, no doubt those who live to be old hail it as their best friend. The loves and hopes of early life have ended in disappoint ment ; their dear ones have left them alone ; the life that at first seemed so sweet has changod to bitterness, and ail the sweetness is with death. Just as wo wearily climb the bedroom stairs with our tired feet, so we will climb life’s last steps. Wjc have danced and toiled alternately;, wo are as tired of our joy as of our sorrow, and we hail re pose eternal as wo hailed the reposo of nigln when life was all before us. A Sharp Hoy. A Brownville young man called on bis intended the other evening and while waiting fir her to make an appearance he struck up a conversation with his prospected brother°in law. After awhile the boy asked : “Does galvanized niggers know much ?” “I really can’t say, ” answered the amused young man,and silence reigned a few moments, when the boy again ro eumed : “Kin you play checkers with ycr nose ?” “No, I have not acquired that accom plishment.” “Well, you’d better learn, you hear me.” “Why r “Cause, Sis says that yer don’t know as much as a galvanized nigger but yer dad s got lots o’stamps, aad she’ll marry you anyhow; and she said when she got aholt of the old man’s sugar she was agoin’ to ali the Fourth of July pcrcosh ions an’ ice cream gum sucks, and let you stay at home to play checkers with that hollyhock nose ofyourn.” And when “Sis” got her hair bang ed and came in, she found the parlor deserted by all save her brother w|io was innocently tying the tail of two kits tens together and singing : r* o o “O, f love the babbaLh school.” Bow low the head, boy ; do rever ence to the old man. Once like you, the vicissitudes ot life ha - e silvered the hair, and changed the round merry face to the worn visage before you. Once that heart beat with aspirations co-equal to any you have felt; aspirations crush ed by disappointment, as yours are, per haps, destined to be. Once that form stalked proudly through the gay scenes of pleasure the beau ideal of grace ; now the hand of Time, that withers the flow er of yesterday, has warped that figure and chnroyed that noble carriage.— Once, at your age, he possessed the thousand thoughts that pass through your bran—now wishing to accomplish worthy of a nook in frame; anou iai-ig* ining life a arearn that the soorer he awoke from the better. But he has liv ed the dream very near through. The time to awake is verj near at. hard ; yet his eye ever kindles at old deeds of daring, and the hand takes & firmer grasp of the staff. liow low the head toy, as y m would in your old age be i r verenced.
