A dandy remarked one summer day

If I must-muU choice cither of contin-

A contented mind is the greatest bles-

if in the present life his happiue arrives

grccablc and engaging which inspires at-
faction without the chriety of love is a
much pafer choice. The graces lou not
their influence like beauty. At the end
of thirty years a virtuous woman who
makes an grecublu companion charms
her husband more than nt tirf t. The com-
parison of love to fire holds good in one
respect that the fiercer it bums the sooner
It is extinguished."
There is nothing more likely to bring
tlu cause of moral reform into contempt
than to constitute as its loaders individ-
ual? a large portion of whose lives have
been passed in victious indulgence. Set
a tlieif to catch a thief may be a sound
practical maxim; but never set a suddenly
reformed scoundrel up as a public pattern
of morality or send him forth as a good
rheperd to bring back etray iheep to the
fold of God.
It is virtue that makes the mind invin-
cible and places us out of the reach of for-
fortune; though not out of the malice of it.
When Zeno was told that nil his goods
wore drowned Why then said he For-

Promise or Marriage. A wicked
wag once courted a buxom housemaid
and when h tbould have been prepared
to- marry her decamped to parts un-
known. "Well Aim" said her miMrc
'you've lost your lover hav'nt you?"
Oh uo marm he'l come back for I have
his promise to marry me and in writing

So ont from between the leaves of her

Though hometimes small cvill like
invisible insects iullict pnins and single
hair may stop a vnet machin- yet the
oh'icfsccret of comfort lies in not tuhTcrm'.;
trifles to vex u and in prudently culti-
vating an undergrowth of small pleasures
since very few great ones alas! are let on
long leases.
A' Clever Turn. A Morv is told of
Bully; the painter a man diMiuguis-lied
for rennemot of manners as woll as succurt
in art. At a party one evening Sully
was speaking of a belle who was a great
favorite
'Ab" said he "she has a mouth like
an elephant!"
Oh oh Mr. Sullv how can vou lie to
rude?"
Itude InyiheK ruue; what no you

ABEAUTiruLlnc.v. That was a beau-
tiful idea of the wife of an Irish sohool-
master who while poor himself had giv-
en gratuitous instructions to poor schol-
ars but when increased in worldlygotd-
bagau to think that ho could not utioul
to give his services fo: nothing.
"Oh James don't wy the liko of that

warms to the soft homely sound of the
bare feet on the door an the door almost

A Mississipl Elecllonccrxr
The North Mississipl Union gives thai
following sketch of n speech delivered at i
Jncinto in that State by D K. Russell
a candidate for State Auditor. The
Memphis Enquirer says it is n capital
sketch though not up to the original':
Ladies and Gentlemen: I rise but
there's no use of telling you that you
know I am up as well as I do. I am a
modest man very but I have never
lost n picayune by it in my life being a
scarce -commodity anioug candidates I
thought I would mention it for feur if I
didn't you never would her.rof it.
Candidate arc generally considered as
nuisances but they are not they arc the
politest men m the world shake you by
the hand ask how's your family what's
the propcct for crop? Hcc and I am thu
politest man there is m the Slate. Davy
Crockett says the politest man he ever
saw When heasked a man to drink tinn-
ed his back so (hat ho might drink n$
much as he 'pleased. I beat that all hol-
low; I give ninniinchrrftce to drink twice
if ho wishes for I rrr.t only turn around but
shut my eyes I am not only the politest
man but the best elcctiouccier -you ought
to see me shaking hands with (he varia-
tions the pump handle and peudirum the
cross-cut and wiggle waggle; I under-
stand the science perfectly and if any of
the county candidates wish instructions
the) must call on inc.
Fellow citizerrs I was horn if I
hmln't been I wouldn't have been a can-
didate hut I am going to tell yen where
'twas not in Muissipi but 'twnsoii the
right side of tire negro line; but that's no
J compliment iir the uegioes arc mostly horn
on the same tide. 1 Mnrted m the world
as poor as a church mouse yet I eainc
honestly by my poverty fori inherited it
and if I did start poor no man can't say
but that I have held my own remarkably
well.
Candidates general)' tell you if you
think they are quallificd &c. Now I
don't ask your thoughts I nMc your votes.
Why there's nothing to think of except to
watch and see that Swan's name is not
on your ticket if so think to scratch it oft"
and put mine on. I am certain that 1 am
competent for who ought to khow better
than I do? nobody i will allow that
Swan is the best Auditor in the State;
that is till I am elected then perhaps
its not proper for me to say any more yet
as nu honest man I am hound to say that
I (relieve it's a grevious in to hide any-
anything from my fellow citi.'Mis I
therefore say that it's my private opinion
publicly expfesed that I'll make thu best
Auditor ever it the United States
"Ti not for honuor I wi&h to be Audit-
or for in my own country I was otlered
an ollieo. that was nil houoi Coroner
Which I respectfully declined. The Au-
ditor's olllco is worth come $0000 a year
and I am in for it like a thousand of brick.
To show my goodness of heart I'll make
this offer to my competitor; 1 am sure I
will be elected and he will lose something
by the canvass 'therefore I am willing to
rtiviiio equally with him and make these
two S)hrBt i Kike the sa'ary and he
may have tlib honor or he may have the
hounor and I'll taitt the salary. Iu the
wnyof honors I have rcciWcd enough to
MUisfy me for life. 1 went out to Mex-
ico cat pork and banns slept in the rain
and mud and swallowed everything ex-
cept live Mexican'. WIlcii I was order-
ed to go I went. Charge I charged.
And break for the ehapcrell you had bel-
ter believe I bjut u quarter nag iu doing
my duly.
My competitor Swan is a bird of gol-
den plumage who has been swimming for
the last four years in the Auditors pond
at $5000 a year. I am for rotation. 1
want to rotate him out and rotate myself
iu. There's plenty of room for him to
swim outside of that pond therefore pop
in your voles for me I'll pip him out
and pop myself in.
I am for divUion of labor. Swan says
he has to work all the time with his noe
dbwn upon the public grinds-tone. Four
years must have ground if to a pint
Poor fellow the public ought not to in-
sist on having the handle of his mug
ground clean oil. I have a large full-
grown mid wclbblown noso red as a beet
and tough as sole leather. I rush to the
post of duty. I offer it up as a sacrifice.
J clap it on the grindstone. Fellow-citi-7.cns
grind away grind till I holler
cuuff and that'll bo some time first
for I'll hang liko grim death to a dead Af-
rican. Time's most out Well I like to for-
got lo tell my name. It's Daniel for rhort
Dan. Not a handsome name for my pa-
rents were poor people who lived wheic
the quality appropriated all the nice
names therefore they had to take what
was left and divide around among us
but it's handsome as I am It. llusfcl.
Remember every one of you that it's not
Swan.
I am sure to be elected so one and all
great and small short and tall when you
come down to Jackson after the election
top at the Auditor's othce the latch
string always bangs out enter without
knocking take off your things and make
yourself nt home.
Dan Crawfished out of the stand bob-
bin'; his bend like a tip-up amid cheers
for Dan.
A Good Joke. The KspoMtor (Ad
nan) ts ro-poiiiblo lor the following :
A tall keen-eyed coimtiymnn tepp

wards tlio jury Tlio fellow sonntu'd
the twelve with his iutercMiugeye when
satisfied with the scrutiny turned lo his
informer nml tnhl: "Well they nre a
hard looking set nint they? I know by
their looks they ought to go to State
prison every one of them"
The dau-'htcr of rt hiahlv rcspectnblo
