It.is about as amusing to read some of the tafl'y given by the party or gan to its presidential candidate as it is disgusting to read the abuses that it heaps on the oppo sition candidate. Sometimes the tatty is also disgusting. It is too sweet, and there is too much of it. The following, taken from a late issue of the "Manchester Union,' a Republican paper is simply im mense: "Mr. Blaine walked to church very quietly aud solemnly last Sab bath aud listened to the sermon with deep attention. Whenever allusion was made to Lincoln, Garfield, or to those who had made great sacri fices for the canse of their country, his feelings were apparent to all. So deep were his emotions that, by a magnetic sympathy, the vast congregation was soon baptized by an old fashioned soul relieving cryiug sieH. Mr. Blaine can never listen to religious music but his lips quiver and his eyes suffuse with tears. To relieve the pent up yearnings of his soul he sometimes hums a tune to himself." Here the news is heralded to a waiting world that Mr. lllaine "walked to church quietly and sol emnly ."' Was it necessary to tell us this? Has Mr. Blaine hereto fore gone to church in a boisterous and hilarious manner! Now if Blaine had pirouetted to church singing John . Brown's body and firing off his six-shooter, that would have been something to write about.' lie went to church like an ordinary man and we cannot see that for that he is deserving of any credit. He "listened to the sermon with deep atteutioHT'whlch was very creditable considering that he had the ability to -sass back" at the preacher if he had wished to do so; and further considering tnat ne s a man who doesn't like to be "a dlead head in any enterprise." Probably the preacher was a le publicau, ami did uot quote from the epistles of James Mulligan, or refer to the eatididate's missionary efforts iu the guano country, as the bold, bad - .Democratic editors do. , How touching it must have been when allusion was made to Lin colu aud Garfield's sacrifices ' for their country's cause, to see the eagle eve of the man who aspires to till their chair spring a leak to see him uuostentatiously drop a scalding tear into the contribu tion boxf (),it was too touching. We are gbwl that we were uot pres ent. It would have been so affect ing. There is uot enough moisture change of work, is all the rest he wants.

So 1 have the wood cut lour feet aud live feet, aud then we eut it iu two as we need it. Fifty cords wilt run us through a winter.

It is uot much trouble to prepare a frugal meal if everything is handy. The boys catch the chickens and fix theitr-all ready. 1 won't let my women folks do that. It is not a sightly job, and nobody ought to have it to do but niggers nohow, confound 'em. But I believe in independence. I like to see a fami ly independent and self-reliant. I know families who are always alarmed for fear their cook will quit, and they don't know where they will get another. And the y oung married folks nowadays are in the same fix about nurses for their babies; well, nursing is hard work, I know nursing a fretful child is the hardest work I know of. I've had a hand in that busi ness for thirty years and 1 would ent go through it again for a house full of gold. Many a night have I walked the floor in my long, white garment with a baby in my arms singing a little monotonous song, while 1 was so sleepy J could hard ly walk straight. Mis. Arp has done her share over and over and when she had tried and ti ied to quiet the little thing, and worried over it, and patted it, . and uur.-ed it ou both sides, and at last, in a fit oi desperation, straightened up and said. "Here, William, take your child," I always understood her, and took her advice promptly; she always said "your child" ou such occasions, but whenever 1 ventured to punish one of 'em she looked indiguant and said "in child." She will let me own 'em sometimes. I am sorry for these voting folks who ( have about two on hand an. l are just 'beginning to get a fair tate of the coiiM-qaeii cesiofthe combined bli-s.
