from Mr. Glenmorris made her forget

fact that pair of runaway burses, with
foam-speckled breasts and glittering
harness were tearing down the road,
the reii s tangling in their thundering

It passed them like a wild flish, just

' Washington Republic, February 9.
The senior Senator, froru West Vir
ginia is a man who has made bis fortune
by operations in West Virginia cnal
and limber lands. Ho is observant,
keen, curdiul in manners and ready tn
oblije. These qualities have given him
a second term in th United States Sen
ate. He has the reputation of being s
shrewd pnl tical man ignr iu his own
Slate, but has never taken any very
prominent part in national politics.
"II ie Mr. Tilden reilly think of beii g
a candidate in ISMi):" -Nut n doubt of
it," Senator Davis replied unhesitatingly.
' lie is working np bis chances vigoi.
ou-ly. Why, ho bus two men in this
city now ia his interest. I saw them
myself to-day." 'Tilden means a hard
monpy campiilgs for the D-'mocraey ?"
"Yes. If Tilden prevails the Western
idea must be exclude 1 from the l)jm
cralic platform." "D i yu think Senator
11 1 wud stands much of a chance for the
nomination:" "Well, U.iyard is proba
b'y the strongest man wo have, li.it he
lives too near to Tilden fur his own
good. Tilden necessarily weakens Iiiy
ard's chances, both representing thn
hard-money idea. The fiht In the con

and the 'S oft,' and it looks as if the
'Hards' will be induced lo cast their

to accomplish that end." ' Is the l':!

kind of a tniin. Neither ho nor Mr.
Thurman condescends to trirka. Wilh
Mr. Tilden it is different. He will sit
up all night figuring to get this man or
tha', this inflience or the olher, and will
gu into any calculations with his friends
as to the best way ol accomplishing his
purpose. When he has determined bow
to d i a thing ho goes and does it and

. HOME INFLUENCE.
O.ie of tho greatest defects of tbis
ago is the "fastness" of our buys and
girls. And every bit of it is traceable
buck to the hoiues, whero idle news
carriers drop in couiitiinially, and are
permitted to unfold their budget of
g"9iip and scandal. Children hear
morn than is ever believed, arid the
wir ks nods and hints that they catch t
intervals oxcito tho cun-sity, and, to
satisfy which, chances are not wauling.
Hut to pi event betraying that they
hear, they uUo learn to bo very sly, so
learn to bo very sly, so that, in time,
they am able to build block-bnuses,
make kites, or even pretend lu study
their lessons, ami yet hear every word
that is said. It is a wonder that by the
lime the reserve and the purity of the
niolhci's mind is worn out. the daughter
is in just the same condition, with this
difference- that, while the mother has
family tics that serve as a check, and
has the jtdgtnent of maturer years, the
daughter is hampered by none of these,
so I h it, as she stands at the threshold
of life, she is like a boat tossed out
on the sen, without a pilot, save her
own desire, and thi crew, instead of
being all good influences of the past,
arc jist the reverse.. It will bu a
miracle if she sails through safely, and
and if she should sink we must accept
the penalty, and know that it is the
work of our own hands
AN ITEM WHiCH EVERY MAN SHOULD
READ.
Wo have pr -bubly all of us met
with inst inccs in which a word heed-les-W
spoken ngainstthe reputation of a
female has been magnified by malicious
1'iin.ls until the cl uid has been dark
enough to over shadow her wholo ex
istence. To those who are accustomed,
nut i.eccsMulv from bad motives, but
C om thoughtlessness, to fpeak lightly
of Indies, we recommend these "hints"
as worthy of sonsideratiuti.
N-'ver use a l tdy's name in an im
proper place, at un improper time, or
in iiiixed company. Never make inser
tions about her thut you think untrue,
or allusions that you feel she herself
won't! blush to hear. When you meet
with men who do not kCrupla to tnuke
use of a woinaii's name in a reckless and
unprincipled manner, shun then', for
they are thn very worst members of the
ro iimunity men ! st tn every feeling
of humanity. Many a good and worthy
woman's character has been forever
ruined and heart broken by a lie tnann
factored by smne villiao, and r-p.'ated
where it should not have boon, and in tho
presence of those wlv so little judge
ment could not deter them from circu
lating the foul and bragging report. A
si nnler is soon propagated, and the
smallest thing derogatory to woman's
character will (1 on tha wings of the
wind, and magnify as it circulates, until
it3 monstrous weight crashes ihe poor
unconsciocs victim. Uespcct tho name
of wool i", lor your mother and sisters
nritwomei; nud ns yon should have
their fair nani.i uiilaruisliee und their
lives unembiitered by the slanderer's
biting tongue, heed thn ill that your
own words may bri'-g upon tho mother,
tho sister, or the wife of some fellow
creature.

Tfce man only is truly courteous wl o
is a gentleman from principle. To te
obliging and deferential toward thoie
who have it in their power to show t s
favor, or occasion us disc iml'nrr, while
wd r.re surly and gruff toward depent'
cnt, helpless or poor one, w esscnlially
me.ir. To be bland nud acconinii.da'
ing to those wo meet from home, that
s wo inioht be regarded well-bred and
clever, a.-d to be crjb'ied and exacting
at home, is to bo worse th in u cur, fur
dgs never ciuilcscenl to be so
nie in, being (ilwayi must friendly t
the folks at homo.
No one can bo a true gentleman rr
gentlewoman who d ies not regard tho
building up of character of ntoro ac
count than tho b-iilding u( of a fortune,
or a reputation. A until may subject
himself tn the practico of self denial
and kindness of others, and if it be for
the sake of position, place or material
gain merely, he will ho the Ios!r by th"
exeicisej. whereas if ho indulge tbe
s line practice for unselfish ends an.l tbe
benefit, of other?, and needy cues, be
must bo tho gainer by it. It is th :b
that be who would gain bit life shall
lose it, and he who will lose it shall gain
it.
A gentleman is more than a mere
observer of the oonvetitional proprieties
of social life. His gentleness must be
spontaneous. And if the reader would
like to know rxicttv how to be a gentle
man, let him read Paul's 13th Chapter
of his First Letter to the Corinthians.
