There's a tnrned-down page, as some writer says, In every human life A hidden story of happier days Of peace amid the strife.

The far distant sounds ot a harp's soft strings, An echo on the air ; Tbe hidden page may be full of such things, Of things that once were fair. There is a hidden page in each life, and mine A atory might unfold ; Bat the end was sad of the dream divine It better rests urtold. Democratic Plan of Organ ization. The following is tbe plan of or ganization heretofore adopted by the State Democratic Committee for the guidance ot the party: 1. The unit of county organiza tion shall be the towuship. In each township there shall be an executive committee, to consist of jive active Democrats, who shall be elected by the Democratic voters of tbe same townships in meeting called by tbe couuty executive committee. And said committee so elected shall e.'ei.'t one of its members as chairman, who shall preside at all committee meetings. 2. The several township executive committees shall convene at the meetings of the several county con ventious, or at any time and place that a majority of them may elect, and shall elect a county execative committee, to consist of not less than five members, one of whom a'tail oe designated as chairman, who shall preside at all of said com mittee meetings. 2. Iu case there shall be a failure on the part of any township to elect its executive committee for the pe riod of thirty days, the county exec utive committee shall appoiut said committee from the Democratic vo ters of said towuship. 4. The members of the township committees shall elect to any vrtcan cy occurring in said committee. 5. The County Executive Com-, mittee shall call all necessary couu ty conventions by giving at. least ten days' notice by public advertise ment iu three public places in each township, at the court house Ooor aud iu any Democratic newspaper that may be published in said count ty, requesting all Democrats of tbe couuty to meet in couventioa in their respective townships ou a common day therein stated, which said day shall not be less than three days before the meeting f the county convention, for the purpose of electing their delegates to the county conventions. Thereupou the conventions so held shall elect their delegates to represent the townships in the county conventions from the vof6S of the respective townships, which delegates, or such of them as shall attend, shall vote the full Democratic strength of their respective townships on all questions that may come before the said county convention. Iu case no convention shall be held in an township in pursuonce of said call, or no election committee shall ap point such delegates. G. Each township shall be entitled to cast in the County Convention one vote for every twentyfive Democratic votes, and one vote for f i actions of fifteen Democratic votes viat hv that towushm at the last preceding gubernatorial election : Provided, That every township shall be entitled to cast at least one vote, ftnrl Pfich township may send as many delegates as it 6ees fit. 7. In cases where townships con sist of more than one ward or pre cinct, each of said wards or pre cincts shall be entitled to send del egates to couuty conventions, and shall cast its proportionate part of its township's vote, based upon the last preceding vote for Governor in said township. 8. The cbaliman of townEhip com mittees hhali preside at all township conventions. In their absence any other member of said committee may preside. 9. In cases when all the township executive committees are required to meet, for the purpose of electing a county executive committee, said committee shall be deemed to have a quorum when a majoiity of such townships shall bs represented in said meeting. COUNTY AND DIsTKICT CONVENTION'S. 1. The several county conventions shall be entitled to elect te their Senatorial, Judicial and Congress ional Conventions one delegate and one alternate for every fifty Demo cratic votes, aDd oue delegate for fractions over twenty-five Demo cratic votes cast at the last preced ing gubernatorial election in their respective counties, and none but delegates or alternates so elected shall be entitled to seats in said conventions ; Provided, That every county shall have at least one vote in eaeh of said conventions. 2. The chairman, or in his ab sence auy member of the county, senatorial, judicial and congression. al committee, shall call to order their respective conventions and hold the chairmanship thereof until the convention shall elect its chair man. 3. The executive committees of the senatorial, congressional and judicial districts, respectively, shall, at the call of their respective chair- meu, meet at same time and place in their respective districts, desig nated in said call. Aud it shall be their duty to appoint the time and place for holding conventions iu their respective districts j and the chairmen ot said respective commit tees shall immediately notify the chairmen of the different county ex ecutive committees of said appoint ment, and the said connty executive committees ahali forthwith call conventions of their respective counties in conformity to said not ice, to send delegates to said re spective district conventions. STATE CONVENTIONS. The State convention shall be composed of delegates appointed by the several county conventions. Each county shall be entitled to elect one delegate and one alternate for every oue hundred and fifty Democratic votes, aud oue delegate for fractions over ssveuty-five Democratic votes cast thereiu at the last preceding gubernatorial election ; aud none but delegates so elected shall be entitled to eats iu said convention: Provided, That any couuty shall have at least cne vote iu said convention. GENERAL RULES. 1. Such delegates (alternates of abseut delegates) as may be present at any Democratic Convention shall be allowed to cast the whole vote to which their township or county may be entitled. 2. In all conventions provided for by tlvs system, after a vote is cast there shall be uo change in such vote until the final result of tbebal lot shall be announced by the chair man of said convention. 3.

I don't like it. It makes me shiver." Speaker Reed has no doubts, However, and will make Lis power ful will felt in the matter. Still, we notice "the party" hesitates. Its most conservative mprr.hers are averse to tbe policy. They say that under the constitution Congress may assume control of the federal (elections; but they should also sav with St. Paul, "All thiugs to me are lawful, but all Things are not ex pedient They would be right: It is extremely inexpedient for the republicans to pas a federal election law for several reasons: 3. Such a law wonld certainly re quire federal troops to enforce If, and this would he undoubtedly very unpopular in the North. Nobody wants to return to the old recon struction days and evils. 2. It wonld fling the whole South into turmoil and derange and pios trate industry in that part of the Union. That would inflict great and IU1UOU8 losses upon Northern capital invested in Southern in dustries, mines aud manufactuies, and upon thousands of Northern men now employed in the South and doing well. Such losses would not be patiently borne in the North, but would undoubtedly create a strong revulsion against the party. 3. This country likes peace. The American people don't waut to have their business disturbed by need lessly revolutionary politics. They resent, disorder. Under Arthur and Cleveland all went well and peace ably ; an era of good feeling be tween the sections coutinued for eight year?, and in that time came that development of the South which has so profitably enpaffed Northern capital aud euterpiie. It is not expedient for the repub licans to disturb and destroy all this. They may clamor about the negro, but the plain truth is the North has got tiled of the naro It has abundant evidence that he is well employed, well treated, is et- ting educated and acquiring pro perty all over tie South, and we. are beginning to undeiKtand up here that he clamors only because he don't get cftic.es, and his repuh. licau friends who clamor for him do not give him office when they have the power. It is not. expedient tor the party to derange all the material growth of the Soutn with a federal election law on that basis. Vt say nothiug here about right or constitutionality these ques tions will come up iu debrate. The gentlemen who are pushing a fed eral election law are doing it be cause they believe it may help their party. We believe it would only help to ruin it. We should not caie much about that, but we do not like the thought of a measure which will, first of all, derange and frus trate industry in the South and bring great and needless losses in the Norih. We prefer peace and patience". The negro is doing well only he is getting no offices. A. Y. Herald. A Terrible Warning Census Taker Are you a maid or wife, widow, orphan, single or man ried?

If there are any happy families it seems as it it should bo good far mers But there ate several pre requisites to constitute a happy far mer. It is utterly impossible ro be a good farmer or a happy mn withi out a good wife. One noon-mint without th? other, and tbey nm: be just suited for each other in in dustry, temper and taste. Tbe must have a good farm, not larye, a comfortable house; ntat and ap propriate. Tby n:!st be out of debt, and their farm must be suda-, bly stocked with the most profitable breed of each clai-s.

This should be cou tinued to old age, and into eternity. When peace, harmony, and concord thus reign supreme throughout all of the departments of hou.e and faini, the flowers on the lawn will bloom fresher and sweeter, the sky will bend over the farm with a mote benign benediction, the cows will not lefuse their milk, nor females of the.kine or equidf cast their foal untimely, blight will not affect the finest graiu, nor smut blast corn, and the rain aud sunshine will bless tbe earth io due season. , Old Homestead.

I wish it were in my power to j persuade young girls who wonder ! tiwy sbail do to earn tbeir j ,ivin thf r- is really better to noose some hnsiness that 13 in the hue of a woman's natural work. There is a preat repugnance at tbe thought of being a servant, but a girl is no leas a servant to the man who owns the hop where she stands behind the counter all dny than she is when-td.e w iits upon the fable or cooks the Jinner iu a going ont toserice. The wase are better, the fieedom at d liberty are double in one what, they are in the other. If, instead of the sham service that is given by ignorant aud leally overpaid servants to day, sensible New England giila who are anxious to be taking care of themselves and earning good wages, would fit thanwelves at the cooking school., or in any way tbey found available, they would not long wait for employment, and they would I e valued immensely by their employers. When one realizes how hard it is to find good womeu for every kind of work iu our houses, and what prices many rich people are more than willing to pay if tbey can be well suited, it isa wonder more girls are not ready to seize the chances. It is because such work has been almost always so carelessly, and badly doue that it has fallea into disrepute and the doers of it have takeu such low rank. Nobody takes the trouble to tit herself properly, but women trust to being taught aud finding out their duties after they assume such positions not before. Sarah Orne Jeuett, in Congreyationalist. The Theory of Dew. Ir is now held bv the beat phy sicians that instead of falling from above the dew arises from the earth. The generally received opinion tha? htr dew is formed of vapor existing r the time in the atmosphere muit be given up for the established fad that the vapor which arises from the heated earth is trapped by the cold surfaee earth. Besides, when we imagine that on a cool evening after a suN try day in t-ummer our tt-et are being wet by the dew on the grass, we make a grave mistake. For that moistnro on the grass i.s not dew at all, it is false dew in reality the traupired humor of the plant. The drops at the tips, which glisten diamond like, are not dew;loe examination shows that these crys talline Hpheres are all Mtuated at the points where the veiueoftbe leaves cut the outer edge-. These drops only iive evidence of tie vitality of" t he plant. The diti'.-renee between the true dew on the gras and the exuded drops through the veiiiH from with in the gras, cdii lie easily distin guished, for the former is distribu ted all over the blade in a moist ti!m ; whereas the latter are of some size, and are situated near the tips ot the blade. Altered, then, is tbe meaning of the line: "Ilka blade grafis keeps its ain drap o' dew," tor tho-e brilliant Mobules on the p-ta', tdiakiug to the Hme sweet air, aud often "gliding at once all fragrance into onf," are no dew drops, but are exudations of the healty plants. They give evidence of the elixir vitiB of vegetation; whereas, the true de--v is the pearly luster, varnished in filmy humidity over the blades by that wonderoui alchemy which transforms the xater vapor iwng from the ground into the plant refreshing dew. Good Words. A German Statistician finds fault with American women because he I estimates that har tbey spend in j cosmetic every year would paint 1 37.000 houses at 575 a house. Well, if American women would rather paiut themselves than paint houses haven't they got a perfect right to do so ? An artistically painted wo man is a much prettier thing to look at than a painted bouse any day, and besides this who wants to paint 37,000 houses at S75 a home auy how ? Wilmington Star.
