Once thisbad littlo
boy stole the key
to the pantry and slipped in there and
helped himself to some jam, and filled the
vessel with tar so that his mother wouldu t
know the difference; but all at once a
terrible feeling didu't como over him, "Is
mother's jam? And then he didu't kneel
down all alone and promise never to be
wicked any more, aud rise .up with a
ih'Sk. IwpPjr heart, and go and tell his
mother about it, and Le blessed ,uy her
tears of pride and thankfulness iu her
eyes. o: that is the way wtin aiioiner
bad boys in the books, but it happened
otherwise with this Jim. strangely enough,
lie ate the jam, and said it was bully, in
ins siulul, vulgar way; aud he put iu the
ur ana ala mat u was
and -aid that it was bully too, and
J laughed, and observed that the old woman
would &et up and nort when the found
it out: and when the utu find it out he
Jeuicd knowing anything about it, aud
she whipped huu severely, aud he did the

church in Pari between a very noble
.. .. .
genucman and lady, a uU anions the crowd
that gathered outside to see this splendid
bridal party was a miserable beggnr
about twelve year old. Now in Paris
every one who has not something to sell
is carried off to a police houc if they
stop in the strectas this ono did andac-
jcordinly ait officer was just asking her if
Ishe had anything to dir.oso of, and the
poor thing was trembling in every limb
tur tear of imprtsoniuent, when a sweet
littlo girl, a sinter of the bride, happened
to overhear the policeman as she paancd
tc
bo
or
her, said, Yes, sho has these flawcrs, but
h)aks too much aud 1 cannot b iy them."
As sh turned to co on, an old gentleman
who mw and understood it all, stepped
forward, and putting a gold picco in
the
poor child's palm, remarked, "I will give
you twenty francs for it," and presented

The subject of female voting is agit
ated in several of the Northern States.
Well, if tho negroes must vote, it seems
a if white women should have tho same
Erivilcge, bo es not to be domineered over
y the negroes. But. if white women
vote, the Radicals will not bo satisfied
for a day until they enfranchise the black
women. So wo don't ce that whito fe
male suffrage would help tho whito wom
en much, A rare condition of things we
should have at the polls. Tho scene would
bo pictursnue. It might attract specta
tors from Europe and all tho islands of
the sea.
Senator Sherman would evidently
like to be a conservative. Ue occasionally
plant l:Imolf with Apparent flrmnes.! up
on conservative ground, but, sooner or
later, he yields to radical pressure. He
would be a strong aud influential man if
he had anything but a bull-rush or a tew
string for a backbone.
There are several crevasses in the lev
ees of the Mississippi, and the people arc
doings what they can to close them up. -There
arc several in the Federal treasury
and tho Radical Congress has been busy
in widening them.
Why cannot somo enterprising Yankee
get up a ballot-box aud assortment of bal
lots and take over a few negroes to the
Paris Exhibition to entertain the world
with a specimen of negro voting? It
would be a feature.
Hold on, IJovs. Hold on to. your
tonguo when are just ready to swear, lie,
or speak harshly, or uie any improper
word.
Hold on to your hand, when you are
ready to strike, steal, or do any improper
act.
Hold on to your foot when you are on
the point of kicking, running away from
study, or pursuing the path of orror,
shame or crime.
Hold on to your anger when you are
angry, excited, or imposed upon, or others
arc angry about you.
Hold on to your heart when evil per
sons seek your company and invite you to
join tneir games, rnirtu.or revelry.
Hold on to your namo at all times, for
it i more valuable to you than gold, high
pcos or fashionable attire.

ADDRESS OP HON. L. F. GROVER,
DELIVERED AT ALBANY, JULY A, 1867.
Fellow-cititens of Linn county Ladies awl
ueniicmen :
This is the birth-day of our great Jlenub-
lie. On this day a new government was
given to mankind, and n new era was marked
in the poogress of civilization. It was on
this day that the aspirations, struggles and
hopes of ideal liberty broke awfly from en
tablihcd forms and asserted themselves in
a real, living, clf-sutairiiri Government.
Ihe germ or regulatcfl JilertT, planted
far away In centuries gone, taking root,
ftomctimcs upon the barren lands of mon
archy, and sometime amid the tares of ty-
ranny, naa aevciopea hut little growth and
produced but littlo fruit ; but wfienthe need
wan cast upon American soil, forthwith it
sprnng up, bating an hundred ft Ad.
The elements of our Constitution are
traceable to dim aget, and the bulwarks of
our liberties are planted upon Magna Charta.
At the period of our Kevolutn.n it was not
so much an aertirn of new principles, or a
demand of rights before withheld, as it was
tho occasion of asserting principles and de
manding rights desired to bo secured, which
led to our present form of government. Our
fathers began by initing upon what they
called the righU of Englishmen, and ended
by realising the practical rights of Ameri
can!.. Excepting thebitternesi Engendered by the
war, the body of the people wan the same lic
fore tho war as after it, and embued alike
with the spirit of liberty. The thorough
denomination of enlightened views and a full
acceptance of liberal principles in govern
ment, had fitted the colormts for our present
form of Conittitution and mode them ready
for its establishment. They had, in fact,
established incipient republic. Long before
the Revolution our fathers had elected local
legiilaturei and made and enforced theirown
laws subject, it is true, in most instances
to authority and limitation of ItoTal charters,
but oten with no other authority or limit
than their own willa.
Tho Declaration of Independence to which
you have jat listened, is of ite'f an evi
dence of what right the American colonist
claimed to excrcme, befr interruption and
denial by the arbitrary Ministry of George
the rourtb. It ia ceclarel:
IIo has refused his assent to laws the
most whsdesome un-i necessary for the public
god.
'lie has dissolved representative liousc
repeatedly, f jr oppoing with manly firmness
hie innovation of the rights of the people.
"He has obstructed the administration of
justice by refusing hh-t absent to laws estab
lishingjudiciary powcra."
When it is understood that the "laws" re
ferral to in tbi Declaration were the law
framed by the colonists themselves. -and that
they denied the right of tho King arid his
ministry to review or to vcfc thoc laws, it
will be readily underfcto'xl to what degree of
civil liberty our Ancestors had attained be
fore the Revolution.
Antither complaint against the British
King wa : "He has endeavored to prevent
the population of these State? fur that pur
pose obstructing the law of naturalisation
of f iroigner." The instinctive belitf of the
wa to be a countrr of greater freedom than
any other, had drawn to our nhore itnmi-

certainty with which our present high desti

were composed, we acknowledge that a pow

t I cannot hesitate to conclude that at na
time subsequent to the substantial planting
of the early American settlements, could an
immediate, monarchial government have ex.
iated within our borders, nor could a present
imperial ruler have vcintd fur a sfnele day -unsupported
by furtign power. This land
was devoted by nature to free government,
and all the chocks and hindrances placed in
theway of its course were only so many occa s
sions for the country to show its power over
them.
While the Republican form is one known
in the history of past governments, the type
or our own is generic in itself j it is identi
cal, and has the power of reproduction. If
a stroke of annihilation should to-day re
move every public office in the land, and tho,
lfcwsi and archives be destroyed, there would
be no revolution no change ; tut, again "
like officers would be elected and like lawa
would be enacted by the people. If the pop

Look back t wtnty-fi re years, when some
