“ yes,” simply because her lover

enough to her so that you can hook
{ your little finger into hers. Wait un­
til conversation begins to .flag, and
then quietly remark:
“ Susie, I want to ask yon some­
thing.”
She will fidget around a little, reply
“ yes,” and after a pause you can add:
“ Susie, my actions must have
shown—you must have—I mean you
must be aware that—that—”
Pause here for a while, but keep
your finger firmly locked. She may
cough and try to turn the subject off
by asking you bow you liked the cir­
cus, but she only does it to encour­
age you. After aboilt ten minutes
you can 'continue:
“ I was thinking, as I came up the
path to-night, that before I went
away I would ask ycu —that i3, I
would broach the subject nearest my

Stop again and give her hand a
gentle squeeze. She may give a yank
. to get it away or she may not. In
either case it augurs well for you.
Wait about five minutes and then go
on:
“ The past year has been a very
happy one to me, but I hope that fu ­
ture 3rear3 will still be happier. How­
ever, that depends entirely on you.
I am here to night to know—that is
to ask you—I mean, I anl here to­

Wait again. It isn’t best to be too
rash about such things. Give her
plenty of time to recover her com­
posure, and then put your hand on
your heart aud continue:
“ Yes, I thought, as I was coming
through the gate to-night how hap-
- py I had been; and I said to myself
that if I only knew j7ou would con­
sent to be my— that is, I said if I
only knew—if I was only certain
that my heart had not deceived me,

Hold on; there’s no hurry about it.
Give the wind a chance to sob and
moan around the gables. This will
make her lonesome arid call up all
the love in her heart. When she be
gins to cough, and grow restless, you
can go on:
Before I met you this world was a
desert to me. I didn’t take any
pleasure ill going blackberrying and
stealing rare>ripe peaches, and it
didn’t matter whether the sun shone

The Philadelphia Telegraph, an­
other Republican paper, says the
bill is a measure of the worst type,
and that its adoption is sought that
the Carpetbag element may tighten
its grasp on the Southern throat,and
says:
“ If the Republican party attempts
to sustain these men in their infa­
mous schemes, nothing but disaster
is before it.”
The Boston Journal also Repub­
lican says that it is too hazardous a
measure for any but belligerent
times and objects to it because there
is “ no earthly need of it if the pres­
ent Republican Congress does its
duty.’1,.
The Philadelphia Enquirer anoth­
er Republican journal, says:
•‘Suspending the habeas corpus
and making United States Deputy
Marshals sole judges of elections,
sole counters and recorders of re
turns, with absolute and unquestion­
able power to arrest any and every
one before or at elections whom they
wish to prevent voting, are things
which would seem more appropriate
for Russia and Austria than the
United States.”
A P a t e n t F r a u d . —It is very pos­
sible that the Grangers are too much
disposed to View all subjects, from
the standpoint of their own interests
and that they7 are not always alto­
gether reasonable in the demands
they make upon the country. But
there is one subject of their com ­
plaints in which they have the hearty
sympathy of the entire people with
them, except that of the privileged
class, who are being benefited at the
expense of all the rest. We refer to
the patent nuisance—for a nuisance
it has cortainly come to be.
No well informed person will be
disposed to deny to genius the right
of property in its creations, and we
do not understand the Grangers as
objecting to a just and judicions sys­
tem of patents which will secure this
end, and afford encouragement to the
development of native talent?- and
stimulation to the ingenuity and the
inventive faculties of the people. It
is the abuse of the system against
which they protest. It is notorious
that in the great majority of instan­
ces the actual invenior reaps little or
no advantage from his invention. It
is the speculator in the inventor’s
ingenuity, for whose benefit the peo­
ple are so heavily taxed. This is a
great injustice, but it is an injustice,
perhaps inseparable from the system
and one which human wisdom is in»
adequate absolutely to correct. The
unjust and unprofitable burden
would therefore be cheerfully borne
for the sake of the occasional good
that comes from it, if it were not that
the greed of the speculator i3 such
that it can never be appeased. Hav­
ing bought from some needy inven­
tor the creation of his ingenuity lor
a mere song, he is enabled to reap
in the liberal period during which
the patent law'secures to him the
monoply of it; but when that period
expires he demands an extension of
it again, on the most frivolous pre­
texts or on no pretext at ail. And
unfortunately a profitable patent has
always heretofore been able to com ­
mand so powerful a lobby that it was
suite of a compliance with its de»
mands.

Every year increases the popu­
larity of this valuable Hair Prep­
aration, which is due to merit
alone.
W e can assure our old
pations that it is kept fully up to
its high standard; and it is the on­
ly reliable and perfected prepara­
tion for restoring G r a y o r F a d e d
H a i r to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. It removes all eruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper­
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands.
B y its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most
economical H a i r - D r e s s i n g ever
used, as it requires fewer applica­
tions, and gives the hair a splendid,
glossy appearance.
A . A . Hayes,
M .D., State Assayer o f Massachu­

cellent quality; and I consider it

serious sickness and suffering is prevented by
their timely u se; and every fam ily should
have them on hand for their protection and
relief, when required. L on g experience has
p roved them to be the safest, surest, and
best o f all the R ills with which the market
abounds. B y their occasional use, the blood
is purified, the corruptions o f the system ex ­
pelled, obstructions rem oved, and the whole
m achinery o f life restored to its healthy activ­
ity. Internal organs which becom e clogged
and sluggish are cleansed by A y e r 's Rills,
and stimulated into action. Thus incipient
disease is changed into health, the value o f
which change, when reckon ed on the vast
multitudes w h o en joy it, can hardly he com­

Their sugar-coating makes them
pleasant to take, and preserves their virtues
unim paired for any length o f time, so that
they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliablo.
A lthough searching, they are mild, and oper­

G o o d . —When Postmaster-General
Cresswell left the Cabinet, in con­
sequence of the pressure of his pri­
vate affairs, as bjh friends declared,
but, as is more generally believed,
for fear that his complicity in the
straw bid aud straw contract frauds
would be disclosed, President Grant
appointed him counsel of the United
States.before the Alabama Claims
Commission, and also a.Commission­
er to wind up the bankrupt Freed-
men’s Savings Bank, it being desira­
ble to have an intimate friend of tfie
White House Ring in the last-named
office in order to prevent unpleasant
revelations As counsel before the
Alabama Claims Commission it was
intended that Cresswell should have
a remuneration which would reward
him well for his devotion to the Ad­
ministration, as he was to be paid by
fees for each case in which he should
appear, these being unlimited by
law. Some of his acquaintances p ri­
vately boasted that his fees would
amount to nearly half a million. In
the.Sundry Civil Appropriation bill,
however, an amendment was inserted
in the Senate by which his compen­
sation as counsel is limited to $8,000
which is very liberal pay for such
services as he isTikely to render, and
thus Boss Grant’s nice scheme lo r
giving his friend a fortune at the ex­
pense of the Alabama claimants, who
would have-had to pay his fees, was
nipped in the bud.' This was hard
for Cresswell, and his misfortune
will undoubtedly insure him the un­
bounded sympathy of all the Ring
mail contractors who were depleting
the Treasury dfiring his term of
office as Postmaster-General.
