Senator Cain and tiie Radical Politicians.?"Daddy Cain," the colored senator from Charleston, tells the colored people, in the last number of the Missionary Record, that they must change their policy and elect honest men to office. He says: ''Colored men must place their eyes on every office now filled by men who have leaped into them by tho means of fraud and corruption. Remember that none of them have benefitted your race oue son maikrc, and yet you have foistcred them into office, and are now walking about the streets, penniless, homeless, and without a prospect of ever attaining anything. Each man you hare elevated to office r? ceives his thousands of dollars yeurly, yet not one dollar of that means is placed within your reach. What enterprise have they engaged in which will give one colored man a dollar ? Not one of these men has done anything with his means to augment the wealth of the State or encourage any enterpnse which would give employment to a man in this Sate Colored mcu must change their policy and eucouragc such uien in public affair s as will give the State something in return for tho honor conferred upon them. Change your policy, and make honor contingent with the State's prosperity. lie whom the Stale honors, should honor the State and his constituents by a return to her and them of such measures as will guarantee mate rial prosperity. We would favor sending to the Legislature houest mechanics and farmers, whose minds are uot biased by political chicanery; at any rate, let us have honest uicu who arc identified^with tho country's prospciity and the people's interest." Charleston News. caemr.\kt.k to General Grant. L Washington telegram iu tho lialtiuiore Sun says: For some lime past a great political pressure has le n br< ught 10 bear upon tho head of one of lite tr< a-ury buieaus to procutc the rem val of a clerk who has been over twenty years in the office, and who has become very valuable to the JGovernment by reason of his long experience. The officer was very reluotaut to part with the clerk, and iu bis dilctnuia he called on the presidcut ?i f.pfiire liim. The I arm imu iwv uww,. ? Vro-iJeut replied that wliou a clerk had served the Government faithfully for many years, and was still competent and necessary tc the service, he should be reguded us having lost ull political identity. Such mcu has spent the best years of their life in the Government service, and should be eutitled to at much consideration as an old and faithful army or navy officer. The President added that he hoped ull the heads of departments and bureaus, in making up their lists for removal, would omit searching the records of past years for the political antecedent, of the old and valuable clerks Is Grant a Failure??The Mohawk Valley Democrat says:?"The truth is Grant is an egregsous humbug, and we have no doubt that his election will prove to be in all respect a calamity to the country." The Cincinnati Commercial says: "It is said that the Congressmen in Wushiutou are trying to briug about a ihapgp in Grant's C ibinet. They are ^ootspoken in their opiuion that Grant's ,admiui;>tratiou thus far has been anything but successful or in harmony with great mass of the Republican party, f h y deeply deplore his appointment, *nd express themselves as being tried of bolstering up bis mistakes and shielding bim from the harsh criticism that he so richly deserves. Among the obituary notices of an Ohio paper, we find the following: "Mr William Jones, of Malta township, aged eighty-three psaeed peacefully aw a", on Tuesday last, from single blessedness to matrimonial bliss, after a short bat sadden attack hy Alice Blosson, a $oquui)g widoff pf thirty-five." i A New Discovery.?The New Yoi Sun says: Mr. James A. Spurlock, < ; Versailles, a member, of the Missou bar, husmadean important sc'eutific di covery of auother kind, [lis rcvalatioi are perliaps best set furth in bis own lui guage, as follows: I claim the honor of discovering tl centrifigal powers of nature thatsustai and spread out the starry heavens, an cause them to revolve around the su and other fixed pla'-ets or suns. I w publish a book ibiB coming Spring ci titled 'A Philoxophy of Ileavcn, EarO and the Millenniumin which I wi demonstrate in a scientific way that tf heavens are built by a master architec and so set in working order that syn raetry, harmony, firmness and eternit are the results. That calamity or co Iision ever did or ever can occur amon tho the heavenly bodies. Take an planet?this earth for instance?hut dredsof millions of away from its p^esen position in its orbit, and it will instantl return. Gather the whole of our sola system into a group, and t! cy will r< sume their present Dosition. Bring, i possible, the whole created heavens t? gether, and when released they wi spread out and stand and revolve in sy? tematic order, as now.

Punctuality.?After much tortur ing experience I come to this, that uim iu ten do not know the value of time oor the morali y of a promise ..Why 1 not an engagement to meet mc at nim o'clock as sacred as any bona ? Why ii it not the understand.eg that a churcl service or a lecture commences at th< given hour, an acceptance on your par if you go, of an agreement, and why an you not false to it by your tardiness why arc You not a bad friend becausi of all the little miseries your infidclitj eutails? The world, intercourse, uffec tion, great affairs, little details an cursed ; prospeiity, temper, character life jeopardied, lost by want of punc tuulity. Unpunctual people are eve rywbcre, and everything encourage: tlicui. li is taken for granted that uo thing will be "on time," and so ever body holds off to insure it. Tho first ten minutes of a rdigiou service are apt to be us a inurtyidom ti preacher and punctual people. Then ought to be some contrivance by whirl the tardy shall be made as uiieouifort able us they, and then we might hopi for a change. But in this world it toi much happens that a comfortable stuli dity possesses the sinner, specially i his sin be fashionable, and the sufife: iugs come upon those who must tak< their comfort out in doing their duty J.

A Porcine Joke.?Mr. Sayre, o Lexington, Ky., lisps a little, and i good story is told of him, the better fo its truth. Some years since an over seer of one of his farms t>ld him hi needed some hogs on his place. Say Mr. Sayre: "Very well, go and buy four or fivi th>iuth and pigth right eway, and pu them on the farm."

Thent them here?I'll pay for them, or giv< you the money to pay for them whet you get them " The overseer went his way, and ii two weeks returned, when the following conversation took place: "Well Mr Sayre, I can't get tha many pigs. I have, ridden over th? country, all about, and can buy but be tween eight and nine hundred." "Eight or uiue hundred what?"

In the ol( man nature has fulfilled her workjshi loads him with the fruit of a wcll-spen life; and surrounded by his children she rocks hiiu away softly to the grave t? which he is followed by blessings j"d forbid that we should not cull i beauiiful. There is another life, hard rough and thorny, trodden with bleedinj Feet and aching brow; aabattle which n< peace follows this side of the grave which the grave gaps to finish befon :he victory is won ; and strange that i should be?this is the highest life o man. Look back among the grea names of history, there is none whosi life bus been other than this. Lynig in UeD.?It is often a qucs tion among people who are unacquuint 2d with the anatomy' and physiology 0 men, whether lying with head exaltet or on a level with the body is the mos unwholesome. Most, consulting thci own case on this point, a-gue in favo of that which they prefer. Now, al though many delight in bolstering u] their Leads at night, and sleep scundl; without injury, yet we declare it to be 1 dangerous habit. The vessels in whicl the blood passes from the heart to thi head are always lessened in their cavi ties when the head is resting in bet hither than the body; therefore, in r.l < - ?
