Approved Februatj %?t A* 0.4873. 4, Political Parties. Political parties in a free State are not accidents. They must exist, and rightly based and used are most valuable. But there is here as everywhere, a continual tendency to degeneration, and it is well for us all occasionally to ask how far oar party relations are affecting ua in our duties as good citizens. A party exists because it represents some principle, or at least some policy. The more numerous these principles, and the higher and wider their scope, the more powerful and enduring the party. We see organisations arising every day upon transient questions, matters of immediate practical interest. Knf with tit* MtthmMt nf tlwt nn&atinn WHWJ uuw ? ?*? OVVMViUVU|| V* vuv \|MVWW*VM they disappear. Only those parties can live from generation to generation which represent principles of perpetnal vitality, and that affect the fntnre as well as the past. It may be thought by some that nnder a form of government where one distinctive principle is confessedly dominant, as in this country popular sovereighnty, all party divisions must have reference merely to points of practical politics, which aa ever shifting, permit no permanent dividing lines. If this were so, a party conld have no cohesion, and would be only an accidental unity, dissolving into its individual parts with every new practical issue. But tne political history of Dur country touches us that this is not so. rhe two great parties have been divided up 3n prinoiple from the beginning. They bave, indeed, changed both form and name, but the radical line of distinction from the Srst, has been, that one represented the principle of liberty, the other that of law. Prom this, as a root, the party policy of each bas sprung, and our great statesmen have joinea themselve to one or the other, aceorling as their natural tendencies or acquired convictions inclined them to favor the radical or conservative forma of democracy. It cannot, of course, be expected that the nojority of the members of any party stiouia * ;est its measures by its dominant principle, for this implies an amount of intelligence md reflection which only one here And there possesses. But all who are able should do ;his. The danger always is that we lose the citizen in the party man?not intentionally, Out by habitually allowing ourselves to take >ne-sided views of public matters. The partial always sinks into the partisan. A self knowledge of any subject always makes us logmatic and positive, a full knowledge libiral and tolerant. A man who has a clear understanding of the principles he holds, ind testa the measures of party by them, will neither be a bigot nor a bondsman. He will do full justice to his political opponents is andersUnditig the grounds of their poli sy.-and he will follow his own party leaders unly when they act in accordance with their principles. It ie a good sign for a country when there is a large number of men. who, without claiming to be independent of party, are yet m far independent that they judge all political questions upon their merits. They cannot be made the tools of any adroit and imbitious leader, nor be compelled by application of party disoipline to uphold by their influence measures of which they do uot approve. Such men are invaluable to the country. They prevent that allegiance to a party, which, within certain limits, ie right ind necessary, from becdming a blind submission, and they make it impossible for lemagoguee to advance their selfih ends un .1 _ Llf. J ler tbe pretence 01 me pumic gooa. Let it always be acknowledged that a man ia true to his party when he ie true to its principles. I No one is bound to follow a political, chief, however ahle andbrilliant, if he become untrue to its traditionary policy In arrayiug himself against such an one he is guilty of uo breach of faith, or act of insubordination. Personal devotion and party allegiance are two things very different, and not to be confused, but the true citizen will not allow himself to be bound by either. * If he follw a leader and support a party, it is because he deems a certain course of politicial action to be best, which finds in them its true exponents. Let them cease to be such exponents, and his very fidelity to his principles makes him their opponent. But there is another form of political independence which ought to prevail more than it does, in the refusid to support unworthy candidates. Men are continually nominated for offiee, sometimes for high office, who are both morally and often intellectually unfit. M ust we vote for them ? We are under no obligation to do so. Granting upon all practical questions they agree with us in opinion, and so may fitly represent us, yet immorality is a crime against the State, and I, as a citizen, may in no *ay indorse it. No party can J demand of us that, for its transient advantage, j wc should set aside a law of public morality, j A little right action in this direction by Christian men, and the community will not be asked to exault to public honors men whose private lives cannot bear examination. Hartford Churchman. Wasiiinoton never made a speech In the zeniih of his fame he once attempted it, failed, and gav? it up confused and abashed. In framing the Constitution of the United States, the labor was almost wholly performed in Committee of the Whole, of which George Washington was. day after day, the chairman, but he made two speeches during tho Convention, of a very few words each, something like one of Grant's speeches. The Convention, however, acknowledged the master spirit, and historians affirm that hsd it not been for hie personal popularity, and the thirty words of his first speech, pronouncing it the best that could be united upon, the Constitution would have been rejected by the people.

As soon as the parents are agreed a priest, who is always ready of Viond in onmmnnnd TT? fthftntS llhvmn and gives his benediction, the bride then kisses her parents, mounts (he chariot, and starts for some unknown village with a husband whom she has never seen before, the furniture and cattle which her parents have allowed her as a marriage portion following in the rear. Thus every year many unions are contracted by this primitive people, and tliero is, wo mutt confess, a plain nonesty and absence of sham in this stylo of proceeding. One is apt to eompare it with the deceptions and artifices employed in civilized society by those who, pretending to love, only seek to marry fortunes.?Pall Mali Gaxttvt. A Boy's lovx fob hw mothul?Of all the love affairs in the world, none can surpass the true love of a big boy for hia mother. It is pure and noble, honorable in the highest degree to both. I do not mean merely a dutiful affection. I mean a love that makes a boy gallant, courteous to his mother, saying to everybody plainly that he is fairly in love with her. Next to the love of her husband, nothing so crowns a woman's lift iiith honor as this second love, this devotion of a son to her. And I never yet knew ahoy to turn out bad, who began by falling in lor* with his mother. Any man may fall in lore with a fresh-faced girl, and the man Who is gallant with the girl may cruelly neglect the worn and weary wife. But the boy who is a lover to his mother in her middle age is a true knight, who will love a. wife as much in the sear-leaved autumn as he did in the daaied spring time' Loss op Lipk by Lightning?In 1864 Boudin presented to the French Academy a report, showing that in France, during a period of twenty-nine years, 2,238 persons were killed by lightning, and 6,714 struck without being killed. From a similar table of Poey it' appears that in the United States, during a period of twelve years, 262 persons were killed by lightning, and 430 more or less injured. In England 103 persons were thus killed, within a space of five years In Prussia about seventy-two individuals, on an average, are kiyed bj lightning eyery year. In Franos the average ie a little higher. From the investigations of Dr. Ball, in reference to the province of Meoklenberg, in the kingdom of Prussia, extending through a period of eleven years, it appears that one person is killed by lightning out of every 247,200. and one struck out of every 121,300 of the entire population. In Saxony, every year, ono person out of every 200,000 loses his life by lightning. In Europe the danger of being killed by lightuing is far greater than the danger of being killed by a railroad accident. The pert misses of a San Franciscd grammar school have mutinied agaiust the principal, who, to do them justice, would seem to be an ignoramus generally. The girls' gricrr.nees are summed up in this frank confession of one of them to a reporter: "We hate him ; lie dou't know anything ; bo's a j fool, and I told him so?he don't smell good."
