Some Ole Philosopher, / forget
who, defines man to be " a beifse that
h2kI bcfsre him, and back" That is,
Creature who poGxiIes the powers
both of forethought and reflection.
All this he has yet is he driven a.
bout, TO and fro, as it. were at ram
dom, like vefel without rudder.-
He has reafon, yet acts not reafona-
bly,. The power of reflection has
he, yet does not make him practical
ly wise. Memory tells him. how
that thing or the otber, he has found
already bitter as death yet :hes fame
thing he purfues and embraces again.
His own rea(on fays to him. Zbeye'5
the precipice ! One nep further, and
thou art loft yet, with ewes open,
he pr2iies forward, and plungeS down
il.
How many thoufands, yea mil
lions of human beings, are in the
condition defcribed by the poet.
Il Zee the right, approve il too,
Condemn the wrong and yet the wrong pur-
fue"
Where lies the wrong In the
heart We reafon from the head
but act from the heart. The eye
of intellect fees clear what ought TO
be'bone. But the family of paAions
moA clamorous brawling tribe,
rife up in oppoGrion and volitiUn
yields to thele infurgents. Thus is
it even with fome men OF great parts
and offended abilities. By reafon
that they have DO ftlf-command,
their very talents prove misfortune
TO themielves, to their friends, and
TO community at large.
Ii is /f5f command, that gives one
of the Dobleit diitinctions Of hu-
man being. I" He that ruleth his
own fpirit, is better than the nigh
ty." He is cen9Rerer indeed, who
has iubdued his own unruly pailionS
and appetiteS; who refolutely repels
and vanquiihes even "the lin that
mott eafIy belets him" He is free
indeed, whole will is fetrered by no
vice who lfeadfaitly obeys the light
that God has given him, and has
the relolution inly fixt and clinchcd,
that his heart ihall not reproach him
F. long as he lives" He is the VIII
eft, if not the greatelt of cqmu,and.r5,
who itrictIy and uniformly main
tains ielf-command. Whereas,
without a Comfortable degree Of
lelf-command, though one had vait
knowledge, added 70 yalt wealth, he
is, notwn hitanding, but pi5lful lit
lie creature in the icaIe OF rational
beings. A mind itrong in under
itanding, but weak 10 rehlt the i'm
puIie of paiIion and appetite is, on
tle whele, a debated and feeble
mind.
1t is out Of cur power to alter the
itructurc of our bodies we mutt
take them as they be, for better or
for worfe. We cannot change our
compilations, or falhion our own
features. We cannot add TO cur
failure, or MIKE even Jingle hair of
our head white or black. But it is
not altogether 70 with the mind.
We ean with the divine helps afor-
ded US. improve and meliorate that
We can keep our pafllons and APP

MIN, Mrs. King he said had upbraid-
ed him for Introducing this woman to
her as his wife.
ftappears further to your commit
tee, from the testimony of Charles
Noe, that it has been about Z or 8 years
since McKeon first came to Lee court
hose with a woman who has lived
with him during that time that after
they had been there some time, it was
discovered they differed very much,
and frequently quarrelled in conse-
quence OF her drunkenness, that the
witness became intimate in McKeon's
family, and would endeavour to pacify
her, addressing her by the name of
Mrs. McKeon, she requested the wit
ness not to call her. out of her name.
and said her name was not McKeon,
but Fanny Haley, that she came over
from Ireland about three years after
McKeon, but was never married to
him, that she was intoxicated when she
said SO, and indeed was in continual
state of intoxication that McKeon
said in presence of. the witness, " Fam
ny l never will marry you, unless you
abandon your evil habits, and if You
will swear to do so, will marry you, .
she said she never would be married
by any one in that county, intimating
she was Roman Catholic. that the
witness has heard her say twenty times
or more, she was never married; that
he heard threats thrown out against
McKeon, that he. would be presented
for living in state of fornication that
it was generally believed by the most
respectable people there, they never
were married.
1t appears also to your committee,
from the testimony of Alexander Black
wood, that the first night McKeon
came to Richmond, about six or seven
years ago. he got acquainted with him,
that he introduced himself tc the wit
ness as single man, and he believed
him to be, as being told positively by
McKeon, that he had never been mar
rled; McKeon mentioned that there
was woman in New York that had
followed him from Ireland, who was
not his wife, slfhough he should have
to pass her probably as such.
Resolved therefore, as the opinion
OF this committee, That the foregoing
evidence addaced in the enquiry direct
ed by the House of Delegates into the
conduct of John McKeon, one of the
delegates in this present general assem-
bly,, from the county of Lee, who is re-
presented to have been guilty of the
crime of bigamy, is not sufficient, al
though entitled to the highest credit, to
establish the charge of bigamy against
the said John McKeon. ~
The said resolution being read Sc
cond time was, on motion, ordered,
with the said report, to be laid upon
the table.

REPORT
Department ef State,
December II, 1910.

The funds which had been provided by
law for the relief and protection of desti.
tute American seamen in foreign countries,
have been this year rendered Inadequate TO
their contemplated object by the extensive
seizure of our vessels in Europe, and the
effect thereof on the situation of the crews.
The advances. which have been nccessari.
ly made by cur ministers and consuis a..
broad, to supply the wants of those seamen,
and to procure them passages to the United
Sta es, have greatly exceeded the amount
OF these appropriated funds. Of those
advances, accounts requiring Immediate
Reimbursement, have AREA oy been render.
ed to the amount OF Is 500 dollars, ard Il
IS spPrehenaed that others may yet be re-
ceived.

As these accounts cannot be paid under
any existing law, it is respectfully proposed
to submit to the consideration of Congress
the propriety of passing law, which will
appropriate sum of money for the repay
ment Of the advances of which accounts
have already been exhibited, and which at
the Same time will provide for any similar
expenses that may nave occurred or may
occur during the preseat or the ensuing
