VIRTUE

Virtue IS the brightest ornament OF youth.
AS on the one hand religion never appears
more lovely and engaging than when ii
dwells on the lips aud IS exhibited IN the
lives Of young people SO, on the other band,
young persons never appear so amiabe,
and deserve so much esteem and confidence,
as when they are religious when thoy walk
~ the paths Of virtue, honesty, sobTlety, and
integrity. Always interesting in Itself
youth is rendered doubly so when nssoclat.
cd with the graccs and lempers Of the Cos.
pei A young man or young woman DIES
ttuto Of Religion, may be very estmable
aud worthy on account Of the amiableuess
Of their dispositions and tho propricty Of
their department. But where the spirit
and the gracee Of Christianity nre added, it
10 like adding life and motion to a statue
which wo have admired for its proportions
and decoration. But a young person Of
elegant form and engaging manners, who
lives IN prolligacy, impurjty, and blasphomy,
deserves to be compared 10 finished statue,
streaming forth corruption and poisoning
the atmosphere with contagion and death.

PRESUMPTION LAW.

The Globe, has been attempting to make
the impression, that the wings in Congress
are opposed to apre-emption law. We annex
the resolutions Of Mr.. CrIttenden, in the SEN
ate, as the most satisfactory answer to the
statement of the Globe.
" ReSokred, That the bill be recommended
to the committee that reported it, with IN
structions to report amendments therctt-to the
following effect:
LIST. 40 distribute tho proceeds of the sales
Of the public lands among the several States
Of the Union in just and equitable proportions.
3D. TO grant to actual bona fide settlers
upon the public lands the right of presumption
to any quantity thereof not exceeding one
half section, or 800 acres, including place oil
settlement, at the minimum price of 81 % per
acre, wI'h slch provisions as shall limit this
right of settlement and pre-emption to actual
bona fide settlers whose estate at the time o
settlement shall not exceed the value of $780,
and further, with such provisions as shall eff.
iectually exclude the weather. Spectator;
from allSber efits under this law, and shall pre-.
vent them from interfering with, or partcipa,

The Globe consistent for once.--We find the
following in the Washington Globe.-"One Of
the principal measures of ''reform" avowed by
the federal party that has elected General Har-
rison, is, to render the President mil igeble
after one term.
The Hartford Convention, in 1914, proposed
the following amendment to theConstitution =
The same person shall not be elected Pres
ident of the United States second time, MOI
shall the President be elected from the same
State two terms IN succession" " Boston Pos.

citizens from engaging in the trade. These
detentions and searches are made. it is said,

Such are the words Of DR.. Duncan, in the

congress ofthe U. S. to take some steps tc
protect itself from insult, and the nation from
