INTEGRlTY.--The following admirable
article is from that admirable print, tn,
Portland Tribute. We invite our young
readers especially to read the extract
and treasure up its precious truths:
''Let no man expect to prosper IN lie
or gain the respect aud esteem OF others
without an undertaking course Of integcl
ty and virtue. He must place his heart
upon truth, and be determined, whatev-
er come TO pass, never to yield to vcou;
influence 1t is only by watchiuness
and care; by sedulously guarding against
what is evil in its tendency; that any in
diyidual can overcome the corruptions Of
the world and the depravity Of his nature.
A slight tampering with sin; once yell
ding to a base suggesion--ma pave the
way for speedy ruin. Those whose good
examples have been lost to the world;
who have fallen in the glory of their
days, were led in an unguarded moment
from the firm basis of truth aud ntegrl-
ty, and ere they realized their situations,
their names were tarnIshed and they
were lost. Who can tell the power OIL

to lead US into error and destroy us. No

r. S. GRAVES EXPOSITION.

An effort has been made to discredll
the whole Of the publication made by the
late Treasurer, and lasten the production
upon the bond-paying party as an cleo
pioneering document. This was TO be
expected. The regulators do not wish
to give up their candidate, and probably
would not though blackened with crime
and are therefore determined to shut their
eyes against their every offence, howev
er deep the dye. Graves address is a
coarse and vulgar production, but it is q
perfect Indicea of the character of the
man--that he is coarse, vulgar, vain
pompous and foolsh-a fit subject to be
really what he is--the dupe and scape
goat Of Tucker g. Co. That he should at
tempt to screen himself from censure was
to be expected; but then, his statements
sustained as they are by known facts,
the position he occupied, taken in con-
nexion that his confessions is voluntary,
disinterested, distinct and consistent, with
itself, it goes far to establish the right Of
most OF the statements to belief.
Since the above was written, we have,
received the Vicksburg Wing containing
the following letter from DR.. Graves
which we suppose will satisfy the lcred-
ulous and doubling that r. S. Graves
address to the people, is genuine pro-
duction Of the regulating Treasurer.

Total,

This College was founded and has been
principally supported, as we understand
by the muniiicence Of a few individuals in
the lower part OF the State. For The space
of thirteen years, embracing a period
which shook the foundations of almost
every thing in our State, the Oakland
College, with the sturdy strength Of the
Oak itself, has stood frm--thus solving
already the problem, whether college,
with rigid discipline, can be sustained in
the South.
The denomination under whose coun-
sells and eXertlons this institution has
been reared and cherished, is what is
usually styled the Old School Presbyterian
Church. The Synod of Mississippi,
which has the general control Of it, met
on the 25th October ult. at YaZoo City
and we presume that some special steps
were taken at its sittings, to advance the
interests Of Oakland. If so, we should
be pleased to learn particuars--for we
are always anxious to help forward the
grea. objects Of Education in every way
we can.
The following statement we extract
from page OF the catalogue.
Oakland College was established by the
Mississippi Presbytery, in April, 1880.
The Presbytery at that time embraced all
the Presbyterian Ministers and Churches
within the States of Mississippi and Lou
islana, and the Territory st Arkansas.
The Presbytery has since been divided
into seven Presbyteres, which constitute
the Synod of Mississippi, embracing the
Territory originally embraced by the
Presbytery. The College remained un-
der the control Of the Mississippi Presby-
Iery until the fall of 1889, when it wasI
transferred to the Synod of Mississippi
lgreeably to the provisions Of the Consli-
luton and Charter.
The Synod holds but one meeting in
each year, and the place Of meeting is
frequently at a great distance from the
College; therefore, to provide against in
which might result from
his fact, the Synod has altered the Consti-
tuition consistently with its provisions
30 as to appoint Board Of Directors,
having all the original powers of the
oresbylery; one third of this Board go
'ut OF office every year, and their places
Tiled by re-appointment, or by appoint
nent of new members. This Board, by
appointment of the Synod, meets once a
year at he College, and afterwards on It's
own adjournmenls. The annual meeting
is on the Tuesday preceding the first
Thursday in April.

LIFE BEYOND THE GRAVE.--Among all
the fine and beautiful figures and modes
of reasoning that the universe in which
we dwell has afforded for the illustration
of the bright hope that is within US Of q
life beyond the tomb, there is none more
beautilul,or exquisite, that know of, than
that which is derived from the change OF
the seasons from the second life that
bursts forth into spring in objects appa-
rently dead and from the shadow ing forth
in:the renovation Of every Thing around
US, of that destiny which Divine Revela-
ton calls upon our faith Ito believe shall
yet be ours. The trees that have faded
and remained dark and gray, through the
long dreary lapse Of winter, clothe them
selves again with green in the spring
sunshine, and every hue speaks Of life
The buds that were tramped down and
faded, bursts forth once more in freshness
and in beauty; the streams break from
the icy chains that held them, and the
glorious sun himself comes wanding from
his far journey, giving summer and
warmth, and fertility, and magniGcence
to every thing around. All that we see
breathes the same hope; and every thing
we see rekindles into life.

REMEMBER HIM WHO REMEMBERETH THE
WIDOW AND ORPHANS.--An act OF human
ity and benevolence, on the part of Cap
tain Wallace, OF the steamboat Belle At
takapas, is gwen in the Vicksburg Sen
tinol, which is deserving of further pub
lefty 1t is as Gollows;--A poor widow
with several helpless children, applied to
HIM al Cairo for a passage to Vlcksburg,
which the captain gratutously afforded.
On tho way down the children took sick;
Mr.. Wallace took them to the cabin, had
them carefully attended TO, and on their
landing in Vicksburg gave the widow ten
dollars. Such conduct requires no com
mont; il would be well, however, if 9th
ers would recolloct, that besides tho pioos-
ing conscious of having done it, good
act always obtains the appreciation and
esteem of men.

As usual ''it was undoubtedly the work
of an ncendiary.' The amount Of loss
we do not learn. The most notable event
connected with the fire, and for which We

peared in some city papers, we find in
the Pensacola Gazette, which states that
the officers and men of the French brig of
war GriDon, now lying at the port, re-
paired lat once TO the scene Of confiagration
to the number of one hundred with their
commander, Nj. Gasquet' at their head,
with their engine, and hoes, and axes,
Sc, and an armed party TO protect prop
erty in case of need. The surgeon Of
the brig, too, was on the spot with bis
paraphernaIis, to be used i'll case OF ac-
ciden,. Fortunately this latter gentle
man found no occasion for the exercise
of his professional capacity, but to the
assistance rendered by NJ. Gasquet and
his force in it attributed that the fire
was not infinitely more Destructive
