State debts, for the liquidation of which she re

openly Advocating a discount Of her bonds,

has been made BY a committee of the creditors
Of Texas to the effect, that if the State will paw
fifty per cent in cash on all her liabilities and
the other fifty per cent, together with all the in

There never was man yet reclaimed from evil
by huie. There never was man yet saved but by
love. Criminals, long hardened by vice, have been
known TO exhibit feeling for the first time when
thoroughly convinced that they were regarded
with kindness by others, and from the rough and
rugged crevices Of their granite natures flowers OF
purity and joy have peeped forth to greet the
light of affection "God is Love- is the secret of
all human and all celestial happiness That great
and beautiful truth is proclaimed in every breeze
that fans the cheek; in every star that wrinkles in
the blue skye in every rose that perfumes the air
with its fragrance in the joyous laugh of the
died child as the morning light crimsons the dra-
perry OF his couch and in the swelling chaunt of
the mighty archangei he battles his pinions in q
flood of golden radiance from the Sun of Right
eousness And it well becomes those who would
"hate" men out of society to reflect where all
kind would be if eternal hate instead OF eternal
love ruled the counscls of the skies Not one man
lives who would be willing TO open the secret cham
Der of bis heart during his whole life to the eye of
man as il is been by the eye of God, and abide by
the decision which society the hating principle
would be bound TO apply Should not this refec-
ton teach charity and forbcarance TO the most in
tolerant? Should they not recollect that the AL
mighty, who knows them, has not "hated'' them
out of the Garth, and should they not extend to
