Charles Hammond and John @. Adams,

ONE Of our oldest and most respect.
able citizens called upon US yesterday,
and related the following scene. II was
brought fresh to his mind from reading
in yesterdays Gazette the article in re-.
gard TO the votes given by Mr.. Medill
when he was member Of Congress,
against the right Of petition and to put
down and disgrace John Quincy Adams.
Our friend states that about the year
1881, when Mr.. Adams was in Congress,
he presented petition which caused
great tumult and excitement, and .men
appeared as if they were ready to tear
him to pieces. The old man stood up,
solitary and alone, to maintain the rights
Of his constituents, and vindicate the
freedom Of petition, all the while the
waves OF faction center'd around him and
threatened his destruction. The old
man, venerable for his years, and his ser
vices in the cause Of American liberty,
never for moment Ainched or quailed.
He stood firm as rock, and the waves
OF faction broke harmless at his feet.
When the news reached Cincinnati,
Mr.. Hammond was much moved by it,
and he came into our friends store, and
said:.
"Mr. w., there are two scenes in this
worlds records that are worthy Of the
highest admiration. One was when Mar.
tin Luther stood at the Diet of Worms,
surrounded by all the pomp and wealth
Of ecclesiastical power, and when asked
if he would ecant his heretical doc trine.
he answered, NO. by which word he en-
franchised world. The other was this
late scene in the Congress Of the United
States, when John Quincy Adams, resist
ed the powers arrayed against him. 10
have stood shoulder to shoulder with
either Of those men on such an occasion
were worthy the whole Of my past life.

ABsTEMroUs DIET.

MANY cases of illness, both in adults
and children; may be xeadily cured by
abstinence from all food. Hea daches,
dyspepsia and many other attacks are
often caused by violating the rules Of
health, and, in consequence, some parts
Of the system are overloaded, or some Of
the organs are clogged. Omitting one,
two, or three meals, as the case may be,
gives tho system a chance to rest and
allows the clogged organs TO dispose Of
their burdens. The practice Of giving
drugs to clear out the stomach, though il
may afford the needed temporary relief,
always weakens the system, while alb.
stinence secures the good result without
doing any injury.

tinguished medical ctitsoner, in Phil,

Practical Counsel.

Amos LAWRENCE, Of Bos,or, his "Di.
ary and Correspondence" gives the fol.
lowing characteristic counsel
At the commencement Of your jour.
ney, the difference between going just
right. or little wrong, will be the die.
ference between finding yourself in good
quarters or The miserable bog or slough,
at the end of it. Do not cheat yourself
by doing what you suspect may be wrong
You are as much accountable to your
Maker for an enlightened exercise OF
your conscie.s as yau would be to me to
use due diligence in taking care Of bag
Of money which might send by you.--
"Good principles, good temper, and good
manners, wiA carry man through the
world much better than he can get along
Without them. The most important is
good principles" Temptation, if sue.
cessfuIly resisted. strengthens the char.
acier /; but it should always be avoided.
THE moral taste, like the natural, is
vi,iated by abuse "He whose life ends
at thirty, may havs done much while
he who has reached the age Of one hun.
dred may have done little"

evidences Of that fatal and glorious day
became thick and psinful. The skeleton
Of an English dragoon, said 10 be one
Of the Royals, lay still extended on the
plain, with tat,ered bits OF red cloth
hanging to the bones Of his arms. All
the buttons had been cut off the jacket.
The man must have fallen early in the
day. when tho heavy cavalry we're close
up to Canrobert's hill, and came under
the fire Of the Russian artillery. There
was also Russian close at hand in
CHASTITY companionship. The small, bull.
let skull. round as q cannon ball, had
been picked bare, all save the scalp.
which was still covered with grizzly red
locks. Farther on, amid fragms msnts OF
she'll and round shot, the body Of an.
other Russian seemed starting out Of the
grave, which scarcely covered his lower
extremi,ies. The half.decayed skeletons
Of artillery and cavalry horses, covered
with rotten trappings harness snd saddles
lay as they fell in the agonies Of death,
or had crumbled awey into a debris OF
bone and skin, and leather straps, cloth
and buckles. From tenants have started
through the soil. as If to appeal against
the haste with which they had been
buried. With the clash of drums. and

ELEcrIoNEEaINe.-The courts and the
husking frolics Of frontier State usually
furnish abundant material for story and
fun. Judge R., formerly OF the Western
Circuit, Fla, canvsssed that citcuit Of
1914, as a candidate for the Territorial
Senate, and wss chesred by the promise
of little Frenchman, living in one oI
the counties Of the Senatorial district,
to do. call he could" for him. Not q
solitary vote, however, was cast for the
Judge in that county, and he seized the
FIRST opportunity he had 10 tax his baker
with false promise.
"Ssr," said the Frenchman, very much
offended, "Itsll you no lie {; I travelled
over dis country three, four five day, and
/ say to every man, will you vote for my
friend, ze Judge I" and he say, mo, I'll

Tho Business Mans Discipline.

The life OF man OF business, gives
his character q pretty hard trial. Not
only does II exercise his sagacity aud
prudence, but il puts his integrity to the
severest test He Is surrounded by the
selfshness OF trade he sees men profit
by cunning and fraud and he is tempt.
ed 10 try his skill in aniGce and decep.
tion. Every day his honesty is tried 10
some way. He Is thrown back upon his
inward principle, and If his hear. is hol.
low and deceilful, he will be sure 10
show it. And that man has reason to
thank Col, who has gone through q
long course Of business. through times Of
wild speculation and general bankrupt.
cy, and goes down 10 the grave with the
never.shaken consciousness Of being az,
honest man. He who can see others ma.
king money by fa alse representations, and
never stoop 10 these tricks Of trade. is
fitting his own pure mind for world
that is moro worthy Of him.
And yet man cannot wholly escape
these temptations. To do that, he must
needs go out Of the world, or retire into
solitude. He might, indeed, avoid ell
danger by shutting himself up within the
walls Of a convent, to pass life OF out.
ward sanctity, and lazy contemplation.
But the piely that is nursed in cloisters
is Of sickly growth compared 10 that
which maintains its integrity amid strong
inducements to evil. 1t is not the will
Of God that We should retire apart 10
keep from contamination. Not in des.
erts, but in cities 4; not in the hermit's
cell, but among men, sharing the com.
mon lot. meeting temptation as it comes,
are we TO form our characters for eter.
nifty.
Men ought to rejoice in a rigid disci.
plins. Whenever assailed by tempta.
lion, an opportunity is given to conquer
themselves, and so become nobler beings.
The most heroic uirtues Of the human
character are brought out in this strug.
gle Nth inborn seyfshness. Men NTH
5rave hearts ought to soelcome the con.
aicis and bufstings Of life. -Erery uic.
tory they gain ,oiH make them stronger,
as the tempest which rocks and tears the
mountain cak, causes it to strike its
roots down deeper in the earth, and to
lift higher its majestic arms toward
heaven.--[Carolina Messenger.
