HoLr LIrK.-The beauty Of holy life constitutes
the most eloquent and effective persuasive 70 re-
ligion which one human being can address TO
another. We have many ways Of doing good to
our fallow-creatures; but none so efhcacious as
leading a virtuous, upright and well-ordered life.
There Is an energy Of moral suasion in a good
mans life, passing the highest efforts Of the ora
tors genius The seen, but silent beauty Of holi-
nees speaks more eloquently Of God, and duty,
than the tongue Of men and angels. Let parents
remember this. The best Inheritance a parent
can bequeathe child Il virtuous example, lega-
CIV Of hallowed remembrance and associations
The beauty OF holiness, bcaming through the life
Of loved relative or friend, Is more effectual to
strengthen such as do stand In virtues ways, and
raise up those that are bowed, than precept com
mand, entreaty or warning. Christianity itself, |
believe, owes Ivy far the greater part Of lie moral
power, not 10 the precepts or parables OF Christ,
but TO his character. The beauty Of that holiness
which is enshrined In the four brief biographies Of
the Man Of Nazareth, has done more and will do
more, to regenerate the world, and bring II 10 m
everlasting righteousness, than all other agencies
put together Il has done more 10 spread his
religion ia the world imam all that has ever been
preached or written on the evidences OF Christi
anity.

The latter was very anxious to see that the former
did not cheat him. so be (the purchaser inspected
the weighing of the coil himself, and felt perfectly
satisfied that he got his full allowance without any
desire on The part Of the coal dealer TO "shaye"
However, while the coal was weighing, the driver
d the team could not help laughing aware at the
time that the purchaser was particular about his
full weight of coal The purchaser, noticing the
laughing of the driver, asked him, when he re-
ceived his coal what twas all about; SO the driver
told him.
"Why," said he 'when your coal was weigh
ing you were standing on the scales, and was
weighed with it."
ais it possibleg Why, weigh nearly two hun
bred pounds!"
Well, sir,p said the driver, "you are sold"
'Yes" was the reply, and have bought my

me here TO enumerate.
The present administration has done more, in
my humble opinion, TO create sectional strife, and
to retard the progress Of the American Union,
than every other administration ence the first
days Of our Republic. Il has promoted the yeel-
ling cries Of the demagogues and fanatics North,
and Of the bowling secessionists South and
has suffered the quiet aud gallant statesmen, who
had the love of country burning IN q cir bosonls,
70 remain at home without any commentator to
cheer them on for their meritoricus acts, and sent
INSCRIPTIONS foreigners abroad with diplomatic
authority, to the digrace of the country.
The administration has deserted the broad
Union ground occupied by the DEMOCRACY Of 1882.

American party, the p inciples Of which ! am
proud to say TO the world, have most enthusiasts

Having arranged all, as he thought, for the re.

Invested himsel Of his psntaoons and laid them by

used the penknfe partly for wounding himself, a.

Ho ersspcd the razor, and the first wound be
inflicted upon himself was circular cut of about
four or ave inches In the abdomen, from which the

Finding that this would not terminate his exist.

and made fearful cash nearly from ear 70 ear, by
which death was caused almost instantsneousiy.
In his pockets we're three letters, one addressed

Clerl; in the office Of the Secretary of the Com
monwealth, started to the city with the docu-

He had received communications from about

they believe him innocent; from large number
OF the bar, and citizens of various States, incIu-
ding the names OF Governors, Attorneys

gyman, that they believe him innocent; from
the Mayor OF Philadelphia, and sixty members
OF the Philadelphia City Councils from mem
berS of the Legislature, Judges of the Supreme
Court, editors of Phladelp pima newspapers, and
five thousand other citizens Of Pennsylvania and
OF New York, with five oithe jury on the trial,
all asking for his pardon. Alter enumerating
all these facts, the Governor saws:
