THE PLEASURES OF SIN.

There are those who affect to believe that
the wicked have great comfort in their evil
courses. and that the way of the transgressor
is not hard. All human experience contra
diets the statement, and accords. with Bible
truth that men are happy in this world only in
proportion as they are good. We have been
reminded OF this great truth again, on seeing
the account of Col. Gardiner, an officer in the
British army, who for years devoted himself to
seeking sensual pleasures; and in the degra-
ding pursuit was so far successful, as DR.. Dod-
bridge, his biographer, remarks, that multi
tudcs envied him, and called him, by dread
full kind of compliment, ssthe happy rake.''-
Yet the Doctor says:-'sI particularly remem-
ber, he told me, that when some of his disso-
lutte companions were once congratulating
him on his distinguished felicity, dog hap
pened at that time to come into the room, he
could not forbear groaning inwardly, and say
ing to himself, 20 that were dogp Such
was then his happiness end such perhaps is
that of hundreds more, who bear themselves
highest in the contempt ofreligion and glory
in that servitude which they affect to call lib
erty." gHT ~

the cantonment. TO little festival in honor of
the recovery of my health, of the commence

farewell visit, for it is my intention TO take

regiment. The three amateur missionaries

HOW PAUL AND PETER LOOKED.

1t is allowable TO mention that general no.
tion Of the forms and fea atures OF the two apos-
ties which has been handed down in tradition,
and was represented by the early artists ST.
Paul is set before us as having the strongly mar
ked and prominent features of a Jew, yet not
without some of their finer lines Indicative of
Greek thoughts. His stature was diminutive
and his body dsf1gured by some iameness or
distortion, which may have provoked the con-
temptuous expressions of his enemies.1 His
beard, was long and thin. Ills head was bald.
The characteristics Of his face were transparent
complexion, which visibly betrayed the quick
changes ofhis feelings; albright grey eye, thick
ly-overhanging, united eye brows; cheerful
and winning expression ofcountenence, which,
invited the approach and inspired the conf
dence of strangers. 1t would be natural to in
fer from his continual journeys and manual
labor, that he was possessed of great strength
of constitution. But men of delicate health
have often gone through the greatest exertions;
and his own words, on more than one occasion,
showed that he suffered much from bodily
health.
st. Peter is represented to us rs man lar
ger. and stronger form his character was
and more abrupt. The quick impulses of his
soul revealed themselves in the flashes of
dark eye. The complexion of his face was
full and sallow; and the short hair, which is
described as entirely gray at the time of his
death, curled black and thick round his tenn
pies and his chin, when the apostles stood to-
gether at Antioch, twenty years before their
martyrdom. Believing, as We do, that these
traditionary pictures have probably some foun-
dation in truth, we gladly take them as helps
to the imagination.-Lite and Epistles Of 81.

nous Pitan soldier, with shirt of mail, and q
steel cap and cape round with his turban
wound, was leaning against the gate on his
matchbox, and whistling a national melody. l
read the letter, and saw at once there was no
time TO be lost. That man, thought l., must
never go back to uollzar. Were he to attack
rs now before We were prepared, the fort
would be his in half an hour.
60 Tying my white pocket-handkerchieft TO a
stick, flung open the gate and advanced to
the officer; he was standing, l ssid, on the
little bridge across the moat. i made him a
slow salaam, after the fashion of the country,
and, as he went forward to return the compli
ment, I am sorry to say. 1 plunged forward,
gave him a violent blow on the head which
deprived him of all sensation, and then drag
ged him within the wall, raising the draw
bridge after me.

THE SLAVES DREAM,

BY PROFESSOR II. -. LoSGFELLaW. 7s-f, j,
Beside the ungathercd rice l1o lay,
His sickle in his hand:
His breast was bare. his matted hair
Was buried in the sand
Again, in the mist and shadow of sleep
lie saw his native land.
While through the landscape of his dream,
Tho lordly Niger flowed
Beneath the palm trees on the plain, ZsE
Once more n king he strobe; II
And heard the tinkling caravans 7i "
Descend the mountain road
He saw once more his dark eyed queen
Among her children stand; r--.
They claspcd his neck, they kissed his cheek =,
They held him by the hand ats' a&
a tear burst from the slceper's lids,
And fell npon the sand.
And then at furious speed he rode
Along the Nigsr,s bank;
Ills bridle-reins were golden chains,
And with a martial elank
at each leap, he could feel his scabbard ofsteel
Shifting his stallion's flank.
Before him, like a blood red flag,
The bright famingoes few
From morn till night he followed their fight,
Der the plains where the tamarind grew,
Till he saw the roof of tie Caffre huts, -
And the ocean rose toview.
AT night he heard the lion roar,
And the hyena scream;
And the river horse. as he crushed the reeds
Beside sinc hidden stream. a ~
And it passed. like a glorious roll of drums.
Through the triunphs of his dream.
The forest with their myriad tongues,
Shouted of liberty;
And the blast of the Desert cried aloud,
With voice so lcud and free.
Still he started in his sleep and smiled
At their tempestuous glee.
lie did not feel the drivers whip,
Nor the burning heat of day;
Death had illumed the land of sleep,
And his lifeless body lay
A worn-out fetter- that the soul
Had broken and thrown away

why Printers arc Poor.

Here is a comprehensive little article,
which ought to be read by every person who
asks favor of q printer, and especially by
those, who neither take or pay for theii coun.
ty paper. Every editor ought to have it
framed and set over the door Of his sane
tum:
"The public havea funny notion about
printers. They think it costs nothing to
puff, advertise, &c. And thus one and an.
other will sponge an extra paper, puff, OF
some benevolent advertisement. They for.
get that it is the printers ink that makes
nine-tenths of their immense fortunes.--
They forgetth it takes money to pay com
positors--to buy ink, type and paper. ant
lastly, they forget even to thank you fol
working for nothing, by gratuitously putting
their business"

Election .OMcinI.

We take the following statement from the
Statesman of Oct, "a.
(FThe following from the Journal
is more full than the synopsis we have
been preparing; and we give it inst cad OF
our own presuming it is correct. Our esti-
mate, from the reported returns of CHAsE's
majority, was about right. Full tables will
be publis he'd as soon as received:
The EEectiOn.-OmCial Results
We have the returns giving the votes for
Governor, in the several counties, at the
recent election. They are all taken from
the official returns at the Secretary Of States
Office, exceDt the counties of Jefferson, Lo.
rain, Medina, Meigs, Pike and Putnam.
Those Except Pu,man) are taken from Of
fcialtab)es published in papers OF those
counties respectively. From Putnam we
have only reported majority for Medill.
It will be seen that Mr.. Chase's majority
over Medill, is l5,2l9, Trimble's whole
vote, in all the counties except Pullman,
24,2a7. The majority for the balance
of the State ticket is probably between
$4,000 and $4,000; or about 5000 less than
Trmble's vote and Chase's majority.
The aggregate vote in the State FOR Gov
ernor Counting that of Putnam the same ae
last YEAR, is 1906, or only $3.50 more
than was given for Judge last year. Me-
dill's entire vote this year, is 1886 less
than he received in 1853, while the aggre-
gate vote of the State is ls, ,5S9 greater!
The counties of Ashtabula, CoshoctoD
Crawford, Defiance, Fulton, Geauga, Hen
ry, Hooking, Lake, Lucas, Marison, Nor
gan, Ottawa. Richland, Sandusky, Trum
bull, Van Vert, Wood and Wyandot, have
given more votes for Chase, than they gave
for Swan last year.
Ashtabula, Fulton, Geauga, Lake, Lo,
rain, Morgan, Trumbull, Van Vert and
Williams, have given larger mGjorittes fol
Chase, than they gave for Swan last year.
Noble and Richland have changed their ma.
jorities from LocofocOism last year, to Re-
publicanism this year.
We will publish the list, with the vote
for Liet. Governor. soon.--Journal.
1t will be seen that Mr.. CHASE is min
ority Governor, by over 5000! With q
full vote, as in 1859, we think the whole
Democratic ticket would have been elected
The whole vote then was 353, ,000--of which
PIERCE received 10000! We have no,
the least doubt that in 1866, the Democratic
vote will reach 2G0,000l
