Of the country override all considerations

needed alike to stimulate the sluggish, to

be powerless TO effect permanent or ex-
tensive good. And who among US does

peremptory or continuous pressure from

REVERSES OF FORTUNE.

There is no country in the world where
men meet with frequent reverses of for
tune as in this. So many are venturing
upon the sea Of trade, navigators, with
scarcely the skill of cabin boy, that ship
wrecks become the rule and not the ex-
ception. Hundreds are yearly engulph-
ed, and we see them no more on the
troubled waters. But there are a few
strong-spirited, hopeful, brave men, who
with vigorous arms, struggle to the shore,
and wiser by misfortune, try the. ocean
again, on sounder vessels, and with a
more skilful helmsman. These are gen
orally successful in their later enterprises.
Some are shipwrecked through weak dis
may in the hour of danger; while others,
more confident, courageous and self pos
sessed, succeed in reaching port. There
are men who give up the first failure
there are others whom no reverse or dis
appointment can discourage. You see
them fail to-day but tomorrow they are
on their feet again, as hopeful and as Wig
orous as ever. To these the world is al
ways debtor.
When crisis befalls you, and emer-
gency requires moral courage and noble
manhood to meet it, be equal to the re.
quirements Of the moment, and superior
to the obstacles in your path. The uni
versal testimony of men whose expert
ence exactly comedies with yours, fur.
nishes the consoling reflection that diff.
culhes may be ended by opposition
There is no blessing equal to the posses.
sion of a stout heart. The magnitude o.
the danger needs nothing more than g
greater effort than ever at your hands
If you prove recreant in the hour of trial
you are the worst of recreants, and de.
serve no compassion. Be not dismayed
or unnamed when you should be bold
and daring, unfinching and resolute. The
cloud whose threatening murmurs yor
hear with fear and dread, is full of bles
sings, and the frown whose sternness
now makes you shudder, viii ere long be
succeeded by smile of bewitching sweet
ness and dignity. Then be strong ant
manly oppose equal forces to open diff
eulties, and trust in Providence. Great
ness can only be a,caieYod by those wb,
are tried, Ig G5 6 -

In. We have done so, and you havewon
the race in two-mile heat. Now let
that satisfy you. By hokey, you did it
well. When you want to try again,
just send word, and well be ready for
you.
As the wretch thus spoke, he turned
his horses head, and before word could
be uttered by the astonished preacher,
the whole party had ridden away out of
hearing. 1t was sometime before one Of
the churchman should speak. They knew
not what to say. Why should their min
ister's horse have joined in the race with
out some permission from his master P
They knew how he set by the animal,
and at length they shook their heads in
doubt. .ee-
Its very strange said one.
'Very, answered the second.
Remarkable, suggested the third.
nmy SOU, brethren, spoke Ridewell,
| can't make ii out.
The brethren looked at eachother, and
the deacons shook their heads in very
solemn manner. III -P 3H'...7s
So the party rode back to the clergy
mans house, but none of the brethren
would enter, nor would they stop at all.
Before Monday had drawn to close, it
was generally known that parson Ride
well raced his horse on the Sabbath, and
a meeting of the church was appointed
for Thursday.
Poor Ridewell was almost crazy with
vexation; but before Thursday came
Pompey found out how matters stood
. and he assured his master that he coeld
clear the matter up; and after days
search he discovered the astounding fact
that some of those wicked men had been
in the habit of stealing old Morgan from
the pasture and racing him on Sab
bath afternoons Pompey found out
all this-but he could not find out who
did it. afr.f ....... ~
AS soon as this became known to the
church, the members conferred together
and they soon concluded that under such
circumstances big melted horse would
be apt to run away with his rider wher
he found himself directly upon the track
So parson Ridewell was cleared, but il
was long while before he got over the
blow, for many were the wicked wag;
who delighted to hector him by offering
to ride race with him, or to bet on hi;
head, or to put him against the world on
a race. But Ridewen grew older, his
heart grew warmer, and finally he could
laugh with right good will when he spoke
of his unexpected race.
Be sure there was no more Sabbath
racing in that town.

Thirty-Fourth Consress-First Session.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l2.-Senate.-M Hunter asked
that the question be now taken on the legislative,
Judicial and executive appropriation BILL
Mr.. Trumbuli said he could not vote for it, because
the Senate had stricken out the clause providing no
part Of the money to be appropriated shall be expend-
ed for prosecuting or OBTAINING persons charged with
treason or political offences in Kansas.
Mr.. Bayard said he thought that was good reason
for voting for the bill
Mr.. Hale said he should vote against all supplies
for the Government as long as theywere coupled with
an appropriation to pay the members of the usurpng
Kansas Legislature
The bill was then passed by yeas 35, nays u.
House.-Alr Waldbridge, from the Committee on
Public Lands, reported bill for the construction of
railroad and telegraph line from the western bounda-
ry Of Missouri, in Iowa, north of IS degrees and
south of the "A degrees Of north latitude to some
point on the Pacific Ocean.
