Matteson, he said, was still resting under Sc
rlous imputations.
Mr. Stanton raised a question of order. that

Inc Speaker ruled it out of order.
Mr.. stanton thought it was the first duty
OF every family or political party to purge its
own household, and he would twice as readi-

Ior suihelent reasons, as a member of the 9TH

tne democratic side had some family affairs to

SATURDAY, JANUARY I6, 1888.


Thus far the present winter has been season
Of unusual mildness, and although the hrs' and
most disasreeable half Of The winter months have
passed away, We have as yet had none OF that
severe and intense frigidity that has character
ised the winters OF the pass two years. In such
season Of depression in business as that We
now witness when labor seeks in vain for en-
ployment, and the earnings Of more prosperous
DAYS are well nigh expended, it is a truly mat
ter for gratitude and rejoicing. thar He who tenn
Pers tbs wind to the shorn lamb" has so modified
thausual rgors of our northern winter, that bit
ter cold and deep SHOWS should not be superadded
TO the discomfort and suffering attendant upon
scanty provisions OF food and clothing.
The rash speculations and wild adventures Of
the past few years have brought forth their sgit-
innate fruits, and ths careful and prudent have
suffered alike with the careless and extrsragAnt;
but, amid all the mutations OF fortune, and
changes in outward circumstances, all know and
feel, in a season like the present, that the same
beniRnant Providence, that from the beginning
has directed the planets in their course, the cir
cling seasons as they roll, which suffers not a
sparrow to fall without His notice, still rules in
the universe and withholds not His blessings in
mans darkest hour of mental suffering and bod
lily privation.
IAN open winterl" what Joy there is in the
sound OF those words, and how full of blessings
are these mild winds from the south, to those
who sit about their hearthstones these long
winter evenings, in homes where coal is purchased
by the bushel, and wood by the single foot. How
much more glibly and chcerfully do the hours OF
the long nights glide by, when no rude blasts
from the 10y north howl about the dwellings Of
the poor, or rush through the chnks and crannies
Of their habita tions, to pinch their limbs with
cold and add to the pangr Of hunger, as they lie
down to sleep. While
Mans inhumarty to man
Makes countless thousands aourn,"
let us all be thankful that He who is the
Of all goodness, and the fountain Of all the be-
nefcence that cheers and gladdens the heart of
man, has, in the plenitude OF his power and love,
vouchsafod to US such season as we now enjoy,
when the breath Of winter invigorates, but does
not pinch our bodies, and when we can feel, with
each returning day, that we are approaching
without the penance Of bodily suffering, to that
beuignaht season when the wheels of enterprise
will once more be set in motion, and bountiful
nature shall afford abundant fruits in return for
the labors Of another seed time and harvest.

Anniversary SERHoN-On the afternoon OF
the last Sabbath, the Rev. Samuel Clarke, of
Uxbrdge, preached to large aud interested au.
dience, his twenty-flth anniversary sermon.
The occasion was one of deep interest. The
preacher had sustained, for greater length Of
time than is usually the case, the relation Of pas
tor to the church which he was then addressing.
Those OF his own society who heard him, had
mostly grown up under his ministry, and to the
deep respect which felt for him as a spiritual
guide and adviser, was added the warm love and
friendship inspired by him in his social relations
with his people. Besides his own congregation,
a large number of persons were present from the
other societies in town, and several from adjon-
ing towns
The limits OF an article like this do not admit
Of anything more than mere cursory glance at
the subjects treated OF in the address. Briefly
abiding to his sarly ministerial abors, at Prince
ton, in this county the preacher then stated the
reasons which had induced him to accept call
to become the pastor Of the First Congrega tonal
Unitarian Church in Uxbridge, over which be has
since presided
He then drew vivid picture Of the society, as
lowed it down, through its many changes to the
present day. Many deeply affected by his
remarks, and the emotions of the speaker, at
times, during the progress of his discourse, we're
such as almost to prevent his utterance. After
abiding to matters Of present nature, connect
ed with his congregation and himself, during the
many years that he had been settled over them
the preacher presented brief but exceedingly
clear and vivid exposition of his creed, and tho
articles of faith, which it had been his endeavor
to inculaate during his ministry in this place -
then speaking of his declining health, and the
prospect thater long his labors amd =; them must
be broughttoa close, he earnestly Nsked Of his
| people, whenever they discovered in him traces
of failing intellectual powers, or want Of ability
rightly to discharge his onerous duties among
| them, frankly and caudidly to call his attention
to the subject, and perEit him to give place to
seme one ysunest in years. whoaG grsS&tt snsngth
and more rsbRst health should better enable him
to discharge the duties of the office.
There was but one feeling, that of entire salts
faction, expressed by those who listened to the
discourse; and we are informed that it is the in.
| tenton of the members of the society to request
a copy for publication.

KANzAs APFAIRs.-The latest advices from
Kanzas appears to be to the effect, that the sup
porters of the Lecompton swindle hove not only
elected their State officers, but the Legislature
alss. This is contrary to previous advices, but
how could the result be otherwise, with Cal.
houn and his border rufiian allies to declare the
votes No difficult matter would it be with them
to count up majorities to any extent on their
side, especially considering the free State men
looked upon the whole election, beforehand, as
too much of a swind le to do much toward having
themselves represented at the polls. The next
phase in the Kanzas drama will be a determined
effort for the admission OF Kanzas as State, IN
der the Infamous Lecompton constitutions and
for the installation Of the newly elected execu
tive and Legislature. That such an unjust and
unjusti6abls measure, SO contrary to the wishes
of the people, can be forced through both houses
OF Congress, we shall DO slow to believe
Should it be done, such convulson will be
produced in KanEas and throughout the country
as cannot fail to be detrimental to the peace and
welfare OF that unhappy territory, and can lead
to no less, we fear, than protracted civil war
there, for the people will be slow to submit to any
such ubiquitous and tyrannisal measure as an at
tempt TO force the Lecompton constitution down
their throats at the point Of the bayonet, against
their will.

said, " here is Bill" This was about eight
rods west of my fathers. They asked me
whatI had been doing. | told them it was
none of their business. Part of the conn
