In recent lecture on this theme, Henry
ward Beecher gave utterance to some most
beautiful thoughts, some of which we trans
plant:
feopie" said he, 'tcome together with
the most amiable Intentions Admiration
ana kindness call forth the same feelings,
and love calls and echoes bravely through
all the happy days of courtship. Marriage,
"hlcn Should be to courtship what the ripe
cluster Is to the grape blossom, more sweet,
thougn different, becomes, too often, bar
rem vine, with neither blossom nor cluster.
we fall to call out love, and vet expect the
echo; or We call, and, searching for the
echo, ind only the cold side of the cliff-a
voiceless stone. Many a man has married
an angel, and lived with fend OF fool; and
many woman married hero or god. and
lived with brute or monster. r.
persons strongly inclined to friendship,
generally inspire friendship; those who are
cold IN their affections, rarely find them
selves troubled with other peoples love-
Some people are so happily endowed that
they never fail to have troops of friends,
while others have none; as one man will
thread brook all day and not catch a sin
gle trout, while another will pull out one
beside every stone or clump in the stream
Some men catch something everywhere,
and some men catch nothing anywhere.
"Concealments may exist; a man may
hide his good nature; like wheat, he may
be Of good quality, but surrounded with
chaff. Doubtless the first man who saw a
chestnut bur disliked the rough exterior,
but when he got inside to the sweet meat he
altered his opinion. Some people put their
warm affections in the front door, and thus
invite people to enter others hide theirs
like their jewelry in bureaus and closets,
locked up out of sight. How often the most
coarse tempered men are the most exacting!
Il gross man wants the menial services of
love, proud man its homage; to these,
love is slave. Many persons never keep,
and many never lose, a friend. True friend
ship is strengthened by time. The two
minds interchange an unconscious influence,
and they become like the two sides of the
loom; the affections play between them like
shuttles, and life comes forth, at length, like
figured silks, glowing with mingled colors,
and carrying vines and leaves in graceful
sweep all over the surface

The balance of Power.

The Republicans, perchance, have carried
the State. but every one must see in the
face of the so 900 majority for Fremont in
1856. and the $4,000 for Governor Morgan in
1858, that, il carried upon the vote received,
ii is no victory. The Utica Ticket has re-
duced the Republican majority of 1856 and
1858 o almost nothing, even if the Leaven-
worth wing of the ticket is successful.
Again, nearly one hundred thousand conscr-
valve voters have REMAINED at home in
1859, unwilling 10 take any part in the can
vass, because not willing. by indirectinu
even, to contribute to the success of either
Republican or Democrat.
The result of the election demonstrates, as
plainly a. a proved fact, that the Balance
of Power rests With that class of our Amer
lean citizens in this State who voted the
Utica Ticket. Such m, n bide their time aud
most of them will lie as active as the best If
us in 1860. Many OF the most inf rental OF
the number re9rel that they did not take part
in the Stale election just passed. but excuse
themselves upon the ground that there was
nothing to call out an interest in the election.
There being neither President, Gov rnOr,
Lieutenant Governor. nor Members of Com
gress TO lie voted for, apathy obtained the
mastery of thousands of those who beiirv e
in tue Utica Platform of principles, and rs-
pecially in balanc' of power demonstra-
ton, whenever an important election shall
take place. Let not our friends be dis
couraged but pick their fints aud try il
again.-N Y. Express.

The american Minister at FekIn.


The British press are amusing their read
ers with what they are pleased to regard as
the ridiculous and bumiliating reception in
Pekin of the American Munster, Mr.. WARD.
They contend that he submitted 10 what no
representative of a great State ought to have
done, and ever then could not get sight of
the Emperor of China, whilst his treaty,
which had to be ratified by commissioners at
the mouth of the Peho, is not worth the
paper upon which it is written. The n. \.
Herald takes up the cudgel for Mr.. WARD.
and declares that he did not submit to any
thing humiIiating either to himself person
slly or TO his government. 1t thinks the
English are only jealous because the Amer
lean minister has accomplished what British
ministers could not, after conforming to
the ceremonies OF the Emperor's Court.
Quoth the Herald:
The peculiar ceremonies of reception pre-
scribrd by the Chinese Emperor may APPEAR
very ridiculous in the eyes of Europeans;
but the ceremony of kissing the Popes toe
and that of kneeling to the Queen OF England
when receiving the honor of knghthood, and
all the formalities of court dress and court
reception at the Palace of St. James, are
equally ridiculous; and whatever Americans
NAV think about the matter, the English,
who bow aud kneel to their own munarchs
have no right to call the Chinese humilating.
Their own ministers. too. have submitted to
It, Lord Mccartney, in 1898. though he
went through the full ceremony of three
knselings and nine knocks was kick, out Of
Pekin, aud Mr. Amherst, in 1916. agre, d to
the same humiliation. Now we have British
testimony To show that Mr. Ward. the Amer
lean Minister would not submit to it in any
shape or form. The commissioners told him
that from a hostile or inferior nation The
regular form Of obeisance-nine knocks ana
three knceliHgs-was invariably eXactcd
but as the Emperor regarded the United
States a. an equal and friendly Power.
he would only require from it, representa-
tive, on presentation, one knceliug and three
knocks. When Mr.. w. refused 10 comply even
with this modified form il was then suggest
cd to him that if he would bend one knee or
tonch his fingers to the ground, that would
be satisfactory in his case. Though this was
the most liberal concession ever made by the
Chinese 10 the representative of any nation,
il was also rejected by our Minister, and
consequently hc could not have the honor OF
presentation to the Emperor. That, how
ever. AS he remarked, was an honor he did
not seek. aud he only came to have the treaty
ratified and exchanged. which was according
ly done with all due respect and ceremony"

The Hon. Edward Bates end che 81.
Louis Evening NevHa-

The Nesos in replying to the Missouri Re
,v5l:ean,s paragraph, that the News. article
irving the views Of Mr.. Bates, was not au-
thorized says:
To be sure. The article in the Evening
Nscs was writteRsby the editor, without ex-
changing one word with Mr. Edward Bates in
regard to the connection OF the slavery is
sue with the Presidential election OF 1860.
We did not assume 10 speak ''by authority"
and Il would certainly have been very absurd
for us 10 say, ms we did. that Mr.. Bates would
not formally present bis views to the public
ON the Issues OF the next Presidential can
yass unless be was put in position by the
authoritative voice of the people requiring
i.: and In the very same breath, to give TO
the public such formal statement of his
views on one subject involved!
Our statement of the views of Mr.. Bates
was made without advice, "sui h0rity," OF
assistance; for il a matter in which Dir. Bates
exhibits, and really feels, the smallest sort
of concern. Bnt our statement ia made np
from what we deem to he the public aud pri-
vate record of Mr.. Bates-such as it has
been known 10 all citizens Of the State--a
record not changed since the time when the
Missouri Republican nominated Mr.. Bates for
the Presidency, and sustained that nomina-
ton by many excellent arguments.
The Aeos dld Mr.. BATES SERIOUS liJustCe
by not accompanying its manifesto with the
information-that it was written without con-
sultation with that gentleman. 1t has been
everywhere received and commented upon
e. an authorized statement OF bis views upon
the most interesting political questions Of
the day: to his PREJUDICE in the South-tO his
advantage, probably. in the North. If Mr..
BATES does not feel it incumbent upon him
10 publicly reject the manifesto OF the Mars,
LIE ought at least to say that he approves it.
Then there will be no room 10 doubt. Lett
~ the matter is now. he cannot recover the
ground he has lost amongst Southern men
previously disposed to regard bis nomination
for the Presidency with favor. He might
regain ther good opinion by condemniug the
HSvs.

The Capitol.

We find the preparations for the coming
merting Of Congress about as forward as
usual AT this period of the year. The new
circular benches in the Hall of Representa-
tives are finish'd, aud a fresh and cheerful
carpeting is something more than half laid
down. The new plan OF seating the MEM
bers leaves vacant large section of the hall
on the extreme right and left of the Speaker.
and the desired object will be scared Of hav-
ing the house more directly in front of the
presiding officer Large tables have been
constructed and placed along the spaces
around the margin of the ball for the cccom-
dation of members who may desire to write.
To ali appearances a very few DAYS will suf
flee to have the Hall of Representatives in
order for the session. There having been 40
changes of uota TO be made in the Senate
Chamber, il is not yei put in order; but as
every hing is at hand. a day or two will be
sufficient for that purpose. The Hobbies, pas
sages and ways Of both houses have b,en in
a great measure, disincumbered of the scat
folding. planks. aud other appliances neces-
sary during the process of frescoing, plaster
ing, teseellating. &C., whereby an examina-
ton of the noble ediicc is much more graf
flying thdH heretofore. The work on the
dome is going steadily forward, and makes as
much show as an undertaking SO great and
demanding so much time and labor, could be
expected To do at this stage Of the progress.

the next Congress, which will assemble in
the Capitol at Washington on Monday, Dec.

vacancies which were created by the death of
the members first chosen having been filed
by special elections. There are several va
cancies in the Senate caused by death and
failure to elect, all which will doubtless be
flied at an early day.
