Loving and Forriving.

Man has an unfortunate readiness, in
the evil hour, after receiving an affront, to
draw together all the mean spots on the
other person into an outline Of shadow,
and night piece, and to transform sim
gle deed into a whole life; and this only
in order that he may thoroughly relish the
pleasure Of being angry. In love, he has
fortunately the faculty Of crowding to-
gether all the light parts and rays Of its
object into one focus, by means Of the
burning-glass Of imagination, and letting
its sun burn without its spots; but he too
generally does this only when the beloved
and often censured being is already be.
yond the skies. In order, however, that
we do this sooner and oftener, we ought
to act like Winckelman, but only in
another way. As he set aside a particu-
lar half hour Of each day for the purpose
Of beholding and meditating on his too
happy existence in Rome, so we ought
daily or weekly to sanctify solitary hour
for the purpose Of summing up the virtues
of our families, our wives, our children
and our friends, and viewing them in their
beautiful crowned assemblsge Of their
good qualities. And, indeed, we should
do so for this reason, that We may not
forgive and love too late, when the be-
loved beings are already departed hence,
and are beyond our reaeh-Je1n Pdal

Judge Petit.

The Lafayette Journal, one Of the
staunchest Republican papers Of the Un-
ion, speaks as follows Of the appointment
Of Judge Petit, the successorof Lecompte
to the Office Of Chief Justice Of Kansas
"The appointment of Hon. Jno. Petit
Of this city, to the Chief Justicsbip Of
Kansas, affords the sincerest qualification
to his many friends here. 1t has been our
fortune to bc politically opposed to Mr..
Petit all our lives, and we have repeated
ly felt it our duty TO criticise his course 90
Senator in Congress and as q speaker be-
fore the people, in terms Of pointed and
severe condemnation but personally we
have ever entertained for him none but
the kindest and friendliest feelings. In
spite Of his errors be has awarm heart,
and his separation from the people of this
portion Of the State, among whom he has
50 long resided, will occasion the unafect-
ed regret of many who never have agreed
with him for moment politically. Mr..
Petit, unlike 50 many Others, has been
too honest TO take advantage Of the posi-
tious he has occupied to put money IN
his purse . he is poor, and the salary Of
the office to which he has been appointed
Is liberal one. This consideration will
doubtless induce him TO accept it. The
able manner in which he has acquitted
himself As Judge Of this Circuit warrants
us in predicting that he viii acquit him
self in his new position with distinguish.
ed credit, and to the perfect satisfaction
Of the people of Kansas. He is sound
lawyer-decided and thoroughly impair
tial upon the bench. He will be vast

succeeds" ~
