SELF CONTROL.

A merchant in London had dispute with
Quaker, respecting. the settlement of an ac-
count The merchant was determined to bring
the account into court, a proceeding which the
Quaker earnestly deprecated, using every ar
giment ia his power to convince the merchant
Of his error; but the latter was inflexible.-
Desirous to make last effort, the Quaker call
ed at his house one morning, and inquired of
the servant if his master was at home. The
merchant hearing the inquiry, and knowing
the voice, called out from the top of the stairs:
"Tell. the rascal / am not at home" The Qua
ker, looking up to him calmly said: We'll,
friend, God put thee in better mind" The
merchant, struck afterward with the meekness
of the reply, and having more deliberately in
vestigated the matter, became convinced that
the Quaker was right and that he was wrong.
He requested to see him, and after acknow-
ledging his error, he said: "I have question
TO ASH you how were you able, with such pa
tienee, on various occasions, to bear my abuse?"
"Friend." replied the Quaker, 81 will tell thee !;

I knew that to indulge this temper was sinful;
and I found it was imprudent. observed
that men in a. passion always spake aloud I;
and thought if controlled my voice l should
repress my passions I. therefore, made a rule
never to let my voice rise above certain key,
and, by careful observance of this rule. / have

Senator Hale on Northern Democracy.

During the discussion of the JEFF. Davis res
olutons q short time since, Senator Hale said
l think the Senator from Texas has done
great injustice if he thinks that the passing OF
the amendment introduced by the Senator
from Mississippi, Governor Brown would stag
ger them in the least. I think they would
take it as good pious Mohamedan takes the
Koran-"It is written" Laughter and if
these resolutions, no matter what they are,
are sent out as democratic the regular thing,
untainted with accession or anything of that
kind, do not think he will loose vote in the
State which have the honor in part to rep
resent. Sir, he does not know the tried fidel-
ity of those men. Laughter l do not
think you can pass any resolutions on the sub
ject of slavery that would stagger them in the
least. thinkif you passed these resolutions, no
matter how strong you put them, the next
Democratic convention in New Hampshire
will resolve that they always had been their
sentiments Laughterl that they now, are
and ever have been unalterably fixed in the
support of the views that had beeu laid down
by the Senator from Mississippi, or the Sena-
tor from Texas, no matter who and that this
was the doctrine they had always cohtendcd

NOBLE SENTIMENTS.

This is an agreeable world after all. If we
would only bring ourselves to look at the sub
jects that surround US in their true light, we
would behold uniformity, and listen to harmony
where We heard nothing but discord. To be sure
there is much of vexation andanxiety to meet;
and if We cannot sail on summer coast stead
lily ,we can so trim our sails and manage our
helm, as to avoid the quicksands and weather
abe storms that threaten shipwreck. We are
members OF one great family we are travel
ing the same road, and shall arrive at the same
goal. We breathe the same air, are subject
to the same beauty, and shall lie down upon
the bosom of one common mother. 1t is un-
becoming then, that brother should hate
brother, it is not proper that friend should de-
ceiye friend it is not right that .neighbor
should deceive neighbor.
We pity that man who can harbor enmity
against his fellow he loses half the enjoyment
OF life embitters his own existence Let us
tear from our eyes the colored medium that in
vests every object with the green hue of jeal-
ousy and suspicion turn deaf ear to scandal
breath a spirit Of charity from our hearts, lei
the rich gushing of human kindness swell up
as q fountain, so that the golden age" will be
come no fiction, and the islands of the blessed
bloom q more than "Hyperian beauty"

Harmony in Ohio.

We clip the following article from the
Cleveland National Democrat
BRECKENRIDGE AND LANE ELECTORAL TICKET
The Ohio Statesman puts forth, as true, the
follwing canard:
1--WE understand that negotiations were on
foot at Washington, on Tuesday last, in which
it was said that certain high dignitaries of the
Lobby were proposing 10 furnish ten thousand
dollars to get up Brecknridge Electoral
Ticket in Ohio"
In Ohio. as in other States, it is not neces-
sary to receive money to get up an Electoral
Ticket for the nominees of the Democracy
Before the first day of August the Statesman
viii see such Ticket in the field regularly
nominated by Democratic State Convention,
and it will be voted for by the Democracy Of
the State, in which term we hope not to in
clude such lying scamps and political leeches
as the present editor of the Ohio Statesman.

Rock Oil.

The Pittsburg Gazette gives number of
items in. regard to the coal oil business in
Crawford county, Pa. The yield is increasing
and business very brisk. Two new wells have
been opened within sixty feet of vein, which
yield 20 bbls. per day. Most of the wells in
that vicinity send their oil directly to New
York, where it commands ready sale. Up
wards of 500 bbls. of oil are now lying at We

lars, was considered good bargain by the

The Cost of the Japanese zmbassey.

We learn from reliable authority that the
cost of bringing the Japanese from San Fran
cisco to Washington, and entertaining them
during twenty-six days stay, and cost of gov
ernment train to Philadelphia amounted to
$4,000, the items being as follows: Trans
portation across the Isthmus, $4,000; enter
tainment at Washington during 26 days
stay, including hack hire, wines, &C., ST.
400; the charter of steamboat, government
trains, &c, So 600. The cost of entertaining
the japanese in Philadelphia for seven days
will, it is said, amount to $4,000, being So
600 more than the appropriation, and over ST.

A Southern Tribute TO NTr. Lincoln.

b Mr. Lincoln, though decided Republican
and competent exponent Of the purposes
and spirit of tie party, is not the object of
those popular prejudiees that attach to Mr.
Seward, his strongest competitor for the nom
ination.z He is man of ability, not equal to
Mr.. Seward in culture or in his experience of
public affairs, but Is considered by many as
his equal in natural force of intellect We
heard one of the discussions between him and
Douglas IN the famous campaign of 1858,
and we certainly regarded him as full match
at least for that distinguished politician. There
are some things In the personal character and
career of Mr.. Lincoln which viii give him
great popularity, if they do not excite enthu-
siasm among the people Born of humble
parentnge. and passing the years of his child
hood, youths and manhood amid the haftlships
Of the baekwoeds of Kentucky, Indiana aud
Illinois, acquiring an education by his own la
bors as best he could. and gradually working
his way TO distinction, his life has been one
well calculated 10 excite the admiration and
sympathy of voters, most of whom are them
selves working men. When to this is added
the purity of his private life, the general re-
cognition of which has given him, in his own
State, the sobriquet of Honest Old Abe"
We are compelled TO admit that the Chicago
Convention has nominated the very hardest
man to beat that it could possibly have given
Us. ~
Mr.. LincOln's antecedents were Wing. He
was warm friend and admirer of Mr.. Clay,
and was, for many years, the acknowledged
leader of the Wing party in Illinois. \
The question now is, 'how is this ticket to
be beaten ?" We confess that in the divided,
and chaotic condition of all other
parties, the problem is extremely difficult of
solution
