wholesome Fruit. of the Late Elections.

The CONSERVATION of the enemies Of the
Government and the war since the rusults OF
the October and November elections, in the
loyal States, has never been equaled in po-
iticsl history. As We contrast their loud
and confident tones before these elections
and their lame and impotent attempts to ex=
plain and excuse their overwhelming defeats,
we cannot avoid recalling the period when
the same men insisted that the ADMINISTRATION
Of Of Mr.. Lincoln could not prosecute tie war
to a, successful close, and 1idiculed and depre1
Gated all the great measures deemed necessary
by Congress and the Executive to crush the
rebellion. Their prophecies in the one case

DOMESTIC LIFE.

He cannot be an unhappy man
who has the love and smile of wo-
man to accompany him in every de-
partment of life. The world may
look dark and cheerless without
enemies may gather in his path
but when he returns to the freside,
and feels the tender love of woman,
he forgets his cares and, troubles,
and is a Comparative happy man.
He is but half prepared for the
journey Of life who fakes not with
him that friend who will forsake
him in no emergency-who will di-
vide his sorrows, increase his Joys,
lift the veil from his heart, and
throw sunshine amid the darkest
scenes. No, that man cannot be
miserable who9ha such compan-
ion; be- he ever SO poor, despised,
and trodden upon by the world.--

y rHE 6ooB PEACEABLE MAN.

First keep thysef in peace, anC
then shalt thou be able to bring
others to peace The peaceablt
man does more good than one thai
is very learned. The passionate
man turneth even good to evil.
The good peaceable man trirnetI
all things unto good. He thatIis il
perfect tra1tquiH iHity suspects no man
But he that is discontented and dis
turbed is agitated by various Bus
pleiOns; fheg gnsiEheFd hath rest him
self, nor saffeFeth others to rest
Many time he saith what he ought
not to say, and leaveth undone that
which it were best for him. to ac.
complish. He considers what others
ought to do, and neglecteth that
which he is bound to perform him
self. Have, therefore, a zeal in the
first place over thyself, and then
mayest thou also justly exercise
zeal towards thy neighbor. Thou
knowest well how to excuse and
gloss over thine actions, but thou
wilt not accept the excuse of others.
1t were more just for thee not to ex-
cuse thysef, and excuse thy broth
er. If thou wishest to be borne
with, bear also with others. See
how far thou art yet from true chari-
ty and humility; which knoweth not
how to feel anger or Indignation
against any one but oneself.
It is no great thing to associate
with the good and gentle; for this
is naturally pleasing to all, and
every one prefereth peace and low
eth those who have like sentiments.
But to be able to live peacefully
with the hard and perverse, or with
the undisciplined and those who
contradict uss is4a great grace, and
a highly commendable and manly
thing. Someo-there oareawho keep
themselves IN peace, and have peace
also with others; ard there are
some who neither have peace them
selves, nor leave others in peace:
they are troublesome to others and
still more troublesome to them-
selves. And there are those who
keep themselves in peace, and study
to restore peace to others. Reflect
dear reader, that true peace consists
much more in humbly submitting
to what is contrary to our incIina-
tions, than in meeting with nothing
to thwart them; we must resolve to
keep quiet under contradictions, and
to be calm in the midst of storms, pa
tiently and meekly enduring perse-
cution and all the evil that others
may say or do against US. A soul that
is truly humble complains Tonly of
itself; it endeA1o 1ors to excus6l others,
while it blames itself, and is angry
with no one save itself. I am re
solved, therefofe, 60 live in peace
with God, by obeying Him in all
things; in peace with my neighbor.
by not consuming his conduct or
interfering with his affairs, and in
peace with myself, by combating
and subduing, on all occasions, the
emotions and repugnance of my
heaft,E NeveFt h6tessy all our peace
in this miserable life must be placed
rather in humble endurance than In
not experiencing opposition. He
who best knows how TO endure will
possess the greater peace. Such
one is conqueror of himself and
lord Of Othe sEworld, the friend of
Christ, and an heir of heaven.
