the audience These are solemn times-these
are solemn times T at which the audience broke
into another uncomfortable fit of laughter. This
evidently annoyed Mr.. Carr of Illinois for, as
the chairman restored little order, he COM
menced savagely With believe that there is
God, who holds the universe in His hands as
you would hold an egg-hold an egg-hold an
egg!
Another tumult of uproarious laughter from
the innocent Dutchmen, in which the chairman
and everybody else joined, overwhelmed Mr..
Carr but he, moment after, emerged from the
inundation, and, shaking his fist frantically at
the chairman, shrieked at the top of his voice
Don't you believe in God-dont you believe
In God-don't you believe in God?'
The manner of the individual was so irresisti-
bly, ludicrous that the whole Convention was
fairly convulsed with laughter; at which the hor-
rifed Mr.. Carr commenced backing to the door,
bowling ironically to the chairman and audience,
at every step, and turning at each motion to beg
pardon of somebody behind him who was pushed
out of the way by the back action motion re-
suHing from bowling. Mr.. Carr probably went
straight home to Illinois, as he seen no more
in the Convention" 1.-THE correspondent says

Our Foreign Population.
!" True patriots we be it understood,
W.. laft f.nr afrNfs

True patriots we be it understood,
We left our country, for our country's good
There is an element in the population OF Cali
forDia which, in political sense, has been al
most entirely disregarded, that element is the
foreigner who abides among us, and for various
reasons-satisfaetory to themselves, we suppose
have declined American citizenship. The
political sentiment of this class of people may
be considered immaterial, perhaps, as they do
not vote most erroneous is such a shallow con-
clusion. On the contrary, they all manifest a
most lively interest in national affairs, and
exert an influence of no mean Importance to the
cause of our Government. A great many of this
class of no small intellect and by their
plausible arguments are too prone and capable
of misleading their more unlettered but natural
lied countrymen. 1t needs but small effort to
expose the feelings Of this class of men toward
the United States casual championship
CT any act of the Government, where the rebel
lion, our foreign power is concerned, is suf-
fcient The souls of these pensioners upon a
liberal people are in arms in a moment; their
employment is continual disparagement of our
republican institutions and country, dishonest
comparisons freely instituted and blurted
forth in the most insolent manner.
1t would be regarded as the ''good time CONF
ing" if these over-fed vampires were escorted
beyond our boundaries, and with shute re-
landed upon the soil which has oft denied them
the crust to break many fast their room
would be accounted far better than their COM
pany. The meanest respect they could pay to
the community with whom they dwell would be
to bride their tongues, and cease their outrage
Gus villifcatiVns of the Government under which
they prove unworthy to live. They accepted
the general nvitation extended to the oppressed
of every land to come and build their homes
and enjoy themselves in the shade of their own
vine and fig tree, and are guaranteed that :! none
shall make them afraid" 1t is then the very
I.,1 10
should remain among us, and constantly assail
our ears with their despicable prejudices.
And what poison must they instill into the
minds of their American born children who
nurtured and educated mainlyat the expense
of the State, instead of endowing them with love
of their country, aiding and fitting them for the
noble field and positions in life to which all may
aspire and equally eligible they mostly
strive to the seeds which may generate into
contempt and hate for their country. Out upon
all such men. Let them be properly apprc-
ciated. -Pldcr0We NerS.

For the Young.

Carry a thing through. Persevere; don't do
anything else. If you once fairly, soundly, wide
awakely begin thing, let it be carried through
though it cost you your best comfort, time, ener-
gy, and all you can command. We heartily
abominate this turning backward, this wearying
and fainting of soul and purpose. 1t speaks i'm
becility of mind, want of character, courage,
and true manliness.
Garry a thing through. Don't begin it till
you are fully prepared for its accomplishments
Think, study, dig, till you know your ground
and see your way. This done, launch out with
right nor left Push on gigantically-push on
as though creation had been waiting through all
time for your especial hand and spirit and then
you'll do something worthy of yourself and
kind.
Garry thing through. Don't leap and daily
from one to another. No man ever did anything
that way. You can't.

Don't disgrace yourself by being on this thing
to-day, on that thing tomorrow, and on another
thing next day. We don't care if you are the
most active mortal living we don't care if you
labor day and night, in season and out, be sure
the end of your life will show nothing if you
perpetually change from object to object.
Fortune, success, fame, position, are never
gained but by piously, determinedly, bravely
sticking, growing, living to thing till it is fair
ly accomplished.
In short, you must carry thing through if
you want to be anybody or anything No matter
if it does cost you the pleasure, the society, the
thousand pearly qualifications of life. No matter
for these. Stick to the thing and carry it
through. Believe that you were made for the
matter, and that no one else can do it. Put
forth your whole energies. Stir, wake electrify
yourself, and go forth to the task.
Only once learn to carry thing through in
all its completeness and proportion, and you
will become hero. You will think better of
yourself-others will think better of you. OF
course they will.
The world in its very heart admires the stern,
determined doer. 1t sees in him its best sight,
its brightest object its richest treasure. Drive
right along, then, in whatever you undertake.
Consider yourself amply sufficient for the deed.
You'll be successful. Never fear

THE AMERICAN TEMPERAMEYT.-On this sub
ject the New York Independent thus discourses
1t has stimulated their industries and multi
piled their wealth. 1t has led to overtrading and
wild specuations and through these plunged
them into calamitous disasters. 1t has carried
them through these misfortuncs, it is true but
with a little more consideration of natural and
social laws, and of their operation in the case
of others, perhaps her golden prosperity might
have been had without the deteriorating alloy.
The history of this rebellion and the events
that ushered it in full of proofs of this prop
osition. Overweening confidence in the stabili-
ty of institutions delivered us over, at the
beginning, unarmed and defenseless to our
treacherous enemies. But the elasticity of our
national spirits soon rose above this astonish-
ment, and brought us face to face with them,
resolved on their chastsement. And in spite
of the defeats which the murderous plumbers of
the Young Napoleon brought upon us at first, if
indeed, they were not organized through his
strategy we sprang to our feet, more GER
tain Of victory than before. Gettysburg, Vicks-
burg and Chattanooga have put face upon
our affairs, and our danger now lies in over
weening certainty of success in the field and in
the terms of settlement which are to follow it.
