It is very mild letter though its sweetIeas. like Mllton'sis long drawn out It will hard ly please Mir. Eaton who wouldn't have ad. vised ir.' It will certainly not please the mass Of loysl democrats ot the type of Rich ard D. Hubbard, and hundreds of others, who would have been glad if the Judge had some thing less to say of ''the experience and states mauship which the South has brought to the
 National councils, when we are reaping some thing Of that statesnanship" at the present day ;-souething less of the " eonciIiation,
 which, we are told is 'the completest victory | something less of the Interference with ,h, internal and don sic institutions of th' State,' now in rebellion against ths Govern

Power of Kindness.

AT the annual meeting of the Lon
don City Mission, Rev. Cano n
Champncys said;
| remember once a very valued
friend of mine, q barrister, now
passed away, who spent his Sundays
in visiting hospital. He told me
that on one occasion he sat down by
the bedside of one of the very poor
est, the most ignorant, and without
using the word in any offensive man
ner, one of the very lowest men he
had ever seen in his life--a man
whose English, had it been taken
down, would have been the most
complete and perfect dislocation of
the Queens English that he ever
heard. No word seemed to be in
its right place. 1t seemed as if that
which should have been a jointed
and vertebrated sentence had been
separated at every joint, and thrown
together anyhow.
My friend was man of the most
tender spirit "a man whose tender
spirit radiated from one Of the most
striking faces | ever saw and | can
well understand how he looked when
he sat down by that poor mans bed.
He began first, as all should who
visit the sick, to break ground on
temporal matters, to sympathize with
them on that which they can under
stand so well-their bodily suffer-
ings-to show that we are not in
different to what they are suffering
as men; and then, after speaking a
few kind words, he was proceeding
to say something further for his Mas
ter, whom he so dearly loved, when
be saw the mans face begin to work
convulsively. The muscles quivered
and at last, lifting up the sheet and
drawing down his head, he threw
the sheet over his face, burst into a
violent food of tears and sobbed
aloud. My friend wisely waited till
this store of grief was passed, and
then the poor fellow emerged from
under the clothes, his face bearing
the traces of the tears that had
flowed it. When he was able to
speak my friend asked him,
"What is it that has so touched |
you? hope that have not said
that was painful to YOU
What can have moved you so much 2"
And, as well as the man could sob
tut, he sobbed out these words:
"Sir, you are the first man that
yer spoke such kind words to me
ince [ was born, and | can't stand
t."

acres from the west half of lot number 80 in the
| fourth range and twenty acres of lot number
"a in the third range of lots in Glover Orleans

therein, to appear before said court, at a session
thereof, to be held at said Irasburgh, on the ID

universally turning [ h e r thoughts to

least chance of elecling those two advo.
Gates of peace, Grant must be defeated,
the invasion must collapse and die out.
and the very name of war must become

uttermost TO weaken the federal army.

Drunk on Sweetened Wat ter.

Many incidents have ben recorded
to illustrate the power of magma
ton, but the following has never
been in print:
One of the first traders in our town
was Jonas M, who was some
thing of wag and whose jokes were
often termed practical. His store
wrs frequented by the young people
of the town, who enjoyed his fun
and his stories. Every trader in
those days dealt in the ardent; and
among other customers, Jonas had
one, an old fellow named Meshach
H, who came quite regularly
for his grog. Seeing him coming in
one evening, as usual, Jonas said to
the by-standers, "Now we will have
some fun: | will bet bottle of
wine that will get old H drunk
on sweetened water"
"Taken."
"Meshach," said the trader, "go to
the pump and get pail of cool wa
ter, and will give you something to
drink" Delighted at the proposal
he started of, and while absent dc.
canter was filled with water, and
molasses added sufficient to color it.
Old age, and an almost mremitted
use of Santa Cruz" and " jamaica
had somewhat deadenedthe old man
sense of taste, and on his return he
drank his glass without discovering
the deception. 1t had an effect on
his mind also, and he began to be
social and talkative. "Have anoth
err glass, Meshach;" and another
glass was taken, and another, until
he became quite merry and loqua.
cious, and the company of course
were equally SO. The old man had
every appearance of intoxication.
He would iuvaribly, when spending
his evenings at the store, fall asleep
and snoozing in his chair until the
time came to shut up the shop. This
evening was not an exception; and
while sitting in his chair asleep,
Jonas, withthe help of companion,
carried chair and sleeper quietly
out of the door, and placed them
down on the sidewalk. 1t was a chill
ly evening and dark, and the cold
soon slightly reused the sleeper.
Now Meshach had a young sprig,
who, in honor of his sire, had been
christened Meshach, but was more
familiarity called Mish. As the cold
began to revive the old man his SEN
ses gradually returning, but still
somewhat obfuscated-he beloved
forth, "Mish! Mish l say; shut the
door Shut the door, you rascalr'
The laughter of the company
awakened him, and he made his way
home as well as he could in his sit
uation.
