CHARACTER Is PowER. 1t is often said
that knowledge is power-end this IS
true. Skill or faculty of any kind car
ries with it superiority. So, to a GER
tain extent, wealth is power, and rank
is power, and intellect is power, and
genius has transcendant gift of mas
terry over men. But higher, purer, and
better than all, more constant in its in
fuence, more lasting in its sway, is the
power of character power which
emanates from pure and lofty mind.
Take any community, who is the man
of the most influence To whom do
all look up with reverence? Not to
the 'smartest' man, nor the cleyerest
politician, nor the most brilliant talker,
but him who in long course of pros

Lost in her own thoughts, Ella had
little needed the noise which was heard
from time to time, and which she fam
cied the fall of avalanches from crag TO
crag in the mountains. But now, all
on a sudden, she remarked that her
father had several times turned his
head to look back, and that his face
swore a troubled expression. "What is
'it, father she asked, sis there any
thing the matter?'
Nothing, nothing" he answered, in
a short, stern manner, not at all usual
it, him-I hope, nothing )" and then
amurmured to himself, in a lower tone
R'God grant it may be nothing"

BATTLE OF WATERLoo.-The night be-
fore the battle of Waterloo it rained
The ground was saturated; the
rain had collected in many hollows
of the plain as in tubs; at certain
points the ammunition wagons had
sunk in up to the axeltries and the
girths of the horses; if the wheat, laid
low by this mass of moving vehicles,
had not filled the ruts and made lit
ter under the wheels, any movement,
especially in the valleys, would have
been impossible"
Napoleon, accustomed to hold his
artillery in hand like n pistol, waited
until the field batteries could gallop
freely. Alas the sun did not come
out, and it was noon when the first
gun was fired. Had the battle COM
menced two hours sooner says Victor
Hugo, it would have been over by four
o'clock Butcher would have fallen
into the hands of the victor, and the
map Of Europe, and the civilization of
the nineteenth century, would have
assumed a new form. The difference
between a throne and prison may
be the result of rain, and yet no hui
man science can avert or anticipate it.
He who said that Providence was on
the side Of the best served artillery,
proved by his own sad history the fall
sity of the statement. He who walk
eth upon the winds taught him how
vain it was to struggle with his cold
or rain. Providence is on the side of
justice and truth, and sooner or later
will demonstrate this. Christian Id

The Aiming Of the Slaves.

The people of the North are incredu-
lous regarding the rebel threat to arm
their able-bodied slaves and put them
into their armies for the next campaign.
They have seen a few articles from
Southern papers favoring the PROPOSE
ton to conscript the blacks, but have
not been impressed with the extent Of
the business like consideration that is
being given this subject in the South
ern Confederacy. Richmond papers of
the lst and I'd of November, which
reached US yesterday, show with what
eartnestness the question of forcing
their slaves into the army is
being discussed. Our readers, we
are confident, will thank us for Civ
ing so much space to what the rebels
have to say about this matter The Sc
lections under this head, from the reb-
ell press, will be found on our fourth
page, and it is peculiarly interesting to
observe closely the style in which the
rebels treat this new phase (for them
Of the negro question. The first thing
they find it necessary to do before pro-
ceeding 10 the adjustment of slavery,
is 10 declaim very emphatically any
sympathy with Aboli6onism. Some of
them SILVER little, as IL commencing
a cold bath, before committing them
selves TO the policy that will give them
distinction as the greatest practical Alb,
olitionists Of the age, but they will soon

Il paragraph in the recent foreign
news says that the Danish Government
is anxious to sell its West India posses
sions to the United States. Consider
ing the straits of the Danish Govern
ment, arising from the war waged
against her by Germany, this. is by no
means improbable. The Danish do
minions are composed of the Farce Is

While humanity continues to be iuiiru

his time and talent to.the relief OF this
