A SENSIBLE CONCLUSION. London
z5mes has come to the conclusion that much
mischief has been caused BY the utterance
in England Of "loosc Ideas" respecting the
United States. Itseeks, therefore, to make
some amends for its own deficiencies, by de-
voting leader to unqualified psaisa Of the
statesmau-like qualities Of which President
johnson, in it, judgment, shows himself
possessed.

WOlnau'S TempCr.

No trait Of character is more valu.
able in a female than the possession of
a sweet temper. Some can never be
happy without 1t. 1t is like tho flow
ers that spring up in our pathway, re.
viving and cheering us. Let man 90
home Of night, wearied and worn by
the tolls of the day, and how soothing
Is q word dictated by good disposi-
tion. 1t is sunshine falling upon his
heart. He is happy, and the cares of
life are forgotten. A sweet temper has
a soothing influence over the minds of
whole family. Where it is found in
the wife and mother, you observe kind
ness and love predomnating over the
natural feelings Of the heart. Smiles,
kind words and looks characterize the
children, and love have their dwellings,
there. Study, then, to acquire and re-
tain sweet temper. 1t is more valu-
able than gold; it captivates more than
beauty, and to the close of life it re-
tains its freshness and power.

STARVED TO DEATH. We thought
we knew the terrible meaning of those few
words when q nearly distracted mother
used them in speaking of child Of heI
own who wasted away before her eyes from
want of sufficient sustenance in her sick
ness, loneliness, and poverty. And we had
the same thought when we pennsd the
words, last Saturday, for notice in the
evening papers. But, on Sunday morning,
as W repeated them in tho hearing of one
of our young friends returning in health,
strength, and happiness with his delighted
mother to our humble chanel, he added
something which gave new and fearful i'm.
port to the expression. Yes, sir" said he;
''and i have seen the rings, like those in u
circus, beaten hard on the ground, where
our poor boys ran round when they went
crazy in the rebel pens !" Let careful
hands keep the grass for ever from growing
upon those rings, and in the center of the
shameful circle let monument be reared
to tell the meaning of the thing to the
latest generation. For here our heroes and
martyrs were harried and hurried, hunted
aud bounded, to their maniac graves. -
Starved to death"-to such death-and
