Beautiful Extract.

When the summer Of youth is slow
ly wasting into the nightfall of age and
the shadows of the past years grow
deeper and deeper, and if life were OH
it's close, it is pleasant to look back
through the vista of time upon the
sorrows and felicities of years. If we
have home to shelter and hearts to
rejoice with us, and friends have been
gathered together by our tireside, then
the rough places of our wayfaring will
have been worn and smoothed away
in the twilight of life, while the sunny
spots we have passed through will
grow brighter and more beautiful.
Happy, indeed, are those whose inter
course with the world has not changed
the tone of their holier feelings, or
broken those musical chords of the
heart whose vibrations are so melodi-
GUS, so touching in the evening of
age.

The Abolition of Slavery.

Il
The amendment to the Constitution
prohibiting slavery throughout the
United States, passed the House Of
Representatives on the 3lst January,
by the large vote of 119 to Sc. 1t
passed the Senate last winter. The
President has signed the bill, and it
has now to GO to the States for ratifi-
cation. When the Legislatures of
three-fourths of all the States shall in
dorse the bill it will become an amend
ment of the Constitution. There are
now thirty-six States in all, and twen-
ty-scven are three-fourths. The Leg
islatures of all the twenty-five loyal
States, except Kentucky, will ratify
the amendment, and possibly Kentucky
will do SO. Then there are the States
of Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennes-
see, almost ready for reorganization,
making, with Kentucky, twenty-eight,
and without her, just the required
twenty-seven. 1t may be confidently
anticipated that, before the present
year shall elapse, the constitutional
amendment will be fully ratified and
slavery declared forever abolished in
the United States. Such gigantic
stride in our progress towards univer-
sal freedom will be hailed with exulta-
tion and joy 10y the friends of liberty
throughout the world. This is the great
victory of the war-a victory over its
cause.
