Be YouR Own RrGHr HAND Mas
People who have been bolstered up and
levered all their lives are seldom good for
anything in a crisis. When misfortune
comes they look around for somebody to
cling to or lean upon. If the prop is not
there down they go. Once down, they are
as helpless as capsized turtles, or endorsed
men III armOr, and they cannot gain their
feet again without assistance. Such siken
fellows no more resemble self-made men,
who have fought their way to position,
making difficulties their stepping stones,
and deriving determination from their de-
feat, than vines resemble oaks, or spluttering
flashlights the stars Of Heaven. Efforts
persisted to achievements train a man ia
elf'reliance; and when he has proven TO
the world that he can trust himself, the
world will trust him.
The Howard union. (Glasgow, Mo.) 1865-1866, 1865-10-12
Fight Your Wav I'm.

The mauy who have to take the world
rough and tumble are prone to envy the
few who roll through it implied in cushion
ed vehicles on patent springs. The toiler
as he stumbles through its thorDy thickets,
and limps over its foot blistering gravel, is
apt to curse the i'll luck that placed him on
such hard road, and 10 sigh or a seat in
ONE of the splendid equipoges that glide so
smoothly over Fortunes macad amized
turnpike. Born with pewter spoon in
his mouth, he covets the silver one which
was the blrth-gilt of his do-nothing neigh
Dor. The more fool he. Occupation is the
Immediate jewel" Of life. 1t is true that
riches are no bar to exertion. Quite the
reverse, when their uses are properly I'M
derstood. But the discontinued worker,
who pines for wealth without being wi ling
to labor for it, regards the idleness in which
it would enable him to live as the acme of
temporal happiness. He has no idea Of
money as great motive power, to be ap-
piled in enterprises that give healthful en-
ployment 10 mind and body. All that he
desires is to live feather. bed life-to loaf
luxuriously. We have no sympathy with
such sensuOus longngs. People who IN.
dulge in them never acquire wealth. They
lack the energy TO break their way to the
worldly independence for which they yearn
and whine. They don't know how much
more glorious it is 10 tear afIluence from
opposing fate by main strength of will and
intiexibility of purpose than to receive it as
a windfaf. There is infinitely more salts
faction in conquering a fortune with brain
and muscle than was ever experienced by a
'lucky heir" in obtaining the golden store
that some thriltier hand had accumulated.
Your accidental Cresus knows nothing OF
the pride of success-of honest exultation
with which the self-made man looks back
upon the impediments he has overcome, and
forward into the far future which lie has
earned the right 10 enjoy.

The Constitutional Amendment.

The Amendment forever preventing
slavery in the United States and Terrific
ries cannot become part of the Constitu-
ton until ratified by the Legislatures of 81
States, Congress having proposed that mode
Of ratification TO the States. See Article
V of the Constitution as TO the mode of
amending it. Twenty four States have
ratified It, Three more must be secured.
1t is highly important TO secure it, If pos
sibe, before the end Of next winter, so that
Congress at its next session may complete
the good work by appropriate. legislation.
The sooner It is done the sooner we shall
have cordial peace and union in Church and
State. .
The Southern Conventions ere now abol-
ishing slavery in their respective States,
but this action does not change, or in the
least affect, the Constitution. When re-
stored TO their old place in the Union, with
their Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress, similar Conventions can restore
slavery, either in its old form, or as serf-
dom or peonsge, unless the National Con-
stitution shall, by the ratification of the
Amendment, give Congress the power to
prevent it.
In this appropriate Congressional legis-
lation we do not speak Of the right Of suf-
frage for the blacks. That right is not
essential to enjoyment of perfect freedom
by them, any more than by women, or
unnaturalized foreigners. 1t is now, and
ought always to remain, exclusively sub.
ject of State legislation, otherwise we shall
suffer all the evils Of a consolidated Govern
rhent. We are earnestly in favor of ex-
tending the right of suffrage 10 all men who
possess intelligence and character to qualify
them for its proper exercise. But it is a
matter belonging TO the State only, and every
patriot and loyal citizen must submit TO the
Constitution and support it.
But if the States of South Carolina, Ala
bama and Mississippi come forward, as
they now do, and with great unanmiiy
declare slavery forever abolished, and pro
coed 10 legislate for universal freedom, it is
surely time for New Jersey, Delaware and
