RELIGION AND HEALTH.

Henry Ward Beecher, in his Lecture
Room Talks, thinks that health is the first
step toward healthy religious experience.
He says
you will say, perhaps, "What, then,
is there no religion for the infrm and
sick ?" Yes; but that does not alter the
fact that in their religious experiences,
they are more or less gloomy and despond
ing. 1t is not always the effect of disease
to produce gloom and dependency some
times it heightens the sensibilities; butas
a general thing, religious experiences are
sounder and more rational in a healthy
mind and a healthy body. Sol say that,
as the first step You must be healthy, if
you expect to have broad and deep and
sweet experiences. Health is a Christian
duty. have heard persons praying, and
praying, and praying, for the presence of
God and 1 have thought that, if they
would eat less, and work more, aud spend
twice as much time in the open air, they
would not need to pray so much What
they wanted was not answer to prayer, but
simple obedience to the laws of God in
nature"

The Poisoning of Andrew johnson

The Poisoning Of Andrew Johnson,
There can be but little doubt left in
the minds Of those who have atteptiyeIy
perused the details Of the plot to assass~
mate the leaders of the Government, that
Andrew johnson, who has endured so
much undeserved obloquy for his singu-
lar ALTERATION On the 4th of March, was
on the occasion under the influence, not of
spirituous liquors, nor Of a mere disturb
ing drug, intended only to disfgure him,
but of a deadly poison, furitively insinu-
ated in his drink with a view to take his
life. 1t is in proof that the assassinations
were to have been perpetrated on the 4th
of March, and that Booth, chief assassin,
had posted himself in a position where
Mr.. Lincoln must pass closely by, and it
was doubtless expected that about the
time the President would have persisted
by the pistol, the new Vice President.
would have expired in the Capitol from
the effects of the poison he had taken.
Probably this view Of the matter las new
er struck the mind of Mr. johnson and
it is not to be supposed that under the
mystery of that strange occurrence which
must have puzzled him more than any
one else, he would care to allude to the
affair with any attempt to oexplanation that
might have been misunderstood. The
disclosure of the instructions distributed
among the assassins, that they were at
liberty to use the blade, the pistol, or the
bowl, but they must bear in mind that
the latter had once failed" seems to be
conclusive upon this point, and viii doubt
less suggest some important recolIections
to the Presidents mind. His powerful
nature triumphed over the Internal draught,
and thus, in addition to an invaluable
life, being saved to the nation, we
are gratifed in the conviction, that one
who has always been sober, sslf-respeot-
ing statesman is now prOvidentially reliev-
ed from even a passing cloud on his ca
reer.- Wilkes Spirit.

Great Men.

Mankind voluntarily manufacture t7-
rants. These do not make themselves any
more than poets. We must have some
body or something to worship, and if we
cannot find king or queen to be the OBJ
ject of our stupid admiration, we will con-
fer it on some general, orator or dema-
gogue, which may cOnfound with demig d.
When we have got the halter of a muster
round our necEs, we feel easy, for we
know then which way to go that's just
as We are pulled.
How fortunate it is that one man can
not look into the brain Of another; if he
could, adieu to popularity aud fame for
superhuman qualities. How lucky one
cannot look into another's heart; if he
could, where then would be the confidence
and subserViency Of party underling aud
tool Well, there have been great men,
but not SO great as poets and chroniclers
have made them in order to comply with
the exigency of rhyme and the interest of
history. There have been good men, but
not all of them so good but that others
could equal them if they had mind to try
it. The memory is the most good-natured
of the faculties, and kindly becomes a
seive to the defects, and a mirror to the
shining qualities of the great and good
who have preceded US. As to the hid
den structure of mems minds the differ
ences are probably about the same as in
the exterior shapes and dimensions of
their bodies so that there are few giants
and no demigods on earth.

SETH w. BROWN, EDITOR.
Presidential.

The Daily News, undismayed by tht
failure its efforts in behalf of "Pres
ident Davis" opens a new Presiden.
tial campaign (for 1861 and prop oses
Gen. Sherman and President johnson
as democratic competitors for that
station. After exhausting eulogium
on the former, it turns upon the latter
thus mercilessly:
There is but one man in the coun-
try that can contend with him (Sher-
man) for the nomipation, and the sue
cess of that one depends not upon his
past but upon his future. lie has
been thrust into the path of an un-
precedented opportunity, and he must
be blind and reckless if he tread upon
insteadof gathering the fruits by the
wayside. Andrew johnson, by his
record, ,efacing some few pages traced
in conYuIsion, and which, therefore,
can claim oblivion, is a Democrat Of
the most positive and emphatic JEFF
ersonian Interpretation. If he has
only the wisdom and the nerve to cast
away from him the radical influences
that surround him, and to be guided
by the principles that he followed in
his political apprenticeship, and under
whose inspiration he laid the corner
stone of the monument of his fame,
he will find no difficulty in securing
the support of the Democracy, even
against such a formidable rival as
Gen. Sherman"
Who shall say that Power is not
a good thing? Two months ago, the
News would have suspected of Iunacy
whoever might have suggested that it
yet felt impeIled to render even a
sham support for next President, to
Andrew johnson. After this IetnO one
deem any combination in politics inn
possible.
But this country has many grave
questions to settle, many serious diff
iculties to surmount, before plunging
again into the giddy whirl of PreSi-
lential contest. Whoever at this day
a name for next President
himself a schemer and self
seeker, working by indirections and
speaking two words for himself to
)ne for his faYorite. To kill off any
mans chances for the Presidency,
you have only to bring out a candi-
late three years before the election.

How to Take Life


Take life Ike man take it by the

by every liub and part. Take it Just as
though it was-as it is, an earnest vital,
essential affair Take It Just as though
you were personally born to perform a
merry part in it; as though the world was
Whiting for your coming.
Take it as though it was a grand oppor-
tunity to do and to achieve, to carry for
ward great and good schemes, to help and
cheer suffering, weary, it may be heart
sickeued brother
The fact is, life is under7alued by q
majority Of mankind It is not made
half so much Of as should be the case.
" here is the man or woman who accom-
plishes one tithe Of what might be done 2
Who cannot look back upon opportunities
lost, plans unachieved, thoughts crushed,
aspirations unified, and possible effort. If
We knew better how to take and make the
most of life, it would be far greater than
it Is. Now and then a man stands aside
from the crowd, labOrs earnestly, stead-
fastly, confidently, and straightWay he
becomes famous for wisdom, intellect, skill,
greatness of some sort. The world won.
ders, admires, idolizes, and yet it only IL
lustrates what each may do, if he take
hold Of life with a purpose, by the head
and shoulders. If man but say be will,
ard follow it up with the right effort,
there is nothing in reason he may not eX-
pect to accomplish. There is no magic,
no miracle, no secret to him who is brave
and determined in spirit.

A House for Jefferson Davis in Liv-
erpoOl.

A House for Jefferson Davis in Liv-
erpoOl,
To THE EDITOR oFTHE SAVANNAH HER
AID:
Now that everything regarding the
movements of jeff. Davis has a peculiar
interest, have thought it well to give
the public, through the columns of your
valuable paper, fact which came to my
personal knowledge bearing upon the
subject
When was in Liverpool, England,
now about a year ago, there had just been
completed a splendid brick mansion in
one of the most fashionable squares of
the city, which was generally known and
talked Of having been erected from the
proceeds of the Confederate loan, and as
intended for the future resident Of JEFF
ersOn Davis, in the event Of circumstances
forcing BIN to leave thecOunry.
During my stay in Liverpool, the win
dows Of the house remained painted white,
which, according to the custom in that
city, indicated that the house had been
engaged and was waiting for its occupant
"a circumstance which gave plausibility
to the town-talk Of It's beng the sometime
residence Of the fugitive President Of the
Southern Coufe leracy.

AppFeLendGd SIaVe InsurFectiOn in
Cuba.

The Colonial Standard, ofJamaica, has
the following startling intelligence:
From a conversation which we have had
with gentleman who returned to this
city from Cubl in the Jamaica packet, We
learn that matters in Cuba had begun to
assume very threatening aspect. There
was evidently deep and bitter feeling Of
revenge slumbering among the negroes,
which only awaited favorable moment to
burst forth with immeasureab.e fury.
Already had several estates been burnt BY
the torch of the incendiary; and so deep
and silent was the plot which had been
laid for carrying out those acts Of incen-
diarism, that no clue to the perpetrators
had as yet been discovered. At Guanta-
namo, where the first two fires occurred.
an overseer Of a large property had been
murdered, and two companies Of troops
had been sent thither from st. Jago in
order to repress any attempt at rebellion.
On the departure from st. Jago, on the
evening of the 22nd Of March, of the Ja-
maica packet, two large fires were plainly
seen from deck. Little doubt isentertain
en- by our informant but that they Will be
found to have been owing to further acts
of incendiarism. Our next advices from
Cuba, then, may be auxiously looked for,
the Government is most watch
ful in keeping from the public the least
information which might give a clue to
the present widespread disafection.

New deVeIopements are constantly
coming to astonish the country more
and more as to the extent of the per-
fdy of the leaders of the rebellion.
From the inception of their treason
able plot to the present moment, there
seems to have been no crime which
they have not committed. It now
appears, from d statement by a cor
respondent of the Boston Daily Ad-
vertiser, made on the authority Gov
ernor Aiken, that care was taken to
prevent the people of the South from
seeing President Lincoln's first in
auguraI. It was garbIed and misrep-
sented to suit rebel schemes. The
opinion of Governor Aiken and 9TH
ers is, had that document been gen
orally known, no State, with, perhaps,
the exception of South Carolina,
would have seceeded.
