The New York Tribune has the follo'

The New York Tribune has the follow
ing:
"Tbe action of Governor Curtin, OF
Pennsylvania, in taking tho lead in the
matter of the constitutional amendment,
is prudent and patrioic. We trust that
the Governors of all loyal States Will
take up the work that Congress has
thus far we'll done, and have the amend
ment to the constitution ratified. Now
is the time-now when there is day. III
we wait until the Legislatures meet we
may find that we have waited too long;
and that night is upon us. we second
the movement of Governor Curtin, and
call for a unanimous vote"
All of which means, simply, that 1t
| will not do to allow the people to have
say in the matter, througApewly elect
ed Legislatures. The amendment must
be put through before the people can
interpose objections through the ballot
boxes. The Tribune thinks with the
Legislatures elected under the was ex
citement, there is day; but ifthe matter
be deferred until new Legislatures can be
elected. or the regular time for the meet

Slow to Anger.

=" He that is SOW unto anger is better

the serenity of every ones temper; but
the wise man will strive alwaysto possess
his soul in patience, and not suffer annoy-

This requirement. is within tie Reach of.
every one, and is certainly worthy apow-
erful effort to obtain. Even the most
passionate need rot desp"ir, if he will
but make the government Of the temper
subject Of diligent, prayerful study.
An old gentleman, had been noted in
youth and middle life as a man of most
violent temper. 1t was the great burden
of his own life, and source Of unceasng
annoyance and deep sorrow to those
around him. At last he determined to
be its slave no longer. The lyrant who
had so long ruled him with his iron rod
should be subducd. 81 observed, !" said
he, 'that an angry person always raised

QuARRpLINc.-Ifanything in the world
will make man feel badly, except pinch
ing his fingers in the crack Of door, it is.
unquestionably, 3 quarrel. No man ever
fails to think less Of himself after it than
before. 1t degrades him in the eyes Of
others, and, what is worse, blunts his sen.
sibilities on the one hand. and increases
the power Of passionate irritabiity on the
other. The truth is, the more peaceably
and quietly we get on, the better for our
neighbors. In nine cases out OF ten, the
better course is, if-a man cheats you, qni,
dealing with him; if he is abusive, quit
his company; and if he SANDERS you,
take care to live SO that nobody will be-
slieve him. No matter who he is, or how
he misnses you. the wisest way is to let
him alone; for there is neihing better
than this cool, calm, and quiet way Of
dealing with the wrongs we meet with.
