GOD IN HISTORY.


SENATOR'S, REpREsNTATIvEs OF AMER
IoA: That God rules in the affairs of men
is as certain as any truth of physical science.
On the great moving power which is from
the beginning, hangs the world Of the senses
and the world ofthought and action. Eter-
nal wisdom marshals the great procession Of
the nation. working in patient continuity
through the ages. never hating and never
abrupt, encsmpassing all events in its over
sight, and ever affecting its will, though
mortals may slumher in apathy or oppose
with madness. Kings are lifted up ol
thrown down, nations come and CO. republics
flourish and wither, dynasties pass away
like tale that is told; but nothing is by
chance, though men in their ignorance oi
causes may think so. The deeds of time are
governed, as well as judged, BY the decrees
Of eternity. The caprice Of feeting exist
suces bends to the immovable omnipotence
which plants its foot on all the centuries
and has neither change of purpose nor re
pose. Sometimes, like messenger through
the thick darkness Of night, it steps alous
mysterious ways; but when the hour strikes
for people, or for mankind to pass into d
new form Of being, unseen hands draw the
bolts from gates Of futurity; an all subduinl
influence prepares the mind of men for ths
coming revelation; those who plan resist
ance End themselves ia conflict with tht
will Of Providence rather than with human

Of the unwilling, are wonderfully. attracted
and compelled to bear ierward the change
which becomes more an obedience TO the

The application of that proviso was inter.
rupted for three administrations; butjustice
moved steadily. onwards. In the news
that the men Of California had chosen free
dom, Calhoun heard the knell of parting
Slavery; and on his death bed he counseled
secession. Washington, and Jefferson, and
Madison, had died despairing of the atoli-
tion of Slavery: Calhoun died in despair at
the growth OF freedom His system rushed
irresistibly to its natural development. The
death struggle for California was followed
by o short truce; but the aew school Of
POLITICIANS who said that Slavery was not
evil, but good, soon sought TO recover the
grouad they had lost, and. confdentr Of So
curing Texas, they demanded that the es
tablished line in the territories between
Freedom and Slavery should be blotted out.
The country, believing in the strength and
enterprise and expansive energy dffreedom
made answer, though reluctantly "Be il
SO; let there be no strife between brethren
let freedom and Slavery compete for the ter,
ritories on equal terms, iu fair field, under

theory, If op any, the contest might have

break the force of the fall, little kitty fas-

which caused her to scream with pain

about three hundred passengers on board

all had persisted, but several escaped and
returned to their homes after an absence
of from one to three days. There lived
at Milwaukee, at the time, burly Ger

and an oval faced cherub of eighteen
summers, boy by nature, Schneideider

young bologna sausage in all of its pris-
tine bloom.
Schneider coaxed his two derivatives
to 20 on the Inflated steamer. News
came that she was lost. The anguish
striker Teuton in paroxism of grief
called on us in the editorial rooms to in
auirer about his boy. We told him we
were informed that all was lost, and of
course his boy was gorer. He seated
himself on pile of books and thus hell
forth:
"Mein Colt. Mein Colt Mr.. Bum.

We accompanied the grief-sticken one
to a saloon where lager was held forth,
and over glass of the beverage he thus
continued:
"Now, Mr.. Bumroy, mine heart be aus

RATHER Cool. Here is a story Of
days when travelling on canal-boats was
considered the best mode of getting along
on journey out West: "Hallo, there,
Capting" said Green Mountain Yankee,
to the captain on packet on the Erie
Canal, "what do you charge for passage ?"
"Three cents per mile and boarded"
said the captain
"Wal, 1 guess I'll take passage, cap
ting, seeing as how am kinder gin eout
walking so tarna.ion far"
Accordingly he got on board just as the
steward was ringing the bell for dinner.
Jonathan sat down and began to demol-
ish the 'fxins" to the utter consterna-
ton of the captain, until he cleared the
table of all that was eatable, when he got
up anu went on deck, picking his teeth
very comfortably.
,''How far is it, capting, from here to
where came aboard ?"
"Nearly one and half miles, said the
captain
"Let's see, said Jonathan, shat would
be just four and half cents; but never
mind, capting, l won't be small; here's
five cents, pays my fare up to here; |
guess I'll go ashore now; I'm kinder rest
ed out"
The captain vamosed for the cabin,
and Jonathan went ashore.
A clergyman. at the examination of
the young scholars of his Sunday school,
put the following question:
"Why did the children of Israel set
up golden calf?"
"Because they had not none yenough
to set up an OK" was the pupils reply.
