so this infatuated man has now at last
fully revealed himself as the most

into the abyss of universal contempt.
Trusted by no one, despised most by
those who profit by his treaehery, he
will remain, we trust, forever in human
history the most eminent example of the

C0ncer.,ing Eyes.

The eye is the index Of the soul-the
interpreter OF thought feeling, and char
acter.
In that tiny ball, so marvellously set
beneath the sheltering brow, may be
read the strange volume Of human life,
with its varied phases and vicissitudes,
its hopes, its griefs, its faith, its fears its
high resolves, its base designs, its noble
endeavors, and its guilt and crime.
In this eyeglass ofthe soul-this trans
parent Tense Of human life, so curiously
wrought with skill divine; 50 delicate
it could be crushed beneath finger tips;
so sensitive, q mote might destroy it; so
mall, you could pack it within the COM
pass Of your thimble-in this wonderful
spirit glass are signs and revelations, his
tories and prophecies that leap to our
vision with the rapidity and suddeness
of electric fire. disclosing soul-pictures
and hear secrets which tongue or pen
could not reveal.
How wonderful this magic lamp that
reveals the spirit life! what strange
forms and faneies mount 10 view as kim
ding thought and emotion fiuctuate
within the soul! Within the light of
its electric fire what passions rise
what loves, what hates, what celestial
limitations.
The eye reflects the complexion of the
spirit, and, in this faithful mirror, what
deep secrets are revealed!
The eye is the key Of character, If
you would know of spirit, look into the
eye. If you would know the temper
OF your neighbor you need not follow
him to business or his home, look in at
the window OF his soul. Is he sour and

Congress aslet tie Country

Harper's Weekly, after some words OF
praise OF Senator Fessenden, has the fol-
lowing upon the mischief which Mr..
Stevens does as leader of the House:
\ total contrast to Senator Fessenden
is Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens, who has been
permitted by the House of Representa-
tives to take the position of a leader
Mr.. Stevens has no single quality OF
statesman, except strong conviction and
fidelity to principle. He is strictly
revolutionary. leader; reckless, unsparing,
vehement, vindictive, loud for the rights
OF conquerors, intolerant of opposition,
and as absolutely incapable OF fine dis
elimination and generous judgment asa
locomotive of singing. OF a pleasant
humor and personal kindliness, he is no
more fitted for the task of reconstruction
which devolves on Congress than a .ovial
blacksmith to repair watch, "a butcher
to take up hidden arteries and sundered
veins in the very region OF the heart
Yet Congress, which is undoubtedly,
one of the ablest that was ever assem-
bled, has quietly allowed itself to be
almost puppet in the hands OF such a
man and at such Il. time. The cOnse-
quence is that Mr.. Stevens crude ana
rash talk is supposed to be the voice Of
Congress. 4 legislator who undertakes
to regulate the price of gold by law is
the tacitly acknowledged chief of
