Every one knows that in every human face
there is an impalpable, immaterial something,
which we call expression, which seems to be,
as it were, 'sthe soul made visible" Where
minds live in the region Of pure thoughts and
happy emotions, the felicities and sanctities of
the inner temple shine out through the mortal
tenement and play over it like lambent fame.
The incense makes the whole altar sweet; and
we can understand what the poet means when
he says that
Beauty born of murmurng sound
Shall pass into her face"
On the other hand, no man can lead gor-
mandizing, sordid or icentious life, and still
wear eountenance hallowed and sanctifed with
a halo Of peace and joy.-Horace Mann.

Interesting Extracts.

Some time since. Hon. s. S. Cox, of Ohio,
delivered speech in New York City from
which the following are extracts
'sBut the ruling spirit of these Jacobins was
Thaddeus Stevens. He is a man of iron will,
strong convictions, unfailing sarcasm, and vln-
dictiye feeling. His familiar speeches consist
in references to the abodes of the damned, as It
familiar with their ruler. He has been ilk (,
to that prince. But he resembles not the Satan
of Milton. whose sublime courage we respect
and whose intellect we admire-nor the Mlsto,,
pbeles of Goethe whose insidious DISCUSSES and
tempting lures led German scholars like Faust
and lovely Gretchens, like Margaret to ruin
Rather he resembles the devil Of Dante, who is
represented as three-faced devil--one red with
anger, one pale with envy, and the third black
with vengeance having three mouths
And at every mouth a sinner champed,
After which he swallowed his colleagues in dia-
bolical gee. (Laughter.) This was the genius
who presided over the junta Of fifteen, and gave
impression to the misdeeds of the Thirty-ninth
Congress.

these dead States are taxed as States by di-
