The Columbus Statesman hits off III,
Moses question.
The radical press have fallen into
the habit of speaking of President
johnson, by way Of derision, as
I'.tMoses." There is more pertinenct
in this designation than most people
at first glance, will imagine. After
Moses had delivered the Children OF
Israel from, the clutches of the Egyp-
tians, under the guidance of God
they became dissatisfied with him
thought him slow coach--false to
his pledges and promises = and there,
upon ''the people gathered themselves
unto Aaron, and said unto him, up,
make us gods which shall go before
us; for as for this Moses, the man
that brought us out of Egypt, we wet
not what has become of him."
Aaron took their jewelry and made
them molten cali, which they fell to
worshipping. The Almighty became
so sorely displeased with their con
duct that He would have visited swift
destruction upon the whole of them
had it not been for the intercession OF
Moses; and he encountered great diff
Guilty in inducing the people to return
to the worship of the true God. Like
Moses, President Johnson, in the esti-
nation of the radicals, is slow coach,
as false to his professions and promi-
ses, and they turned to Stevens and
called to him, "Up, make us gods
which shall go before us" "' like
Aaron, he has made them political
molten calf, which they are now wor-
Shipping instead Of the Constitution.
Moses like, President johnson is call
ing upon the people to abandon this
false worship,9 and return to the wor-
ship of the Constitution, lest they
shall be visited, as punishment; with
political death, as the Children of
Israel would have been visited with
physical and moral death, had they
persisted in the worship of the molten
calf that Aaron had made for them.
Why we should Wear Boards.
There are more solid Inducements
foy wearing the beard than the mere
improvement of mans personal ap-
pearance and the cultivation Of such
an aid to the everyday diplomacy of
life. Nature combining, as she never
fails to do, the useful with the orna-
mental, provides us with far better
respirator than science could ever
make, and one that is never so hideous
to wear as that black seal upon the
face that looks like a passport to the
realms Of suffering and death. The
hair of the moustache not only alb
serbs the moisture and miasma of the
fogs, but it strains the air from dust
and the SCOT of our great smoky cities.
II acts also in the most scientific
manner, by taking heat from the
warm breath as it leaves the chest,
and supplying it to tho cold dir tohon
in. 1t is not only a respirator, but
with the beard entire, we are provided
with comforter as well--and these
are never left at home, like the um-
brellas and all such appliances when
ever they are wanted. '.
Moffat and Livingstone, the African
explorers, and many other travellers,
say that in the night no wrapper can
equal the beard. The remarkable
thing is, too, that the beard, like the
hair of the head, protects againts the
heat of the sun it acts as a thatch
does to an ice-house; but more than
this, it becomes moist with the perspi-
ration, and then, by evaporation, cools
the skin. .a5ul3o
A man who accepts this protection
of natures, may face the rudest storm
and the hardest winters. He may go
from the hottest ROOM into the coolest
air without any dread; and We verify
believe he might sleep in a morass
with impunity, at least his chance OF
escaping the terrible fever wonld be
better than his beardloss companions
