CoNJUGAL LovE.-Affection
may be won by the sweetness
of disposition, and esteem and
respect by talents and by yir-
tue; but no other quality can
confer the nameless interest
which arises from a happy CON
gruity of tastes and of pursuits.
To feel with one heart, to judge
with one mind, and to look
tothe same high and pure sour
ces for happiness, are the most
beautiful links in the golden
chain of domestic union.

THE ONLY NEW THTNGs.

THE ONLY NEW THINGs.-
The London Spectatorsays that
a very distinguished Anglo
Indian, who had just returned
to his place of exile after q
short holiday spent in the old
country, was asked one day
what fresh impressions English
life had made upon him, and
replied, "Oh! there's nothing
new at home but underground
railways and having your hair
brushed by machinery"

ANECDOTE OF ADMIRAL FAR
RAGUT.-When Admiral Far
ragut was ten years of age, his
father, then an officer of rank
in the U. s. Navy, and high in
the estimation of the Govern
ment, said in his sons hearing,
that when he (the boy) was old
enough to make q compact
and keep it, he had a bargin to
offer him. The son rose up
and asked his father to state
the terms of the compact. The
Admiral said: "The proposal
that / intend to make is this:
If you viii not smoke nor chew
tobacco, drink Intoxicating
drinks nor strong wines, till
you are twenty-one years of
age, | viii then give you $1,000
/" [ am old enough to make
that bargin now," said young
Farragut: " | will accept the
Offer" The bargin was closed.
And on the attainment of
young Farragut's majority, the
cash was handed over.

feeling asrevealed by the Pres
ident's journey, says" i'm
pressed as we are with the
gloomy prospect, it is not, how
ever, all gloomy. 1t is dark,
but not all darkness. President
johnson is regarded as the
friend of the South, but he is
not her friend because she is
the South. The interests, of
the South are wrapped up, at
present, in the preservation of
the Union upon the principles
of its founders; and President
Johnson happens to be our
friend because he is the advo-
cate, not of her interests per Sc,
but of that in which her inter-
ests are involved. He has not
come to the South, but the
South has come to him, In
1861 the South endeavored to
leave the Union. In
leaving the Union she left An
drew Johnson behind her. She
now returns to the Union, and
finds President Johnson Just
where she left HMM the
Union and for the Union
There is some ground of hope
that the thinking men of the
North will see the Importance
ofsustaining the President, and
by their united efforts over
come the madness which seems
to rule the hour there. Other
wise may God save the coun-
try, for the success of Radical
ism will only make the North a

South a second St. Domingo
Religious creed of J. G..
Whittier, the Quaker poet !:
Painfully sensible. of my in
firmities and liabilities to error,
| instinctively shrink from as
suming the office of teacher
and guide of others. I simply
wish to say that my ground of
hope for myself and humanity
is in that divine fullness of
love which was manifested in
the life, teachings, and self-sac-
rifice of Christ-the Way, the
Truth, and the Life. In the
infinite mercy of God so re-
Vealed, and not in any work or
merit of our nature, Ireverent-
ly, humbly, yet very hopefully
trust.
"I regarded Christianity as
a life rather than a creed, and
in judging my fellowmen lean
use no other standard than
that which our Lord and Mas
ter has given us: BY their
fruits ye shall know them.
The only orthodoxy that | am
specially interested in is that
of life and practice. On the
awful and solemn theme of hui
man destiny | dare not dog
matize but with the unfolding
of the great mystery, | rest in
the firm faith that, whatever
may be our particular allot-
ment, God viii do the best that
is possible for all.

DANIEL WEBsTER's PRoPHE-
CY.-The present time, says q
cotemporary, calls to mind the
famous prophecy of Daniel
Webster, uttered in Faneuil
Hall in the Spring of 1850:
"If the Internal fanatics and
abolitionists ever get power in
their hands they will override
the Constitution, set the SUI
preme Court at defiance, make
laws to suit themselves, lay
violent hand on those who differ
with them in their opinions, or
dare question their infallibility,
and finally bankrupt the coun-
try, and deluge it in blood"
