Tact and Talent.

Talent is something, but tact is eve
rything. Talent is serious, sober grave
and respectable-tact is all that, and
more too. 1t is not a seventh sense,
but it is the life of all FIVE. 1t is the
open eye, the quick ear, the judging
taste, the quick smell and the lively
touch; it is the interpreter of all rid
dies; the remover of all difficulties
the useful in all places and at all times.
1t is useful in solitude, for it shows
man his way through the world. Tai
ent is power; tact is skill; talent is
weight tact is momentum; talent
knows what to do; tact knows how to
do it; talent makes man respectable
tact makes him respected; talent is
wealth tact is ready money. For all
the respectable purposes of life, tact
carries it against talent-ten to one
Take them to the theatre, and put them
against each other on the stage, and
talent will produce you tragedy that
will scarcely live long enough to be
condemned while tact keeps the house
in roars night after night, with its sue
cessful farces. There is no want of
dramatic talent-there is no want of
dramatic tact-but they are seldom to-
gether; SO we have successful pieces
which are not respectable, and resp &C.
table pieces which are not successful
Take them to the bar and let them
shake their learned curls at each other
in legal rivalry; talent sees its way
clearly, but tact is first at its journeys
end. Talent has many compliment
from the bench, but tact touches fees
from attorneys and clients. Talent
speaks learnedly and logically, tact tri-
umphantly. Talent makes the world
wonder that it gets on no faster, tact
excites astonishment that it gets on so
fast; and the sec: ct is that it has no
weight to carry it makes no false steps;
it hits the right nail on the head it
takes all hints, and, by keeping its eye
on the weathercock, is ready to take ad-
vantage of every wind that blows; Take
them into the church. Talent has al
ways something worth hearing-tact is
always sure of an abundance of hearers
Talent gets good name-tact great
one Talent may obtain living-tact
will make one. Talent convinces-ta
converts. Talent is an honor to the
profession-tact gains honor from the
profession. Take them to court. Tai
ent itself is weight-tact finds its way.
Talent commands is obeyed. Tai
ent is honored with appreciation, and
tact is blessed with preferment. Place
them in the Senate Talent is fit for
employment, but tact is fitted for it. 1t
has knack of slipping into place with
a sweet silence and glibness of move
ment, as billiard ball insinuates itself
into the pocket. 1t seems to know ev-
erything without learning anything. 1t
has served an invisible and extemporary
apprenticeship. 1t wants no drilling.
1t never ranks in the awkward squad.
1t has no left hand, no deaf ear, no
blind side. 1t peruses no books of won
drous wisdom it has no air of profun-
dity; but plays with the details of place
as a well.taught hand fourishes over
the keys of the piano forte. 1t has all
the air of commonplace, and all the
force and power of genius

TToUBLE AMONG THE New YoRK

TToUBLE AMONG THE New York
EPIscoPALIANs.-There is more trou-
BILE in the Episcopal Diocese of New
York. Rev. Morgan Dix, one of the
churchmen, recently published Man
ual of Devotions, among which we're
prayers for the dead, and other eviden
ces of strong sympathy with the doc
trines of the Church of Rome. The
low churchmen are scandalized at this,
and demand action on the part of Bish-
op Pottcla ~ he has not yet uttered a
word of rebuke. Some time since, it
will be remembered Bishop Potter for
bade the low church clergy in his dio-
cese to exchange pulpits with nou-epis-
copal ministers Notwithstanding this,
DR.. John G. Smith, of the Church of
Ascension, few Sundays ago, invited
DR.. Craven, of New Jersey, a Presby-
terian, to preach for him. Hearing of
this, the Bishop forbade it; but the
vestry of Ascension Church voted to
disregard his order, and Dr. Craven
preached, as was announced. The Epis-
copal Recorder, low church organ of
Philadelphia, indorsed the action of the
meeting in disregarding what it terms
"a gross assumption of authority" and
says it is glad to learn that DR.. Dyer,
Episcopal, stood by his honored brother
of the Ascension, and took part in the
service. 1t adds: "If the Bishop of
New York continues to pursue this
course, it will be found that it is his
commands only that are harmless, and
that it is his silence that is alarming"

Square Talk.

think we're pretty well agreed
About this coming struggle;
We want the fair and square thing done,
No politicians juggle.
We want a man who'll be all thar
All thar with heart and hand,
To give US back the Union;
And that is where we stand.
We want the best that's made, we do,
Expense s of no account:
Just let us have the proper thing,
And draw for the amount.
We want the Union back again,
Each inch of lake and land;
The old concern, and nothing less;
And that is where we stand.
We want the right-the rightest man
We do not care fig
Whether he's Black Republican,
Blue Democrat or Whig;
He may be purple Carmelite,
Or yellow Amprazand;
We went the Union back again,
And that is where We stand.
A good square peace amt bad to take,
And war is rather rough;
Of one we amt had much of late,
= OF t'other quite enough.
If Union can be peaced, you know,
Well! peace it right away;
We want the Union back again.
And that is what we say.
If peace don't prove the groper game,
Well, then, just holler out;
We only want to know, you know,
There's lots of boys about.
If Ifhoney don't stick strong enough,
Well try the effex of steel.
We're bound to have the Union.
And that is how we feel.
We're all agreed on this one point,
Except few odd traitors,
Who don't amount at best, you know,
To very small potaters.
We're all agreed on this one point,
The Union fair and square.
Peace if we can, war if we must,
And that is where we airc.
We want the brave old flag to wave
From Texas up to Maine,
From Delaware to Golden Gate,
Around and back again;
Over each blade of grass that grows,
And every grain of sand.
The Stars and Stripes, and Union,
Thank God, for these we stand!

IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
Electricity as a Curative Agent.

y" HEN 1T WAS PROMULGATED BY
w the Directors of the ELECTROPATHIC
INTTTTUTE, that disease could be entirely
eradicated from the system without the use
of poisonous drugs, the thoughtless and
those who do not look deeply into cause and
effect secuted the assertion as chmerical. and
wrote long articles replete with sophistry,
claiming that only through the digestive sys-
tenn could the blooi be purged o:the poisons
which constitute disease ; great cry went
up from those interested in the continued
supremacy of the old system of one poison to
cure another. All of the empyrics Joined in
the chorus, and in their ignorance lau ghed at
the new system. circulating base stories of its
ill-success. and quoting imaginary cases as
proofs. Time has demonstrated their dis
honesty. After five years OF uninterrupted
success the Electropathic system is the lead
ing idea in medical Jurisprudence, while by
the old system, physicians were content TO
cure one in every five cases. there, were those
who were diving deep into the science of the
curative art among these were the Electro
pathists; finally, it was discovered that the
failure in most OF the cases of organic dis
ease, was entirely due to the machine. TAX
ing this view of the case, DR.. J. H. Josselyn,
after years of experiment, has perfected an
disease which flesh is heir, always to be un-
derstood that the case is not so far advanced
as to show destruction of the vital tissues.
We do not claim that the use of medicines
may not he more advantageous in some cases,
but, that in connection with medicines, it will
perform a cure much sooner than without,
and also that diseases hitherto deemed incur
able, can be cured by this system but the di-
rectors would take this opportunity To info-m
invalids that the Resident Physician is
regular graduate, and has had large exper-
ence in the treatment of diseases, both with
and without the aid of electricity, he has also
discovered several eclectic vegetable reme-
dies that will cure almost any nameable dis
ease, which he will send to any part of the
Pacific Coast upon receipt Of q complete des-
cr;ption of the disease with which the appi-
cant may be afflicted, aud will warrant per-
feet cure in all cases. where the medicines are
used according to directions, and more es-
pecial in cases of FEMALE TROUBLES,
tOhere great care and caution are necessary
to a faUorable result. From early morn until
late at night this instrument is employed,
imparting health and strength to all who are
so fortunate as to obtain its services. Dis
eases (Which by the old system took months,
or even years to cure, are now cured in few
days or weeks. The cost, too, is not so great
as by the old system. besides the saving of
time. Connected with this system is the re-

645 WASHINGTON Street.

This Institute was established to. if posi-
bic, prevent the unwary from falling into
those dens of robbery, (yclept quack doctors
traps), and hereafter the scientific originators
OF this Institute will not be to blame if the
afflicted are robbed of their money, and in
jured in constitution. There is also another
view of the affair. The rising generation
should be reared with strong constitution,
and the Directors wish to arouse their guard
ians to proper sence of their duties in their
premises, if possible to prevent them from
stufing their young charges with deleterious
drug, with a chance of entailing upon the
tender constitution, just forming, complica-
tion of evils, a thousand times worse than
death.
1t would be consuming space, to no pur-
pose, to enumerate the diseases to which this
system is applicable, suffice it TO say, that
there is no disease, within the catalogue of
human ills but what can be cured at the Elec-
