The way to cure inlldeity in another is to
be Christian ones self
God is served not only by single denom-
ination, but by all Christians OF all ages.
Why is Il selfish friend like the letter p ?
Because, though the first in pity, it is the
last in help.

long will it take TO make an axe sharp
And affairs that had no pinch in them, how

SELECTIONS FROM HENRY WARD
BEECHER's SERMoNs.-God pardons like a
mother who kisses the offence into everast-
ing forgetiulness.
Do the best you can where you are when
that is exhausted, God will open door for
you, and Il voice will call, Come up hither
into higher sphere
A mans conscience should ever 30 with
him like an atmosphere of life. Many men
carry their conscience like drawn sword
cutting this way and that IN the world but
sheathe it and keep it very soft and quiet
when it is turned within.
Tcacher-"What part of speech is the
word egg ?n

Boy Cooking sharp)-"Cmt say, sir,

A week filled up with selishness, and the
Sunday stuffed full Of religious exercises
will make IA good Pharisee, but poor
Christian. There are many persons who
think Sunday is a sponge with which to
wipe out the sins of the week Now, God S
altar stands from Sunday to Sunday, and
the seventh day is no more for religion than
any other. 1t is Tor rest The whole seven
are for religion, and one of them for rest.
Religion-it is the bread of life. | wish

such expressions. Why remember when

dressed in the morning, but run and cut Il

at breakfast il diligence earned wages,

again, and again before tea, and then at tea,
and lucky il did not eat again after that.
1t was bread, bread all the time, which ate
and lived ON, and got strength from. And
so religion is the bread of life. You make
it the cake. You put it in your cupboards,

and pass ii round on your best plates in
stead OF using it as bread, TO be eaten every
day and every hour

WITTY TEMPERANCE MEN. - Several
clergymen travelling together were much
annoyed by fellow who had been drinking,
but who feigned much of his drunkenness,
that he might more readily attack the min
listers. Standing near them, he remarked:
well, it's singular, yes it is, that l never
get drunk only when in the company of
ministers" He repeated something like
this, when one of the gentlemen turned upon
him, asking: DO you know the reason for
it?" NO" replied the fellow, "perhaps you
can tell me- Because said the clergy
man, "when with such company you get all
the drink to yourself"
This recalls the anecdote of Horace Gree
lev. who was once met at a railroad depot
by a red-faced individual who shook him
warmly by the hand. 81 don't recognize
YOU" said Mr.. Greeley. "Why, yes, you
must remember how we drank brandy and
water together at certain place" This
amused the bystanders, who knew Mr.. Gree
ley's strong temperance principles. "Oh, |
see, replied Mr.. Greeley, drily, you drank
the brandy, and / drank the watern On
another occasion the philosophers wit sill
enced some of his Office associates. Mr..
Greeley had given an account of wine din
ner and wrote that the party had indulged
in Heidseck and Champagne, these both be-
ing names for the same kind of wine. His
associates laughed heartily at his mistake.

The Buffalo cypress, stating that Hon. j.
S. Morrill, had declined to be a candidate for
reelection to the House, says
1t is understood that Mr.. Morrill,, retiring
from service in the House, will not decline
TO permit himself to be pressed by his
friends as a candidate for the U. S. Senator
ship, to be made vacant by the expiration
Of the term for which Judge Poland was ap-
pointed. If a candidate, we cannot doubt
that the people Of his State, through their
Legislature elected next fall, will confer the
Senatorial Office upon MIN. in preference,
upon the score of tried usefulness and expe-
rience to any other man of public distinct
ion in Vermont. Could it depend upon the
general suilrages of the Union party of the
country, no result would be more certain.
Mr. Morrill, has reputation for legislative
efficiency, practical knowledge and high tai
ent hardly equallcd by any of the men with
whom he has served during the recent try
ing years of the nation. Politically, he is
sound to the hearts core, aud no better rep
resentative of the uncompromising Repub-
licansm Of the sturdy Green Mountain
State" can by possibility be found.

THE SUFFERINGs OF WoMEN.-An
oyer-worked woman is always a sad sight
sadder great deal than an over-worked
man, because she is so much more fertile in
capacities of suffering than man. She has
so many varieties of headache-sometime
Sisera into her temple, sometimes tightening
around the brow as if her cap-band were
Luke's iron crown-and then her neuralgias
and backaches, and her fits of depression.
and many more trials, linked to her fine and
noble structure, entitle her to pity, when she
is placed in conditions which develop her
nervous tendencies.

~ PORTLAND MERCHANT.-Mr. John B.
Brown, the proprietor ofthe extensive Sugar

million of dollars. only about half of which

INCIDENT OF THE PORTLAND FIRE
The Portland Press says that during the
revolutionary war, when Mowatt burned
Portland an infant but few weeks old was
removed from house on Forest street be-
low India street, iff that town, and taken
out of the town for safety. The house was
burned down. During the conhagration
last Wednesday night that same infant was
removed from house erected on the spot
where stood the one burned by Mowatt.
from which ninety years ago she had been
removed, and she was once more taken to a
place of safety. She was the venerable Miss
Hannah Thorlo, the daughter of Capt. Peter
Thorlo. She is now ninety-one years of age,
of iniirn health, but possessing a remarka-
bly, bright mind. Fortunately the house of
her childhood was untouched by the fire.

FUGITIvE MoRMoNs.-Fifteen wagons
recently passed through Cottonwood, Kan

families, making about eighty persons, who

He had been Chief Clerk of the Twelve
Apostles at Nauvoo, Illinois, From thence
he went to Jackson County. Missouri. and
from thence he travelled with them to Salt

We observe that good deal of sickly
sentimentality is being indulged over the
fact that Mr.. Jefferson Davis was Temporal
rily placed in irons, when he was inlprison-
ed last May at Fortress Monroe. 1t is charg
ed that Mr. Secretary Stanton had this DONE
and he is denounced by the secession press
as having committed great outrage on the
Southern people and against humanity. This
is an indirect blow at the President for Mr.
Stanton represented the President in that, as
in all other matters.
1t was hard for Mr. Davis to be ironed, but
how many thousands of poor conscripts did
he cause to be put in irons ITO he shot q
to be tortured ITO he hunted like partridges
in the gorges of the mountains 9-to be torn
from their weeping wives and children, who
were left to starvc, while they were forced
into war which they abhorred, and in which
success was known to be impossible? God
is just. Sin is punished even in this world.
Many of these conscripts were better men
morally than Mr.. Davis, and their families,
poor though they were, were as dear to them
as the family of Mr.. Davis was to him. We
never shall forget the feelings of our Union
people in this City, when, for twelve long
months before the war closed, the daily spec
tacle on our main street was that of march
ing conscripts, with heads bowed, with irons
and ropes on their limbs, on their way to
Camp Holmes, and thence to death in battle
or in the hospital. Onr Union people were
obliged to look on in silence. One word
even of condemnation would have brought
the rope or the mob on them. But they are
now free, and though under the ban of the
State administration, (Which is really no
more loyal than the Vance administration
that aided in these thingsO they can at least
sag what they please.
If we were anxious to see Mr.. Davis exc
cuted, or if we desired to add to his punish
ment, We should rather encourage than dep
recate these manifestations of sympathy in
his behalf But every effort to bring the
government into disgrace on his account will
only make his doom more sure and terrible
Those who indulge this sentimentality, and
whoare branding the government with odium
on his account, are therefore really his worst
enemies !.

The SEMI el assails Mr.. Bryan, OF Wilkes,
as radical, ? because he offered and after
wards withdrew an amendment to the Con-
stitution, requiring that State Senators here
after to be elected shall always have been
loyal to the United States government. That
paper is both surprised and indignant at Nh.
Bryan If Mr. Bryan be radical" then is
President johnson also radical" for he
has declared, time and again, that if there be
but five thousand loyal men in State to
them should be eonfided the control of affairs.
And if the Editors of the Sentinel will take
the trouble to 60 to Washington and ask
the President if he still holds this opinion,
TIe viii ten II Il gaass eRspsasic man
ner that he does We speak "by the book"
One of the strongest proofs of the disloyal
feeling of the Sentinel and those for whom it
speaks, is the surprise and indignation it
eyinces at the bare mention of floyalty as pre-
requisite for office. Things have got to such
pass in this respect that the organ of Gov.
Worth boots at the idea OF loyalty.
The Sentinel is very careful to inform its
readers that Mr.. Bryan served as Captain
in the federal army. The Sentinel considers
this badge of disgrace. If the State were
fully back in the Union under present aus
pices, and if such as the Sentinel had control
of the Convention, it would not be long be-
fore Capt. Bryan would be expelled from that
body for having served in the federal army.
Capt Bryan's offence is that he was not true
to the Confectionery And yet such as the
Editors of the Sentinel and those for whom
thay speak, are to govern loyal men. Never
-Out people will not submit to snch degrada-
tiot. Welcome the Howard amendment
welcome any thing that wilirelieve our loyal
pcolbl from the selfish and polluting grasp
of sllch politicians! If such men are to
govet In us, then the Union is humbug and
loyalA u an empty sound.
Ca,tt. Bryan, with his colleague Mr.. Smith,
represd dnts noble Union constituency. They
have b 18th suffered in the Union cause The
poop Of Wilkes have reason 70 be proud
that thq are represented in the Convention
by such tgood and true men.
