THE yAIrE CT CHARACTER.
The value of character thus established may be
briefly set forth:
!. To the possessor il is Of ines.mable present
benefit. 1t is the firm foundation of selfrespect.
Conscious OF rectitude and power. the can stand
before kings. Thus the wise Solon was enabled to
stand unsurpriscd and unabashed before the haughy
CrG>us III his splendid palace. Thus Frank.
lin. in his republican simplicity. could maintain a
commanding dignity among the proudest circles OF
European capitals. Character compes consider
aticn. Above all. it provides good conscience
that peace OF mind which is above all earthly dig
mites. "A good name is rather to bc chosen than
great riches"
g 1t affords well found expectation for the fu-
ture. Above all else character is abiding De
cay nor calamity can mar or destroy il. The
fercest Of these orlcals only brghtens and enrich
es il rs the furnace the silver. Death. even, does
no, lessen it. II survives Time itself
Virtue alone ou,bul, the pyramids;
Her monuments shall last, when Eyypts fall"
God is its prcscrvcr ana eternity its career. What

PLAYED! IL the reward be missed in the uncertain
and imperfect prese;t, the future holds it sure
The greatness Of the reward cin only be estimated
in the light OF eternity.

THAT eCoNyocATIoND Those in
liyiduals il our midst who get their
daily feed at the public crib have been
lashing themselves into a fury over the
proceedings Of the County Convention.
They call the delegates ugly names.
Their obfuscated olfactories snuff treason
in the very air. They pretend to dis
cover smell of gunpowder about the
resolutions, and already see the flaming
Of a new rebellion Poor fellows,
they deserve pity. They have lost
their protectors. Schenck's reign il
over, Wallace has returned to Hoosier-
dom, and Fish--well, no matter These

tend the helping hand to their weak

simply tempest in a very small tea
