IMPEACHMENT.
A dispatch to the New York World is in
these words:

A dispatch to the New York World is in
these words:
II Is understood to-day that the plan ngreed
upon by the leaders Of the Impeachment move
ment Is to suspend the President rs soon rs
articles are preferred, Mr.. Wade stepping into
his position. II Is then proposed to prolong
the trial until Mr.. Johnson's regular term Of
once shall have expired, and ia the meantime
the South Is to be reconstructed over again.
whercupon the Worla gives It's own
version Of how the impeachment will be
effected, which opinion we give rs mat
ter Of curiosity, simply adding that, nccor-
ding to the copperhcad admission, John
sons threats that he will not suffer himself
to be deposcd, sounds like very empty
thunder. Says the Uorld.
This is adroit enough to he probable. A
prompt conclusion Of the trial would sub.
jcct the party to risks and Inconvenience
Of new Presidential clcction.-But IL the
proceedings can be protracted into the edge
Of October, the law does not require an
election in advance of the regular one next
year. The preliminary investigation will
I've spun ont ill the 9TH Of March, when
the new Congress meets, partly ~ device
for running the trial past the beginning Of
October. and partly to accomplish impor'
tant incidental objects II the President is
suspended. il is deemed necessary to have
as few Of his appointees in office at the
time rs possible. by the Constitution, his
unconfrmed appointments hold good until
the 9TH Of March, when the officers will go
out without a removal. The others being
Mr.. Lincoln's appointees, arc thought like.

President resists suspension, he will have
no agents through which he can admins.
ter the government. Mr.. Wa,lc, when de-
clarcd President, will Immediately I'LL the
vacancies. and the whole administrative
force of the government will obey his or
ders. President Johnson, having on con-
troll OF the administrative machinery, viii
be powcrlcss. His chiei Secretaries may
be disposed to obey him, hut nobody will
obey them. Congress will pass law stop,
ping the pay Of all military rs well Us civil
officers who Ito not adhere to the new Pres

treasury is UNREASONABLE. There ara Rad
icals enough in the army, both officers AMI
soldiers. to divide and distract il, especially
when their pay is made tn depend on their
espou.ing the Radical side if the Cabinet
officers refuse to give up the department
buildings and recor,is. ways enough could
be found to dispose Of seven unprotected

Is YOUR HUSBAND LIKE THAT.

lhere was poor woman who had fallen
into melancholy and murmuring frame of
mind. Her minister tried in VAIN TO iea-
son her out of it. She persisted that she
had nothing to be thankful for. AT last he
spoke to her Of her neighbours husband. an
Incorporate man. who wasted his money
when he was out, and ill., treated his vile
when he came home.
Now" he said :" is your husband like
thats"
No." was the reluctant answer.
Well, then. should you not thank God
that you have kind husband ?"
She was forced to admit this, and pro-
missed that she woald thank God every
night and morning for his mercy. Some
days elaspsed before the minister revisited
her dwelling but when he did so. he was
struck with her bright look. as she greeted
him.
Z "0h, Sir" she exclaimed. !" / have long
ed to see you |; | have SO wished to thank
you For morning or two did as |
prom ised. but did not rightly feel what
said. But the next day when | was thank
ing God that had kind husband.
hought should also thank him that had
healthy children; and when | was thank
ing HIM for that, thought | should thank
Him that had clothes for them to wear,
and house to cover their heads; and So.
sir, when was thanking God for one thing,
another Came into my head, and another
still and now know not where to stop,
or how to thank Him enough and J feel SO
happy !"
SO will il be with you, my reader, il you
will only try the experiment. For graft
tude increases with its use. The more
thankful we are, the more thankful we shall
become, and the more we shall have 10 be
thankful for.

A DEAD LADY BRoronT 70 LlFe.--An in.
teresting and astonishing event occurred
on the 2sd ult.. at the house Of Mr George
Chandler. farmer living near the Lowell

stopped on the afternoon of the day men
toned at Mr.. C.'s house 10 Iced his horse.
On entering the house. Mrs. Chandler in.
formed the Doctor that her daughter. Su-
san. died on Saturday. and that the body

THE POWER OF THE OLD BIBLE.

A Virginia banker who was the chair
man of noted in6del club, was once ira
yelling on horse back through Kentucky
having with him bank bills OF the value Of
twenty-five thousand dollars. When he
came TO lonely forest. where robberies
and murders were said to be frequent. he
was soon "lost," by taking wrong road.
The darkness Of the night came quickly
over him, and how to escape from the threa-
tened danger he knew not. In his alarm
he suddenly espied in the distance dim
light. and urging his horse onward he at
length cane To wretched looking cabin.
He knocked and the door was opened by a
woman, who said that her husband was out
hunting, but would shortly return, and she
was sure he would cheeriully give hlm shell
ter for the night. The gentleman tied up
his horse and entered the cabin. but with
feelings which may be better imagined than
described. Here he was. with large sum
Of money, alone, and perhaps in the house
Of one OF those robbers whnse name was a
terror 10 the country.
In short time the man OF the house re-
turned. He had on deer skin hunting
shirt, bear skin cap, seemed much ia
tigued. and in no talkative mood. All this
bOded the in6del no good. lie fell for his
pistols in has pocket aud placed them so as
TO be ready Tor instant use. The man ask
ed The stranger 10 retire 10 bed. but he de-
clined. saying that he would sit bs The FIRE
all night. The man urged. bul the more
the lnhdel was alarmed. lie Ielt assured
that this was bis last night on earth, bu: he
determined 10 sell his life as dearly as he
could. His Infdel principles gave him no
comfort. His fears grew into a perfect
agony. What was 10 be done.
Al length the backwood rose. and
reaching 10 wooden shelf, he took down
an old book and said:
Well stranger. il YOU wont 90 TO bed.
! will but i is my custom always 70 read
ehapter Ofholy Scriptures before go to
bed" !"
What change did these words produce.
Alarm was at once removed fro n the skep-
ties mind though asowing himself IN in
hdel. he had nov confidence IN the Bible !.
lie ielt safe. lie felt that man who kept
an old Bible in his house, and read IL. and
bent his knee in prayer. was no robber OF
murderer lie listened to the simple pray.
er of the good man. al once dismissed all
his fears. and lay down 10 that rude cabin
and slept as calmly he did under his faith
er'- roof. Frnm that nigh, he ceased to re-
vile the old Bible. lie became a sincere
christian. and oiien related the story Of his
journey to prove the iolly Of inideliiy.

A FAITHFUL WTE.-A touching scene
was enacted upon The Market Square this
morning, calculated to impress the beholder
with high estimation of a woman S patience
and her answering affection. A staid
couple, somewhat advanced in years, ar
rived from The rural districts with load
OF some description Of produce calculated
to contribute to the sustenance of the city,
and the old gentleman had wandered off to
one OF the numerous places of entertain
ment Tor man aud beast surrounding the
market, intrustng the mercantile interest
entirely 10 the charge OF the old lady.
Alter disposIng ol the load the good mat.
ron prepared To return home, and started
IN pursuit Of her truant lord, whom she
found near al hand, stretched at full length
on bench and under total prostration Of
his mental and physical faculties, as if
irom fit oi apOplex. o. sun stroke. Ten
derly raising the inanimated form in her
arms. the good wife conveyed him bodily
10 the farm wagon on the opposite side Of
The street, and tumbled him gently over
The end board. Then mounting The vehicle
herself, she seized him by the neck band
Of his shirt. and dragged him Ienglhwise
OF the box in the position in which dead
bodies are usually slowed. Having ac-
complished her labor Of love, the kind old
lady wiped the perspira,iOn from her brow
with the Corner Of her apron, tenderly re-
marking to the unconscious sleeper; !" Now
lay there. you old Tool, I'LL get yer home |;
