REcUPERATIvE Power -There is much IN
he follwing extract from Lord Maeaulay 9
history OF England, to encourage our people
amid their present troubles: In every human
bsing there is wish to meliorate his own con-
.lititioo This principle has often sntticed, even
when eounteractea by great calamitles and by
bad institutions, to carry civilization rapidly
forward No ordinary misfortunes, no ordlna-
~ disagreement, will do SO much to make q
nation wretched, as the constant progress OF
physical knowledge. and the constant effort Of
every man to better himself, will do TO make a
nation prosperous. 1t has often been found
that profuse expenditure, heavy taxation, alb
surd commercial restrictions, corrupt tribunals,
disastrous wars, seditions, prosecutions, contia.
yrations and inundations, have not been able to
destroy capital so fast as the exertions Of prl-
yate citizens have been allie to create it.

FAITH, HOPE, AND CHARITY.

~ ~ Z.
sY SARAH j. WIT I'll Es EY.
Faith is tho blossom ofthe mind,
That sheds it soft perfume
On every cruel wind, or kind
2 In golden light, or gloom;
Hope is the star that guides the heart
Across life's dusky wave;
It's silYery shinings ne er depart,
From the cradle to the grave.
But Charity the gentle dew,
That Allssthe lovely flower,
And ,gilds the star with richer nue.,
BYoits Te-luming power;
Faith droops upon its feeble stem:
Without the dew Of love,
and paints the light of Hopes star-gsla,
That leads to light above.
The Orphan way is cold ana rude,
No mothers tender care
VIII brighten up its solitude;
and warm il with a prayer
Then let kind Charity attend
Soft-bosomed "a the May,
End be. the orphans mother frisnd
Te cheer their lonely way.

Southern people. Our leaders told us these
harsh measures were necessary to keep
down the spirit of resistance at the South.
We are beginning to discover that the
Southern people are willing to live by the
Constitution, and whatever the leaders
may desire, the masses Of the Republicans
will exact nothing more. We are ready tc
repudiate the policy OF our leaders, but we
do not like the Democrats and there is no
third party. Neither do we like Andrew
johnson, yet I tell you frankly we are
troubled with the thought that such bad,
ill-tempered man as Wade may possibly

that Governor Hayes, the republican Gov
