Tact and Talent.

Talent is something, but tact is
everything. Talent is serious, sob
cr, grave, and respectable; tact is
all that, and more too. 1t is not a
seventh sense, but it is the life of
all the five. 1t is the open eye,
the quick ear, the judging taste,
the keen smell, and the lively touch;
it is the interpreter Of all riddles
the surmouuter Of all difficulties
the remover Of all obstacles. 1t is
useful in all places, and at oil times;
it is useful in solitude, for it shows
a man his way into the world it is
useful in society, for it shows him
his way through the world. Talent
io puwer-tact Is sKlil talent Is
weight--tact is momentum talent
knows what to do--tact knows how
to do it talent makes a man re-
spcctablc--tact will make him re-
spected talent is wealth--tact is
ready money. For all the practical
purposes of life tact carries it
against ta!cnt--tcN to one.

The purposes of Radicalism to
concentrate all the power of Govern
ment in the hands of Congress is
being openly avowed. The follow
ing from that "loyap' sheet, the
Chicago Post, Of 4 late date speaks
for itself, and proves most satisfac-
torily that the Constitution, and
Supreme Court, and the President,
are merely iotbalIs in the path OF
Radicali2m. The Post says:
The Judiciary Committee Of the
House in whose hands rests the pros
ecution of the impeachment ques-
ton, met yesterday in Washington.
We predict that the earnestncss of
their investigation will depend much
on the result of the injunction ques-
tion now pending in the Supreme
Court. 1t remains with the Prcsi-
dent and the Supreme Court to de-
termine whether they will respect
the law, or invite congress to stepi in
and relieve them both of their func-
tions. All Congress desires is that
the laws which they make shall be
enforced. One President is as good
as another; but one who WILL do it
they will be sure to have.

Irrefragabie Proof.

ever-so-many o'clock. On reaching
his door steps and fishing up his night

essentially conyiyialized, and not
precisely in that condition which a
good husband should be to meet a
good wife. Cautiously entering the

A Sisters Influence.

THAT man has grown among kind
and affcctionate sisters, y ] once
heard lady of much observation
and experience remark. "And why
do you think so - said l. "Be-
cause of the rich development of all
the tendcrer feelings of the heart,
which are so apparent in every word. y
A sisters influence is felt, even in
manhood's later years and the
heart Of him who has grown cold
with its chilling contact with the
world will warm and thrill with
pure enjoyment. as some incident
awakcs within him the soft tones
and glad melodies Of his sister 8
voice. And he will turn from pur-
poses which a warped and false
philosophy has reasoned into cx-
pediency, and weep for the gentler
influence which moved him in his
earlier wears.

G0ElOVer aaCi ASHLEY.

1t is stated in Washington jour-
nal that Conover, who is now con-
fined in Jail in that city instead of
serving out the ten years imprison-
ment at Albany, to which he was
sentenced, holds daily lcvec for
the opponents of the President, and
receives long and confidential visits
from James NJ. Ashley, of Ohio, the
principal impeacher and inccndiary,
who hopes to ignite the Potomac.
Conovor has also been placed in
comfortable quarters, and furnished
with abundant writing materials.
1t is suggested that Ashley and
Company are preparing him as a
leading witness in the impeachment
business; but why not summon Holt
as a witness also, or more appropri
ately, as tutor to Conover?-Cleve-

THE Cosr OF CARRYING ON A
Waffle money and material ex-
pended in carrying on q war, is a
dead loss to the world. The whole
thing tends to destruction-loss of
material and the loss oflife. The
quantity of war material used in the
late rebellion by the union army
was enormous--almost beyond be-
lief. There were, for instance,
about eight thousand cannons and
eleven thousand gun carriages utter
ly used up in the course of the war.
Of iron projectiles, in the shape OF
shot and shell, the quantity used
was about 1000, 600 lbs weisht
wnlIe the amount of lead consumed
is set down in official reports at so,
600, 600 pounds. The consumption
Of guupowder was 26, 600, 900 pounds
OF muskets, rifles, and otLar small
arms no less than 3,4CO, 200 were
destroyed or rendered useless in the
service; while over 1900, 600 sets
Of complete accouterments disappear
cd in the same way. Besides the
bulk of the gnnpowder above men
toned, about q thousand million
cartridges were consumed, and a
larger number ofpercussion caps.-
These are but a few items in the
total expenses Of conducting a large
war, and are estimates Of the north
ern army only.

Looking at the Bright Side

Here is a letter from a wife in
Massachusetts, to her husband in
California. She don't intend going

"MY DEAR HUsDAND-As it is
now some time since you left for
California, l suppose you would be
glad to hear how we are getting

to say We arc enjoying very good
health on the whole. Just at pre-

LIFE AND ITS END.-Remcmbor
for what purpose you were born, and
through the whole of life, look at its
end. Consider when that comes, in
what you put your trust. Not in
the bubble of worldly vanity-it
will be broken; not in worldly pleas
ures-it will be gone; not in worldly
connections-they cannot serve you;
not in rankin the grave there is
no distinction; not in the recollec-
objections Of a life spent in giddy
conformity to the silly fashions of a
thoushtless and wicked world; but
trust in life spent sobcrly, right
eously and wisely, in tho present
world.

IMPROVEMENT OF TIME.-Ursines,
professor in the University of Hoi-

idlers and bablers from intcrrupting
him in his hours Of study, had writ

"Fricnd, whoever you may be, who
enter here, be quick with your bus
mess, or 60 away DR.. Cotton
Matbcr who knew the value of time
in everything, was never willing to
lose a moment of it. 70 effect this
purpose he had written upon the
door Of his study, in large letters,
''Be brief" The learned Scalliger
placed the following sentence upon
tho door Of his cabinet: "My time
is my cstate.' The favoritc maxim
OF Shakespeare was, "Consider time
too precious to be spent in gossip

Tho thirty-fourth anniversary Of

speaker. Resolutions were adopted
that the nation owes to its self-re-
spect. to justice. to the future secu-
rity and the present safety Of the
colored race. to impeach and remove
the traitor Of the White House at
once. Every hour that Congress
delays that action. insults the ma

more and more the innocent blood

en- all the friends Of freedom to keep
vigilant and ceaseless watch on the
Supreme Court, and the present ef-
fort Of the rebels to make use of it
in order to block the wheels of the

Of confscation and the division of
confscated land among the negroes,
is an act of justice to them, and the

Wheat Going West,

From the Albany Evening Journal.
Wheat has already reached this
city from New York; and it will 60
farther west as soon as it can be
forwarded. A number of cargoes
have been received from California
by wAy of Liverpool and large
quantities are going west from Buf-
falo ha
This anomalous fact is the result
of the excessive shipments from the
west last autumn, stimulated by the
high prices of that period. It haa
been aggravated. also. by the i'm:
lnense quantities Of wheat injured
since the close Of navigation at
several Of the large western depots,
and by the additional fact that the
excessively wet weather, during
last September. greatly curtailed
the breadth Of land usually devoted
to the culture Of winter wheat in
several Of the vast wheat regions OF
the west.
This back action" Of trade,
however, will be only to very
limited extent. and for very brief
period. 1t is the concurrent testi-
mony Of every one who has visited
the west within the past fortnight,
that the winter wheat never looked
more promising, and that the de-
ficieucy in the fall sowing has been
much more than made up this spring.
In some parts of Michigan. where
"spring wheat" is seldom seen, it
will this year constitute more than
one half the crop.
Besides, the snowy winter and
the cold backward spring, have been
just what was needed to put the
wheat fields in the best possible
condition.
