We are always looking into the future, but
We see only the past.
The courage with which we have met past
dangers is often our best security in the
present.
Real sorrow is almost as difficult to discover
as real poverty. An instructive delicacy hides
the rays OF the Que and the wounds of the
other.

sake Of giving has but glanced at the joys Of
charity We owe our supcrfuity, and to be
happy in tho performance of our duty we
must exceed it.
Let us ever exceed our appointed duties,
and keep within our lawful pleasures
We expect everything and we are prepared
for nothing.
There are not good things enough in life to

. CONVICTION NECEssARY.-The Con
stitutiOnal Amendment proposed by
the Ohio Legislature has a clause dis
frauchizing rebels, draft skedaddlers,
and deserters. This clause reads rath-
er formidably, but it will really amount
to nothing. Of course no canvassiug
board would reject mans vote on
mere heaTsay evidence, or on second
hand proof, hence the record of con
demualion, by properly organized
milifs ~ or civil court would be nee
essary, in each case, and when it is ia
ken into consideration that probably
not one hundred convictions of the
kind occurred during the war, the
clause becomes merely sounding bass.
