TALENT AND TAcr.-Talent is
something, but tact is everything.
Talent is serious, sober, 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
surmounter Of all difficulties-the re-
mover Of all obstacles. 1t is useful in
all places aud at all 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 is power-tact is skill
talent is weight-tact is momentum
talent knows what to do-tact knows
how to do it; talent makes q man res
pectable-tad will make him respect.
ed; talent is wealth-tact is ready
mosey. For al the practical pur-
poses Of life, tact carries it agains'
talent-ten to one. 4

The French papers announce the
death of two noted personages-the
oldest prisoner and the Oldest execu-
toner in France. The former indivi-
dual was eighty-four years of age,
forty-fve of which he had. passed in
prison walls. He opened his career
in 1915, by personating Marshal
Breme, of whom he was the valet, and
reviewing the French troops at Val
enciennes. Railroads and telegraphs
not then being in existence, the impos-
ture was not discovered until the i'm
poster had received the homage of the
whole city. Six years ago, when
seventy-eight years of age, this har-
dened sinner managed to get possession
of large sum of money and horse
and carriage belonging to a CONNER
cial traveller, but was caught and COM
mitted to prison, saying as he entered,
that he had finally retird from busi-
ness. His conduct during his various
sequestrations from more extensive
and social existence was most exem-
plary, and he was always on the best
of terms with the jailors and their as
sistants. The deceased executioner,
in his latter nays, e,,lirened the fireside
ofhis grandchildren by boastful ac-
counts Of the part he took in the scenes
of the Revolution, and especially de-
lighted to dwell upon the latter days
of Robespierre, as during that time he
was assistant executioner at Paris, and
claims to have aided the chief heads
man in guillotining Robespiere HIM
self.

Use Plain WOfds.

Little boys sometimes put ON their
fathers boots or their big brothers
clothes, and act as though that had
made them larger and more imPor-
tant but nobody is deceived, and they
are only laughed at. Young writers
and speakers should remember this
when clothing their thoughts with
language. Never try to find large or
high sounding words. They are not
natural, they will be awkwardly used,
will often show miss-fts, and expose
the author to ridicule. An ambitious
young student, in writing his compo-
sition, thus attempted to describe a
very dark night; ''tenebrious gloom
obseured the darkening shade" The
teacher, on reading it, remarked, athis
being translated into plain English,
means dark darkness darkened the
darkening dark : that is, I suppose, it
was very dark" A young lady thus
expressed the idea ola fine sunrise
"the royal king of day, clad in glorious
golden panoply of dazzling effalgence,
flooded the earth with gorgeous bright
ness" ut is easier to swallow a die
tionary than to digest it," remarked
the teacher, on reading that outburst'
In all writing, strive to express the
thought most clearly. Nobody cares
to unwrap a dozen or more coverings
to get at a small parcel of candy. Il
you havea pleasant idea, out with il
in as few and plain words as possible
and not oblige the reoder to strip offs
pile of waste word wrappers. Use tht
language in which you think and con
verse that will be entirely natural
In time you may learn to make it ele'
CANT. Strive for excellent thoughts
and to express them clearly; they vii
be valuable even in the homeless
words, Just as beautiful face is attrac
tive in the plainest garb.

Hardening their Hearts,

It is too true that, strange as it may seem,
the Radicals of the North are hardening their
hearts against the unfortunate and helpless peo-
ple of the South. The following is the conclu-
sion of a letter written in Bowling Green, Mis-
souri,, on the 26th ult., and published in the
ENQUIRER and Ecaminer of the 1st inst:
ssWe have tried to fully realize the position
of affairs and to understand the cause OF the
fierce hatred manifested by those assuming to
rule We have wondered often if they would
never withdraw their aggressive hands, but we
find that their despotism grows more absolute
and their requirements more eXactlng with eV-
cry assembling of Congress. We are now sat
isfed that no amount of suffering will ever pu-
rify the Southern people in the estimation OF
Northern rulers IF the contrary of this were
true. the Inundated, suffering and distressing
condition of the ''sunny South would not have
appealed in vain In beholding the blasted
fields of Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi and
Alabama; the blackened walls and dismal ru-
ins of South Carolina, and the terri ible destruc-
ton of life, happiness and property in Virginia,
had these Radicals possessed either greatness
of mind or goodness of heart, they would have
realized that enough had already been endured
and would have extended the willing hand O
brotherly love and fellowship, bidding the Soutf
arise and resume the position that they once
held in the Union. But their object is only tt
perpetuate their power. Conscious that the!
will not much longer have the support of tn
North, they seek to find. a substitute in the AT
rican vote. They may succeed for the present
perhaps, but as sure as the providences of Go'
holds the control of human affairs, just so sur
| will they be overthrown and buried for ever il
| their own infamv We await anxiously the re
sultof your action. May God direct you in tn
matter"

POETRY.
Somebody'll Come Tonight.

Many a one man or woman, is the better for a
noble loving-that kind which keeps through life
and never gets old. though oft time bereavement
and disappointment overtake it. Here is love,
we'll kept:
I must bind my hair with the mystic bough,
And gem it with buds of white,
And drive this blush from my burning brow,
For somebody'll come tonight;
And while his eye shall discern grace
In the braid and the folded flower,
He must not find in my tell-tale face
The spell of his wondrous power.
I must don the robe which he fondly calls
A cloud Of enchanting light,
And sit where the mellowing moonlight falls,
For somebody'll come tonight;
And while the robes and the place shall seem
But the veriest freak of chance,
'Tis sweet to know that his eye will beam
With tenderer, happier glance.
Twas thus 1 sang when the years were few
That lay on my girlish head,
And all the flowers that in fancy grew
Were tied with golden thread;
And somebody came, and the whispers there
cannot repeat them quite;
But know my soul went up in prayer,
And somebody's here tonight.
blush no more at the whispered VOW,
Nor sigh in the soft moonlight;
My robe has tint of amber now,
AS sit bysmy anthracite;
And the locks that We'd with the glossy wren
Have passed to the silver gray;
But the love that decked them with flowers
Is holier love to-day. [then

A German trust song.

Just as God leads me would 90:
l would not ask to choose my way,
Content with what he will bestow,
Assured he will not lead me stray,
So as he leads my path make,
And step by step I gladly take,
A child in him confding.
Just as God leads am content,
rest me calmly in his hands;
That which he has decreed and sent
That which his will for me commands,
/ would that he should all fulfill.
That should do his gracious will,
In living or in dying.
just as God leads / all resign;
trust me to my Fathers will;
When reasons rays deceptive shine,
His counsel would yet fulfill;
That which his love ordained as right,
Before he brought me to the light,
My all to him resigning
Just as God leads me abide
In faith, in hope, in suffering true;
His strength is ever by my side
Can aught my hold on him undo?
l hold me firm in patience knowing
That God my life is still bestowing-
The best in kindness sending
just as God leads onward go,
Oft amid thorns and briars keen;
God does not yet his guidance show
But in the end it shall be seen
How by loving Fathers will
Faithful and true he leads me still.
