occasionally go into the park, while the
inmates are out taking their morning walk,
and spade up the ground, and they forget
that they are not out running at large.

recent newspaper article headed VIM. IL.

to him set mp" Richard Ill.," is fresh in
the minds of all; but an occurrence still
more funny is related, which happened in
the Tribune office some years since.
A composition had made so many errors
in setting the philosophers copy, that
it irritated him TO such a degree that he
wrote the typo letter, discharging him
from further duty. The composition being
utterly unable to decipher the contents Of
the note on receiving it, took it to the
foreman, who explained to him that it ex-
pressed that he was "not careful man
and Mr.. Greeley dispensed with his ser
vices" The man laid down his stick, put
on his coat and left. The next day he

The proprietor inquired if he could bring
recommendation from his last employer.

ducing the document.
The worthy job printer scanned it for
some minutes with perplexed air.
H-m-m-careful man--segvices--

The Turn Of Life.

Between the ages of forty and sixty, a
man who has properly regulated himself
may be considered in the prime Of life.
His matured strength of constitution rem
ders him almost impervious to the attack
Of disease, and experience has given
sonndness to his judgment. His mind is
resolute, firm and equal. all his Function,
are IN the highest order he assumes mas
terry over business; builds up compe-
tence on the foundation he has formed in
early manhood, and passes through pc
Rod Of life attended BY many gratifica-
tions. Having gone year or two past
sixty he arrives at stand still. But
athwart this IL viaduct, called the turn of
life, which, if crossed in safety, leads to
the valley of old age, around which the
river winds, and then beyond without a
boat or causeway to effect its passage.
The bridge is, however, constructed Of
fragile materials, and depends upon low
it is trodden whether it bend or break.
Gout and apoplexy are also in the vicinity
to waylay the traveller, and thrust him
from the pass but let him grid up his
loins' and provide himself with filter
staff, and he may trudge in safety with
perfect composure. To quit metaphor,
The Turn of Life" is turn either into
a prolonged walk, or into the grave, The
system and powers having reached their
utmost expansion, now begin either to
close like flowers at sunset or break down
at once. One injudicious stimulant, a
single fatal excitement, may force il beyond
its strength, whilst careful supply of the
props, and the withdrawal of all that
tends to force plant, win sustain it in
beauty and vigor until night has entirely
set in.-1He Science Of Life by a Rysi-

History, it is conclusively proved, repeats
itself. The revolution in England which
drove Charles the First from the throne and
sent him to the scaffold, and which placed
the government in the hands of Cromwell
and the crowned heads, is being repeated in
these United States, and with similar effect.
Puritanism in England was the true proto-
tvpe of radicalism in America. While the
civil war lasted in England between the adj
herents of the regal regime and the Crom'
wellians, the usual rules governing in state
of war were generally respected, but no soon
er the Cromwellians became in the ascend
ant than the vanquished were subjected tf
the most inhuman outrages and to tyranny
which was as cruel as it was relentless.
The history of this period is told by Lin
card in the twelfth volume of his work. Ih'
reader who has given much attention to GU
own times will recognize how perfect is tn
parallel between the present and the past.

Thai. Stevens in his late contiscatlon
speech, while speaking of Lincoln, advances
the idea that it was rather q good thing that
he was killed, after ALL He said:
"If there was danger, and l admit there
was some apprehension that Mr.. Lincoln
would be beguiled by his chief adviser into
q course which would have furnished his well
earned fame, that good Guardian, who had
guided him so well, kindly preserved him
from that calamity"
1t strikes us as being little strange that
Booth should have been hunted to his lair
and denied burial and grave, that Mrs.
Surratt should have been officially murdered,
and the Dry Tortugas stocked with prisoners
for assisting to place the lamented Lincoln
out of the power of his willy Secretary. 1t
isn't absolutely necessary to be consistent,
but it looks better.

His strange that a journal making any
nretentions to common honesty and common
intelligence should make such statement
as the above. There is not single word
of truth in it. The facts are these:
jeff Davis (colonel ola Mississippi regi-
ment in the Mexican wary made speech,
in the United States senate, in February
1850, in defence of Gen. Taylor's report of
| the battle of Buena Vista. Not one word
was said by Davis about "the soldiers of Hi
/ -nois."
A member of the house, from Virginia,
| (Mr. Seldom in speaking of the conduct OF
troops during the war, said that the post in
the line of battle, or on the field, which had
been deserted by a northerner Ian Indiana)
regiment, had been supplied by southern
regiment.
COL Bissell, then member of the house,
replied to the speech of Mr.. Seldom, and, IN
the course of his remarks, referred disrespect-
fully to the regiment which, at Buena Vista,
had been commanded by Col. Davis.
This was the cause of the difficulty Il
} did not grow out of any reference to "the
soldiers of Illinois," by Davis, forehe made
none; but it did grow out of Bisselps refer
: ence to the soldiers of Mississippi, and fo1
, this disrespectful language used by Bissell IL
regard to the soldiers of Mississippi, Davis
| challenged Bissen. The challenge was &C
cepted; the terms agreed on by the seconds

interfering and proposing that Bissell shoul'

= | floor of congress in relation to the soldier
Il from Mississippi-and he did withdraW ii
and thus prevented the duel.

The murder OF Mrs. Surratt is troubling
the radicals sorely, not because she was MUIR
dered. but because people think so. The
damning act is not what troubles them, but
that the belief gains ground that she was not
only innocent, but that whatever proof there
was against her was suborned by the chief
prosecutors, Stanton, Holt, Bingham and
their co-conspirators. That's what troubles
