THE TROUBLE OF LIFE.--Sometime
compare the troubles which we have
to undergo in the course of the year to
a great bundle OF fagots, far too large
for us to lift; but God does not require
US to carry the whole at once. Ie mer
cifully unties the bundle, and gives US
first one stick, which we are To carry
to-day; and then another. which we
are to carry tomorrow and so on.
This we might easily manage, IL we
would only take the burden appointed
for us each day; but we choose to i'm
crease our troubles by carrying yester-
days stick over again to-day, and adj
ding to-morrow's burden to our load
before we are required TO bear II. Rev.

Secretary stanton's suspension.


The President, on the 18th instant, sent In
a message to the Senate, giving his reasons for
the suspension Of Mr.. Stanton. He refers to
the defiant tone Of Mr.. S, when requested to
resign, and to the fact Of his emphatic cOndem-
nation Of the tenuFe-of-ofice bill.
Some reference is made to the circumstan-
ces under which tie President retained his pre-
decessors Cabinet including Mr. stanton and
he remarks IS 70 the proposed mode # recon
structing the Southern States, all the members
were in perfect accord with himself.
The President. after setting forth at length
his vieW Of the case. assigns a special GROUND
f.r thr suspension Of Mr.. stanton. 1t VIII ne
ree.llertei that during the summer Of 1866
General R,iri tclerriphed from New Orleans
., the Secretary # War that convention was
.b,ut IN assemble. and that the Governor and
-. city authorities. thinking IL was an unlaw-
f,l assembly. would break itup. The General
asked the Secretary for instructions-to tele-
graph him at once Mr. Stanton did not,
however, give General bdlrd the desired or
ders, nor did he communicate the fact Of the
reception Of the despatch to the President, who
knew nothing Of It's existence until ten days
after it came into Mr. Stauton's hands, and not
until after the riot had occurred. The PreSi-
dent, therefore, takes the ground that Mr.. Stan
ton vas responsible for delinquency, and that
il he lthe Presiieut) had known that General
Baird bad Sough, advice, tie riot might have
been prevented.
The President holds that, 50 far as the pub
lie interests are concerned. there Is no cause On
regret the removal Of Mr.. Stanton, for the
present Secretary al interim has, by his mea-
sures Of economy, saved millions of dollars to
