During the first year of the war, the
late j. j. Crittenden, in taking a general
survey Of the condition of the country
South and North, stated in the q. s. Sem
ate that 1--WE are in the midst of rebellion
and revolution. Rebellion in the south
and revolution in the north"
The former has been effectually put
down and subdued by our patriotic SOL
diers and victorious armies. The latter
still raises its hydra head, and while pu-
trid breath is poisoning the air of civil
liberty, its anaconda body is crushing the
most sacred constitutional guarantees and
preparing it for the great swallowing pro-
cess that is to terminate the existence Of
constitutional republicanism in America.
Judging from the writhing agonies Of
his snakeship at the blows recently dealt
upon his head by the U. S. Supreme Court,
we have hopes that few more such blows
will terminate his existence or compel him
to release his grasp upon the constitution,
and abandon the contemplated swallowing

efCectually put down as has been the
rebellion in the south, and that peace, or

preme sway throughout the whole length
and breadth of our land,-Fayette Co.

matters, is the same in all the great essen
tial concerns of the nation. That the ex.
tent of our country, the delivery of our
climate and soil, and the productions of the
States consequent Of both are such as to
make one part not only convenient, but
perhaps indespensibly necessary to the
other part, and may render the whole lat

pendent in the world. That the establish
ed government being the work of our own
hands, with the seeds of amendment en-.
grated in the Constitution, may be wis
dom, good dispositions and mutual utter
ances, aided by experience, bring it as
near to perfection as any human institu.
tion ever approximated and therefore the
only strife among US ought to be who
should be foremost in facilitating and final.
ly accomplishing such great and desirable
objects by giving every possible support
and cement to the Union. That however
necessary it may be to keep watchful eye
over public servants and public measures,
yet there ought to be limits to it, for sus-
picious unfounded, and jealousies too lively,
are irritating to honest feeling, and often
times are productive of more evil than
good.
To enumerate the various subjects which
might be introduced into such an address
would require thought, and to mention
them to you would be unnecessary, as your
own )adement will comprehend all that

cally, and OF the exceptlvn.hle parts OF the
Constitution, may be doubted. AMI shall

the several matters which ought to be con-

House of Representatives will also dis

Though l do not wish to hurry you (the
case is not pressing) of the execution of
either of the publications before mention

generally on both and to receive them in

phia until the session commences. in the
form they are finally to take. beg leave
to draw your attention, also, to such things
as you shall conceive fit subjects for COM
munication on that oscasion, and, noting
them as they occur, that you would be so
good as to furnish me with them in time
to be prepared, and engrafted with others
for the opinion of the session.

Troubles.
Persons who have been so fortunate a.
to escape the ordinary and extraordinary
trials and vexations which andoy humani'
ty usually treat with unbecoming levity
the troubles of others. We clip from an
exchange the following exempli6cation:
"You must really exercise patience" T"
said on old rat to q brother that had been
caught in a trap. "No doubt it is pain
full but squeaking will do you no good
whatever, and it is very distressing for US
to hear.'
"You are mighty compassionate y said
the prisoner, trying to ease his leg.
"Oh, assure you l feel, beyond all
description, for you," said the old rat ~
can enter into your sufferings most fully
but, you see, notwithstanding that grieve
so acutely, l can command myself and be.
have with moderation"
"very 6ne," replied the captive; 81
could do the same if were sitting at my
ease looking at you in this trap; but
doubt exceedingly if your philosophy
would hold out if you were here instead
of me-"
The above is an excellent lesson to that
class of persons who regard the Affections
of others lightly but to show how much
can be said in one line by master hand
we quote from that immortal and unequal.

How . Man Freezes 60 Death.
M. Pouchet lately read an interesting Do.
per on this subject before the French Acad-
emy of Science. The authors infsrencea
are - follows:
l. That the 6rst phenomenon pro.
duced by cold is a contraction Of the cap.
Hilary vessels to such IN extent that q
globule of blood cannot enter those vss-
seis, therefore, remain completely empty.
z. The second phenomenon is IN alter
alton OF the blood globules, which
amounts to their complete disorganixation.
s.. Every animal completely frozen is
absolutely dead, and no power can re-sui-
mate it.
4. When only part is frozen, that part
is destroyed by gangrene.
5. If the part frozen il not extensive.
and only few disorganised blood globules
pass into circulation, that animal may re-
cover.
8. But If, on the contrary, the frozen
part is Of considerable extent, then the
mass Of altered globules brought into the
circulation when the part is thawed rapidly
kills the animal.
Z. For this reason a half frozen animal
may live long time if maintained in that
condition. since the altered globules do not
get into the circulation but it expires
rapidly as soon as the frozen part is thawed.
.. In all cases of congestion, death il
due to the alienation of the blood globules
and not to any effect on the nervous sys-
tenn.
9. II results from these facts, that the
less rapidly the frozen part is thawed, the
more slowly altered globules find their
way into the circulation and the greater
the chances of the recovery Of the animal.

MALIGNANT CHRIsrIANs.-Some persons
pride themselves on being blunt, or as they
call it, honest" but very blunt people
do little good to others and get but little
good to themselves. The scriptures rec.
ommend gentleness and kindness. There
is nothing in this world of ours half SO
mean as indicative and malignant dis
position. Yet many christians crafty this
spirit, and deceive themselves with the
idea that they are rebuking sin. Chris.
tians should take heed of getting fond of
the work of rebuking.' Such "spiritu-
al constables," do great deal of mischief
without intending it. They are in the
church what very witty and sarcastic
person is in society, or what teli-tale is in
school and approximate very closely to
that class which the apostle terms "busy-
bodies in other mems matters" Such
Christians come in time to be regarded as
nuisances in society, constantly to be avoid
ed, and the little good they may do 10 thrown
away. Our manners must be tender and
winning. The nail of reproof, says an old
writer, must be we'll oiled in kindness be-
fore it is driven home.

The Government Of the United States is
paying Sls.OOO.O0O (eighteen millions Of
dollars) to the national banks for their is-
suing $500. 100000 of currency which it
would issue for nothing.
The Government is engaged in with
drawing from circulation its issues of
greenbacks and permitting the increase Of
the banks, and consequently increasing tho
bonus it pays them.
Its bonded debt is protected from State
and local taxation, and all other property
in the country is taxed to pay six or seven
per cent. interest annually upon those
bonds.
Instead of paying the bonded debt, and
thus stopping the accumulation of interest
it cancels greenbacks which are drawing
no interest.
The estate Of any individual who man.
aged his business upon such principles
would be taken from him and placed in
charge Of guardian and he sent to lu-
natic asylum. But to use the government
to cheat and rob the people is tho great
moral idea of the Republican party, and
this financial policy is only one of the evil
dences of the fact Gazette q Argus.

Skatorial.
In an exchange we End the following
advice to 'green-horns,' who wish to parti.
cipate in the healthy exercise of skating:
! l. Never try to skate in two directions
at once. This feat has often been attemp.
ted by beginners, but never successfully.
! 1t always ends in sorrow.
2. Eat few apples for refreshment
sake while skating, and be sure to throw
the cores on the ice, for fast skaters to
break their necks over. Fast skaters are
your natural enemies, and should not he
allowed to enjoy themselves peaceably.
3. Sit down occasionally, no matter
where-right in the way of the rest of the
party, if you want to. There il no law to
prevent a new beginner from sitting down
whenever he has an inclination to do so.
4. When you meet a particularly hand.
some lady, try to skate on both sides Of
her at once. This is very pretty, and sure
to create q sensation. If the lady's big
brother is in sight, it is well to omit this
5. Skate over all the small boys at
once. Knock 'em down. It makes great
fun and they like it.
6. If you skate into hole in the ice,
take it coolly. Think how you would feel
if the water was boiling hot.
!. Fyour skates are too slippery, buy
new pair. Keep huying new pairs until
You find pair that are not slipperv.-
This will be fun for the dealers.
8. In sitting down, do it gradually
Do not be too sudden; you may break
the ice.
9. When you fall headlong, examine
the straps of your skates very carefully
before you get up. This will make every
body think you fell because your skates
were loose. Beginners always do, you
know.
10. Wear heavy overcoat or cloak
till you get thoroughly warmed up and
then throw it off and let the wind cool YOU
This will insure you a fine cold that will
last you as long as you live.
IL. After you get so you can skate tol-
erably well, skate yourself sick Immediate
ly. Don't be reasonable about 1t; shate
three or four hours-skate frantically-skate
till you can't stand up. Do this every day,
and it will be sure to make you sick at
last and then you may die, and that will
be an excellent thing; it will be such o
good example to the rest of the young
people.

The New York Times, speaking Of the
southern people and the manner in which
they are held subject to laws, in the crea-
ton of which, they have no voice, says:
The southern people find themselves in
. painful position, one which promises to
become still more embarrassing. and they
see no way out of.it. They are excluded
from all voice in the government, and are
powsglass even to represent thar own in
fsrests, rights and wishes in the councils
Of the nation. A congress, in which they
have no members, makes laws touching
their material, social and political interests
and does not even permit them to state
what these interests require. They have
not even the privilege accorded to terrific
ries, of speaking on their own behalf in
the presence of those who make laws which
they are required to obey.

A RETROsPECT.
While With ceassless course, the sun
Hasted through the former year,
Many souls their race have run.
Never more to meet Us here.
Fixed In an eternal state,
They have done with all below;
We, . little longer wait,
But how little none can know.

Speedily the mark to find
As the lightning from the skies
Darts and leaves no trace behind
Swiftly thus our neeting days
Bear ~ down Life's rapid stream;
Upward then our spirits raise
All below 10 but dream.
Thanks for mercies past resolved,
Pardon of our sins renew:
Teach us henceforth how to live,
With Eternity in view.
Bless the Word to young and old, d.
Fill US with Saviour's love,
And when life's tale IL told,
May we reign with Thee aboycl
