Holy AFFEcTIoNs-lt is evident
that true religion, or holiness, liel
very much in the affections, becaus,
the Scriptures place sin very much il
hardness Of heart: it is equally evi
dent that without holy affections
there is no religion No light in tn,
understanding is good which doc
not produce holy affection in tn,
heart no habit Of the mind is goot
which has no such exercise; and n,
external fruit is good which does no
proceed from this principle.
Whata beautiful example for all o
us is the resolution Of the old lady
who from grabbed and anxious bod,
became quite the opposite. Wher
asked what had produced the change
she replied, "To tell you the truth,
have been all my life striving for
oontented mind, and have finally con
cluded TO sit down contented without
it."
Remember that every person, how
ever low, has rights and feelings. Il
all contentious let peace be rathe
your object than triumph; value tri
umph only as the means Of peace.
Humility is virtue all proach
none practice, and yet everybody
content TO hear. The master think
it good doctrine for his servant, tn
laity for tho clergy, and the clerg
for the laity.

WHAT NEWSPAPERS DO FOR NOTHING
The following article soexactly tells the truth
for newspaper publishers, that we print il
with request that all our friends read it
with care: - -
NV observation enables me to state as a
fact, that publishers of newspapers are more
poorly rewarded than any other class of men
in the United States, who invest an equal
amount of labor, capital and thought.
They are expected to do more service for
less pay, to stand more spongihg and dead
heading to puff and defend more people
without fee or hope of reward, than any
other class.
q They credit wider and longer, get ofteper
cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss, are of.
tener the victims of misplaced confidence
than any other calling in the community
People pay o printers bill with more qreluc
lance than any other. 1t goes harder with
them toexpend dollar for a valuable newspa

everybody asails himself of the EDITORS, per
and the printers ink.

- On the first Monday in June next in dye
and clerk of the supreme court for the second
grand division of this state are to be elected.
Judge Walker and William A. Turney are
the present incumbents. Judge Walker was
first appointed to this position by Governor
Bissell, upon the resignation of Judge Skin
ner. and afterwards in June. 1858, elected
by the people for the full term of nine years.
Judge Turney was elected in June, 1859,
and afterwards IN 1861, without opposition.
Both are now candidates for reelection
The division embraces "a counties, in the

Occasionally we notice in a radical news
paper mean fling at democratic soldiers,
charging them with voting against the cause
in which they enlisted. Considering that
they offered their lives in support OF that
cause, and that thousands of them died IN
defending it, there is blackness about this
impudent statement suggestive not OF flrst
class, but of a very mean and thoroughly
abandoned wretch-one who would like to
brand Hancock as rebel and write traitor
over the grave of Sedgwick, Mulhgan, the
McCocks, and every democrat who died to
defend the Union under the constitution
The cause for which they enlisted has been
betrayed, but not by them. The brazen
vilifiers of them must answer for the treach

The, republican newspapers are already
growing over the Columbia Is. CO. meeting
and over the implied willingness OF the south
to accept the Sherman military reconstruc-
ton BILL The radicals do not want negroes
and whites to hold amieable meetings, nor
do they want the southern people to accept
this or any other bll What is wanted IS TO
keep the south out of the Union, so that
radicalism will not lose its majorities in the
north 49, = as:sc -
The only reconstruction basis upon which
the radicals win willingly admit the south,
will be one in which all classes shall forever

agree to vote the radical ticket.

The dentists reminded him of it, when

THE lockout AT AN END IN PITTS
BURG.-The Pittsburg Post of yesterday
morning says the establishment OF
Messrs. Shoenberger & Co., commences
operations this morning, the puddlers
receiving the old prices. This an
nouncement will, in all probability, be
followed by the news of several other
of our large firms going into operation,
as we understand arrangements have
been made to that effect. The starting
is, at the present time, almost impera-
tive. as it is stated that the Wheeling
mills have, of late, SO enlarged their ca
pacity, as to be able to supply nearly
all the demand for nails, thus taking
vast quantities of custom out of orr
city. 1t is possible that after running
for brief period, the mills will again
cease, as the feelings between the mas
tiers and the employees is that of very
general distrust on both hands. We
hope in short time to see these diff
culties between labor aud capital per-
manently adjusted. The Dispatch says
the majority of the mills, in and around
the city, are to commence work during
this week, at the old prices.
