The New York Times is inclined to believe
it is quite true that the deposition of President
johnson and the installation of Mr.. Wade are
foregone conclusions.

RECoNsTRUCTIoN.-On ofthe most remarka-
BILE illustrations of the republican nature of our
institutions and form of government is pres
ented in the recent act of General Schoield, Of
Virginia, who, by a flourish or two of the pen,
displaces one governor of that ancient common
wealth and creates his successor. The whole
history of affairs in Virginia las well as in some
other States), when it comes to be considered
in the light of truth and reason, will prove suf-
ficiently humiliating to every enlightened Amer
lean, and all men who shall property appreciate
the crimes which have been perpetrated in the
name of Liberty cannot but wish that for time
history might prove mute.-Ne,0 York Journal

nifcant object in, natnre becomes to

birds sing in an ectasy of joy; 'the

of their creation is, accomplished, and:
their life gushes forth In harmonious
work. On, plant! oh, stream! here
in man and woman are powers, we

dollar at tho preachers hoad.
The preacher hastily turned over
tho leaf and did not reply.
"Why did you nevor tell mo of this
before? Why did you nevor preach
from it as I sat in your church Why
why?"
The preachor did not reply, but
turned over another leaf. But tho
dying man would not bo qnictcd.
"And it is easier for q camel to go
through tho eye Of needle than for a
rich man to enter into the kingdom of
, God, is it.? Then what's to bacone Of
me? Am l not rich? What tenant
did ever spare? what debtor did l
ever release? Aud you stood up
Sunday after Sunday and you preach
to US, and never said one word about
| tho camel"
The preacher in search Of con-
so',ng passag, turned rapidly over
the leaves, and in his confusion camo
to this passage, which he read:
"Go to now, yo rich men, weep and
howl for your miscrics that shall cone
upon you. Your gold and silver is
kankorcd, and the rust Of them shall
bo witness against, and Shall cat
your flesh as it were 'firo; you have
hcaped treasure together for the last
days. Before, tho hire Of the labor
crs who have rcaped down your fields
which is Of you kept back by fraud
crieth, and the cries of them which
have reapcd arc entered into tho
cars of tho Lord of Subaotb"
"And yet you mover preached that
to me !" shrieleed the dying man.
The preacher who had blundered
through tho passage from james
which We have quoted, knew moi
what to say. He was, perchancc
terrified by tho very dying look o
his dying parishionor. Then tho
wife drew near and strove to comfor
him, and the son who had been read
F ing the will attempted u word or two
of consolation.
And with the dollar in his hand h
, sand into death, talking of stock, 0
rent, of copper mines ssand' camels y
tenant aud Of tebtor, until tho breatl
left his lips. Thus ho died.
Whom he was cold, tho preache
, rose and asked tho lawyer whc,ho
o tho deceased had left any thing to suc|
land such q. charitable society whic
l. had Gt Gt~,aepgrafted upon tho preach
ers Church.
And his wife closed his eyes an
, tried to wrench the dollar from h
hand, but in vain. He clutched it I
4 as though it were the only saviour
:. light him through the darkness
@ eternity.
% And the son sat down with dl
q. eyes, and thought OF the hundreds
in thousands which wero now his ow
