KNOWN BY HIS WORKS.

In that beautiful part of Germany which
borders on the Rhine, there is q noble es-
tate, as you travel on the western bank Of
the river, which you see lifting its ancient
towers on the opposite side, above the grove
of trees about as old as itself.
About fifty years ago, there lived in that
castle noble gentleman, whom we will call
Baron N. He had only one son, who
was not only comfort to his father, but
a blessing to all who lived on his fathers
land. ........ ... -.
1t happened on a certain occasion that
this young man being away from home,
there came French gentleman to the cas-
tie, who began to talk Of his Heavenly
Father in terms that chilled the old mans
blood ION which the Baron reproved him,
saying, care you not afraid of offending
God, who reigns above, by speaking in such
manner ?" The gentleman said he knew
nothing about God, for he had never seen
him.
He this time did not notice what the gen.
tleman said; but the next morning he took
him about his castle grounds, and took oc-
casion first to show him very beautiful
picture that hung on the wall. The gen
tlemen admired the picture very much, and
said, "Whoever drew this picture knows
very well how to use the pencil"
''My son drew that picture" said the
Baron. .4 .-...... .,
"Then your son is clever man" replied
the gentleman. The Baron then went with
his visitor into the garden, ard showed him
many beautiful flowers and piantations of
forest trees. -
"Who has the ordering of this garden p
asked the gentleman. ~
"My son, replied the Baron che knows
every plant, I may say, from the cedar of
Lebanon to the hyssop on the wal"
"Indeed," said the gentleman, 81 shall
think very highly of him soon.."
The Baron then took him into the vii
lage, and showed him small, neat cottage,
where his son had established school, and
where he caused all young children who
had lost their parents, to be received and
instructed at his own expense. The chill
dren in the house looked SO innocent and
so happy, that the gentleman was very
much pleased, and when he returned to the
castle, he said to the Baron, "What hap
py man you are to have so good son."
"How do you know have so good a son 2"
"Because I have seen his works, and I
know he must be good and clever if he has
done all that you have shown me-"
"But you have not seen him."
"No; but know him very we'll, because
I judge of him by his works"
"True, replied the Baron, "and in this
way I Judge of the character of our Hea-
venly Father. know by his works that
He is being Of infinite wisdom, and power,
and goodness"

C1RcUMLocUTIoN.- English paper
tells of circumlocution in the British War
Office. 1t says there is tradition, said to
be historical, concerning clerk in the War
Office, who wanted a peg whereupon to hang
his hat. TO save the expense of carpen-
ter, he applied for hammer and nail, with
which to drive it in himself. Six months
passed before he received any answer to
his request, and he had long ago set up a
peg of his own, when special messenger
of the Tower arrived in Pail Mall, with a
hammer, sent to him at last, through the
medium of numberless acquisitions and au
thorizations. At the same time he was in.
formed that it was not the province of the
Tower officials to supply nails, but that
those would come to him from Woolwich,
and after few months further waiting,
they really did arrive-a pound of nails,
brought by great ambulance wagon, with
its half dozen horses and its dozen attcn'
dantS.

We noticed the rumor that Chief Justice
Chase had come to the conclusion that he
was the high court of Impeachment, and that
the Senate of the United States is merely q
Jury of his said Court. Another similar alb
surdity has been put on foot to the purort
that. by the Constitution Congress must de-
~signate by law what officers shall succeed in
case Of a vacancy in the Presidency, and tina.
the law passed in pursuance is not in compli.
ance with said Constitutional provision, for
itdesignates the President OF the Senate and
the Speaker of the House, who, according to
these learned Thebans, are not officers at all.
Now, it so happens that this law OF sue
eession was not enacted by the Republican
Congress of our day, and cannot, therefore,
be set oside as unconstitutional upon the mere
instinct Of Democracy. The whole subject
vas thoroughly discussed by Congress in
1872, and, after full discussion, the President
of the Senate and the Speaker of the House
were designated as the first two officers in or
der upon whom the Presidency should fall in
case of o vacancy.
A large number Of the members of thai
Congress had previously been members ofthe
Convention that framed the Constitution, and
as they were very able men generally, it is
p~resumable that they knew what the Consti-
,ntion which they assisted to frame really
meant, on a matter Of so great importance.
One George Washington, who, though no
Democrat, has been regarded as a very intel,
ligent patriot, was the President of the Con.
stitulional Convention, and was likewise
President of the United States, and officially
approved this law enacted by Congress,
which Democrats Of our day, who are all
constitutional lawyers By instinct, pronounce
unconstitutional Instinct teaches Demo.
Gratis that every law or measure, from the foun-
dstion Of the Government TO the present,
which inierferes with their party plots, or
tends to prevent the domination Of the ari-
~tocratic Rebels of the South over the : overn-
meut of the country and the low, naonle nj

have advocated or opposed such law or meas
ure. They oppo~ed coercion, of the Reb-
els IN ehe Al as unconstitutional, and they
hoia .. measures resulting from such "coer-
f-on" as alike unconstitutional; and hence, in
their Rebel sympa.hies and instincts, they
praie continually of the Constitution and
denoaaee all laws as unconstitutional which
Sand In their way. and are as ready to de-
nounce the First Congress and the Admins
;rstion Of Washington as unconstitutional
usarpers, as the last Congress under Lincoln's
