A Splendid Testimonial.

1t will be remembered that at the session
of the Legislature of 1866, mainly at the
suggestion OF Hon. G. @. Sholes, since dead,
the Governor was directed to have prepared
a suitable gold medal, as a testimonial of
the appreciation in which Wisconsin held
the services of Cyrus W. Field, in securing
the connection Of the two Continents of Eu-
rope and America.
The work was entrusted to the celebrated
New York firm of Tiffany & Co, and they
have most worthily executed their commits
sion. The medal prepared by them has
just been recei we'd at the executive office,
and is very chaste and handsome one 1t
is of solid gold, two end halt inches in dI-
ameter, with a raised edge and smooth sur
face. On the diverse side is fine 6Gs retaeJ
of MIR. Field, an excellent likeness WITH t1e
inscriptions
''To Cyrus w. Field, the original project
or of the Atlantic Telegraph"
On the reverse are the State arms, capi,
talIv executed with the motto, Forward,
and date 1867, with the Inscriptions
eFrom the State Of Wisconsin" "Per-

The medal is enclosed in neat rosewood
case.

SYMMETRY OF CHRISTIAN CHARACTER.--The
divine rule for that balance OF the Christian
graces which forms symmetrical, beautiful
character, is given us ia I'd Peter, chap. LIST,
verses 5to7 lass
To faith as the corner stone, is added man
ly energy which leads to earnest christian ac-
ton in all approved modes of doing good.
That this activity may be wisely directed in
channels which God will approve, knowledge
OF his word and will and the best modes OF
serving him Is essential. But lest the acquis-
Iition of knowledge, and simply for It's own
sake, become an absorbing passion, and engross
all his being in it's attainment, temperate
restraint must be exercised which Will keep
all his powers and passions under contr oil,
and lift him above the excuses and ineonsls-
tencies (which charactirlze many. having
made this attainment, he is IN danger OF con-
demning too severely the follles and failings
of Others, and must add patient forbearance
for tbe weakness Yet that patience must not
degenerate into disregard of sin or low
innate ofits enormity, hence he must add god
linness. by keeping his own heart in constant
communion wi1h the source OF all holiness,
and thus become assimilated to the Divine i'm
age. Nor must abstraction from the world
and solitary communing with God lead him
to forget his brethren and the duty he owes to
those around him, fo brotherly kindness Is
a grace he may not fail to add to all the pre-
ceding. And to prevent this grace from be-
coming a restricted and sectarian affection
for those in his own circle, let him crown the
whole with charity, that love to all men and
supreme love to God, which is the bond Of
perfectness and the capstone the Christian
edifce. $500 GL
A careful study of these verses will show
| that the eight graces named, when proportion"
ately cultivated, each serving as compile
ment to the other, will constitute complete
| ly symmetrical Chris an character. HOW I'M
portant to the highest usefulness IN our Jay
such character Is we will not attempt 10 ex-
