Civility is a fortune itself, for court
eOus man always succeeds we'll in life,
and that when persons of ability some
times fail. The famous Duke of Marl-
borough is q case i'll point. 1t was said
of him by one contemporary that his
Agreeable manners often converted an
enemy into friend; and by another,
that it was more pleasing to be denied
a favor by his grace, than to receive one
from any other man. The worlds his
tory is full of examples of success OBJ
tanned by civility. The experience OF
every man furnishes frequent instances
where conciliatory manners have made
the fortunes of physicians, lawyers, di-
vines, politicians, merchants, and in
deed individuals in all pursuits. To
men, civility is what beauty is to wom-
emit is general passport to favor-a
letter of introduction written in lam
guage that every one understands.

the Giver of life being all perfect love,
the best offering we can make to Him

\ correspondent of the Scientific
American, writing from Adriance, In
diana, over the signature of j. b. c., in
reply 20 an inquiry why there were no
improvements in printing presses by
Mr.. Gabe of bloomington, Indiana,
says:
In reply, l wish to say, that the pro-
prietor of the Gazette office, at this
place, and another gentleman, have per-
fected very valuable Improvement on
hand printing presses, and it will soon
be patented and offered 10 the public.
The proprietor of the Gazette has attach
ed the improvement to his double me-
dunn Washington Press, given it a
thorough trial, and it proves success.
1t greatly lessons the labor of press
work, and doubles the speed of the
same. The cost of the Improvement is
trifling, and it is capable of being at
tachcd TO all. hand presses in few
minutes. The patent is now being ap-
piled for, through Your agency, l be-
lievc."

Depend upon il, gentlemen, no party
whose only oementing element is a
sympathy Of hatred, can ever be per
manent in power, or even in existence.
With large multitudes of men, this
spirit Of hate was the controlling mo-
tive throughout the late civil war, and
has continued to govern them at every
step in their efforts at reconstruction.
But with a smaller, yet far more dan
gerous class of politicians, the sole aim
for the last three years has been
the perpetuation of Republican rule,
through the negroes of the South. To
