Well, is not that rjght 2 Should the
Government be entrusted to the rebels,
or to the Copperheads who aided them and
sympatbized with them? Is the Govern

/ Our proneness to run after demagogues and
spouters may find wholesome corrective
in the study Of such character as his. The
qualities by which great things are accom-
plished are here seen to have no necessary
connection with showy aud superficial ae-
complishments When the mass of ;i,er
lock upon such character, they may learu
a truer respect for themselves ard each

tiles aud great abilities are consistent with
the SIM LEFTY Of taste, contempt for parade,
and plainness OF manners with which direct
and earnest men have a strong natural sym
pathy. Ulysses Grant, the tanner, Ulysses
Grant, the unsuccessful applicant for the
post Of City Surveyor Of ST. Louis, Ulysses
Grant, the driver into that city Of his two
horse team with load Of wood to sell, had
within him every manly quality which viii
cause the name of Lieutenant-G General
Grant to live forever in history. His career
is a lesson in practical democracy; it is a
quiet satire on the dandyism; the puppyism,
and the shallow affectation Of our fashiona-
bic exquisites as well as upon the swagger
ofour plausible, glib-tongnel demagogues.
Not by any means that great qualities are
inconsistent with cultigated manners and a

accomplishments are no measure OF worth

SABBATH REST a NECESSITY.

Nature re-afirms the Divine Law that one
day in seven should be set apart for rest and
worship. Both the brute and human world
need it for their well-being Dr. Fare,
distinguished physician, says
Although the night equalizes the ciTeu-
lation veil, yet it does not sufficiently re-
store its balance for the attainment ofa long
life. Hence one day in seven, by the boun-
ty of Providence, is thrown in as day Of
compensation, to perfect By its repose the
animal system You may easily determine
this question by trying 1t on beasts of bur
den. Take the fine animal the horse, and
work him to the fBll extent of his power
every day Of the week, or give him rest one
day in seven, and you VIII soon perceive, by
the superior vigor with which he performs
his functions, on the other six days that
this rest is necessary TO his well-being.
Man, possessing a superior nature, is borne
along by the very vigor Of his mind, so that
the injury of continued diurnal exertion and
excitement in his animal system IS not SO
Immediately apparent as it isin the brute:
but in the long run it breaks down more
suddenly; it abridges the length Of his life
and that yigor Of his old age which las to
/ mere animal power ought to be the object
of his preservation. This is
said simply as physician, and without ref
erence at all TO the theological question.

There is nothing sheds so fine light

due to the most admirable Of the virtues.

the power and charm Of its influence. The
man whose opinions make the deepest mark
ppm his fellowlnen. whose influence is the
most lasting aud efficient. whose friendship
is instinclivcly sought where all others have
proved faithlezs, is not the man Of brilliant
parts OF Hattering tongue, splendid genius,

are more snowy, and other traits which have

the soul, and leave the stain of corrup y

himself to use one vulgar or prafane

utterance Of that word he extends that
spot, and inhames it, till by indulgence,
