silk-velvct preaching. As devout and
consistent man of God, those who knew
him most closely will speak most hearth
ly. The latter years of his life saw him
officially identified with the most signifi-
cant and pregnant movements inaugur-
ated in his Church, both at home and in
England; where, during the Pan-Angli-
can Council, his official position as pri-
mate of the American braAch of his
Church, together with his rare personal
gifts and marvellous resources, determined
his position as among the foremost men
of his Order.
In his quaint and becoming Episcopal
habit, with splendid presence, devout
bearing, unthinned locks, and venerable
beard, white with ripe years-the father
of the clerical full-beard movement
it is not strange that at General Con-
vention years ago and ever since, he
should have been called St. Peter."-

and other Derry settlements, who could
not be so many as to miss hearty well
come. Our house was far smaller, and
less frequented; but its latch string was
always out; and free liver, with twelve
brothers and sisters, to say nothing of
their partners by marriage and their
children, is not apt to be persistently
Stunned. In fact, we lived better than
we could afford to, Gas poor folks are apt
to do,) and this was one cause of our
downfall. My father, as proud as he
was poor, spared nothing when friends
and relatives, especially those of higher
social standing, favored him with their
company, and was rarely found unable
to fulfill their most sanguine expecta-
tions. When too many dropped in upon
us at once, or we were found deficient in
the luxuries they might fairly expect, he
had faculty of telling them this anec-
dote: ata la4- 1g.G
"When l was boy of fifteen" said
he, " l worked two summers in the great
brick yards of Medford, Mass. My en-
ployer, Mr.. Marshall, was at first a new
man in the community, whose wife deemed
it incumbent on her to give her neighbors
tea-party, as prelude to better ac-
quaintance. In those ante-canal days,
wheaton -four was luxury, though
nearly all had it for company occasions !;
ordinarily, our bread was made of rye
and Indian exclusively. Mrs. Marshall
on the great occasion, had the inevitable
short-cake for tea--of rye flour, as all
could perceive; still, it was not impera-
tive on common folks to proffer cake of
wheaton flour; and all would have passed
off without remark, and been soon for
gotten, but for maladroit explanation
by the hostess, i beg you not to infer
that we have no wheat -four, from the
fact that / give you rye short-cake. We

proverb that anything deficient on a kin

father in conclusion, if you notice any
thing deficient in our fare, consider tha,
it is saved for Mr.. Marshall, in hay-time.

Stanton was in accordance with the act,
the constitutionality Of the law would
not come into question. II, as the Pres
ident claims, he can only test the consti-
tutionality of the law by disobeying it,
and if, as he also claims, he has not dis
obeyed it, then with what sense can he
claim to be engaged in testing its consti-
tutionality Finally, in pleading
statute passed in 1889 as authority for
making the order, the President in effect
affirms that the Tenure-of-O Office act does
not bear upon the question of MIR. Stan
tons removal, either to permit or to for
bid it. For if the Tenure-of-Ofice act
of 1867 permits it, the act Of 1889 is
wholly irrelevant; and if the act of 1867
forbids it, then the act of 1889 is re-
repealed. Thus Mr.. Johnson's several
defenses, first, that in removing Stanton
he has obeyed the Tenure-of0ffice bill !;
and, secondly, that in removing Stanton
he has disobeyed it, in order to test its
constitutionality; and, thirdly, that the
Tenure-ofOffice bill in no way bears
upon his right to make the order, each
overthrows the others.

The Vermont Brigade.

The following Is taken from I book
entitled, "Three yeanin the Sixth Corps,"
by Surgeon Stevens Of the 77th N. Y.
Volunteers:
"In marching from Boonsboro' towards
Funkstown, the Vermont brigade in cd
vance Of the corps, the little stream.
Beaver Creek, was passed, and General
Howe found Buford's cavalry. in his ad-
vance holding . strong position against
the skirmishers Of the rebel infantry. At
Gen. Buford's request, Gen. Howe sought
and obtained permission to send the Yer.
mont Brigade to relieve the cavalry.
Col. Lewis with his Fifth Vermont and
part Of the Second, and Col. Barney with
the Sixth regiments at once deployed -
skirmishers, forming their line two miles
long. The Third and Fourth regiments
were supporting battery, and the bal
ance of the Second was held in reserve.
They saw the rebel infantry approach =
strip of woods in front, and at once ad-
vanced and occupied it themselves.
Against this long thin line of skirmishers
the rebels opened a severe fire of artillery
and musketry, and advanced todrive the
skirmishers from their position; but the
brave mountaineer never dreaming that
a Sixth corps skirmish line could not
hold rebel line of battle, resolutely re-
fused to leave and sent the presumptuous
rebel line Of battle to the rear in cenfu-
sion; not, however, until Col. Stoughton
with the Fourth and Col. Eeaver with the
Third, came forward to the support Of
the Fifth and Sixth. Again, the rebels
disgusted at being repulsed by skirmish
line, came up in several lines Of battle
and charged upon the vermonters and
they again went to the rear in confusion.
A third charge was made against the OBJ
stinate skirmish line, and third time
the attack was broken. Meanwhile q
strong force attempting to cross the An
tietam and come in on the flank, was re-
PEELED by the Second Vermont.
The gallant brigade had repelled An
derson's brigade, of seven large regiments
from its front, and another from its flank.
An instance Of skirmish line, mile
and half from any. support, resisting
repeated attacks Of troops in line Of bat
tie is rarely found in the history Of
armies.
The men used from sixty to eighty
rounds of cartridge, and when the first
supply was exhausted fresh one wal
brought to the front on stretchers.
The victory cost the brigade a loss Of
nine men killed and fifty-nine wounded
while the enemy lost more than two hun
dred men,"

Overwork and Under-rest.

There is nothing better understood
than that an overtasked brain will speed
lily lose its power. if, indeed, it be not
driven to a fatal congestion. We no
longer err through ignorance. A clergy
man, for instance, knows perfectly well if
he devotes his nights to writing sermons,
instead of sleeping, that very soon he will
be forced to ask his congregation forper-
mission to 60 to Europe. Still he keeps
up his unreasonable work, and makes it
a matter of conscience to commit long
and deliberate suicide. 1t isasserted up
on the strength of postmortem examin-
alton, that the late h-lamented Gov
ernor Andrew, public man. whose life
was of the greatest importance to the
whole country, was really killed by hard
work.
1t is painful to speak of anything like
censure of career so self-devoted, es-
pecially when we consider that Governor
Andrew knew perfectly we'll the terrible
risk which he was running. When he
gave himself to the cause of the Repub-
lie, just as literally took his life in his
hand as if he had volunteered to lead
forlorn hope upon the field of battle.
Was this sacrifice necessary? Was it wise
or prudent? Here was man of extra
ordinary capacity for public affairs; here
was life of uncommon value to the
community; here was that rarity in his
tory, an able man with an educated con-
science, here was one who might make
mistakes, and who did make them, but
who was utterly incapable of any act of
deliberate selfshness, and just in the ma
turity of his powers, just when he had
trained himself to fill higher posts in the
public service, he is suddenly called
away AT this exigent moment" to
borrow the language of Burke, the loss
of a finished man is not easily supplied"
Whoever undertakes to do the work of
FIVE days in one, will be sure either to
kill himself or to do his work badly. In
either case, nothing is gained by exces-
sive and unseasonably prolonged appli-
cation yet this is truth universally
acknowledged and just as universally
disregarded by students and public men.
The President of a college makes a fine
speech to the Freshmen; he tells them
that they must properly regard the laws
of health that night study is worse than
no study at all; that dyspepsia is the
bane of our colleges; that it turns out
upon inquiry that this excellent President
/ is in the habit of reading Hebrew for
half the night, and is himself a wretched
victim of chronic indigestion, has some
thing the matter with his head, is grow
ing deaf or growing blind, smokes more
tobacco than is good for him, and will
certainly be obliged to go to Italy by ad-
vice of the family doctor, unless Divine
Providence works special miracle which
J it is not at all likely TO do. "a ~

A Summer Night In Russia.

The sun shines in st. Petersburg in
June and July, for twenty hours day,
and even scarcely disappears beneath the
horizon. Inever experienced such swell
tering weather in any part of the world
except Aspinwall One is fairly boiled
with the heat, and might be wrung out
like wet rag. Properly speaking, the
day commences for respectable people
and men of enterprise, tourists, pleasure
seekers, gamblers, vagabonds, and tho
like-about nine or ten o'clock, and con
tinues till about four or five o'clock the
next morning. 1t is then st. Petersburg
fairly turns out--then the beauty and
fashion of the city unfold their wings
and fit through the streets, or float in
Russian gondolas upon the glistening
waters of the Neva then it is the little
steamers skim from island to island,
freighted with population just walked
up to realizing sense of the pleasures
of existence; then it is the atmosphere
is balmy, and the light wonderfully soft.
and richly tinted; then come the sweet,
witching hours when

Patiently give up their quiet being"
None but the weary. labor-worn serf

the fierce rays Of the sun, can sleep such
nights as these. call them nights, yet
what strange mistake. The sunshine

glow; the evening vanishes dreamily in
the arms Of the morning; there is moth

gradual and illusory. A peculiar and
almost supernatural light glistens upon
the golden dome Of the churches, the
glaring waters of the Neva are alive with
gondolas; miniature steamers are flying
through the winding channels of the y
lands strains of music float upon the
air; gay and festive thrones move along
the promenades Of Neveskoi; gilded and
glittering equipages pass over the bridges
and disappear in the shadowy recesses Of
the islands. Whatever may be unseemly
in life, is covered by rich and mystic
drapery of twilight Ross Browne.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,

The Directors of the Delaware Mutual Life
Insurance Company believing that its members are
not only entitled to receive all the of prem

under the name of dividends, but that they are
entitled to all the benefits which the large accurou

When the accum llation of funds from premium

the excess shall be loaned, to the highest bidder ON
the following terms, viz
First-Money shall be loaned to Policy holders
only.
'Secord.-No member shall borrow more than the

GOdey's Lady's Book.

The Proof Sheet, issued by Collins &

article on Cooley and Godey's Lady's Book,
says:
'Another peculiarly of Cooley Chat is,
of the Lady's Book, for the words are inter,

adhesive qualities. People who come in
contact with him seldom get away. Mrs.
Hale has been associate editor for twenty.
four years; Mrs. Parker and her son have
bound it from the beginning Mr.. Stevens
has superintendent the plate department
twenty six years; and Mr.. George S. Jones,
the chief clerk, has adhered to the estab-
lishment, boy and man, for twenty seven
years.
If it were needful to seek for an expana.
ton Of Mr.. Godey's great success, we might
find it in the fact that, like Longfellow s
ship builder,
Ellis heart is in his work; and the heart
dI'eth grace unto every art
He labors in his chosen field with persever-
ance, energy, and intelligent discrimination,
and is proud Of the monument he is raising.
In his sixtythird year, he continues the
careful personal supervision over each mum,
Der Of his Book that he exercised when
building up It's reputation. In the business
department, however, he has efficient assist.
ants in his sons, Louis and Francis, and in
Mr.. Jones.
Personally, Mr.. Cooley is a perfect type
of the American gentleman. He commands
respect as an able and honorable business
man; wins the esteem Of all who approach
him by the unaffected genteness and sim.
pllclty of his manner; and inspires love by
the goodness of heart that looks from his
eyes and is made manifest by his deeds.
