appearance was greeted with cheers and clap
ping of hands by the colored people present,
who crowded around him and offered their
congratulations Gov Warmoths proclaim
alton conyening the legislature was read, and
then the order of Gen. Buchanan issued on
the previous Saturday fulfilling the order OF
Gen. Grant for the removing Of Gov. Baker
and Lieut. Gov Voorhees,, and announcing
the appointment Of II. c. Warmoth and 0s-
car j Dunn After considerable debate ON
the test OATH and protest by the Democrat
ic members, Mr., Dunn insisting that that oath
should be taken, the Senate was organized.
The House duly organized, after similar de-
bate and protests concerning the test oath.
The Democratic members of the legislature
called upon Gen. Buchanan and laid before
him the proceedings of that body wherein
they were required to take the test oath in
direct opposition to the suggestion of General
Grant in his order TO Cen Buchanan ON that
subject, wherein he advises that no other oath
be required of members save that imposed by
the Constitution Gen. Buchanan referred
the matter to the authorities at Washington.

In the Senate, on Tuesday the committee
to whom was referred Gen, Buchanans COM
municaton, wherein is given the decision OF
Gen. Grant relative to the oath to be taken
by members, reported as follows THE COM
mittee are of the opinion that the action OF
the President in requiring members to take
the test oath should be fully sustained A
due respect, however, to the wishes of the
General commanding the armies of the Unit
ed States, induces your committee to recon-
mend the discontinuance of the test oath, and
that hereafter members be allowed to qualify
in accordance with the Constitution of the
State and the proposed amendment to the
Constitution Of the United States known as the
10th article" The report was adopted and
the members who had protested against the
ties: oath were sworn in. In the House a sim
liar committee report, advising that the mem
bers be allowed to take their seats on sub
scribing only to the oath required by the new
Constitution, was adopted, and the members
were qualified for office. Thus, after deal
of trouble, the legislature is enabled to begin
its legitimate work.

TuE IMMoRrAL.-We wonder at the May
fly, which is born in the morning and dies in
the afternoon. Yet why should we wonder ?
Its little life is brimful of happiness 1t looks
to no future; it dances out its little existence
in the sunlight, and perhaps more happiness
is crowded into its few hours Of being than in
to the lives of creatures which live longer
and it does not startle us that fly should live
fy's life. But how extraordinary-how
difficult to reconcile with Gods goodness, if
to man, made for immortality, with thoughts
and feelings reaching far beyond this lower
world, were allotted only life as brief as
"the vapor that appeareth for a little time
and then vanisheth away" We will not be-
lieve it. God will not leave us in the dust.
His own promise and invitation is" Thy
dead men shall live; together with my dead
body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye
that dwell in the dust for thy dew is as the
dew Of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the
dead" Isaiah xxxvi.; l9.) Do we then
put contempt on the present life? Far from
it. 1t is bright with a light thrown back up
on it from eternity. But shut out that light,
and show great is the darkness - The

Don't Write There.

Don't write there" said one to lad who
was writing with diamond pin on pane Of
glass in the window of hotel
"Why2" said he.
" Because you can't rub it out"
There are other things which men should
not do, because they cannot rub them out. A
heart is aching for sympathy, and cold, per.
haps a heartless word is spoken. The impress
sion may be more durable than that of a dia-
mond upon the glass. The inscription on the
heart may last forever.
On many mind and many a heart, sad
inscriptions are deeply engraved, which nc
effort can erase. We should be careful what
we write on the minds of Merry,

Laid on the marriage altar there.

Outgush of one heart filled by two,
The angels listened with hushed wing,
Then upward bore the offering.
And soon amid the angel throng
In heavens bright mansions rose the song,
Joy JOY to earth IA new home given
To Love and Faith, to God and Heaven"

My DEAR FET Ir OUr!"

Because there is life, enterprise, thrift con-
stant growth, while here all tends 10 decline
in many Of the older towns aud churches. and
in many more it is hard struggle to keep

good women TO assist one
In the West we have young men. vigorous,
active, earnest; and when they take hold mat
ters move. You may glorify New England
scenery and will assent to it all with pleas
ure, and yet ! say, give me the West as my
field Of labor and my home.
If the same life we have in the West--the
same wealth, enterprise and yigor, could be
had with those cold sterile rocks and broken
guriaces, ! might prefer New England but il
only one can be had give me the first | de.

ries, but that love hc life they foster IN

men, their energy and zeal, which expect
there to find as | do not find them IN this

SwEMING ALoNE.--A gentleman once
heard a laboring man swearing dreadlully il
the presence of number of his companions
He told him il was cowardly thing to swear
so in company with others, when he dare mol
do it by himself The man said he was not Il.
fraid to swear at any time or in any place
I'll give you ten dollars said the gentleman
if you will 90 into the village graveyard at
twelve o'clock tonight, and swear the same
oaths you have just uttered here when you
are alone with God.
agreed said the man; "it is an easy way
of earning ten dollars"
"When you come to me tomorrow and say
you have done it, the money is yours"
The time passed on midnight came The
man came to the graveyard. II was night
of pitchy darkness As he entered the grave
yard not sound was heard all was as still
as death. Then the mans words, alone lcitl
God came over him with wonderful power
The thought of the wickedness of what he haC
come there to do darted across his mind like
flash of lightning. He trembled at his folly
Afraid to take another step, he fell on hi
knees, and instead of the dreadful oaths he
came there to utter, the earnest cry went up
" God be merciful to me sinner"
The next day he went to the geutl emar
and thanked him for what he had done, ant
said he had resolved not to swear another
oath as long as he lived

why Daher didn't keep the Horse.

Lamartne tells the following story, which
nculcates an excellent moral Daher was very
anxious to possess a famous horse owned by a
Bedoun of another tribe, named Nabcr, but
failing to secure it by offering every thing he
could part with, he resorted to stratagcm.-
Disgusting himself as a lame beggar, he wait
ed by the road side where Naber was to pass.
As Naber rode by on his beautiful steed,
Daher cried ont in a weak voice, 4" | am a
poor stranger; for three days | have been
unable to move from this spot to seek for food
am dying; help me, aud heaven will reward
you.
The Bedouin kind y offered to take him upon
his horse and carry him home, but the rogue
replied; =" cannot rise, | have no strength
left"
Naber dismounted, led his horse to the spot
and with great difficulty set the seeming beg
gar on his back But no sooner did Daher
find himself in the saddle than he set spurs tc
the horse and galloped of, callingas he did so
at is |, Daher have got the horse and
am off with it"
Naber called after him to stop and listen.
Certain of not being pursued he turned and
halted a short distance from Naber, who was
armed with only spear. "You have taken
my horse" said the latter. "Since heaven has
wiIled it, wish you much JOY of it; but do
conjure you never to tell any one how you OBJ
tanned it,
And why not2' said Daher
Because said the Arab, "another man
might be really III, and men would fear to help
him. You would be the cause of many refu.
sing to perform an act Of charity for fear Of
being duped as | have been"
Struck with shame at these words, Daher
was silent for moment, then sprnging from
the horse, returned it to its owner, embracing
him, and accompanying him to his tent, whore
they spent few days together, and became
fast friends for life
