What's the Use of Living.

That is what Susy Baker was much in the
habit of saying. Life don't 20 very smoothly
with Susy. She had Il cross husband, and
siclsly children, and was very poor. SO she
often became discouraged; and as she recount
ed her trials, sometimes to her husband, some-
times to her neighbors, and sometimes only to
herself she would wind up with the disconso-
late question, whats the use of living2"
\ good woman, who was gong by her cabin
one day, happened to hear the sad words; she
stopped to see who it was that spoke. She
looked in at the open door; and there sat Susy
IN an old rocklng-chair, leaning over, with
her elbows on her knees, and her head on her
hands, her face clouded and unhappy. The
good woman looked steadily at her for mo-
ment and then said, 81 think there's great
use of living"
Susy started as She heard the words for she
did not know any one was near--and looking
up, saw very pleasant bright face gazing in
upon her The face smiled, and then the lips
began to speak.
A." | used to feel very much like you, my
poor woman; but, thank God, I've got all
over it now for | have found out what's the
Use ofliying. It's something just to oouut up
the good and beautiful things God has given
US. There's this lovely sunlight, and the pure,
sweet air and cool showers, the trees and
grass and vegetables and fruit. Then there's
the nice still dark nights to sleep in when we
are tired; and husband to work"
Here Susy interrupted; "lie's cross old
jack
"My husband was cross once; but he isn't
now. think il was as much nay fault as his
When | left off fretting and scolding, he got
to be as pleasant and good-natured as anybody
need be-"
Susy opened her eyes IL can't help fret
ting" said she, "for the children are AWAY,
ailing.n
"Just the way mine were once till learn,
ed TO take care of them"
"Why, what did you do3"
Il gave them very simple food-lnush ant
milk, bread and butter, potatoes and salt, rice
and such plain, nourishing things. put then
TO bed early, and had the room well aire,
where they slept. dressed them warmly witt

THE FINANCES.

There was an animated discussion in the
Senate on Friday, growing out of the 6nan.
cial predictions of Secretary McCuloch
Mr. Morrill, (of Vcrmont declined to ac.
cept the estimates of Senator sherman, which
show a deficiency of sixteen millions of dol.
lars at the end of the next financial year.
He said -
q" | desire that Senators shall examine this
question for themselves do not ask them
to take my estimate; but | say this, and |
am willing to have II put upon record, that
the deficit instead of being sixteen millions.
will be more than forty million dollars. /,
not that enough If we shall pass the hin
as reported, the deficit will be more than for
ty million dollars for the year to come, in my
Judgment
Senator tcsscndcn, who is so well ocquaut.
ed with the financial condition of the coun.
try, was even more positive in his dcclar.
tons, and showed that it would not do to re.
ducc the Government receipts too much.
Said he

The Impeachment a Necessity

A. j. thinks the Republicans are nconsist-
emily Jealous to try him before Jefferson Da-
Wis Is tried whereas his offence, as compared
with Davis, is perfect innocence. He is right
in that comparison, but by whose act is it that
Davis was not tried before Il military tribunal
where he ought to have been tried BY whose
unmitgated abuse of the pardoning power is
it that the rebels stand debating terms to the
Government of the United States on which
they will re-enter the Union? Perhaps he is
more surprised that instead of impeaching
him for violating the tenure of Office act, they
should not have impeached him for melting
and abetting the New Orleans massacre and
other massacres as heinous. in every appro-
pirate sense of the word he has been a she,lder
Of blood, a peryerter Of justice, an abetter of
crime, an enemy to equal rights, the friend
and supporter of aristocrats and tyrants, the
debauched and untrustworthy official, and has
escaped the punishment due to such atrocities /;
and now for the offence Of violating the tenure
Of office act he is to be tried, not for his life,
but for his Office This is the last straw that
was so uncomfortable to the poor camel The
friends of justice hope that he will suffer the
penalty of the law he has broken. They well
know that if by artful lodges and delays, the
culprit is allowed to escape, the Republican
party becomes fully a participation in his
crimes. This is indeed a position and respon-
slbility the party in power cannot escape, and
it is hoped they will see and feel it, But his
plea admits his own guilt. 1t may not COM
pare with Davis but still it is crime, and
President of the United States must not be a
criminal. Let him be punished for it as he
deserves, and no more, and he will have no
cause to complain, and the people will learn
that there is difference between official right
and wrong They will see that official delin-
quency cannot be always blinked out of sight.
They will see there is difference between
loyalty and rebellion and will not always
say that men who bear office under the gov
eminent are loyal, when their acts are notori-
ously rebel. BY their fruits We shall know
them. Whether Salisbury, Reyerdy John
son, or A. j, Whether high or low. There
is manifestly 80 much niquity in Washing
ton, and so little done to disturb it, that il is
beam Of sunshine in constant storm to
know that one criminal ispunished. Whoever

but this could have made no difference IN the
result. for no one would have discovered the
smoke in time to save his life. The wood in
the oven was burned to ashes, but, as the door
was closed. there was no danger OF falling
embers setting the house on fire and had we
staid to the concert, everything would have
been as when we left, except that little Eddio's
voice would never more have made music for
our ears. Every one said that with delay
of five or even three minutes we should have
been too late.
Many years have passed since then, yet now,
when the lamp of Faith burns dim, and God
and His promises seem a great way Oft, have
only to 60 back to this--the first, the last,
and only manifestation Of this nature-to feel
that " As a father carcth for his children so
careth He for us" Deliver us from evil,
for thine is the power is no mere iormality,
but words pregnant with meaning

Right after breakfast we started for the East

building near the Parliament House, and con-

minerals, the seeds, the specimen productions,
the dresses and manufactures, and the orna-
mcnts in gold, silver and precious stones, of
India, which have been stolen or purchased
from the native princes. 1t is of course a col
lection Of vast and barbaric riches. One hour
and half we gave to this and then turned
our steps to the National Gallery Of Paint

in which these exhibitions are made, are no.
