ADVERSELY. -lts good for man to suffer
the adversely OF this earthly life for il brings
him back to the sacred retirement Of the heart
where only he finds that the heart is an exile =
from his native home, and ought not to place
his trust in any worldly enjoyment. 1t is good
for him also to meet with contradiction and re-
proach to be evil thought of, aud evil spoken
OF, even when his intentions are upright, and
his actions blameess; for this keeps him
humble, and is powertulantdote to the poison
Of vain-glory. When We are outwardIy despis- Il
ed and held in NJ degree of esteem and favour
among men, then chiefly il is that we have re-
course to the witness withinlus which is God.
Our dependence upon God ught to be SO entire
and absolute that We should never think it neees-
sary, IN any kind Of distress to have recourse
to human consultations
al When a regenerate man is sinking under ad
verslty, or disturbed aud tempted by evil
thoughts, then he feels the Necessity of the
power and presence of God in his soul without
which he certainly knows that he can neither
bear evil nor dogood; then he grieyes and prays,
and 'sgroans to rbe delivered from he bondage
OF corruption = then, weary Of living in vanity,
he wishes to die, that he may be di solved
and be with Christ and then he is fully con-
vinced that absolute security and perfect rest
and holiness are moi com patible With his present
state of life. a. q t-,.s ~r.,

The man who believes that there will be no
end to the negfo-that the Radicals will forever
and day, flourish his black skin as an ensign
of their triumph over all that is dearest in free
dom, or most enlightened in statesmanship-is
very much mistaken. The unfortunate negro
has unquestlonably served the heartless Jacobia
party a good turn; but it is merely temporary
one, and he will be made the most Of while he
is useful, and then abandoned for some new and
more efficient means Of political laggrandizement
Sambo is being used with vengeance Just now.

3, The Pressure in the Money Market.
.Gl On Thursday, in the Senate, Mr..
Linn offered for adoption the follow
ing;; which was laid on the table to be
printed: d9HIa H''ifi L" 't',i5 A -ia-7
r, Resolved by the General Assembly
of the State Of Ohio, That our Sena-
tors in Congress be requested to urge
the immediate passage of a law au-
thofizffg the issue of the United
States legal tender Treasury notes to
such an amount as shall restore the
currency to the country to what it was
prior to the cancellation and with
rdrawal of any such notes from circu-
lation by the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry, and thereby redeeming to the ex-
tent of such issue, the bonds of the
Federal Government.
This resolve is one in which men of
all parties have deep interest. That
particularly in the west, there is. u
scarcity of currency, every business
man knows and feels.
There is now a large amount of pub
lie debt, past due, but unpaid, the
Government having the option to pay
it now, or some years hence. If is
due in legal tender notes, and its pay
ment at this time, ,4would not only re-
lieve the pressure, but lessen the tax
es, by doing away with the necessity
fiof paying Isarious interest in the
debt. o1 'f-i 81 tfA iat 49,
We trust that the resolve of Mr..
Linn will not only be adopted blythe
Legislature of Ohio, but that Congress
will do sensible thing, by adopting
the plan proposed.-[Statesman. =-
