substantial proof Of the approval Of
this meritorious conduct on the part
Of q grateful people by having pre-

as any he ever burned. The house
is luxuriously furnished, and is in
sured against FIRE. 1t seems that

to this is the conduct Of the illus
rious Lee. He was offered money
and houses in England and Virginia.

want to get along in the world,

citizen. One Of the apprentices
will become = master builder. One
Of the villagers will get . handsome
farm, and live like . patriarch.
But which is destined to be the
lucky individual? Lucky? There
is no luck about it. The thing is
as plain as the rule Of three. The
young fellow who will distance his
competitors, is be who masters his
business, who preserves his integri-
ty, who lives clearly and purely,
who never gets in debt. who gains
friends by deserving them, and puts
his money into the saving bank

Translators of the Bible have left
the word Selah, which occurs so
often in the Pslams, as they found
it, and Of course the English reader
often asks his minister or some
learned friend what it means. Aud
the minister or learned friend has
most often been obliged to confess
ignorance, because it is q matter in
regard to which tho most learned
have by no means been of one mind.
The Targums, and most Of the Jew.

the meaning of eternally, forever.

A Senator in Congress made an
acute remark the other day. He
said that if women had the ballot.
the best women would not use it /;
in other words, that it would be
with women as with men, and that
those whose influence on public af-
fairs would be most desirable, if
women were to vote at all, would
not appear at the polls. The failure
Of all these Women Suffrage Con-
ventions proves the truth Of this
shrewd observation. The great
mass Of the women in this country
do not want to vote. Such is their
apathy upon the subject-or more
strictly speaking, their antipathy
to it and to those who are agitating
it-that they resist the strong
temptations to attend the meetings,
and stay at home. 1t is enough for
US to state this wei known fact,
without philosophizing on it. 1t
is fact beyond question that .
great majority Of American women
do not respond to the appeals made
to them to ''strike off their fstters, :"
':assume their place as mems equal
at the ballot-box,'' and so forth.

frage question is wholly in woman $
hands. Excepting few men,

Diogenes might find more than one
single minded patriot among its
members. Still it must be admit
ted that incorruptible politicians
are lamentably scarce, just now, in
this much-plundered country. The
public interests are bought and sold
in the political market with a cool
nonchalance that has never been
equalled since the lucrative Offices
of the Roman empire wore offered at
public vendue in the forum. When
the French Government farmed out
the revenues of the nation to extor-
tioners, the people of France were
not more fearfully shaved and swim
died than We are to-day. Our stew
ards, as rule, are in league with
wealthy and powerful monopolies,
and the twain WORK US ON SHARES.
appropriation was the satiric al
term for thieving, in England, three
hundr ed years ago; but it is
now the literal equiva-
lent Of the bolder Saxon word. Our
public lands are stolen from US whole
sale, for the benefit of chartered as
sociations, the robbers being paid in
"stock'' by the receivers for thus
"appropriating' public property for
corporate use. The taxes which
represent heavy percentage of the
products Of national labor, are fear
fully sweatcd down in their trans
mission from the pockets Of the peo-
pic to the Treasury, and sweated
again to nearly the same extent in
the process of distribution, and
hence new loans become necessary,
and the public debt increases. In
short, we are looked upon by our
political guardians-Heaven save
the MARYLAND the outside cliques,
rings, and monster companies in
confederacy with them, as sheep to
shear, and they clip US to the very
quick. The whole tendency Of leg
islation-statc, national, ard mu-
nicipal, and Of the administrative
system under which the laws are
put in force-is to make the rich
richer, and the poor poorer. If this
goes on ten years longer We shall
have in this country such nm aris-
tocracy Of wealth as the world bas
never yet seen, and the productive
industry Of the land will be a mere
blind Samson at the mercy of the
Philistine Lords aggraudized at its

Low down the hill the sunbeams slide,
Der the broad river sinks the sun,
Flushing with rose the languid tide,
And day is done.
Turn to me that beloved face,
Close, close to my unquiet heart,
One moment rest in my embrace,
For we must part.
Whirled rudely from their parent trees,
The last sere leaves come hurrying down
And ON the wayward autumn breeze
Are round us blown.
Slow fall the heavy dews, like tears
Drawn from proud eyes unused to weep,
And DER the yellowing inland meres
Dim shadows creep.
The silence deepens. Closer still
Fold her fond arms! We sever soon.
See, DER the brow Of yonder hill
Slow sails the moon
One last gaze-one long last kiss
Oh vacant life oh, lonely heart! ...
Death holds no anguish, life no bliss.

The Constitutional Amend.
ment mot Ratlned by MIS-
souri,.

Amending the Constitution can
not await the slow progress of the
mails. The Missouri Legislature
wanted to ratify by telegraph. The
second section, which authorized
Congress to enforce the first section,
had not been altered in the various
changes of the other; therefore,
when Mr.. Benjamin despatched tho
amendment to the Legislature he
thought it only necessary to give
the true text Of the disputed section
and he left out the other to save ex-
penses but the Legislature ratified
only what he despatched. OF
course, this is not ratification. The
Legislature has adjourned, and will
meet again next January. We have
not been able to see the propriety
of this clause giving special author
ity to enforce special section
Congress has authority to enforce
every provision Of the Constitution
whose subject comes within tho
province Of legislation. This adj
dition implies that Congress has no
authority tc enforce the other Sec
tions, and that all the rest Of the
Constitution is left to enforce itself.
1t is one Of our modern improve
mcnts. Bot whether necessary or
not, it is part Of the proposed
amendment, and therefore Missouri
has not ratified and therefore, 20
far as her action goes, the question
will stand open through the elcc-
tions next fall. This is unlucky.
When parties get to changing the
Constitution by telegraph, they
should contemn the expense. Gin
