A WASHINGTON letter to the Boston Adper-
tiser makes these announcements as to
Grants policy. They are probably merely
shrewd guesses from his known opinions.
The letter writer says: General Grant
will oppose all schemes not absolutely nee
essary that take money eut of the Treasury.
He will recommend the transferring Of the
Indian Bureau to the War Department and
break up the fraud, and suggests that no
more Pacific Railways be subsidized for the
present. He has limited that the Tenure-of-
Office bill ought to be repealed, but does not
positively say 20, though he declares that il
it Is not repealed Congress must sit through
the summer. BE believes that the army in
the Southern States ought not to be reduced

Southern people deal fairly with each

FISK AND FAME.

We apprshend the New York Sun takes
somewhat Of pleasure in uncovering some rel
etons hidden in great railroad houses. II says.
Mr.. james Fisk, Jr., who had Mr.. Bowles Ar
rested for libel, 10 himself libser. He has gross
" dtwo Of our most prominent business men,
Commodore Vanderbilt and Daniel Drew, and we
can ses no good reason why, when he next visits
this city, ht should not be arrested 1t the suit Of
ono or both OF them, and imprisoned in the Lnd-
low strsst jail, 1t an expense Of nineteen dollars
and ffty cents night
Commodore Vanderbilt Is the greatest railroad
man in the country, and Mr.. Drew IL the greatest
founder OF = religious seminary in the country,
besides being ~ much Of : railroad man - Mr..
Fisk and We do not propose to look on consent-
ingly and see these great New Workers abused.
Mr.. Drew il not only the founder Of An excellent
seminary, 1T which the best of morals are taught,
and young men are fitted for the ministry, but he
also knows how to keep hotel and formerly
kept the Bulls Head; aad il Mr.. Fisk ever
stopped there whom he drove his peddler's wagon.
We dare say he Jared better than he 10 likely to in
his libel suit.
The Air. which Mr.. Fisk puts on toward Mr..
Vanderbilt and DR.. Drew arc certainly calculated
to afford those gentlemen and the public 1t large
some amusement. Mr.. Fisk considers il libellous
to associate his hape with theirs, and to compare
him with them Oh the sristocracy, the exclu-
sivensss Of peddlers who have once reached the
dignity Of driving four in hand
The derogatory remarks Of Mr.. Fisk about our
distinguished fellov-citisens contained in bis
proceedings in the case against Mr.. Bowief. The
defendant having demanded Of the plaintiffs at
torney bill Of particulars, one WAS served &C
cordingly, containing copy Of the entire article
publishedin the Republican, and assigning the

rection OF sundry railroad corporations, are com

That will do for Mr.. Fisk.

MORAL fNFLUENcE.-The influence of a
good example is far reaching, for, as con
temporary says, our experiences and conflicts
with the world lead US at times to indulge
misanthr6pic sentiments, and charge all men
with selfish and impure motives. The play
of pride, prejudice and passion, and the ca
gerness manifested by the great majority Of
men to advance their own interests, often at
the expense of others, and in violation OF
the golden rule, cause us to look with sus-
picion on the best intents of others. AFRO
gance, hypocrisy, treachery and violence,
every day outrage justice till We are almost
disposed to disSrust human nature and be-
come discouraged. But amid all that is sad
and disheartening in this busy and noisy
world, now and then there is presented to US
a life of such uniform virtue, that We recos-
nize in it character that brings hope for
the perfect development and ultimate regen-
Grafton of our race. Such characters are
precious. and such examples should be held
up to the world for its admiration and imi-
tation; they should be snatched from obliv-
icn and treasured in the hearts and thoughts
of all who are in process of forming habits
and maturing character.

REsF.-Rest! How sweet the sound. Il
is melody to my ears. 1t lies a reviving cor
dial at my heart, and from thence sends forth
lively spirits, which heats through all the
pulses of my soul. Rest Not as the stone
that rests on the earth, nor as this flesh shall
rest in the grave. nor such rest as the eter-
nal world desires. o, blessed rest ! where
we rest day and night, saying, Holy, Holy,
Holy, Lord God Almighty where we shall
rest from sin, but not from worship, from
suffering and sorrow, but not from joy. O,
blessed day when shall rest in the bosom
of my Lord when | shall rest in knowing,
loving, rejoicing and praisfng when my
perfect soul and body shall together enjoy
the most perfect God when God, who is
Love itself, shall perfectly love me, and rest
in his love to me, as rest in my love to him !;
and rejoice over me with joy, and JOY over
me with singing, as shall rejoice in him !

AN EASY PLAcE.--Rev. Henry Warj
Beecher some time since received lette
from young man who recommended him
self very highly as being honest, and closed
with the request ''Get me an easy situa
tion where honesty will be rewarded" II
which Mr.. Beeeher replied: Don't be al
editor if you would be easy. Dou't try
the law. Avoid school keeping. Keep out
of the pulpit. Let alone all ships, stores,
and merchandise. Be not a farmer or a
mechanic, neither soldier nor a sailor
Don't practice medicine AbhoF politics.
Keep away from lawyers. Don't think
Don't work None of these are easy.
o; my my honest friend, you are in very
hard world know Of but one real easy
place in it, That is the grave"

FEMALE CoMPANY.-How often have We
seen company of men, who were disposed
to be rfotous, checked all at once into de
cency by the accidental entrance of an ami
able woman; while her good sense and o
bligiug department charmed them at least
into temp orary conviction that there is
nothing so beautiful as female excellence,
nothing SO delightful as female conversation.
To form the manners of men, nothing con
tributes so much as the caste of the women
they converse with. Those who are most
associated with women of virtue and under
standing, will be always found the mos,
amiable characters. Such society, beyond
everything else, rubs off the protTusions
that give to many an ungracious roughness
1t produces polish more perfect and more
pleasant than tha; which is received from a
general commerce with the world The
last is often specious, but commonly super
fetal the other is the result of gentler
feelings. and a more elegant humanity; the
heart, itself, is moulded, and habits of un-
dissembled courtesy are formed.

INDIAN SIMMER,

Inst after the death of the flowers
And before they buried in snow,
There comes a festival season,
When nature is all sglow-
Allow with a mystical splendor
That rivals the beauties of Spring
Aglow with beauty more tender,
Than aught which fair summer could bring.
Some spirit akin to the rainbow,
Then borrow. its magical dyes,
And mantles the fsr spreading landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes.
The sun from its cloud pi!lowed chamber
Smiles soft on vision so gay,
And dreams that his favorite ch ,ldren,
The flowers, have not yet passed away.
There's luminous mist on the IN mountains,
A light azure haze in the air,
As if angels while heavenward soaring,
Had left their bright robes floating there.
The breeze is so soft, so caressing.
Itseems a mute token Of love.
And floats to the heart like blessing,
From some happy spirit above.
These days so serene and so charming,
Awaken dreamy delight
A tremulous, fearful enjoyment.
Like soft strains OF music at night;
We know they're fading and aeeting.
That quickly too quickly, they II end,
And we watch them with yesrning affection,
AS at parting we watch a dear friend.
Oh beautiful Indian summer
Thou favorite child of the year,
Thou darling whom nature enriches,
With gifts and aiornmeuts so dear
How fain would we WOO thee TO linger
On mountains and meadow awhile,
For our hearts like the sweet haunts of Natur
ReJoics and grow young in thy smile.
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1869-11-17

MUSINGS. oh, how sad is our heart, as
We think of the days OF long ago-of the
friends and loved ones of other years We
have confidence that they still live and love
that they remember US in the earth scenes
of the past-that they have gone into the
higher spheres and are in more beautiful
and purer home of love than ours but We
are lonely because they are no longer by our
side, as of yore,-bccause we see them only
in memory's mirror, or on The album sa-
eyed page. Sadness comes oyer our heart,
when we remember their sufferings and
their departure from earth. Oh, how hard
that parting-that giving up Of home and
friends-not alone by US who live, but by
the departed themselves Life and loyec
ones were dear to them-the future all un
tried, unknown-yet trey died in hope
with trust in God, through our Lord Jesu.
Christ
We would not recall their souls to earth
to pass through all its scenes of woe again
but we can not, would not forget them, anC
our heart yearns for their companionshir
once more. Memory recalls the past. Love
still lives in the heart Its vestal fame
still burns warm and bright on that sacred
alter of the soul
