EDrroRs LEDGER: "The word hell "
(says Sauerteig) sis still frequently in
use among the English people; but |
could not, without difficulty, ascertain
what they meant by it. He'll generally
sgniGes the infinite terror-the thing a
man is infinitely afraid of and shudders
at and sbrinks from, struggling with his
whole soul to escape from it. There is a
hell, therefore, ifyou will consider, which
accompanies q man in all stages of his
history, and his religious or other devel-
opment. But the hell of men and people
differ notably. With Christians it is the
infinite terror of being found guilty be-
fore the Just Judge. With the old
Romans. l conjecture, it was the terror,
not of Pluto, for whom probably they
cared little, but of doing unworthily-
doing xnrirtuously- which was their
word for doing unmanfuly."
And now, what is it, if you pierce
through his eants, his oft-repeated hear
says-what be call bis worship and so
for,h-what is it that the Americas soul
does in very truth dread infinitely, and
contemplate with entire despair 2 What

A. j. TURNS OUT TO BE IN GOOD
HEALTH.

The friends of Ex.President johnson
persuaded themselves that his Excellen-
cy must be in very bad health, and at
once advised him to take trip to the
Springs. The old dowager packed his
carpet sack straight away and proceeded
on his journey; but, when getting to
Nashville, he snuffed the political breezes
in that section, and they were not such
as to insure his future against defeat, so
he sits down there and cant be made to
bulge an inch further. Andy has taken
the studs, and all the chronic COM
plants on terra frma cannot induce
him to leave off political trickery.
He knows full well the influences that
are being brought to bear against him to
cause his defeat fer the United States
Senate, and has taken up headquarters
in Nashville as an eligible point to make
the fight. You have seen your best days,
Mr.. President, and it is not worth your
while to strive against the inevitable de-
crees of fate and the settled judgment of
q people who have passed through a
great deal in the last four years. Who
eyer may be elected to succeed Mr..
Fowler In the Senate, Andrew johnson
evidently stands the least showing. His
old friends spew him out of their mouths,
and his enemies hate him. He has no
party, but is doomed to forgetfalness.
