ROME. Friday, March 4, 1s70.-We do

question of the Pope's infallibility, but If
there be any truth in rumor, not few OF
the Fathers are in favor of winding up the
Council and going home. That there will

proaches is pretty certain. The risk would
be great, of fatal consequences, exposing
so many not accustomed to the climate to
the perils of Roman summer, and the
death already of more than dozen men,

Peter threatens to be stranded; or, to use
another figure, perhaps it would be better
to say that it is beating against a hard
rock. Infallibility has been sung in the
ear of the world so long a. to become tire
some. 1t begins to look like one Of those
bubbles which blown beyond due limits,
suddenly burst into thin air. Indeed, in
the Kingdom of Italy, whatever respect

Labor and Luck.

Among the wise sayings of Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher are the following:
1.-THE mere feet that you are Obliged to
labor IL not misfortune. The thing that
you desire in alienation would be the
greatest curse to you. Do not be ashamed
OF that place where God has shut you up.
God has put your tasks upon you, and re-
member that your enjoyment is to consist
in the essential of your nature. 1t is to
consist in the active use of those forces
which God has endowed you with, where
ever His providence has put you. And If
he has Withheld from you some Of those en-
joyr1ents which he has granted to others,
be assured, IL you are faithful, that in some
way they will be made up to you. Do not
fight out your battle. See to 1t that what
ever you lose--whether it be money, or
place, or what not-you do not lose your
manhood, or courage or honesty. Stick to
them. They are half your life.
+" think IL you were to go from man to
man, in all the ordinary channels Iof life,
You would find very few men, II you took
secret complaints, who did not labor under
the impression that they should be resigned
to their condition, 1t was u condition of
misfortune that they were Obliged to exert
themselves. The young man beginning in
life says to himself: i am obliged to rise
early and SIT up late, ana labor incessantly ;
but hope for a better time.' Ahi yes
that better time IL the FOOLS paradise of la
illness. He is obliged to work now, but he
looks forward to the time when he will not
be under the necessity of working. He
points to the favored sons, as he calls them,
of rich men, who were not born to work,
and who are useless In society, and laments
that, instead of having their good fortune,
he is doomed to life Of severe toll. But
tell you what you call good fortune has been
their ruin, and the necessity of laboring
has been your salvation. 1t has been that
which has made you what you have been
and what you are still. 1t has been token
of Gods mercy 10 you; and instead of be
moaning your condition, thank God for 1t. .

In reply to the question Of our correspon-
dent, We beg to say that failure to pay the
poll tax does not in any way affect the right to
vote, possessed by all male citizens otherwise
qualified. The constitution provides (article
<, section ST. that ''there shall be assessed on
all taxable polls in the State an annual tax Of
oEe dollar on each poll, the proceeds of which
tax shall be applied solely to educational pur-
poses: Provided, that no person shall erer be de-
prived Of the right Of suffrage for the non.pay-
rnent OF said td1." In more general terms, the
constitution provides (article viii, section 8,)
that 'the General Assembly shall never pass
any Law that will deprive any Of the citizens Of
this State Of the right of suffrage, except for
treason, murder. robbery or duelling, whereof
the person shall have been duly tried and con-
victed,r These provisions are conclusive as to
the Safe poll tax for educational purposes,
which is the only poll tax that may be levied
by the State, or by any municipal corpora
