Paris. Dec. %, 1869.-The Emperor
Napoleon has received a diploma as hon.
orary member of the Archaeological So
ciety of the Prussian Rhenish provinces.
It is probable the present extraordinary
session of the Corps Legislatif will be ad-
journed tomorrow.
The Journal Official contains an impe-
rial decree making new postal arrange
ments between France and the United
States. Letters sent direct of ten gram
mes weight require prepayment of sixty
centimes; sent via England, seventy CEN
times. Stamps are to be obtained of the
French administration. Insufficient pre-
payment renders the postage null. The
prepayment of all letters carried by the
French steamers is obligatory.
The Bourse is quite firm over q rumor
that list of the new Ministry will appear

God Bless Our Loved Ones.

uow sensitive the heart becomes
AIhrough years Of love! How dearer
sday by day and year by year, grow
the darlin9s hom God hath given
US, and blessed US in the giving! At
eight, when the days turmoil is over
and the evening of healthful recrea-
tion is past-when the weary head
seeksits pillow, and the troubled mind
lays aside its pressure of worldly care
then the heart goes Quito its treas
ures. and the involuntary prayer as
cends for blessings upon loved ones.
God gives them comfort and JOY;
makes their hearts to sing; scatters
tie clouds which encompass them,
and sh VS. them tn clear, bright sun
of His mercy, which never ceasss TO
slime. How gladly, if we could,
would we place our arm beneath them
and bear them above the sorrows of
life. We would not only share their
grief. but, if God Suld permit, We
W,uld bear it in their stead, that their
hearts might ever be light, aud their
faces shine forever in sweet content.
B 1t every heart must know its own
grief, and the best we may do is to
Tighten the>Weight by such sympathy
end aid as lie within our power; and
this is much. A pressure of the
hand, a word Of cheer, look, tone
any expression which comes from
a true and loyal heart will bear the
heavenly blessing, and prove Gods
messenger for good. God bless our
loved ones! May their secret sor-
rows be open to His merciful eye;
may the sad forebodings which come
of physical ills. be turned to hopeful
ness through returning health. If
lifs's responsibilities press with cruel
weight upon the already oVerburden-
ed heart, may strength be given
equal to the task. and may way be
opened leading out of the depths of
darkness into the broad sunlight Of
His love.
If in its WEAKNESS and distraction,
the loved heart grows rebellious, and
seeks to thusrl the plans of Omnis-
cience, may wisdom be given to see
that even sorrow has its uses, and

How We Drink.

The Louisville Courier-Journal, in
an article "About Wines" says:
In this country we need to learn
hoO to drink. AS q people we are
as ignorant on this beautiful fine art
as young buffalOes; and we mix our
business and our conviviality much
as we mix our liquors, that is in the
b.astliest and most unsiVilized fash
ion. What wonder that we are tor
mented by occasional visitstions from
the animal kingdom, and, having re-
duced ourselves to the level of the
brute creation, are forced to receive
upon a very equal and intimate rels-

spider and the snake? BPr-TOoms

There is no greater blessing for a
man than to have acquired that heal

him to take delight in works sake;
not slurriug it over; not thinking how
soon it will be done and got rid of,
not troubling himself greatly about
what men say Of it when it is done,
but putting his whole heart and mind
into it, feeling the thing that he has
turned out, be it legal argument. a
