This report declares that those who
were expected to be present and sustain
any charges of official misconduct had dis
claimed any intention OF 80 doing, or Of
s.haying any knowledge or evidence Of off,
iiclal misconduct on the part Of Judge Car
spenter." The report then goes on to say
that ssNorH1EG, so far as they (the commlt-
sstee) can learn, EXISTS TO sULLY THE Off
sc1AL REPUTATION OF JUDGE CARPENTER.
This, to the public mind, as we'll as to the
Senate, was conclusive answer to the SIAN
derous attacks which Cain and Nash had
made, and the report was unanimously adopt
ed, on the 31st January last. Since that
time, Mr.. Corbin may have changed his
views, but he stands upon the record as one
who investigated the whole judicial career
of Judge Carpenter, and solemnly declared
that bis official reputation was unsullied.
When Mr.. Corbiu ventures to attack the
man whoa he prefessed to esteem, and did,
in public, laud to the skies, he may choose
his own horn of the dilemma, and reconcile
as he pleases the praises Of January and the
censures of July.

The Cross.

1t is not among Christians only that
the cross has been employed rs relig
ious symbol. 1t was used as such by
the aborlgines of North and South
America, as well as by the most ancient
nations of the Old World. Prescott re-
lates that the Spaniards found the cross
as an object of worship in the temples
of Mexico; and researches in Central
America and Peru prove that it was used
in the same way by the inhabitants OF
those countries. Lately,in Licking couE.
ty, Ohio, there wcre found several cross
es, among many other hitroglyphics,
sculptured upon rock; relics, s,doubtless
of great antiquity. Mr. Brinton, in
Myths of the New World, says that the
Indians regard the cross as an emblem
of the four cardinal points of the COM
pass.
The ancient PhGnicians; Pcrsians, AS
syrians and Brahmins looked upon the
cross as holy symbol, as is abundant
ly testified by the numerous hieroglyph-
les and the other pictorial representa-
tons on their monumental remains. The
cross is figured on Egyptian coins of the
time of the Ptolemies; and Ru6nus, Soc
rates and Sozomen, ecclesiastical histo-
rians of the fourth and fifth centuries,
all refer to the discovery Of the sigh OF
the cross in the temple Of Scraps, and
which was regarded by the Egyptians as
emblematic of the future life.-Lippin-

That W0ndrOus Prayer.

Which? Why, that one which youl
mother taught you. Didyou ever thinkl
short though it be, how much there is III
lit? Like the diamond in the crown OF
queen, it unites a thousand sparkling
gems in one: af
1t teaches all of US, every one of us,
to look to God as our parent-''Our Fa-
ther."
1t prompts us to raise our thoughts
and desires above the earth-"Who art
in Heaven"
1t tells MS we must reverence our
Heavenly Father-"Hallowed be thy
name"
1t breathes missionary spirit-"Thy
kingdom come.'
And submissive, obedlent spirit
"rhy will be done on earth as it is in
Heaven"
And d dependent, trusting spirit
"Give us this day our daily bread
And forgiving spirit-"Forgiye us
our tresspasses as we forgive those who
tresspass against us
A cautious spirit-"Deliver us from
evil" =
And last of all an adoriny spirit
"For thine is the kingdom and the pow
er, and glory for eve- and ever Amen"
Now it is both wonderful and a beau
tiful prayer2 Jesus our dear Saviour,
taught it, and who could better tell us
how to pray to His Father and our Ea-
ther, His God and our God r. HsEs

A slight Mistake.

When hoop-skirts first came into fash
ion, there lived in the city of M an
excellent physician who kept drug
store. Hoopekirts then, as now, were
often called skeletons. One day lady
stepped into the store and inquired of the
doctor if he had any skeletons, meaning
hoop skirts. The Doctor hesitatingly
answered in the affirmative, whereupon
the lady desired to see them. The Doc
tor asked the lady to step down to the
back end of the store, aud as she did SO,
he opened two folding doors to closet
and disclosed to full view two human
skeletons hung by wires. The lady
screamed, turned pale and tainted. The
frightened doctor applied rcstoratives,
and as the lady came to she exclaimed
in tone of terror: "Skeleton, but oh !.
not that kind.p 1t was long time be-
fore the Doctor heard the last of skele-
tons. sstsel.-

greeley and vanderbilt.

One evening, last summer, two mer
went aboard Hudson river boat, bound
for Albany. The first was a tall man.
with gray hair, but vigorous for his age.
The second was nearly as tall, but stout
Grand also gray, ,and his peculiar SLOUGH
ing walk attl acted a good deal of notice.
The boat cast off, and proceeded up the
river, while most Of the passengers sat
on the upper deck, enjoying the cool AIR,
and admlring the scenery of the Hudson.
Presently, a loud voice, pouring out
torrent of cxpletives, was heard on the
deck below. One of the boat hands had
let something heavy fall on the toes of
the tall, thin man, and he "opened'' on
that unfortunate menial. He cursed him
10 'Jericho," and "Halifax," and ''Je-
rusalein.' and place good deal war
mer than either, and called him more
names than he could report in week,
and made the polysYllable oaths fly
about so fast that the poor deck hand
was completely demolished and obliged
to retreat in wild confusion from the
scene. AT the same moment, man,
who had been leaning over Que of the
side rails began to swear. 1t was the
same man that had gone aboard after
the tall, thin one. He had taken off his
hat, and he was leaning over the rail, in
a contemplative attitude and mood, when
some one on the upper deck dropped q
tablespoonful of tobacco spittle on his
head!
