PARTY UNITY.

The Louisiana Mtelligcncer, pub
lished at Monroe, remarks:
The stand taken by the Iliad,
Inteliigencer, Madison journal and
other Republican papers through
ont the State, can only be produc-
tive of the best effects
This refers to the effort on the
part Of some of the Republican pa
pers of the State to heal our party
ituds and put down factionists. As
we have recently often remarked, if
this cannot be done, our whole
party organization should be aban-
doned to the enemy. 1t may as
well be. But we think we shall
have harmony and success for the
future. If our so-cailed leaders
cannot command sufficient patriot
ism to work for this end, let them
be cast out of the political syna-
gogue, as evil spirits, for such they
will have proven themselves. We
do not see why any one man or set
of men should be permitted to rule
a party to ruin simply because that
party may have heretofore honored
him or them with high official sta
tion. Do yor? To admit such a
proposition, would be to acknowl-
edge the masses slaves, and party
organization only a machinery for
fortune. We will have none of it.
so far as the Homer Iliad is con-
cerned. Do, You mind that? You
had best.-Homer Hiad, Oct. Z.

What a Man knows.

What a man can write out clearly.
correctly, and briefly, without book
or reference of any kind, that he
undoubtedly knows, whatever else
he may be ignorant OF. For. knowl-
edge that falls short of that--kaowl-
edge that is vague, hazy, indistinct
uncertain-I for one profess no re-
spect at all And I believe that
there never was time or country
where the influences of careful
training were in that respect more
needed; Msn live in. !. haste write
in -hastte. wds geing tosay tA;nA
in haste; only that pef6apss the
word thinking is hardly applicable
to that large number who, for the
most part, purchase their daily al.
lowance Of thought ready-made.

ODD TEXTS FOR SERMONS.

At Trinity college, Cambridge,
it is the custom when a new master
is chosen to close the gates, and he
comes, knocks, and is admitted.
When the celebrated DR.. Bentley
was chosen, the fellows hated him
so much that they would not open,
and he had to get in by climbing
over a wall between the gardens of
Trinity and st. Johns. There is a
story that he preached his first SER
mon afterward from the text,
4" With the help of God I shall leap
over the wall" But the truth is
that he only replied to friends
congratulation in these words of the
Psalmist.
Mr.. Raine, vicar of Trumping-
ton, was succeeded in that cule by
MIR. Hailstone. Somebody said the
new incumbent ought to preach on
Z" He gave them hailstones for
rain" ri-
Mr.. Pitt, who became premier Of
England in his Oath year, usually
had some preferment or other in
his pocket when he came down to
Cambridge. DR.. Paley, on one of
these occasions, said that if he were.
to preach before him be,would take.
for his: t6xt; ."'There is a lad here
which hath five barley loaves, and
two small fishes. but what are they
among 30 many?" But the doctor
did not do it. ~ 3 . sN'l
