THE FATE OF The IMPEACHERs.

1t is worth the peoples while to mark
the fate that has already visited the
chief conspirators in the matter of i'm
peaching President johnson. Ashley,
who originated and proposed the infa-
nous act in the House, has been repu.
dated BY his then constituents, and is
now wandering lecturer for the sale Of
corner lots iu Montana. Senator Drake
who stood up in his place and assailed
President Johuson with degree Of
brutality that would have been disgrace.
fnl to say other body. has been buried
in the political revolution that has swept
over Missouri. Senator Yates, who
came into the Senate trembling under
the weight of his last debauch, to vote
for conviction, though he had heard
nothing Of the trial, will soon sink into
ob>curi,y by the action Of his own party
friends in the Legislature Of Illinois.
Williams, of Oregon, who vas most bit.
ter aud vindic.ive iu the persecution OF
the President, has already been repudi-
ated by the people of his State. Sena
tor Howard, of michigan. who went to
the Capitol on a stretcher 10 order 10
vote for the conviction Of the President,
is on the high way to that political OBJ
livion from which he will never return.
Senator Conness, another Of the Presi-
dents accusers. has been consigned to
private life by the people Of California.
and has left that State to become kind
Of police court lawyer in New York.
Senator Frelinghuysen, Of New Jersey,
has been mustered out political service
through a verdict Of the people of bis
State. Morgan ofN " York, has shared
the same fate, and Pomeroy, Of Kansas,
will enter his political tomb vher he
leaves the Senate in 1873 Morton finds
himselfin oposi,iou to the will ofthe peo.
pie of Indiana, with prospective order
of dismissal staring him..iu the face. VIII.
ley, OF West Virginia, goes into political
retirement after the fourth Of March
next, ami the whole band Of impeachers
is fast going.

The sunshine of life (says an e1-
change) is made up OF very little beams
tha. are bright all the time. In the
nursery. on the playground, and in the
school room there is room oil the time
for little acts Of kindness tha, costs
nothing, but are worth NOR: than gold
or silver. To give up something where
giving up will prevent unhappiness to
yield, wher persistins will chate aud
fret others; to go little around rather
than come against another; to take an
i'll word or cross look, rather than re-
sent or return it; these are the ways in
which clouds and storms are kept OF.
aud pleasant, smiling sunshine secured
even in the humble home among very
poor people, as we'll as in families IN
higher stations.

He turned her around so that she
could see herself in the full length
mirror, and exclaimed
"Let me introduce you to Mrs. Starl-
ing, the only mistress this house has
ever had since her husbands mother
died. Long may she reign the queen
of his home as OF his heart 2"
The tears rolled down Myrtle's cheeks.

soxING L1rrLE SEEDS.

"You are sowing tiny little seeds
every day, Bessie" said her father.
"Oh. no, father, I have not planted
any seeds"
II have seen my daughter SOW seeds
to-day"
Bessie looked puzzled.
"When you laid aside that interest
ing book, and attended TO what your
mother wished done, you were sowing
seeds Of kioduess aud. love. When you
broke the dish that you knew your
mother valued, and came instantly aod
told her, you we're sowing seeds oftruth

A GOOD cHARacrER.

A good character is rather to be cho-
sen than great riches, and loving favor
rather than silver aud gold.
Good character is like stock in trade
the more Of it q man has the greater
his facilities for adding to it.
A pure mind is the foundation OF q
pure character, which is Of amazing
worth tc every young person.

COLoRs.

Itisa great art to know wha. colors
go best together Green looks well with
gold violet or red; pale blue With scar
let, pink, with black and white, and
gray with scarlet or pink. A cold color
generally requires warm tint to give
it life. White aud black are usually
safe for any complexion. Pink is be-
coming to some, but not if there is
mach color in the cheeks or lips =
Maize or straw color is particularly be-
coming to people Of dark complexion,
with black hair and eyes. Above all,
whatever be the color of the dress, The
ornaments and trimmings, throughout,
should be correspondent one with the
other. Ifall that finishes dress har-
uonizes, then the general effect canuo'
fail ofbeiug good.

Little care for daisies

Child Of gloom aud DEATH

With celestial breath;
Useless now to bless or harm,
Vain their poison, vain their balm;

Amaranths, we fancicd
Flowers that could not die;
Morning glories, fading
Ere thoir dew was dry
Which has now the nobler claimY
Which has now the prouder namop
Dry and shrivelled, old and brown
In the wet grass tread them down.
Aconito and neitlc,
Myrtle wreath and rose,
All, all fall together
When the north wind blows.
