The Moss Rose.

Krummacher illustrates simplicity BY the
following beautiful fable:
The angel who takes care Of The flowers
and spruklcs upon them dew Of the still
night s|unbered on q spring day in tho
shade Off rose bush. When be awokc he
said:
"Most beautiful Of my children, ] thank
tho for tug refreshing olor and cooling
shade. Could you now ask any favor,
how willingly would | grant it,
:, "Adorn me then with new charm"
said the spirit Of q rose bush, in a bcscech-
ing tone.
! So tho angel adorned the lovcliest Of
flowers with simple moss. Swectly it
stood there 10 its modest attire. the moss
rose, the most beautiful Of its kind
So'the costliest ornaments are often the
simplest. There is no gold,nor jewel, nor
sparkling pearl equal to the ornaments Of
ameek and quietspirit, which is, in the sight
iofGod, Of great price"
A country clergyman, paying profess.
ional visitto dying ncighbor. who was
very churlish and universally unpopular
man, put tho question, care you willing
to 60 my frieud?' "Well said the simple
minded minister, ~ am glad you are, for
the neighbors are willing"

Joined 10 IFS Idols.

The evidences are abundant on every hand
that the Democratic party Is really unchanged
in its principles It's bitter hostility to all
the great events Of the war still remains, and
reveals itself on every convenient occasion
While some Of the moro polite leaders talk Of
burying dead issues of accepting the inoyeta.
blc--of advancing to new and higher ground
upon living and vital questions, nevertheless
the old virus remains, and manifcsts itself in
undated warfare upon the great and glorious
changes which has been made in the organic
law Of the hud-thc good fruits Of the rebel
lion
Only last week, Mr.. Williams presented to
the Senate Of the United States the resolutions
Of the Democratic legislature of Oregon, re-
jcciing the fifteenth amendment, and denying
its validity 1t disputes the authority Of the
nation to enforce any such measure The
amendment was lawfully proposed It was
adopted by Congress 1t was ratified by
threc-lourihs Of the States 1t conformcl in
every particular 10 the requirements Of the
fundamental law, and became itself part of
the Constitution in the prescribed manner
and through the highest expression Of the
national will No matter, says the Demo.
cratic Legislature OF Oregon, nothing can
make it valid, and We refuse to recognize its
binding force
Similar expressions have been made by
Democratic authorities elsewhere. They gen.
rally rcpudiato the amendment, and that is
,nly one indication Of their unchanged spirit.
n Missouri they elevate to the Senate the
most violent, revolutionary and dangerous
oader among them. In Virginia they vote
Without dissenting voice to purchase por-
RAFT Of the rebel General Lee and, equally
'ithout dissenting voice, not to purchase a
ortrait Of the Union General Thomas. Such
cts tell their own story The shrewder pol.
iicians may seek to lift the party out Of this
Tough, but they cannot succeed, because they
ttcmpt the impossible task Of changing its
ssental nature.
The success Of the Democratic party in the
ation would yitalize this revolutionary poll
" 1t would ensure the practical reversal of
he settlements which have been established. .
such action as this of the Oregon Logsla-
ure indicates the spirit if not the avowed is
ue, with which tho Democracy will enter
lpon the Presidential campaign

England Resolved unon Pracn.

The New York Hoaid, in view Of the
early settlement Of the differences between
Great Britain and the United States, says
that England is evidently resolved upon peace
and the closest relations Of friendship with the
United States For the last twenty years or
so she has been power on the European
Continent only through her entente cordiqle
with France
Now the prostration of France and the
uewly-rison and portentou, power Of the Ger
man Empire to England makes close ALI
auce with the United States necessity, look
ing to future contingencies The bulk Of the
vast trade meantime between Europe and
America is between England and the United
States. UpoaShis trade now hangs the Brit
sh Constitution War for six months be.
tween John Bull and Brother Jonathan
would precipitate a French revolution in Eng
laud and in Ireland. As it is, masses Of the
British people are pushing for American in.
stitutIons, and there is no escape for the Brit
ish aristocracy except through the closest re-
lations Of harmony with the United States.
The Joint High Commission at Washington
on American affairs may be ranked with a
conference Of all great powers of Europe.
Anticipating complete settlement of all
the difficulties pending between the two coun.
tries in this Washington conference, as in our
Northeastern and Northwestern boundary
treaties, we may mark it as the opening of
new career 90 England and the United States.
In generous rivalry they will only fight for
commercial supremacy Of the seas and the
United States England and Russia, by land
and sea, will have work enough before them
in developing their vast domains, which sweep
around the Northern circuit Of the globe.
Germany will regulate the European conti-
nent in behalf Of peace. The United States,
under the new compact Of peace and amity
with England, will hold Russia on the seas
and in China to terms Of peace At the same
time, step by step, we may look for reyolu-
ton in Great Britain and Ireland, which will
only end in breaking up the ieudal system and
make the land open to all people, as we have
it here.

The West Point Investigation.

The report Of the West Point lnyestrat-
ing Committee was submitted to the House
Thursday. Ii says in regard to the officers
of the Military Academy that their conduct
shows a lack of comprehension Of the princi-
pies Of military discipline. 1t is surprising
in officers Of long and honorable service in
the army that the only thing that can be said
in eXtenuatlon of their action is the fact that
their efforts to maintain discipline heretofore
have not been properly sustained by the au.
thoritics at Washington, and that the senten-
ees Of court martial, providing for the dis
missal Of cadets, have almost universally been
RENTED. As to the first class and its par.
ticipaton in the forcible dismissal Of Cadets
Baird, Barnes and Fleckinger, the committee
say that any slight punishment will have the
effect to aggrayatc the evil instead of proving a
remedy. -Four years ago part of the first class
took an innocent cadet into their own hands
and branded 3" thief" upon him and drummed
him from the Point. There was an investiga.
tion Of the offence, and they were tried by
court martial, convicted and dismissed but
on application to the authorities at Washing
ton the sentence was RENTED, and the recent
outrage must be regarded as in part the fruit
of the clemeucy then shown.
The report concludes with resolutions di.
rec;ing the restoration Of Cadets Baird,
Barnes and Fleckinger on the LIST of June
next, the immediate dismissal Of the leaders
aud ringleaders in the affairs of January g.,
and the trial of the other members of the first
class who participated in it.

In all the novels, when women are al

lures that man can take under his arm and
carry off anywhere but man who has 10.
yestigated the matter says, you take the light
est girl Of your acquaintance, throw her over
your shoulder, and undertake to elope with
her, and you will think she is made Of pig
iron, while the romantic stories about carry

1t would take at least three men to elope
with one girl, if she was anything Of

An important decision has Just been rem.
dered in Cincinnati. In late case it was held
that where persons give local reporters items
for publication which prove to be untrue aud
libelous, the informer Is liable. This will de.
ter many eyil-minded persons from using the
papers as a conduit for their venom. Az.
grieyed persons may bring their actions against
the intormer, instead Of the papers, and thus
punish the really guilty parties. There is
good common sense in that kind Of law.

The number of failures in business du.
ring the year 1870, in the United States, is
reported to have been 1851, and the amount
Of liabilities sss,242,O0O The liabilities of
parties falling in New York city aud Brook
lyn amounted to over twenty millions of dol.
lars. The liabilities were considerably in ex-
cess of those for either of the two preceding
years, but were eight millions less than those
for 1867. The great causes Of the failures is
the disposition to oyertrade, the excess in
proportion Of persons engaged in selling over
the number OF buyers, the small profits to
dealers, their large expenses and the general
extravaganza of the community resulting from
the credit system.
