The Motive.

You cannot serve two masters-you
mast serve one or other. If your work
is first with you, aud your fee second,
work is your master, aud the Lord of
work, who is God. But if your
fee is first with you, and your work
second, fee is your master, and the lord
of the fee, who is the devil, and
not only the devil but the
lowest of devils-"the least erected
fend that fell" So there you have it in
brief terms--work first, you are Gods
servants; fee first, you are the fend's.
And it makes a difference, now and
ever, believe me, whether you serve
him who has on his vesture and thigh
written, "King of kings" and whose
service is perfect freedom; or him on
whose vesture and thigh the name il
written, "Slave of slaves" and whose
service is perfect slavery [Ruskin.

Pleasure ana Piety.

There is no single pleasure that
manly man ought TO love the flavor of,
which is not permissible to Christian.
There is not thing which Christian
may not have which every young man
ought not to be ashamed to take. Piety
does not shut up the avenues of enjoy
ment. True virtue makes every enjoy
ing faculty more sensitive to joy. |
repudiate and repel with scorn the i'm
putation that when a man is child of
God, aud is at peace with all Gods
laws in material things, social things.
and moral things, he is shut up. He
is entranchised rather. He is enlarged
He is ennoblcd. There is more music
in him, in every single chord and fac
ulty, than there can be in any other
There is no man so free, there is nc
man who has a range so boundless, as
the mar who is at peace with God
And yet there are multitudes of per
sous who suppose that there are peculiar
pleasures which cannot be reaped ex
cept by reprobate course. Ther'
never was any greater mistake thar

" the brief period of the legislative session
with deeds of blood and carry their lawless vi
4" o,cnce with insulting defiance to the very doors
"of our legislative halls" From the same State
comes she disgraceful intelligence that tho
Government has been forced to discontinue
the mail route between Frankfort and Louis
vile on account of tho incessant outrages
committed by the Ku-Klux upon the carriers
Is the war over, when the Government is
poweress to protect its communications be-
tween the capital and the commercial metrop-
oils of great central Statef
This is condition of things which cannot
be suffered to continue. The evil is present
and crying one. 1t is a scandal which lowers
the national character in our own eyes and
saps the national self-respect. When the
whole country sees the infamy and shame of
it, it will not do for Congress TO pass it by
with languid indifference or apathetic mag
nanimity. These offenses against life and
property are not political demonstrations
which generous opponent might overlook
and pardon. They are crimes like those OF
the pirate and the highwayman, more scandal
GUS and dangerous because organized and
prepared, and based upon sinister sym
pathy among large class of the population.
1t is not for us TO suggest the proper remedy.
We leave that to Congress- But something
must be done, and done promptly, for the
State Courts have shown their incapacty and
indspostiOn in many cases to deal with the
thony question, and meanwhile the public
mind is settling in the South into the cOnyc-
nient belief that there is little harm in killing
a negro or Yankee, and the fatal and poison
GUS impression is getting fixed i'll the fancy of
the young that it is safer to be robber and
murderer than it is to be q lawabiding citizen
or, say, U. S. Mail Agent.
We say these things with deep regret. Our
fellow citizens will bear witness 10 the earnest
and persistent efforts we have made TO bring
about the peaceful close of all our discussions
Ivy the adoption of the related principles OF
Impartial Suffrage and Universal Amnesty.
We reafirm our devotion to that benehcent
scheme. But we assert that no truce can be
held with riot and Iapine and in the interest
of the distressed and harassed South, no less
than in behalf of our insultcd and endangered
national repute, we call upon Congress to re-
main in session till it shall have adopted some
means to teach the outlaws who are waging
one-sided war against the weak and defense
less that treason and murder are the COstliest
of games.
