The Silver Rule.

You all know the golden rule: do
unto others as you would wish them to
do unto you" Here is rule which is
almost a part of the golden rule, but
which we will put by itself, and because
of it's value call it the silver rule !:
Think and say all you can Of the good
qualities Of others; forget and keep
silent concerning their bad qualities. |"
You cannot conceive how much such a
course will tighten your own happiness
and raise you in the esteem OF your COM
panions. Did you ever think any more
of q boy or girl because he or she found
fault with others? Never call your
schoolmates or playmates ugly or cross
to their faces nor behind their backs.
If they are ugly or stingy, or cross, it
does not make them better for you to
talk or think about it, while it makes
you love to dwell upon the faults Of
others, and causes your own soul to
grow smaller and become like the foul
bird that prefers carrion for food,
Rather tell all the good you can, and
try to think OF some good quality OF
YOUR mates.

ESPECIALLY at Christmas time which
revereutly be it said. derives a fresh
glory from his labors in the cause Of
humanity, everything relating to
CHARLES DICKENS possesses peculiar in
,erest. A new biography Of the great
novelist has been recently Issued in
England by Mr.. FOSTER, who was one
of his most intimate friends and COM
panions for thirty years previous 10 his
death. In il some facts concerning
DICKENS early history are for the first
time given to the public and it is shown
that many Of the most popular charac'
tiers in his stories and those that have
left most impress upon the popular
heart were drawn from actual life or
represented his own personal history.
His youth was passed in abject poverty
and the adventures of David Copper
field" are tolerably correct account of
his own early experiences, while his
familiarity with the Marshalsea prison,
50 touchingly exhibited in Little Dor
nit" arose from the fact that his father
was long time there prisoner for
debt.

TIE Scorf impeachment case IN
South Carolina has come to temporary
termination, through the sharp practice
of the Governor. Finding that If the
vote were taken on the day fixed for
the adjournment of the Legislature the
impeachment would dedicated, Bowen
and others spoke against time for the
purpose Of laying the matter over until
the next session, and were likely to sue
coed in preventing the vote. ScoTT
then issued proclamation convening
the Legislature in extra session at noon
Of the following day. Bowen aud the
impeaehers were thus checkmated and
the impeachment resolutions amended
by striking out a vital clause. whereuPon
the Governor issued another proclama-
ton revoking the one Of q few hours
before and the Legislature accordingly
adjourned.

The West Virginia C0mmissiOne l

FIOIu tut 4 AIRcISUuI8 SazCttS'l
The West Virginia Commission ers.
The Commissioners appointed ito
ascertain the amount of the debt Of
Virginia payable by West Virginia,
have been in session in this city for the
past week, and we believe have about
concluded their report to the Governor.
Their duties have been intricate and
delicate, and their labors arduous,
being DESTROYS Of ascertaining what was
the just proportion we ought to pay.
On account Of the failure of the old
State to appoint any persons to
act with them, their action is
rather &c parte than final. This
fact has made them particularly
careful to be accurate. They wanted to
be just to our own State-just to their
own reputation, and just to the State OF
Virginia, for which each has great
regard. 1t is 10 be regretted that there
was not Joint Commission OF the two
States to adjust this matter. Although,
we believe, they were empowered to
employ clerk, they have done their
own work. AS we have not seen their
report, and are too polite to inquire
into private matters, we cannot say
what it would be, but, If we are not
much mistaken, it will be found that
they will report to the Governor that
there is very little due from this State
to Virginia, and that those New York
ers who bought Virginia bonds on West
Virginia's credit, will be left with the
bag to hold.

CHRISTMAS.

An observer upon our streets last
Saturday and Saturday night would
have been readily convinced that "the
spirit of Christina" was abroad in the
city. Notwithstanding tie rain and
mud, the streets were thronged until q
late hour with men and women bearing
Christmas warmth in their. hearts, its
light in their eyes, and in their arms
dozens Of packages for the delight of
dear friends and of the little ones at
home. The return of this festival of
the Christian church was never more
warmly welcomed, and we devoutly
trust that it may never be less enjoyed
than now. 1t awakens memories that
soften and lift up the hearts of men and
women and 1t dispose them to be more
charitable and kindly each to the other,
to lay aside at least for a time their
selflshness and hate and envy and all
other evil passions, and catch in some
degree the Divine spirit of Him who
came eighteen hundred years ago
bringing good gifts unto men. 1t is a
time for good cheer. for merry greet
ings upon the streets. for happiness at
home, and for thankfulness of heart to
the Giver of all good things. To old
and young. rich and poor, to the whole
human race. it brings blessing and q
JOY.
In our city the anniversary will be
to-day very generally observed The
Wheeling people have warmth and
kindliness of heart that does them in.
finite credit, and which, although mani.
tested at all seasons of the year, is
never more genial and bene6cent than
during the Christmas holidays. The
true secret of happiness in life consists
in contributing 70 the happiness Of
others, and the custom of bestowing
gifts and pledges Of affection which SO
largely prevails among our people at
this time adds greatly to the zest with
which all classes enjoy the occasion.
II you wish for merry Christmas for
yourself the surest way of obtaining it
is to endeavor to make it happy one
for others. Let this be the rule to-day !;
and We would be happier and the world
better il we would each try to carry in
our hearts during the coming year and
during all our future life some sparks
Of Christmas influence and Christmas
warmth and cheer.

and Presidential Vote

The apportionment bill for the Con-
crosses of the next decade, which has
passed the House of Representatives,
fixes the number of members of that
House at 2S5. The basis for one mem.
Der is 1868. This gives Ohio twenty
members, or gain of one. 1t will
enable Hamilton county to retain her
two members, she having 100000 peo-
pie, or within a small fraction of the
required number. There being thirty
seven States, the Senatorial Representa-
ton to be added to this, in the Electoral
College, is "a. The total number of
Presidential Electors will, therefore, be
