Never be wounded by trifes. If
a spider breaks his thread twenty
times he viii mend it again. Make
up your mind to do a thing, and
you viii do il. Fear not if trouble
comes upon you; keep your spirits
up, though the day be a dark one.
Do You wish to live without
trial? Then you wish to die but
half man-at the best but half
man. Without trial you cannot
guess your own strength. Men do
not learn to swim on a table. They
must go into deep water and buffet
the surges.
In our journey through life, it is
generally better to follow the beat
en- track with which we are familiar,
though circuitous and uneven, than
to risk the anarchy that follows the
attempt to make out and follow
new paths.
The genius of Napoleon was
largely developed in early life, and
his power to sway the fate of ma
tions was never surpassed. But
genius alone is not safe. There
mast be coupled with it a high sense
Of pnopriety in all the relations of
life.
1t is within the power of young
men to be temperate, truthful and
intelligent; and when thus qualified
their influence for good carries with
it potency which the sober words
of declining years have no power to
wield.
In trading, he gets most by his
commodity that can forbear his
money the longest; so does the
Christian, that can with most pa
thence stay for a return'of his pray
or. Such soul shall never be
ashamed of its waiting.
If once like Hezekiah) we call
in spectators to see our treasure,
and grow proud of our gifts and
comforts, then it is high time fol
Sod, if he loves us indeed, to send
some messengers to carry those
away from us which carry our hearts
away from Him.
What can we wish for in an herit
age which is not to be found in God
Would we have large posessions?-

He that endeavors really to NOR

The presence of Gods glory is il

A REMINISCENCE ABOUT RODE
RICK RANDOM HITLER.

Mr.. Roderick Random Butler scarcely
gets clear of one charge before somebody
brings up another to veX him. Thus he
has just emerged from trial on 8 charge
of forgery on the Pension Bureau at
Washington, which appears to have been
the wOrk-the charge, we mean-of Rad
icals in his own district, and now the
Washington Patriot calls up a rather
ugly incident in his career. In its issue
of the lst inst. that paper says:
"Fhe political disabilities of Mr.. II. r.
Butler, who figured so cOnspicuously in
the recent trial for forgery, were removed
in 1865, before his admission to Congress.
lie had not only served in the rebel army,
but, as member of the Legislature of
Tennessee, had carried his zeal for the
'lOst cause SO far as to propose that
the widows of Confederate soldiers should
bc pensiOned by the State. His conversion
10 RadiCalism, of course, covered all
these sins, so that he was forgiven and
received into the choicest communion of
that faith. BY referring TO the Interior
Department, and perhaps others, it will
be found that this same Mr. Butler took
the iron-Clad oath on the 9th of July,
1854, when he was acting as an agent for
the prosecution of claims If he was 3
loyal citizen at that time, competent to
take the oath, how came he to have disa-
biities to remove in 1868? If he had
disabilities which Congress alone could re-
Iieve, and did discharge only two years age,
how did t happen that he could take the
iron clad in 1864? Perhaps his worthy
namesake from Massachusetts viii answer
these questions, and if he is not able to 90

The Butler family appear TO be getting
into hot water continually. Tennessee
Butler has just got out of an ugly looking
scrape, the second within brief period.
Massachusetts Butler is scarcely ever
clear of crimes imputed to him that
would consign almost any other man to
the penitentiary. And now comes Gov.
Butler, of Nebraska, who can justly lay
claim to being a model Radical official.
A resolution was recently passed by the
Legislature of Nebraska, asking Gov.
Butler what disposition he made of sew
enteen thousand dollars of State funds,
which came into his hands. In reply to
the resolution, Gov. Butler answered that
he had deposited the amount in the State
Treasury. Another resolution was then
passed by the House, requesting the
Auditor and Treasurer to state why this
amount was not credited to the State.
Replies were received from them that
this money was never received in the
State Treasury. A committee was then
appointed to request Gov. Butler to ex-
plain the discrepancy between his state
ment and the Auditors statement. The
committee made report that Gov. Butler
claims to have placed the money in the
hands of the Deputy Treasurer, and 10
have subsequently borrowed $15, 900 for
his own use, and to have loaned the bal
ance TO other parties. The other parties
are not named. All the money is still out
of the Sta'e Treasury, nor is there any
prospect of its soon reaching that deposi ,
tory.

TIE Columbia Herald says: 1t is now
understood, we believe, that Judge Field
ing Hurst, United States Revenue Col
lectOr for this district, has been removed
from his office by the administration. We
have had no conversation with Judge
Hurst upon the subject, but We under
stand that he explains his dismissal in
this way: He made no efforts to prosecute
men for holding Office IN his county, who
were under disabilities, because, said he,
nobody else are capable of holding the
offices. The,Eery head and front of his
offending, however, was in refusing 70
pay q black mail tax of 5000, assessed by
the administration to do the dirty work
for the Radical party. HIS opponents
say that the Judge was dismissed because
he did not keep his books straight, and
allowed himself to become five hundred
dollars in arrears This sounds very
strange, as Judge Hurst is reputed to be
a man of large wealth.

FROM the decision of Judge Brown,
sustaining the demurrer, on the part of
the State, to the plea of former
Jeopardy" made by the counsel of Col.
E. NJ. Yerger, indicted, and now on trial
before one of the courts of Mississippi
for manslaughter, in the killing of Col.
Crane, it appears that the military COM
mission which Ames ordered for the pur-
pose of numbering Yerger, under the
forms of military trial, did not make a
verdict In other words, in the Ian
gusge of Judge Brown ''there was no
verdict of acquittsl or conviction, by said
commission" The counsel for Yerger
may be unable to show what the verdict
OF thecommssionw which tried him was, for
the reason, We presume, that they have
never had access to the official Bindings"
in the case; but if they had Gen. Ames
the officer who, in the first instance,
reviewed The record in that case before it
went TO President Grant-on the stand,
they might make him disclose the nature
of that verdict.
