COPS LOVE, NOT MlNE.-Some
years ugo two gentlemen were riding
together, and, as they were about to
separate, one addressed tho other thus
" Do you ever read your Bible 2" Eyes,
but l get no benefit from it, because, to
tell the TRUTH feel I do not love God"
" Neither did T." replied the other,
l." but God loved me-" This answer
produced such an effect upon his friend,
that, to use his own words, it was as if
one had lifted him off tho saddle into
the skies. 1t opened up TO his soul at
once, the great truth that it is not how
much I Low. God, but how much God
loves me.

pledges himself to accept that theory ia
its true spirit aud to abide by it in hi.

Suppose, as a result of this, that Con
gress should enact free trade Mr.
Greeley, As President, must have taken
an oath to support the Constitution and
execute the laws according to the bee'
Of his judgment and ability. Tho Con.
s';tution, as safeguard against hasty

upon the President the veto power
Profoundly Of the belief that free
trade will destroy our manufactures
and impoverish our treasury and pau
perizc the great mass Of our lsborers
and thus entail destruction itself upon

n,its to tho infection Of 30 dire 4 crlam

USEFUL PRovERBs.-Always tell
the truth you will find it easier than
lying. He who gives triae meanly,
is far mcaner than the trifle. Men
looking at the faults Of women should
shut their eyes. If we seize hastily We
may have to drop as haetily. Expe-
rience is torch lighted in the ashes Of
our decisions. Better be upright with
poverty than wicked with plenty. He
who laughs at cruelty sets his heel on
the neck OF religion. Time never sits
heavily upon US but when it is badly
employed. Whatever you dislike in
another take care to correct it yourself
Resolve to perform what you ought,
and perform what you resolve.
