What is Success?

In this, Gods world, with its wild,
whirling eddies and mad foam oceans,
where men and nations perish as if
without law, and judgment for an un-
just thing is sternly delayed, dost
thou think that there is therefore no
justice 1T is what the fool hath said
in his heart. 1t is what the wise, in
all times, we've wise because they de-
MED and knew forever not to be. L
tell thee again there is nothing else
but justice. One strong thing find
here below the just thing-the true
thing. My friend, if thou hadst all the
artillery of Woolwich trundling at thy
back in support of an unjust thing,and
infinite bonfires Visibly waiting ahead
of thee, to blaze centuries long for thy
victory on behalf of it, would advise
thee to call halt, TO fling down thy ba-
ton and say, "In Gods name no! :"
Thy SUGGEST" Poor devil, what will
thy success amount to If the thing is
unjust thou hast not succeeded; no,
not though bonfires blazed from north
to south, and bells rang, and editors
wrote leading articles, and the just
thing lay trampled out of sight to all
mortal eyes, an abolished and annihi-
lated thing. Success In few years
thou wilt be dead and dark-all cold,
eyeless, deaf; no blaze of bonfires,
ding-dong of bells, or leading articles
visible or audible to thee again at ALI
forever. What kind of success is that !?
Carlyle.

est men within it will take upon
themselves the undertaking TO purify
it, and also the responsibility of such
an uprising as Cincinnati was now
witnessing. The party could not be
relied on to any extent orin any man
her, TO correct these abuses and to
wipe ont all the great corruptions, and
as for the old Democratic party it was
powerless to do it as its organization
had largely fallen in the same corrupt
channels in which that of the domi-
nant party had fallen, although it was
true its opportunities had been slim.
Laughter.1 There were only a few
spots here and there worth cultiystiDg,
but they. had power i'll some OF the
great cities and in some localities,
and he submitted it to the decision of
his fellow Democrats here if those
spots had not been well cultivated.
fLaughter. What was wanted of all
honest men and of all parties was.
publication and reformation. What
a Significance was in the word and
as he pronounced it his mind ran back
over the progress of mankind in the
past history of the globe and world,
aud no great thing had ever been done
and no great advance had ever been
made III the science of government,
religion or anything else, except by
the employment of that term REFORM
alton. Men are prone to evil, and if
that were true OF men in their moral
condition and bearing, it was eminent
Ply true of political parties. They
could not be kept in power for any
great length of time, and be brought
into the enjoyment and use of hand
ling amounts of money without rum
ming straight into corruption. and

men.
He honestly believed that if the
dominant party continued in power
they would accomplish our ruin.
When one thought of this, man will
console himself by saying ''Oh, they
will come around bye and bye, and
will right themselves" Somehow or
other there is going TO be some mirac-
ulous intervention. We must pay for
the enjoyment of great blessings. A
man is very foolish man who disre-
CARDS the teachings of history. We
eau haye an illustration and history
of any previous republic to show
what this one is coming to, and what
it is going to accomplish. He knew
of nothing to place us above or be-
oond the ordinary lot of humanity in
this respect, and he thought every
American citizen would do well to
run out the history of the great Re-
publics that have hitherto sprung up
in the world, declined and fallen. The
Dutch Republic of modern times was
vividly portrayed TO the audience, and
the lessons to be drawn therefrom
impressed on those present, who were
urged to take the lesson TO heart, and
compare the steps taken by that Re-
public towards its final downfall with
the rapid strides the Republic of the
United States was making in the
same direction, and which would in
evitably lead to the same result.

Capt. Halls. Wonderful Discov-

In the budget of news just received
from Captain Hall, the Arctic explor-
er, he makes tho remarkable assertion
that, if any habitable hand exists at tho
North Pole, it possesses the most sa-
lubrious climate in the world, and his
only fear is that his crew may have to
encounter, before landing, new and
formidable race of human beings,
The Captain says he hopes to reach
the pole and make explorations this
summer, and return to New York
next September. Southern plants
have been found in the lee, and on
January 18th the limb OF largo birch
tree was picked up. The crew also
saw and followed a whale having In
one of his fins harpoon, such as is
used in the South Pacific. This Is
looked upon as important evidence
that a northwestern passage exists.
