upon his brow, and he stopped be-
meath his burden of wealth. We were
speaking OF that period Of life when
we had realized the most perfect en-

to work, leaving my mother and sis

On Monday evening, when the labors
OF the day were done, / went not to

Sense shines with q double luster
when it is set in humanity. An able
yet humble man is jewel worth a
kingdom.
Base all your actions upon prin,
ciple of right; preserve your integri-
ty of character, and in doing this
never reckon the cost.
Sincerity is to speak as we think,
to do as we pretend and profess, to
perform and make good what we
promise, and really to be what we
would seem and appear to be.
A man who has no enemies ought
to have very faithful friends, and one
who has such friends ought not to
think it n calamity that he has enc
mics to be his efloctual monitors.
The socrot Of happiness is con
ccalod in appreciative content If
7ou cannot have what you would
like, try to like what you have.
1t will afford swoetcr happiness in
the hour OF death to have wiped one
tear from the cheek of sorrow than
to have ruled an empire, to have con-
quered millions, or to have cnslayed
the world.
A philosopher says that the true
secret OF earthly happiness is to en-
| joy pleasures us they arse; for that
man who can keep his eye upon the
bright present, while it is bright,
tastes the cup OF sweetness prepared.
Nature is the only workman to
whom no material is worthless, the
only chemist in whose laboratory
there are no waste products, and the
only artist whose compositions are
inhnitely y varied, and whose feuility
of invention is inexhaustible
Profanity never did any man the
least good. No man is the richer,
or happier, or wiser for it. 1t com
mends no one in any society. 1t is
disgusting to the refined, abomina-
bic to tho good, insulting to those
with whom we associate, degrading
to the mind, unproiitablo, needless
and injurious.
Brethren, we are MI sailing home;
by and by, when we are not think
ing Of it, some shadowy thing (men

How to Live.

The mere lapse of years is not lifc.
To cat, and drink, and sleep-to be
exposed to darkness and li9ht-to
pace round in tho mill of habit, and
turn thought into an implement of
trade this is not life. In all this
but poor fraction OF the conscious
ness of humanity is awakened, and
the sauctities still slumber, which
make it worth while to be. Know
ledge, truth, love, beauty goodness,
faith, alone can give vitality to the
mechanism of existence.

Mr. BEEcHER on THE SINGLE TERN Doc
rRISE-In ,ober earnest, we think thst there
wa, never so much sbsurdity and ignorance
compressed in an equal space as in this proposal
TO cure the evils OF ambition incident to high
Office by prescribing Single Term. 1t will
take away from the people the power of re-elect-
ing good officer if they with, without taking
away particle of the power of bad officer to
use his position for the furthersnce Of personal
ambition. Kings, who hold Office for life, and
cannot be reelected, are prone to shape their
policy for the succession Of their heir or ia
vorite.
one-term president will want successful
administration. ShreHd leaders will say,
We will secure to you all that you want dur
ing your term ifyou will play into our hands
for our candidate A single term may prevent
/. president from intriguing for himself, but it
will not prevent his intriguing for his fsvoritei.
1t is a remedy that leaves the disease where
it found it 1t does not diminish the tempts-
tons of ambition, nor restrain its power, nor
even change its methods. Christian Union.
