+ lad who, at the age of fourteen, was ap-
prenticed to soap boiler. One of his
resolutions was to read one hour day,
or at least at that rate, and he had an
old silver watch, left lin by his uncle
which he timed his reading by. lie
stayed seven years with his master, ard
said when he was twenty ore he knew
as much as the young squire dii. Now
let US see how much time he had to read
in, in seven years, at the rate Of an hour
each day 1t would be two thousand
five hundred and ffty-fve hours, which
a, the rate of eight reading hours per
day, would be equal to three hundred and
ten days; almost to an entire years
reading. That 'ime spent in treasurinG

very large store. am sure i; is worth

back upon the task as the most pleasant
and the most profitable you ever per-

Good Sense.

1t will preserve us from censorious
ness it will lead us to distinguish cir.
cumstances; keep us from looking after
visionary perfection. and make us zee
things in their proper light. 1t will
lead us to study dispositions, peculiari
ties, accommodations to weigh conse
quences; to determine what to observe
and what to pass by; when to be i'm
movable, aed when to yield. 1t will
produce good manners, keep Us from
taking freedoms, and handling things
roughly; will never agitate claims ol
superiority, but teach us to submit our
selves one to another. Good sense will
lead persons to regard their own duties
rather than to recommend those Of
offers.

PROF. CUNNING has been talking
geology at Lockport, N Y. He has
made special study of Niagra Falls
According to his observation it recedes
at the rate of six inches each year, at
which rate the cataract may wear away
the soft rock up to Buffalo in about 232,-
$50 years, and drain Lake Erie so as to
leave Cleveland and Toledo far from the
stream, to which the lake will then
shrink. lie thinks, owing to certain
hard strata the stream has had to wear
in its progress up from Lake. Ontario
that it has taken 100000 years. Those
who would see the cataract in its majes-
tic beauty should not delay their visit
too long.

Poetry.
How Softly on the Bruised Heart.

How softly on the bruised heart
word of kindness falls,
And to the dry and parched soul
The mois;ening tear drop calls;
Oh, if they knew who walked the earth
Mid sorrow, grief and pain,
The power a word of kindness hath,
'Twcre paradise again.
The weakest and the poorest may
The simple pittance give,
And bid delight to withered hearts,
Return again and live;
Oh, what is life If love be lost?
If mans unkind to man,
On, what the heaven that waits beyond,
This brief and mortal span?
As stars upon the tranquil sea
In mimic glory shine,
So words of kindness in the heart
Reflect the source divine;
Oh. then be kind whoe'e thcu art,
That breaihest mortal breath,
And it shah brighten all thy life,
Aud sweeten even death.

the duty of our Government to guard
with jealous care the rights of adopted
citizens against the assumption Of unau-
thorzed claim of their former Govern
ments and we urge continual careful
protection and encouragement and Pre-
lection of voluntary immigration.
o The franking privilege ought to be
abolished and the way prepared for a
speedy reduction of the rates of postaga.
10. Among the questions which press
for attention is that which concerns the
relations between capital and labor, and
the Republican party recognize the duty
of so shaping legislation as to secnre full
protection ana the amplest field for capi
tai, and for labor, The creator of capital
the largest opportunities and just share
of mutual profits of these two great SER
wants of civilization.
IL We hold that Congress and the
President have only fulfilled an impera
tive duty in their measures for the sup
preston of violent and reasonable Or
CARNATIONS in certain lately rebellious
regions. and for the protection of the
ballot box. and iharsfosa th~y ore -,'i'i~'s
to the thanks of the nation.
l2 We denounce reputation of the
public debt, in any form or disguise, as a
national crime We witness with pride
the reduction of the principal Of the debt
and the rates of interest upon the bal
ance and confidently expect that our
excellent national currency will be per-
fected by speedy resumption of specie
payment.
Is. The Republican party is mindful
of its obligations to the loyal women Of
America for their noble devotion to the
cause of freedom. Their admission to
wider fields of usefulness is viewed with
satisfaction, and the honest demands Of
any class of citizens should be treated
with respectful consideration. ,
16 We heartily approve the action of
Congress in extending amnesty to those
lately in rebellion, and rejoice in the
growth of peace and fraternal feeling
throughout the land
Is The Republican party proposes to
respect the rights reserved by .he people
to themselves as carefully as the powers
delegated by them to the State and to
the Federal Government. 1t disapproves
of the resort to unconstitutional laws for
the purpose of removing evils, by inter-
ference with rights not surrendered by
the people to either the State or National
Government.
1G. 1t is the duty of the Federal Gov
erEment to adopt such measures as may
best tend to encourage and restore Amer
lean commerce and shipbuilding.
IT, We believe that the modest patri.
ollsm, the earnest purpose, the sound
judgment. the practical wisdom, the in
corruptible integrity, and the illustrious
services of Ulysses s Grant have COM
mended him to the heart of the Ameri-
can people; and with him at our head
we start to-day upon a new march of
victory.
After the reading of the platform-tho
section of which relating to the loyal
women of America excited great applause
and laughter-Gen Burnside rose and
said i move for the adoption Of tbs
platform as whole.
The motion was put and unanimously
carried.

don special says On Thursday the Alabama
negotiations were ended and all efforts to secure
an agreement of the governments on the sup
Elementary article were definitely relinquls1hed.
Today the negotiations were reopened on
the mart of the British government, which
gives color to the suppostion that it has recon
sidered its determination not to accept the
Senate's amendments to the supplementary
article. The point of the present difficulty IS
absence from the article of any. words which
can he held as defining the indirect claims
Ea,nre to declare what class Of Claims is de-
seuated by the term indirect, it is thought
would be likely to lead to the Introduction,
under the head of direct claims OF claims
which England would deem inadmisslble.
