STABILITY.

There is sometimes -many times,
may be, a pretentious complaint about
rotation in Office, as though each man
had a claim to be adjusted, or was en-
titled. by some established rule, to a
position somewhere. Hence the hue
and cry for change "anythiug for a
change"
On the ether hand the wisest and
most prudent men in the world depre.
cate too frequent change as being
dangerous in the acknowledgements to
liberty, and dangerous alike to social
and financial prosperity. And who
among us to-day doubts the effect of the
late election upon ourselves, and upon
other nations? Who among us does
not feel that there is more stability in
our government, and in our institutions
than he ever before felt? And who
among us is not thankful for the fact
that greater stability characterizes
America to-day than ever before?
But this ia not all. We have a rep.
utation abroad as we'll as at home, and
too frequent changes at home create
suspicion abroad. We can scarcely es-
innate the amount of evil to our nation
which would have arisen from a change
in our national government We must
have and maintain settled policy
financially and otherwise, if we would
secure and hold the confidence of for.
eign nations, of foreign statesmen, for.
eign philanthropists and foreign capt
talists. Confidence must be inspired
everywhere, in. our stability as ma.
ton, by the result Of the late election.

the DISCOVERY or COFFEE.

Toward the middle of the fifteenth
century, poor Arab was travelling
through Abyssinia and finding himself
weak and weary from fatigue, he stop
ped near grove. Then, being in
want Of fuel to cook his rice, he cut a
tree which happened to be covered
with dead berries. His meal being
cooked and eaten, the traveller discovered
that the half burned berries were frag-
rant. He collected a number of these,
and on crushing them with stone he
found their aroma increased to great
extent. While wondering at this he
accidentally let fall the substance in .
can which contained his scanty supply
of water Lo, what miracle! The al
most putrid liquid was instantly puri-
fed. He brought it to his lips; it was
fresh and agreeable. In a moment
after, the traveller had so far recovered
strength and energy as to be able to re-
sumo his journey. The lucky Arab
gathered as many berries as he could,
aud having arrived at Alden, in Arabia,
he informed the multi of his discovery.
That worthy divine was an iuveterate
opium smoker, who had been suffering
for years from the influence of that
poisonous drug. lie tried an infusion
Of the roasted berries, and was delight
ed with the recovery of his own vigor
that in gratitude to the tree he called it
cahuah, which in Arabic signifies force.

The Beecher.-TiltOn Scandal

The latest sensation-save the elec-
ton in New York, is what purports to
be "the detailed statement of the whole
matter, by Mrs Woodruff" published
in Woodruff d Clatains' Weekly, of Nov.
2. This statement contains u charge
Of intimacy between Henry Ward
Beecher and Mrs. Theodore Tilton.
This statement has thrown New York
and Brooklin into blaze of excitement,
and Mrs. Woodruff and Miss Claflin
into Jail. 1t is the most astounding
statement" and the most remarkable
ono that ever was published in Ameri-
ca, or perhaps in the Known world.
Mrs. Woodruff says that she intends
that this statement shall "burst like a
bomb shell" into certain ranks, and we
confidently believe it has. It is a
"stupendous Scandal scandal
which shocks the moral sense Of the
whole world, though it has no appear
ance Of truth in it, when we consider
the source whence it originate d, and
the parties it involves.
But we have neither time or space
to review it in this issue nor do VIC
suppose it is worthy our attention. We
shall wait further developments, and
report progress from time to time, if
the war goes on. 30 far it is vigorous,
unrelcnting and cruel.

Monday afternoon about four o'clock
He had been sick for some days with

more occasion than another for such

twelve months have enjoyed exemption
from any grevious or general calamity
and to whom prosperity in agriculture,
manufactures and commerce has been
vouchsafted; for these considerations, !

Mr.. p. A. Montgomery special agent
Of the Chicago Life Insurance Com

plete Local Board that was started

Insurance had better see him, as the
company he represents offers greater
inducements to policy holders than any
other company. 1t gives each policy
holder as good chance as other COM
panies give their agents. The Chicago
Life is possessed of all the elements of
success. All Of its transactions are on
the cash system. (No premium notes
or loans to bother policy holders as
there are in some companies.) All of
its policies are non forteiting. The
Chicago Life has one dollar aud twenty
six cents deposited with the State of
Illinois for each and every dollar of its
liabilities; it has declared and paid its
policy holders . handsome dividend
each year of its existence. If all were
insured, poverty in its most degrading
forms, would be unknown, vice would
diminish, and the tide of sorrow be as
suaged. Nor is it alone in these re.
spects that Life Insurance should be
encouraged. 1t not only prevents evils,
but furnishes positive means for refined
comforts, adding to human happiness,
and assisting the individual and nation
to a higher civilization
Mr.. Geo. p. Bracket has accepted
an appointment as Resident Agent of
