A German Paper ON the SItuatian.

The Louisville Halksblah says
'Since the Republic war founded, no
President has been more unjustly at
tackled than Gen, Grant. The most i'm
portant of these attacks, so far at least
as we Germans are concerned was with re-
gard to the sale of arms. Every day there
is new evidence to show how untrue
and false the whole charge is. To find
a willing ear and make capital among
the Germans in the first moment of
excitment was comparatively easy, and
had the thing been sprung just before an
eletion, it might have produced mischief
More almost than any other people, We
Germans have love for the fatherland
but we will not suffer ourselves to be
deceived for any length of time. The
second sober thought is never long in
coming. and no man has yet succeeded
in fooling the mass of our countrymen
for any great length of time. Up to
this time no evidence has been brought
to show that any officer was corrupt, or
that blame attaches to Grant for the
sale of arms. It is in this sense that
Horace Greeley, one of the most violent
opponents Of Grant, has declared him
self, and even Schurz said a year ago
that he was convinced Of the innocence
of the President. IF we further consider
the fact that the tradition of the history
of the United States would have made
sympathy with France very natural but
that, instead of this, cry of indignation
resounded through the land when the
overbearing tyrant on the French throne
threw down the gauntlet to the German
people, and that only Democratic, now
Liberal papers had anything to say in
justification of the usurper, while the
Republicans every rywhere took sides with

The opponents of the administration
under the circumstances, are playing a
very poor role. The most prominent
leaders of the liberals. as Horace Greely,
Gratz Brown and Governor Palmer are
temperanceists of the purest water.
and yet they count on the support of the
Germans. Greely who has all his life
been protectionist, gets to be uufaithful
to all his traditions; he gets to be a
renegade to every thing for which, up
to this time, he has lived. written and

A Prophecy.

From Hon. T. o. Hovss speech on Civil SerTic'
Reform.
Not even the Senator from Missouri,
Mr.. Schurz with all his rare gifts,
has even approached the hight of that
wonderful popularity which for time
buoyed up Titus Oates. Multitudes
uncovered their heads in the streets
whenever he appeared. A large pension
was voted him by Parliament. rooms
in the palace of Whitehall were prepared
for his occupation. But for the very
perjuries which secured to Titus Oates
these unusual honers he was afte-ward
compelled to stand in the pillory and to
be whipped at the carts tail.

of Greeley. for fusion once made there

millions of debt and one hundred aud Fifty
millions of taxation have melted from the

permanent effect here. The question of

Thompson, Buchanan thieviug Secre-

Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, also
urges Democratic endorsement of Gree

cord will carry the South for him. 9th
er Democrats also urge the Greeley's en-
dorsement, while still others, equally
prominent, oppose it, urging that the

SELFHOOD.
No. 3.-Self Control.
BY J. s. ANDERSON.

Not alone is it necessary to know ones
self and to respect ones self. 1t is also
most needful to rule ones self. to possess
the mastery of ones spirit. This life is
not peaceful river, down which we may
float unconcernedly and in case; but
rather O boisterous sea, whose every
wave threatens TO bear down our frail
vessels. There is deep wisdom in this
provision. 1t calls out the best, most
sublime quail lies Of our manhood.
1t is beautiful and grand to see noble
ship wrestling with a stormy sea. 1t
thrills the soul with a strange emotion,
whether we see it bending beneath the
pressure of the close reefed sails. or leap
ing wildly aboye the waves, firmly held
by the steadfast anchor Yet it is far
more sublime spectacle to witness brave
man nobly struggling with the storms OF
life. with the roaring winds of outward
circumstances, OF the surges Of inward
passion.
Do you see man cool when passion is
raging around him, when the mob are
bowling like demons, when rage and fan.
atheism have overpowered the cooler judg-
ment. Mark that man well. He will
tower above his fellows; ne will make a
leader.
The wisest man that ever lived said !:
''IIe that is slow to anger is better than
the mighty. and he that ruleth his spirit
than he that taketh city" The grand
est of all conflicts are fought by a man
himself, in himself and for himself. The
fercest battle-felds lie iE the domain of
the human mind for the powers that
clash together there are infinite.

Our anger is quicker than our iudg-
ment, and our impulses swifter than our
reasoning powers. Under its influence
we do acts which are source of life-lon
regret. All we can do is blythe power
of our will to arrest its progress until
sober reason comes to the rescue. He
that can do this is greater than any of
the victors of Earth. He is the master
Of circumstances by being master of him
self.
The doctrine of self control is one of
the grand differences between the ancient
heather philosophy and the modern chris
tian philosophy. The loading idea cf
the ancient ascetics was that a man
should rise above all passion, that he
should be equally insens: bic to all the
emotions Of rage and fesr, love and hate,
JOY and sorrow. Their idea Of a perfect
man was, that he should resemble q lofty
column on which the rays of the summers
sun, or the SHOWS of winter fall alike
uaheeded, which cares not whether the
gentle zephyrs touch it lightly or the
storm wind dashes bowling against it.
They sought to crush out the God
given forces of mind by the power of will.
We seek to guide and control them by
the same power. Every uncontrolled
force will make a man wreck, while the
same force under control will guide him
to greatness. Is man combatiye? Let
him not spend that force in unseemly
brawls. Let him grapple with the stern
problems that lie everywhere around
him, and that same force will make itself
manifest in his conflict with them.
The true end and aim of all education
is self control. He who can command
himself, who can bend his intellectual
powers to his will, whose decision is great
er than his inclination, can scarcely fail
OF making a successful man. What
aVaiis all the knowledge we may learn In
books if we do not have it at our com
mand, if we do not master our mental
powers, SO that we may labor with them
when We will and ho,o We will.
1t is to this end that we labor in
schools, colleges and universities. Tasks
are allotted to be performed at allotted
times, and it does not always happen
that inclination and duty go hand in hand.
Then comes the struggle. Shall we yield
to selfish desire of ease, or shall we con-
quer it and make it subservicnt to our
will at the call of duty? just in propor-
ton as we conquer in these conflicts of
self Will our real progress be. We go to
these places not wholly to learn, but to
learn how to learn. Let us study books,
make ourselves marters of all that is in
them, but let each ask and answer Alright
these questions:
"Shall 1 be slave to every noble soul7
Study the dead and to their wishes bendi
Or learn to read my own hearts folded scroll,
And make self rule my end,
Thought from without O, shall take on trust
And lives from othors modelled steal or win,
Or bring to light and clear from rust
My true life from within 2"
Study yourself that you may know
what manner of man you are. Esteem
yourself that you may take the position
that belongs to you by the patent of Ma
lures nobility. Central yourself that you
may master circums tances and powers.
"Be to thine own self true,
And it shall follow as the night tho day,
Thou ean'st not then be wrong to any.
