WIN AND WEAR.

There's no royal road TO greatness; ::
Men must ever climb to fame;
All the wealth in misers' Golfers
Wouldn't buy = deathless name.
Is neble goal before you1
Would yop great achievements bear7
Brothers, then be up and doinel
Brothers, you must "Win and Wear.
Toll and labor-never stopping
Till you make the prize your own;
For You know 'tis constant dropping
Wears away the hardest stone.
Neyer 1aek sublime endeavor;
Nor mid eheeeless toll despair;
# you'd rise above your fellows,
Brothers, you must ''Win and Wear"
'Tis the lesson nature teaches
All throughout her wide domain;
And the text from which she breaches
Is that Labor leads to Gain"
Moral worth and honest merit
Better crowns than monarchs bear
These you never can inherit

How 10 make Yourself Unhappy.

In the first place. if you want to
make yourself miserable, be sefsh.
Think oil the time Of yourself and
your things. Don't care about
anything else. Have no feelings
for any one but yourself: Never
think of enjoying the satisfaction of
seeing others happy but rather If
you see a smiling face bo jealous lest
another should enjoy what you have
not. Envy every one who is better
off in any respect than yourself;
think unkindly toward them and
speak lightly Of them. Be con-;
stantly afraid lest some one should
encroach upon your rights; be
watchful against it, and if any one
comes near your things snap at him.
like mad dog. Contend earnestly
for everything that is your own,
though it. may not be worth a pin;
for your rights are just as much
concerned as il it were a pound of
gold. Never yield a point. Be very
sensitive and take everything that
is said TO you in playfulness in the
most serious manner. Be jealous
of your friends, lest they should not
think enough of you; and # any
time they should seem. to neglect
you, put the worst construction
upon their conduct you can.

DEATH or JOIN Cousins, EsQ.

i Resolutions of the Board of Trus
tees of Wilberforce University pass
ed October 18th, 1872, touching tn
death of Mr.. John Cousins:
| Whereas, It has pleased Almight,
God to remove from. this sphere Of &C
ton, Brother John Cousins, who at th.
time of bis death was Chairman of th.
Executive Committee of Wilberforct
University,
And whereas, Our brother has beer
an arluous and successful agent fo1
several years and continued as such up
to his last illuess, therefore,
Be it resolved, That we offer ou1
sincere coincidence to the widow and
relatives of the deceased, with the be.
lief that Brother Cousins is now en-.
joying the Saints Everlasting Rest,
and this opinion is based not only
upon the general conduct Of the de-
ceased, but upon the clear and sati
factory testimony which he left upon
his dying bed.
Resolved, -Thata copy of these reso.
lutions be sent to the widow of the de-
ceased, and also to the Christian, Recor-
der for publication.
Resolved, That the members of this
board are requested to wear q badge
of respect for the deceased, for thirty
days.
JAMES WARING,
Chairman.
J. A. CLARK, Secretary.
The death of Mr.. John Cousins
is chronicled upon another page.
Where or when the sad event took
place we are not informed. The
deceased was remarkable man; of
singular modesty, yet of the most
indomitable perseverance. He
never knew what it was to let 20.
We can say Of him what Bellows
says of Wesley:
"Wesley was not afraid of anything.
Pluck was inborn. He never showed
the white feather. If he had been
soldier or prize-fghter he could not
have been calmer in danger or less
afraid in any Odds"
And yet all this courage Of soul
was held in allegiance to DISPOSE
ton childike and simple. In truth
may we say, that his like will not
be seen again-soon. Lamented
by all who knew him, he will be
especially lamented by the officers
Of Wilberforce. In no small sense,
he was it's physical stay and staff:
AS the resolutions of the trustee
board say, be was q "successful
agent" His life tersely and briefly
told, would be a real benefit to our
people. Can t it be got up? It is
too bad the way We are letting time
blow away the sweet fragrance Of
our glorious dead, Of whom none
were more glorious than the toiling
John Cousins. May he have the
sweet rest, that ever follows a labo-
liously good Gfe.-Christian Recor-
der,

News From Washington.

Washington, 2G. Secretary Boutwell, in a
letter to-day to Collector Arthur of New
FORK says: 81 laid your letter of 23d inst, be-
fore the President and I am authorized to say
that he approves the main features of your
plan for the storage of general order goods
at the port of New York. The change should
be made with as little delay as the nature of
the case will permit. In the registrations of
the general order business political influence
and personal interests should be set aside.
Having first made the rights of the govern.
ment secure it is the Presidents wish the
work be so arranged and conducted as to
give the largest facilities to merchants with
the least possible cost. The details of the
organization must be left to your judgment.
The Collectors letter proposes to divide the
water front of the city into districts, making
four or more upon the North river and Ave
upon the East river, and to designate one
warehouse of class three in each district, tu
which all goods removed under general or
der from vessels landing within the district
shall be sent. Also to designate twenty-slx
or more similar warehouses in Brooklyn and
one at Hunters Point to permit the several
steamship companies to select any class;
three stores located in the district in which
their ships land as a warehouse for the stor-
age of unclaimed goods arriving by their ves-
sells, subject however, to the single condition
that neither the steamship company nor any
person connected with it shall have any in
terest in it or control over the warehouse so
designated. The Collector says: By this
sys stem warehouses in all cases will be pro-
vided within a short distance Of the place of
landing goods, expense of carriage be re-
duced all danger of crowding and confusion
be avoided and the wishes of the steamship
companies will be consulted so far as is con-
sistent with the interests of this government.
Three weeks will probably elapse before
the New Orleans special committee will make
their report
Senator Davis having partially recovered
from his illness will leave for home Wednes-
day.

1t was semi-officially announced ON the
arrival of Earl Granville's despatch last

drafted, would be submitted to the Cabinet
for it's approval on Friday, and then trans

of Charles Francis Adams changed the as
