TEMPERAMENT CONGRESS.

Mr.. Senator Wilson gave tenn
pcrancc lecture in Boston, last Sun
day evening, worth noticing, be-
cause he said that in Congress du.
ring the last seventeen years he had
found that the members who used
alcohol were invariably the first to
be Frustrated by protrac,ed work.
in my experience" he said, "while
Chairman Of the Committee on Mil
itary Affairs, always found that the
men to be relied on were the men
that drank not at ALL" However,
Mr.. Wilson thought there were few
er drinking men in Congress now
than when he first went to it. For
merly the night sessions were dread
ed on account of the debauchery to
which they gave rise. Now. about
one quarter of the Senators are
pledged temperance men, and there
is not what may be called "a hard
drinker" in the Senate at all. The
facts are about the same in the
House of Representatives. Once
the departments were full of drunk
en- men, now they are the excep-
tons. Coming from a source to be
relied upon these are interesting
and cheering facts.

SPEAK KINDLY.

Speak kindly in the morning, it
ligh,ens the cares of the day, and
makes household and all other af-
fairs move along more smoothly.
Speak kindly at night, for it may
be that before the dawn some loved
one may finish his or her space OF
life for this world, and it will be too
late to ask forgiveness.
Speak kindly at all times, it en-.
courages the downcast, cheers the
sorrowing, and very likely awakens
the erring to earnest resolves to do
better, with strength to keep them.
Kind words are balm to the soul
They oil the entire machinery life
and keep it good running oder.

GREELEY.

Hon. Edwards Pierrepont is one of the
great men of New York. He is, or was,
Grants District Attorney. 10 is a sup
porter Of Grant, and made a speech for him
in Cooper Institute, Wednesday evening, Of
last week, 10 which no said
~ would not detracl from Mr.. Greeley's
justly learned reput tion-he has immense
industry ard a powerful pen, which he has
aitcays used on the side Of humanity. He
is a true hdter Of oppression and Of prirt-

of appreciation, the spring of his great am oil

writer, always in sympathy with liberal prin-
ciples."
If anything would shame the hbellers Of
this great man the words of Pierrepont ought

Charles O'Conor, in ms letter declining
the nomination thrust upon him by tbs

words in regard to Horace Greeley:

Dear sir:-Ny brother who is now in hia l4th
year, has been subject to epilepsy or ITS from
childhood. The spasms would invariably occur
during the night, and our local physician here
could do nothing to help him save prescribing
Bromide of Potassium, which would afford only
atemPorary relief, He was gradually bat surely
becoming insane, and in this condition We pro-
cured your restorative assimulant, herbal ONT
meat and pills, and used as directed, and but
short time elapsed before the spasms entirely
ceased, his in telleet grew brighter, and in short
was entirely restored to perfect health. Yo'
may use this testimonial as yoa may deem
proper, as what have said are facts.
Respectfully yours.
