We invite all thoughtful American

Convention; then to consider his atll-

Lincoln's administration, forcing the
army into the field before it was
ready. He begged MI. L1neoln ., 70

slaves. He represented Mr' Lincoln :
action in the Niagara conference IN a
manner which Mr.. Lincoln declared

country And he signed letter to
the Iovsl Governors after Atr. Lincoln
was renominated in 1854, substantial

e,1rriug at moments Of great national
eri0encv, and decide what would
have CHANGED had Horace Greeley
been in the place Of Abarham Lin

IN there Is one quality which is in
dispensable IN a Presiden, it is sound,
Judgment. If there is one public man
who is totally destitute Of it, it Is Hor-

been nominated.

1t is not safe to trifie with the affec-

tiles and if damaged have to be paid
for at runionus rates. An imprudent
but wealthy bachelor Of SO was wont
TO rise al six o'clock in the morning
to walk to the mill with Julia Vallot'
Julia became sick and he gave her
pair Of stout shoes and lent her his
book of mortgages TO read. After
wards he took her to ride and in an
unguarded moment the ardOr OF the
venerable swain led him to make
proposals of. .matrimOny. They were
accepted and when the ancient lover
in his cooler moments desired TO re-
tract and offered dollar to settle with
Julia, he found himself caught In the
gauzy meshes Of Julia's web. A suit
} FOR breach of promise followed, and
$4,000 was allowed by the intelligent
Of the loss jury as the value 20 Julia

The Grmsn Government has de-
vised q scheme that promises to be a
great event in the history of archi-
lecture. It is intended to build a new
House Of Parliament at Berlin, and
the desire is TO make it a model strue-
ture. To that end the architects Of all
nations on the globe are invited to
compete by submitting plans before
the 18th of April next. A prize Of S., :
600 will be paid for the best design
and prizes Of 81, 900 each for the -four

tends the sheep of Peter Filanc, in San
Jacinto Valley, dispatched large noun
tain lion in somewhat novel manner. A
dog belonging to the shepherd got on the
track of lion, and following him up
| forced him to find quarters between two
large rocks. The dog coming to bay,
| the shepherd went UP and found the lion
| as above stated. Taking his long staff,
ne boldly went up to the front of the lion,
| and drawing back gave powerful thrust
with the staff, driving the sharp point
down the animals throat, killing him in
few minutes.
LYING AND SWEARING. old Parson S.,
of Connecticut, was particular kind of
person. One day he had a man plowing
in his field, and ne went out to see how
the work was going on. The ground was
very stony, and every time the piow
struck stone the man took occasion 10
swear little. "Look here" cried Par
son S. "you must not swear that way in
my field" "Well, reckon you'd swear
too" said the man, 'if you had to .plow
such stony field as this" "NOt bit OF
it," said Mr.. S. ''Just let me show your"
So the parsen took hold of the plow, but
he very soon had considerable trouble
with the stones. As stone after stone
caught the plowshare, Mr.. S. calculated:
"Wen, l never saw the like" And this
he repeated every time time a stone stop
ped his onward way AS soon as he had
plowed round once he stopped and said
to the man: "There, now You see |
can plow without swearing" "But
guess it's pretty near as bad to lie" an.
swered the man, "and you told dOzensof
lies. Every time the plow struck stone,
you said, Il never saw the like, when the
same thing happened minute before"

mirth, the policemen scream and have tC
cling to each other to keep themselves
from falling. The only person who does
not show himself becomingly delighted i:
the man who has been bitten.
The joker is always excellent in can
vassing: excellent again at the nomma'
tions, where he displays peculiar talent
for shirking unpleasant questions. The
cross grained elector who has drawn ups
political catechism, divided into separate
queries with hundred and one points OF
Interrogation, is reduced. to naught as
soon as he opens his mouth, and the joker
usually sails in without being weighted
with anything unpleasant in the shape OF
compromising pledges. In the House his
work is easy and sure to be profitable.
He badgers the Ministers, pulls the
speeches of the Treasury bench to pieces,
sets the whole House. auaking with laugh
ter, and. ends by rendering himself SO for
midable that at the first convenient op'
portunity he is offered a Colonial Govern
orship to get him out Of the way, or ap-
pointed to a seat in the Cabinet, so that
he may put his talents at the service of
the Ministry. For the functions of mem
bers of the Government such man is in
valuable; indeed a Cabinet which does
not possess a. Minister fond of his joke is
a Cabinet only half.ar1ned. There is none
but right honorable joker who can act
as lightning conductor, and divert into
pleasant channels the bolts which even
the best fof, Cabinets have launched at
them. Has anything gone wrong? Have
a few hundred British subjects been
massacred somewhere? Has some bran
new new ship that was relied on to do
wonders foundered unaccountably on
it's first voyage? Up rises the Minister
who loves his joke, and the matter is
explained breezily and cheerfully
to the satisfaction of everybody. 1t is the
same with the Bishop who loves his joke;
there is much popularity in store for a
divine so gifted. fla Bishop be gloomy
in his speech, and no friend to mirth, he
inevitably falls foul of Dissenters,. black
ems reams of foolscap, publishes refuta-
tions. by the hundred weight, and gets
himself into hot water up to the neck.
The Joking Bishop knows trick worth
two fthat. The greatest length he con-
sents to go is the short epigrammatic let
ter to the papers, slightly spiced with a
quotation from Horace. If this fails,
there is the lively anecdotal speech at the
May meetings; and it is very strange, in
deed, if, after this, the public do not take
the part of His Lordship, and make sport
of the Dissenters. On the whole, it
should perhaps be said that the man who
loves his joke-Judge, Magistrate, Min
lister, M. p; or Bishop-is, perhaps the
most pleasant of social stumbling blocks
True, his province is often to bamboozle
one and to throw one off the track one is
following, But never mind there are
stumbling blocks over which one falls
with a groan and muttered impreca-
ton there are others, which simply
throw one over into the dust and make
one laugh. Our friend, the inveterate
good -humored, but withal shrewd, joker
is one of the latter.-LODCl0D Ptt0 MG1
