ton of trade associations amounts 90
nearly one hundred thousand The eight
hour league now numbers 21 400 mem

time The strikes have now extended to

The Cincinnati revolt did not end the
intestinal disorders of the Radical party.
There is a tremendous row in the Grant
faction in Pennsylyauia. Poor Col
Forney, who avows that he will stick to
Grant TO the last, declares also, that the
Radical State ticket is a miserable thing
and that. if not changed, viii not only

the substitution Of some one else In his

BE True 10 Your Convictions.


No man has any right to expect or
even ask for clearer light on his path
when he is not walking by the light
which he has.
Thousands Of christians are at stand
in their christian life because they do
not live according to the light which
they have. They habitually disregard
clear convictions of duty, either allowing
themselves in some habit or feeling,
which conscience condemns, or neglect
ing some duty to which conscience calls
them. The ship may float in deep water,
vet not advance even though the wind
and tide favor, if its anchor be cast.
The one little sinful habit allowed, may
hinder a child Of God and stop all pro-
gress; while if ne would be true to his
own convictions, be would speed onward
to the haven of his desires.
A person who has no convictions to
guide and steady him is mere floating
bulk, driven by every wind, driited By
every current.
BE not such a one. Be true to yc1r
convictiops ia everything Ii you are
sure of course, follow it: ii not, forsake
it at once.
Such decision in one case prepares
you for deciding more easily and prompt
y in another. Begin with the first sin
you discover in yourself, and hew it to
pieces.

EsOyv Mr.. Seward Drew a RevoI-

Not long ago 4 gentleman was telling
me senatorial anecdOte Of, and dating
back to, the antebellum days. Mr.. Sew
ard had made speech-somethiDg about
the telegra ph-wheu Mr. Tcombs, Of
Georgia, rose to reply, aud made speech
full OF personal abuse of Seward lie
wrought himself up into rage and
lashed about in the most aggressive man
uer. He finished and took his seat. As
Mr. Seward rose from his chair every
eye was bent upon him with the greatest
anxiety.
With calm measured step he walked
toward Mr. Toombs. 1t was noticed that
his right hand was underneath the rear
pocket of his coat There was appre
henson that he was concealing a pistol,
and Mr.. Toombs friends crowded around
him When Mr.. Seward reached him
he drew out his hand, and opening his
snuff box politely invited his adversary
to take a pinch of snuff "My God ~
said Mr., Toombs, "Mr Seward, have
you no feelings p Take a pinch OF
snuff, it will soothe your agitation" He
then returned to his seat, aud, without
any allusion to Mr.. Toombs or his speech,
made an able argument in favor of his
measure, which carried, as GOODNESS and
self possession will always win the victo
ry over hot temper and passionate inYec-

LIFE IN PRIsoN-The surgeon gen.
eral lately made an inspection of the
State prison of Connecticut, by order of
the Governor, and his report has been
printed As is usually the case, the re-
port embraces much that is entirely for
eigu to the duties of inspection contem-
plated by the order. and makes sugges-
tions of reform. lie views prison life
not as punishment for crimes, but as
means of reclamation to society of crImi-
nails. lie brings forward The light aud
progress of the age, and iinds prison life
far behind what it ought to be at our
preseat stage of civilization. The food
and sleeping accommodations and gen.
eraI treatment of criminals. as criminals,
are good as could be expected, but the
society isbad and the surgeon advances
his theories for the improvement OF the
social condition of the prison.

ENoUGH FOR ALL.-There is room
enough in the world for all so it is un-
necessary to try to build yourself up on
others downfall The more prosperity
.he better for every trade and profession,
for then each one can buy more and pay
better. Yet men and women prey upon
each others rights, spy out and try to
undermine each others successes, and
enjoy each others failures, as if each
pursuit were as crowded as the houses
people live in, which TO accommodate all
must be built story upon story into the
air. What a mislake There is no
need of one. person building or sitting on
the right OF another There is space
and resource enough on the ground floor
of industry in trade or profession for all
who have disposition to strive.

Henri Disease.

There is so much erroneous belief on
this subject, that VIC deem it fitting one
upon which to expatiate. And perhaps
at the outset, we shall startle most per-
sons by the assertion that many men
with heart disease carry it forty and if
ty wears, and then die from some other
cause entirely That man has this af-
fection does not imply, as many suppose,
that he is of"lew days and full OF trouble. u"
Onentimes il is no trouble at all,
even when seriously diseased, and it may
be carried for many year, with the
same lack of symptoms, if care is taken
in the general habits Of life.

There is a peculiar fascination about
the buried treasures Cd sea robbers, and
it requires but little persuasion at any
time to fit out an expedition to 60 IN
search of such imaginary stories of fa-
buIous riches. Plenty of young men,
aud some older heads that ought to have
better sense, are always willing to joIn
in such an enterprise upon the slightest
prdvocation. The hard ex experience Of all
former sea gold hunters is not sufficient
to deter any new scheme Of getting sud-
denly rich off the wealth of others, pro-
yided it can be had without the risk of
direct robbery.
Some time ago, an expedition was fit
ted out in California to 20 to COcos
islands after the buried treasure Of last
generation S buccaneers.
A certain Capt. Weleh started the
project, aud to get means Of outfttiug be
had told the story that had seen the
treasury buried there with his own eyes.
The bait was sufficient, a good number
Of dupes bit, and now are bitten. A
stock company was formed, and the
means speedily raised. The stock was
considered good, even for California, aud
there was evidently strong credence in
the scheme. 1t has collapsed, and the
expedition came very near tragical
! termination on the island.
4 treasure digger writes home to his
family to sell all the stock they have,
unless the news Of failure has already
reached California and spoiled the
market. That is rather cool.
