Whining.

There is class.of people in this
worldly no means small-whose
prominent popularity is whining.
They whine because they are poor; or.
if rich, because they have no health to
enjoy their riches; they whine because
they have no luck, and others pros
perity exceeds theirs; they whine be-
cause some friends have died and they
are living; they whine because they
have aches and pains, and because
they whine, and they whine no one can
tell why. Now we would like to say
word to those whining persons. First,
stop whining-it is no use, this ever
lasting complaining, fretting, fault
finding and whining. Why, you are
the most deluded set of creatures that
ever lived Do you know that it is a
well settled principle of physiology
and common sense that these habits
are more exhausting to nervous vital
ity than almost any other violation Of
physiological law And do you know
that life Is pretty much as you make
it? You can make it bright and shiny,
or you can make it dark and shadowy.
This life is only meant to discipline
us-to fit us for higher and purer
state OF being. Then stop whining
and fretting, and go on your way re-
joicing.

THE following is from a letter by
William Cullen Bryant in relation to
affairs in the South
I'm all my intercourse with the peo-
pie of the South, although it has not
been very extensive nor of very long
continuance, | heard only the express
ed sense of a desire to be ON friendly
terms with us of the Northern States.
Especially has this been the case in
Charleston, where | saw more than
elsewhere of the people of the place.
/ have never, since | crossed Mason
and Dixon's line, heard single ex-
preston of bitterness or malignity
toward those who live north of it. 1t
was but the other day that the people
of Charleston sent formal invitation
to the President of the United States
to visit South Carolina. He declined
the civility, and at the same time re-
moved the postmaster of Charleston,
Mr.. Trott, who was highly esteemed,
and for whose continuance in office
the citizens without distinction Of
party, had earnestly petitioned. In
his place he appointed colored man,
who, whether justly or not. lies under
the odlum of being connected with the
corrupt fellows who have for several
years been pillaging the State. This
was like answering an invitation to
dinner with slap in the face, and
was gross blunder, to say the least. "

In q lecture delivered by Carl sohurz.

before tho students OF Princeton UniveF-
sity, on France aud Germany" he very
appropriately discussed the subject Of
education in Germany, ard exhibited
the results Of her educational system.
The passage which We quote below is
emiuenti, suggestive. and presents as
broad contrast as can be conceived to
the absurd usage of our own Govern
ment. Next to personal honesty in
officials, the thing most needed in this
country is fitness for position, the result
Of careful training for it, and the en-
forcement Of responsibility in those who
hold Office. There is good lesson in
these statements of Senator Sohurz, by
which our officials might profit:
Every candidate for every Office is
most rigidly examined, and nnless he
can reach the standard established, he
must yield 10 him who can. Then when
an ofloer is appointed-never, under
stand you, because be is befriended by
some one in power, but always because
he has shown himself to be fitted for the
position to which he aspires-the Go
vernment throws around him certain
safeguards which shield and protect
him from the assaults of political ene-
mics. In Germany, no arbitrary rule
can throw man out OF Office. This and
many other rules might be adopted else
where with great benefit.
You may find it difficult to believe the
statement. but it is none the less fact.
that a German official would rather
starve than steal. There was q time
when the bribe.taker would be hanged.
This is not 30 now; but one thing is sure,
that the ofioe-holder cannot in any way
prove recreant to his trust without being
detected; and another thing equally Ger.
tain is that he is inevitably punished.
Would that I could honestly say the
same OF similar criminals everywhere.
T learn by the papers that an investiga-
ton is now being held in Germany into
the shortcomings of some officials.
There is Credit Mobilier over there, I
think, for it seems to have become con-
tsGlous. How will it end? Do you
think that if the accused are found
guilty they will be ranged in a row and
mildly censured? Do you labor for q
moment under the impression that i'm
mediately after the administration of the
terrible punishment they will be COM
plimented upon their narrow escape, and
continue to receive assurances and proofs
Of governmental regard and esteem and
confidence? If you do, you are most
egregionsly mistaken.
