Marshal Bazaine is getting into a very critical position. As his trial proceeds it is evident how little he cared for the country and how much for himself and the Empire. Indeed he never recognized the authority of the provisional govern ment but behaved throughout as if he were responsible to nobody except the fugitive empress as regent, Napoleon TIT. being then a prisoner of war. His evident design was to preserve his army intact; to make some arrangement with Germany; and then use his army to restore the empire. He has apparently a fair but thorough trial, and public opin- ion sets very strongly against him.

 Rev. George Curtiss, pastor of the Con gregational church, returned homo on Thursday evening last, with his family, after an absence of four weeks. Upon his return he was surprised to find that a goodly numberso his practitioners had taken possession of the parsonage, re- moved the carpet in the front room and in its place put down new one purchased by the ladies and presented by them as q token of their regard for their pastor and his family. Not satisfied with that, they brought in a supply of eatables. filing a table with all that heart could wish, and then sat down with them to enjoy good meal The pastor and his good wife took all this interference with his household ar rangements very kindly and indeed seem ed very agreeably surprised. ssg

4 great deal has been said about Sena- tor Carpenters immortality in the Tribune and other papers. His friends say they can disprOve the reports about the Long Branch scandal The husband of the womaninvolved says that he merely placed her under Senator Carpenter's protection while he went West himself. and that the stories circulated are islanders. On the ether hand those who first published those statements say they stand ready to prove them If Senator Carpenter is innocent he can make his innocence clear in a suit against the New York Tribune and this strikes us as one of the cases in which a libel snif would be his proper remedy.

LAUGHING CHILDREN.-Give me
(says q writer) the boy or girl who
smiles as soon as the first rays OF
the morning sun glance in through
the window, gay happy and kind.
Such boy will be fit TO "make up
into a man-at least when contrast
ed with a sullen, morose, Grabbed
fellow, who snaps and snarls like a
surly cur, or growls and grunts like
an untamed hyena, from the mo-
ment he opens his hungry eyes till
be is confronted" by his breakfast.
Such a girl. other things being ia.
vorable, will be good material to
aid in gladdening some comforta-
BILE home, or to refine, eivilize, tame
and huhanize a rude brother, max
ing him gentle, affectionate and
lovable. 1t is a feast to even look
at such a joy-inspiring girl, such a
woman girl, and see the smiles iow-
ing, so TO speak, from the parted
lips, displaying a set of clean, we'll
brushed teeth, looking almost the
personifcatiOn Of beauty and good
ness, singing, and as merry as the
blrds-the Wide-awake birds that
commenced their morning concert
long before the lazy boys dreamed
that the sun was approaching and
about to pour whole food oi
light and warmth upon the earth.
Such a girl is like gentle shower
to the parched earth, bestowing
kind words, sweet smiles and act:
of mercy to all around her-the Joy
aud light of the household.

WoMAN's DEvoTIoN.-A CORES
pondent of the Louisville Courier
Journal, writing from one Of the
watering places, has the following
concerning q gentleman and lady
who are well known and highly es-
teemed in st. Louis:
GI have recently met a lovely
Kentucky lady, Mrs. General Paul.
She is from Newport. Gen. Paul
had both of his eyes shot out in bat
tie. Ho bears his affliction with
the resignation of Christian mar
tyr. AT the Cook ball the General
was in full Uniform, and would
playfully repeat the ordinations
he heard about the beautiful fow-
ers. His charming wife is the staff
upon which he leans, and she so
tenderly watches and guides his
steps that she is eyes and every
thing to HIM. In the carriage he
made some gallant speech to her,
and she said: fOl, husband, l have
changed so that don't believe you
would know me ifyou saw me, it is
so long since you have seen me-
Such rare devotion as theirs gives
eyes to tho soul, and the loss of the
outward Ones is not recognized"

RELIGION OF OUTWARD NATURE.
in our ardor for spiritual religion
we have neglected too much the re-
ligion which springs from nature.
Spiritual religion alone leaves part
of our nature unsatisfed-all that
large region of imagination and feel
ings which are kindled into awe
and Joy by the influences of natu-
rel beauty, by the activity and
change, by the passion and calm of
nature. The poets have siezed on
this region and made it their own,
and it might be called the region
of natural poetry. 1t has lost its
true name, which is, the region of
the religion of nature. 1t is con-
sidered as the realm in which beau
ty and sublimity, and q hundred
other distractions are revealed; il
has ceased, practically, to be con-
sidered as the realm in which God
is revealed. We cOnfine the reve-
lation Of God to the spiritual truths
disclosed in Christianity. 1t is not
too much 10 say that that is a prac-
teal mistake. There are two books
of revelation-the book of nature
and the book of Gods speech to
mans spirit. When the latter sue
ceeded the former, it did not intend
to push the religion derived from
nature away forever, but to supple
ment it. Both are TO be retained
by US, only one naturally was to be
higher than the other. But the
overwhelming importance given to
spiritual religion has removed out
of the sphere of our religious
thought the religion Of nature
Consequently, the study of nature
by scientific men, and the conten-
platiOn of nature by poetic men,
have both become irreligious.-

THISTLE SEED.-This story is told
OF woman who freely used her
tongue TO the scandal Of others, and
confessed to the priest what she had
done. He gave her a ripe thistle
top, and told her to 90 out in vari-
GUS directions and scatter the seeds,
one by one. Wondering at the pc
nance, she obeyed, and returned
and told her confessOr. To her A.
mazement, he told her TO go back
and gather the scattered seeds; aud
when sho objected that it would be
impossible, he replied that it would
be still more difficult to gather up
and destroy all evil reports which
she had circulated about ethers.-
Any thoughtless, careless child can
scatter a handful of thistle seed be-
fore the wind in a moment, but the
strongest and wisest cannot gather
them again.

10 herself. Aloud she answered:

"Money would be no object

Mr.. Patterson listened. He saw
what he had done; proposed and
been accepted without having any
idea what he was about.
He looked at Mrs. Muntle; she
was very nice and fresh and comely,
and ten years his junior at least, If
she was forty. He could not have
done better thing, and he would
be married without any, trouble
some counting. So he put his arm
about Mrs. Muntle's waist, and
said:
'Thank you, my dear. Iconsider
myself very lucky"
He wrote to his good doctor in
about fortnight's time, to tell him
that he had taken both his prescrip-
tions, and was a married man, and
intended to bring his bride home
about Christmas.

WHAT NE1;T?-The Evansville, Ind,

bout that New State project:
The scheme to form new State
out of parts of Tennessee and Missis-
sippi, has its origin among the dis
eomfted Democrats of that region
who do not relish the fact that Missis.
sippi is republican State. The part
of Mississippi they propose to cut of
is Democratic; and while the tOrma
ton of the new State would leave the
old one more intensely Republican
than ever, the new State weuld bt
Democratic, and that would open the
way to satisfy the ambition Of thu
many statesmen there who are utterly
neglected. It is a very nice little ar
rahgement but it won't work.
