OF students who begin a term with
high aims, how many year after year
fail to fulfill them, not from want OF
opportunity, but from want of resoiu-
ton The poet Cowper was once con-
sulted by his friend, Mr.. Unwin, about
some mans character. "All / know,
he wrote, "about him is, that / saw
him once clap his two hands upon a
rail. meaning to leap over it; but he
did not think the attempt a safe one,
and so took them off again." This
story typifies the career OF not a few
who pror lised something better. Let
me counsel you to keep your hand upon
the rail, even if you fail to clear it at
the first leap, or, at all events, only to
remove it in order to try humber
height. You are often exhorted to
aim high that you may secure lower
'tWho aimeth at the sky,
Shoots higher much than he that means a
tree"
But am not sure that it is not wiser
TO select for the immediate mark, how
ever ambitious your ultimate hopes mey
be, something fairly within your power,
and pertinaciously to strive until you
| hit it.

"T.ord" Gordon

Lord Gordon Gordon, the sham no.
bleman, blew out his brains at Head
inglv, Manitoba, last week, ending a
rascailv but somewhat extraordinary
career. Pretending to belong to the
family of Lord Byron, and protesting to
be the owner of great tracts of western
land, he cut conspicuous figure in the
city of New York. where he not only
swindled Horace Greeley but that re-
markable man, Jay Gould. After he had
fed to Manitoba he was kidnapped by a
party of men from Minnesota, WHO, how
ever, did not succeed in reaching United
States territory with him. On the con-
trary they got themselves into trouble,
and Gordon Gordon went scott free. The
newspapers have repeatedly published
accounts of his swindling operations, and
his name is familiar to the readers OF
public journals. He seems to have tired
at last of being hunted, and, to escape
arrest on the charge of embe.zzlifig jew.
elry at Glasgow, deliberately put an end
to his life.

Herdinr on the Plains.

We learn from correspondent OF the
Chicago Tribune that not more than
two thirds of the men who try stock
raising on the plains succeed. With
one It is bad luck another's stock is
stolen another is lazy; another drinks;
and fifth CANDLES off not only the
profits. but sometimes the whole herd.
A man, to raise stock, must be not only
sober. but industrious and, when the
storm comes, he mnst be brave, and
keep his cattle together, and feed them,
even at the risk of his life. In time OF
peril or danger, the herder must never
let go his grip if he does, the herd is
ruined, and the labor of years lost.

Going to Bed.

The Science of Health is credited with
the following "We should never go
to bed with hope for rest, sleep and
perfect repose until all ready The
preliminaries for retirement are all just
as important as are those for the day
duties. We must not go to bed with an
overloaded stomach, in an anxious or
troubled state of mind, with cold ex-
tremities, or without anticipating or re-
spending to the calls of nature in all
respects, Standing over register, be-
fore fire, or in stove-heated room, is
not the best way to get warm for night S

exercise as viii give quick circulation to

but on natural heat. Attention to all these

The Outrage Against Virginia.

conduct of the United States Govern.
meut in reference to the municipal
election lately held in Petersburg, Vir-
ginia, has excited intense Indignation
in that State. sAt that election the
negroes, who had ruled the white
population for FIVE years after the
fashion of'their brethren in South Gu
rolina and Louisiana, were completely
routed, and dagwhite mans government
set in operation. The election was
conducted With perfect order and fair.
ness under The State law, which had
provided special securities against the
usual frauds upon the ballot. The re-
suit Of the election naturally gave NOR
tai offence to Stowell and Piatt, the
carpet.bag members of Congress, and
to the ring of Federal Office seekers in
Petersburg. The. judges of election
were seized unde the United States
Enforcement Act; and although there
is q United States Commissioner in
Petersburg, these gentlemen were
dragged over to Richmond, and there
tried before Commissioner Peasants.
Various negroes testified on the trial,
nearly all of whom confessed that they
had psrjured themselves, and the
charges were shown to be utterly frivo-
lous and void; but the United States
Commission decided to hold all these
Judges to bail for appearance and trial
at the United States Circuit Court,
upon. the ground, as stated by him,
that at preliminary examination al
accused party was bound to prove his
innocence. This proceeding created
much feeling in Petersburg; but though
it led to no disorder or violence, the
carpet-baggers made il the pretext for
call ON the President for troops to be
stationed at Petersburg. Instead of
rebnking this application, or commu-
nlcating with the Governor aud au-
thorities of Virginia in the matter, At.
torney- General Williams utterly ignor-
ed the latter altogether, aud writes a
letter to the United States Marshal in
Virginia, q carpat-bagger, and tells
him to summon a,posse to protect the
property of the United State Govern
ment in Petersburg and the officials
as If the people there were ready to
perpetrate outrages on both and there
was no local law or authorities to main
tain the peace. He also leaves it to
this nobscnre carpet-bagger to decide
whether Federal troops shall be called
there from Fortress Monroe or not.
All ihis, time there is perfect order
throughout, Virginia, except here and
there negro incendiarism. one gentle.
man living near Richmond having had
nine.attempts made to fire his dwell
ing. This attempt to introduce in
Virginia the tyranny which was perpe-
trated in North Carolina and South
Carolina. under the Enforcement Act,
will eliminate from the Republican
party there the last semblance of re-
spectability. The President had hoped
Tor party in this State; but no man
of any position or weight in the Con-
servative party is willing to qnit that
organization or to couutenapce his
ambition for third term. The idea
thrown out by some Of ticket. with
the nnmes of Grant for President, and
Gov. Kemper for Vice President, Was
repelled by Gov. Kemper in tho most
emphatic manner.
