Beecher, is commended to all persons
liable to fits of emotional insanity
LIT is extremely difficult to commit the
crime of murder in such an accurate
and honest way that it shall justify the
specification of the statute. Unless the
would-be-murderer take legal counsel
beforehand and follow instructions
infinitely, he will fail nine times in ten,
however sincerely he may try. Any
body can kill man, but he cannot dc
it in first degree murder style without
counsel and care"

COLLAPSE OF THE INFLATIoN SCHEME.
The veto of the bill to increase the
issue of currency notes is one act of
President Grant which the people can
heartily endorse. 1t was in no sense o
party measure, and the Congressional
debates indicate that Democrats and
Republicans were found in the same
bed with no desire to kick each other
out. Mr.. Stockton of New Jersey,
n Democrat, pronounced imitation a
lishonor to the nation, and an exam
pie of reputation never before known.
Mr.. Thurman, Democrat, said the mean
ing of it all was that men of his age
were never again to see a currency of
solid worth, and good for the amount
expressed on its face. and Mr. Bayard
of Delaware, Democrat, called it dis
NAL and sorry day for his country, when
the bill should pass. Conkling, Antho-
ny, Sargent, Schu,z, and Stewart of the
Republican element, were very solemn
and emphatic in their foundations.
The fate of the bill is sealed from the
fact that it passed by vote considera-
bic less than constitutional majority

CONCLUSION AND CONCLUSIONS.

The trip home, Tuesday afternoon,
was delightful. The clouds presaged
rain, but none fell, and we were afford
ed an opportunity of observing the land
scape under its more sombre colors.
We were glad, however, to near home.
AS familiar objects appeared to view,
we felt like thanking kind Providence
that our " lines" are cast in more pleas
ant places than Tacoma Bay! Arise We
disconsolate, ye dispeptics, and you that
are afflicted with blue-devils or hypo-
chondria; specific is found for all your
ills. Visit Tacoma, and you will return
cured, and content to remain where Ma
ture has indicated her intention that
man should live and prosper.

ALL Cumsr's WoRDs-W must not
limit these ''words" of Christ to the
positive commands which he issued,
such as "Repent ye," "Come unto me,
"Take up my cross, "Go preach my
gospel" and similar short directions
We should take in the whole scope OF
his wonderful and beautiful teachings OF
humility, truthfulness, self-denial, hon
esty, sympathy with the poor and the
suffering, and submission to the will Of
God. When Jesus bound the napkin
about his hands, and stopped down and
washed the soiled feet OF a dozen fisher
men and publicans, he taught us how a
man can become greatest by becoming
the Servant of all" His treatment Of
the penitent woman teaches us how to
pity the fallen, and TO restore such In
the spirit of meekness. His command,
"always to pray aud never to faint, is
the sufficient answer to those cavillcrs
who impudently offer to us 'prayer-
guages, of their own fashiobing. His
golden rule to do unto others just as we
would that others should do unto us is
the charter law of all social and all bus
mess integrity, and all brotherly benev-
olence. Cuyler.

are spread,
And the living tread light on the hearth
of the dead
Yes, give me the land that is blest by
the dust,
And bright with the dews Of the down
trodden just.
Yes, give me the land where the bat
ties red blast
Has flashed on the future the form OF
the past
Yes give me the land that hath legends
and lays,
That tell of the memories of long van
ished days.
Yes. give me the land that hath story
and song,
To tell of the strife of the right with
the wrong;
Yes, give me the land with grave in
each spot,
And names in the graves that shall not
be forgot.
Yes, give me the land of the wreck and
the tomb:
There's grandeur in graves, there's
glory in gloom;
For out of the gloom future brightness
is born,
AS, after the night, looms the sunrise of
morn.
And the graves of the dead, with the
grass overgrown,
May yet form the footstool OF Llbertys
throne:
And each simple wreck in the waypath
of might,
Shall yet be rock in the temple OF
right.

Gently killed each other in a hand-to-
hand contest. The mode adopted by
the combatants was as romantic as 1t
was barbarous. The antagonists, who
were both about twenty years old, and
remarkably handsome, repaired one
Sunday morning, accompanied by GER
tain of their comrades, to village some
four or five miles distant, where they
breakfasted sumptuously at different
tables. The repast ended, they closed
the window curtains, stripped them
selves to the waist, and requested their
friends to leave the room. Then, at a
given signal, they attacked each other
with their navajas, and slashed and
thrust until both fell to the floor NOR
tally wounded When few minutes
had elapsed their friends re-entered the
room. Estefania, one of the combat
ants, had received ten wounds, from
which she bled to death in about halt
an hour. Casilda, her antagonist, died
somewhat sooner from ghastly wound
in the neck.

L1rE.-What varying thing is the
stream of life How it sparkles and
plitters Now it bounds along its
pebbly bed, sometime in sunshine,
sometimes in shade; sometimes sporting
round all things, as if its essence were
merriment and brightness; sometimes
flowing solemnly on, as if it were de-
rived from Lethe itself. Now it runs
like liquid diamond along the mead
ow; now-it plunges in fume and fury
over the rock; now it is clear and limp
id, as youth and innocence can make it;
now it is heavy and turbid, with the
varying streams Of thoughtand memory
that are ever flowing into it, each bring
ing its store of dullness and pollution as
it tends toward the end. Its voice, too,
varies as it goes; now it sings lightly,
as it dances on; now it roars amidst the
obstacles that oppose its way; and now
it has no tone but the dull, low murmur
of exhausted energy. Such is the stream
of life ! yet perhaps few of us would
wish to change our portion OF it tor the
calm regularity of canal-even if one
could be constructed without locks and
flood-gates upon it to hold in the pent
up waters of the heart till they are
ready to burst through the banks.
