THE NEXT SLNAgE.
New York Tribune.I

When the revelation of last fall swept away
the administration majority in the House ot
| Representatives. the defeated party took con
ISOLATION in the thought that its ascendency in
the Senate could in no event be disturbed
The elections OF the past few weeks have
shown how severely this last prop of a fal ing
party has been shaken. 1t is perfectly safe to
say that lad there been Ealf dozen more
States to elect Senators, the Opposition would
have secured clear majority in the Senate
Ga the Sd of March next the terms of twenty
five Senators will expire. OF these seventeen
are Administration, and eight Opposition.
| twenty-five States have elected Senator's
and In three, Minnesota, Florida, and West
Virginia, result has not yet been reached
| OF the new Senator's fifteen are safely to be
| placed in the Opposition, and to these may be
added those whom West Virginia and Florida
will elect. This, with the sixteen Opposition
members holding over, gives the anti-admin-
istration party total Of thirtY-three men,
| beers, and leaves the Administration with only
| torty-one, giving them the successor Of Sena-
tor Ramsey IN Minnesota, and counting the
vacant seat for Louisiana in their favor, al
though it clearly belongs on the other side.
There is an instructive lesson in this show
ing for those persons who see in every fresh
exposure OF crime in high places a sure fore
runner OF the Republics death. Their IA
vorlte argument is that the people look upon
exposures Of corruption and the exercise Of
unconstitutional power with Indifference
They charge the public conscience with
lethargy because it does not cry out with
more yehemence against such wrongs But
the surest test of the public mind is the bal
lot-boX. The American people are not indit-
ferent to corruption and usurpation on the
part of its officials. 1t makes up its mind
deliberately, but surely, and sooner or later
the thieves and reprobltes thrust aside,
never to pe seen again. Let those who are
coming into office reflect upon this truth.
1t has borne them to power. 1t can as easily
take them away from 1t.

GrnAslfh of Character.

From the moment babe begins To
notice surrounding objects his character
is under the process of formation; day
by day, through infancy and childhood,
here a little there a little, character
grows with the growth and strengthens
with the strength, until, good or bad, it
becomes almost coat of mail. Look
at the model man of busipess-prompt,
reliable, conscientious, cool, and eau
tious. yet clear-headed and energetic
When do you suppose he developed all
these admirable qualities? When lie
was Il boy. Let us see the way tn which
a boy of ten years gets up in the morn
ing, works, plays, studies, and we will
tell you Just ;.bout what kind of man
he will make. The boy who is late at
breakfast, late at school-who never
does anything at the right time, stands
poor chance to be prompt man,
The boy who half washes his face, half
does his task, forgets half his errands.
half learns his lessons, will never make
a thorough man. The boy who neglects
his duties, be they ever so small, and
then excuses himself 10y saying, ''Oh, /
forgot! / didn't thinkI" will never be a
reliable man. And the boy who finds
pleasure in the pain and suffering of
weaker things will never be a noble,
generous, kindly mana real gentle
man.

Dignity Of True Christians.

One of the best evidences of genuine
conversion is Christian, obedience. The
Psalmist exclaimed: ''Oh, that my ways
were directed to keep Thy statutesr ~
The first inquiry of Paul after his CONVEX
sion was, Lord, what will thou have
me to do 2" and years Afterward we heard
him saying, " L delight in the law of
the Lord after the inner man
Such obedience God owns and appre
ciates. He even puts higher estimate
on such obedient ones than on his
kindred according to the tlesh;" for We
are told Matt. viii. 11-12) that ON a
certain occasion, when encompassed by
a crowd of persons. he was informed
his mothers and brother were present and
desired to speak with him, he replied:
Ny mother and brother are those which
hear the word of God and do it," We
cannot doubt that Christ cherised ardent
affection for her who bore him, for while
hanging in agony on the cross he COM
the care OF his beloved disciple John, nor
have we any reason for supposing he
had not suitable regard for all his rela
tions, and yet acknowledging and affirm
ing he had higher affinities and relation
ship than those of an earthly nature, We
find the relation which those who obey
ed him sustained to him was even closer
and nobler than that of brethren or
mother. We may accordingly lea. II
there is union to Christ in spirit, which is
more intimate and sacred than union to
him in the flesh: that there is dignity in
faith and service surprising even that
of affinity and consanguinity and that
we can attain this exalted dignity by be-
ing "doers of the word" doing the will
of Christ in sincerity and truth.

EVERY -DAY.-A Christian man, deep
ly devoted and wise to win souls, made
it a rule 10 speak to some unconverted
person every day on the subject of his
souls salvation. One night, as he was
about retiring to rest, he bethOugit him
self that he had not fulfilled his VOW that
day. He Immediately put on his attire
and prepared to go in quest of a soul
But WHERE should he go? was the ques
ton. He concluded to make visit to
a grocer with whom he was in the habit
of trading. He found him engaged in
closing up his store. When the errand
of his customer was made known he was
surprised. He said all sorts Of Christian
peopIe traded with him-Methodist
Episcopalians, Presbyterians, BaptistS,
&c.,-but no one had ever spoken to him
about his soul. The night visit of his
customer, and his earnest pleadingS,
made such an impression upon his mind
that it led to his speedy conversion
Reader go thou and do likewise.

THE CHURCH IN THE WoRLD.-The
Church must grope her way into the al
lsys and courts and peTlieus of the city,
ard mp the broken staixcase, and into
the bar room, and beside the loathsome
sufferer; she must go down into the pit
with the miner. into the foreeastle with
the sailor, into the tent with the soldier,
into the shop with the mechanic, into
the factory with the operative, into the
field with the farmer, into the counting
room with the merchant. Like the air,
the Church must press equally on all sur
faces of society; like the sea, flow in ev-
cry nook of the shore-line of humanity !;
and, like the sun, shine on things foul
and low as we'll as fair and high, for she
was organized, commissioned and
equipped for the moral renovation of the
world.-SimpSOn.
