"a MERRY CHRISTMAS

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTs.-In the
House OF Representatives, at Washington,
Mr.. Blaine has introduced bill proposing
an amendment to the constitution, proyid-
ing that no State shall make any law re.
specting the establishment of religion or pro.
hibiting the free exercise thereof, and that
no money raised by taxation in any State fol
the support of public schools, or derived from
any public fund therefor, or any public lands
devoted thereto, shall ever be under the con.
troll of any religious Sect and that no money
or lands so devoted shall he divided among
religious secis or denominations.
This is Mr.. Blainc's forward movement in
search of popularity as Presidential aspi
rant. President Grant in his late message
appears to have stolen Blaine's thunder, how.
ever, and it would be interesting to know
which of them first obtained letters patent
for this new method ofhumbugging the PEG
pie. The amendment would meet with no
opposition, and is entirely useless, except as
IN electionecring device. No danger exists
or is likely to arise in any of the States that
might make it at all necessary. Grant and
Blaine will both find that they have laid hold
of ropes of sand to pull themselves towards
the Presidential chair.
On the same day Mr. Randall also intro.
duced bill proposing an amendment TO tho
constitution providing that after the next
presidential election the President of the
United States shall hold his office for six
Vice President (whcn the office of Prcsidcn,

Confession and COutrition

The following is quoted from the recent
speech of Judge Settle of North Carolina,
delivered before the disabled Union SOL
diers of Ohio. at the Dayton Home:
1t would be criminal in me to attempt to
pass under false colOrs before YOU to-day.
l must. therefore, be candid. You see me
before you thoroughly whipped and re-
constructed rebel, that has come to Day
ton to take OF his hat to the brave defend
ers OF the Union, and to rejoice with Won
that She lives and has emerged from her
troubles more glorious than ever. Now.
never placed my foot on the soil of Ohio
until yesterday, and IN coming here | saw
more rich land than l ever saw in my life
before. | come here and see the soiiers'
nome IN one OF the most beautiful spots on
earth; and when came here and saw YOU
surrounded as you are. and saw the care
the government Is taking Of her defend.
ers, who took care OF her in the hour of
her peril. II makes me proud that 7 am
again citizen Of that Union. While Won
have much pride. have more. She is
but repaying the debt she owes you. While
she takes care of you, she could have hung
me- But she didn't; she pardoned me.
am not, however, complaining because she
didn't hang me. While l believe there is
an obligation resting upon us all to defend
this Union, do feel from my heart that
there are heavier obligations to protect
her in future, resting upon us who, follow
ing after vain gods. ATTEMPTED her destruc-
tion. than there is on you who never left
her: rejoice to be with you to-day. 1t is
nothing Of novelty to these gentlemen who
have addressed you; but to me it is
touching theme TO see the fostering arm
Of the government extended to YOU to hear
as have, that this government takes bet
ter care and protection Of her disabled SOL
diers than any government upon earth. 1t
should make us feel proud that we are cit
liens Of this Union. l would to God that

SAVING AND HAVING Either a man

II will surely come, no matter what he

10 save is absolutely the ONLY wav to
get solid fortune; there is no other GER

They might a. well curse mountains and

does not give away her real and substan-

bidder, to the hardest and wisest worker
for the boon. Men never make so fatal a
mistake as when they think themselves
creatures Of fate; It's the sheerest folly in
the world
Every man may make or mar his life,
whichever he may choose. Fortune is for
those Who by diligence, honesty. irugality,
place themselves in position to grasp hold
OF fortune when ii appears in view The
best evidence of frugality Is the five hun
dred dollars or more standing in your name
at the saving bank. The best evidence OF
honesty Is both diligence and fruga,ity.
