Offensive People.

If to be a good man and successful man
is offensive to the world at large, to be
praised is exasperatiug. No greater unknd-
ness can be done TO any man than to praise
him much. People generally will stand
moderate compliment paid to a neighbor
while they are left to qualify it, or TO admit
it as a matter of generosity or courtesy but
praise persisted in will ruin the reputation
of anybody. There is nothing more often
siye 10 the average human being than per
sistent laudation bestowed upon another
To hear man warmly praised is sufficient
usually, to make us hate him; and it is only
necessary to have the praise repeated often
enough, TO make us desire to shoot him.
Praise Is one of the articles we would
like to have distributed little-not that
we want it, but the object OF it is not
the best man-if we know ourselves. Nir-
tue is good thing, temperance is good
thing, genius is not bad thing altogether ;
but no man is to be mentioned so many as
ten times, as having either of them in pos
session, without making his name stencil
and an offence TO the nostris of sensitive
world The true way of getting along well
in the world, is not to make ones self often
siye to ones friends by excellence Of charac-
ter and habits or life, by success, or by do
ing anything praiseworthy. Let Us strike
the average as nearly as possible. Let us
be good fellows, rather than good men, and
choke the first man who dares TO ascrbe to
us q single virtue. Let us all keep down
and out of sight All that we do for our
selves and all that we do for mankind, only
feeds he'll with slanderers, and so betrays
the haseness of human nature that we may
well blush TO think that we are members Of
the human race &. Holland.

mountains are divided i'm different drcc-
tions by narrow and very deep rayines,
at the bottom of which rivers run at fu-
rious pace. When The snow melts, or during
violent rains, they swell TO an extraordinary
degree, and carry everything before them in
their mad course toward the sen; huge
stones and trunks of trees are whifled along
as if they were feathers. At such times,
travel is out Of the question: it being impos-
sible to ford or swim the rivers. They must
be crossed, as the road runs sometimes on
one side and sometimes on the other, on ac-
count Of land Slides and places where the
one bank is perpendicular and the other is
sloping
It was over one Of these secondary chains
that we had to pass in going from Pitsounda
to Pskoo. a small village on the river Bzecb.
From where we stood. the greater pant Of the
rayine Of the Apsta could bee seen, and our
camping ground Of the previous night vas
in view. The mountains were covered with
dense forests to the height Of sis or seven
thousand feet higher up were open pastures,
and still higher, bare rocks, with an occasional
patch of snow. We soon started for the de.
scent About an hours travel brought as TO
spring, and to the edge Of the steepest part
Of the mountain. Here we gave the horses
rest. and dinod ourselves. After dinner. we
found fine road more and more difficult. our
baggage was diyived amongst all the horses.

Mr.. Lincoln, Great Cctty,burg Address.

The address of President Lincoln, at the
dedication Of the cemetery at Gettysburg, is
considered one of the finest speeches ever
made 4 discussion in regard to its exact
language has led to the publication, in the
Nation, Of the address as IL was revised, af-
ter it's delivery, by Mr.. Lincoln. We're
print ii and commend it ion its simple elo-
quence, and as one Of the best lessons Of
patriotism:
"Fourscore and seven years ago. our fathers
brought forth on this continent o new nation. con-
ceiycd IN liberty. and dedicated TO the proposition
that all men are created equal
Now We are engaged iu o great civil war,
testing whether that nation or any nation 50 com
ceivcd and so dedicated, can long endure We
are met on great battlefield Of that war. We
have come to dedicate portion of that field as a
final restins-place for those who here gave their
lives that that nation might live. It is altogether
fitting and proper that We should do this.
But, in larger sense, We cannot dedicate
we cannot consccratc-wc cannot halow- this
ground The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecruted it far above our
poor power to add or detmct The world will lit
tie note, nor long remember, what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did here. 1t Is
fol the living, rather, to be dedicated here tu
the unfinished work which they who fought here
have thus lar 50 noby advanced. It is rather ior
MS to be here dedicated to the great task remain
ing before us-that from these honored dead We
take increased devotion To that cause for which
they gave the last full meaurc Of devotion
that we here highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in yain-tlat the nation, under
God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that
government Of the people by the people, for the
people shall not perish from the earth

TnE term, "grass widow" is said to be a
corruption of "grace widow" "Grace
widow " is the term applied to one who be-
comes widow by grace or favor and not by
death of her husband, and originated in the
early ages of European civilization, when
divorces were granted but seldom, aud
wholly by the Catholic church, When such
a degree was granted to a woman, the Pa
pal rescript stated "Niduca de Gratia, ."
which, interpreted, is widow of grace" In
the law of the French, it would read 4" Neuve
de grace" or "grace widow" "veuye" be-
ing translated as widow"

The VINE AND THE RRANCnEs.-We
take the following from an exchange :
Jesus says lie is yine-the true vine
aud that those who love Him are the
branches Did you ever look at the branch
of vine or of a tree, and notice how closely
they grow together? You cannot tell where
the branch begins. 1t grows out Of the
vine, and is really part Of it, How closely
we must beunited to Christ, if we are really
branches. Sometimes branches die. You
have seen dead ones, ! am sure. They fall
off. No fruit grows on dead branches, of
course. SO ii would be with us, il we We're
10 stop loving Jesus We should do no good
acts, but only bad ones, Who would not
wish to be a branch, ii Jesus is the vine? ?
