s6E For want of selfrestraint, many men
are engaged all their lives in fighting difficult
ties of their own making, and rendering sue
cess impossible by their own cross-grained un.
gentlenesss, while others, who may be much
less gifted, make their way and achieve sue
cess by simple patience, equanimity and SELF
control.

rE Cautiously avoid talking of either your
own or other peoples domestic affairs. Yours
are nothing to them, but tedious; theirs are
nothing to you. The subject is tender one;
and it is odds but you touch somebody or
others sore place.

TELEGRAPH.
FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Dec 23-The Virginia dele
CATION have not been unmindiul of the great
work which the people Of the State expect
them to forward here this session, and some
efforts have already been quietly made in the
direction Of obtaining Federal aid 10 the ex.
tension of the james River and Kapawha
canal. Ii may not be pleasant news, Lut the
fact is that the outlook 10 this direction is by
no means promising. 1t is not unlikely hat it
will get some support in the Committee on
Railways and Canals, but certainly it will be
throtlcd by the Committee on Appropriations.
Two members of that committee have publicly
expressed their determination to oppose any
subsidy at this session.
The clerks in the Departments will have halt
a days holiday tomorrow and the whole day

some have been awakened for the first time
about the salvation Of their souls, and have been
converted at other places-one or two in our
churches in this city. Then brethren of the AS

work, thanking and prasing the Lord that he has
blessed the labors Of tne Association IN the year
that has Just passed, and let Us pray that his
Spirit may be poured ont N ore abundantly on
the labors of the Association in the future, in
the salvation of many souls Respectfully sub
mltted on behalf of the committee.
