The main hotels OF the city swarmed with excited

who had but single thought and that tho result
OF to-day's struggle. The Fifth Avenue and the Ev-
ereit House wore, OF course, the particular centres
OF interest, being the headquarters OF the
party committees. Canvassing opinions was the
absorbing and exclusive amusement, while each per-
son IN tho throng had definitely settled tho whole

Vulgar Language.

There is as much connection be-
tween the words and the thoughts,
as there is between thoughts and
actions. The latter is only the ex-
preston of the former. but they
have a power to react upon the soul.
A young man who allows himself
to use one vulgar or profane word,
has not only shown there is a foul
spot upon his mind, but by the APP
pearance of that word he extends
the spot, and infames it, till by in
diligence, it will pollute and ruin
the soul. Be careful of your words
as of your thoughts. If you can
control the tongue that no improper
words are pronounced by it, you
win soon be able to control the
mind and save it from corruption.
You extinguish the fire by smoth-
eriRg it, or by preventing bad
thoughts from bursting into Ian
guage. Never utter a word any
where which you would be ashamed
to speak in the presence of the
most refined female or the most re-
ligious man. Try this practice a
little while, and you will soon have
command of yourself.
