heavy and times are hard, still il the
Trustees asked for more money, and
that question could be committed to
the Assembly pure and simple, believe
the people would confirm it. But that
question will not be asked pure and
simple. There will be an attempt at q
reorganization OF the Board OF Trustees.
That attempt was made with considera-
BILE force last spring, and it will be made
with much more force next spring. l
believe the result will be, when the
Trustees go to Columbus, that their
request will be loaded down with
stipulations that will provide food
for discussion through the entire
session, and very likely defeat the appli-
cation itself. And If the Assembly
should grant the application with con-
ditlons OF this kind, they may be and
probably wi be defeated before the
people. II the application fails, we
come back to where l propose to go-to
the determination to lease the road In
the condition In which the sixteen mil
lions will put it, OH the best terms that
deliberate and wise consultations will
devise. How much better would 1t be
10 take that position voluntarily; how
much better terms for leasing could we
get made now than to wait until we are
actually driven TO a leasel A defeat is
always something to be avoided, and in
this case honorable retreat seems to me
far preferable"
Mr.. Julius Refs thought the subject
had not been sufficiently discussed, ana
the time proposed was too short.
MIR. Ingalls, suggested that the subject
be voted Oh by The Chamber of Com

Alone with God.

A carrier in large town in Yorkshire
heard his carter one day in the yard, swear
ing dreadfully at his horses. The carrier
was a man who feared God, spent his Lords
day as teacher in the Sabbath-school. and
endeavored to promote the spiritual good of
his fellow-creatures. He was shocked TO
hear the terrible oaths that resounded
through the yard. lie went up to the young
man, who was just setting off with his cart
for Manchester. and kindly expostnlated
with him on the enormity of his sin, and
then added 4" But if thou wilt swear stop
till you get through the turnpike on the
moor, where none but God and thyself can
hear"
The poor fellow cracked his whip and pur-
sued his journey, but he could not get over
his masters words. Some time aftor, his
master observed him in the yard, aud was
much surprised to see him so much altered.
There was a seriousness and quietness about
him which he had never seen before and he
often seemed as If he had some mething TO say
that he could not get out. At length his
master was so much struck with his manner.

my life long. My sins came 10 my remem-
brance; and was afraid he would strike
me dead and thank God that have been
aroused to seek after the salvation of my
poor soul"
The master, as may be supposed, was over
joyed TO hear the young mans confession
and his subsequent conduct gave proof that
he had ceased TO be a slave TO sin.

The North and South, no longer divided,

tries, their nobility and royalty, will join in
our great jubilee, and while we look with adj
miration upon their contributions and ac-

in the useful and fine arts, they may per
chance receive from us more correct
views of the vigor of republic and the
power of people for self government.
The women Of all countries are invited to
participate in this celebration, not merely
as ornaments aud guests, but as contribu-
tors and managers. To give them position
of proper dignity aud independence, ii was

call discovery to set the Bible aside as an
oriental legend DO not believe them. The
Mosaic account of the creation is the most
simple and the most natural, aud will be
found, you may rely on it, confirmed by sci
ence. when science has got down to the real
facts. Generalization, founded on our
present knowledge of the laws of nature, is
the very thing which our present aequain-
tanoe with those laws does not Justify.

and settled theory will be found TO contra

This is the pride of wearing fine garments,

without needing how they are to be paid for,
yet disdaining the useful and wifely work Of
a family. Here is presented an interesting
question in ethics. The moral sense takes
different forms in different countries. The
Greek pilgrim, having bathed in the Jordan
where Christ was baptized, believed himself
sure OF heaven, and entitled to a large license
IN the conduct of life. IN Sparta il was not
so much the crime of stealing as the discov,
cry, which was culpable. In France, bank.
ruptcy is social ostracism, and in the United
States il is an event which hardly affects the
social position. The married woman Of
France who distributes her fayors to others
than her husband, may possibly be regarded
with indulgence; but if she attempts to cheat
her creditors, she is hurried before the tri-
bunals of justice. In America, she may con
nive with her husband in evading creditors
by having property transferred to her, but
she may not put stabs in the marriage con
tract. 1t is well, therefore, not to assume
moral superiority, for virtue is more or less
relative or conventional.-7h Gainry for
