A despatch from Vienna to the Times ex.
plains that difficulty has arisen because the
Porte, before granting a prolongation of the
armistice, desires the Powers 70 give their
opinion IN regard to its peace propositions.
The Powers on the other hand, persist in
demanding the concession of the armistioe
irrespective Of Ibis condition, because az they
have from the commencement insisted that an
armistice was indispensable they consider 1t
would be derogatory to admit any sort of COM
promise on the subject.
The Powers also intend this attitude as q
concession TO Russia, she having throughout
the negotiations determinedly supported an
unconditional armistioe.
As the term for which the present suspen.
sion Of hostilities has been granted draws to 3

pressing, some Of them having tolerably plain.

expected that to gain time for negotiations
Russia will stop the despatch of soldiers to
Servia, when Turkey will no longer object to

SLAxpER a DIsEAsE--The Jewish
Messenger, at New York, discourses
forcible about this fell pest. 1t OBJ
serves that when we examine "tbe hu.
man form divine" we find that the
tongue appears to have been especially
guarded by what may be termed two
oreakwaters, the teeth and the lips, so
that il should not pass them without a
struggle for the mastery; yet, totally
unmindful of consequences, it passes
the. guards and ruasa giants race to
indulge in utter loquacity and Islander.
IL is = disease of so vitulent character
that, even in days Of old, it appears 10
have prcmeated society, even to endan-
gering life. 1t was not without q pur-
pose that Isiaels sweet singer warned
people against employing their tongues
TO SANDER their neighbors, showing
the results in the following emphatic
sentence: "WhG is the man that de-
sire:h life, loveth many days, that lie
may SET happipess' Guard thy tongue
from evil, and thy lls from speaking
deceit" No one had suffered mole
from the effects of SANDER than David;
hence, as experienced is the les; teach
er, the shepherd king was decidedly
the safest instructor. II admonition Of
this character, however, were needful
in the undeyeIoped days Of David, how
much more so must il be in this modern
fas. age-in this day ola thousand ia-
cili,ies for the utterance of lies ana
pnclean gabble by endless sPeech-mak-
ing and circulation Of the same by
railroad and telegraph and multiplied
printing. Guard thy tongue, in the
press and out Of i'm The Legislature
and out of it-and especially IN the
family circle.
