There is much food for thought in that
eouplet The other day I was search
ing for something to read-glancing over
the different volumes at last I came to
one containing the following:
There are people IN the world who
think their lives are we'll employed in
" collecting shells; there are others less
" satisfied to spend theirs in chasing
" butterflies. For my own part, I al.
ways preferred animate to inanimate
nature; and would rather post to the
antipodes to mark a new character,
"or develop a singular incident than
" become fellow Of the Royal Society
BY enriching museums with monde
scripts" The last few lines struck a
corresponding note in my own nature,
for to me the human soul is the richest
of mines, the human heart more intri-
cate than the Cretan labyrinth. and it
has often struck me how little allowan
is made for the errors, the crimes COM
mitted. Each soul, each heart has diff
ferent capacities for suffering. for en-
joying, for resisting. We see naught Of
the awful conflict within, to our sight is
only given the result, and on it We found
our judgment. IF Justice could only
sometimes see and Mercy's hand be un-
tied how much better it would be. II
is divine to forgive" and yet 1t is in
our power to do the same.
Tillotson says "a more glorious victo-

on his part, the kindness should begin
on ours A good many Of US lose sight
of this.
As is known, the Primary elections
took place on Saturday. Sept. 22nd. I
make it point to keep clear Of politics.
It is seemingly quiet lake, but have
known many boat wrecked on its
treacherous waters. Last week was an
important one and the election seemed
to make it little Corrugated, as once
heard lady remark wf,ese hands were
reak beneath their diamond load, and
yet, strange to. say, they always gravi-
tated to her face or some conspicuous
place. II was singular, wasn'tit.
On Tuesday the Convention was held
three Delegates were elected as has
been noticed. My idea of true patriot
is one whose personal feelings are sub
merged into the desire to promote the
interests Of his State, county or coun-
try. Alas patriots are rare.
Inotice Preparations are being made
to begin the construction Of the-what
shall I call its-house to contain the
FIRE extinguishers. 1t Is q consolation
to those who live in that neighborhood
to have 50 near tire reminder that the
hre-hends enemy is close, to do and
dare. II is well to have remedies on
hand in case Of accident.
The curiosity or attention, which.
ever It may be, that my hastily prepared
chats excite, reminds me Of little in
