God Our Burden-Bearer.

The cares of life thicken around us,
and what fOrg TO cast us down? to
lay us in the dust Oh no, but that we
may have something fresh to bring to
God. Some fresh tale of sorrow to tell
into Gods ear. Some fresh tear to let
drop upon His bosom. Yes, that is
what God wants, and it is just in pro-
portion as we realize this that God is
honored, and we give him his place.
And we do not give him his place until
we are content that he should take us
up, as we are, with our burdens and
failings.
There is nothing child of God finds
it so hard to do as to believe that God
is always the same, ever willing to carry
him and our God has told us, that
even to hOar hairs he will carry us, all
the day and every day, if we will only
let him do so. But we are so prone to
walk in our own strength, and so fond
of bearing our own burdens, we forget
that the prerOgative of God is to be
God. There is something very precious
in this. Do we know it Do we real
ize it? Oh, to lay hold on the truth
that God has sealed us to himself, and
sealed himself to us for everlasting
The whole power of divine life in our
own soul rests upon the measure in
which we are able thus to realize the
sustaining character of GOd.-Henry

Too True.

The Portland Advertiser, referring to
the address of the Republican Congress
sIonal committee, says: "This is all
very well, but the voters will remember
that among the reckless agitators who
have set on foot this riot, are a number
of men calling themselves republicans
William E. Chandler of New Hamp-
shire, b. F. Butler of Massachusetts,
Roscoe Conkling of New York, Timothy
U. Howe OF Wisconsin, and their sym
pathizeIs and coadjutors. When the
voters come to reckon with the dis
turbers of the public peace, they will
not forget the incendiary conduct of
these men and their backers.n Now
there is great deal of truth in the
above. There isn't the least doubt that
the conduct of the persons named, in
their spirited treatment of the
administration, has given great encour-
agement to the Tilden agitators, and
they must be held in part responsible
for the renewal of the Presidential con-
test.-St. Adams Messenger.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1878-06-07

Over half the democratic strength
thus comes from the IA southern states,
while the republicans count up only 9
districts in that whole section. The
middle states form the only division
where the Two parties are at all evenly
matched, sending 81 democrats to 81
republicans. New England has almost
four times as many republicans as DEM
Ocrats (22 to 6), and the West nearly
twice as many (69 to 36).
The democrats have an advantage in
the fight at outset. Since the last cleo
ton both Ohio and Missouri have been
redistricted in their interest. In the
Buckeye State they count on increasing
their representation from 8 of the 20
congressman to IL, IA or even Is. The
republicans seem altogether unlikely at
the best to carry over districts, which
would DC a gain for the democrats of 4
districts and 8 majority. A similar gain
is claimed with confidence in Missouri,
where the democrats say they can carry
every district-a feat, by the way, which
they accomplished in 1874. Even should
they gain but two, they would increase
to 81 the majority which the republi-
cans must overcome to control the next
House.
The talk of an active republican cam
paign in the South is dying out, and
there is little prospect of any gains in
that section. The republicans may re-
gain the one Kentucky district which
they carried in 1874, and perhaps Sc
cure another in Tennessee, but they are
quite as likely to lose one or two in
states further south. We see no reason
to suppose that the present figures in
that section will be materially changed
1t is in the eastern, middle and west
ern states that the republicans must
make their gains. The present 10 DEM
ocratic majority would require the re-
cOvery of 10 districts, and, even if the
republicans of Ohio and Missouri sue
coed, as we have supposed, in cutting
off half of the expected democratic gains
from gerrymanding, there will need to
be at least 16 districts "redeemedn in
other northern states to give the repub-
licans bare majority. One of them is
sure in Colorado, which will elect u re-
publican next fall in way that will
leave no technical excuse for turning
him out. The republicans ought to
stand a good chance for carrying the
one New Hampshire democratic dis
trict, which has never given but
meager majority against them, the Bos-
ton district which Mr.. Field really car
ried two years ago, and the Hartford
district in Connecticut, which gave but
l4S democratic majority at the last
election. But this leaves still dozen
at the very least to be gained in the
middle and western states.
If the democrats had kept out of the
investigation middle, we do not believe
the republicans could have gained the
next House. The disgust which their
performances have already aroused, the
suspicion that their continued ascenden-
cy might mean serious attempt to re-
open the presidential controversy, have
probably done the business for them.
But the republicans have still good
deal of work to do, even after all the
help of the democratic blunders, as an
examination of the figures we have
given will shOw.-Sprinqtfeld Repubk-
can.

The OLD Trick WOULDN'T Work
A well known SacramentOan, who had
been out with "the bOysn until three
o'clock in the morning, felt trifle un-
easy as to what his wife would say on
the subject, and determined to adopt a
little piece of strategy. He entered the
house cautiously, noiselessly removed
his boots, and then made his way to
their bedroom. He was not so obfusti-
Gated but that he knew it would be
dangerous to attempt to get into bed,
so after disrobing he took np position

Party Prospects for the Next House.

The present House consists of I56
democrats, 135 republicans and Gen.
Butler-292 members, the Louisiana
seat made vacant by Judge Leonard's
death having never been filed. Count
ing the uncertain third party with the
republicans, and the democrats have
just 20 majority, when Beverly Doug
las and the other fellows who are apt
to be nearer some other bar than that
of the House are all in their seats.
With the vacant Louisiana seat filled
by the republican elected to it, the ma
jority would be 10. This majority, by
the way, is almost double what the par
ty is entitled to, several election con-
tests having been decided with gross
unfairness.

ent sections will appear at a glance

Boys.

Much might be written of the differ
ences between girls and boys, but |
have made up my mind that Il boy is
from the first Il most unaccountable be-
ginning of man. Let me illustrate :
| send Johnny to bring me an article
from another room. He draws up into
position an imaginary shooter of some
kind, and takes aim at the door, which
after squirting at it long enough to try
your faith in him, he shoots through,
and You listen to the thumps and noise
Ofhis proceedings till he appears, empty
handed.
"Now, Johnny, you've forgotten what
you went for"
"Not much p and he pulls it out from
his pocket. This is his usual style of
trying your confidence to seem to have
failed, and then surprise you with the
contents of his pocket; and what this
cannot hold, money will not buy, i. e.,
his money. | send him to lay the fire.
He is gone so long | look to see what he
can be doing. He laughs queerly. He
is building a dollhouse in the stove to
see it burn down, and when discovered.
calls out, '"The great American fire of
the age"
Sometimes you think his short COM
ings and his long stayings are wilful
disobedience, and sometimes indiffer-
ence, until you are forced to some new
explanation by his missing an invitation
to tea and Thanksgiving dinner, both
within week, it seemed for no more
malicious reason than to play a minute
longer.
One trait most peculiar to a bov. and
against which | have used every secret
of his nature, is the desire to beat ''I1l
dare you to do this ~ is a challange
which puts everything to flight. A
company of boys make an appointment
to be at the raj road when the cars are
to pass by. One has piece of iron or
an old coin to lay on the track, to see
what will come of it. Another has two
pins he lays down crosswise to have
fiattened into scissors, While waiting.
boys are at disadvantage, so thew be-
GIN to try one another, saying:
"YOu wouldn't dare cross that track
after the cars are in sight.n
"Oh no he is too big coward for
thatw
So Johnny goes over at most dan
gerous nearness to show how brave
he is.
Often when you would get the per-
formance of an extra service from him.
you must appeal to that kind of pride
which winces under shame, rather than
to his energy. For instance. he is
troubled to keep clean hands, and saw
to him, Johnny is getting big; he en-
ploys colored hands to do his work. to
turn over leaves, to put victuals in his
mouth, and to rest his head upop.n Bv-
and-by, when he thinks himself upob-
served, he makes a turn which brings
in black hands turned off for white. with
a sly look of being master of the occa-
sion.
Again I've noticed in boy some in
dicatiOns to confirm what l have often
thought of the different effects of dis
appointment, trouble or intense occu-
patton and ambition upon men and
women. JOhnny's sister went to a dis
tant city for a visit of some months.
