The bill to pay the College Of William

buildings burned in the late war was the
text Friday for a number of eloquent ct,
forts-we believe that is the approved
phrase-in the House Of Representatives,
MIR. Goode of Virginia paid some elabor-
ate compliments to Massachusetts,, which
Mr., Loring of the latter State returned
with interest in that mellow oratory which
has been the delight Of Yankee cattle
fairs from time immemonal. Into these
swelling harmonies of conciliation broke
rude discord in the shape of Messrs,
Reed of Maine and Townsend of N. Y.
State. The Maine man saw in the bill
the entering wedge that would pry open
the Treasury doors before the innumera>
BILE caravan of Southern claims; and the
New Yorker suggested that, if Virginia
didn't want her college and other build>
ings burned, Virginia shouldn't have
played with the fire Of secession. The
debate was not.

-ipgmen at Ghant.- latter reunion had
approved the railway strike in the United
States, bad voted in favor Of abolishiDg
the present system of wages, and had ad
Vocsted an International confederation Of
trades unions. In an address which waa
forwarded to the assembly about 10 be con-
vened at Leicester tho latter was asked to
adopt the following resolution:

mixing the ncoessity of . ooDfsderscy on tue
part of trades unions in all countries in order
to austain the stroggle Of the proletariat
against tho dominant olasess. instruots each
OF Its mem bers to direot all it's Efforts to that
end.
This resolution was read at Leicester and
ordered to be entered on tho minutes, but
further confederation of the motion was
adjourned on the ground that the delegates
at Ghent had entered into political qnes-
tioas. By this action the British trades
oniors indicated their resolve tO confiue
themselves to economic ncatters. The same
purposo -as fietiDctly brought ont in the
discourse of Mr.. MeIrick, the President of
the congress. The WorkiDgmeu of Great
Britain, he said, would repudiate any
measu,o which should tend to prejudice
ssid, the principle of individual owner
ship. In another passage OF his speech the
President referred to ar rDitration as q means
Of settling the continual disputes between
the operative aud his employer. The sys-
tenn had been tried, he stated, in some parts
of England, with entire success, and al
though The decision had frequently been
against the workipemen, the latter had still
preferred this plan TO the .hardships epgen-
dered by a strike. Mr.. Merrick undertook
to demonstrate also that wherever trades
uniona are most Aourishipg, there pauper-
ism has declined. We are not prepared to
dispute this assertion, but We should have
liked to soc it supported by proofs and
statistical documents. And here We may
say that the congress of trades unions
might do well to follow the custom Of other
analogous reunions, and by chosing its
the preparations Of an exhaustive and use

You keep by you, you may change and
mend but words once spoken can never

no lees strikingly: "When a word has gone
from you, a wagon and Elk horses cannot
bring it back" The inspired assurance is
that our words will endure till the judg-
meut day.
Moet persons talk too much. Reform is

1t is a great evil that the tongue is often
active and vigorous, when all the other
powers arc comparatively feeble-as mem
ory, Judgment, Coincidence, or even bodily
organs, SUCH as hands aud feet. Nothing
which Thomas Watson charges in his
favorite sermon on The Tongue, which in
addition to being silent when it ought to
speak, is earthly, hasty, vain, censorious,
elauderous, unciean, lying, ietteTing, beast
ing, swearing, railing, seducing, cruel,
murmuring, ecofang, cprsing, all OF which
seventeen indictments he proves and illus.
trates. After that, one can zee the need Of
the Improvement" with which good
sermons ended about 1862, and of which
the following is a part:
God hath set double hedge before the
tongue; the teeth and lips, to keep it within
