REST ATLAST

On Thursday morning the forty-ifth Con-
gress laid down the cares of legislation, and
tue members are already arming for the COM
ing campaign. 1t is very difficult task to
sum up the result of their labors since Decem-
Der last. 1t has, however, been particularly
fruitful in display Of political treachery and
corruption, and has given publicity to numer-
Gus hideous tales Of violence. Their almost
very lsst &C, Is to seal the bargain that has
given to.the nation as its head the most com.
plete yet iamesi Of frauds.
The past session has kept the country In a
continual state of excitement and alarm. The
financial question was accompanied by gloomy
forebodings Of total ruin, which were no less
false than exciting the action upon the army
bin was also attended by the grows and fears
OF the supporters of would-be aristocracv ;
The tariff question has dubbed in the caul.
dron, the presidential uncertainty has haunted
the deliberations Of the sages until the coun.
try has grown sick'of the pale faces and III,
sowardly fears Of those who shout Revolution
and REORGANIZATION, and as the curtain fall,
upon the last act we catch gimpses Of tab
leau Of the committees handing in "seriou
charges" against directors of miuis aud tn
officials OF the navy, Of which IL will be sal,
another revolution is imminent.
All are glad that the adjournment has com
at last, the regret being that the time is s.
short between now and the next session. To
much Legislation is whatevery body and every
thing are tired Of. A tragedy now aud then
enjoyed, but so great has been the corruption
Of Radical administration that Congress ba
net been able 10 move step without siumb
ling over the ill-concealed secrets Of polili
cal tragedy. low sort Of tragedy il ha
been and SO mdch Of il that ia the interim be

One House Of Representatives passes a reso-
luton declaring Tiden 10 be legally elected
President, but counts Hayes in notwithstand-
ing. The next House passes a resolution say
ing that Hayes is President because the previ-
Gus House counted him in. The conclusion to
bereached by such legislative reasoning is that
" 10 safer to be counted in than 10 be Presi-
dent, and that the fourty-fourth Congress es-
tablished little Office to be known as counted
In in lieu of the old institution of the presi.
dency. This is the logic Of politics.

THE AGE OF OUi, PLANET.

Science has already demonstrated
the futility of any attempt to set def
mite limits to the age of our Planet.
When an advocate of the "recent" age
of the earth, like Sir William Thomp-
son, assigns the date of the earth's
consolidation to period between 90
OOO,O0o and 400.CCo,O0O years ago,
metes and bounds become inapplicable
When, moreover, we take into consid-
Grafton the countless ages required for
the eaath to form, reform, and trans
form itself. and prepare for the recep-
ton of the lowest forms of life, the
elevation and submergence of eonti-
nents, before America assumed her
present physical conformation and to
take single instance, while we reflect
that the Falls of Niagara have been
receding from Lake Ontario for over
5000 years, any attempt to circum-
scribe within period of sixty centu-
ries, all the changes of the earth and
universe seems worse than folly. The
rational belief, however, in reverently
tracing the development of great
law as disclosed in the manifest de-
signs of the great Law-giver. with
whom 1000 years is but as yesterday,
cannot fail to be conyinced OF the
puerilty of any attempt to apply a
finite standard TO the workings of the
Infinite.

| Box,s COMPOSITION ON GIRLS.


Girls is the only folks that has their
own way every time. Girls is of sew
eral thousand kinds and sometimes
one girl can be like several thousand
other girls if she wants to do anything.
Girls is alike one way, they are all like
cats. If you rub 'cm the right way
Of their hair they'll purr and look sweet
at you, but if you rub 'em the wrong
way or step on their tails, they'll claw
you. So long as You let a girl have
her own way she's nice and sweet, but
just cross her and she'll spit at you
worse nor a cat. Girls is also like
mules. If a girl don't want to believe
anything you can't make her. If she
knows its so she won't say so. Brother
George says he doesn't like big girls,
bnt he does like little ones, and when
l saw him kissing Jennie Jones last
Sunday and told him of what he'd
said, he said he was biting her cause
he don't like her. think he hurt her
for she followed and run, and there
was a big red spot all over her two
cheeks. This is all know about girls
and father says the less I know about
them the better off I am.

HOW TO HE HANDSOME.

Most people would like to be hand
some. Nobody denies the great pow
er which any person may haye who
has handsome face and attracts you
by good looks, even before word has
been spoken. And we see all sorts of
devices in men and women to improve
their looks.
Now, all cannot have good features
they are as God made them-but al
most any one can look we'll, especially
with good health. 1t is hard to give
rules in very short space, but in
brief these will do.
Keep clean-wash freely. All the
skin wants is leave to act freely, and
it takes care of itself. Its thousands
of air holes must not be closed.
Eat regularly, and sleep enough
not too much. The stomach can no
more work all the time, night and day
than horse. 1t must have regular
work and rest.
Good teeth are help to good looks
Brush them with soft brush, espec-
tally at night. 60 to bed with clean
teeth. Of course to haye white teeth
it is needful to let tobacco alone. All
women know that. Washes for the
teeth should be very simple. Acid
may whiten the teeth, but it takes oil
the enamel and Injuries them.
Sleep in cool room, in pure air.
No one can have a cleanly skin who
| breathes bad air. But more than all
in order to look well, wake up mind
and soul.
When the mind is awake, the dull,
sleepy look passes away from the
eyes. / do not know that the brain
expands, but it seems SO. Think, and
read, not trashy novels, but books and
papers that have something in them.
Men.say they cannot afford books,
and sometimes do not even pay for n
newspaper. In that case it does them
little good, they feel so mean while
reading them. But men can afford
what they really choose. If all the
money spent in self-induIgence, in
hurtfnl indulgence, was spent i'm books
and papers for self-improvcment, we
should see change. Men would grow
handsome, and women toO.~ The soul
would shine out through the eyes.
We were not meant to be mere ami
NAL. Let MS have books and read
them, and sermons and heed them.

..e a creator. rather than


to Dulfow. instead of welding the
rusted sword of valorous forefathers,
let him forge his own weapons, and
conscious of the God in him and the
Providence over him, let him fight
his own battles with his own lance.
Instead of signing for an education,
capital, for friends, and declaring that
"if he only had these he would be
somebody" let him remember that, as
Horace Greeley said, he is looking in
the. wrong end of the telescope that if
he only were somebody he would
speedily have all the boons whose
absence he is bewailing. Instead of
being one Of the foiled potentialties of
which the world is so full-o1e of the
subjnnctive heroes, who always might
conld, would, or should do great
things, is what nobody can understand
let him be in the imperative mood
and do that of which his talents are
indicative. This lesson of self-reliance
once learned and acted on, every man
will discover within himself under
God, the elements and capacities of
usefulness and honor, "Getting on in
the world"
