Trials are moral ballast that often pre-
vents our capsizing. When we have much
to carry, heaven rarely fails to fit the back
to the burden; where we have nothing to
bear we can seldom bear ourselves. The
burdened vessel may be slow in reaching
the destined port, but the vessel without
ballast Is IN imminent danger Of not reach
ing it at ell
1t is always safe to learn, even from our
enemies; seldom safe to venture to instruct
even our friends.

GALIMARDsS LUCK.

The recent death of the painter Galimard,
at Paris, recalls curious episode of his
career. his introduction to the favor of Ma
poleon III. Galimard had been made the
victim of savage personal attacks, which ap-
peared in the form of posters affixed to the
walls, and the like. Shortly before the coup
Getat, Napoleon, passing through the
Louvre, found himself confronted by a
scrawl in charcoal on the wall accusing him
of intending to establish an empire on the
ruins of the republic The horror-stricken
superintendent of the Louvre endeayored to
apologize, when Napoleon interrupted him,
mconcernedly:
''No words are necessary, monsieur. I
like to see what my people think of me''
''But it is infamous, NJ. lie President. In
this way, too, has the artist Galimard been
assailed"
Galimard, eh ?"
"Yes, NJ lie President"
"What has he ever painted ?"
"The Leda, there"
"Very well; monsieur, I will buy it."
And he did, and made Galimard rich and

Soxz days ago, at Vineland, New Jersey,
Delaware Bay, about twenty miles away,

vessels and steamships were distinctly seen
and traced as they glided along. Even the
pulsations of the waves were visible, the
exhibition continuing for about three-quar-
tiers of an hour, until the sun disappeared
below the horizon.

with every breath.
There was scarcely any lightning, and the
situation of the two miserable beings may
De described as being such that no horror
could be added to it Unexpectedly to them,
he raft held together, despite the fearful
xrenching as the storm increased. 1t may
have been after all that the negroes in con-
structing their frail craft "builded better
han they knew" and it was capable of sus-
aiming even greater wrenching than that to
which it was subjected.
In the midst of the terrific storm and tenn
pest, Francesca heard wild cry, and above
he frightful swirl and roar caught the sharp
pistol-ike crack of the mast as it snapped in
Two and was carried out of sight in the storm
Ind darkness.
With it went the unfortunate fellow who
lad chung so desperately and long to it, and
francesca was now alone upon the weak
support, tossed hither and thither by the
awful tempest.
Another feast was given to the sharks,
who through storm and sunshine were sure to
keep in the neighborhood of the raft, willing
to wait the little time before the remaining
victim would fall into their insatiate maws
But the elements were more merciful to
Francesca than they had been to his COM
panions. When morning dawned, the raft
was still hanging together, the storm was
abated, and he felt that his time had not yet
come.
All the succeeding day he drifted about in
an aimless manner, unable to control the
raft in the least, and with no idea of whittier
he was going. For aught he knew, the wind
and currents might be taking him directly
back to Fernando de Noronha.
If such was the fact, he was unable to
prevent it, if, indeed, he felt any desire to
do so. The storm had made short and final
work with his water and provisions, and the
rays of the tropical sun beat down upon him
with the same furious energy as before.
The days wore on, until five more passed,

REV. W. 81. II. MURRAY. who was once
famous Boston preacher and Golden Rule
editor, is now an enterprising stock raiser
in the State Of Texas. Being invited to
address the Agricultural Fair recently held
ct San Antonio he discoursed eloquently
on keeping out Of debt. and the impossi.
bility of success whore q large portion Of
the income of farmers is exhausted in pay
ing interest. He told the Texan farmers
they could never prosper in paying eight.
ten or twelve per cent. He said it was his
earliest duty, as a farmers son to help to
fight mortgage and a dreadful fight it
was, too, and for many years it was =
doubtful thing whether Murray or the
mortgage would win; and he won that 6Rht
with the mortgage only by the pinch of the
tail. The young men were told to do the
best they could, but under all circumstances
keep out of debt. His remarks in favor
Of good roads, that would enable them to
bring their produce to good markets, were
equally forc;ble. The formation Of
grand school fund was urged in the strong
est language-"You should have notmerely
some Of your people educated, but you
should have all educated, and the step to
this end shou Id be taken not five years
hence, but now this verv year, and the
foundation laid for an educational system
broad enough to cover every child and
meet the wants of Ian educational sys-

poor, but FOR every Texan child; schools
where notonly ninteon ont Of twenty shall
be taught, butthe twentieth shall be equal

right God intended for him when He mys-
teriously looked into, his eyes as he lay
cradledr in poverty. Altogether, the ad-
dress Of Mr.. Murray was superior in all re-
speots to anything OF. the kind that has
come under our notice this season.

SENATOR BECK of Kentucky is alivo to
the danger Of disputed presidential sue
eession and proposes to introduce IN the
senate a resolution upon the subject which
is identical with that introduced by sena-
tor Crittenden of Kentucky in 1856. The
resolution provides that the judiciary COM
,aittee shall investigate the subject and re-
port plan so clear as to admit Of no con-
troversy nor any question Of disputed sue
ces,ion to that high Office. That anything
practical will come from such a resolution
may be doubled from the experience Of the
past, but no;ono doubts the pressing neces-
sity for legislation upon the subject. The
late Senator Morton, and Senators Ed
munds, Bayard and Thurman, have en-
deayored, without success, to have the mat.
ter settled, and it is feared that Senator
Beck will not succeed, owing to the, culpa-
bic indifference Of congress. The danger
will become apparent enough when it is too
late to provide remedy, and possibly 1T
the next presidential election. =.

the van, and fell, fattened ont, to the floor:
He was awful glad to get back to the jail, !

the officer, "that warned him against this last
Thursday? He promised me going down to
court that day not to cut up again, and when he
began to make noise pulled him back in his
seat When we got in the marshals room at
