The Habit Of Self Control.

II there is one habit which, above all
others. is deserving of cultivation, it lis
that Of self.control. The habit of self
control is but the accumulation of con-
tinued acts Of self-denial for a worthy
object; it is but the repeated authority
Of the reason over the impulses, of the
judgment over the inclination, of the
sense of duty over the desires. He who
has acquired this habit, who can govern
himself intelligently, without painful
effort and without fear of revolt from his
appetites and passion, has within the
source of all real power and Of all true
happiness. The force and encgry which
he has put forth day by day, and hour by
hour, is not exhausted, nor even dim,E-
lshed; on the contrary, it has Increased
by use, and has become stronger and
keener by exercise, and, although it has
already completed its work in the past,
t is still his well-tried, true AMI power

" Hard Pan"

Rev. Robert Collyer delivered an ad-
dress to the students Of all Eastern col
lege, in the course Of which he remarked
that he had worked on farm, carried a
hod, sllol horses, broken stone on a
turnpike, had reaped and Graded grain,
dug we'll, cut wood, and had preached
sermons that nobody wanted to hear.
His wonderful success hal been achieved
by pure grit and honest industry. You
must dig down to "hard pan" he said,
to lay q foundation to fame and fortune.
The reverend gentleman seemed to have
drawn the most of his inspiration from
Poor Richards almanac. His apicu.
lated aphorisms may be grouped Us fol-
lows:
Any kind of an honest Job is better
than no job at all.
Take dollar day for your work il
yon can get no more.
A mans best friends are lis ten fiji
gers.
When evil days come, as evil DAYS
will, no man deserves the title of gentle
man if he does not take honest work to
do. regardless Of social influences.
When country boys come to the city,
if they can hold on to the old sweet ways,
they can defy the world
Keep your grip on the hard pan of
principle and good conduct, and you
will be men Of good name and good fort
une.
When boy fills house with bugs lie
is all right, provided he don't run after
humbugs. He has the making in him
of great naturalist.
A good farmer is better than a poor
doctor, and good horseshoer is better
than Bishop who breaches sermons
that nobody wants to hear.
A good days work of what you can
best do is the hard pan to which all
must come.
Society says one thing and nature says
another.
Work is good medicine.
Only those who make clean money
and do clean things win success.
The honest man who dies poor is rich
If he only holds his own.
Sleep eight hours out of the twenty
four, eat three meals day, aud walk on
the sunny side Of the way.
Have q reserve force that will come
out when you need it.
Don't wind up the solemnity OF court

Legal Opinion OF auiteau.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Emery Storrs, the en-
inent criminal lawyer, whose testimony was
such a surprise to the defense in Cutie aus
case, says: l think Guiteau will be convicted.
Crazy is not the right word. Nothing has so
far appeared in the case to indica.e, that he
didn't, at the time of the assassination Of the
President, and before it, and during ali the
time since than, fully comprehend the differ.
ence between right and wrong, and fully un-
derstand the nature Of the act and
Its consequences; and consequently there is
nothing tending to show that he had mot con
troll over his own couduct, and there is roth
ing to shsw that he was acting under an ir-
reslstlble impulse procse6ing from a diseased
brain or any otLel cause. The pablo are
pretty we'll convinced hat he has a very bad
Unbalanced mind; that he has not good strong
commoa sense; ami that he has an inordinate
desire for notoriety, and would stop At notl-
ing to achieve it. But | have not seen any
thing In the case to indicate that he was, in q
legal sense, sane or ins~ne. He has had a
perfectly clear comprehension of the case
rom the commencement of the trial
OF the points which were involved.
His bursts OF violence and his abuse of wit
nessss and others have been INDUCED in be-
cause he thought himself safe in 30 conduct
ing himself. Had he apprehended punish
ment of any kind for these outbursts, l have
10 doubt he would have been entirely quiet.
Judge Cox is = man Of very excellen nj stand
ing in Washington, and doubtless has bsen
proceeding upon the assumption that he
would give the prisoner the largest latitude
possible, so that there could be no error in
the record nor in the proceedings but |
have no doust that it was in his power, as it
is in the power Of every court, to maintain
common dscency and order in its proceed
ings, and that some method could be found
fer furnishing Guitesu for contempt, either
in his position as cou nselor or prisoner, which
would have been eftectual. These demon
STATIONS have hurt Guiteau's case badly.
Regarding Mrs. Scoviile's assertion in court,
that he ~(ntorrs) had PICTURED himself, he
made a brief but explicit statement: He
never even led Mrs. Ssoville to infer that he
sho2ld testify that Gui.eau was insane much
less had he ever made or even promised to
make affidavit: to that effect.

The scramble for the fruits of the late vic.
tory in Virginia has now commenced in The
happy family composing that coalition. Lieu
tenant Governor-elect Lewis has been 10
Washington to get some sort OF Endorsement
and certificate of character to present to the
Virginia Legislature in support of his claims
to be elected U. S. Senator. He says that
was the understanding if he would give the
Readjuster movement his support. A Wash
ington dispatch of the Sth says: "According to
the statement Of Lewis friends, the President
said: Il understood that a Republican Sena-
tor would be elected from Virginia if the Goa
lition succeeded, and | think the Republicans
are entitled to that much" Lewis has gone
to Richmend with authority to say to the Re-
publican members Of the Legislature that the
President desires his election, and he believes
this will compel bis nomination BY the Goa
ntionists. A Resdjaster member OF the Viz
ginia Legislature, named Moore, who de-
clarec for Riddleberger for Senator, now saws
he will vote for Lewis if the President wants
Lewis elected. Boutwell,, Dawes, Logan and
many other prominent Republicans have as
sured Lewis of their cordial support, and
.heir willingness to aid in making him Sena-
tor. The Coalition caucus will be held on
the 18th isst, and if Riddlekerger is nomi-
mated, the Republican members Of the Legs
iature may bolt" The whole Of this had a
sort of bargain and sale ring.
