feel in myself the future life. I am like
the forest which has been more than once cut
down. The shoots are stronger and ivelier
than ever. I am rising, know, toward the
sky. The sunshine is on my head. The earth
gives me its generous sap, but Heaven lights
me with the reflection of unknown worlds
You say the soul is nothing but the resultant
of bodily powers. Why then. is my soul the
more luminous when my bodily powers begin
to fail? Winter is on my head and eternal
spring is in my heart. Then / breathe, at
this hour, the fragrance of the ilacs, violets
and roses as at the age of twenty. The near
or I approach the end the palmer I hear
around me the immortal symphonies of the
worlds which invite me. 1t is marvellous yet
simple. 1t is fairy tale. and it is history.
For half a century have been writing my
thoughts in prose, verse, history, philosophy,
drama, satire, ode, song-I have tried all.
But feel that have not said the thc-sandth
part of what is in me. When I go down to the
grave lean say, like SO many others, II have
finished my days work" but I can not say, 81
have finished my life" My days work will
begin again next morning. The tomb is not
blind alley; it is thoroughfare. 1t closes
in the twilight to open with the dawn. i'm
prove every hour, because love this world as
my fatherland, because the truth oompels me,
as it compelled Voltaire, that human divinity.
My work is only beginning. My monument
is hardly above its foundation. / would be
glad to see il mounting and mounting forever =
The thirst for the infinite proves infnity.

Another Timely Truth.
New York Sun. I


WASHINGTON, March 16-Louis XI. of
France said that he who does not know how
to dissimulate, does not know how to govern.
The maxim of that willy monarch seems to
have found much favor at Washington last
spring, for never before in the history of par
ties was deception more vigorously practised
than at that time, even at the sacrifice of vol-'
untary pledges and of personal honor.
When the true history of those months
written by competent hand-and it woul
have been written had Garfield lived TO CON
front the truth-there will be q sensation
quite equal to that which has just shocked the
public mind by treaohery in another form. j
1t is capable of positive proof that the late,
President invited Mr.. Conkling to friendly
conference at the White House, which closedS
by the assurance that no changes should bel
made in the Collectorship of New York, or in
other important offices there, without first
consulting him. They parted on the best
terms, and with this perfect understanding.
The next NOR, ing Judge Robf rtson was nom-
mated Collector of the Port. and Mr.. Conkling
was doubtless, as much astounded at the nom
ination as Gen. Rosecrans was at the publica-
tion of Gen. Garfeld's letter to Dir. Chase.

Welded TO LAURA.-She was beautiful. he
loved her dcvotedly, and happiness seemed to
pervade their every act. But trouble came.
Sickness paled Laura's blooming checks, dulled
her sparkling eyes, enfeebled her constitution.
emaciated her beautiful form, unstrung her deli
cate nerves and untitled her for active life.
With an aching heart her husband consulted
doctors, administered their medicines and talk
ed with friends. Notwithstanding all this care
and attention, there appeared no relief for her
aching head, that painful back. that irregular
uterine action and that emsciation. Another
friend called who had seen such sickness and at
once suggested the use of Dr.. Dromgoole's
ENGLISH FEMALE BITrERs, as he bad known 1t to
cure similar cases. Her husband procured it at
once and placed her upon its use. He soon had
the satisfaction of seeing Laura restored to
health again.

Our friend Major Burke, Of the Times
Democrat, is just now enjoying more -
hi. share Of that peculiar luxury Of live ~
libel quit. ds has some dozen &c
more Of these intsA Aestjhg and complimentary
cases hanging over tim. demanding damages damage
in sums ranging an@he way up from $1,000 to
$4,000. Thi. makes him as proud as the
editor of the Deyiver Tribune, who boasts Of
having suits fired against him calling for an
Aggregate OF s1,l00,0OO One of Major
Burke's salts came to sort of preliminary
conclusion the other day. McLean's claim for
$4,000 was found by a jury to be too much,
and they awarded him one dollar. This sum
the defendants counsel think excessive, and
they will ask for new trial, and if defeated
again will go up to the Supreme Court. When
Mac gets that dollar he will appreciate its
value.-TN o. City Item.

Children frequently make original applica-
tions of Scripture texts or trite proverbs. A
little girl four years old. daughter of the rector
of a church in neighboring city, had 10 cents
given her to spend. She made some foolish pur-
chase which was in pieces before she reached
home. Her father had a long talk with her. and
inp the course Of it quoted. "a fool and his
money are soon parted" impressing the lesson
by every means he possessed. Some Sundays
after, in Sunday School, the plate being passed.
she had to think for text to say as is the Gus
tom on making the contributions. Finally
dropping her money into the plate she recitrd
triumphantly, "A fool and bis money are soon
