Temper imprints its marks upon
the countenance and speedily reveals
the character of the disposition which
Turks behind it. Being a growing
and vigorous power, it gradually
overcomes every obstacle which
stands in the way of its observation.
1t wrinkles the brow, lowers the eye
brows, bends the curve Of the mouth,
and pouts the lips whenever it is of a
disagreeable and selfish nature.
Cultivate beauty of the soul, for the
course of feeling engendered by a
kind and generous character will al
ways give life and permanent anima-
ton to all the lines of the face.

The President Deals Another Blow at
the Star BoyferS

tho Star RouterS.
The Administration seems to be
determined to continue the prosecu-
ton of the Star Reuters with new
vigor. On Nov. 25th, the President
removed Marshal Henry, of the Dis
trict of Columbia, Postmaster Anger,
of Washington City, Assistant Post
master M. M. Parker, Foreman Helm
of the Congressional RECORD, and
Geo. Spencer, one of the Commis-
sioners Of the Union Pacific Railroad.
The President made these removals,
it is stated, by the advice of Attor-
ney General Brewster and Mr.. Bliss,
who are conducting the case for the
Government against the Star Reuters,
on the ground that the officers re-
moved were in sympathy with the
accused. 1t is also rumored that Dis
trict Attorney Corkhill, Superintend-
ent Rounds of the Government print
ing office, H. J, Ramsdell, Register
of Wills, and Detective McElhesh,
will shortly be. removed for the same
reason. The country will approve
the action of the President in what
ever steps are necessary to bring the
Star Route rascals to justice. "Let
no guilty man escape" should be the
answering purpose Of the Admins
tration.

The wind-fower and the violet, they per-
ished long ago,
And the wild rose and the orchis died amid
the summer glow;
But on the hill the golden rod, and the
aster in the wood.
And the yellow sunhower by the brook in
au5umn beauty stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear cold heaven,
as falls the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was gone
from upland glade and glen

Congress met last Monday, and it
is to be hoped the Republican ma
jority will have the good sense to do
something to regain the confidence
of the country which was lost by the
unwise legislation of the last session.
The notorious jobbery of the River
and Harbor Bill, which was passed
over the Presidents veto, and the
failure to reduce taxation and modi-
fly the tariff, were fatal blunders, and
no time should be lost in repairing
them as far as possible at the present
session. Altho ugh the session will
be short one, much may be done in
three months if the Republican lead
ers prove equal to the occasion.

Robs of it's odors none so sweet flower,
In all the blooming waste it left behind,
AS that the hweet-briers yield it; and the

Vets not rose that buds in beauty's bower
One half so lovely yet it grows along
The poor girls pathway, by the poor mans
door.

There seems to be some hitch in
the trial of Arab Pasha, as it has not
yet commenced. Some of those best
informed in Egyptian affairs do not
hesitate to say that the Khedive and
Sultan are secretly conniving to
have him acquitted while protesting
to be anxious for his punishment. 1t
is believed that if the trial goes on,
some very damaging disclosures will
be made duplicating the Sultan and
Khedive in Arabi's plans. The re-
cent demand of a portion of the
Egyptian army to be led by Arab
against the False Prophet is thought
to be a ruse on the part of the Khe-
dive to secure the liberation of the
rebel leader.
