SUNDAY READING.

Want Of good sense is the worst Of pc

Respect is better produced by exactine
than soliciting it.
There's not one wise man among
twenty will praise himself.
Write it on your heart that every day
is the best in The year.
No principle is more noble, as there il
none moro holy, than that Of true ole.
dience.
Hurry and cunning are the apprc,-
tices of dispatch and skill, but they new
er learn their masters trade.
Ifa fool knows Q secret he tells it be-
cause he il a fool; il knave knows one,
he tells it whenever it is his interest to
tell it.
Be not penny wise; riches have wings,
and sometimes they fly away Of them
selves, sometimes they must be set fly-
ing to bring in more.
A man who shows himself too we'll
satisfied with himself, is seldom pleased
with Others, and they, in return, are
little disposed to like him.
Let 10 not forget that every station in
life is necessary that each deserves our
respect that not the station itself but
the worthy fulfillnlent Of its duties, does
honor to any one.
My son, fix your heart steadfastly up
on the Lord, and while thy own oOll-
science bears testimony to thy urity
aud innocence, fear not the judgment q

Men are apt TO consider worldly spir-
1t only us an inflrlnity or pardOnable
failure but it is indeed the great ap0s-

not a single sin, but the whole nature Of
all sin.
To tell our own secrets isgenerally fol-

The New York Tribune has a recipe for
show to win 1854 and it is commended TO
the last Republican majority we can posi-
bly, have in congress till after the next
presidential election. 1t is FOR congress TO
do its plain duty in three great questions OF
the day. 1st. Reform the tariff by adopting
the scheme Of the Tariff Commission as a
whole. 1t has been perfected by the faithful
work Of sn admirable body OF men. 1t can
not be bettered by any hasty patchwork in
in the committee of three-months' con-
gress. End. Abolish all internal revenue
taxation, excepting on liquors and tobacco.
That simplities matters enormously, relieves
the people of petty exactions and annoy
anccs, and leaves the burdens OF taxation
where they ought TO rest--on luxuries or
vices. 3rd. Pass the best measures of
Civil Service reform attainabe. DO these
three things-every one highly desirable.
every one passible at this session if honest
work for them be begun at once-says the
Tribune, and it is not in the power of the
Democracy to prevent the election of a Re-
publican President in 1854. Neglect them
and the prospect is not encouraging.

Congressman Anderson is discussing the
question of better matt facilities before the
House, and the other day said in reply to a
member from Massachusetts, that there
sesmed to be a general impression in that
strip Of country known as New England that
when God Almighty made the boulders up
there, and framed them in with sand, and
put upon that region few OF The brightest
and brayest of the American race, He stop
ped. He did not stop. New England has
somewhere about four millions OF popula-
ton, and he rather faneied the remaining
nifty millions Of the American people were
just about as good, and had just about ms
many brains 10 the square inch as the inhab-
itants Of New England. He could see no
good reason why, if the remaining fifty
millions Of people could be accorded facili-
Ties on culinary rains, the people Of New
England could not BE contented with the
same facilities.

FEDERAL l)OURs BILL.

- oIvlT, DEC. 0, 1882.
EDITOR MONITOR: Calling attention again
10 the Fort Scott g. Wichita Federal Court
Bill, desire TO say, the Bill passed the
House last winter, and is now on the Senate
calender, and, | have to-day received as
surances. that it will certainly pass the Sep
ate. The ''entering wedge" which we se-
cured four years ago, will yet bear good
fruit The present bill was published in the
Monitor, think, last winter. IL correctly
1t provides for extending the Grim
inal laws of the United States over all that
portion of the Indian Territory not occupied
by the free civilized tribes, and names Fort
Scott and Wichita as the places where all
shall be tried. Its importance and
value TO the city, and our business men gen.
orally can hardly be oyer-estimated.

A SURPRISING BLUYDER.

There is considerable speculation among
the papers as TO the probability OF the next
legislature calling for constitutional con-
vention. Many claim that our old organic
law is out of date and not to be compared to
the new constitution Of Illinois aud other
states. Blu, 1t seems that the makers Of our
present magma e1drsa intended 1t to be as
Invaluable and as lasting as the laws OF the
Medes and Persians, and that its wisdom
should never he questioned or its provisions
annulled. All Republican constitutions
must come from the people, but the Wyan-
dotte doctors made no provision in their
work for the submission of any new consti-
tuition TO the people OF Kansas. They pro-
yided for amendments and provided for the
converting of constitutional convention,
but made no provision for the submission Of
any new constitution to the people, from
which all constitutions must emanate. What
do our lawyers think Of this assertion.
