IT is iuexpressibly important for
those who would take life's pill
grimage together, SO to speak, and
act that neither shall be an enigma
to the other. Suspicion is the
poisonous fruit Of misapprehen-
sion; aud countless fond hearts
have been wounded-many severed
by the reservation, unnatural to a
pure attachment, instilled by world
ly advisers. There can be no greater
bane to happiness than such ad
vice received and acted upon !;
nothing more conducive to real ell
joymeGt of life than faith in the
object loved. And who among
the good would not be frank. In
proportion as We act rightly, so
is there less incentive to conceal.

for felicity apart from openness of
word and deed.

Some of the papers in speaking of the
New Orleans Exposition call it the "Xpo.'
There may not be much in ZANE, but
the show is too stupendous to be charae-
ierized by such an undignined eognomen
as the "Xpo."-Ndtehes Democrat.
The abreyiation "Xuo" reminds
US of the lrisLman's attempt to
abreviate his little dogs tail. He
got a Yankee to hold the tail across
log while he proceeded to sever
ii in twain with an axe. just as
the axe was decending the devllish
Yankee pulled Fido a little further
and he was cut half in two. "Faith
and be Jasus! Cut fm too zhort n
exclaimed Pat, in astonishment.
"Xpo' is a like murderous attempt
at abreviatiOn.

PUBLIC opinion, as Virgil said
OF woman, is always changing, aud
it visits with killing rebnke. Els.
pecially is this the case in political
life. The reason of 1T is fast finding
out. Bot we see examples of It
every year. The breath of public
opinion blasts the reputation of one
aud the same breath bears into
power another whose back is bur.
dened with the same load under
which the first was crushed. Yet
is this no reason tor the encourage.
ment of meu to trifle with reputa.
ton or with public sentiment. 1t
is more to deserve honor and Office
than to get it, and Henry Clay
never said q braver word than
when he uttered the sentiment that
has become incorporated in the
morals of the American people 81
had rather be right than to be
President" No doubt many have
had the same principles who have
failed Of high station, and have
failed because they would not dc
what the party demanded and theil
coDciences condemned.
