When Hon. John W. Stewart of Middle
bury first took his seat in the lower house of
Congress as the representative of the First
district, in December, 1888, he received let
ter of satirical good advice from his friend,
E. ]. Phelps, which was passed around at the
time among Mr.. Stewards friends in both
houses of Congress. Since Mr.. Phelps was
made minister to England the letter has been
published, ard proves to contain the follow
ing maxims;
l. Always vote in favor of motion to adjourn; and
II the period OF adjournment is question: vote for
the longest time aud the earliest day.
Vote steadily against all other propositions what
(d) There is already legislation enough for the next
500 years. (b) No honest man wants any more. (e)
Even unconstitutional bills for the further enlarge
ment OF the negro should form no exception to this
rule.
s. Make no speeches. Nobody attends to Congress
sional Oratory when delivered. When printed
body reads II, and IL s nuisance TO the mails. have
had more than 100000 such speeches sent me- and
never read one in my life.
l. Do not allow yourselves to be drawn into asper-
sions upon the memory OF Guy FaWkes. He has been
much eensured by shallow men. History will in the
end do him Justice. Before you have been long In
Congress you will perceive that such now
adays, with better luck, might do the country more
service than hundred presidential candidates or
Christian statesmen.
s. Do not be seen much in public in the company of
Republicans. Outside of New England they are not,
rule savory. Some associations will be tolerated.
though known to exist, when decently yelled. But
there is no excuse for parading them in public.
8. Practice rigid economy. The experience of the
average CongresRman shows that Il IL possible by iu
dieous frugaiy, to about 100000 each session
out OF his salary Thus the true patriot 10 standing
by his country, makes the country stand by him.
T. Cultivate assiduously all newspaper oorrespoLd-
ents All there is of public life Is what the papers
say, and they will say anything that is made worth
their while.
8. Do not become candidate for the presidency.
The idea that the country is anxious to elect you to
that ONCE Is chimeIicsl. Nor has the country any
thing to do with 1t, except to vote as IL is told.
0. In case of doubt take the trick
10. Keep your nostrils Open your mouth shut, your
head cool and your feet warm. Avoid Congressional
whiskey, Bob 1ngersol, the game Of poker, and the
courts Of the District OF Columbia.
IL. Beware of statesmen with great moral ideas.
You will hnd immoral ideas more honest as we'll as
more interesting.
"a Whatever happens, do not relinqush hope. As
Cicero observes, nl desperanduni do not despair
You have been a respected member OF the Addi-
county bar. Resolve to regain that position Live
for the future and live down the present.

And the long spring shadows sweet shadow cast Z?
There's a maple-bud redder to-day;

They nod in II greater splendor,
When the birds fly past,

And tue long spring shadows sweet shadow cast !"
Then that may be why my thoughts all day

humanity is foreshadowed by It's highest, not
by its lowest development. We belong to
the same family to which Jesus belonged.
The life which he glorifed we share. In the
most degraded Of his race he recognized his
brothers, and when we come to see and be-
lieve this, life and Immortality are brought to
light Aud not Jesus only, but all who have
lived divinely on earth are our brothers. And
in loving them we come to know ourselves
for that which is akin to them awakens in u.s.
So out of human love the divinest hopes
spring for ''every one that lovelh is born of
God and knoweth God" On God, thus re-
vealed we build our trust
ITO him yield my spirit;
On him lay my load;
Fear ends with death beyond II
nothing see but God.
Thus moving towards the darkness
calmly wait bis call;
Seeing fearing nothing,
Hoping, trusting dH.n

quite unoonsciously. One day he gave out as

The Teacher.

The instructor of youth should be a whole man or q whole wonIan In the brOadoSt sense of the term should he high moral character and of literary habit of thought and action. No one who fakes the name Of God in vain ual der any cir cumstances, or any place, should ever be trusted with the care of children. He who cannot control his passions and speak pleasantly, though his very soul IS rent with the wavwardncss of seemingly in- conalgilile boys, ought not to nm tiertake ao mould and develop their mipds. He who does mot make books and children study has no more business to undertake teaching than hod carrier has to practice medicine or surgery; aGd he whose very soul is not wrapped up in the welfare of children has no business to touch 'one'-Mal- vern Weekly News.
 We agree with you, brother Curl that the teacher should be a whole man or wothan. Put a piece of humanity anywhere else but in the school room. But we cannot think that a teacher should always be pleasant-'speak pleasantly, " you say, "when his very soul is rent" A whole man or woman in 1 the broadest sense of the term, cannot do this-will not t,o r, be- cause duty forbids. Teachers have all forms of immortality to con tend with-somctimes even the most disgusting obScenity. Should they speak pleasantly of such things? Will their pupils respect them if they do9 No. They viii think, and justly too, that the teacher is winking at their vices in order to keep his place. They will dispise him. II the teachers 'Vcry soul is wrapped up i'll the welfare of children,' he chnn0. speak dis passionately of all things they dc and say. When you say his "very soel shonld be wrapped up in the welfare eff cllildren," you put hin in the mothers place. We'll, vt say so, too, and where is the moth CT who can speak dispassionately to her son when she finds that he has Fed, stolen, been engaged il some scheme of deceit or treach cry, or even lower vulgar vicious nesss Produce such a mother il you can ana let Der be htng Where Is the mother who will 'speak pleasantly" to her children when they are guilty ofsuch things If you can find her you will find nc whole woman in the broadest sense of the term" No, no. The "whole woman" will reveal heI displeasure with all the fervenl strength of her large soul.
 Grant the teacher His high nor al right to frown on sin, while he bears with the foibles of children with extreme patience. We do not believe that teacher should "speak pleasantly" when repre- handing oarlessness, ]sziness, in- gratitude, insolence and similar faults with which his "very soul" is tried every day. We think he should be patient and calm but not exactly pleasant with the offender. Let him smne aud be pleasant but not at all times.

We stated last week that a pc.
 tition had been filed for prohibi,
 tion within three miles of Prescott
 but the whisky men had filed their applications together with bonds and receipts for license money to the Sheriti, several days ahead of the prohibition petition. Hence the liqucr license was reached and acted upon first. The temperance people gave soaee through their attorneys and at once applied to Judge Byrne for a writ of manda mus and order to force Judge Hale 10 consider the petition for prohi. bition and to yacate the license just granted until he had consid- ed said prohibition petitier. The circuit judge issued upon the ap- pllcatlon of the temperance people, a citation commanding Judge Hale to appear before him in TeXarkana Jan. 10th, and show cause why the suit of mandamus should not 90 against him. Judge Hale with his attorneys appeared oQ the day above stated before Judge Byrne who after nearing the augment refused to issue . mandamus re. qnirng Judge Hale to yacate the license; thas sustaining Judge Hale in his rulings. The applica. ton for mandamus was withdrawn and the prohibition is nov pending and If granted it will not take eff feet until next year.
