The Value of What is Left.

There always is something left. The
tornado passes, and it is said that only
desolation remains. But it is not true.
There are fragments left; there are
foundations left; there are walls left;
the solid earth remains; there are liv-
ing people left; there remains all the
conditions out of which the wrecked
village may be rebuilt and repeopled.
Reverses strip US of capital, of estate,
of home. We say "there is nothing
left.u But it is..not true; there is always
something left. We have some cloth
ing, we have some bread; we have
some friends; we have some health and
strength and individual capacity; we
have indestructible resources within
us; there are some opportunities left;
there are infinite possibilities left.
Above is the immutable heaven. be-
meath the stable globe; the Divine
Providence is not missing, the Divine
Love is not diminished. Out of the
ruins of every autumn are made ready
the sproutings of every spring. The
winter lies cold and black between;
and from December to March "the
winter alone is king" We say, but it is
not true. There is no king but God;
there is no sovereignty but His; there
is no power that does not serve Him,
absolutely and utterly. He it is who
divides the year into its four various
parts, aud sets these parts together,
mosaic-wise, to make perfect beauty.
He it is who rejoices not less in all the
beauties of the black and bleak and
freezing weather than in the other
beauties of the spring and summer and
autumn weather. which are easier to
US. q we were but strong enough we
could stand up beside Him and rejoice
in al! that rejoices Him. Winter is
fearful only to those whom it can pinch
and cripple and crush. lie who can

These two vast empires, now being

points and encouraged by God and his
servants, to the poorest and most help

Koran there are said to be less of petit

one is the religion of encouragement,
the other the one of slavish fear and
despotic servitude. The one lifts up,
the other crushes down; the one gives
hope, strong and inspiring, the other
fetters with CALLING chains, only to
bind and crush into deeper servitude;
the one makes q happy people, the
other nation of blind 5igots, only to

As to the others, it may be fairly presumed that ''X' is "off his base" in regard to some, as he certainly is when he names Colonel Victor E. Piollet of Bradford county, Pa, among his "converts. MT lac kson Willis, a neighbor and lifelong personal friend of Colonel Piollet, is visiting in this city with his son-in- law at the corner of Grand and Cedar streets, and denies most emphatically that Colonel Piollet has changed his political bearings. Mir Willis parted with his friend only a few days since, and, in the vigorous language of 'Old Hickory" " he terms the report of his alleged icon version a d-d lie.
 It isn't of much consequence, but it may be remarked en passant that there are a good many other ''d-d lies' of the same kind afloat.
