The LIFE OF MEN.-Men may live in q
crowd, but they must die alone


1t is with little -souled people as it is with
narrow-necked bottles-the less they have in
them the more noise they make in pouring out


Afectation in any part Of our carriage is
lighting up candle to our defect, and never
fails to make us be taken notice of, either as
wanting sense or as wanting sincerity


UNDERsTANDING.-Men spend their lives in
trying to understand each other, and, at the
close, are compelled to acknowledge that they
cannot even understand themselves


WINNING BEHAVIOR is hardly any
bodily blemish which winning behavior will
not conceal, or make tolerable; and there is nc
external grace which ill-nature or affectatior
will not deform.


WISDOM THE SERVANT OF KNOWLEDGE
A wise man is one that knows how to turn tc
good account the knowledge which he has,
He is not wise who has mastered all languages,
all sciences, if he lacks the ability to use this
knowledge He is only stuffed


DoING.-Just thoughts may fail of produ-
cling just deeds, but just deeds always beget
just thoughts.


MORALITY. Every one owes obedience to
the laws, but still higher obligation is due to
morality; and if it so happens that both can
not be complied with it is better to do an ille-
gal act than an immoral one.

Judge not another-look within;
There you will find enough of sin;
Weeds luxuriant, rank and wild,
Many thought by sin defled;
Many a frefuI peevish feeling
o. er our better nature stealing,
Many cold ungrateful look
Warm affection scarce can brook;
Many harsh unfeeling work,
Heart-piercing as a sharpened sword.


All look within, thou need not roam,


For charity begins at home.
Judge not another, for you'll find
In dark recesses of the mind,
Hidden by self-esteem from view,
Seen by others-not by you,
Follles that make you blush when seen
By the light of conscience, faithful beam,
Drag the intruders forth to light,
And judge them by that standard bright;
Danish the beam before you try
To force the smote from anOthers eye.


Ah look within, thou need'st not roam,


For charity begins at home.
Judge not another-keep in mind
The golden rule for all mankind;
Whence er you re tempted to expose
Another's folles, think of those
That lurk within; the wish repress
Your scorn of others to express
Whene'e er to ridicule inclined,
All, think how sensitive thy mind;
Perhaps that very moment, too,
Some one may be despising you.


All look within, thou need'st not roam,


For charity begins at home.
Judge not another-keep in mind
The judgment that We to others mete
Shall be returned to you complete,
Cease then all judging till you find
No trace of error in thy mind;
Then will ye never judge again
For error ye shall still retain;
Till all your pulses cease to beat,
With error yell be found replete.


All! look within, thou need st not roam,


For charity begins at home.

The Joint Committee on Federal Relations
of the Louisiana Legislature made report
which embodies sound counsel We publish
below an extract from it:


/ eve, therefore, exhort the people to organ
ize thoroughly and take an active part in all
elections, under whatever authority they may
be held. Avoid all semblance of opposition to
the free and fair suffrage of every man having
the right to vote under the authority OF Con-
gress. 5'fzss h.s


LET there be no collisions or conflicts of any
kind.


"Avoid discussions among yourselves


Bring forward as candidates, citizens in
whose wisdom, discretion and courage you can
place implicit confidence, and whose qualifiea-
tions shall conform, as far as practicable to the
requirements of Congress. Suppress, as far as
possible, the consideration of all questions which
may lead to division of opinion among you.


Look to the character of the men whom you
elect.


'Do not seek to bind them in advance by any
particular course of policy, the wisdom and pro-
priety of which must at last be determined by
the logic of events > but leave them free and
untrammeled to act as their judgments may die
tate, for the interest and honor of the State


."Let moderation and temperance guide you
in counsel and conduct. Restrain and control
the ebullitions of inconsiderate, rash and turbu-
lent men, who may precipitate collisions from
which nothing but injury to the State and peo-
pie can possible result.


''Use all fair and legitimate means within
your power SO to influence and direct the suf-
fage as to elect trustworthy men to Office, and
thereby to prevent the power of the State from
falling into unworthy hands; but, at the same
time, be sure that your choice shall be respect
ed, and that the men so chosen, shall be cloth
ed with authority which none can question.


s'In following out the course of action here
indicated you will be called on to exercise a
spirit of extreme tolerance and forbearance; but
we believe it to be the only course consistent
with our present condition and the safety of the
State, and you will not hesitate at any sacrifice
necessary to that end.


I'm conclusion, we would say that we place
an abiding confidence in the people, and believe
that by the exercise of wisdom, prudence and
patriotism, they will so conduct the State thro
the ordeal as to command the respect offriends
and foes. . 70

1.-The undersigned appeals in behalf of the

to these people at once in order that they may be
saved from actual starvation, as they failed al
most entirely in corr crop themselves and sup
plies from other sources are cut off by the almost
unprecedented condition of the country roads and
the interruption of Railroad communication by
the washing away of bridges, &c.


This appeal is not for contributions: propose
to pay the market price in cash upon the deliv-
cry of the corn, and will hope that humane
people will not horde up the necessaries of life
from their famishng countrymen. Much good
may be done by the immediate delivery of so
bushels by each farmer ifhe cannot deliver more

A remarkable attempt at infanticide
and suicide was resorted in this city
yesterday by the passengers on the ex-
Great Eastern Railroad. A number OF
German emigrants were on board the
train on their way to the West, and
among them a woman with three chill
dren, one of whom was an infant about
eight months old. At Cincinnati she re-
ceived intelligence of the death of her
husband, which threw her into a very
desponding state of mind. One of her
relatives, who accompanied her on the
Journey, from somo inexplicable cause,
treated the poor woman very brutally,it
is said, having on one occasion struck
her in the face and blackened both her
eyes. She became half distracted with
grief ut the loss of her husband and the
i'll usage to which she was subjected.


When the train arrived ut North Jud-
son, seventy-seveR miles from this
city, the woman seized her infant and
threw it out of the window, the train
running at the rate of twenty miles an
hour. A moment afterward she herself
jumped out of the window ,headforemOst,
The passengers at once gave the Alarm
and the train was stopped.


The conductor, Mr.. g. b. Sargent, pro.
ceeded back on the track until he found
her. She had alighted on soft sandy
spot, and with the exception of some
bruises on the face, appeared to be very
little hurt by the fall. The child was NOT

passengers had seen her throw the in,

From the Gazette de France, January D.


The rumors which had been current lately
were, unhappIly, well founded. The Emperor
wthdraWs from the Legislative body the right
TO draw up an address in reply to the speech,
and the deputies of the nation will no longer
present in body the wishes and complaints of
their constituents. The Emperor will speak of
the general affairs OF the State, and the Senators
and Deputies will listen in silence. During six
years it has been believed (from 1860 TO 1867
that 1t was the duty of a Deputy to clearly and
respectfully express the opinions of those who
had returned him on the progress of affairs, at
the opening of the Chambers. What was con
sidered good in 1860 seems Objectionable In 1867
We repeat it, we are profoundly afflicted at the
suppression OF the address, for which nothing
will compensate; we do not even except the
right OF Interpolation, such as it is established


-Four bureaus out of nine are a serious him
drance,. and which in practice will show all that
liberty loses by the abolition OF the right of
address. What until now had made us doubt
the correctness of the rumOrs as to the reform
on this point is that, in our estimation the legis-
lation under which the elections of 1863 were
made ought to be maintained until the expira-
ton OF the period Tor which the deputies were
returned. 1t seems TO us that there was an inti-
mate relation between the deputy's mission and
the political conditions under which he was 10
exercise his functions. On that point we be-
lieve we faithfully express the sentiments of the
country, which certainly expected to see its
deputies retain until 1869 the prerOgatlves they
possessed in 1868, when they were named. The
other reforms announced are not sufficiently
defined for US to prOr ounce on their liberalism
before knowing the laws which will regulate
them,
