There was no man in New York who
united more elements of popular power, or
who could have used them more ably for

seeking for leadership except in his chosen
profession. He had other advantages IA
thorough mastery of the principles OF law,
a wide and varied acquaintance with almost
every branch Of liberal science aud art.
He had wonderful facility of Illustration,
rare power Of analysis, sometimes seeming
to be q creative power. Admirably balan-
ced IN mlhd, he rarely mad to retrace
step. The ease With which he seemed to
bring about his effects drew attention from
the means by which be produced them
His great achievements were in tellectual
In reading his speachcs one was struck
with the compactneSS and perfection of tho
argument. He never exhausted all his re-
sources in one speech. All who had
known him would cherish his memory,
even in their latest day."

REPUBLICAN RE-ORGANIZATIoN.-
Following close upon the breach among
radical and conservative Republicans in
Virginia and Tennessee, which resulted
in the recent triumphs of liberal prlncl-
Piles in the South, we have the news
from New York city that the new Re
publican organization, called the Union
Republican Central Committee, has
held an adjourned meeting, and issued
an address to the Republicans of New
York city and State, setting forth the
causes that have led to the present
movement, and detailing the corrupt
practices of other Republican organiza-
tions. The main object Of the new par
ty organization, as set forth in tho ad-
dress, is to express, the disgust the
mass Of the Republicans at the
frauds perpetrated in the district as
sociations in which the little cliques
of thrco or four have kept entire control
of such associations, and prevented that
"reform in the party in New York so
vital'y essential to save it from ruin and
give it prosperity and success"

A cotemporary truly remarks that
there is as much connection betTeen
the words and thoughts. as there is
between the thoughts and actions,
The latter is ouly the expression Of
former, but they have a power to
reach upou the soul, and leave the
corruption there. A young man who
allows himself to use ono vulgar or
profane word has not only shown
there is foul plr,e opon his mind,
but by the appearance of that word
he extends that spot, and iufames it,
till, by indulgence it will pollute and
ruin the soul. Be careful Of your
words as of your thoughts.


Ifyou can control the tongue SO
improper words are pronounced by it,
you will soon be able to control the
mind and save it from corruption.
You extinguish the fire by smother
ing it, or by preventing bad thoughts
bursting into language. Never utter
word which you would be ashamed
to speak in TIE presence of the most
re6nd female or the most religious
man. Try this practice a little lit
tie while. and yod will soon have
