The late Baron Stryk, Counsellor ol
State, was in the habit of uttering, on al
most every occasion, phrase which be-
came kind of proverb in his mouth
II is very possible p Not unfrequently
did he use it in the official communca-
tioEs upon matters Of state, that he wrote
to the lords of the realm, and quite as
often. likewise. did he pronounce it in
the circle Of his colleagues and to the
prime minister. Itusually happened, on
the serious and earnest enunciation Of the
Baron's proverb, that silent smile man
tied the countenances of those who heard
him-snch a smile as grows out of per-
ception of neighbours venial weakness.
This could scarcely fail to occur. for
there are many persons who see a neigh
boris weaknesses with a constantly in
creasing pleasure.


Nevertheless. Baron Stryk was man
deservedly held in high estimation and
honor. The different rulers of the coun
try appreciated him by turns, because
his varied knowledge and industry in
business enabled him to render them the
most substantial and valuable services.
Every one regarded the Baron as very
learned, and as man of extraordinary
tact, for so they considered the know
ledge OF human nature which he possess

him to be more learned than he was, and
attributed to him more shrewdness than
he had. The wisest people not Only held
him in honor and esteem. but even EN- :
tertained kind OF shyness towards him,
because we can never truly confde in
those whom we believe greater adopts in
artfulness and cunning than ourselves.
And yet, notwithstanding all this, Baron
Stryk was an inflexibly honest, a per-
fectly frank, and a remarkably conscien
tious man, and, as all confessed, without
the most distant stain of mean or dis :
honest action. Still, the very men who
acknowledged this, considered it as one
Of the strongest proofs of his fine tact,
and as an indisputable demons tration Of
his shrewdness in thus placing himself
in desirable position in the communi-
ty. They pushed their estimation of his
cunning so far as to believe him a most
adroit politician, and even veritable
prophet. And all this he owed to his
proverbial expression" u is very posi-

II will not displease our readers to be
put in possession Of some characteristic
contributions respecting man who oc-
cupiesa celebrated position in the history
Of his country. We are indebted for them
to one OF his nearest relatives, who, in
his turn, extracted them in part from a
daily journal that the Baron assiduously
kept during his earlier life. The most
material thing to be found in it is his IA
vorite expression, which is everywhere
presented" II IS very possible p
Year: 1859

Sometimes this phrase unintentionally
and impulsively escaped him, but never
without being true index of his thoughts.
Frequently it induced him, when it had
once been uttered, to examine more close
" the consequences thence resulting, and
1t thus adjusted or defined his views of
things. and, in consequence, his man ner
of acting. The proverb also exerted an
influence upon his mode of thinking, up
on his general conduct and greatly and
most decisively upon the course Of his
destiny in life. Does not this seem in
credible :? Ought any man Of intelli-
gence and understanding to believe it ?
And yet it will be found to be every
possible"


The Baron was himself well aware oi
OF this. He was not only faithful in the
greatest degree to his four words, but he
also earnestly wished that bis only son
should form the same habit. The Young
man, however. as young men generally
do. imagined his own judgment in many
things to be much better than that OF his
father, and he regarded this unreasona-
bic request as somewhat singular.


People readily pardon this sing yular
ity in you. my dear father," said he.

II, however, Baron Stryk's axiom con-
tributed strength aud stability of mind,
as well as an infexible adherence to
truth, it also sometimes brought him
many vexations. or what most people
would certainly consider such, though it
was no easy matter to disturb his equan-
unity.


As an example. he was present on one
occasion at a ministerial council where
the Elector himself was present. 1t was

Trip lightly over trouble,


Trip lightly over wrong,
We only make grief double
BY dwelling on it long
Why clasp woes hand so tightly?
Why sigh DER blossoms dead2
Why cling to forms unsightly?
Why not seek joy instead
Trip lightly over SORROW,


Though this day may be dark,
The sun may shine tomorrow
And gaily sing the lark;
Fair hope has not departed,
Though roses may have fed
Then never be down hearted,
But look for joy instead
Trip lightly over sadness,


Stand not to rail ut doom;
We've pearls to string, of gladness,
On this side Of the tomb.
While stars are nightly shining,
And Heaven is over head,
Encourage not repining,


But look for joy instead.

POLITICAL ON DITs.-We learn that General
Dodge has written a letter to a friend in this

nomination to the Vice Presidency, provided q

Judge Clagget is q prominent candidate for

told, fair show for success before the Conven-
ton. His friends think him an injured man,
aud that be can only be vindicated BY pre-
sentation Of his name to tie whole State rs q
candidate for Supreme Judge. He s also rich
and Liberal and can afford the exl use of the
canvass.


We also hear that Mr.. Corse, of this city, is
prominent candidate for Lieut.. Governor before
the Democratic Convention. Mr.. Corse is an old
settler and q good neighbor and c,llzen and we
should be glad to see him receive the honor Of

very confident it would be without results.


Baker, Of Charlton, has been named for Gov

Judge Mason would, we Are credibly n.

Judge Wilson, Of Dubuque, is willing to be

decidedly the best chance. He will, however,

Periodical Headache, or Bilious Head
ache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed for the
whole class of diseases originating in biI-
iary deransement. caused BY the Malaria
of miasmatic countries.


No one remedy is louder called for by the ne
cessties Of the American people than a sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such we are
HOW enabled 10 offer with perfect certainty
that It win eradicate the disease. and with as
surance, founded ON proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.


That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be Of immense service in the eomml-
mites where it prevails. Prevention is better than
cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he
must IN violent attacks of this baleful dis
temper. This q CURE 2 expels the nliasmatic
poison of FEVER AND AGUE from the system and
prevents the development of the disease, if taken
on the first approach of its premonitery symptoms.
1t is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints but also the cheapest.
The large quantity We supply for dollar brings it
q within the reach of every body and in bilious
districts. where FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every
body should have it and it freely both for cure
and protection. 1t is hoped this price will place it
within the reach of all = the poor as well as the
rich. great superiority Of this remedy over any





cure of Intermttents Is that it contains no Qunne
or mineral, consequently it produces quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.


Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the niasmatic poison. great variety of disorders
arise from its irritation, among which are Neural
gia, rheumatism, Gout, Headache Blindness,
Toothache, Earache Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitation,
Painful Affection Of the Spleen, Mysteries Pain in
the Bowels, COhc, Paralysis, and Dermgement of
the Stomach, all of which, when originating in
this cause put the intermittent type, or become
periodical. This 'sCURE expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all alike.
1t Is an invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing ia the
malarious districts. If taken occasionally or daily
while exposed to the infection, that will be excre-
ted from the system, and cannot accumulate in
sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it
is more valuable for protection than cure, and
few will ever suffer from Intemittents, if they
avail themselves Of the protection this remedy
affords

WASHINGTON, June /.


Attorney General Black has replied to the
joint letter of the Utah Judges, on the subject
of the military force summoned by the Judges
to protect the Court during the recent term
held at Prove City. Mr.. Black says it is the
decided opinion OF the President that the Gov
ernor of the Territory alone has power to call
out the army; that there was no apparent
occasion for the presence of the troops at
Provo that the prisoners in custody, it was
the duty of the Marshal, not the Judges, to
summon the necessary preventive force; that
the troops ought not to have been sent to Pro-
vo without the concurrence of the Governor,
nor kept there against his remonstrance; and
finally, that the disregarding of the principles
and rules of action has been in many ways
extremely unfortunate. The Attorney Gen.
eral says it is probable that the Mormons have
been guilty of crimes for which they deserve
the sevcrest punishment, and that it is not in
tended by the government to let any one es
cape, if the proofs can be produced against
any them; but the usual and established
modes Of dealing with public offenders must
be exhausted, before any others are adopted.
