1HS my No NfSiJ nun 10 At' thought.

 Appointments once made become debts.

 Feeling is no criterion of right or wrong.

 Advcrsity is the balance to welgh friends.

 Ignorance is q subject for pity; not laughter.

 A knowledge of mankind is nee essary to acquire prudence.

 Choose those companions who ad- minister to your improvement.

 Truth is hid by great depths, and the way to it does not appear to all the world.

 Conversational powers are suscep- tible of great improvement by assid- uous cultivation.

 The friendships of youth are founded on sentiment; the dissen, tions of age result from opinion.

 Flowers sweeten the air, rejoice the eye, Ink us with nature and in nocence and are something to love.

 The business of life is to go for ward; he who sees evil in prospect meets it on the way; but he who catches it by retrospect, turns back to find it,

 Affections, like spring flowers, break through the frozen ground at last, and the heart, which seeks but for another heart to make it happy, will never seek in vain.

 It IS very pleasant to sec some men turn round, pleasant as sudden rush of warm air in winter, or the flash of frelight in the chill dusk; :; they shed radiance on all around them.

 All useless misery is certainly folly, and he that feels evil before they come may be deservedly cen sured, yet surely to dread the future is more reasonable than to lament the past.

 Mountains never shake hands. Their roots may. touch, they nay keep together some way up, but at length they part company, and rise into individual, isolated peaks. So it is with great men.

 The beginning of hardship is like the first taste of bitter food-it seems for a moment unbearaatIssssyset, if there is nothing else to satisfy our hunger, we take another bite and find It possible to go on.

 A great mind is like an elephant in tue ancient line of battle-the best ally if you can keep him in the ranks, fronting the right way; but if he turns about he is the deadliest foe and trcads his master underneath his feet,

 

 In young, childish, ignorant na lures there is constantly Q blind trust in some unshapen chance; it is as hard to Q boy or girl to believe that Q great wretchodness will actu, ally befall them, as to believe that they will die.

 Strong, skillful men arc often the gentlest to the women and children; it is Q pretty sight to sec them carry ing little babies as if they were no heavier than little birds; and the babies always seem to like strong men the best.

Daring the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will be effective agency than for telling
the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the war closed it has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
But it saw two years ago, and the first persist
emily to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance OF the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger il sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislkcs, and set the example. Il called for an end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy;
and for the hcartiest agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back every doubtful state has been
won, and the omens for National victory never
more cheering.


THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION


OF The Trbuncs share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who have most of the
struggle. 1t will faithfully portray the Warming
phases of the campaign now beginning. 1t will
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union
and Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
and surest to make good President. But iii this
crisis 1t can conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by The Solid South
and Tammany Hall.


The Tribune is spending much labor and
money than before to hold the distinction has
enjoyed of the largest circututiOH amOng tie best

coming the medium OF the best thought and the
voice Of the best conscience OF The time by keeping
abreast Of the highest progress, avorng the rcecst

the best Intelligence and the purest morality and re-
fusng carter to the tastes OF the vile the preu
diccs of the ignorant.

those best informed expected anything OF ths hnu

been somewhat successful In their new homes.

One Of the most distressing diseases to

ducing heavine8s, dullness, and an acrid
discharge both by the way of the nose and
by way of the posterior passage TO the

who do not know by experience some of the
symptoms of this disease, and upon many
it has fastened its elf with tenacity which
defes the skill of the ordinary physician.
The hawking and splitting for which
Americans are sometimes ridiculed by for
eigners, are due to this disease, produced
by the peculiarly changeable nature of our
climate, on account of which colds are con-
tracted, and settle in the head AID pass
thence to the throat and lungs.


From the details given of Rev. L. Z.
Childs' treatment,it seems to be easily ap-

A breach of politeness, and one
which is most annoying TO refined
and sensitive people, is the very gen
eral habit of interrupting ones con
versstion The impunity with which
this is done has degraded rational
conversation, which ought to be the
charm of social intercourse into q
farce. A man or woman who ha;
anything to say that is worth saying,
desires to say it in his or her OWE
way; and those who have brains to
appreciate it, will be equally desirous
of hearing it without interruption.
Yet ii is common thing for parlor
conversation to partske more of the
babbel of Babel than conversation
among rational beings who are sup
posed to know and appreciate what
each other says One begins TO re-
late an incident, aod before be has
finished two sentences some parrot in
fine clothes chimes in with her sense
less gabble, breaking the thread Of
discourse and compelling the narrator
to begin again or abandon the at
tempt to instruct or entertain


This is the grossest impoliteness ;
but il is as common an occurrence as
conversation itself 1t is hardly too
much to say, that nine out of every
ten people who indulge in this habit
are incapable of carrying on any use
ful topic, and they indulge in these
breaches of etiquette by way Of COW
ering their retreat and hiding their
ignorance.


We suggest to young people, and
old ones, too, for that matter-that
here is promising field for social re-
form. Never interrupt conversation
by interfering remarks, however sp-
propriate and witty thew may seem.
All sensible people will respect you,
and conclude that you have good
sense and know how to use it to the
best advantage.

The new President of the Republic


starts with many advantages. Europe has


no fear of the Republic as it had in 1848,


when the eyangelists of social and political


revolution spread terror from one end of


Europe to the other. The new govern


meDt is peaceful, and its institutions, as NJ.


Gambetta said, are not intended for ex-


port Fer the first time the present form


of government will have fair chance Of


life. The old Republic was cast in such


stormy days, and it was SO little steadied


by experience as to make the students of


it's history wonder. not that it fell SO soon,


but that it lasted so long. The second


Republic was called into existence by
small group of theorists, who began by


m aking the hazardous experiment Of es-


tablishing universal suffrage, aud some of


whom created a panic by their Socialistic
creed. Then the Assembly framed Con-
stitution which might seem to have been
almost designed for the purpose of putting
the institutions of the country at the mer-
cy of the President. The series of fatal
mistakes was Gro sned when the dictate of
fatal suffrage gave the place of Chief Mag
istrate ito Prince Louis Napoleon. The
situation is incomparably better to-day.
The country has shown by repeated votes
that it is content with the present Consti
tuition. The Senate is Republican. The
President is as consistent Republican as
any man in France. Thus, for the first
time, all the powers of the Government are
in the hands of its friends, and the reac-
tionary parties form but feeble opposi-
tion. 1t may be thought that the army is
still mysterious force. But if we may
trust all kinds of reports, the great mass
of the army has not the slightest inclina-
tion to be made the instrument of reaction.
The only danger which the present Con-
grass has really TO fear is the indiscretion
of its own friends Revolutionary expert
ments would soon make the peasantry
beckon for the Empire. But, for the first
time, the government is steadied BY the
classes which form the backbone of genu-
inc conservatism. The so-called conserva-
tism of people who would set up another
monarchy, revive the old political powers
of the clergy, and hold out territorial hopes
to the Pope, is only revolution in disguise 1,
but the support of the peasantry, OF the


middle class, and OF the great traders, 10
an anchor of real conservatism, and on
such stability the government can count.

1t is an unpleasant custom which some
ministers have of thus whacking at people
who incnr their displeasure. Sometimes
1t is at the absentees, sometimes at these
who are present. The Presbyterian thus
hits back 1--WE very much question the
propriety of advising Or rebuking congre-
cation Or an audience through the medium
OF prayer, though. we are sorry to say, it is
too often done. But two cases of the kind,
lately mentioned in the papers, almost seem
such an exception to the rule that one can
hardly find fault. One is that of a minister
opening court with prayer, who prayed
that the lawyers might remember that life
is short, and not waste the time of the
judge and jury by talking to no purpose
when they had nothing to say and the
other that of the chaplain OF the Maine
Legislature, who prayed that the honora-
BILE members might stop speaking whom
they have got through; though, says the
paper which reports the fact, 1T is greyious
to be informed that thus far the prayer has
not been answered. To which let us add
the case of very respectable pastor in
Western Pennsylvania. He had invited a
colored minister, who happened to come
along, to sit with him in the pulpit. The
brother accepted the invitation, but was
astonished when he heard his host insult
him by praying in the sflong prayer" that
the Lord would "bless our coIored brother
who this morning occupies the pulpit with
u.s." Some of the congregation were Of
Tended by it, particularly the sexton, who
happened to be coiored man. He vowed
vengeance. On Sunday morning, not
long afterwam, the congregation of a
neighboring church were much astonished
by sudden addition to their numbers,
after the services had commenced. Inquiry
resulted in learning that the church in
whose pulpit the colored brother had sat
was so filled with smoke that the people
could not stay there. The sexton, deter
mined to avenge the insult offered to his
race, had fixed the smoke fiue so as to turn
all the smoke from the fnrnace into the
church. It was considered little wicked
in him, but it was agreed on all hands that
he had got even with the pastor. --Phssa.
