rabid as a mad do la your views, when nobody
but your side la present, affect to be
ery liberal in your sentiments, when you
talk with those of an opposite political creed
Mankind lore a liberal man; and if you flat
teijrour foes you disarm thorn.
There's a good deal in that," observed
Sammy, musingly, reflecting upon the many
existing instances of its truth.
That there is," responded the sick man,
nearly exhausted, and bis lips as pale as oaiiea.
Double dealing done well, will fix the
flints of every body. When I lived in
Sqaealbury?a hoggish set, there Sam?I
was a great gun. T was a general favorite
owing to my management?and I had money.
They were going to build a town House.
iSjere were two parties, each favoring a different
site. They sent committees to aak
my opinion. As the parties were about
squsl in numlter and iumicnce, I hesitated at
firat which to favor."
"And how did you overcome the difficulty
!"
"I told the committees that if they would
call a meeting of both parties, I would give
tbeu my opinion. That meeting was called
and 1 went. 'Smirk Smirk! Smirk ! I' they
all cried. I arose, and, after complimenting
the rowdies gsnsrally, the town, its character.
and Mo forth, disclaimed mv ricrht. either
to the distinguished honor conferred upon
me, or to deliver mi opinion on the subject.
*1 was a native of Squralbury," I aaid and no
meddler. *1 would not express any preference
and opinion. I had confidence that
the intelligence of Iho Squeslberrisns would
enable them to choose for themselves, and
with great nfT.cted modesty I bowed and
withdrew in the midst of cheers from both
parties."
"Thai was well done, father!" said Sam,
admiringly; "and was that the reaion you |
ware elected to the legislature?"
"Yes," said the senior Smirk, faintly ; "I 1
made a hit. My noble mindednesa became
proverbial. I was compared to Cincinnatus
and General Washington, put up for Representative
and elected by both parties. Do j
as I did, Sam, and you'll prosper?Oh !"
"God bless you my dear father! what's
tho matter?"
"I'm going, Sam! I shall be off in a minute!
Call in the minister mid the other bores
quick! but remember policy, Sam policy."
And witb the unfinished word, which had
been hid guiding star through life, the Hon.
Simon Smirk expired.
Intelligence of his death was telegraphed ,
ail over the Union, and a great manv editorial
obituaries ware written upon him, ending
with?
"None knew thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee but to praise !"
Tiir.r.t are several religious sects among j
the Chinese, but the priueipttl elements of;
belief are similar. They believe in three
great existences?two of thrui original, and
without beginuing or end and the third the
product of the other two. Of the two tirst
existences, one is spiritual, the other material;
the three together "I" heaven, earth, and
man. Heaven is spiritual; earth material,
.but everlasting; and man the product of both,
and partaking of the ua'ure of both. The
Igures and graven images to which the Chinese
pay reverence (uncouth as they are)do
not represent gods, but good men who have
i luinently benefitted their ri.ee during their
stay o:i earth. They suppose that these
nieu are in heaven, enjoying a spiritual and
carnal immortality, but that the spiritual part 1

take place on the 1 Hit of July, the day hefore
the Kxhition ia opened to the public.?
On this occasion, it in expected that the President
of the United States and some, at
least, of the Cabinet officers will be present
to assist at the Inauguration. The precise
order of arrangement and nature of the ceremonies
with which it ia intended to mark
the opening of the Kxhibition has not yet
been made Known. It is understood, however,
that a very brilliant musieai soiree will
form a prominent feature, to which none but
holders of season tickets (the price of which
has been fixed at 010) will bo admitted.

Wa learn, from the New York Evangelist I
that a South-western Convention of Minis j
term of this church has been called to meet st |
Murfrecsboro', Tenn. on the 16th of July, j
having for ita objects the cultivation of a |
mutual acquaintance among the scattered 1
preachers in thai wide field, devising plans
for the spread of the church, procuring more
ministers, employing the press more rflretualljr,
and adopting other measures for the ,
propagation of the faith in that portion o'
our country.
