GENERAL GAunmT wrote in answer
to a friend who had congratualated him
upon his election to the Senate : "As
to the hope you express that I shall be
called higher, I can only say that my
idea of the highest ambition of a pulhic
mnan ought to be to disoharge fully the
duties .of the position to which he is al
ready called. A man is not in position
to discharge his duties fully and without
bias1 if he is aspiring to higher places
and laboring to scure them. The post
of greatest usefulness ought to be the
place of the highest honor."
Lova was t.t the bottom of the Arkan

boys to rob a train, resolved to) imitate
them to bridge over the obistacle standing
between themselves, theirgirls and matri
mony. They obtained the money, bilt
thinking they would not be pursned,
they made no effort to escape. Their
girls, no doubt, feel bad to think that
for their sake they wero led to the com
mission of a crime that has culinnated
in a seventy-years' sentence in the pnii
tentiary.
MR. VENNOR says in the preface of his
almanao for 1882: "I lay no claim to
tho discovery of an infallibl , system of
foretelling weather. The cieonce of
practical meteorology is yet in its in
fancy, and is being studied by 111011
whose abilities are far greater than any
I could endeavor to lay claim to. There
will be many mistikes before a right
understanding or interpretation of its
principles is arrived nt. Based, as my
system of predictions must be, on records
of weather as yet incompleto and very
faulty, the results can not he entirely
satisfactory, more especially in respect
to new ground; yet I believe the key to
the solution of the problem has been
found. and that all errors will but aid in
more correctly discovering the aecreta of
coming mouths."

WonaK is the laiw of our besing-the
lis ing princeiple that carries men') anid na
tins onlward. TJheo greater number of
menf have to work with their hands as a
Jimtter of necessity, in order to live; bt
all must work in one way or another, if
Sthey would en1joy life as it ought to be
enjoyedl. Labor may be a burden and a
chalstisneent, b~ut it is also an honor and
a glory. Without it nothing can be ac
a comlished. All that is great in man
comlfes thr'.imghi work, and civilization is
its product. Were labor abolished, t1,.
a iace of Adam were at once stricken b y
moral death.
