O Father! t&ko in; hand, And from tho night Load up to light Thy childi The way is long, my-Father! and my soul Longs for the rest and quiet of the goal; While yet I journey through tho woary land, Keep mo from wandering.

Tho cross is heavy, Father. I have horno It long, and still do bear it. Let my worn And fainting spirit rise to that bloat land 'Where crowns are given. Father, take my hand, And, reaching down, Lead to tho crown Thy child! A REFUBIJCAN FORM OF GOVERN? MENT.-It hos generally been con? sidered, says the New York World, that those who sway the destinies of a country should have some stake in that country. Let ns seo how it is, in this view, with -the bogus State officers of reconstructed South Caro? lina. Annexed is a list, with the taxes paid by each : Governor-R. K. Scott, Ohio.$00 00 Lieutenant-Governor-L. Boo? zer . 15 99 Secretary of State-F. L. Car? do za, negro. 00 00 Comptroller - General-J. C. Neagle, N. 0 . 00 00 Treasurer-N. G. Parker, Massachusetts. 00 00 Attorney - General - D. H. Chamberlain, Mass. 00 00 "Superintendent of Education J. K. Jilla on, Moss. 00 00 Adjutant and Inspector-Gene? ral-F. J. Moses, Jr. 1 00 Total..816 99 Under the reconstructed Consti? tution of South Carolina, the annual taxes will be $2,116,212, against $350,000 in unreconstructed times ; and of the above $16.99 are repre? sented by the attenuated decimal .00000803 X) so that, if it may please tho arithmetical reader, the eight highest officers of tho recon? structed State of South Carolina pay to the support of the Government over which they preside an average tax of one hundred-thousandth part of a mill per annum. CUT THIS OCT.- Tho Mercantile Times gives the following seasonable rales for young men commencing business: The world estimates men by their success in life-and by general con sent, success is an evidence of supe? riority. Never, under any circumstances, assume a responsibility you can avoid consistently with your duty to you selves and others. Base ali your notions upon a prin? ciple of right; preserve your integ? rity of obaraotor, and, in doing this, never reckon the cost. Remember that self-interest is more likely to warp your judgment than all other circumstances combined; therefore, look well to your duty when your interest is concerned. Never make money at the expense of your reputation. Be neither lavishing or niggardly. Of the two avoid the latter. A mean man is universally despised; but publio favor is a stepping-stone to preferment-therefore, generous ?feeling should be cultivated. Say bat little-think much-and ?do more. Let your expenses bo such as to leave a balanoe in your pocket. Ready money is a friend in need. Keep clear of tho law, for even if you gain you aro generally a loser of jnoney. Avoid borrowing and lending. Wine drinking and cigar smoking .are bad habits. They impair the mind and pooket, and lead to a wasto ot time. Great Britain has urged a general disarmament of the great powers of Europe, and'the Government of AnKr j tria has lent its good offices in the j same direction. Prussia has taken the initiative in the proposed disarm? ament, King William having ordered a redaction to bo made forwithin the Landwehr. Something always on hand-your thumb.
