CHURCH BELLS* There is something beautiful in in tlic church bells, Beautiful and hopeful. They talk to high and low, rich and poor, in the same voice* there is a sound in them that should scare pride and envy and meanness of all sorts from the heart of man ? that should make hint look on the world with kind, forgiving eyes; that should make the earth itsclfseem to him, at least for a time, a holy place. Yes. there is n whole sermon ill the very sound oft he church bells, If we have only the ears to understand it. There is a preacher in every belfry, that cries, "Poor, weary, struggling, lighting creatures, poor human things! take rest, be quiet. Forget your win it it's, your lollies, your week day craft, your heartburnings! And you. ye human vessels, gilt and paint ed believe !n iron tongue that tells ye that all your gilding, all your col ors, ye tire the same Adam's earth with the b?ge. a. at your gates. Come away, conn." cries the church bell, "and learn to be humble; learn that however dntlhcd and stained, and stuck about with jewels, 3*011 are but grave clay! Come Dives, come, and be taught that all your glory, its you wear it. is not ha I f so hen U! iful in the eye of Ile:i\eil as 1 he sores of uncom plaining Lazarus! And ye, poor cr Mures, livid and fatal: stained ami crushed by the pride and hardness of the world, come, come," cries Ihe bell, with the dice of an angel, "come and learn what is laid up for ye. And learning, lake heart, and walk amongst the wickedness, and cruel lies of the world, calmly as Daniel walked among lions."? Douglas Jorrold. \S USUAL. An empty honor at the Chicago Convention was accorded to "the re presentative of his once down trod den race," as one of our contempor aries puts it. Senator llruce was call I upon to preside for a few mom cuts! The cheering was immense when this negro ascended the plat form, :!!!?! the applause was merely owing to the fact that he happened to be a negro, "called upon to preside over a Convention id'neatly a thous and men from every State in the Union." It matters nol whet her the dusky Senator was lit for the posi tion, even to occupy it lor a brief space of lime?rthe politicians had the opportunity of Hat taring the colored race; and as they did not intend to vole for him to occupy a place on their national ticket, and preside over the United Slates Sen ate, if elected, they wen? not slow to take advantage of the credulous and unsuspecting desceudaul of Africa by giving him this empty ami less cosily honor. And the colored race, as :i general rule, will rejoice at this distinction conferred upon one of their number, and straightway' vole the t.ickcl prepared by their present masters, with the name of Senator llruce left in the background when thai I icket was formed tit Chicago.

Long nntl closo Observation lias satisfied us that the real obstacle in the way of finding employment docs not 1 i * - iu the fact tint! there is not plenty of work to do?work w hich might be done ton profit?but in the impossibility of getting work done well. And the reason work is not well done, is to be found chiefly in the false notions of labor which pre vail, and the antagonistic feelings which have been sedulously cultivat ed between employers and the cm ployed. A iiittn who regards work us a hardship, an oppression?who looks upi?!i the time given to bis em plover as a species of limited slavery ? cnii never do anything well. He must take an interest in his work if lit! would excel. The true rule is for :i young man to make himself as use ful as possible to his employer. He should never feel satislicd with him self so long us anything in his power to do to promote his employer's inter est is left undone. In this way labor is rendered profitable. Promotion comes unsought and before it is ex pected. Here Res the secret of sue eess.
