THE Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs have determined to take no action on any of the nominations now before them until after the impeachment trial. IT is stated in Washington that General Schofield was offered the post of Secretary of War ad interim before General Thomas, hut that he declined it very politely and diplomatically. The Republican State Convention of Massachusetts has adopted resolutions nomi nating General Grant for President and Senator Wilson for Vice President, endors ing iuipeachinenr, and congratulating the Republicans of New Hampshire on their grand victory. GOVERNOR BAKER, of Louisiana, one of General Hancock's recent appointments, has been arraigned at New Orleans, before 1 nited States Commissioner Shannon, on the charge of having comitted perjury in taking the test oath. He is charged with having aided the rebellion. THE Prince of Wales is to visit Ireland during the Easter holidays. The visit is to be signalized by the granting of a partial amnesty to the Fenians. Reports from the Turkish Government assert that the war in Crete has entirely ended. So many similar reports have heretofore been made that this one may well be doubted. THE President has refused to receive pa pers sent to him through the War Depart ment by General Grant, and it is said is al so considering the propriety of orderiug the Secretary of the Treasury to refuse to rec ognize Mr. Stantou'a drafts: Army officers who obey Mr Stanton's orders are to be court-martialed. AN immense Republican mass meeting was held at Philadelphia to endorse the action of the recent State Convention. The resolutions of the meeting endorse impeach ment and approve of General Grant as "the best of Radicals and the best of Conserva tives; Radical when treason and wrong is to be uprooted; Conservative when Union, liberty and right are to be preserved." Tije Washington Star says that the im peachment proceedings are generally consid ered as unfavorable to the President. The Express (Democratic) argues that the resig nation of Mr. Johnson would stop the trial, and that if "his couasel are satisfied that there is no prospect of impartial trial, and that conviction is a foregone conclusion, they may advise abandonment of defence by res- ! ignation." THE initial battle of the Presidential cam- ' paign has been fought and won by the Ro- ! publicans of New Hampshire. It was not only the first contest of the great struggle of 1 v 6B but it was also fought squarely out nn the question of Impeachment, both parties fairly recognizing the issue and the impor tance of the decission. On each side the fight was an earnest, a determined and thorough oanvaw THERE is nothing new in the Impeach ment case, but we have the u.-ual amount of rumors as to the views of the parties most interested. Mr. Johnson's counsel will ob ject to every Senator who has expressed an opinion as to his guile oi innocence, being allowed to act as jurors. The question will be if the trial can be conducted with the un reconstructed States not represented, and whether the twenty-seven States now rep resented constitute the Senate. THE correspondence between General Grant and General Hancock, in relation to some removals made by the latter, has been sent to Congress. It exhibits no import ant facts not already known. General Grant tells Hancock that his "order of re moval was based on certain charges which I did not think were sustained by the facts as they were presented to me." He then ad ministers to Hancock a gentle hint that he has used the telegraph too freely, and that despatches of such length as his should be sent by mail. Is thellou-eof Representatives there port of the Retrenchment Committee in re lation to alleged frauds in the Treasury De partment in the cancellation of bonds has been further discussed. Mr. I/Ogan renew ed his attack on the management of the Treasury Department, and especially upon Mr. Clarke, the Chief of the Printing Bu reau, causing to be read testimony in rela tion to the delinquencies of that officer taken during a former investigation. Finally the whole matter was referred back to the com mittee, with instructions to report what changes are necessary in the law authorizing the printing of United .States notes ana bonds. TrtE Committee on Retrenchment of the House of Representatives have prepared a lengthy report on the whiskey and tobacco frauds. After quoting the testimony taken before aconitnittec of the Thirty-ninth Con gress touching the collusion of officers of the Government with dishonest persohs, the report says that the Presidont had abundant evidence, in numerous eases, show ing conclusively the unfaithfulness of many officers, yet they are undisturbed. No at tempt has been made to prove the flagrant violations of law in the cases of individuals who have amassed princely fortunes by cun ningly devised schemes. Cases of this kind have been reported, jet not a single crimi nal has been compelled to disgorge the fruits of his crime, or to suffer the pains and pen alties for violating the law. THE Rebels in Tennessee are threatening trouble. General Grant, received a brief despatch from Major General Thomas, s'ating that the enemies of the present State Government in Tennessee were organizing for resistance to the laws, and to get control of the State. General Thomas asked for immediate instructions. His telegram to General Grant a-sured the latter that these statements were positively fouuded on movements of the Rebels and the supporters j of the President. Without delaj-, General j Grant telegraphed to General Thomas to ' use all the force at his command to preserve ' peace and protect the state authorities in! the execution of the laws, to the fullest ex tent, and to report if more troops were needed. Nncver, in the history of Ameri can politics, has the canvass of a State been I so exhaustive, so thorough and minute, j Wo have the tesult in a glorious victory—a success which coming at this time and un ; der the surrounding circumstances has all the importance and significance of a Na tional Triumph. IN the House of Represen tatives Mr. Stevens, from the Uomuiit- j tee on Reconstruction, has submitted a report in relation to Alabama, with a bill providing for its admission as a iUate of the Union. The bill for the admission of Alabama was debated, the Republicans advocating its passagcand the Democrats opposing it. A very exciting discussion took place between Messrs. Logan and Van Wyck in relation to alleged frauds in the Treasury Department. A LOCAL AND GENKRAL, NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALS MOORISH MAGNIFICENCE: THE GREAT CATHEDRAL. : SPANISH WOMEN : FADED GLOKV. Not until reaching Seville did I feel what a luxury it is to live —just to breathe—to inhale the delicious air and rejoice in being. Other climates had been cold, or damp, or chilly; some hot, debilitating; but this was just right, and when a man comes to the place where the weather just suits him, it is time to sit down and enjoy it, It seemed to me it was a privilege to be anything that could breathe in this delightful elitne. It is the latter part of February. If one of mv lungs was out of order, or both of them, I would stay here till they were well, or until the weather became too hot for comfort, and that will be but a few weeks hence. The city is clean, well-built, and in the evening the inhabitants throng some of the streets so as to make it difficult to walk. The courts around which the houses are built, are beautifully adorned with flowers and shrubs, and trees; in warmer weather awnings are spread over them, and here the family enjoy themselves with the piano and guitar, the song and the dance. Here too, tiic table is spread, and all Seville, it is said, takes tea out of doors. It was a dreadful day for Seville, and in deed for Spain, when the Moors were driven out of the country; they had conquered it, and ruled eight hundred years. Four hundred thousand Moors, Jews and Arabs, left this city of. Seville in a few days after it was surrendered to St. Ferdinand. Wealth, learning, taste, art and the eharm of Eastern life went out with them, and Spain has been lower in the scale of morals and manners ever since. This is no compliment to Mahouictanism. To com pare the present condition of Spain with anything that has gone before it aud say that the former days were better than these, is saying very little for the better times. In this old city of Seville we found the Alcazar or Palace, being the first specimen of Moor ish magnificence we had seen. It consists of a group| of palaces, on the banks of the Guadalquiver, and exhibits the same style of architecture and mural decorations that are so much admired and celebrated in the Alhainbra. Indeed, the pavements and columns and arches and apartments,have been preserved, or restored with so much greater care than the Aihambra itself, that the latter appears to be a feeble example of Moorish ta>te and skill, compared with these glorious rooms in Seville. Fancy must people these chambers with men and women, of flesh and blood ; clothe them in Oriental and gorgeous raiment, surround them with every luxury that gold and labor and power ; can give ; hang these passages with curtains whose richness has not been excelled by anything that modern art has produced. When the sleepy janitor opens the outer gate and leads you through these deserted and empty halls, in which your own footfalls make the only sound, into apartments that for centuries have been silent as the_ grave, yet on every hand is beauty of coloring and "srvintr and curiously wrought adorning that you must pause to admire; even IU UICIUIOCE tdy and limbs were covered with a beautiful coat of hair about four inches long. She vas much frightened and seemed unable to talk, hat must have comprehended signs, as in reply to motions of the gentleman Dy wliich he sought to in duce her to accompany iim out of the wood .-he constantly pointed to her own forest home. Finally, the gentleman endeavored to compel her to go the way he desired, by getting before her, and by threatening ges tures with hisgun, and she becoming enra ged, seized a club, and turned upon him with the fury of a demon, tnd it was only bv the speed imparted to his steed by a liberal use of the spurs that he kept out of her way. After driving off her pursuer, she resumed the dircctioishe bad so con stantly pointed, and was soon out of sight. The gentleman followed, and after going some distance, came uponher home. Three trees standing near each o.her, in a triangu lar form, with the spaces letwecn them wal led up with brush and moss, made her moss bed between them sccurt from the rude blasts of winter, and comparatively secure from the pitiless rain. The only stores that were discovered were a ftw nuts and some four or five bushels of acorns. Very wild stories of this wild woman have been rife in the upper part of the coutty for some time, but she was believed to be a myth by all ex cept those who claimed tc have had glimp ses of her. Now, however, her existence, description, and the vicinity at least of her whereabouts, are established beyond con troversy. Her early capture may fie regar ded as within the range of probability, as concentrated efforts are being made to that end. THRIVE SLOWLY. —It is dangerous for a man to grow rich and strong faster than be grows good. Ido not think it is wise to grow rich too fast, at any rate. I do not mean to say that there may not be men of such stature that they cau grow rich rapidly without bring hurt by their riches: but generally God makes the road to wealth one of care, so that the process is one of educa tion, and so that, when a man had attained his competence, he has gone through that which is a strengthened stiffencr, and which prevents his being much iujured by it. But when nieu come into the possession of wealth without having earned it, they are apt to be injured by it, because they have not receiv ed that education which is necessary to ena ble them to administer it properly. w [ MR. NASBY MEETS WITH A MIS FORTUNE. i J} 0 ?'- ''ctjoleum V. Naaby having been . called into Ohio to assist in the expulsion of some children of African descent from a . district school into which they had been ad mitted by a New Hampshire schoolmistress, > returned in a damaged conditiou, in conse quence of an adventure which he relates as follows: \\ e reached and entered the skool house. Jhe skool warm wuz there, ez bright and ez crisp ez a Janoowary mornin'—the skol ars wuz ranged on the sects a studying ez rapiuly ez possible. "Miss," sed I, "we arc iuformed that three nigger wenches, daughters of one Lett, a nigger, iz in this skool, a mingling with our daughters ez a eqal. Iz it so'?" "I he Misses Lett are in this skool," sed she, ruther miseheevishly, "and lam hap py to state that they are among my best pupils. ( "Miss, sed I, sternly, "pint cm out to us!' 'AY herefore?" sed she. "That we may bundle em out! sed I. "Bless me! ' sed she, "I reely coodcnt do that. Why expel'em?" "Becoz," sed I, "no nigger shel contami nate the white children uv this deestrick. No sech disgrace shel be put on to 'em." "Y\ ell," sed this agrivatin skool mann, which wuz from Noo Hampshire, "put 'em out." "But show me wich they are." Can t you detect cm, sir? Don't their color betray em' ? Ef they are so near white that you can't select 'em at a glance, it strikes mc that it can't hurt very much to let 'em stay." I wuz sorely puzzled. There wuzn't a girl in the room who looked at all nipgery. But my reputation wuz at stake. Noticin three children settin together who wuz somewhat dark eompiectid, and whose black hair waved, I went for 'em, and shoved 'em out, the cussed skool inarm almost bustin with lafter. Here the tragedy okkerred. At the door I met a man who rode four miles in his zeal to assist us. lie bed alluz Led an itchen to pitch into a nigger, and ez he cood do it now safely he perposed not to lose the chance. I wuz puttin 'em out, and bed just dragged 'em to the door, when I met him enterin it. "Wat is this?" sed be, with a surprised look. "We're puttin out these cossid wenches, who is contaminatin yoor children and mine," sed I. "Ketch hold of that pe keolyerly disgustin one yonder," sed I. "Wenches! You skoundrel, them girls iz my girls!" And without watin for explauaslien the infooriated monster sailed into me, the skool marm layin over on one uv the benches ex plodin in peels uv laughter, the like of wich I never heard. The three girls, indignant at being mistook for nigger wenches, assisted their parent, and between em, in about four minutes. I wuz insensible.

A sensible letter from Washington con cerning Mr. Dickens' visit to the United States appears in the Pali Mall Gazette. The writer says: "On his arrival in Boston Mr. Dickens found himself in a literary society which had sprung up since bis earlier, visit, and as he has passed through the great cities he has moved among a people to whom a 'live author' is no longer a surprise or a curiosity. He has produced no commotion by his walks along Broadway, Washington street or Pennsylvania avenue, but he has been thrown upon his merits as a writer and reader. He has in this manner been ena bled to observe American society under cir cumstances far more favorable than those amid which his first "American Notes" were taken, and we may apprehend that the new conditions of the country are likely to furnish him with subjects suggestive of something more than spicy caricature. The bonhomie with which he has been received is itself characteristic of the growth of the American mind, showing as it does that its young and morbid sensitiveness to ridicule has in a great measure disappeared. It must be admitted, in the light of what all now know to have been then in America, that Mr. Dickens's work on this country was calculated to produce irritation, not so much by what it observed as what it did not observe, the caricatures being almost entirely unbalanced by any recognition of the serious and important traits of Ameri can life and character. It is not wonderful that he should feel himself somewhat em barrassed personally, as a person might who finds himself incurring the obligations of a guest to a man whom he had once held up to ridicule. lam not surprised, therefore, to hear of his preferring to be entertained by English residents here. "One of the chief counts of t he indictment against England, as it stands in the Ameri can mind, is that during their late struggle the literary men of that country, they who mainly represent to Americans ail its at tractions, were cither hostile or indifferent to their cause. It would probably have en tirely altered the complexion of Mr. Dick ens' visit, could he have pointed to any expressions of sympathy written or uttered by him for America during her late strug gle. As it is, he is generally understood to have shared in the the neutrality or active Southern sympathy which characterized the attitude of many among the higher classes in England. All these causes have proba bly conspired to disappoint the hopes that had been held out of an influence from the visit favorable to a more fraternal feeling between the United States and Great Brit iao." THE OTHER SlDE.—Once in a happy home a sweet, bright baby died. On the evening of the day when the children gath ered around their mother, all sitting very sorrowful, Alice, the eldest said: "Mother, you took all the care of baby while s"he was here, and you carried and held her in your arms all the while she was ill; now. mother, who took her on the other "On the other side of what, Alice?" "Ou the other side of death: who took the baby on the other side, mother; she was so little she could not go alone?" "Jesus met he there," answered the mother. "It is he who took little children ' into his arms to bless them, and said Suf fer them to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heav en!' " USES OK TEMPTATION. —When a founder has east his bell, he does not presently fix it in the steeple, but tries it with his hammer and beats it on every side, to see if there be any flaw in it. Christ does not presently after he has converted a man, convey him to heaven; but suffers him to be beaten by many temptations, and then exhaltshim to his crown. — Arroicsmith. VOLUME 41; >O. 13. WHO ABE THE USEFUL MEN. lii a building, the superstructure attracts ! the eye—the foundation is hidden. A tree's leaf makes more noise than its trunk, and the roots are all concealed beneath the ground. Yet the tree shakes off its leaves each autumn. But it holds its roots forever, and even bares itself of foliage when win ter comes, in order that the roots may be covered, and nurtured below, and so glorify its Maker and itself in the future Spring. So in society. It is not the apparantly great men, doing public things who bless the world. Not many succeed in attracting attention and applause. Men do not all run to leaf, merely to get up that green thinness which rustles for a summer, and then crisps and falls to the ground as a mere nurturer of the strong, but modest roots below, that live and grow through all the years. • *i? e 'tdenoe of real greatness to get into high elevations, to work on the public platform*, into into pulpits, or even to tho Presidential chair. God's uni versal plan is to keep the individual humble that he may be useful and happy. Each one is made for all. Yet every soul is great er creation than a sun. You are appointed there, yonder, somebody else between, or beyond, and each one of us must bear his own accountability, living and working ac cording to our chances, doing everything for a purpose— general good and God's special glory. Every individual in the race is a free agent, and in religion as well as in all other relations should be recognized as a unit, equal iu will and right to every other. There is Methodism in Christianity that votes and works with a purpose, not to glorify men by making them "lords over God s heritage," but rather to honor their individuality, and prompt them to discharge every duty as it defines itself to God's glory and not to man's. WHO ARE FOR AND WHO AGAINST IM PEACHMENT. There are just two parties on the impeachment question—those for it, and those against it. Who are for it ? The whole Republican party, North and South including hundreds and thousands of former Democrats, and nine-tenths of the soldiers who fought against the rebel armies of Beauregard and Lee. The widows and orphans of every union soldier pleed for it; all the great sanitary and benevolent organi zations during the war plead for it; the manumitted millions of the South plead for it; the laboring millions of the North and West plead for it; the hundreds and thou sands interested in the National Debt plead for it; every friend of a speedy return to specie payments pleads for it; every advo cate of new continental railroads pleads for it; every friend of Freedom throughout the world watches its progress as the last trial of a great and a second time betrayed people. Who, then, are those who are opposed to impeachment ? The whole Rebel army vanquished by Grant and Sherman; all the sympathizers with treason in the North; all the enemies of the draft; all the enemies of the National Debt; all those who rejoiced in the assassina tion of Abraham Lincoln; all those who glo ried in the treachery of Andrew Johnson; all ills a-sailants of Grant. Sherman. Sheri dau, Olvklw, IX. Tbuu.u.-, uuJ i.L^i patriots, and every enemy of Liberty in the Old World. THE HUMAN BODY.—While the gastric juice has a mild, blanded, sweetish taste, it possesses the power of digesting the hardest food that can be swallowed, It has no influ ence whatever on the fibres of the living animal; but in the moment of death it be gins to eat them away with the power of the strongest acid. There is dust on the sea and land —in the valley and on the mountain top —there is dust always and everywhere. The atmosphere is full of it. It penetrates the noisome dungeon, and vis its the deepest and darkest caves of the earth. No palace door can shut it out; no drawer is so secret as to escape its presence. Every breath of wind dashes it upon the open eye, which yet is not blinded, because there is a fountain of the blandest fluid in nature incessantly emptying itself under the eyelid, which spreads itself over the surface of Die eyeball, at every wiuking, and washes every atom of dust away. This liquid, so well adapted to the eye itself, has some acidity, which, under certain circumstances, becomes so decided as to be scalding to the skin, and would rot away the eyelids were it not that all the edge* of them are little oil manufactories, which spread over the surface a coating as impervious to the liquids necessary for keeping the eyeballs clean, as the best varnish is impervious to water. A SERMON TO A PREACHER.—Never shall I forget the remark of a learned legal friend, who was at one time somewhat skep tical in his views. Said he to me, "Did I believe as you do, that the masses of our race are perishing in sin, I could not rest I would fly to tell them of salvation. I would labor day and night I would speak with all the energy and pathos I could sum mon. I would warn and entreat my fellow men to turn unto Christ, and receive salva tion at his hands. I am astonished at the manner in which the majority of you min isters tell your message. Why don't you act as if you believed your own words. You have not the earnestness in preaching the lawyers have in pleading. If we were as tame as you are, we would not carry a single suit." A decade of years has passed awav since the remark was made. I bless Giod it was addressed to me. It put a fire in my bones which I hope will burn as long as I live. God preached a stirring sermon to me that day by the mouth of that infidel lawyer.— Rev. P. Stryker of NOD Brunsickk. FAILING EYES.—Persons suffering from dispepsia or any other malady, must take care of their eyes. Any disease impairs the strength, and the nervous system is de pressed; and when laboring under this form of depression, the eye is particularly liable to become weak. The reason of this is, that of the ten nerves that go off from the brain, six are distributed wholly t and the other four partially to the eye.'' Through the great sympathetic nerve, the disturbed stomach, or liver, or intestines, communi cates with telegraphic speed with the brain, and so with the eye. The first advice to be given with the reference to the comfortable use of the eyes, undoubtedly is—to keep in testines and liver and stomach in a healthy condition, or in other words do everything to confirm the general health. If this be impaired do not read, and especially do not write long without giving the eye a rest. The great remedy for an eye whose disease depends upon the nerve and not the muscle, is ltest! Rest! 1 Rest!!! "THE arm of a pretty girl wound tight round your neck has been discovered to be an infallible remedy in case of sore throat. It beats pepper tea all hollow.

There is nothing better understood than that an overtasked brain will speedily lose its power, if, indeed, it be not driven to a fatal congestion. We no longer err through ignorance. A clergyman, for instance, knows perfectly well if he devotes his nights to writing sermons, instead of sleeping, that very soon he will ask his congregation for permission to go to Europe. Still ho keeps his unseasonable work, and makes it a mat ter of conscience to commit a long and de liberate suicide. It is asserted, upon the stienght of a post-mortem examination, that the late much lamented Governor Andrew, a public man, whose life was of the greatest importance to the whole country, was really killed by hard work' It is painful to speak with any thing like censure of a career so self-devoted, especial ly when we consider that Gov. Andrew knew perfectly well the terrible risk which he was running. When he gave himself to the cause of the republic, he just as literally took his life in his hand as if he had volun teered to lead a folorn hope upon the field of battle. Was this sacrifice necessary? Was it wise or prudent? Here was a man of extraordinary capacity for public affairs; here was a life of uncommon value to the community; here was that rarity in history, an able man with an educated conscience: here was one*who might make mistakes, and who did make them,but who was utterly incapable of any act of deliberate selfishness, and just in the maturity of his powers, just when he had trained himself to fill higher posts in the public service, he is suddenly called away. "At this exigent moment," to borrow the language of Burke, the "loss of a finished man is not easily supplied." Whoever undertakes to do the work of five days in one, will be sure either to kill himself or to do his work badly. In either case, nothing is gained by excessive and un reasonably prolonged application; yet this is a truth universally disregarded by students and public men. The President of a Col lege makes a fine speech to the Freshmen; he tells them that they must properly re gard the laws of health; that night study is worse than no study at all; that dyspepsia is the bane of our colleges; and it turns out upon inquiry that this excellent President is in the habit of reading Hebrew for half the night, and is himself a wretched victim of chronic indigestion, has something the matter with his head, is growing deaf, or growing blind, smokes more tobacco than is good for him, and will certanly be obliged to go to Italy by advice of the family doctor, unless Divine Providence works a speeial miracle, which it is not at all likely to do. "OWES ME A LIVING,"— It is among men who try to get a living by some shift or trick of laziness that we hear the famiiiar wards, "The word owes me a living." A loafer who never did a useful thing in his life, who dresses at the expense of the tailor, and drinks at the cost of his friends, always insists that the world owes him a livißg, and declares his intention to secure the debt. I should like to know how it is that a man who owes the world for every mouthful he ever ate every ever put OIL the world. The loafer lies about it. The world owes him nothing bnt a very rough coffin and retired and otherwise useless place to put it in. The world owes a living to those who are not able to enrn one—to chil dren, to the sick, to the disabled and the aged—to all who, in the course of nature by force of circumstances, are dependent; and it was mainly for the supply of the wants of these that men were endowed with the power to produce more than enough for themselves. To a genaine shirk the world owes nothing; and when he tells me, whine, that the world owes him a living, I am as sured that he has the disposition of a high way robber, and lacks only his courage and his enterprise.— J. G. Holland. A PORTLAND (Me.) paper tells a story of a countryman why was coming from that place to Boston on one of the steamers, and who met with a curious accident. The ves sels, it seems, had fire annihilators placed around in convenient spots. The gentle man from the interior became thirsty, eyed an annihilator for some time and evidently concluded it was a new fangled drinking ar rangement, and was not going to show his greenness by asking about it. So he step ped up smartly, put the nozzle in his mouth and turned it on. The effect was instanta neous and stupendous! The countryman was knocked sprawling some ten feet away. The shock to his internal organization must have been something tremendous, for he remained senseless and speechless for some time. When he sufficiently recovered to articulate, he wanted to know if "the hilar had burst?" GOOD THINGS. —Mutualities are good very good to have about the house, good about business, good in the street, good in the wide, wide world. It is only another putting of the golden rule. There are some whose idea of this golden rule is a to get gold. Nothing of courso could be more per verted. Helping one another is the kindest and best sort of help there is in the world. It is the kind everybody should keep. To be mutually courteous, kind, considerate, iast, is to create a littla heaven on earth, of which everybody is the center and mon arch. "Nice thing, that," the reader says, and adds, "People will see it, but won't do it." All the worse for them. We toss up the hint, which they may catch or not, as they please. SLANDER. —Slander, like love, is born blind, and should be so represented, If Love never sees a vice, Slander never sees a virtue. It can never make others what it whishes them to be, but alwavs makes others. It strikes at others, but its blows recoil upon its own head. It is a dog that bites the biter. Ii is, however, false to suppose it bites any one else, for, like a serpent, it may fasten its fangs upon another, and do it but too successfully; though it generally ends like a scorpion; by thrusting its ven om into its own head. But it is a poor consolation to know that he who has killed another, dies at last by his own hand. SIGNS. —It is a good sign to see a man do an act of charity—a bad sign to hear him boast of it It's a good sign to see an honest man wearing his old dothes —bad to sec them filling holes in the windows. It's a good sign to sec a man wipe the perspiration from his brow—bad to see him wipe his lips as he comes out of a cellar. It's a good sign to Bee a woman dressed with taste and neatness—bad to see her husband sued for finery. . . It's a good sign to sec a man advertise in the papers—bad to see the sheriff adveitisc for him. It's a good sign to see a man sending hi 3 children to school—bad to sec them educa ted at the night school in the street.
