Words of Wisdom. The glory of the good is iu their con sciences, and not in the tongues of men. The gladness of the just is of God, and in God; and their joy is of the truth. Remember that every person, however low, has rights and feelings. In all con tentions let be rather your object than triumph; value triumph only as t>he means of peace. One personal struggle and conquest over seif will be more benefit than listen ing to a hundred sermons, or singing a hundred hymns. It is not so much what we learn as,what we practice that beuefits us. A leopard and a fox had a contest as to which was the finer of the two. 'I he leo pard put forward his numberless spots; but the fox replied, "It is better to have a versatile mind than a variegated body." In the depth of the sea the water is still; the heaviest grief is that born in si lence; the deepest love flows through the eye and touch; the purest joy is unspeak able; the most impressive preacher at a funeral is the silent one whose lips are cold. Above all other earthly gifts a good mother stands pre-eminent; she is worth her weight in gold—more than an army of acquaintances. Those who have played around the same door-step, basked in the same mother's smile, in whose veins the same blood flows, are bound by a sacred tie that can never be broken. There are depths of love in Christ be yond all that we have seen. Therefore dig deep, and labor, and take pains for 11 i 111, and set by as much time for Him as you can. He will be won by labor. "0!i! blessed Sabbath, needed for a world of innocence; without thee what would be a world of siir! Like its Lord, it rises upou us as the light of seven days with healing in its wings. It has been the coronation day of martyrs —the feast day of saints. It has been from the llrst until now the sublime custom of the Churches of God. Still the outgoings of its morning and evening rejoice. It is a day of heaven upou the earth, life's sweetest calm, poverty's best birthright, labor's only rest. Nothing has such hoar antiquity upon it—nothing contains in it such a history—nothing draws along with it such a glory. Nurse of virtue! Seal of truth! The household's richest patrimony, the nation's noblest safeguard ! The pledge of peace, the fountain of in telligence, the strength of law! The oracle of instruction! The ark of mercy ! The patent of our manhood's spiritual greatness —the harbinger of our soul's sanctified perfection—the glory of re ligion—the watchtowgr of immortality— the ladder set up on earth whose top reachctd to heaven, with angels of God ascending and descending upon it.— Dr. Hamilton. It is through the Siprit of God that the spirit of man is borne up iu the midst of adversities. It is He who upholds the perseverance of a disciple when all that is around Him lowers and looks dismal. It is He who causes a luminousness to rest on those eternal prospects, which are seen afar through the dark vista of a oil grimage which is lined on the right hand and on the left, with sorrows innumer able. It is when a bitterness comes upon man, which is only known to his own heat that a secret balm is often infused along with it with the joy of which a stranger does not intermeddle. There is a history of the soul that is unseen by every eye, but intimately known and felt by its conscious proprietor; and often can he testify of a tribulation that would have overwhelmed him to the death, had not a powerful iullueucc from 011 high suppor ted him under it. CIIALMKRS. In the life of the good man there is an Indian Summer more beautiful than that of the season; richer, sunnier, and more sublime thau the most glorious Indian summer the world ever knew—it is the Indian Summer of the soul. When the glow of youth has departed, when the warmth of middle age is gone, and the buds and blossoms of Spring are chang ing to the sere and yellow leaf; when the mind of the good man, still and vigorous, relaxes its labors, and the memories of a well-spent life gush forth from their se cret fountains, enriching, rejoicing and fertilizing; then the trustful resignation of the Christian sheds around a sweet and holy warmth, and the soul, assuming a heavenly lustre, is no longer restricted to the narrow confines of business but soars far beyond the Winter of hoary age, and dwells peacefully and happily upon that bright Spring and Summer which await within the gates of Paradise evermore. Tet us strive for and look trustingly for ward to an Indian Summer like this. The gratitude of the godly poor often shames us, for we are grumbling over luxuries while they are exceeding grateful for the barest necessaries. A godly couple living near Salisbury Plain had never possessed a blanket till a Christian friend at Hrattou hearing of their destitu tion sent them a pair. They were so overjoyed at the comfort of the blankets as to say that they hoped they were not going to have their portion in this life. Think of this, ye whose silks and satins cost you so much, and are so little prized. Think of this, all who are plentifully pro vided for.— Sword and Trowel.

Adddress, LUTHER TUCKER A HON, Publishers, Albany, X. V. JpOtt THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAH. " THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWS PAPEII." THE NKW YORK TRIBUNE FOR 1880. During the coming Presidential year The Tribune will be a more effective agency than ever for telling the news beet worth kuowing, and for enforcing sound politics. From the day tho war closed It has been most anxious for an end of sectional strife. But it saw two years ago, and was the first persist ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country from the revived alliance of the Holid Houth anil Tammauy Hall. Against that danger it sought to rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. It began by demanding the abandonment of personal dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end to attaoks upon each other instead of the enemy; and for the heartiest agreement upon whatevre fit candidates the majority should put up against the common foe. Bince then the tide of disaster hu been turned back; every doubtful state has bcea won, and the omens for National victory were never morn cheering. TIIK TRIBUNE'S POSITION. Of The-Tribune's share in all this, those speak most enthusiastically who have seen meet of'tbc struggle. It will faithfully portray the ranting phases of the campaign now beginning. It witL earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Unlet* and I'ublic Faith may select the man surest to wi* and surest to make a good President, lint in thbt j erisi* it can conceive of no nomination this party could make that would not be preferable to the best that could possibly be supported by the Solid Boath and Tammany Hall. The Tribune is now spending much labo and money tltnn ever before to hold the distinction it ha* enjoyed of the largest circulation among the Lett peopje. It secured, and means to retain it by bw coming the medium of the best thought and the voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring ihe frees# discussions, hearing ail sides, appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of the vilo or the prgju dices of the ignorant. SPECIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are kuowa to everybody. It gives all the news. It has the best correspondents, and retains them from year to year, it is the only paper that maintains a special telegraphic wire of its own between its olilce and Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re ligious intelligence is the fullest, its book reviews are the best. Its commercial and financial ne-'s is the most exact Us type is the largest; and lis ar rangement the most systematic. THE SICMI-WKKKLY TRIBUN is by far the most successful Semi-Wee xly in thu country, having fonr times the circulr.t'on of any other in New York. It is especially adapted to the large class of intelligent, professional or business rentiers too far from New Y'ork to depend on our papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien tific matter, lectures, literary miscellaney, etc., for which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form for binding, TIIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE remains the great favorite of our substantial country population, and has the largest circulation of any Weekly issued from the otiiee of a Daily paper in New York, or, so far as we know, In the United States. It revises and condenses all the news of the week into more readable shape. Its agricultural de partment is more carefully conducted than ever,and it has always been considered the best. Its market reports are the otlicial standard for the Dairymen's Association, and have long been recognized author ity 011 cattle, grain and general country produce. There are special departments for the young and for hous< hold interests; the new handiwork department already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, fiction and the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied. The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who have returned to it during the past year is that they find it better than ever.
