It is not the posture of the body or the com posure of the bed that will give rest to an uneasy mind.

Ler Every MAN EXAMINE HIMseLr. —It {s dangerous for a man too sud- denly or too easily to believe himeelf. Wherefore let us examine, watch, obeerve and inspect our own hearts, for we ourselves are our own greatest flatterers. We should every night call ourselves to an account, What infirmity have I mastered to-day? What paesion opposed? What temp- tation resisted? What virtue ac- quired? Our vices will abate of thom- selves if they be brought every day to the shrift. O the blessed sleep that follows such a diary! O the tranquility, iberty and greatness of that mind that {ts a spy upon itself, and a private ceneor of {ts own man- ners! It is my custom every night, so soon as the candle is out, to run all over the words and actions of the past day; and | let nothing escape me; for why ehould I fear the sight of my errors when I can admonish and forgive myself? I was a little too hotin such @ dispute. My opinion might have been as well epared, for it gave offense and did no good at all. The thing was true, but all truths are not to be spoken at all times. I would I had held my ton- gue, for there fs no contending either with fools or our superiors, I have done ill, but {6 shall be 60 no more. \f every man would but thus look in- to himeelf, it would be the better for us all, What can be more reason- able than this daily review of a life that we cannot warrant for a mo- ment? Our fate is set, and the first breath we draw ia only the first mo- tion toward our last, There is a great variety in our lives, but all tends tothe same issue. Weareborn to lose and to perish, to hope and to fear, to vex ourselves and others, and there is no antidote against a com- mon calamity but virtue; for the foundation of true joy is in the con- science, Goop Men NEVER MiskRABLE Nor Wickep Men Harvy.—There {s not in the scale of nature & more insepa- rable connection of cause and effect than in the case of happiness and vir- tue, nor anything that more natural- ly produces the one or more neces- sarily presupposes the other; for what is !t to be happy but for a man to content himeelf with his lotins cheerful and quiet resignation to the appointmente of God? All the ac tions of our lives ought to be gov- erner with @ respect to good andevil, and it {s only reason that distin guishes. As the beams of the sun ir- radiate the earth, and yet remain where they were, so {s it in some por- tion with a holy mind, that illu- minesall our actions and yet adheres to ite original. Why do we not as well commend a hore for his glorious trappings 6 @ man for bis pompous additions? Itis not health, nobility, riches, that can justify a wicked man; nor is it the want of all these that can discredit a good one. That is the sovereign blessing which makes the possessor of {¢ valuable without anything else, and him that wants it contemptible, though he had all the world besides. It is not the paint- ing, gilding or carving that makes a good ship; but if she be a nimblesall- er, tight and strong to endure the seas, that ie her excellence. It is the edge and temper of the blade that makes ® good sword, not the rich- ness of the scabbard; and so it {s not money or possessions that make a man considerable, but the virtue. conacience is the testimony of a good life, and the reward of it. This itis Ghat fortities the mind againat for- tune, when & man has gotten the mastery of his passione, placed his treasure and security within himeelf, learned to be content with his condi- tion, and that death is no evil in it- self, but only the end of man. Every man hae a judge and a witness with- in himeelf of all good and fll that he does, which inspires us with great thoughts, and administers to us wholesome counsels, To see a man fearless in dangers, untainted with lusts, happy in adversity, composed in tumult and laughing at all those things which are generally either cor- eved orfeared—all men must acknowl edge that this can be nothing else buta beam of divinity thatintuences amortal body. A great, a good and a right mind {ts a kind of divinity lodged in flesh; it came from heaven and to heaven {t must return, and it is @ kind of heavenly felicity which a pure and virtuous mind enjoys, in some degree, even upon earth; where- as, temples of honor are but empty names, which probably owe their be- winning either to ambition or to vio- lence. I am strangely transported with the thoughts of eternity; nay, with the bellef of it, for I have a pro- found veneration for the opinions of reat men, especially when they prom- ise things so much to my satistac- tion, for they do promise them, though they do not prove them, Ip the question of the immorallty of the soul, it goes very far with me, a gen- eral consent to the opinion of a future reward and punishment, which meditation raises me to the con- tempt of this life, in hopes of a bet ter. But still, shough we know that we have a soul, yet what the soul is, how, and from whence, we are utter. ly ignorant. This only we under- stand, that all the good and ill wedo is under the dominion of the mind, that clear conscience states us in an inviolable peace, and that the greatest blessing in nature is that which every honest man may betow upon himeelf. The body is but the clog and prisoner of the mind, tossed up and down, and persecuted with punishments, violences and diseases; but the mind itself is sacred and eter- nal, andexempt from the danger of all actual impression. Conscience as May’s Jrpee —Pro- vided that we look to our consciences, regardless of opinion; let me deserve well though I hear ill. The common people tuke stomach and audacity for the marks of magnanimity and honor, and if a man be soft and mod- est they look upon him as an easy ; fop, but when they come once to ob- a a serve the dignity of his mind in the equality and firmness of his actions, and that his external quiet is found- ed upon an internal peace, the very same people have him in esteem ard admiration, for there is no man but approves of virtue, though but few pursue it. We see where it ie, but we dare not venture to come at it; and the reason is, we overvalue that which _..we must quit. to obtain it...A good conscience fears no witnesses, but a guilty conscience {8 solicitous, even {n solitude. If we do nothing but whats honest, let all the world know it; but if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody elee know it, 60 long as I know it myse'l? Miser- able is he that slights that witness! Wickedness, it is true, may escape the law, but not the conactence, for a privateconviction is the first and the greatest punishment of offenders, so thatein plagues itself, and the fear of vengeance pursues even those that _ @ecape the stroke of it. It weretllfor good men that iniquity may soeasily evade the law, the judge and the exe- ation, if nature had not set up tor- => ments and gibbete in the consciences © of transgressors. He that is guilty Jiyesin perpetual terror, and while he SS @xpecte to be punished he punishes Dimself, and whosoever deserves it pte it. What if he be not detect- He fe still in apprehension yet he may be so. His sleeps To Avoid Service in Manchuria, Mienna, June 24.—It, is ‘reported of another man’s wicked-| sushorities.

It said: “There {e little doubt that there would have been serious misunder- standing between the two Govern ments last summer jf he (Mr. Barrett) had not poured oil on the troubled waters. Although the American newspapers make most of the credit to the Taft agreements to others it is well known that the success of the negotiations was in no small meas- ure due to Mr. Barrett before the Secretary of War arrived.” Much more of the same sort was printed laudatory of the Hon. John Barrett as a diplomat and a patriot. That.was on May 12. The same paper on June 10 said: “The Star and Herald will now state the ‘very laudatory article’ was left at this office by Mr. Barrett’s private secretary and we have every reason to suppose was written by Mr. Bar rett himself, his powers of self-lauda- tion having long been the envy of those seeking diplomatic position.” CASTORIA.

The per capita will be about $1 35 this year. Kentuckv is agitating the question of establishing a system of state nor- mal schools. State Supt. Carring- ton recently attended the Kentucky State Teachers’ Association and ex- plained to them the Missouri system than which he thinks there is none better. The State Department of Educa- tion will shortly revise the state course of study. The old course was based on the adepted books. Since there will not be state unformity of text-books, the course of study will be arranged so as to adjust itself to any good texts. In the recent examinations held by the State Superintendent, 55 differ- ent persons wrote. There were 269 papers. About half of these were graded above passing. As a result, eleven certificates were issued. Many did not attempt to finish the ex- amination. We may expect much larger at- tendance in the high schools the coming year. The number of pupils graduating from the grades is fifty per cent larger than last year. The best teat of the efficiency of any school is the percentage of its grad- uates entering echools of higher grade. The state institutions are main- taining summer schools for teachers as usual this year. They age fuller than ever. There are nearly 600 at Warrensburg, 400 at Kirksville, 250 atCape Girardeau and 300atColum- bia. All approved schools have large attendance also. It is a good suggestion that the commissions recently appointed to locate the two new normal schools make as one of the conditions of lo- cating a requirement that the public schools of the place be offered for model and training school purposes. The towns or cities securing the lo- cation should pledge the state to maintain the public schools on a model basis for these purposes. There have been quite afew changes in the superintendencles of some of the smaller city schools of the state. A few good superintendents are retir- ing and engaging in other business. Asa rule, the schools will not suffer thereby, for many very able young men are promoted to positions of greater usefulness and responsibility. They will be equal to the situations and conditions will in nearly every instance be better. Tammany Wants Folk for Fourth. New York, June 26.—Charles F.
