II" had, on several occasions, when bt lore the til --my, siytially distinguished himself, and at the time referred to, held a high rank. lie had many striking peculiarities; was quick tempered, impulsive, brave as Julius t a-iar, aud as ready as Hotspur, to avenge Personal injuriea, Uur Hero, among other r euliarities, alwSVi msi-ted upon having the 'lining of his hal of a jg t t color, tud on printed hi- name the white morocco alway in large letters with a p-u. acquired after having been tier parties and b ill-. Beau by the po"se.-or of sbockin; I his Iiatnl he -t. several din-Ilick-n-atiiii d bad titles. It happened that our subject, on a cer tain occasion, was spending a few days at the Capital, and having bis hat rather used up by a shower, dropped into a shop iti the neighborhood of the Whi'.e Hou-e, to ex change it. A beaver im found that fitted to a hair, and a " swap " was made to the rati-factiou of all parties. The purchaser, a u.ual, printed Uis name upon the lining of the new hat and kit the damaged one with the owner f '.L" shop without so much as noticing the number or position of the store. A few nkdils after this occurrence, our friend, who had l.eeli out until the short hours at a wine party, was stidileidy aroused about It o clock, A.M., by a violent tumult at the door. " Who's there V shouted the old veteran still asleep. " Officers !" was the reply. " Officer.- 1" a lull officer":" " The police.'' " The police '. what do they want here !' " We want the ow ner of this hat." " What hat!" "With J. 1. Haiii-' in it." " You don't mean to say that you have p ot my hat I" shouted the old gentleman, wondering nmro ami more what could be the real cause of this disturbance. " Yes we do. J.

" Police I mil 1 awake!" screamed the victim. " L'on't know, sir," said the watchman, without changing a. muscle " but it you amt, you hooii will be." 1 he old mail expostulated, threatened, and 'told them who he really was but it ould not do. " What is tlio charge !" demanded he. " Theft." " 1 heft of what!" "A gold watch, j'air of earrings, breast 1 pin arid hcvcu silver spoons," replied the 1 police man. This was a little too much.

Ju-t so. NVe can establish such laws as will stop the unrighteous work of the distiller, and the unjust, destructive occupation of the retailer. Although we cannot give to the maniac a rational mind, yet we can take from hi in the weapon with which he would slay himself and others. Neither can we give to men moral resolution enough to cn :.b!e them to re-it the temptation to drink, but by driving bald-!;-.i-e establishments from the State, we can drain the toper's decanter, and thus st--p him in his destruc tive course. But how can we bring about such laws as will secure these rc-ii!ts? We must do it by enlightening and changing convinced that alel good cause of the object In ', or that the accompli-lnnon; e possible ; we must be sure undertaken it in a proper that us hrtvc manner. Vt hen men would undertake to accomplish any general good or remove any general evil, in order to succeed they must bring their efforts to hear upon the object in a united, organized form. The united, efforts of a thousand are more powerful than the misdirected, discom-i. rted cfioits ot a iniiSioti. I.e-t the object be good, h t there : be a union of feeling, and a union of action j and there ill be power irre-is'.ihh-. and sue cess certain. Hence, when our beloved and , happy country would secure and perpetuate her pro-perity, peace and security, each county in each State, and each State in the are found co-operating ami carrying gn witn order and certainty. on the ties Hence, t on, when the armv wouui met t suc- ccsstuiiv the enemies of a countrc, it goes forth ni organized band. And, h.nv often have the charging thousands been roiled back, a brc-V.i ii mas of ennfu-ion ; routed, .scattered and driven like leaves before the slorm, by a few well organized soldiers. When the fhurcii would carry out her lu-a- Veiily design of civilizing, moralizing and christianizing the world, she is found going forth in the glorious work, an organized so ciety. And before her well concerted ef fort, error igturatiee and idolatry flee away like mists before the ri-ing sun, and the night of moral darkness breaks into the bright rejoicing day-spring from on high. Aud have not we thi guarantee of success !
