PATIENCE. A Scrrton. Add to temperance patience. 2, Peter 1. C.

Let patience have her perfect work. James Patienci! is one of the Christian graces. It is viituo difficult to preserve in freabnePB and vigor, in times like these. The primary meaning of the word is to saffir, to bear, to continue, to Lold out, to endure. The patient man bears evils, afflictions, toils, calamities with serene temper.

He is net discouraged at obstacles, or because results are not; quickly -attained, and events are not nlwnys shaped to his mind. Ho known that tho blude of corn does not produce the foil par in a day, thnt the acron not germinate into the full oak in a year. He watc-hcs, and waits, and hopes, and trusts for the full development of the gcrui of 4rutb, knowing that the seed of immortality con never die. h. We are living in the midst of such excitements, and BO many things are occurring to throw men's minds into a ferment, that the exhortation to possess our souls iu was m-ver more appropriate or necessary than now.

It is not certain that even Job would have stood the tost, had he been living in f-nd belonged to the great Union party of tho country, and hud Lad sons and grandsons sluiu by the reix-ls who are now impudently de- feussla awl the United States. The recent banquet given to Cassius M. Clay, our minister to. Kussia, by the merchants of Moscow, on the 19th of December, is attracting much-attention not only in America bnt in Europe. The British journals take note of this fset and regard it as an important link in the prove that Russia and the United Stales have asperations so similar, that-'their sympathy renders them warm friends.

We do not think the British journals touch tho heart, tho question. During the great iebt-1- lion, when it as if ih-s American nation would survive, our. p.fcople felt a yearning lovofor all nations uud sympathized with them in manding Still it wonld have been bis duty to have been patient. Paliencn implies fortitude, perseverance, plunk. To endure, often requires the tmblimest courage and heroism.

To in Bilmco sometimes evinces a higher virtue and more genuine braverv than to fp.c-3 death at the cannon's moutu. patient man is a true hero. He spirit, and is greater the wise limn t-ays, than he that taketh a city. He is" above conquerors, for he fans conquered himself. In some respects tha very times in which we live should tench us patience.

Are we dissatisfied with the present r.fppct of public affairs? It may all be cliiuwd to-morrow. Tlie great BWirl of events go os sweeping on, and the defeats of to-day, in the providence ot God. are converted into victoiif-s tn- innrrow. How many times during the lute war, lias darkness overshadowed our path and discouragements filled our hearts. But the clnuds vve-e scattered by lifht'from heaven, nud hope grew up ont of the dissolving gloom, nnd our-Tiii'u in (he fiual triumph of our ciinse was by the most signal Lot us not, then, despond, and the justice of their struggle and in their triumphs over the armies of theslave- holders.

They expected sympathy from their cousins in England. That however they did not receive. The friendship of England was manifested, piratical cruisers, infernal torpedoes, fulminating gunpowder, artillery aud small arms of the most deadly description all directed, against the life of the American Republic; while the so culled barbarous Russia, exr-ressed sympathy for oar holy cause, and such d'etestalion of the slaveholding traitors, as would not admit a confederate flag in her ports, either iu Europe, Asia or Amcriea. It that'generous love which her Czar manifested for Presid. nt, which bound Russia to us with links of steel.

Then, too, Russia was engaged in a similar work to our own. We were striving to loosen the shackles of four millions of dusky TUB BiCR DOOR, OF THE Between Byron and Ceorge B. SmtiH in At the close of Mr. Smith's remarks as counsel for the defense in the Oilles- pie-Palmer case.argued some weeks ago, he expressed his surprise that Jadge Paine should lend his aid in stealing the elective franchise for colored men- helping them to this right, through the back door of the kitchen, instead of leading them up in a manly way, to the li-ont door, by an iippeal to the ballot box. after alluding to the arguments of Mr.

Smith, alluded to the BUI upon the Supreme Court, some- iiug iii this wise: "The a'lasion of the counsel to stealing wonld seem to be somewhat unfortunate. After having stolen the negro from his home; after having stolen hia lal-or, his wife, and his children, a tardy justice has been dono him, by giving him the right of suffrage; bnt this bus aho been stolen from him by a board of canvassers, and mi attempt made to jnstify-the theft.

Russia performed her act voluntarily; we performed 0111 involuntarily, that is, from, a stern military-necessity.

It is also now, and as it ivero for the fiwt time, discovered that there is such a singularity between the Greek Church of Russia and'the Episcopal Church of the United States, that thesa two religious bodies can act in concord. Such a religions connection between BO influential a denomination as the Episcopalians of the United States and the church of Rofsia, would produce such a bond of friendship and amity betwesn the two countries as would go far towards rendering perpetual the time-honored friendship of Bus- sia and the United States.

The first point turns on who is the Government. If the President, then it proposes that the President nothing and Congress all. The great mnjonty of the Union party will stand inflexibly by Congress. But if we can have suffrage for the blacks, and the ful- filment of the emancipation pledge, wo am wi ling to extend general am uesty to the rebels.

But he makes that makes the following relation of a fatLer daughter being lost on a prairie during the s-torm of Tuesday and Wednesday -of last week: On Tuesday afternoon, tho 13th Mr. E.

T. Kunnion, of this town, viiit- ed Jacksonville, eight miles distant, on business, and on returning, called at the residence of W. E. Beech, one mile this side, to see his daughter, Mrs. F.

B. Weed. Aiter -supp'T Mrs. W. resolved to accompany her father home, nnd hastily clad herself for the purpose.

Leaving Mr. Weed in the house, the father and daughter proces Jed to where the horses'had been tied, and found them gone, but yet in sight. Pursuing the te.im for some distance, and finding it impossible to overtake it, Mr. Bunnion implored hia daughter to re- a ground for his veto; ard if he can veto one bill upon that ground, he can and rousf.fortbesakeof'consistency, to any other bill wa pass on that subject. Whyis-tbis in the message? Whit necessity was there for it in the message? The gentleman talks about the propriety of the thing.

Yea ss He states it of on impropriety, his judgment. Mr. FESSENI.EN. "I cannot but add another very grave objection to this bill Is not that a ground of objection to the bill That is the way the paragraph commences.

If the President had given us a little friendly advice in relation to that matter, disconnected entirely with a statement of it as an objection to the measure under consideration, nobody vould have received it with better nature and better grace than myself. I might not have acceded to his reasons, but I would have received them with all respect, andperhaps on some matters we should agree very much better than we would appear to do when he stands in the position of President vetoing the bill and I iu tho position of a Senator commenting upon it. But my objection to it was just there; he makes the fact that Senators and Representatives have not been admitted from these 3iatesan objection to this bill; and while it stands so it is an objection to any bill, no matter what, that we may choose to pass, or anything that we may choose to do, which by any possibility may effect the interest of those states.

At last exhausted nature could do no more, both were tired out, and lay down, beneath a drift of snpw Foreign Bosslp and News. Cervantes has often been suspected of. intending Don Quixote for a political satlra on the Duke of Lerma, and some recent discoveries made by Mr. Rawdon Brown, in Venice, tend to raise suspicion to tlie rank of a literary fact. Having got at the inner meaning o'f this famous romance, by means of his direct discoveries, Mr.

Brown has devised a key to the characters, by which many obscure parts of the satire are brought into new light. A correspondent, describing the ceremonies at the opening of the British Parliament, says A marked feature in the procession, was the absence of the Prince of Wales' carriage. It is understood that his royal highness did accompany the Queen, owing to the disagreeable fuel of his being on the worst possble terms with his royal mother. The family difference, or discord, is considered to arise from the circumstances of the intended marriage of tne Princess Helena with Prince Christian of Augustenburg. recent London letter has the follow-, ing In relation to two of Rosa Bonheur'i pictures: Two of Rosa Bonheur's pictures are on view at Ryman's picture gallery, the larger displaying In a marked manner that simplicity in essentials, which, with a dufl subordination of non-essentials, 13 the very essence of art.

They were seen to fall near Montauban, in tha south of France, 1864, and were quite hot, when picked up. In appearance they re- aembled dried lumps of London mud but they consist of minute crystals of a rare kind of iron and of sulpher, mingled with a peaty substance, which is held together by sulphate rif ammonia.

This sulphate dissolves when a portion of the meteorite is put into water, and the whole mass falls to pieces. Consequently, had a shower of rain fallen between the time of the fall pi the mete 'rite and the picking up of tha fragments, they 'wnld have disappeared, and have been lost In science, for the dis- to watch fordaylight. Mrs. Weed wore a beaver hood, a scarf about her neck, a shawl, and a blanket which she had hrowu on her arm when leaving the integrated crystals are too minute to at- aract notice when strewn on the surface of the ground. educational movement in India has become remarkably active indeed, surpassingly active, when compared with the indifference tojptellectual culture that prevatfecT among J'tnir natives" ow a ierr years ago.

Year by year the numbers of students hi school and college increase, and the fact forms a principal subject of conversation with the civil and military functionaries who come home on leave. They cannot yet quite see what it means. Tha large hall of the new post office at- Calcutta, which covera ihe site of the never- to-be-forgotten Black Hole, was crowded during some days of last month (December) with native candidates, who had come up for university examinations. Aa we are informed, the crowd comprised 1,600 candidates for matrioulation, of the age of 18- and upward, and S47 of two years' standing, for their first examination in arts. It is significant that among them all there was not one Mussulman four-fifths were Bengalese the remainder from other provinces.
