TI1E 82nd FEBRUARY CONVENTION. If wc thought the gentlemen concerned the movement for the 22nd Feb., intended anything in detriment to the Democratic party, wc would at once denounce it.— If they do anything that day to divide the party, there being no more cause for such a course than is offered at the present writing, wc shall assuredly set our face against it. ...

Briefly, that Convention can do much good, and, on the other hand, more harm. Our opinion js that the Republican party could more easily prove fieorgo Washington a Tory, or Andrew Jackson a Federalist, than prove the Democracy of Indiana opposed to a Sub-Treasury, or in favor of Banks or of retrocession of the Canal.— Still, it is usual for Conventions to pass resolutions and a few plain, short, blunt declarations on those subjects by the Convcution of the 22nd Feb., can do no harm neither will the passage of another resolution re-affirming the principle clearly and emphatically set forth in Mr. Wallace's resolution of the 8th January. In other words, wc do not care how often high ground is taken by Democratic Conventions in favor of the old well-established doctrines of the party. The daily repetition of the creed, as is not unusual in the Episcopal Church, was never known to injure the faith or religion of its members. Such a practice cannot harm the Democracy.

We are willing to admit that, before the candidates on onr State Ticket publicly declared that they understood Mr. Wallace's resolution to include Kansas and be anti-Lecoiupton, there was greater excuse for second Convention than there is now. The lies of the Republicans, and the unwarrantable position of Senators Bright and Fitch, called for a voice from the masses of th« party but the unanimous expression of opinion of our State Candidates goes far to settle all cavil on the popular sovereignty question, and will, in our opinion, forever dispose of the indiscrcet mcdical gentleman misrepresenting us in the

U. S. Senate. lie stands repudiated before the country. What, then, ought to be doue on the 2*2 February? The answer is easy. Pass clear, indisputable resolutions on the subject above mentioned—say nothing about men—nothing to widen the breach in the party—speak from early morning till late in the night in favor of union of the party, union of the States, and glory to the Constitution forever—take one long, hearty laugh at the "split watchers" among the 'Republicans—and then, the work well done, corno home, and go to warring in .. true crusading energy for the Ticket and its triumph.

DR. F1TCU

We know to be a gentleman of truth. courage and honor. When in his recent

speech, he declared he would never be found misrepresenting his constituents or .party in the Senate, we think he was sincere and meant what he said. Now that the worthy gentlemen on our State Ticket have published their interpretation of Mr. Wallace's resolution, and declared it to be anti-Lecompton, and to include Kansas as well as Washington, New Mexico, aud the other Territories, the Dr. cannot help discovering his position, and to maintain the character we have given hiui for honor, he will be compelled to vote against the Lecompton swindle, or resign his place and come home. Which will he do? We think he trill come home.

LECTURES ON PHRENOLOGY.—Prof. Palmer and lady are giving a course of lectures on the science of Phrenology, at Temperance Hill. As a lecturer, Mr. P. unquestionably stands at the head of his profession.— His delineation of character is in all cases read with a startling degree of correctness.

The immense crowds which throng nightly to hear him is ample testimony as regards his proficiency to instruct and amnse.

REPUBLICAN FANDANGO ON THE 4th OF MARCH. Oar readers have been duly informed of the forthcoming Convention on the 4th of March next but they may not be posted as to the policy of the Republican gamblers who are at ths bottom of it. The following extract from the official proclamation of the Black faculty, will answer that purpose: I? v•*At a iriccting'of the undersigned Republicans from different portions of the State, called together by the Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, at Indianapolis, on this day, it was unanimously agreed to call a Mass Convention, to beheld at

Indianapolis, on the 4th of March next, At 11 o'clock, A.M. and to extend to all persons, without regard to past party designations, opposed to the Lecompton policy of the present Administration, a cordial invitation to attend and to participate in its deliberations."

Take one look at the proposed composition of that Convention. "All persons icithout regard to past party designations, opposed to the Lecompton policy of the present Administration," are cordially invited. That will do! If any Democrat in the State is fool enough to be gulled by such bait, in the Lord's name let him go. Fusion is again the order of the day—to such degree is the Republican party reduced. Only think of the Frcmontcrs of one year back—the bloody-minded, independent,

free-thinkingMountaineers—on

their

knees, begging Democrats—the accursed, enslaved, South-ridden, Pro-Slavery Don ocrats— to meet them in Convention on the 4th of next March.

Suppose the day arrived, and a Democrat in the Convention. Good Lord, what a refreshing time he will have lie will be permitted to shako hands with Gov. Morton—distinguished privilege, truly He will be allowed to listen to Lane, and cheer that gentleman when he says a funny thing in ridicule of the old party—a pleasure never to be forgotten When Hull speaks, in all probability the new convert will be detailed to hold that distinguished blasphemer's coat and cravat— thrice-blessed convert! At the conclusion of the 'services,' as a kind of climacteric in the ccrcmonies, Miss Filkins will be led out to embrace him, and show hiin, as from a high mountain, the new land of Beulnh, inhabited by "runaway niggers" and all their white brethren, the enemies of the ancient Democratic parly

If any Democrat likes the prospcct, let him at once throw away his love of the Union and reverence for the Constitution, aud get ready for the journey.

PIICEN. Fl RE 1NSURANCECO.IIPANY. Wc call the attention of our readers in another column to the statement of this old and reliable company. No man owning property of a perishable character sho'd hesitate for a moment to have it insured in a good and reliable company. Such a one is the Phoenix. Let the citizens of Montgomery county discard all one-horse insurance companies, and take out their policies in the Phoenix. James Ilcaton, who is the authorized agent at this place, can be found always at his office ready to issue policies with promptness and dispatcli.

DRYING UP TI1E LIQUOR BUSINESS. A large meeting, irrespective of party, was held at Greencastlc a few days since, at which it was resolved by the unanimous voice of the citizens, chat every doggery must suspend operations within one week. A committee was appointed to notify the owners of these disreputable places of the determination of the people. At last accounts, every one in the traffic had caved. At Ladoga, a few nights since, a grocery was destroyed by the citizens of that place.

OSRORN & MOORE.

These gentlemen, so favorably known to our citizens for their eminent legal abilities, have located themselves in Chicago, the great city of the north-west, where they design opening a Law Office. Wc commend them to their brethren of the legal fraternity in that city as gentlemen of unimpeachable character and standing.

|gy*"Scnator Fitch," of Indiana, in a recent speech in the United States Senate, remarked that if he thought his course on the Lecomptou Constitution was not sanctioned by a large majority of his democratic constituents, lie wouldresign. Now, wc can assure the Honorable Senator that so far from his course being sustained by a majority of his political friends at home, nine-tenths of the democratic party of the State are opposed to his action on that question. There is no mistake about this fact, and the sooner the Senator finds it out, the better it will be lor him.

AMENDE HONORABLE.—Itiseverasource of peculiar regret that any of our patrons should have just cause of complaint, yet at times such things may occur in the best regulated establishments. By an oversightof the compositors the advertisements of Messrs. LAYMON BROTHERS & Co. do not appear this week as promised. We would now feel worse about this disappointment if we did not thoroughly know that they are numbered amongst our truest and most indulgent friends. Yet, from the fact that they are doing so excellent a business, notwithstanding a large competition, we judge the people generally know where they are and how exceedingly low they are selling their goods. Succcss to you, gentlemen—long life to your business, and prosperity always to McCleliand's Building-

THAT RESOLUTION.

We are inclined to think that the cavil raised by Dr. Fitch and the Black Republicans—a singular fraternity—over the construction of Mr. Wallace's resolution, is now pretty well settled. In answer to a question propounded to them by the Editor of the Volksblat, the candidates on the Democratic State Ticket have unitedly declared that they cach and all understand that resolution to be anti-Lecompton, and requires a submission of the constitution to a vote of the people of Kansas, before the Territory is admitted as a State. This is Mr. McDonald's understanding of it. A lawver of his ability could not, of course, give it any other construction a Democrat, of his integrity, could not, of course, be induced to play into the hands of the Black

Republicans by refusing to give his opioion on the subject when respectfully called on for it.

And now we offer a reward of $1,000 to the Republican who will find that "great split" in the Democratic party. We've got the money on deposit. Show us the 'split, and we'll pay.

HOW IS IT CONSTRUED BY THE CANDIDATES ON THE DEMOCRATIC STVTE TICKET.

The State Sentinel, speaking of the popular sovereignty resolution adopted by the Democratic State Convention, says:

We learn that the candidates upon the State ticket, in reply to interrogatories addressed to them upon their interpretation of that resolution, have answered that its application was intended to include Kansas, as well as all other Territories of the Union.

This declaration of the nominees of the 8th of January Convention, as to their understanding of the platform on which they were nominated, ought to be satisfactory, and to close all controversy on the subject of the true meaning of "the Wallace resolution." There is no difference of opinion amongst the Democracy of Indiana as to the prpper construction to be given to the resolution last adopted. All agree to receive it as it was intended by its author and by those who voted for it—as applying to Kansas. The truth is, the number of Democrats in Indiana who favor the bringing of Kansas into the Union in opposition to the will of the people, and with a constitution which they despise, is very small in indeed. Black Republicans may hang their harps upon the willow.— T.he capita! which they expected to operate upon in the coming cauvass.has vanished into thin air.

W IIVT THEY DRINK.—The city of New York alone sells three times as many "pure, imported brandies," and four times as many "pure wines," annually, as all the wine and brandy producing countries export. Somebody, it is clear, drinks a spurious articlc.

|SF*Thc dispatch from Kansas which we published last week informed our readers that the Free State men had elected their entire State ticket and a large majority of the Legislature. Later advices state that King Calhoun intends giving certificates »f election to the Pro-slavery candidates— thus giving the State government and the Legislature into the hand of the Pro-sla-veryitcs. The ground upon which he intends doing this infamous act, is that a portion of the returns were made to Governor Denver instead of to him. To suppose •that the people of Kansas will quietly submit to such a fraud as this, is to suppose that they have lost all sense of their rights as freemen. When ever he tries such a scheme as this to rob the people of their solemnly expressed will at the ballot-box, we predict his dciys will be numbered.

86T"Thc Free State officers elect of Kansas, and members of the Legislature, have united in a protest and sent it on to Washington against the admission of the Territory under the Lecompton Constitution.

The Territorial Legislature has passed an act abolishing slavery from and after the first of March.

THE CIJUCAUO DAILY TIMES.—Uriah Scott, newspaper agent, is now in the daily receipt of the Chicago Times. We can recommend this paper to our democratic fellow citizens as a sound reliable and able exponent of democratic principles. To persons desirous of taking a good Chicago Daily, we would say by all means subscribe for the Times.

®5?"Thc Democracy of Pennsylvania are beginning to hold their county meetings for the purpose of appointing delegates to their State Convention. At the meeting in Westmoreland, one of the strongest and most steadfast Democratic counties in the State, the following resolution, among others of a similar tenor, wes adopted:

Resolved, That Congress should admit no State into the Union except with a constitution ratified and adopted by all the citizens to be governed by such constitution, which majority should be real, not fictiious fair, not fraudulent direct, not inland anything short of this is a mockery, a delusion, and a snare, infamous in act and disastrous in consequence.

MODERN REPUBLICANISM.—We turn about we wheel about, we love the niggers so, That every time wc wheel about the blacker still we grow.

'Advices from Washington state that the Union, the organ of the administration, and the Washington States, another democratic paper, are backing water on the Lecompton Constitution, since the recent elections in Kansas. We expected as much. Wc predicted some time ago, that in the end, the Democratic Party would b,e found battling against the fraud.

DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT. Westmoreland county. is the Berks of western Pensylvania. We think it gave Mr. Buchanan some three thousand majority. Her Democracy may, thereforej assume to sqeak with some degree of authority upon the questions of democratic principle. In this view, we wish to call special attention- to two of the series of resolutions passed by them, in mass convention, on Monday last, as follows:

Congress' should admit no State into the Union except with a constitution ratified and adopted in all its parts by a majority of the citizens to be goverened by such constitution, which majority should not be real, not fictitious fair, not fraudnlent direct, not implied and anything short of this is a mockery, a delusion and a snare, infamous in act and disasterous in consequence "To abandon the people of a Territory to political intrigue, unfair intrusion or lawless violence, and thus defeat the true expression and absolute application of the right of self-government, would be a violation of the honor and abandonment of the maxims of the democratic party, and must finally result in rupture of the bonds by which the party is held together, and con sequently sacrifice of all that secures the freedom, greatness and glory of our country."

That the democracy of Westmoreland must feel earnestly when, under all the peculiar circumstances surroundingthem, they speak thus boldly.

We believe the democracy of Pensylvania feel not less earnestly. Our advices from that State assure us of this and so confident is Gov. Packer of the democratic sentiment that he gives expression to it through his Inaugural address.

The sentiment of Pennsylvania is that of the democracy of the whole North and it will find expression if there shall be danger that Congress will violate the fundamental principle of the democratic party with respect to Kansas.—Detroit Free Press.

GRAY AND GREELEY—THE PLAIN DEALER AND THE TRIBUNE. Greeley, Horace Greeley, is now in the West delivering lectures. It has been his custom to visit the West on the same errand every winter for a number of years past. A few evenings ago he was in Cleveland. Gray, whom Greeley sued for libel a year or more since, but which suit has never yet had a hearing, thus notices, in the Plain Dealer, his proposed lecture in Cleveland—a notice which, by the way, nobody but Gray could have got up:

HORACE GREELEY.—Thisgentleman will Iccture on the Poets at the Melodeon this evening. He edits the Tribune, a daily paper in New York city. lie is a pretty sharp writer, but is principally distinguished for wearing a dilapidated drab coat and a decayed wool hat. With the excejjtion of an occasional game of euchre or string of ton-pins with Henry Ward Bcccher, Mr. Greeley takes no amusement whatever. He eats mush, bran-bread and oat-meal slap-jacks, but avoids meat cxccpt in campaign times then he cats voraciously of roosters' gizzards, cow's tails, calves' plucks and sheep's livers. A great many persons think he is a great man, and hn rather inclines to that opinion himself.— He has written a few articles about the slave oligarchy. We believe he has also written one or two short articles on Kansas. He wears cowhide brogans, and is eccentric. Succcss to him. Long may he wave.

J©* The following address to the voters of Douglas county, Kansas, was issued by John Calhoun and his associates just prior to the election for delegates to the Constitutional Convention: To the Democratic Voters of Douglas

County: It having been stated by that abolition newspaper, the Herald of Freedom, and bysome disaffected bogus Democrats, who have got up an independent ticket for the purpose of securing the vote of the Black Republicans, that the regular nominees of the Democratic Convention were opposed to submitting the constitution to the people, wc, the candidates of the Democratic party, submit the following resolutions, which were adopted by the Democratic Convention which placed us in nomination, and which we fully and heartily endorse, as a complete refutation of the slander above referred to.

John Calhoun, A. W. Jones, W. S. Wells, H. Butcher, L. S. Booling, John M. Wallace, Wm. T. Spicely, L. A. Prather, LECOMPTON, Iv. T., June 13, IS67. Resolved, That wc will support no man as a delegates to the Constitutional Convention whose duties it will be to frame the Constitution of the future State of Kausas, and to mould the political institutions under which we, as a people, are to live, u?dcss he pledges himself fully, freely, and tvithout reservation, to use every honorable means to submit the same to every bona fide actual citizen of Kansas, at the proper timefor the vote being taken upon the culop tion by the people, in order that the said Constitution may be adopted, or rejected by the actual settlers in this Territory, as the majority of the voters shall decide.

Upon the faith of this pledge these men were elected. In the Convention, however, Calhoun and his associates opposed the submission of the Constitution to the people By their votes the proposition to do so was defeated. Upon them rests the responsibility.

From "Ths life and Timet of Aaron Burr .!* AARON BURR IN 1901. I To idd to his good fortune, his pecuniary prospects brightened on his accessation to office.. New York was then a city of 65,000 inhabitants, and was advancing with great rapidity. Theodosia herself remarks, in one of her letters, that "in ten or twenty years, a hundred and thirty acres of land on New York Island will become a principality." Col. Burr owned a large tract of land about Richmond Hill. His grounds extended to the North River, and nearer the city, there was a piece of water upon his estate which elderly inhabitants may still remember as the skating place of their boyhood. It was call ed "Burr's Pond" years after it ceased to be his, down even to the time when it was filled and built over. The progress of the city raised the value of all the island, and particularly of that which, like Rich mond Hill, lay within half-an-hours ride of the city. About this time, Col. Burr was much occupied with negotiating with Mr. John Jacob Astor for the sale of part of his Richmond Hill estate. At length Mr

Astor bought all but the mansion and a few acres around it, for the sum of one hundred and forty thousand dollars. The bargain, for some reason, was afterwards concellcd. But, finally, the sale was completed, and Col. Burr was for the time, delivered from his pecuniary embarrassments. He even had thoughts of buying another estate further up the island. It is evident that his style of living was such as was then supposed to become an eleva ted station. Half a dozen horses, a townhouse and country-house, a numerous retinue of servants, and a French cook, were among the sumptuosities of his establishment. Jerome Bonaparte, then on the eve of hie marriage with Miss Patterson, was entertained at dinner and at breakfast by the Vice-Presidcnt, who invited large companies to meet the future monarch, in whose ante-chambers Burr was, one day to kick his heels a suppliant for an audience.

Richmond Hill was without a mistress. In these fortunate years it was that Colonel Burr paid his court to o^e of the loveliest of Philadelphia's ever lovely belles, and had the narrowest escape from a second marriage.

They met, "twas in a crowd," and cach was smitten with the other's pleasant qualities. Again, he saw her at her father's table, where his attentions were equally pointed and welcome. A tcte-a-te-te, which she sought, was interrupted by the entrance of lepere, but her manner seemed to beckon him on. He was almost in love. Summoning her father to his apartment by note, and the old gentleman appearing within the hour, the enamored one came to the point with a promptness

and self-poscssion impossible in a lover

under forty. "Is Celeste engaged?" "She is not." "Would it be agreeable to her parents if Colonel Burr should make overtures for her hand?" "It would be most agreeable?"

The lady had gone to spend some days six miles into the country, and thither her lover rides next morning, with eager, but composed mind. She is all wit and gavcty more charming than ever, the lover

She replied: "No, certainly, sir, you cannot for I rccollect to have heard you express surprise that any woman should marry, and you gave such reasons, and with so much eloquence, as made an indelliblc impression on my mind."

The disappointed swam received the rebuff with perfect courtesy .and good humor. They parted the best friends. "Have you any commands to town, madam? I wish you a good morning."

ted, from day to day, that he was in the condition of a certain country judge before whom a case had been too ingenious* ly argued by the lawyers. "Gentlemen of the jury," said the judge, "you must get along in this case as well as yon can for my part, I'm swamped." But the sapient Theodosia was not puzzled in the least. "She meant," wrote Theodosia, from the beginning, to say that awful word, yes but not choosing to say it immediately, she told you that you had furnished her with arguments against matrimony, which in French, means, please sir to persuade me out of them again. But you took it as a plump refusal and walked off. She called you back. What more could she do? I would have seen you. to Japan before I should have done so much."

However, the offer of marriage was never renewed. The lover was probably himself undecided as to the desirableness of the match. But between him and Celeste there was always a tender friendship, and for many months it seemed likely enough that at some- unexpected moment the conclusive word would be spoken.

To complete his good fortune, he began his official life a very popular man. He was popular with his party for giving it victory. He was admired by vast numbers of honorable men, because he had disdained to seek his own elevation by defeating the will of a majority of his countrymen. The eclat to office was added to his reputation as a soldier and as politician and he, of all men, seemed to be one most likely soon to have at his disposal the favors which a President can confer.— There chanced to be in 1801, before the Vice President had yet presided over the Senate, a convention in the State of New York to make certain amendments to the Constitution. Upon the meeting of the convention the Vice President was made chairman by a unanimous vote.

Up to this time, Aaron Burr had known little but good fortune. He had been a successful soldier, a more successful lawyer, a most successful politician. Fortunate and happy in his domestic relations, he was strengthened now by the alliance of his daughter with an ancicnt and wealthy family. His own estate was ample and improving. His rival and enemy distanced. Still in the very prime of his days, there was but one more honorable distinc-* tion for him to gain, and that seemed al most within his grasp. High in esteem of his own party, he enjoyed also the general rcspect of the Federalists, as being a more moderate partisan than other leading Republicans.

Such was the position of Burr in the year 1801.

PAULDING,

PANAMA, Jan. 4,

On Christmas night the American residents of Aspinwall gave a magnificent ball to Commodore Paulding and his officers, at which the officers of the British line-of battle ship Brunswick were invited, as well as most of the American residents, and principle native families of Panama. The Superintendent of the Railroad, A. J. Center, Esq., with great liberality, placed the facilities of the road at the dis

The ball room was rather an unique one— the covered wharf of the U. S. Mail Steamship Company having been tastefully fitted up by the crew of the Wabash for the purpose. The floor of the dancing saloon was covered with nice canvass, and the sides enclosed with the same material, the interior being completely lined with the flags of all nations, cach flag gracefully intertwined with the stars and stripes.— In the proper places were paintings of Washington, Bolivar, Victoria, Clay, Herrera, and other great personages, aud the niches and cornices were decorated with fancy pictures.

The saloon was lighted by immense chandeliers, framed from hoops, enclosed with colored paper, with pendant bayonets to hold the burners. The dining saloon, which was a continuation of the wharf, was also beautifully decorated with palms, and the table, capable of seating nearly two hundred persons, was loaded with every delicacy of the tropics, as well as the cokl North—the latter brought out on the Boston ice ships. The music was by the excellent bands of the abash and Brunswick. The ball was opened by

He was Comodore Puulding and the Governor of puzzled and hastened to her for a solution. Panama, and the dancing was kept up till The iuterview lasted two hours, in the course of which the tender subject was daintily touched, but the lover forbore to renew his suite and the conversation closed without result. Next day another note from the lady, sent in from the country, expressing "an unalterable determination never again to listen to his suite, and requesting that the subject might never be renewed." Late in the evening of the same day, on returning to his lodgings, the Vice President learned that a boy had been there three times to-deliver a message to him, but had refused to say from whom it came. At last Col. Burr's servant had traced the boy to the town residence of Celeste. Early next mornin

It was the unanimous expression of all the officers of both warships, that they had never witnessed a more elegant affair on this coast, and had never met more beautiful ladies than those from Panama that graced the ball at Aspinwall on Christmas night.

DOUBLE MURDER BY A SLAVE-CAP-TURE AND DEATH OF TIIE DEMON. The Portsmouth .(Virginia) Transcript has the following account of a shocking affair, which was briefly alluded to yesterday, as having occurred in Gates County, North Carolina:

On Monday afternoon a negro man belonging to Mr. Sctli Benton, of North Carolina, who had been hired out to work on a railroad, was to have left Holy Neck, in Nanscmond County, on that day, with a number of others, for the place of his labor, but on the departure of the gang lie managed to be left behind. Shortly after bo proceeded to the house of Mrs. Holland, a widow lady, whom he murdered. He then went toward the residence of Mr. Whitewell Jones, but meeting him a short distance from his house, killed him also, and with a large club mangled his head in a shocking manner. He afterward made for the house of Mr. Uriah Rawls, where he would doubtless have destroyed a whole family had they not been apprised of IIH coining. Mr. Kawls went out with a doublebarreled gun, and as the negro approached ho fired but the charge being of small shot, it did not stop him, and Mr. R. discharged the other barrel with no better effect. The savage then pursued him, and was just upon his heels, when Mr. Kawls suddenly turned and struck him a severe blow with the breech of the gun, which felled him to the ground apparently lifeless. He, however, revived in a short time, arose and ran across an adjoining field, when he discovered another woman. Mrs. Bowel, but she succeeded in making her cscap from him. By this time the alarm spread through the neighborhood, and the negro was pcrsued by .several persons well armed. lie made for the swamp and attempted to hide himself, but was finally overtaken and shot. The excitement created in all that region wa3 intense. The news spread rapidly from house to house and it was supposed that a general insurrection had coinmcnccd. Messengers were sent in various directions. The people turned out in large numbers, and repaired in haste to the several points where it was supposed their services might be needed.

DEATH OF KACHAEL.

Tho curtain has fallen upon the glittering career of that great magician, Rachel. She was a great magician and no one that ever saw her could fall to feel the spell of her geniu9. To such of us as have ncvea seen Mrs. Siddons she will ever remain the type and embodiment of the highest tragic power. What a life washers! how full of triumph, success, fame and wealth! What incense was burned before her! what laurels were twined around her brow! what homage were laid at her feet! For twenty years she was an idol of worship before which the selectest society on earth bent. Her couch was of roses with not a fold in a single leaf. And now what remains?— Nought but an urn and a handful of dust.

How alien and discordant seems the thought of death with such a life!— But the grim presence has come, and put out the lights, and withered tho flowers, and dismissed the revelers, and traced' with his bony fingers the solemn words "Ilic Jacet"—the close and consummation of earth. After life's fitfui fever she sleeps—we hope well. It ianot for us to draw her frailties—if she had them—from the dread abode to which they have- beon so recently smmoned.
