| LIFE AND DEATH. A BEAUTIFUL SKELCH BY CHARLES DICKENS, ‘There was once a child, and he strolled about a good deal, and thought about a number of things. Hehad a sister who was a child too, and his constant companion. These two used to wonder all day long. They wonder: ed at the beanty of flowers ; they wondered at the height and" depth of the bright-waters ; they wondered at the goodness and power of God, who made the lovely world. : : » * They used to say to one another sometimes, “Supposing all the children on the earth were to die, would" the flowers and the water and the sky be sorry?” They believed they ‘would be sorry¢ - For, say they, the buds are the clgidren of the flowers, and the littlejpla!il streams that gamble down the hillside are the children of the waters; and the small bright specks playing athide and go seek in the sky all night,’ must surely be the children of the stars ; and they would be all grieved to see their playmates, the children of men, no more. There was one clear star that used to come,out in the sky before the rest, near the church spire, about the graves. | It was larger and more beautiful, they thought, than all the rest, and every' night they watched for it, standing at the window. Whoever saw it first cried out, “I see the star !” And often they cried out both together, so well they knew it would rise, and where,— So they grew to be such friénds with it that before lying down 'in their beds they looked out once again to bid it good night; and when turning round to sleep.they would say, “God bless the star.” : e

But while she was still very young, oh, very; very young, the gister drooped, and came to be so week that she could no longer stand in the window at night; and then the child looked sadly -out by himself, and - when he saw the star, turned round to the pale, paticnt face on the bed: «I see the star 1”7 S

And so the time came all too soon, when the child looked out alone, when there was no face on the bed; and when there was a little ‘grave among the graves, not there before ; and then the star made long rays down him, as he saw it through his tears. - . Now, these rays were bright, and seemed to make such a beautifyl, shining way from earth to heaven, that, when the child wént to his solitary bed, ke dreamed that, lying where he was, he saw a solitary train of people taken up that shining road by angels. And the star opening, showed him a great world of light, where many more such angels waited to receive them. And these angels, who were waiting, turned their beaming eyes upon the people who were carried into the star; and some came out from the long rows in which they steod, and fell upon the people’s necks and kissed them tenderly, and went away. with them down_avenues of light, and were so happy in their company that, lying in bed, he wept for joy. -

- But there were many angels who did not go with them, and among them one he knew. The patient face that had once lain upon the pillow was glorified and radiant, but his heart found out his sister among all the host. His sister’s angel lingered near the entrance of the star, and said to the leader among those who Lad brought the people thither : “Is my brother come ?” And he gaid “no.” : ' She was about turning away hopefully, when the child stretched out Ylis arms and said : . » “Oh, sister, I am here, take me.” And theri she turned.her beaming eyes upon him, and it was night ; and the star was shining into his room, making long rays down toward him as he saw it through his tears. : From that day forth the child lookout upon the star as the home he was going to, when his time should come, and he thonght he did not - belong to earth alone, but to the star, too, because of his sister’s angel gone before. There was a baby born to a brother to the child, and while he was so little that he he had never yet spoken a word, he stretched out his tiny form and died.

Again the ¢hild “dreamed of the open star, and of the company of angels, and the train of people; and all the rows of angels with all their beaming eyes turned upon those people’s faces. . 7

Said his sister angel to the leader of the angels : sl : - “Is my brother come ?”’ oy * And he gaid, “No, not that one, but another.” f . As the child beheld his brother’s angel in her arms; he eried; “oh sister, lam here. Take me.”

~And she turned and smiled upon him, and the star was shining: He grew to be a ‘young man, and was busy with his book when an old servant came to him and said :

“Thy mother is no more. I bring her blessings on her darling son.” - Again at night he saw the star, and all the former company. Baid his gister’s angel to the leader: - ' “Is my brother come 7" . And he gaid, “Thy mother.” A mighty cry of joy went forth through all the star because the mother was re-united to her children. And he stretched out his arms .and cried : “Oh, mother, sister and brother, T am here. ; Take me.” And they answered : “not yet,” and the star was shinWos 5 ALk el ¥ § . He grew to be a man whose hair ‘was turning gray, and.he was sittin in his chair b{ t{'e‘ fireside, h’éavg wit% grief, and with his face bedewed with ‘tears, when the star opened once again, - Baid his sirtes’s angel to the leader: “Is my brother come < '+

. “Nay, but his maiden daughter.” And the mansaid : “My daaghter’s ‘head is on my mother’sibosom, and at her feet.is the baby..of old: time, and can bear the parting from her. 1 //God ‘be praised 1” i Dk | Kn’d the atar was shining. ol - Thus the child came 16 be ‘a-old 'man, and one night as h‘d'fif‘?dﬂhis | bed, his children near, he cried, as he

had cried so long ago : “I seethe star.” They whispered to one another : ‘he is dying.’ And he said ‘lam. My ‘age is falling from me like a garment, ‘and I move toward the star like a child. Oh,My Father, now I thank Thee that it hag’so often opened to receive those who await me.’ s ~_And the star was shining, and it ~shines upon his grave. ; Amalgamation, = 'Fhe Cincinnati Gaasette, an influential radical paper, takes a bold stand in favor of the intermarriage of whites .and blacks, and a mixture of the races as the legitimate fruits of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. The Ga#elte, in advocating that hideous spectacle, advances the following astonnding argument : : % “To lay down the principle that all’ citizens eﬂall be made equal; before the law, and then to divide by law into classes forbidden to intermarry because, it will degrade one class, brings our great principle at once to abentgi:y.— By the same rule we may build upon the principle of equal rights all the caste distinction of the Hindoos. : What is the theory of this interdiction of marriage between whites and blacks ? It is declared that whereas the blacks are inferior, the mixture will corrupt the blood of the whites, and the progeny will be inferior to the -whites. ot : Is it not rather late to hold this theory after we have accredited the blacks with equal ‘capacity, and given them equal power in the Government? If the corporeal mixture would degrade our blood, would not the political mixture degrade our Government? . And is it not a duty to preserve the purity of our Governmentas much as our race, gince a corrupt Government directly corrupts the people ? . We have gone too far to retain any such distinctions. Would it not be an anomaly, if a black man might be a Senator or President to the honor of the American principle of equal rights and equal capacity, but might not marry the meanest white woman?

Should we not present a pleasing spectacle if our President were straining law and official px;op:_ietg to -procure the annexation of San Domingo, to make citizens of a people with whom our white citizens cannot intermarry, because it would debase their race ? e : There are to many absurdities in this marriage prohibition to permit it to stand. And, besides, such a restriction upon the inalienable right to the pursuit of marriage—which is synonymous with the pursuits of happiness—is clearly an infringement of the priviliges and - immunities of citizenship, and is, therefore, forbidden by the Fourteenth Amendment.”

Let Republicans carefully read and consider the above fearless expression of one of their leading journals.. Fhe democracy again warn them of an approaching = evil, repressible only by a united effort to hurl from power the men who thus seek to debase our Jaws. ]

. Living Beyond their Me_nns,. ‘Bulwer says that poverty is only an idea, nine cases out of ten. Some men with ten thousand dollars a year suffer more for the want of means than ethers with three thousand dollars.— The reason is, the richer man has artificial wants. His income is ten thousand dollars and he suffers enough from being dunned for unpaid debts to kill a sensitive man. A man who earns a dollar a day and does not run in debt, is the happier of the two.— Very few people who have never been rich will Eelieve this ; but' is true.— There are thousands and thousands with princely incomes who never know a moment’s peace, because they live above their means. There is really ‘more happiness in the world among the working people than there are among those who are called rich.

The following is sent out by the Light House Board of the Treasury Departmeut: “The following recipe for whitewashing has been found b{ experience to answer on wood, bric and’ stone, nearly as well as oil paint, and is ‘much cheaper: Slake a half bashel of unslaked : lime with boiling water, keeping it covered during the process. Strain it and add a peck of salt, dissolved in warm water : three pounds of ground rice put in boiling water, and boil to.a thin paste ; half a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and a pound of clear glue, dissolved in warm water ; mix these well together, and let the mixture stand for several days. 'Keep the wash thus prepared in a kettle or portable furnace, and when used put it on as hot as possible with paint or whitewash brushes.” |

There is a ‘new use for petroleum. One Sgmuel Byrant, of Carrolton, Miseisa?:;;i,. has discovered. that it will make the hair grow. The way that he found out this new in'oierty‘ of icoal oil was simply this. . He-had a large boil on the bald place on his head, which gave him much pain, and in the absence of anything else, he rubbed coal oil on it. He says it removed the pain almost instantly, so he contlnnes to rub on the oil until the boil was entirely. well, when, to his surprise, he found a thin coating of hair coming out over the bald place. He contin‘ned the use of the oil a month or two and now has a heavy coat of hair on hishead. 7 . o £ Ohio. U

The political outlook in Ohio is very favorable to the Democracy. It is con: ‘ceded that all the Districts .in that Btate b present' represented in- Congress; by Democrats will retarn’ Democrats’ at ‘the ' October 'etection. ’ The Radicals concede three additional Districts, while they admit several inore to be in.doubt.: . The Democracy will gain not lessthan six and ‘probably nine in the ‘Congressional dele“gation, and from preserit appearsnces are likely to'elect theit Staté ticket, Within the last seven yedra thie Radiesl majority in Ohio hasbeen reduged something over ‘hfnety five thousand, and it 1s altogether probable that it'will be wiped out entire ly in Oatober, S s i

| Let Prudence Prevail. From the Evansville Courier. . In the campaign of the present year it is patent to the calm observers of the field that there will be an overwhelming triumph of the demsocratic party. The tide is setting 8o decisively in the democratic direction that we have reason to expecta victory, which will atone, in a great measure, for the defeats and errors of the past decade. : - But while the prospect is good, we must relax no effort to make a democratic success ‘an assured event. To this end we must put in the field our best men. Even in the stronges democratic localities we can not afford ta carry needless weights. Let us march to the contest light —no needless baggage to encumber the valiant soldiery of the democratic army. In every instance give us strong men, true men, faithful adherents of a good cause. Above all things, democrsts, discard that prejudicial sentiment that ‘we must reject all mendwho, in the past, have affiliated with the republican party. Our party has been in the minority. In order to be the winners in this contest, we must have recruits from the republican ranks, Without the aid of republicans, we cannot be in the majority in October. Then let us welcome to our aid the gallant men, the true men, the honest men who leave the radical ranks and give us their aid, their -encouragetent and their votes. 4

The democratic fold should stand with its doors open for the reception of recruits. Let us rejoice over the one who joins his fortunes with us at this hour rather than over the ninety and nine who went not astray. ) :

In our conventions, ih our meetings, in oar primary assemblies it will be found the part of wisdom to counsel with thuse who have been opposed to us but are now our friends. i

We earnestly trust no democrat, so called, is now attached to our party merely for the sake of office. The democrat who regards a nice office, with fat fees, above the guccess of a gredt cause, at this juncture, is entitled to no respect. To such persons, if any there be, we say BEWARE. For if by your efforts a defeat shall be suffered, you only secure in the hearts of homest men a treasure of matter to be expended for your especial discomteiture at a future day! * : il O PO———— * Natural Justice. A somewhat remarkable case of natural and artificial justice was seen near Minneapolis, Minn,, a few daysago. Three women—a mother and her two daughters—purchased an acre of ground, and set about building a hennery, in which, when it had been finished, they themselves lived till such time as they could build a house. One night an evil-minded Scandiixgvian, who had previously been seefi prowlifig about, came to this hennery, or dovecote, accompanied by several other spirits worse than himself. These gentry demanded admittance, and, being refused, tried to break in. Two of the ladies left the house, and were running to a neighbor’s to obtain assistance, when the cries of her who had been left behind caused them to go back ; they were attacked, but one of them drove the assailants away by using a hatchet in a very lively manner. The men with%w, and a day or two after‘wards the Scandinavian, while digging in a cellar, was approached by the three women and a man. One of the women took his spade away and struck him on the head with It. The others threw a soaped rope over his head and pulled lustily while the man and the other woman almost beat the life out of him. This was natural justice. The artificial consisted in the Scandinavian’s complaining to a 'magistrate, and having the women arrested and fined. ) j i

i An lee Cave. . Nearly all- the ice used on the Pacific coast is obtained from a never-failing ice cave in the northern part of Oregon. This remarkable subterranean cavern, where the ice remains in perfect state the year round, is situated on a stream known as the White Salmon, which empties into the. Columbia river on the Washington _Territory side, about thirty miles below the Dalles. ' The entrance to this icy chamber is uear the base of Mount Adams, - which stands twenty miles from the Co‘lumba, and whose melting waters constitute the waters of the _WhitefsﬂmoniiThe dimensions of the cave are vast, extending many miles, The snowy moun. _tain and the scenery inside are supremely ! grand. The ice is found in columns, ; formed by water falling from above _and .congealing as it falls. These columnsare .cut in bloeks and conveyed upon pack ’ animals to the Columbia. river, and from there are shipped to all the markets on i the coast, ; el O —ee g Horrible Crime. The Oshkosh Northwestern learns from 8 ‘correspondent at Stockbridge, Calumet county, Wisconsin, of one of the'most horrible erimes which have been lately made known, If appears: that a resident of that place enigaged a widow to -become ‘his housekeeper, and, under promise of marriage, seduced her. He procured an abortion upon her, snd'they ‘continued to live together.

A Niece Little Story. ke Once upon a time, there was a young lady who had three pretty teeth in her mouth. She bought them of a dentist, and they were fastened to & beautiful, patent vulcanized rubber plate. . This young lady could eat almost' anything with ber new teeth, and she felt very proud of them ; they were so useful, and looked so well when she smiled. One day she was eating dinner, just as fast as she could, and she got choked with a’ piece of bone. Then she ran into the wood-shed and coughed until the tears came into her eyes, and her father came .out and |pounded her shoulders, and her mother came out and made her drink a pint of water and finally she got better ; but alas! -her new teeth were gone. So hereelf, and her father,and her sister,; and her two sisters, and her big brother, and the servant girl, and the neighbors little boy, looked all over the wood-shed for those teeth, but they could not find them. Then the young lady was scared, and shesaid to her ‘mother: “O, mother, I felt something bhard in my thliroat when I drank that water, and I have swallowed my teeth, and I shall die—l know: T shall die—and what shall I do.” ’

That scared the mother, and she put the young lady in bed and sent for the dootor. Well, the teeth made her very sick. You know how thin people get sometimes from the gnawings of remorse, and of course, the gnawings of three patent poreelsin teeth would be much worse. The doctor could do nothing, and the young lady kept getting worse and worse, until the doctor said she could not live more than twenty-four hours. That very day the neighbors little boy found the three lost teeth 'in the back yard where they had been thrown while the young lady was coughing.: He took them im and showed them to the young lady who said she felt a good deal better, and got up and dressed. She is well now, but she always takes out ber teeth before eating dinner. 15 iy i g S S — { : g Leap Year. i Atong the Cossacks of the Urkaine leap year is eternal.

If she meets with a refusal, she declines to leave the house, and such conduct is ‘usuallj crowned with success.

A Specimen of Mormon Incest. | The Virginia City (Nevada) Enterprise of the 2nd inst. publishes the following : A young man named McCall, a Scotchman by birth, and about 23 years of age, who arrived in this city a few days since from, Salt Lake, tells a-curious story of his experience among the Mormons, which we give for what itis worth.., He says that himself and sister became converts ‘to the Mormon. faith in Ireland, and that, with other converts picked up in England and Tlreland, they were brought to Salt Lake. After living in Salt Lake a short time, his sister, being told that she must mafry some one, took it into her head that she would like to marry him—her own brother. ' He' objected, and she went to Brigham about the matter, and was told that it-was-‘allowable for her to marry her own brother. She now: declared that she would marry no one else, and insisted upon her brother taking her as his wife. He now. went to ‘Brigham, “‘believing his sister had not told him the truth, and was told that any man might’ marty any woman, the main thing being. to. increase . and multiply. - Finally the brother and sister were niarried after some Mormon form, and, atter the ceremony, the brother, being ‘horrified ‘at what he had done, watched his chance and ran away without going heme. ' " Although this story appears too cutrageous for belief, the young man (who is Liere looking for work in the mines) tells it for the truth. Some of the well authenticated marriages are'bad enough, but this is a step beyond them all. -~ . -~ . The Issue Falrly Stated.

P L T Tl T .+ How Taxes Are Reduced., - The tariff bill of Schenck’s, that finally passed Congress, should have been termed & bill for incressing, ‘instead of reducing the taxes. It was a bill in the interests of the manufacturers, Congr?q’man Hooper, largely interested inh“cotton man ufacturing, was provided for. He got his chief cotton clause in the bill. That feature of the bill is impudent and outrageous. Page 5, line 100, the bill reads: . ““On all manufactures of cotton, the quantity or value of which can be estimated. or -based upon <measurement 1n square yards, and not otherwise provided tor, if unbleached, five cents per square yard;'if bleached, five cents per square yard, and in addition thereto, ten per cent. ad valorem.: A

- “If colored, stained, painted, or printed in whole or.in part, five cents per square yard, and in addition thereto, twenty per cent..ad valorem; provided, that, if the duties imposed by this section upon man‘ufacturers of cotton shall amount to less than thirty-five per cent. ad valorem, then the duty shall be assessed -at the rate of thirty-five per cent. ad valorem.”” . -

The Free Trader points out the object of this piece ofclass legislation. It says: ~ Thisact does not simplify the existing duties.on all kinds df manufactured cotton goods. There are no less than twen-ty-five different rdtes of duties on cotton goods at-present. ‘These aré not touched by the act; as the words not otherwise provided for, leave all the old duties intact, as they are already provided for. If, after the word ornERWISE, the word -HEREIN had been inserted, all the twentyfive existing different duties on cotton _goods would have been swept away, and “the above two' rates would have taken their places. - But, in the existing tariff, there is a clause, that onany cotton goods not otherwise provided for, a duty of thirty-five per cent. shall belevied. . Now, it is'a fact, that notwithstanding twenty-five enumerated duties on cotton goods, there are still & number -of fabrics, imported which do not come under its provisions and which consequently Ray only thirty-five per cent. duty ; these Mr. ‘Hooper has now succeeded, through his friend Mr. Schenck, in shutting out en(tirel’-. . 3 o \ - - Thus, for instance, if a square yard of cheap ‘cotton cloth does not-exceed in weight five ounces and costs eight cents a ‘yard abroad, it pays now thirty-five ‘per “cent, duty, or say two and eighty-one hundr¢dth cents per square yard, because it is notl provided for in the twenty-five enumerated duties. We imported in 1868 of these unprovided-for,.cotton fabrics, exceeding two million dollars. If the mew, shameful act goes into operation, a gard of printed eloth, as above, costing eight cents, would be subject to a duty ot five cents per square yard, and twenty per eent. ad valorem, or to six and sixty-one hundredths per square. yard, an‘increase over the present rate of nearly three hundred per cent. * . $ i - We have only space to point. out one item of this shameful, barefaced act of appressing-the poorer classes of the people, especially the farmers, who use so great quantities of this class of gopds.Our loss in revenue will be $700,000, while the consumers will have to pay in--creased prices for their lightcotton fabrics tor. the benefit of monopolies. , This is reducing taxes witlia vengeance, indeed !

Publieation of Commissioners Pro- : ceedings. o - The Crown Point Register, of the 11th inst., comes out strongly in favor of the publication of the doings of the county commissioners, and the itemizd receipts .and expenses; .of the county.- Although the expenses of such publication would be something, the investment would be a profitable one to the people. . The people ought to be thoroughly posted as to.the amount of money they pay in taxes, and the uses to which it is put. . -“In an article of considerable lengtly -the Register states the following facts relative to the management of affairs in Lake county : It takes, on an average, $14,000 to pay the county. expensesfor one year; yet, according to the statement of the auditor, there was paid out last year, on account of county expenses, over thirty-sii thousand dollars, when there was no cauge ‘for unusual expenses. Would nof the people like to see an itemized statement -of uses to which this money was put,and = would they not be willing to pay the ex- - penses of publishing it ? It is not probable that every county presents asstrong arguments in favor of publishing itemized statements of county expenses as Liake does; but if the affairs of a county are ~well managed, the people like to see an authoritative statement of it ; and if they are badly managed. the sooner the people know. it, the better.—Plymouth Democrat. ———t o | Reading by Maehine.
