Said Grant to a reporter in Chicago: “I am for those and only those things which will allay all. bitterness of the past—all sectional animosities —and those which will make us a united, great people, such as we are now really believed to be by the great Powers of the Old World.” That doesn’t sound like he intended to make the bloody shirt an issue when he becomes a candidate.

‘ Do As I Have Done. MRr. EDITOR :—I have been an invalid for the past four years, during which time I have employed eleven different physicians, and was repeatedly told that there was no help for me. My brother (J. E. Gordon )insisted upon my coming to Ligonier and trying the twelfth, assuring me that Dr. C. ¥, ELLIS; the homewpathic physician, could and would effect a permanent cure. And now, after having been eight weeks under Dr. ELLls’ treatment, I am happy to state that I am leaving Ligonier with as good health as I ever enjoyed. Having been thus benefited T eannot forego the pleasure of publicly acknowledging my profound gratitude to the Doctor and of advising all who may be similarly afilicted to intrust their cases to Dr. Ellis. Respectfully, MRgs. M. H. SMITH, Antwerp, O.

Eprror:—ln your last issue I notice an item 1n regard to Jesse Newman having lost a package on his return from Chicago, which contained some false assertions; saying that he knew he did not ‘dare return home without the dress, &c., which is anselutely faise. It was a surprise present for me, If Thad even sent for it myself he would have had no fears to come home without it, as there| would have been no trouble more than some lamentation for the lost treasure. I think it an imposition to yublish such false insinuations to be sent abroad and read by friends of Mr. Newman’s who are yet strangers to me. It might lead them to believe that I am a perfectsavageand that much unpleasantness existed between us which is knowr to be false by all those around us. _ MRS, J.

| i RS ‘At Kendallville, N0v..21, 1879, of scarlet fever, MABEL GRACE, only child of WILLIAM and CORNELIA R. BUNYAN, aged five years and one month, - & e . It is but ten days since that we met Mr. Bunyan with hislittle bright-eyed daughter on the streets of Kendallv:ille. She was then the very picture of health, and as we petted her little cheeks Mr. Bunyan informed us that this 'was his only child. Little did we then think that this lovely little girl stood upon the very threshold of death. The anguish of the parents in this sad bereavement only those who have been similarly afflicted can fully appreciate. God knows how the very fibres of the heart are torn and lacerated by this rude and dreadful messenger, Death, who spares neither the exalted nor the lowly, but who invades households with terrible impartiality. -

Alas, they only who have lost can prize How sweet a treasure is a little chiid, What rapture dwells within Its artless eyes, Its prattle,by which strong hearts are beguil’d ; They only know who nurse the tender flow’r. The depth of that keen anguish aud the woe That pierce stout hearts in that a.;:lpallmg hour When death has laid their little darling low. One hope, however, gleams amid the gloom— A stat in sorrow’s dim and dismal- night, A solitary watcher at the tomb— . ; A minister of everlasting light; It guides our thoughts unto a holier sphere, - _And as we bow beneath the chast’ning rod ‘We feel an Omniflotent Presence near, . And know our little one’s at home with God.
