Some of the rewards of temperance are honesty,' patience, truth, fortitude, per severance, benevolence, kindness, good sense, courage, charity, length of days, good will towards all men, hope, success, self-respect, firmness, compassion, prudence, justice, morality, wisdom, knowl edge, moderation, industry, and a peace-' ful end. Then be temperate, my dear reader, receive these rewards, and avoid the poisonous bite of the serpent that tingeth like an adder, and whose bite will forever darken and disturb your pathway, and take from before you all hope of a bright future. Miles O 'Rielly. The New York Sun closes an appre ciative sketch of General Hal pine's life with the following paragraph : Personally, Gen. Halpine was a fine specimen of an Irish gentleman brave. frank, manly, versatile, generous to a fault.' His personal friends were counted in every political party. Yesterday, when "Uncle Horace,", as he was fondly wont to speak gf Mr. Greeley, heard of the untimely death of 'the boy Miles' he was melted to tears tears that did the old veteran infinite credit. Another personal friend sent to Mr. John Y. Savage a check of $1,000 for the benefit of Gen Halpine's family. To know him was to love him. He was the life and soul of .the social circle, where his wit flashed its brightest beams. He will be missed in many a vacant chair, editorially, politically, and more than all, by Lis family fireside. " We have traced him in his different roles of writer, soldier and politician. He did well in all. Like all of us he was not perfect. Hi faults hurt himself and not others;' and his better qualities shine so brightly that failings sink into insignificance by the contrast. " To the censorious who would criticise harshly, we would say : "De mo tuts nil nisi bonum." ' . General Carl Scburz is making Grant speeches to the Indiana Germans in their own language. There are about thirty thousand German Republicans in Indiana. - A near relative of Seymour told a friend a few days ago, that his acceptance of the nomination "was causing great uneasiness among his family and friends, as they were convinced he could not bear up under the excitement of. the presidential life if elected. v Of all the young women mentioned in the Bible, Ruth seems to have treated her sweet-heart the worst.

JUST AND FEAR NOT! LET ALL THE

RICHMOWn, WAYWE CO.,

THE DOUBLE BLESSING. Deacon Gray bad a habit, and he car ried it through life with him, of making the wants and sufferings of others in some sort his own. The habit, or whatever else it might be called, certainly increased with his years and his worthy help-meet, during the long period of their wedded life, through the influence of assimilation, and, above all, the heavenly fruits of a sanctified sorrow, had grown to be modeled very nearly after the same pattern . So when the Deacon sat down, one wild, stormy evening, paper and spectacles in hand, and related the "news" -which was in everybody's mouth, as they seated themselves around , cheerful tea tables and blazing fires, or gathered in social knots at the village store Mrs. Gray ceased to rock back and forth in her arm-chair, cushioned with hen's feathers, and dropped her knitting-work, quite regardless of the little black and white kitten at her side, which instantly put the ball to the use a feline fancy suggested. "And what will become of Jerry?'' Fifty other people that day had asked the same question; but coming from good Mrs. Gray's honest, motherly heart, the very word sounded differently, like the same tune played in dissimilar keys. The .Deacon's eye, as it sought the open paper, fell on the shipping list; but it was quickly withdrawn, as if the glance pained him. His answering remark, most persons would have thought a very decided digression from the sub ject. 'It is just three 3'ears to-night, Mary, since we heard our boy was drowned We were expecting liiiu home from thut long voyage, and you put on your best silk dress that he bought for you in Can ton, and set the tea table with the china set." Mrs. Gray's eyes sought the burning embers, which flashed, and flickered, and glowed, as they did on that never-to-be forgotten night; and puss made another tangle in the yarn. A rain, sharp, bitter, choking, strangled her reply. William was their only son, the pride of their hearts, a brighteyed merry boy. But he was born within sight of the sea, and from his earliest childhood, when he built mimic ships, that made wonderful voyages over mimic oceans, all. his thoughts and desires centered on the blue " heaving waves, with a strange fascination which his fond parents, much as they loved him, could not resist. So William went to sea. It almost broke his mother's heart, but when he came home from his first voyage, looking so handsome and manly, with the rich, healthful color flushing his bronzed cheek, it throbbed with such pride and joy as only mother's hearts know. He had a story to tell. Far away from home, but with all the sweet influ ences hovering around his path like so many guardian angels, pacing the deck in the starry tropical night ' watches, God had met him; not in flame, not in the earthquake, nor the whirlwind, but in the "still small voice" of love. The prayers of Deacon Gray and his wife were answered, and William went back to his ship, that most noble sight on God's earth, an open-handed, openhearted Christian sailor. Then came the shock. It traced broad furrows on the good Deacon's kindly face, bowed his tall, straight form, and silvered his wife's brown hair; but we draw a veil over that fearful night, so fresh ia the memories of both. Their's was a sacred sorrow, and yielded "the peaceable fruits of righteousness." ' ' "Do you think any of our William's clothes, that you keep in the red trunk, would do for Jerry, with a little fixing?" inquired the Deicon, clearing his voice, which had grown husky. . We will not transcribe gentle Mrs. Gray's reply, nor relate the long conversation which followed, extending in to the "wee small hours" of the night. Suffice it to say that on the morrow, the Deacon's horse and team took a journey to the hovel where Jerry lived. The poor boy was crouching on a straw pallet,' in one corner, resisting all endeavors, stern ' or kindly, to induce him to quit his wretched home, that was home no longer. His father had deserted him when" an infant; his mother, in her thirst for liquor, forgot all her maternal instincts, and died one cold stormy night, from the effects of drinking. ": Jerry must go to the poor house, the neighbors, said; but Jerry had another mind about the matter, and half frightened at the crowd of strange faces, looked about him with a pinched hungry face, and eyes like those of a wild animal at bay. They pitied him, and disliked to employ force; but while deliberating what method to pursue, Deacon Gray entered the hut, and made his way through the crowd straight to Jerry. .

ENDS THOU MM'ST AT, BE THY

"My poor boy I am sorry for you. If you don't wantto go to the poor-house, perhaps you will like to go home with me. I have m little boy, and I want one. Your shal have some nice clothes to wear, if you will come. The Deacon vaited for no answer. He saw the qufck, eager look of the boy's face, the yitlding, trustful clasp of his little hand, and drove away with him. Mrs. Gray met them at the door of the pleasant faim-house. "Take these dirty duds off, the first thing, Mary," saxi her husband, "and give him his suprer, and then he'll do." Mrs. Gray wis not slow in obeying the advice. Her heart warmed to the poor forsaken bey, as his eyes rested on her face with thy, timid gaze, hungry for new drauglits of the love that had never been his before. - "He would really be pretty," sne said to her husband, after the washing and dressing operations were over, "if it weren't for his starved look. But we'll soon remedy that." And slipping into the pantry, she filled the china bowl that William had liked to eat from so well, and set it before Jerry. And so, warmed and fed as he had never been in his life before, he went to sleep that night in a pretty little bedroom, with snowy curtains, and such, soft whits bed, that no wonder he thought himself in heaven. One or two years passed by, and neither the Deacon cor his wife regretted the step. Jerry's warm, gushing love, healed the sore and aching spots in each heart, and though their own lost boy's place was still vacant, and ever would be,' they gave the orphan " all the parental care and affection that had one been hi. Mrs. Gray proposed to rame their adopted son William, but her hu-bind objeeved. Our bo3' is not dead, but sleepeth," he answered. We do not want two Williams in the famiijT;" and his wife said no more. One night as Jerry was bringing in wood through the back door, a stranger opened the gate und walked up the locust bordered path. Jerry had grown to be a fine boy. Kindness and care had worked wonders for him. "Is Deacon Gray at home?" inquired the stranger. Jerry answered in the affirmative, and ushered him into the great kitchen, where the Deacon was busied with his inevitable companion, the newspaper, while his wife was engaged in preparing the evening meal. ' Both turned. A deadly paleness overspread Mrs. Gray's cheeks, and she would - have fallen to the floor, but for the supporting arms of the stranger clasped tenderly around her. 'Father, mother!" Words and voice were enough. It was indeed their lost William. My son. Hath the sea given up its dead?" asked the old Deacon in a husky, tremulous voice. And William told his story. In a fearful storm which had burst over their vessel in the South Seas, he had fallen overboard, and all the crew had supposed him drowned, but he was picked up by some natives in a boat, while clinging to a broken spar, and carried to a neighboring island. The natives were kind, but as vessels very rarely approac'ied the shore, it was two or these years before he succeeded in signaling a ship. Who shall paint the scene? They gathered aro'indthe tea table, the reunited, too happy to do anything but look into one another's faces; Jerrjr's eyes filled with rapturous delight at the return of tl'e new-found brother, whose affectionate greeting dispelled all fears that he would regard him as an intruder. And Mr9. Gray looked from one to the other of her children, feeling that surely" God had ' rewarded her for the hour when, with hot tear' blinding her eyes, she ! altered William's gar ments tor Lor 'a-Iopte I son, only thinking of hiuj.D lying, dead at the bottom. of the ocean. Was the - not doubly blest, and 'was not her eup of joy pressed down, shaken together, nnd running over?"' With what emotion did she gaze upon her son so miraculously restored. 0'" And the Deacon said, reverenUybow-, ing his gray head, "O, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endureth forever." :, - . - And so "it came to pass,' that the de clining years of Deacon Gray and bis wife were gilded with a double glory and blessing, till like shocks of corn fully ripe for the harvest, leaning upon a double prop in the weakness and infirmities of age, they "entered; into the joy of their Lord."

SEPT.: 1, 1868. An Unpublished Incident of President! Iancoln. A respected townsman and old acquaintance was the narrator of the story to my informant, and myself a participant. According to that habit of familiarity so prevalent in the West (by means of which a man is made to prolong his boyhood throughout his life), this gentleman is known among old friends by the name of "Jim," as Mr. Lincoln was always called "Abe-" For the sake of my story, I shall have to call Mr. "Jim," as any one of his fellow-citizens would in telling it. This gentleman relates that soon after Mr. Lincoln's Cooper Institute speech, he saw a notice in the New York Tribune that Hon. A. Lincoln, of Illinois.had delivered an address to the Sunday School at the Five-Points, which was very well received by both teachers and pupils. Knowing that Mr. Lincoln was not a professor of religion, it struck him that it was a good subject for banter; and so, seizing the paper, he started for 'Old Abe's office. Bursting into the room impulsively, he was startled, to find a stranger in conversation with Mr. Lincoln; and turned to retrace his steps, when the latter called out: 'Jim! what do you want?' 'Nothing.' 'Yes, you do; come back.' After some entreaty, 'Jim' approached Mr. Lincoln and remarked with a merry twinkle in his eye: 'Well, Abe I see you have been making a speech to Sundav school children. What's the matter?' 'Sit down, Jim and I'll', tell von all about that.' And with that he j put his foot on the stove, and began: 'When Sunday morning came, I didn't know exactlv what to do. Was'aburne asked me where I was going. I told him I had nowhere to go; and he proposed to take me down to the Five Points Sun day School, to show m something worth seeiner. I was very much interested by what I saw. Presently Mr Pease came up and spoke to Washburne, who intro duced me. Mr. Pease wanted us to speak. Washburne spoke; and then was urered to SDeak. . I told them I did a ; not know aything about talking to Sun dav Schools: but Mr. Pease said that many of them were friendless and home less, and that a few words would do them cood. Washburne said I must talk. And so I rose to speak; but I tell you, Jim, I didn't know what to say. I couldn't talk about Christ and relig ion, for I didn't know much of either; but I remembered that Mr. Pease had said that they were friendless and home less, and I thought of the time when 1 had been pinched by terrible poverty, And so I told them that I had been poor; that I remembered when my toes stuck out through broken shoes in the winter; when my arms were out at the elbows; when I shivered with the cold And so 1 told tnem tnere was only one rule, lnat was, always do the very best you can. I told them that I had always tried to do the best I could, and if they would follow that rule, they would get along somehow. That was about what I said. And when I got through, Mr. Pease said it was just the thing they needed. And when the school was dismissed, all the teachers came up and shook hands with me, and thanked me for it; though I did not know that I was saying anything of any account. But the next morning I saw my remarks no ticed in the papers." Here Mr. Lincoln put his hand in his pocket, and remarked that he never heard anything that touched him a3 had the songs which those children sang. With that he drew forth a little book, 1 a ... a rcmarKing mat tney naa given mm one of the books from which they sang. Did you ever hear any poetry like this, Jim?' And he began to read a piece with all the earnestness of his great ear f nest soul. ' In the middle of the second ; verse ms iriena 'Jim ieit a cnosins in ... . . ! his throat and a tickling in hi3 nose.' At i the beginning of the third verse he saw ; that the stranger from the East was weep ing and hn own tears fell fast Turning toward Lincoln, who was reading on, he sa? the great blinding tears in his eyes, so that be . could r;ot possiUlv see the page. , He was repeating that song from memory! . Hew often he had read it, or how long its aweet and simple accents continued , to reverberate through his soul, no one can know. , How much influence may that little child's song have had in bringing him to that trustful attitude toward God which was so characteristic of him during the weary closing years of his life. And there i3 more than one well authenticated fact coming to light now, all going to show that there was more of obscurity and mystery in his origin, and of friendlessness in his early childhood than is set down in the biographies of him. Independent. Hannibal Hamlin and Oen. Farnsworth hare been added to the list of Republicans who are peaking in If aioe, and Oen. Sickles will soon be there. Senator Wilson and Judge Russell are also about to go to Maine, to help tha Republican! of that State. . - - ' , -..

11VO. 26. Onr National Finances Republican1 Economr Demonstrated Democratic Lies Exposed. : ! - ' . . . .L r . - ' i ."f 5 The statement of the National debt on the first of August showed an -appa-rent increase of something over 912,000,000, since the first of June, and although this "increase", is readily explained by , the appropriations made for the purchase of Alaska and the payment of 86,2C8,000 on the loan to the Pacific Railroad, yet the Democratic press of the entire- country, with , characteristic dishonesty, conceal the facts and make the Secretary's statement the text for a fresh .concert of, howls on "Radical extravagance." The Chicago Timet, with something of Seymockian exaggeration, ' declares that the Republican party is hurrying the country into bankruptcy at the rate of 821,000,000 every two months. Other greater and lesser lights echo similar statements, ranging their figures all the way from 813,000,000 to 850,000,000. . ... : A simple statement of facts for which wo are indebted to the Chicago Tribune, whose financial editor compiled them from official sources will at once and forever silence all these reckless scribbles and croaker3 who are cot lost to every sentiment of decency or manliness This statement will also demonstrate to the satisfaction of all fair minded men of eitlier party that the Republicans have been wonderfully successful '1 in their , management of our National finances. The debt s of the country in June, 1868, compares with August, 1868, as follows: Aug. l, 1868. Debt bearing coin interest $2,038,371,800 Debt bearing currenJuns 1, 1868. , $2,020,827,841 r 203,117,520 ' 408,973,932 10,834,202 ct interest.. 84,604,890 Debt beariug no interest Matured . debt not paid Pacific R.

If the amount of cash on hand and the Pacific Railroad bonds be deducted, the aggregate of the national debt of all kinds is reduced to 82,490,324,848. That is the debt as it stood on the first instant.. Let us now see how it has been. "increased" by "Radical extravagance:" ...When the war was closed and the bulk of. the army disbanded, the actual debt of the United States, as com pared with the present debt was: Julv 31,1865.. Juljr 31, 1868.. .$2,757,253,275 . 2,490,324,348 Reduction of debt in three years..... ... 266,923,427 Paid in addition to expenses of Government since the close of the war: 7 Pensions.... 0) 70.000.0.10 Bounties to Soldiers 50,000,000 Back pay, arrearages, ic, of army and navy 75,000,000 Indian war' .: 10,000,0 !0 .

' 11,000,0W : Paid back pay, tc, due navy at close of tbewar . 35,000,005 Paid for Alaska (in coin) 7J00 009 Grand total .... $535,458,427 Here, then, is the story of "Radical extravagance?" This is how the Government of the United States has expended 8535,458,427 of the public revenue for extraordinary purposes growing out of the war, including an actual reduction of the debt of nearly 8267,000,000. These figures, let it be remembered, are the official figures ' which we defy any "organ" or claquer of the opposition to call in question.' They tell the story of which every Republican may justly be proud. They show that in addition to the payment of this 8535,000,000 all of which, except the Alaska purchase, and the expenses of Indian' hostilities, may be said to be part of the rebellion debt the government has paid the interest on the national debt; has maintained the military force required in consequence of the refnsal of the rebels to reinstate their ' governments; has kept tip the Freedmen's Bureau, and spent two millions in feeding, clothing, and sheltering starving whites and blacks; has expended 86,000,000 in rivers and harbors, and during this same time has reduced taxation to an amount equal to $170,000,000 per annum. And how has this great work been accomplished? In the very teeth of the ; most persistent and unscrupulous opposition of the "Democratic party, and the renegade President. ; Look at these facts, Republicans, and hurl them defiantly in the faces of the, howling demagogues who are retailing, their foul slanders np and down through the land. v'vi ?;.,:. ,-, : r...: Taxation reduced 8170,000,000 annu-
