A REC MMENDATION.


When Christian People find themselves
to be overtaken by great public calamity,
it becomes them TO humble themselves under

children of men, to acknowledge His good.
ness in time past, as well as their own un.
worthlness, and to supplicato His meTciful
protection for the future.
The death of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON
late President of the United States, SO soon
after his elevation to that high office, is be-
reavement peculiarly calculated to be regard
ed as heavy affection, and TO impress all
minds with a sense of the uncertainty Of hui
man things, and otthe dependence of Nations,
as well as of individuals, upon our Heavenly
Parent.

ces as may be suitable on the occasion; and ]
recommend Friday, the fourteenth day Of May

that day, we may all, with one accord, join

MIR. TYLER ON The TARIFF AND D,s.
rRIBurioN PoLlcy.-When Mr.. Tyler visit

Presidential election, he made public address.
es on several occasions-and some m isrepre.
sentation having been made of his opinions
then declared, a friend wrote him on the sub.
ject. His letter in reply dated October 18th,
1910, has been recently published in the Pitts.
burg Advocate. We take from it the fol.
lowing paragraph, in which it will be seen
that he comedies entirely with tho scn,i-
ments ofthe Wing party on tho subject. refer
ed to:
My opinions were fully expressed at St.
Clairsville, and at Steubenvile. Al both
places, in regard to the question, "What are
your opinions as to the Tarilff" answered
that was in favor ofsustaining the Compro-
misc Bill. That it contained the pripcipl.
ofretroaction the moment the duty attained
Its minimum, which forced up the protection
co tnstanti, to what was equivalent to 40 per
cent. That the change which it effected in
the place OF valuation, and the mode Of paw.
ment, was fully equal in my view to Is or 20
per cent; and that with cessation of tho
war upon tho currency which had paralyzed-
tho industry Of the country was sanguine in
the hope and the BELIEF, that prosperity would
be speedily restored. That in connection
with this, would take occasion to say, that
was In favor of the distribution of the pro-
ceeds of the public lands among the States,
and in favor of raising the revenue by duties
ON imports in opposition to resort to sys-
tom OF direct taxation, as every way oncross
to the people, unproductive TO the Treasury,
and EXPENSIVE in the collection That In
these views was pleased to believe that
concurred with Mr.. Clay and Gen. Harrison,
so that there existed a prospect, in the event
of Gen. Harrison's election, that permanent,
system would be introduced in place of q
heeting and ever varying system which
promised one thing to-day, and produced an
other tomorrow.

"Old Nick" is fairly reused Since the
above was penned, we have seen a second
letter from Mr.. Biddle, in which he shows by
the records of the Bank that the institution
was prosperous at the time he left it. He
also discloses plot which the Bank formed
to make the New York Banks suspend at
the period of the second suspension, but
which signally failed. This was certainly
most villainous conduct, and justly subjects
the officers of the Bank to the severest repre-
hension.

they were produced by the mismanagemcnt
OF the officers, in requiring Humphreys and
Biddle to make forced sales of cotton, from
time to time, to save the Bank from protest
in England-that the Bank had no right to
do so, and that he does not consider himself
in any way implicated in, or bound for those
losses-that he consulted Chancellor Kent
on the subject, whose opinion lie gives, de-
claring that he was under no obligation either
in law or in equity to pay them-ye, tina,
he had settled his share of the losses ($3l5,-
695 44,) to avoid all imputation, or ground

In which the payment was made, he alleges
are equal to sterling bills, and that the loan

ON THE DEATH OF A FRIEND.
When in the spring of life departs
The friend beloved-and kind,
How many sad and aching hearts
Are left to mourn behind
Yet when the youthful christian dies
And leaves all sorrow here;
When the free spirit upward flies,
Why should we shed tear
The coffin and the winding sheet,
Alas, are gloomy things
But oh, the christians death is sweet
For Christ removes all stings
Then may we hope our youthful friend
Is with the Saviour blest-
And say while DER her grave we bend,
How peaceful is this rest
We leave thee here till Christ shall come,
The sleep of death to break;
Then mayst thou leave this silent tomb
And in his likeness wake.
