With silence only as their benedicton,
Gods angels come,
Where in the shadow Of great affection,
The soul is dumb
God calls our loved ones-but we lose not wholly
What be hath givens
They live earth, in thought and deed, as truly :
As in His Heaven.

of the sofes and fondest tenderness This is not the
only instance in which words in their present gen.

hand, the word Companion, instead of being the hon

Othello, with the same contemptuous meaning which
we now afx its abusive sense, to the word Eel

05-The Newcastle Courier attributes the sale of
flour at ST. Louis on the 18th ut at the extraordinary
low price of S2,06A to the fact principally that the
Wing Tariff of 1912 is on the verge of destruction"
This proves that the new editor Duggns, is proper
successor to Grubbs, his predecessor At the time Of
that sale of -four it was extremely doubtful whether
the new revenue bill would pass; the chances were
very much against its passage; SO that the seller OF
the Hour had the full advantages of the Wing act of
1912, which the new bill does not supersede, we be-
lieye, until December next But the new bill finally
passed. and what is the immediate effect on the price
of aourl 1t adUanced instantly and largely!
The Cincinnati Gazette of August 4th, under its
commercial head reports sales as follows:
.sF7our.-Sales yesterday of 25O barrels store, at
S2.75; 80 ditto, at $3.50; and 54 barrels City at
2.S3, delivered"
This is a handsome advance on previous prices;
and if we keep down the foolish attempts at panic by
the Wings we shall soon find that the tariff will
give our produce the chance for market, which the
old one in great degree cuts off

THE WHrGs AND THE TARIFF OF 1S42.-The New
York Courier and Enquirer. the organ of the Wing
party in the city of New York is opposed to the
Tariff of 1912, and in favor of its modification. The
editor says:
our readers well know; and they know too, that we
were greatly abused by the Tariff press for calling
upon the same Congress which passed it and that
which Immediately followed, to modify its provi-
sions to secure its permanency. A reduced
compromise Tariff, would be the greatest blessing
that Congress could confer upon the country because
it would render legislation this subject permanent,
and that alone necessary to the future pros
perity."

= To My Wife.


by REV. @. W. BErHUNr. s-ft
AfaI from thee The morning breaks
But morning brings no joy 10 me;
Alas my spirit only wakes
To know that am far from thees
In dreams saw thy blessed face,
And thou nestled IN breast:
In dreams felt thy warm embrace,
And TO mine own thy heart was pressd.
Afar from, thee '-is solitude
Though smiling crowds around be,
The kind the beautiful the good
For l can only think Of thee;
or thee, the kindest loveliest, best.
My earliest, and my only one
Without thee. / am all unbest,
And wholly bIest with thee alone.
Afar from thee The words Of praise
My listless ear unheeded greet;
What sweetest seemed 10 better days,
Without thee, seems no longer sweet:
The dearest joy fame can bestow,
Is in thy moistehed eye to see,
And in thy cheeks unusual glow
Thou deem'st me not unworthy thee.
Afar from thee The night is come,
But slumbers from my pillow fee;
i cannot rest so far from home,
And my hearts home is, love, with thee :
kneel before the throne OF prayer
And then know that thou art nigh;
For God, who seeth every where,
Bends on US both, his wachfui eye.
Together 10 his loved eraSTace, ss.s .as-sS- -
No distance can our hearts divide; - ss-S-se
Forgotten quite the mediate space, -

But scars the spirit far aud free, -

For then, dear love : am with thee.

From the Washington Union.

In the enactment of the tariff of 1916, Congress,

4th That within the above limit, taxes shall be so
imposed upon different articles to afford incden-
tally reasonable protessen t6a the great branches

An attempt was made at the last moment IN the
Senate to denounce the ts<sf Of 1916 as an arsto-
cratic measures operating in favor of the wealthy,
and againsfthe middle classes. But we respectfully

in the course of the tariff debate in the Senate, Mr.

His mind was relieved from great gloom and dark
