1t is rumored that our Secretary of

that several were granted at this rate. II
this is true the voters of the state should

The more we embody ourselves and
our happiness with theinterests fothers
the more in reality we consult our owr
happiness. Who would think 1t worth his
while to prepare a meal, where that meal
is to be taken by himself only Emu
Iation, mental lnducement, love of art, am
bition, enthusiasm, are all sacrificed, and
these are the passions which, brought into
being, constitute the pleasure of most OF
the arts OF life. Thus, when the barriers
which selfshness has put between nan
and man are broken down, and the current
of fellowship and benevolence is suffered
to flow generously abroad, and circulate
around, then shall we be in the capacity
for the greatest and best enjoyments.

little sufferer was fast sinking away-the
death rattle was heard, and she soon ceased
to breathe, her pulse stopped, and the fixed
ness OF death was impressed upon her beau

would last four weeks, and he must do what
he could for himself, and the children, and
they all were quite happy. The little boys
