P. Coolidge. was dead. but bad escaped. leaving

of persons who knew Coolidge well. and who declare
that the body exhibited the State Prison Of Maine
was not that of Coolidge. His own father deposed,
in substance, as follows:
"Dr. Coolidge man of effeminae appearance,
with very light beard. The beard on this corpse
was very heavy and the eyebrows different from those
of Coolidge. The face too large and wide the
nose too much Roman to BE- Coolidge's The hands
upon the body were much too large for Coolidge's.

great defect, have felt It severely. 1dan, in
the bloom of youth, in the mature age Of man

this be done Friends Of missionaries, look
to this important subject; charity should be-
gin at home. Old Europe has long been
sounding the horn to the honor of the Amer
lean nation, and although there is much to be
praised, yet there is much more to be learned.
a nation like young America, growing in
greatness, cultivating everything great and
lovely is bound to rise. Our young Republic,
already shining as bright as the star in the
east, the shepherds guide, on which the eyes
of all the world are fastened, old Inonarchies
making faint effort to resemble her in the
adoption of liberal governments; our lovely
land has heads and minds which even an Odin
would feel glad in praising, heads full ofloye
and greatness. Like our noble Mississippi,
swelling and oyer-towIng It's banks, so may
all the sons of liberty and independence be,
rising and progressing in love and virtue -
yet when we rise in greatness let US not lose
sight of things that are small, for God pro-
vides as well for the sparrow as for the ele-
plant. Man was not born to suffer. Nature
and revelation teach US this truth Man is
born with all the lovely attributes Of our
heavenly Father sown in his soul, and be-
comes a sinner when he refuses to follow the
dictates Of his monitor, Conscience when
he wars against virtue and reason, when he
wars against the morals Of Christ, when he
wars against God. To do good constitutes
everything that is great and noble, whether
on earth or in heaven. Then let us not for
get to do good and help to fetch the world
back to its long lost purity. Comfort and
help the poor.

GOVERNOR OF MINNEs0T


We copy the following sketch in rela ION
to Hon. Alexander Ramsey, the new Govern

Certain it is, that while the Territory Of
Minnesota gains a frst-rate Governor, The

gacious and most Influential politician, enc
who has been above the atmosphere Of fiction,
and the Only man probably in the State who

BY uotiring industry and perseverance he
