every season some new mourner played lneir
part on the narrow stage Only the wItless
nld man was ever there All who had aught
70 live for. went back to their earth's idols-
Who can be irreverent in the presence OF
the buried dead We always tread softly, as
We pass between the storied stones, amidst
which age and grief always love to linger
With what beautiful propriety have the homes
of the dead in great cities been made fit haunfs
for the living No lees Sabbath resort was
our olden village church-yard where was al
WAYS a solemn presence. Now and then the
merry laugh of child might be heard within
the wall, and sometimes rosy maiden wopld
steal away from Hepsy's farm honse coterie, to
indulge her evaneseent grief; hut they only
pointed the moral Of the spot Those church
yard lessons were never forgotten.
Nor are the homeward walks less cherit he'd,
where lovers loitered, and Puritanic fathers
looked less austerc. The long days service had
sobered exuberant spirits, and tho rubdned ar
Of declining day was over all things. Then, at
the end Gf every green lane, there was hrm-
ness in the pressure Of handa, and an earnest
ness in the many good-hyes, that bespoke the
bcttering influence Of the hour.
Would that the path Of every church goer
lay through green fields. No accessory to
Sabbath worship can be more soul refining,
soul elevating, than such communion with ma
ture. Do you remember, dear NJ, the Sab
bath, church going walk we once tnok through
the green fields In memory 90 again down
with you the narrow, winding path, over the
siile, through the fields, and into the little for
est 90 redolent W tn honeysuckle and sweet
scented hlossoms SO gushing with the melody
Of birds. There was very luxury Of glad
ness in THAT woodland path. Beneath ny, the
earth exhaled q refreshing GOODNESS, damp
from wayside brock ON whose banks the
shrubs, like adorned brides, showered their
white favors Above us shinmered, through
the overarching trees, the glad sunlight; and
over and around all was the deep Sabbath
stiffness. Then was my heart full, and ! ex-
claimed, with the German poet, as 'gazed on
the gloriously unmoved " blue sky, o that
some inner creative spirit through my soul
swelled! ~
When twilight had come to the old farm
house; when Hannah, having lain aside her
Sabbath garb, had performed the necessary
household work, and Jonathan had stolen out
Of the porch door, to make his weekly visit to
the little house under the hill, then was the
old Bible again brought forward, and, soothed
by its wonted influence, would review the
scenes Of the day, which have clung to me so
firmly through all after years.

less the brother who maj occupy the pastorage
enjoy the confidence Of the churches M to his
fitness and adaptedness for the place, by reason
Of the peculiar situation of the church and
whereas it appears from the theological exam
ination Of the Rev. Alexander Dnncansor, that
he does not accept the doctrinal views of the
Orthodox Congregational Church in our conn-
try, in some important particulars:
Resoiued, That il is inexp0dient for the Coun-
Gil to proceed, to the installation OF Rev. A.
Dnnoanson, as the pastor OF the First Congro-

TO THE FRIENDS OF THE CAUSE OF WOMAN.

At the Cleveland Woman's Rights Conven-
ton, the undersigned were appointed COM
mittee to obtain the preparation Of two essays,
one on the Educational Opportunities of Ameri-
can women, and one on their Business Oppor-
tunities
Even superficial discharge Of this duty
must involve wider investigation of facts,
than is possible for any one person. Agents
have therefore been already engaged in several
of the States, to make inquiries. 1t is impos-
sible, however, to do the whole work, even in
this manner; and the committee, therefore,
respectfully ask the voluntary cooperation OF
all who are interested in elevating the position
of woman.
The following are the points on which in
formation is especially solicited:
I. Educational Opportunities Of Avssyiean
Women.
/. STATE legislation respecting Female Edu-
cation.
2 Statistics and condition of Primary and
Grammar Schools to which Females are
admitted, in the several States.
3. Do of High and Normal Schools
a, Do Of Academies and Private Schools
s. Do Collegiate and Professional Institu-
tioDs.
II. Business Opportunities Of american Women.
/. Statistics Of actual employment ofswomen
in various parts of the Observation-Disclosures
Agricultural, Mercantile, and Professional.
2. Wages paid to them, as compared with
those OF men,
3. Employments which they might fill, but
do not, and impediments in the way.
It is important that the information given
should in all cases, he as definite and system
attic as possible. Facts are what we now aim
at-not arguments, but the preliminary basis
for argument Let each person who reads this,
ascertain what is within his or her reach, and
communicate it within six months, il possible
For any worry extensive or valuable communi-
cations payment may in some cases be made.
Any pamphlets newspapers, or circulars, bear
ing upon the above suhject will also be gladly
received Communications may be addressed

THH SENATORIAL ELECTIoH IN NEW HAxP-
SHIRE.

Harry Hibbard and John s. Wells are re-
gsrded as candidates before the New Hamp-
shire Legislature for the United States Senate.
The Manchester IN. H. Messenger says that
Hibbard is the pet Of the Administration, his
claims are backed by oil the influence OF the
President, and he presents himself with plain
front for the Nebraska scheme while Wells
on the other hand, has equivocated and hob
bled during the whole winter on the Nebraska
question. We have heard Of his open and un-
reserved Advocacy of it and also Of his de-
nuncations Of it. During the first stages
Of it's progress, his talk for the bill pre-
dominated but latterly it has taken tho other
turn, and his agents present him a. an Anti
Nebraska candidate for the Senate"
The Examiner says. further:
aThe plot now on foot il to reconcile these
two wings, and elect both Hibbard and Wells
The friends of Wells are to take Hibbard to
accomplish the election of Wells, and vice
yersa This is such coalition ~ will dis
tance the most shameless Of modern times
But it cannot succeed. The President hates
Wells too cordially to admit him to the Sem
ate He would even sacrifice Hibbard, rather
than permit Wells to enter position where
he would be able in any degree to thwart his
purposes"
This is wide mistake. The President has
more Of policy than Of hatred or love. Let
the People Of New Hampshire look to it and
arise in their might, and denonnce and repu-
diate every arrangement that tends to compro-
mise justice and right. They have the power,
IL they will but exercise it,

"Thc following account of The Fist and
Last Duel ia Illinois In from Fords History of
that State, just published by s. C. Griggs &
Co, Chicago The year 1920 was sgnalized
by the first and last duel which was ever fought
in Illinois This took place ia BsllcvilIe, st.
Clair county, between AIpbonso Stewart and
VIM Bennett, two obscure men. The seconds
had made it up TO be a sham duel, 10 throw
ridicule upon Bennett the challenging party.
Stewart was in tho secret; but Bennett bis I'D.
versary, was left to believe il n reality. They
were to fight with rifles; the guns were loaded
with blank cartridges; and Bennett somewhat
uspccting trick, rolled ball into his gun,
without the knowledge of tho seconds, or Of
the other party The word 10 fire was given,
and Stewart fell, mortally wounded. Bennett
made his escape; but two years afferward, he
was arrested in Arkansas brought back TO the
State, indicted, tried, and convicted Of murder.
A great effort was made to procure his pardon
but Gov. Bond would yield TO no entreatics in
his favor, and Bennett suffered the penalty cf
the law, by hanging, 10 the presence Of a great
multitude Of people. This was the first and
last duel ever fought in the State, by any Of its
citizens. The hanging Of Bennett made duel
ling discreditabc and unpopular, and laid the
foundation for that abhorrence Of the practice
which has ever since been felt and expressed
by tho people Of Illinois.'n

THE so-cALLED DEMOCRATS.

Edmund Burke, Of New Hampshire, after
tracing the history Of his connection with the
Democratic party for the last eight months,
draws the following picture Of the Democratic
party Of the North
In Maine, the Democratic party is disor-
ganizcd and defeated In New York, it is in q
condition faf moro desperate. In New Hamp-
shire, with the aid Of the National Democrats
who have been prosecuted and prescribed by
the President and his minions-the Demo-
cratic party is barely saved from defeat. In
Massachusetts,, there is no Democratic party,
nothing but poor, mercenary, unprinciplcd,
contemplate faction, calling themselves DEM
ocrats, who yearly coalesoe with the FREQ
Soilers and who support the Administration
nominally, only in consideration Of the crumbs
which fall from the Executive table. In YER
mont, there was never Democratic party
worth saving. In short in every State north
of Mason and Dixon's line, the Democracy is
more or less demoralized and disorganized
