IlUn lTon disgrace. IL ~ eald tnat ma
ture abhors vacuum. suppose this
generally true in the natural world I; the
depopulated seats during this session of
the House, however, would lead TO the
belief that this law, as well as some
others, is imperiiive' in Congress-
But it must be great consolation TO
know that here nature abhors vacuum
in spiritual things.
These are isolated but perfectly in
dependent expressions. The latter gen.
teman, by his fervent and impulsive
elocution, would seem to leave the i'm
preston Of very great sincerity. 1t was
not absolutely settled in the mind Of any
member that ho would not doiT the
robes Of the statesman. and return to
his own city to supply the place OF some
shameless memorialist. il is quite dif-
fcult 10 look on this development and
not link it, by association, with an in
cident that occurred in another country

ministering the oath TO members. While
the reapers Of Israel were gathering
their wheat harvest in the valley, they

They listened, and heard the rumbling
Of wheels and lowing Of kline along the
way they saw band Of Phlistine
lords-probably Of both branches OF
their Congress-paniing and blowing,
in an attempt to keep up with two mich
cows hi,ched to cart. And for what!
Why, because the Ark Of the Covenant
was in that cart. They had kept that
ark short time at Ashdod, and wished
10 get rid of It, for only the stump Of
their Dagon was left. They were peer,
ing anxiously TO see that the ark wa,
safe out Of their own borders. The
Philisline politicians are not the last
that wish TO keep the ark at a respect
1 ful distance from their own idol.
