nS-Groat has been the boasting Of the
fogy Editors in Ohio, within the last few
days, on the ground that the election re-
turns show that in a few places, the Flu
viouists have carried the election. They
would thereby attempt to gull the intelli-
gent people of Ohio, into the belief that
fogyism is at par, and the American par
ty on the wane. Now, it is only necessa-
~ for the fact to be stated, and remem,
bered, that last fall the contest in all the
places where there has been an apparent
fogy gain--was between Fogyism and Flu.
ion,-this spring the contest has been be-
tween the American party and the com
bined forces of Fogyism, from the ranks
Of Wings and Democrats. This gerrilla
warfare was no doubt concocted at Wash
ington City, and Johnss, the government
clerk, sent out on the benevolent mission
Of organizing Sag NIGHTS societies through
out the State.
Well, the battle has been fought, and
what is the result? In nine places out Of
ten the American party has come off VIC
torious, and in almost every city, town and
county, where the true issue has been
made, American men and American meas
ures have triumphed most gloriously. But
strange as it may appear, with these facts
staring them in the eyes, we notice it as
serted by editors who ought to have some
regard for their standing in community,
as men Of common veracity, that there
has been within the last six months great
decline in the American party, and pro-
portionate increase in the Democratic
ranks, Well, all we have to say on that
point is, that we will be perfectly satisfied
II matters continue to 90 on In the same
way for six months to come. 1t is pleas
ant to take a retrospective glance in con-
templating the victories achieved by the
march Of truth and righteousness; but
we leave the things which are behind, and
look forward with a bright prospect for
the American party. w

SHE SLEEPETH.

Can truth in beautylfashioued ever die?
Can purity aud love, the attributes.Of Cod
Like vain shadow perish with the day 2
They tore her from me; in thesdarkened room
With noiseless tread and halfbreath'd whis
perings,
They laid her thero..and robed her for the grave
How sweet she lay'l upon her lovely check
The red, warm tnt,of life was lingering
Her lips halfparted wore an angels smile
Her hands so meekly clasp'd above her heart
That heart which enly throbb'd in tenderness
Held in their palms single budding flower.
They told me she was Gead-and believed,
With her the star Of many hopes went out,
And life to me was but cheerless waste,
And weary search, which had no proper aim
One hope was left, the hope that l might die
A change.came DER me, like passing dream,
| seem'd TO stand on far Judeas plains
Beside the tomb of Lazarus, woman's wall
OF deepest sorow-manhood' fearless grief
And chlldhood's artleSs query for the dead
Smote like knell upon the startled ear,
But 10 bending above the grave saw
The "Man of many sorrows"-on. his face
There beamed look of love, nefabe,
His heart, which bore the sorrows of world,
Heaved with emotions at the mournful scene,
And "Jesus wept." He raised his calm sweet
eyes,
Wet with those tears and fx'd them on my soul,
Aud in a voice that thrilled my being said
"He is not dead but sleepeth."
knelt beside
The lfeless form of her whom had loved,
And sad emotions filled my aching heart,
Which. while l strovs to speak her cherished
name,
Denied expression save to mournful sighs;
When bending above that couch, 10! I beheld
The same sweet face that wept at Laz'rus' tomb,
Who snatchi'gthe words unutter'G from my lips,
Spoke forth in tones that alone could hear
weep thou no more, she Sleeps--ouE Ida
sleeps"
They bore her body to the silent grave;
The rumbling clods upon the coffin fell,
The hymn was sang; the benediction said;
We turned away, and she was left to "sleep."

~" %The main cause Of the victory of
~ the Fusionists and the defeat of the
American party in Cincinnati on Monday
the I'd inst, is thus given by the Cinoin-
natl Gazette:
''~ at isvery generally conceded that the
eunday Law of the City Council, and the
Temperance Law Of the Legislature, caus-
ed nearly all the bar-room keepers, and
the proprietors Of lager beer saloons, to
vote the Democratic ticket. There are
upwards Of 1900 of these tippling houses
in Cincinnati, and they exert much infu-
." ence on the election" 80 |
- Why the fight was between the natives
and Germans, more particularly, is ex-
planned in the following paragraph:
- "The Germans feel particularly hostile
to the Sunday Ordinance, which prohibits
81 the opening Of the wine and beer shops
On the Sabbath. They have been nurtur-
ed in the belief that it is no sin to spend
apart Of the Lords Day in the enjoyment
Of a social glass, with their family and
81 friends, at the public saloons or gardens
3 They did SO at homo. 1t is the custom o.
their native Germany.
'le These law makers Of Cincinnati are j.;
{ set Of drunkards with hypocrisy and jcs
% uitism they drink and enjoy it abundant
ly, and don't want that others enjoy the
% glass. After all, we see clear that tn,
Democratic party was the ring-lcader o
the Germans to fight and murder the
Americans. What good American chris
tians are these democrats r.

LOCATION OF HELL.-A curious sermon
was delivered last Sunday, at the Roman
Catholic Church of the Annunciation, at
Manhattanville, by Father Walworth, a
son of Ex-Chancellor Reuben Hyde Wal
worth, of Saratoga. Father Walworth is
one of the comparatively recent order of
the Redemptionist missionaries of the Lat
in church, whose members are already
scattered throughout the United States
The topic of his discourse was the loca-
ton and torments of Hell. He under
took to demonstrate that Hell was situa-
ted in the inside of this earth, commenc-
ing about twenty-one miles from the sur
face, where granite begins to melt. He
also affirmed that heat was the predomi-
nant characteristic of this abode of the
damned, and illustrated the proposition by
reference to the uniformly high tempera-
ture of everything which had reached us
from that quarter of our globe.-M Y

A Seduction in High Life-A Fifth Az
enue Case.

Rather hard case, in which young
and very handsome girl was seduced by a
rich old resident on the Fifth Avenue, was
developed before the Mayor a few days
since. The particulars of the case are as
follows:
During the summer of 1854, Mr.. C., of
the Fifth Avenue and his family, were
spending a few months in the quiet little
village o., in Massachusetts, where
the acquaintance of a young and highly
accomplished lady was made by the fami-
ly and after some solicitation, on the part
of Mr.. C.'s family, the parents of the girl
consented to let their daughter accompany
them home to spend the winter On arri-
wing here she was conducted to balls, par
ties, theatres, &C., by Mr.. G., or some mem
Der of his family. While at one of these
parties she made the acquaintance of a re-
tired merchant, neighbor of Mr.. G, who
was living in the same avenue, who profess
sed to be de lighted with her company, and
soon became one of her most intimate
friends. In the course of few months he
proposed marriage to her, and having plen-
ty of money she at length acceeded to her
proposal, Notwithstanding her friends and
relatives were greatly opposed to their
union, as he was widower, and had
family Of three grown up daughters, and
was himself about So years of age, while
she was scarcely nineteen.
The wedding day was fixed, and things
passed on pleasantly. During their fre7
quent walks Or rides up and down Broad
way, he was in the habit of taking her in
to Taylor's saloon, and treating her to the
various deicacies of the season, washing the
food down with sparkling Heidsck. On
one occesion, she partook rarher freely of
this, the tempting and soul-inspiring bev-
crage, and while under its effects, was
taken by her gray headed traitor to den
of prostitution in Mercer street, and there
succeeded in accomplishing her ruin.
In vain she afterwards appealed to him
to fulfil his promise made to her while yet
she was innocent BE put her off from
time to time with frivolous excuses, until
her situation became apparent 10 her friends,
when he proposed to have an abortion pro-
cured This she would not listen to, and
finally as last resource, rather than to full
ill his promise, he proposed to her that
she would become mistress. This was rath-
er more than her insulted pride could bear,
md she refused his proposition with scorn,
md babe him depart from the house.
She then communicated the whole cir
to her good friends and protec-
:ors, who Immediately applied to the prop
sr authorities for the arrest of Mr. -,
on charge of seduction under the promise
'f marriage, and inveigling young girls in
10 houses ofill fame. The whole mat
Ter will shortly undergo strict inveotiga-
lion by the proper authorities when the
public may expect to see some interesting
ievelopements in relation to this modern
Lothario.
We suppress the names of the parties
out Of respect for their friends and rela-
.ions.-N Y Erpress

Was it not an impulse more than hu-
man, that moved that savage soul to for
bearance? The idolized husband of a day,
borne bleeding to her home-murdered
from sheer wanton cruelty and mad jeal-
ousy, and the power of vengeance in her
hands; for none would seek to prevent
her. Blood for blood! the savage resists
not, but bares his bosom to the blow.
| Yes at the name of Christ-at the sight
of that emblem-though made almost a
maniac by her agony-stll-still she for
bore. She dared not touch the cross =
she dared not pray-she could not weep,
but listened to the calm accents of the
good old priest.
"Christian child, the Christ sees you, he
pities you, but when the cruel men thrust
the sharp spear in His side, pierced His
temples with the jagged thorns, gave Him
the bitter gall to drink, lie pitiod them,
and loved them still He said "Father
forgive them" and He says to you, now,
in His own sweet voice, "Kaiweewi, Chris
tian child, forgive; l willpunish the MUIR
derer."
In such strain as this, spoken in the
wild dialect of the woods, the good old
priest consoles her, till tears, blessed tears
pour down her dusky cheeks, and she begs
with sobs that they will let the cross stay
on the arrows, until all her bad heart Is
gone.
Since the time that Kaiweewi buried
her husband, and with her own hands coy
cred up his grave, she has been the lone
Carib squaw No one ventures to speak
to her, for the mournfully intense sadness
Of those deep eyes, pierces the heart.
Stronger than usual among savage tribes,
was her love for her husband, and she will
never forget him. Every time she visits
the little mound where he lies buried, she
places there some tender memorial of love,
and with melancholy pleasure sits there
for hours. ..
Oh faithful Indian heart seldom where
refinement and beauty go hand in hand is
the lovo of man thus made a sacred, a
lasting pleasure. Lone Indian squaw, |
reverence thee. I had rather have one
glance at that beautiful eyc--that tells Of
faith unto death-than hear a thousand
tender speeches from lips whose dew hath
no key to thos heart. Noble soul! that
could thus lay down the armor of thine
own hate, and fold over a torn and bleed
lug spirit the mantle Of forgiveness and
charity. Christian, indeed, vert thou,
sitting the deep thrOes of hate--to give
noble birth to grace. And though no lit
tie child twines its arms about thee, lone
Indian-though no manly tone, Soltenod
to tenderness calls thee mother, yet there's
an arm above--a voice in heaven that
lends thee sustaining aid, and whispers in
thy nightly watches swceter tones than
these of earthly love, Let me bear thy
meek spirit, lone Indion-as in thine, so
in my heart, let the presiding genius of
forgiveness give to my nature nobility
sublime as thine own.-Saturday Eocning
