DISQUALIFICATION
No Night in Heaven.

"I'here shall be no night there What
comforting assurance is this TO earth S
children.
No night of darkness and gloom. There
shall be no fading of the light of the ceIes-
tia country. There is no need of sun, or
moon, or twinklng stars, or any other
| light for there il is glorious, cluudless
| day. No night of wearIness. How
heavily lhe cares of this mortal life press
upon the frai and feeble frame. The la
bors of single day often exhaust the en-
ergies, and we lay down atnight too wea-
ry even TO sleep. Oh, this is a life Of
tiresome toll . We gain the victory, if at
all, BY no easy warfare. We reach the
end of our pilgrimage as way-worn travel
lers come to their Journey S end. But in
heaven they are never weary. Though
their service is an endless one, yet they
are never tired of it, never tired lit.
No night of sorrow. How many a
night of untold agony the children of earth
weep away We pour our bitter tears
over blghted hopes and buried joys. We
weep in anguish over prospects suddenly
disappointed !; streams of earthly comfort
dried up; the loving and the loved laid
away in the grave. But saints and angels
in heaven know no sorrow. No night Of
weeping follows their bright and glorious
day. They who have drank the cup here
shall never taste its bitterness again, for
"sorrow and sighing shall flee away"
No night of death. "Is it night ?"
whispered dying child. 1t was night
when weeping friends stood around that
dealhbed a deeper, darker, sadder night
Than that which had fallen on nature with
out. They knew that the shadows of the
dark valley were gathering around the
gentle sufferer then. They knew that the
light was fading out forever from those
eyes that had so rejoiced in the merry
sunshine. Oh, II was a night of anguish
to those mourners, but not to the dying
boy for when the early sunlight filled
the chambers Of the east, his night Of dy-
ING was ended, and he passed 10 world
O! endless day.
Christians, are nights Of weariness, sor-
row and ~rs appointed unto you Be
patient but little longer. Soon the nigh,
of death shall close over You; but if your
faith fail no,, YOU shall wake rom lis
slumber in that blessed world of which
inspiration ham said: There shall be no
night there. .'-P1r. Rec.

TAXING A CLERGYNIAN AT Ills WORD
4 certain preacher of UnveraaIism had
been preaching in a country schoOI-house
for several successive Sabbaths, to con
vince the people there was no he'll. At
length it was announced that at the next
meeting 4 collection would be taken for his
benefit.
The day arrived, and the collection was
taken up in a hat When the "deacon'
had passed through the congregation, and
had given all an opportunity to contribute,
he returned to the desk, and gravely emp
lied the contents Of the nat upon the desk
before the preacher.
And such a "coIeciion :" A few cop
pcrs, with old buttons, pieces Of tin, bro
ken jews.harps, horse.naiIs, and almost
every other worthless thing that man
could carry to church in his pocket.
The preacher was ltunder-siruch; but
recovering his sel-posscssion in mo-
ment, and gazing upon the recollection
before him, exclaimed
"IEcII am not 50 certain whether
there is a hell or not, but | am certain
there ought to be one for such fellows as
you are, and taking his hat, left the
house.

the Bugle man Immediately suggests that
it must be replied 10 in his favorite style
personal abuse Of lis author-not only
Of It's author, but also Of those who were
active in propigating The fatal exposition.
So he discovers that another citizen Of
Nebraska City, and not the editor Of the
paper, wrote the bancful article-lhis gave
him an opportunity 10 abuse both at ran
dom. lie says he is "uot at a loss 10 dis
cover that q certain f~unctionury, residing
in Glenwood, was the author Of the arti-
Gle" and then goes on to heap a torrent Of
abuse upon his devoted head. He evident
ly alludes 10 the Hon X. p. Bonnet. who
recently resigned his office in Mills coun-
tv and removed TO Nebraska City, of
which place he is ono Of the proprietors.
Wonderful optics--m gnifcent p%erccptive

style of writing he never could have had
an opportunity of becoming acquainted
or ever of seeing Oh! Joseph Joseph

deny having written the article, had he
done it. and if it is any pleasure for
The Bugle editor to labor under the delu-
sion that he (BenneD had the honor 10
expose a rascal, don't suppose the Judge
will be disposed 10 complain. But it is
transparent to every one that The Bugle
mans only object was to find a pretext to
SANDER, misrepresent and ybuse Judge
Bennett. The BugIe editor goes on TO ac-
cuse him of having imported" votes tc
"%secure his election over Major Downs
the Oldest inhabitant," SC. What truth
IS there In this statement 1t appears
from the election returns that there were
Jhree CounciImen elected from that coun-
