Earthly Bliss.

The pleasures Of this world are 50 tran,
STORY and fleeing, that it seems crime
for men to pass their days in frivolous
pursuits, or set, as many DO, their whole
mind upon what before to-morrow's sun
shall go down, will become as mist and
vapor. The uncertainty Of life, the dark
veil which cuts the future from the pier
cling eyes Of man, the Ignorance Of what
it may bring forth, have sanitary effect
upon the thoughtful, and wean from too
great love Of the world, Of its pleasure, or
Of themselves; though there be a few who
live to the age Of three score years and
ten, health aud youth arenot il 10 re-
lied upon, for the nipping frost often de-
stroys in an hour the fairest flower, and
The lightning from heaven often rends the
sturdy oak. If we place our heart upon
the riches Of the world, they fade away
before our sight, and the hard earnings
Of years are swept away in moment.

By J. NJ. SANDERS.

In a small n-housc, towards
the close Of the year 1880, sat an old
man and his wife and an only son.

troubled; at time hr looked thought

Both son and wife looked up at
these words, The old lady ceased
knitting and gazed inquiringly: at

expression of her face, that patriot

variance in her bosom. The son,
however, after ehcountering his IA

A Transparen, Humtug.

II seems that Judge Douglas has made
the absurd proposition to Judge Trumbull,
that both Of them should resign their seats
in the United States Senate, and 60 before
the people Of Illinois for 9 reelection upon
the question on which they differ. This is
certainly the most catch penny affair Of
which we have any recollection, and is be-
neaih The dignity even Of political iagglery.
Judge Douglas knew very well that U. 5.
Senators can only be elected by the Legs
la,nres OF the respective States, and this
foolish proposition rather resembles the last
throw of despairing ssmes'er, than the
msnly movement OF h ,gh-mindea states

geons, and they mus. be even very small
gudgeons that will bite at it.. Ii is mortify-
ing To see man OF his abilities descend TO
such expedien,s; and truly, Mr.. Douglas
must feel that his political fortunes are
sorely on The wane, when be deems il ne
cessary &c resort TO such transparent trick
cry.
