Take him out of the saloon, lead him
into the court of the seraglio, prepare
everything for his death, and wait my
orders"
The slaves obeyed, and Minus follow
ed them, laughing, into the court of the
seraglio. They passed by the head of
the disobedient eunuch. Then Semira-
mis- placed herself on balcony. Minus
suffered his hands to be tied.
Hasten to the fortress, Zopire; you
to the camp, Abraham; Assar, do you
secure all the gates in the palace" J"
These orders were given in whisper,
and executed Immediately.
Beautiful queen" said Minus laugh
ing, "tbis comedy only wants its denOue-
mert 4; pray let it be promptly DONE"
"I WILL" said Semiramis. Slaves,
recollect the eunuch-strike !"
They struck. Minus had hardly time
to utter a cry, when his head fell upon
the pavement, the smile was still on his
lips.
"Now | am queen of Assyria !" ex-
claimed Semiramis, "and perish every
one liks the eunuch and Ike Minus, who
dares disobey my orders !"

In Warren county. Ohio, two mem
bers of the Democratic Central Commit
tee have come out for Fremont. The
Cincinnati Commercial says:
In our City Council. at its Organiza-
there was but one Republican; now there
are eight members who are decidedly
for Fremont, and several more lean that
way quite perceptibly. In the School
Board the changes are equally numer-
Gus. And of Ex- CoInclmen, Ex-Sher-
ifs, Judges. Doctors, Lawyers, &C., who
have declared for Fremont, there seems
to be no end.
In the Democratic back bone counties
of New York, the stampede from tho
pro slavery ranks is overwhelming. For
instance, in Herkimer county-year in
and year out heretofore as true to De-
mocracy as the needle 10 the pole-the
Courier, the organ of the party, refused
to run up the Cincinnati nominations,
until County Convention should deter
mine what should be done. A letter
says:
1.-The Convention was held on the
12.h inst. 1t was attended by full del
egations of truest men in the county
The question of endorsing Buchanan
and the Cincinnati platform was distinct
ly presented. After discussion, it was
unanimously resolved by the Convention
to repudiate both They then resolved
to support Freedom and Fremont
"The Mohawk Courier will hoist tho
Fremont ticket in its next issue, in ac-
coldance with the decision of the Coun-
| ty Convention"
In old Democratic Jefferson County,
the changes are no less striking. G. B.
Hoard, late Democratic county Clerk :
J. D. Marsh, now Democratic county
Clerk John Winslow, and B. Maxtons
Democratic Members of the Assembly;
H. Danforth, Democratic member of the
State Constitutional Convention, and
Willard Ives, Democratic member of the
last Congress, have all come out for Fre-
mont. This feeling extends to St Law
renee county, showing that the Silas
Wright Democracy repudiate Buchanan
and the platform which he has spread
himself upon.- Cleveland HeIGld.

FORGIVE QUICKLY.

MANY a true heart, that would have
come back like dove to the ark, after
its first transgression, has been frighten-
ed beyond recall by the angry look and
menace-the taunt, the savage charity
of an unforgiving spirit"
These are strong words, and many
reader may thing they do not touch him
or her, as one who has never erred in re-
fusing 10 forgive penitent sinner. Per-
haps not; and then again perhaps you
have.
Are you a parent? Your child has
broken your commandment, incurred
your di"pleasure and has been living for
some hours under your frown, have you
hailed the first signs of sorrow, encour-
aged him to come back and confess his
fault, while your own tears fall fast on
his head, those silent witnesses cf our
grief and willingness to forgive? Or
have you kept him at a distance, repell.
ed his rising sobs of contriiion, that he
might be altogether broken down before
he becomes penitent at your feet ?
Are you a friend And when one
whom you have loved and trusted has
grievod and wounded you, do you sur
round yourself with coat of mail, lest
you should discover to him the weak
ness of being anxious to forgive and for
get? Oh it is Ike man TO sin, "to
forgive is divine l'
Read that story of the prodigal son ;
that wondrous epitome of the gospel
that inspired drama in which tie sinner
and the Saviour are seen, and all the
ways of mercy towards the erring and
the lost are painted on canvass, 10 the
life. While be was yet great way off
the father saw him, ami had compassion,
and ran and fell on his neck and kissed
him. So God the Saviour saw the re-
turning sinner; the fist emotion of strug-
Cling sorrow, he not only saw but he
planted there And with what Joy he
hastes TO welcome prodigal sinners; not
the righteous, but the sinners he came
to call and save.
Let us be in haste to forgive. Along
the path even of our enemy, let the sweet
waters OF our kinkness flow; he will stoOp
to drink, and it will do him good as
medicine. 1t is Godlikc TO overcome
evil with good; toprOffer forgiveness be-
fore there are signs of repentance, that
the offer may stir The soul of the erring,
and show him that the way of return is
open, and the Joy of forgiveness is even
greater than that of uninterrupted love.
Such spirit would shed balm on
the household where discord reigns.--i
Parents and children, husbands and
wives, friends, christians, the whole fam
lily of man, would be happier and better
for remembering that he who forgives is
more like the Saviour than he who nev-
er gives up.

THE GENTLE HEARTED.
BY EMILY J. ADAMS

o, well do We love her,-her voice like a bird
Through all the long day. warblng sweely, is heard
As around about fitting, from room to room,
She is everywhere busy, dispeliing the gloom
Por never her shadow falls down on the foor,
But the sunbeams as softly steal in at the door.
she sings, and she can not well help it, wcen,
For there is fount Of sweet music within,
As pure as the waters. as sparkling and bright,
1t, warbling and gushing, springs up to the light ;
Through all kinds of weather, the good or the i'll,
Through gladness and sorrow, she Earbles on STILL
And sometimes she weeps-full often we know,
So gentle is she that her eyes will O'eraOW
With each accent OF sorrow she chances to hear,
As the tones of the weeper are borne to her ear,
Her tears on their hearts fall rain on the flowers
Her smiles shine through them as the sun thrcusi
the showers.
While her voice, gliding oct in its musical flow,
Becomes, as she weeps, still more gentle and low
Each tear drop that trembling still hangs in its blue
Assumes such pure, such iris-like hue,
That token of promise to them re appears,
The rainbow of Hope gliding ont of her tears
Yet sometimes we fear that our darling may Ioam
With another to cheer with her presence his home.
Who wins her is blest she will bring to his heart
A vision, whose beauty will never depart.
His path will be bright, 60 wherever he may,
An angel will smile all the shadows away.

The VALUE OF DEAD Men IN SAN
FRANcIsCo.--The San Francisco True
Californian relates story which throws
ballot bcx stufing entirely in the shade.
1t says that the Vigilance Committee, in
their investigation into the case of
Thomas B. Cunningham, have elictied
satisfactory evidence that he was in the
habit, while connected with the Office of
Coroner of the county, of disinterring
the bodies of persons who had been
buried, for the purpose of dropping them
in the docks, and thus receiving the fees
attending an inquest. In this way, it is
said, one body has been made to do ser
vice three or four times, or as long as it
would hold together.

I saw pale mourner stand bending

often. AS he raised his humid eyes 10
heaven. he cried
MY brother o. my brother"
A sage passed that way, and said;
"For whom dost thou morn ?''
Conc" replied he, "whom 1 did not
sufficiently love while living bnt whUse
ineStimable worth now feel"
"What would'st thou do, if he were
restored to thee
The mourner replied, THAT he would
never offend him by any unkind word,
but he would take every occasion 10
show his friendship. if he could but come
back to his fond embrace"
Then waste no time in useles grief"
said the sage, but if thou hast friends,
so and cherish the living. remembering
that they will die one day also"
