Burning of the Niagara"
A Touching Incident.

One of the many affecting scenes attending
the frlghttul disaster of the passengers of the
i'll fated Niagara, was that of the loss of the
entire family of Mr.. Alnsworth, of Vermont
With the care and painful anxiety of the
father and husband, he had gathered his wife,
his aged father Of 70 years, aud three children
about him, and with all the precautlon that the
terrible confusion would permit, lowered them
from the deck, and away from the advancing
flames, to the more welcome, but no less fatal
waters. The palsy of age, the terror of woman
and the fright of children, did not unman this
hardy son of the Green Mountains, but with
alacrlty he swan from one to the other; now
helping his wife to retain her Aold upon the
treachGrOus haWser now assisting his daugh-
ter in her struggles to catch at some buoyng
object. With what intense anxiety he redou-
bled his eXertons. when he saw his youngest
child, three years old, sink to bis cold grave.
Then came the death struggle of his aged pa
rent, and he saw, amid his divided exerlions,
the gray hairs Of his father disappear forever !!
His eXertlonS were now between wife and
two children, but the relentless waves had
drawn them apart by its merciless lashings and
his task grew heavier as his dangers doubled
upon him. lie had 10 time to look for distant
boats, but only sufficient to grasp some chair.
some seething brand and broken panel and shove
it as best he might with exhausted arm, to his
wife and children. But he had not been tried
enough, and the waves came and rolled angry
surges over the chilly wife and daughter, bury
ing Them from his agonized sight. All are now
gone save his little boy of eight years, who
was struggling with the sea to maintain foot
hold upon a floating sofa. AS the heroic little
fellow would mount upon its secure seat, the
sea would strike it and roll it from under his
feet. Time after time did the brave boy clam
bpr up, and as often would the heavy sea bres L
over him. The father had secured boat that
was bottom up, but seeing his boy in such fear
tul peril, at once sought him, to render assist
ance with what little of energy yet remained
in his lmbs and in his heart. With desperate
energy he struggled for his brave little son
the last OF his family, but before reaching him
he disappeared and followed his grandfather
his mother, his sister and little brother to Their
cold grave at the depths OF Michigan. Life
was now scarcely worth preserving, and onl.
one hope now helped him to save himself, II wa
thai he might yet recover the cold cOrpses o
his drowned family, aud lay them with his owl
hands into the ground. He succeeded, and Wa

The Season

OF the falling leaf is fully upon u.s. Every
where the trees are shaking down their glories
upon the paths. and /" all the air is golden" with
Autumn's messengers. There is lesson in
this season which ought not to be overlooked.
The leaves, falling and rustling under our feet
as we walk the streets, are but pages from the
Book of Nature, full of beautiful testimonies,
and rich in valuable suggestions. They tell us
that as, when Autumn comes, the bloom Of the
garden and forest is destroyed, and decay en-
cotfins within its embrace all natures pleasant
things, so when the years of Life come to the
shaded paths of the Fall, the heart becomes dull
and impotent, its sweet fountains drying up and
all the blossoms which have clustered aroundi il
whitening out of sight:--that in those latter
days, lies as il were in iallow, producing few i
any fruits-awaiting the scattering OF Death
whereiroIn harvest shall spring up for the up
Der gamers; that after Autumn, comes thu
Winter, wherein the voices of life are hushe'
forever. In these times, when passing away

Lord Campbell on the Law of Prohibi
tiOn.

"ln the House of Lords last night, Lord
Campbell called the attention of the house to
facilities which existed for the sale of pOisons
aud hoped the government would Introduce
some measure on the subject next session. The
Lord Chancellor replied that the subject was
under the consideration of the government"
Such is the account given in the parimen-
tary abstract of the Times, Friday, July lIth,
OF part OF the proceedings of the House of Lords
on he previous evening.
In more extended report of the same occur
renee we find that Lord Campbell declared the
subject to be one of great importance, and found
ed Il recommendation OF stringent suppression
upon the increase of the crime of posoming.-
He declared that the suppression of the tacll-
ties for the suie of arsenic had been highly be-
ncfclal, but that prisoners had resorted to other
drugs to avoid that la W, and it became expedi.
eAtto meet this new evil by some new provis
! ion. We DO not doubt that such "A law will
meet with general acquiescence There will
be little excitement about it, perhaps not even
! a protect from the most ardent admirers OF
laisseZ fare" And yei the prlncl pies OF con-
stitutional liberty viii be more Inlrlnged by
such law, thnn by the most stringent enact
ment contemplated by the Alliance. Here will

where they please, be denied to the vast multi,

liberty not the renotest indication has been

be used in favor Of such legislation which does
not apply with tentold force to the prohibition

Our Country.

TO the student of history, no idea is mora
iainlllar than that of covering real sentiments
uhuer speclous pretence. This dissimuatio
obtained among the Republics of Greece and
was too familiar in the palmest days of the
Roman Republic. The historians of the time
tell Us, with frank bluntness, that it was quite
usual to have one thing concealed in the depths
81 the secret thought, and another ready on the
tongue and they characterize one who PLAYED
chlel part IN the events OF his time, as being a
ielgner and dissembler The same thing has
Oeeh prevalent IN all the intTigues Of designing
politicians and popular demagogues from that
to the present day. The principles of diplo-
macy, the artful cunning Of statesmen, the
crooked policy Of factious leaders, and the de-
ceptIve professions of people misleading repre-
sentatlves, have had this outside varnish, by
which their selfish ends were accomplished.-
Inc strife OF parties is ever great One promi-
ses much, another more, and, ten to one, when
Tie object is gained, the hedge and promise
are Iorgotten and sure evidence afforded that
there was mental reservation and selfish
aim. Politicians are ever too violent None

and deatening. None but they can save the
country from impending ruin, and there is no
salvation for 1t but in entrnsting to their nom-
nee the helm of state. Fortunately for the

present is but the echo of that which has revet-
berated throughout the land since the United

his Country ceased to direct lis affairs Truly,
there never was time when every citizen was
required to exercise mere care IN casting his
vote than at the coming Presidential election.

and honest intention, and the right place, while

SOUTH CAROLINA AND MAssACHUsETTs-Tt
Is great pity that the Keltts and Brookses of
S. c., and the Burlnganes and Wilson's, of
Mass, were not III States side by sCe-where
these politicians could fight it out, to their
hearts content-without embroilno other
States of the Union.
South Carolina pets and feasts Brooks-and
Massachusetts selects blackguards like Burlin-
game and Wilson-and the pettings and feast
lngs of one are copied into the Northern Abo-
htlon papers to eXasparate the North, while
the blackg uardlsm of the other is copied in the
Southern papers to exasperate the South.
The moderate, conservative men in both ends
Of the Union condemn all such Stuf-all such
exasperation. The masses, even when fright
ened of, or duped off, into the support of these
bullies and blackguards have no real animosity
the North to the South, or the South to the
North. We trade and intertrade, marry and
intermarry, and the South raises cotton, rice,
and tobacco, and sugar, and the North freights
it,, takes commission on it, makes or sends
goods IN return for it, and lives and profits on
it. There is danger, however, great danger,
that these bullies and blackguards will get the
dormant conservative men, who traffic and trade

guards never traffic nor trade, or eat or sleep

4 Story with a Moral.

The New York EOening Register tells
good story and applies moral. 1t says a rail
road once had an agent, who employed num-
Der OF men as conductors The agent had
noticed one conductor who was very poorly
and very shabblly dressed. His name was
Jcm." One day in the month of December
the agent said to Jem Look here, my man,
unless you procure warmer and better cloth.
ing Will discharge you, for some day you will
be found frozen to DEATH" The warning was
uuheeded, and shortly after Jem was paid off
and dismissed. The agent rather liked Jem,
anb upon receiving a promise that he would,
if re- employed, leave in the agents hands, every
week, small sum TO be applied to the purchase
of clothes, Jem was restored to office.
Saturday night came, but Jem would not
stick to his agreement, and demanded all his
money The agent was surprised, and asked
| for an explanation.
IL can't do it, Boss. have been married
thirteen years, and unless take hsme all my
money my wife will leave me. She threatens

The next week the agent persuaded Jem to
use his money to buy clothes. lie pledged
his word that Jem should be held bameess.-
Saturday night came, Jem was dressed in his
new clothes. The hour arrived for the paying
off-the wife came also, and when told thai
Jem was paid of, she started after him.
"Where is your weeks earnings" she de-
manded.

had been stimulating little to keep up hl'

INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF PoEr.-When

what is esteemed to be his masterpiece, Tina

magnificent river Columbia, or, as it was then
called, :" Oregon he htrle dreamed that it
would ever be read in public assembly, on the
very spot (Astora) where first the axe of tho
woodman broke the stiffness of the wids and

we see by the Oregonian papers that Mr.. Ste.
