Translated from the Courier des Etats Unis Death Warrant of Christ.

Chance has just put into our hands the most imposing and interesting judicial document to all christians, that ever has been recorded in human annals; that is the idential death-war- rant of our Lord Jesus Christ We transcribe the document as it has been handed to us: Sentence rendered by Pontius Pilate, acting Co.,
 ve,nor cf Loooer Gulilee, stating that Jesus of
 Nazareh shall sufer death on the cross.
 In the year seventeen of the empire Tibe- rlus Caesar, and the 25th day of March, in the city of the holy of Jerusalem, Anna and Caio- phas being priests sacrifcators of the people of God, Pontius Pilate, Governor of Lower Cali lee, sitting on the presidential chair of the Prntorv, condemn Jesus of Nazareth to die on the cross between two thieves-the great and notorious evidence of the people saying:
 l. Jesus is a seducer.
 2 He is seditious.
 g. He is an enemy of the law.
 4 He calls himself falsely the Son of God.
 D. He calls himself falsely the King of Is- rael.
 G. He entered into the temple, followed by multitude bearing palm branches in their hands.
 Order the first centurian, Quillus Cornelius to lead him to the place of execution.
 Forbid to any person whatsoever, either poor or rich, to oppose the death of Jesus.
 The witnesses who signed the condemnation of Jesus are, viz: l. Daniel Robani, Phari- see; 2. Joannas Horobable; 3. Raphael Robani; 4. Capet, a citizen.
 Jesus shall go out of the city of Jerusalem by the gate of Struenus.

Is hardly question for reference. It does not relate to disputed facts, nor to the fair construc ton ot the engagements of the parties. It IS mere question as to the meaning of the word "occupy"-to bring the matter within its nar- rowest compass. 1 should as soon think of re- terrlng to arbitration the meaning of the words free, sovereign and independent States in the treaty of peace with Great Britain, which re- cognise our independence, as the words occupy and assume and exercise dominion in the Clay ten-Bulwer treaty. The fermermeasure would be just as reasonable and honorable as the latter. No arbitrator, whether understanding the Eng lsh language or not, can tell us better than we know what treaty means when it says that neither party shall occupy or possess any do- mnlon Ill Central America except in the single case provided for in the rider annexed to it. If any other occupation is retained the treaty IS violated, and we profess to know what oc- cupatlon means without resorting to leXi- coSraphlcal knowledge or good offices or friend or foe.
 If England can hold possession without oc- cupatlon she may make out her case. If she cannot, ours Is made out The reference of such question would be but subtcrfuge uu- worthy of our position and our cause. Under these circumstances, and in the state of our for eign relations, 1 shall vote for the propositions of the military committee to fortify the posi- tons enumerated in the bill they have report ed. l think we are called upon to do so by considerations which will be felt and approved of by the American people.

lMeannesS Don't Pay.

There Is no greater mistake that a business man makes than to be mean in his business always taking the half cent for the dollars he has made and is making Sucha policy is like the farmer who sows three pecks of seed when he ought to have sown five, and as a recom- pense for his meannesS of soul, only gets ten when he ought to have got fifteen bushels of gran Every body has heard the proverb of "penny wise and pound foolish" A liberal expenditure in the way of business is always sure to be capital investment.
 There are people in the world who are short sighted enough to believe that their interests can be best promoted by grasping and clnging to all they can get, and never let cent slip through their fingers As general thing it will be found, other things being equal, that he who is most liberal IS most successful in business.- Of course we do not mean it to be inferred that man should be prodigal in his expenditures, but that he should show to his customers, if he is trader or to those whom he may be doing any kind of business with, that in all his trans actions, as well as social relations, he acknowl- edges the everlasting fact that there can be no permanent prosperity or good feeling in a com munity where benefits are not reciprocal.- Hunts Merchants' Magazine

the following resolution as to the number of delegates to be chosen:-
 "Resotved, That, in constituting future na- tlonal conventions of the democratic party, Tn order to secure the rights of the States to their relative representation in such conventions each State shall be entitled to twice the num- Der of delegates that it has votes in the cleo toral college, and no more; and that the demo- cratic national committee, in making arrange ments the next national convention, provide such number of seats therein for each State, and secure the same to the delegates elect.'
 It Is requested, with view to the proper arrangements of seats of members that the delegates from the several States CT districts of the United States to the next national conven- ton forward to Hon. A. P. Edgerton, Hicks vile, Ohio, chairman of the committee of ar engagements, their respective names and post atflces; and the democratic papers throughout the United States are requested to copy this cali, and the proceedings of the democratic na tlonal commmittee.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC VICToRy IN

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN ERIE CoUNTY.-For the second time within the last quarter of century the democrats have clear majority in the board of supervisors. It should be borne in mind that this election took place immediately after the announcement of the nomination of Mr. Fillmore for the presidency. and that this county is the scene of his early political triumphs, and contains many of his warmest personal and political friends The result, however, proves that the democratic party, when united and in earnest, is a match for either of its opponents. In none of the towns has more than one democratic ticket been nominated, and in all the democratic nominees have been cordially supported by the whole strength of the party. The complexion of the board of supervisors will be-democrats P, Know Nothngs 9, republicans l, fusion l, with fcur towns not yet heard from.-BuGalo Cour-

 You'd never guess how we'll. You are my comfort and my light; My very life you seem; l think of you all day; all night 'Tis but of you l dream. There's pleasure in the lightest word That you can speak to me; My soul is like the Eolian chord And vibrates still to thee. l never read the love-song vet,

 The passing changes there: l love to hear your voices tone, Although you should not say 4 single word, to dream uron
 When that had died away. Q! you are kindly as the beam
 That warns where'cr it plays; And you are gentle as dream
 Of happy future days; And you are strong to do the right, And swift the wrong to flee; And, if you were half so bright,

! Love the Night.
BY GEORGE P. MORRIS.

love the night when the moon streams brigh
 On flowers that drink the dew When cascades shout as the stars peep out,
 From boundless fields of blue; But dearer far than moon or star,
 Or flowers of guady hue, Or merry trHs of mountain-rills,
 l love, l love, love-you l love to stray at the close of day,
 Through groves of linden-t trees, When music floats, in warbled notes,
 And incense loads the breeze. love the night--the glorious night
 When hearts beat warm and true, But far above the night, love,
 I love, I love, love-you!

THOUGHTS ON CHILDHOOD HOME.

BY JAMES R. BUCHANAN o Jacksonport, AikanSas. l remember the long bright days, In ehild-hoods sparkling sun; Through natures blooming w;lds to ooze thoughtless often run. The aurels green along the rill.
 The Ivy in full bloom: The Hawthorns clustering on the hill. That gave q rich perfume. The honey suckles dropping ore
 The streamlets' sparkling foam! AS ore the rocks they swift did pour, Started to their mother home. Their messy banks put forth their vines, Which covered all around. As q bower above they were entwined. While their fruits hung glittering down, The morning rose as season long, When l started ont to stray; In those balmy shades I wandered on, Tospend the happy day. On natures fruits feasted well,
 While the birds sang sweet to me; As returned through. the hazel dell, In boy hoods proud felicity. And l remember those luxuriant trees, That yielded their fruits in June: Where often met with birds and bees, To spend happy noon. Yes l remember the garden green,
 Where my little siters played; The long bright days in a fowery scene, In summers lovely bloom arrayed. The meadow, too, lay just below, Ali bespeckled with flowers fine; Embelished with lilies of every hue, Embossed around with eglantine. l remember my twilight walks,
 Where often in the blooming spring, s.ayei alone and sat on rocks,
 To hear the birds in concert sing. But from all these scenes l come away, Nor can ere enjoy them ore again; Yet, in Nenamy's book they will ever stay, Ii but alone to give me pdiai
