NO GOD.
By MRS. LYDIA H. sIGOURNEY


The following verses. suggested by the word
10 the l4th Fslam of David, sThe foo! hath sal
in his heart There is no God, is one of the fines
things in the English language
"No God! No God!'' The simplest flower
That on the wild is found.
Shrlnks as it drinks its cup of dew,
And trembles at the sound;
ssNo God !'' astonished Echo cries
From out her cavern hoar,
And every wandering bird that flies
Reproves the Atheist lore.
The solemn forest lifts its head
The Almighty to proclaim,
The brooklet, on its crystal urn,
Doth leap to give its name,
How sweIls the deep and vengeful sea
Along ITS bIlowy track,
The red Vesuvius opes his mouth
To hurl the falsehood back.
The palm tree, with princely crest,
The cocoa's leafy shade,
The bread fruit bending to its load
In yon far island glade
The winged seeds. that, borne by the winds,
The rowing sparrows feed,
The melon on the desert sands,
Confute the scorner's creed.
s.No God J" With Indignation high
The fervent Sun is stirred,
And the pale Moon turns paIer still,,
AT such an impious word:
And from their burning throwns. the Stars
That thus worm of dust should mock
Eternal majesty.

was almost. But, though, had a natural
antipathy to spelling book. and no fond

around me was my real education, as it is

you may.
When I was ten years old, l had one sis

as usual with girls, at this age, they had a
set of old cronies, some very like, and some
very unlike them in character. One after
noon, as [ was tending my doll Ophelia,
who was sick in bed, heard brisk dis
cussion among these girls, which may al
most say decided my fate for life.
The first words that caught my attention
came from an animated, romantic girl oi
sixteen, scolding because the heroine of a
novel she had just read, was left unmarried
at the end Of the story. What surprise was

the last tribute Of respect to their deceased
neighbor, and the minister was in waiting to
offer the consolations Of the gospel to the
afflicted family. The coffin was then brought
and the body was being placed therein when
one OF the assistants observed that i felt
little warm, and, strange as it may seem, in
a few moments Mr.. Sterns was sitting. up;

Thus it will be seen, instead OF paying
twenty million six hundred and eleven thou
sand eight hundred and eleven dollars, we
must pay THIRTY NINE million two hundred
aud twen;y.three thousand four hundred
tweuiy-six dollars; making difference in
this enormoussum Of nearly ONE HALF.
Read the law. 1t does not say that that
portion Of the debt which was only drawing
5 per cent. heretofore, shall draw no more
than 5 hereafter, but authorizes the renew
al Of the whoe at 6 per cent. The law
does not say in 90 many words that it shall
not be paid for more than 80 years, but it
saws between 1875 and 1856. Does a"y one
doubt thut it will b. postponed to the utmost
limit of the law! We defy any one 10 pro-
duce an argument in favor OF deferrng TWEEN
ty wears which will not bear equally as for
chilly in favor of thirty years. 1.-THE Flu
sionists believe that public debt is bless
ing, they will not pay it in twenty il they
can avoid it thirty years. ..-...
But who sked for such law! Who had
become alarmed, fearing the State would
get out Of debt! Who was demanding to
paw gratuitously eighteen millions of dol
lars rather than have this mili.st of a
debt about our necks Reader, you know,
and every one else knows, that no part o
the taxes is paid more cheerfuly than tha
which goes to pay the public debt. 1t ha,
to be paid, and the people would willingly
ruy it off as soon possible and and be doue
with it. But here we have the amount nea r.
" doubled and to hang over our heads fol
thirty years. This debt operates % lien,
Us a mortgage upon every farm in the State
for the next generation. Mr. Farmer, you
hold your farm subject to lieu, in common
will, the rest of the State, of thirty nine
millions Of dollars.
The Fusionists may talk about the money
being worth more in the hands OF the peo-
ple, but there Is one argument which proves
irresistibly and conclusvrly that postponine
he Debt is bad policy, tina: argument il
drawn from every honest mans experience IN
his individual dealings. Does hc suffer his
debts to run on at interest for years after
they become due, when he is amply able &c
pay them! Certainly not. and why! Sim
ply because the experience Of mankind
since debts began, proves it to be bad poll
cy. But there is another fact showing that
the State is loser. In one hour after the deb
Of fourteen millions is renewed, fifteen mil
lions would not redeem it; for the reason
that there is guaranty that it shall not b'
paid till due, and the interest which it vii
draw will make it that much more valuable
This shows as plain as the noon day sui
thnt the State is the loser.
But now, what was oil this done for?--
This question we asked and answered once
before; il is to foster and iced their pets am
favorites, the banks; upon the principle
stake care Of the rich and the rich will TAX
care Of the OF the poor"
Yet the people are asked to lift up thei
heads in holy horror at the affairs OF othe
States, while our own are suffered to 60 t
destruction as though we had no interest j
them.

when settlers from the North and South,
meet on the soil Of Kansas, they meet not
as friends, as fellow citizens Of the same
Government, but as enemies between whom
exists an uncompromising hatred. This be-
ing the case, we must expect bloodshed, and
crime. Peace and harmony will never be

The NewYOr TfBEns contains Greeley e
estimate Of party strength ir the coming
contest He gives up all hope Of electing
any of the old and tried Leaders Of Black
Republieanism. The searred veterans who
have received wounds aud bruises in the
contest, must be cast aside, and some nesO
! man who has never made his mark, who has
never done any thing or dared to do anything,
is to be taken up as the candidate for Pre-
sident. All the old issues, eli the Princi.
Piles which one year ago were emblazoned
upon the Republicsn banner are to be aban-
doned and every thing to yield the idea
! of availability.
But this is not all. After ell the tried
leaders are discarded, after all its principles
are abandond then, the Tribune makes::uP
it's estimate as follows upon the most aUGila-
bic candidate:
1--WE must choose men who will attract to
our ranks voters who are not already with
us, and not repel any who are. We have to
consider that, of the 396 Electoral Votes
full third will go against US any how, aud
that OF all that remains we must carry three
fourths or be beaten. Let US take look at
The fisureE

vote s New Hampshire 5, Massachusetts l3

Dubious: New Jersey, electoral vote z
Pennsylvania 81. Delaware 3, Missouri 8
Indiana IL, Illinois IL, California 4. Tota

This seems to US as favorable IN estimate
as existing facts will warrant-far more sc
than an oppnent could be expected to con
cede. We believe there is this day an anti
Douglas majority in each Of the States We
have placed 10 the Nebraska column
provided it can be concentrated and cailet
out; but il piA not bear division. We shol
then need 35 electoral votes from the doubt
ful list--thai is to say, we need the vote o
Peunsylyana and Indiana (40), or Pennsyl
vania and Ilinois (3S), or those Of New Jer
sey, Indians, Illinois and Calilornis (35), o
those of Delaware, Indiana, Illinois ant
Missouri (36), to elect. Hive cannot carr!
without hardly an exception, the States sc

Rcedcr against the Government.

Reedcr against the Government.
Ex.Gove ernor Reeder has at last thrown
ffthe cloak Of allegiance ard openly defed
the United States Government. A subpe
ns was lately issued by the U. s. District
Court directing him to appear before the
Grand Jury and give testimony. When the
Deputy Marshall attempted to serve the writ
upon him, Reeder informed him that he
would not obey the summons and that "it
the Marshall laid hands upon him, he would
do it at the peril Of his life." Sherman and
Howard, the fusion members Of the Con-
gressional investigating Committee sustain
ed him in his refusal. Thus ia the authority
of the fedc raj court defcd and reviled.
There is but one course for the Govern
ment to pursue, and that is to to compel
Reeder and his associates in treason to cub
NIT. Mild means won't answer in desper
ate cuses. Now is the time to be firm aud
rigid in the exercise Of governmental au-
thori,y. The sooner these men know that
they must pay allegiance to Law, the better
for the country.

Recognition Oh Nicaragua.

The President has received the Embsssa-
dor of the WALKER government in Nicsrs-
qua. Here Is new element in politics, Q
new theme for discussion. What It's bearing
will be upon our already complicated foreign
affairs. it is impossible to determine. Some
pre dict war aud confusion and disaster gen
erally; while others lock upon it as move
ment in the right direction. So far as We
can at present learn Of the true state Of az
fairs in Central America, the President ha.
done right Our commercial interests there
require that there should be some perma
nent and recognized government. Al
WALKERS government is now the strong
est in that country. and bids fair to be ad
ministered upon principles ofjustice,it seem'
but necessary and proper step to acknow /
edge its existence and claims.
1t is argued that it will lead indirectly
to war with England. A war with Eng
land would certainly be public calamity t
both countries; but the recognition Of Mica
ragua will, in our judgment, neither MAKE
war, nor preserve peace. If Great Britai'
is determined to disregard her solemn treat.

if we insist as we ought, upon the perfor
