ward or accidental pressure 1t is impossible that
such an iniqutous distinction Of classes as exists
here can continue much longer to affront the great
hopc of man, the hope Of social equality. The war
with Russia has done more to weaken the prestige
of the aristOcracy than century Of ordinary mis-
rule would have effected, and no one can
foresee the nights to which the popular
demands may soon arise. The sabbatarian
movement has also arisen in the nick Of time
to show the people how ready an instrument the
aristocracy finds in the Church to do its niggard
WILL and to justify HOlyobe and the Secularists in
identify ing the ecclesiastical temper with all that is
intocrant and mean and odiOus in human manners.

mett DDS, and then utterly crushed in heart be-

imagination that night before his suicide, when he
wrote those frenzied letters, and wandered out Ill
alone under the silent heavens to die without feel
ing his heart ache with the tenderest pity My
house lies nearly in line between his late resi-
dencc and the bleak heath on which be perished,
and can't but fancy him going past my door steps
on that dismal errand in the pale moonlight while
/ lay sleeping blisslully in bed Past how many
happy homes did the poor fellow bear that miser-
able bosom burden of his that night Past how
many which would have gladly opened to him III
teDderest hospitality, aud beaten back the fierce
demons that were lbeling Gods deathless love TO
his uninstructed soul But so it was not to be,
and the poor forlorn creature doubtless found
better soace and stouter defense in the company
of Deaths soothing and enyeloping angels H. }.
