candidate, for ,the Presidency Parke
Goodwin, or John Bigelow, of the Evening
Post, has done him the same good turn, and
we believe there is one by the Hoacadji,
Mr.. George VIM. Curtis, besides smaller
and less pretentious brochures, the object
of which is to take the life of 'the Path
iinder," who, it would nov appear, has as
many lives as cat. t--
But the most terse, succinct and COM
prehensive of them oil is one which we
find in the New York Erpress. 1t is a
very model of concise biography: g; So
John c. Fremont is rash, mntinous,
unsafe aud inexperienced young man.
Mutinous, betalse his life has been life
of mutiny and resistance to established
authority. He could not get through
college without expulsion, : He could not
get married without on elopement. He
could not serve in the Senate seventeen
days without fight with brother Sena-
tor for words spoken in debate. He
could not be an officer in the army with
out being court -martialed andfound guilty
of mutiny and disobedience of orders.

Warren's Minstrel.

This is the title of a very neatly execu-
ted work on sacred music by j. S. War
rem, olive, Noble county, Ohio; published
by J. II. Riley 4 Co., Columbus Ohio.
I have examined the work with some
care, and can therefore recommend it to
singing societies, church choirs and fami-
lics as possessing the first qualities in poe
try and musical compositions He has
eviuced in this selection, an unusual care
in introducing only such matter as would

THE FACTORY CHILD.

Twas on q winters morning,
& The weather wet and wild,
i Three hours before the dawning,
The father reused his child.
s.i Her daily morsel bringing,
IS The darksome room he paced,
And cried '.The bell is ringing,
My helpless darling haste"
"Father, I'm, up---but weary,
..s,isseI scarce can reach the door;
ia And long the way, and dreary,
Oh! carry me once more.
To help US we've no mother,
7m4 And you have no employ;
..e! They kill'd my little brother,

az Her wasted form seemed nothing,
The load was at his heart,
II, The sufferer he kept soothing,
Till at the mill they part.
The overlooker met her,
lt AS to her frame she crept,
And with his throng he beat her,
Aud cursed her while she wept.
Alas! what hours of horrors
Made up her latest days,
tn toll and pain and sorrow,
They slowly passed. away.
1t seemed as she grew weaker,
The threads the oftener broke,
The rapid wheels ran faster,
And heavier fell the stroke.
The sun had long descended,
But night brought no repose,
Her day began and ended
As cruel tyrants chose,
At length little neighbor,
Her halfpenny she paid,
To take her last hours labor,
While by her frame she laid.
81 At last the engine ceasinc,
Tue captives homeward rushed,
She thought her strength increasing,
Twas hope her spirits flushed.
She left---but oft she tarried,
She fell aud rose no more,
Till by her comrades carried,
$50 She reached her fathers door.

All night with tortured feelings,
He watched his speerh!ess child,
While close beside her inceling,
.sa She knew him not, nor smiled.
Again the factory's ringing,
Her last perception tried,
When from her straw bed springing,
"'Fis time" she shreked and die
That night chariot past her.
While OIL the ground she lay,
The daughters of her master,
An evening visit pay,
Their tender h;arts were signing,
As negro wrongs were told,
While theswhite slave was dying,
Who g4lned their fathers gold.
