tie said; the cersmony was short and amid the sobs
and sighs Of few faithful friends, the uusavory SAN
was consigned to an untimely tomb. The last sad
OF his adventurous aud evsntful lie 10 1t
10 truly 70 be hoped for the sake of his future peace
wei! a. the quiet of those o;her departed spirits
with whom ne must commune, tina: SAN will seek an
abode 10 the eternal world where the poor old Pope
i, never expected, and the "swest German accent
and rich Irish b7ogue," are never mingled IN the
hyCans of the saints:
No ~seless coffin enclosed his breast,
Nor In sheet, nor in shroud they bound him;
But he lay, like Know Nothing. taking his rest
With nothing at oil around MIN.
They buried him darkiy at dead Of nigh.
The sod with their boot.hees turning,
By the trembling moonbeams misty light
And the lantern dinnly burning.

The Germans Of ST. Louis.

Francis P. Blair, ir, of st. Louis, is for
tunate in his constituency, the Free Soil
party of that city; more intelligent and
patriotic body of constituents no member
of Congress possesses. The Germans, es-
pecial,y, deserve more honorable tribute
Kari Dauzer, Alexander Keyser and Dr.
Hammer, and thousands like them, arc
earning the gratitude posterity. Owing
to the ruffianism of National Democracy,
electors could not be found out of st. Louis
to stand for Fremont. Mr.. Keyser volun
teered as elector for his own district, and
received votes in many counties.
The Germans of the city however, went
to the polls and voted en- masse, 5000 il
number; for Fillmore against Buchanan
for the Pro-Slavery Know Nothing agains
the Black Democra. They had no re
spect for Fillmore or his principles; they
despised the Buffalo doughface as much a:
he deserved to be despised. The mai
who could take the Know Nothing oaths,
declare himselfa servant of the South a.
gainst the Missouri Compromise, and ar
ally Of Buchanan against Free Territory
had nothing in common with these honest
voters.
And yet with the distant hope Of ad
valcing the cause of Freedom, defeating
Buchanan and electing Fremont.they went
in solid column and voted for the mar
Of dough against the wooden platform.
The French did the same in St.Louis; and
the foreigners Of Louisiana, Texas and 9th
er slave states showed the like intelligen nj
strategy. Napoleon often boosted that
his private soldiers could and frequently
did give him excellent suggestions in the
middle Of battle. Not soldier of the Ole
Guard but understood while he executed
the most complicated maneuvers of hi:
chief. The foreign born Free Sellers O
many slave states, where Fremont was no
allowed to receive single vote, have re
corded a sublime protest against the sham
national party, by voting for Fillmore
They knew what they were about, and
they were not to be led by the nose, no
hoodwinked by Democratic demagogues
With their tickets headed 'Protest! they
threw the city by over thousand MAORI
ty against the niggerdriving Democracy
The Missouri Republican has not YET
recovered from its astonishment at the
cool boldness Of this coup de main. The
Germans of Missouri and Illinois will re
ceive those blessings of God which Abra-
ham Lincoln in the height Of his eloquenc
invoked upon their heads Belleville an
Advocate.

.Ionu in PatuTOs.

Never was an exile so cheered in his
banisllment. Domitian sent John to work
in the mines Of the earth; but God called
him to explore the deeper and richer mines
Of furity and heaven. He does not see m
to have had any human society in Patmos
but he was not alone The ocean rock of
the Cyclades, ike Carmel in the days of
old. was covered with horses and chariots
of fire. The imperial edict, though unin-
tenticnally, sent him "to an innumerable
company Of angels; to the general sssem-
bly Of the church in heaven; and to Jesus,
the mediator Of the new covenant" to hear
and see how 'sthe blood Of sprinkling" was
honored at the eternal throne by God, and
by all the godike universe Of being: for,
afrom the tops of the rocks" Of Patmos, he
beheld this beautiful vision Of Immortality,
as well as the propheticvisions of futurity.
Thus his lone island in the Kgean Sea
was to him "a gate of heaven, wider than
Bethel to Jacob, or Horeb to the elders Of
Israel, or Tabor to Peter, or the Sanhed-
rim to Stephen. Who would not submit
to exile, even on a solitary island, for the
sake of such revelations? John could WI !,
afford to let al the curtain, thus ds.wn OH
from the invisible world, d,.sP It's folds up
on the scenes and society OF this werld.-

Death of a Celebrated Horse.

Black Hawk, a famous stallion owned by
David Hill, of Bridgeport, Vt, died lately.
aged % years. Black Hawk was foaled in
1888, and was then the property of Mr.
Wingate Twombly, of Greenland, former
ly Of Durham, IN. H. His sire was the
Sherman Morgan horse, his grandsire the
Justin Morgan, famed as the progenitor of
the Morgan horses. His dam was half
blood English mare. When four years old
he was purchased by Benjamin Thurston
of Lowell, and used as family horse until
1s44;when Mr.. Hill purchased him, and in
the hands of this gentleman he soon be-
CAME famous. Black Hawk was little
less than fifteen hands high, and weighed
about 1000 pounds. His color was black
like that of his dam: and his colts have been
black, bay or chestnut, with hardly an ex-
ception. He possesses the character of the
Morgan family Of horses in an eminent de-
gree. He was symmetrical, muscular and
compact in his form, and his elastic style of
action, speed and endurance, which quail
ties he impaired in remarkable degree
to his progeny rendering him one of the
most valuable stock horses ever owned in
this country. Black Hawk could trot his
single mile in2 40, and exhibited consid-
cradle bottom in longer races. In 1912
he won match 81, 900 by troting on the
Cambridge track five miles inside of six
teen minutes October 3, 1S43, he won
race of two mile heats beating two COM
petitors easily in 5:43-5 :48-5 Al
Black Hawk was the sire of several of the
fastest trotting horses on the turf, among
which are Ethan Allen, the fastest trotting
stallion in the world; of Lancet, who has
beaten the best time of Lady Suffolk; of
Black Ralph, Belle of Saratoga, Black
Hawk Maid, &c. He was not only for
tune for his owner, but the value of his
stock has added much to the wealth of
the State where he was kept. Mr.. Hill
has received for his services over $4,000;
his last season Melted 1000, and he was
already looked in advance for 5000. His
owner obtained insurance on his life until
he arrived at an age when the premium
charged was necessarily very high, and he
died uninsured.
