Our Little Frank is Dead.

A black scarf trimmed with ribbons,
hung upon the door-knob. A death-like
stiffness pervaded the entire mansion; all
within moved with softest tread, and spoke
in lowest whispers, as if fearful Of disturb
ing the rep0se of some loved one. And
not only those who had been familiar with
lhs.sparklng eyes, but the stranger, who
received the intelligence solely from the
scarf on the door, felt that home had
been robbed ola precious idol. Ho W deep
was the love that clustered around the in
nocent child; and oh how terrible is the
blow his death inAicts ,He no longer
clings in innocent love to his mothers bo-
som, or stirs with fondest JOY his fathers
heart. His prattling has ceased forever,
and hi once laughing eyes are closed
But even in death he seems to have lost
none of his sweetness. He laid so calm
" in his silken-cushion coffin, prepared
with so much care ) flowers were scatter
over his lonely form. And as he laid
there the child seemed only to be sleeping.
Blu. alas it is that " sleep which hath no
waking."-Our little Frank is dead!-
Around him were gathered many whose
sympathies he had aroused, and whose love
he had excited. The Minister as he bent
over the cold form, with pathos exclaimed
q" Thus saith the Lord, 'Sulfer little chill
dren to come unto me, and forbid then
not, for of such is the Kingdom of llea
ven. -" But now be is shut forever from
the sight of those who loved him as no 9th
ers could. Oh how the mother clung t.
the lifeless form, as she imprinted the las
fervent kiss upon his cold cheek. Ant
the father though he has hitherto manfull.
braved cares, dsappointments and bereav
r ments, felt unnamed as he bent over tn
corpse of his little Frank.
He now lies in the cold grave, and crush
ed hopes lie buried with him. Thoug
his mortal existence was brief, his deaf
has desolated a joyous home. Dear littl
Frank! Orators may announce a nation
E loss in the death Of patriots great and true
and poets sing in touching strains the me
mory of the dead, who have accomplishe
mighty things--none but angels Of HEAVIER
ly birth will record the life of one SO pur
and beautiful--so early lost.

what Shall we Write About

Was the mental and audable inquiry
we made just now on entering our
sanctum. But there was neither an in-
ternalsuggeslion nor an external response.
So we sal down TO look oVer-Our exohan-
ges and other documents on our table,
and mediate the troubles and trials of ed
ilorial life. But we found lying side BY
side two pamphlets which tended TO recon,
ciIe us to our situation the one is the re-
port Of the Directors of the State Lunatic
Hospital, and the other the report of the
Inspectors of The Western PenitenIiary,
For with full conviction of the labors and
vexalions that wait upon the editorial fra
ternity, we. are bold enough to confess
that We would much prefer the daily
drudgery of the brotherhood, than be oc-
cupants of the beautiful Hospital near
Harrisburg, or of the stone castle of Ma
jor Beckman.
And yet the reports before us exhibi
those institutions in such an admirable
light, that it almost makes one envy the
inmates on account Of the comfort and
care with which they are provided for
and for no other reason, would we IN
innate. I'VE learn from the report that,
on December 81, 1856, there were one
hundred and thirty males, and one hun
dred and three lemales-twO hundred
and thirty, ,lhree in all-patients In the
hospital. Just think of il! So many i'll
sane persons in single institution in our
good, sedate old Commonwealth. There
are those still living who remember when
it was a rare thing to hear Of such afiic-
tive dispeusations of Providence But
madness seems 10 be alarmingly ON the
increase and this notwithstanding ouI
boast of the rapid spread of intelligence
The superintendent is candid enough to
say that the cause of insanity in more
than half the patients is unknown. Here
then is a subject worthy of the inVesti
ga;ion of the learned and philanIhrOpit
to disc over the cause and provide rem
edy. Ii is stated that domestic trouble
has caused Ihe insanity in ninety five oil
the patients. This is not very encour
aging announcement for the youths JUS
dreaming of connubial bliss. But it is
gratifying reflection TO Pennsylvania t(
know that their State has nobly sustained
this humane institution, Which kindly
watches over these citizens, administer
ing relief in all cases, and in many aflec
ting restoration 10 reason. The Stat
Lunatic Hospital is well conducted, hav
ing learned and efficient Directors ant
officers.

LIN 10 w.
| heard thee sing ofthe lilly,
That blOomsd and faded away,
] heard thee sing ofthe rose
That budded in beauty day;
But the secret thoughts of my heart were
unknown
To thee as thou carrolled in musical tone
When the blessed walked the Earth
He gathered the lilly fair,
Andsweet were the words of wisdom
That fell on humanity's ear;
But since he rose from the early Tomb,
There are lilies he gathered in Heaven tc
lloom.
The young are fairest lilies
And Jesus invites them to come
He would clothe their souls with
his love,
For now he waiteth for them.
He waits to see these lilies bloom,
To scent with Heavens sweet perfume.
Oft when / see my friend
Twill think Of the lilly song
The lilly the spotlesS and pure,
To species so fair belongs,
Oh why not lift thy heart on highs
For the lilies are gathered e'er they de-
| love to look on the young
As they gather the early flowers
For tho they bloom but day,
They will twine them in friendship'i
bowers.
OH twine the wreaths of thine early love
To cast at the feet Of Jesus above.

in the following encouraging words as to
the vitality of the American party and
the spring Campaign:
The enemies of the American party
have again and again announced that Sam
was dead, but they spoke in ignorance.
The principles Of the American party are
indestructable and immulabIe, and we
live on in despite Of all The machinatious
of its adversaries. Already we see The
glorious reaction that is going on in the
country In every direction since the

Americans are coming out of the contest
into which they have entered, with vic
tory inscribed on their banners, and it re
quireS not the pen of prophe! 10 descern
that before another Presidential conteS
shall have commenced, the American
will be the dominant party IN the Union

NEVER SATISFIED. -Sume people are
grumblers by nature. They are always
Disconnected alike, in sunshine and IN
storm. If alfliction comes upon them,
they imagine themselves greater sufferers
Than Job. If floating in the current of
prosperity, they sill grumble because
others make headway faster than they,
and with less toll and trouble. The fol-
lowing anecdote is directly in point as IL
Illustrative of tie tendencies of this un-
happy class.
When has man got enough? ? Never
till he gets little more. A very good
story OF old embargo times and the war
of 1872. was told us the other day.
Under the impulse Of the removal OF en-
barge, there was a sudden rise in The
value of properly, and such demand for
it, the merchandise was sometimes car
ried off from vessels, before The owners
arrived at their place of business, and the
parties taking it came in afterwards to
say that they were at the owners mercy,
and must pay what they chose to ask
4 brig was lying at Boston harbor, which
had come up from Plymouth just before
the embargo was laid fit for sea, The
Plymouth owner thought it was good
lime to sell the brig, and sent up his son
for The purpose, telling him TO demand
eight thousand dollars Tor her, and not
lake less than six.-John went TO Boston
found how things stood, sold the brig in
a moment, and hurried home, elated with
his baIgain. AS he neared The house, he
saw the old man marching up and down
the piazza, and suddenly he rushed ou
TO meet his son and hear the result Of tht
sale.
"Have yon sold The brig, John p
"Yes, father"
I" For how much, John =
"For ten thousand dollars" D."
"Ten thousand dollars ~ cried tn
old man, with staring eyes, at hearing
price more than double what the vesse
cost. "Ten thousand dollars I'll be
you've sold her 10 some swindler; VIII
don't care what the price is, and neve
means to pay his notes"
Notes, did you say, father Why
there were no notes in the case. g.
the money and put il in the bank Draw
and you will get it,
The old gentleman'S excitement wa
suddenly cooled, and as the ruling pa!
sien rose in its place, he said;

A DOVE ALIGHTING ON A CoFPIN.-ln
Edinburgh, few days ago, a respectable
family in one Of the quietest quarters of
the city was thrown into mourning by the
death of one of their number, an elderly Ia
dy A night or two after the event a
strange noise was heard at the window OF
the room where the coffin was lying. 1t
seemed like tho futtering of the wings Of
bird against the window panes, and when
the maid servant appeared at the window
for the purpose of raising it to examine in
to the cause of the noise, a beautiful white
dove flew into the apartment and alightet
on the lid of the coffin. 1t offered no oppo
stion when they attempted to secure it
and is now in possession ofthe relatives o
the deceased lady, who from the siDgularity
of the circumstances, have resolved to pre-
serve it carefully.-Edinburgh Express.

THE Iowa CApITAL.-Demoin is the
name Of the newly located and (by leg
islative act)' established capital of our
aouriShing sister Iowa, to which the ar
chives and Offices are to be removed ear
ly in the spring, The Burlington Ca
zctte says:
The building for the accommodation Of
the Legislature, &c., is already up and
inclosed, and only remains 10 be plaster
ed and painted. In style, arrangement
and capacity it is far superior to the old
one at Iowa City, and will be furnished
rent free so long as the State may desire
10 occupy it.
The city of Demoin now has within its
incorporated limits a population of some
five thousand souls, and it is confidently
expected that this population will be
doubled within the ensuing year. Aside
from consideration contested with The
capital, it is the railroad centre of the
State, and also the centre of one of the
most extensive and productive regions o
country in the West, all which is and eve
must be tributary to its interests. The
Davenport road will be at once extended
west, as fast as men and money cal
build it, from Iowa City to the new capi
lal, thus furnishing the advantages of al
easternoutIet al very early day, Tber
are already numerous fine hotels in til,
city, and three or four more very exten

/. citizens. p.
1t has been enormously believed tn;
$ the capital was to remain where it is now

without any foundation in fact, the Lei
\ lslature refuse TO entertain any propos
ton TO that end.
