Jessie that little attention WAS given to re-
ligious questions The Minister constantly
preaching. praying. and exhorting upon
political ssues--and bis deacons and the
iaymen followed suit at the prayer and con-
ference meetings. Finally, worthy old
farmer. one Of The staunchest and best
members Of the Church, and firm unde
waiting democrat, was called upon to offer
a prayer.

Churches from the political strife and Bit

unhappily into mere political associations,

This was a stumper. 1t was the first
prayer ever offered publicly in that church
for the success Of the Democratic party and
its nominees. though hundreds Of prayers
and exhortations had been made against that
party When the old man had finished
there was silence for half an hour, and
the meeting then adjourned. Thus ended
the political preaching in that church,

The difficulty between Messrs. Clay and
Cullom was adjusted this afternoon. Sen

Mississippi undertook its settlement on
the part of Mr.. Clay. and Messrs Under

failed to make satisfactory arrangement
The affair was then referred to Senator'S
Toombs and Crittenden. who settled 1t in
this way: Mr. Clay disclaimed any in.

he said at the time of the quarrel, and Cub

Narrow is the view that sees in the ri
deress steed, and the bloody bridle-rein,
an epitome of war; or hears no voice there
in, but the shrek of rage, the groan of
pain, and the dead march, in Saul. Cut
of the battle comes peace, and pride upon
its knees, and out of the tumult angels are
formed, even as violets from the red earth
of Inkerman.

The Dying Wife's Appeal.

Come near me, let ne lay my hand
Once more upon thy brow,
And let me whisper in thine ear
Loves last and fondesi vow.
The Fps that breathe these trembling words
Will soon he cold in death,
And thy dear check can feel no more
Their warm and loving breath
go from thee; God only knows
How have long'd to stay
How have shuddered thus to tread
The lone and shadowy way.
Faith tells me that soon may know
The JOYS the blessed find,
And yet falter while cast
A lingering look behind.
see thee bowed before me here,
In bitterness and tears,
But can leave thee something still
To light thv weary years.
Young, tender forms will cling to thee,
Perhaps viii miss my tone,
And though they may not share thy grief,
Thou wilt not feel alone.
Fold them still closer to thy breast,
And -oothe their childish woe,
And cheer the many lonely hours
The motherless must know
The world, with all its hopes and Joys,
VIII sometimes make thee glad,
Butthey mist linger round hearth
All desolate and sad.
And o, when Time shallc thy grief,
Perchance the hour may come,
When thou wilt win another form
To share thy heart and home
When thou wilt welcome to thy board
A younger, fairer face,
And bid thy children smile on her
Who takes their mothers place.
But think not, could speak to thee,
That would irown or blame,
Though they should love the stranger one,
And call her by my name;
For they will speak to thee of me;
Nv memory is their trust;
A word, smile, look like mine
Will call me from the dust.
Yet make my grave no place of tears,
Bullet the dear ones bring,
To cheer their mothers lonely home,
The blossoms of the spring.
And even there thou, too. may kneel,
And softly press the earth
That covers her whose face ance gave
A brightness to thy hearth.
Then viii the forms of early years
Steal softly to thy side,
And for an hour thou canst forget
Thou hast another bride.
She may be all thy heart can ask,
So dear, SO true to thee;
Put o. the spring-tim of thy love,
yts freshness was for me
May she be blest who comforts thee,
And with a gentle hand
Still guide the little, trembling ones,
Who make our household band.
She cannot know the tenderness
That fills their mothers breast,
Bot she can love them for thy sake,
And make thee more thanbless'd.

fetkeep one place, one little place,

Yetkeep one place, one little place,
From all the rest apart,
One spot which, will call "a home"
Within thy faithful heart;
And in the holy hour of dreams,
When spirits fill the air,
With tender eye and folded wing
I'll softly rest me there.
May God forgive this erring love
That is to mortals given;
1t almost woes my spirit back
From happiness and heaven,
And yet feel it will not die,
When this frail liieis o'er,
But watch tillall my loved ones come
Where we shall part no more.
