And the parents gave, in tears ard pain,
The flower they most did love;
They knew they should find it soon again
In the field Of lightabovc,
OH not in cruelty. not in wrath,
The reaper came that day.
Twas an angel visited the earth,
And took that flower away.
Thou art thinking of thy Williel
And thy tears are falling fast
Ofthc time thou first bcheld him;
OF tho time thou saw him last
OF the many, many hours,
When his little ncstlirg head,
Lay upon thy loving bosom.
TIL twas taken from thc-dcad.
Plying Savior! when the hour
For their death 3hall come,
Send their blessed, angel Willie
To escort his parents home. M. a. ON

which was indeed worthy of the attention
of kings and all Others in authority, as well

sixth. BY whatru of language, then,
do we speak of universal suffragcy Those
who are not permitted to approach the bal
lot-box, are subject to laws which they can
have no voice in fraMing Some of them
pay taxes; others are liable to do military
duty, and if many are children aud women,
arc not women and children citizens of the
State and subjects of the law? Where,
then, is the boastcd universally of our suf-
fragcI lis it a theory or myth Prac-
tically, one-sixth of the populcton votes
for and governs the rest This is on the
assumption that all vote who may. But
such is far enough from being the fact
Even the limited and modified suffrage
which the statute allows is still further and
materially rcstrictedin practice by the neg
lect of multitudes to exercise their fran
chisc. 1t is believed that not moro than
100000 ballots will be custat the approach
ing November election. Ifthis estimate
Is correct, and it undoubtedly is nearly so,
100000 electors--more than one-third of
the whole numbcrwill stay away from
the polls. One out of every three voters
cares too little about his right to exercise
IT. And this undera systomof small cleo
tion districts, bringing IA near every
mans door, The statd ts here dis
closed is not crcditablc to tho patriotism or
public spirit of our citizens. 1t is by no
means safe condition of things for the
public interests; for experience has shown
that the absentccs on election day arc not
the corrupt, the reckless, and the yenal.-
They are business men, quiet, industrious
citizens who dislike public occasions, pre-
fcrripg their private pursuits and the re-
pose of their homes. Need it be said that
these are the men who, of all others, should
give their presence, their influence, and
their votes at every election How shall
such be induced to attend ? A question
not easy to be answered But, ifit is deem
ed proper to fine delinqunnts at militia mus
ters, why should not ..milar method be
adopted with those who, without adequate
excuse, neglect the far higher duty which
elections impose? If every legal voter
could be broght to deposit his ballot, wc
should soon see a better order of things
Itwould then be impossible for dcmagogucs
10 compass their ends, as they now SO casi-
ly do, by welding the mass of floating and
purchasable voters, for tho honest element
would he too strong.-fIctr Iork Times.
