He HoNoRs HIS FATHER.-John Platt, of the
Sierra Democrat, records the death of his father,
in Iowa, and says to the receding spirit
Thou art gone to the realms of bliss The
little mound of earth in the old secluded church
yard, marks the spot where peacefully slumber
the remains of him who was an upright man, an
afiectonate husband and kind father, No more
shall we behold his tottering form nor listen to
his words of kindness, the remembrance Of which,
as we revert to bygone years, affords us consola-
tion in this our day of afilicton. Sleep on, noble
father In thy narrow house.
That's right, John; you're good and nlial
son, and this is our testimony, from long acquain-
tance, that you have been worthy of the noble
father you SO afIectionately apostrophise and
you can tell 'em so at home.

disposition to speak civilly and kindly of a

enough. but the welmeant liberality of senti-

Before We Gross the River.

We have been much gratified by kind remarks
on the character of this paper, by DR. Thomas
editor of the Christian Advocdte, who hopes to
meet us before we cross the river He means
the river deep and WIDE where companionless
ghosts find the floods rising and the bridge down,
Never mind. reverend friend, Wen contrive to

in the hinder part of the ship will lend us n
hand to get in. At all events, we mean to get
aboard, if possible, before the last bell rings
Dr. Thomas has given that journal distn
guished place in the Advocate Family His
position is high and cnviable it is no inconsid
cradle honor to be the organ Of that mighty con
grcgation of worshipping people for whom John
Wesley wrote and preached. The wisdom and
completeness of their church government have
never been excelled 10y human law constructors
if we understand it right, it is monarchial, but
still embodying a perfect democratic brother
hood. Their press is never trusted to weak
hands their preachers study cloqueuce in the
field of the world their vestry is often among
the trees of the unmarked wilderness, their walks
down in the twilight among the poor What

of the humblest circuit riders Would he go into

ership among these severely disciplined men, we
deem our Reverend friends frequent kind speak
ing deserving Of this respectful acknowledgment.
PoLITCAL NEwspApERs.-f editor of the

disparaging remarks by neutral cotemporary,
and observes
We find no fault with those who affect neutral

the neutral class are excellent, to a degree--hut
some of the best talent of the country Is and has
always been, employed on political papers. Po-
ltical editors are not, when they faithfully pur-
sue their calling the tools of aspiring politicians;
they are necessarily co workers with them, which
is no fault if man aspire to place, and can
attain il by pressing into public favor the prin-
cples he advocates ho cvinces the very talent
which supplies the superstructure of, and after
wards maintains, Republics Americans are
politicians and to be distinguished man in

United States have always been political jour
nails. If the reverse is the case in this State,
