And darling little boy.

More happy than myself
Possessed of such n lovely wife
And prattling little elf.

But my little boy got angry,
And my wife began TO scold.
The noise grew loud and louder;
The babe began to claw;

THE GREAT MYSTERY. The following
beautiful passage is taken from Timothy
Titcomb's or Hollands '.Preachings upon
Popular Proverbs" which the Springfield
Mass Republican is now giving to the
world
1.-The body is to die; so much is certain.
What lies beyond? No one who passes the
charmed boundary comes back to tell The
imagination visits the realms of shadows
sent out from some window of the soul over
life's restless waters, but wings its way wea-
rily back with no olive leaf in its beak as
token OF emerging life beyond the closely
bending horizon. The great sun comes
and goes in heaven, yet breathes no secret
wilderness. The crescent moon cleaves her
nightly passage across the upper deep, but
losses overheard the message and displays
no signal. The sentinel stars challenge each
other as they walk their nightly rounds, but
we catch no. syllable of their countersign
which gives passage to the beavenl: camp.
Shut in ! shut in ! Between this and the
other life there is great gulf fixed, across
which neither eye nor foot can travel. The
gentle friend whose eyes we closed IN their
last sleep long years ago, died with rapture
in her wonder-stricken eyes, smile OF In
effable JOY upon her lips, and hands folded
over triumphant heart, but her lips were
past speech, and intimated nothing OF the
vision that enthralled her.

Over the house tops. over the street,
Over the heads of the people you meet
Dancing,
Swimming along.
Beautiful snow it can do nothing wrong;
Flying to kiss fair lady's cheek,
Clinging to lips in II froiie&some freak,
Beautiful snow from the heaven above,
Pure as al angel. as gentle as love.
Oh the snow the beautiful snow.
How the flakes gather and laugh they go,
Whiring about in its maddening fun.
1t plays in its glee with every one,
Chasing,
Laughing,
Hurrying by,
It lights up the face, and 1t sparkles the eye!
And even the dogs, with bark and bound.
Snap at the crystals that eddy around;
The town is alive and its heart in glow
To welcome the coming of beautiful snow.
How the wild crowd goes swaying along.
HaiIing each other with humor and song
How the gay sledges. like meteors, fash by,
Bright for the moment, then lost to the eye
Ringing,
Swinging.
Dashing they go,
Over the crest of the beautiful SNOW
Snow so pure when it falls from the sky,
To be trpmpled in the mud by the crowd rushing
by,
To be trampled and tracked by the thousands of
feet,
TIL it blends with the filth in the horrible street
Once was pure "a the snow-but fell
Fell like the snow fakes, from heaven to hell;
Fell to be trampled filth of the street
Fell to be scoffed, to he spit and beat
Pleading,
Cursing,
Dreading to die.
Selling my soul to whoever would buy,
Dealing in shame for Il morsei of bread,
Hating the living and fearing the dead
Merciiul God have fallen SO low?
And vet | was once like the beautiful snow.
Oace was fair as the beautiful snow,
With an eye like its crystal, heart like its glow
Once l was loved for my innocent grace
Flattered and sought for the charms Of my face !;

God, and myself, have lost by my fall
The verest wretch that goes shivering by,
Will take wide sweep, lest / wander too n Ugh );
For all that is above me, know,
There is nothing that's pure the beautiful snow
How strange it should be that this beautiful snow
Should fall on n sinner with nowhere to go
How stcange it should be, when the night comes

An Answer.

The question is frequently asked us, by
Douglas men, "What are we to do, now that
our party is defeated in the State at large
Where are we to go? Shall we join this
party or that party, or shall we remain neu-
trail ?" Our unhesitating reply is, be firm and
true 10 your principles You have been hon
est and independent in your political opin-
/ ions thus far BE so still. There is nothing
to be gained by abandoning what is just and
true. Though maionties should be rolled up
against you to the "crack Of DOOM" your
principles are none the less worthy, none the
less sacred But the right cannot always
fail. Error, falsehood, venalty and corrup-
tion may flourish for a season. but they must
ultimately fall and ANONYMOUSLY bite the
dust at the feet of truth and justice The
scriptural Devil does much evil by clothing
himself in the habiliments Of righteousness
and preaching good while he commits wrong.
So with the black devil Of Lecomptonism.
lie steals the garb of popular sovereignty
which he has no right to wear puts on the
mask of devotion to the rights of the people
purloins the thunder of the Douglas party,
and, making the more stupid masses believe
that he is a better Douglas man than Doug
las himself, wheedles them into the support
Of unmitigated political corruption and un-
bounded official villainy. But this thing, as
we have said, cannot always last. The Dew
il of the Bible is to be let loose for season,
and afterwards bound down to the bottom of
hell with an uni readable chain. SO will the
dragon Of Lecomptonism be bound down in
the hell of public contempt and indignation,
after he has had his little season.
Never did wrong and outrage flourish long
in a free country. The people soon begin to
see the undermining process at work upon
their liberties, and arouse themselves in time
to counteract and repeal it. Without their
consent no scheme of tyranny or corruption
can be carried out. They may, under a Sc
rious misapprehension, lend their votes, at
times, for the support of efforts which are
aiming directly at their destruction, but they
will eventually arise from their lethargy,
awake from their delusion and, turning upon
their deceiyers, crush them to death beneath
their feet
Therefore, we would say to the Douglas
men of this region as we'll as elsewhere, be
Of good cheer; abandon no part of your
ground; you are nobler men in defeat than
your enemies in victory; your day will come
success will eventually crown you, if you but
remain true to yourselves and the cause
which you have espoused But, if you
should not succeed if it should so happen
that you never live to see the day when
your principles win be adopted, is it not bet
ter to fail in good cause than succeed in
bad one? Henry Clay said he would rather
be right than be Pre- tsdent. And zoe say that
we would rather be a wart-producing toad,
domiciled in the damp precincts of some sun
less cave, than one of those lacqueyed syco-
phants of power who receive their opinions
as a slave receives his orders from his mas

HURRAu FOR HoUsroN The Lecompton
press are industriously endeavoring to make
it appear that the election of Sam Houston
over Mr.. Runnels, as Governor of Texas, was
not an Administration defeat but victory
And they undertake to prove it by the argu-
ment that the Convention which nominated
Runneis neglected to endorse the Administra
ton, while Houston personally did endorse
it. Now, the facts Of the case are that G en-.
Houston endorsed certain portions Of the Ad-
ministration policy of the President, but his
Kansas policy he did not endorse, while the
Convention which nominated Runnels re-

simply because it was afraid to do it. 1t was
