A LITTLE GIRL LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS IN
ALLEGHANY CouNTY.-On Saturday last, Kate,
daughter Of Col. John Pickell editor of the
Frostburg (Md.) Gazette, aged six years, left
her fathers residence to visit Mrs. Patterson
and daughter, residing only q few hundred
yards distant. Becoming frightened as she
approached the house by the barking Of dog,
she passed beyond it, and Immediately got be.
wildered, and wandered about through fields
and valleys, and over hills and mountains,
woods and thickets, without resting, until half
past three o'clock the following morning, when
she reached the house of Mr.. David Knode,
about two miles south from Frostburg, where
she was kindly received, after an exposure Of.
nearly seven hours to the intense cold weather,
the thermometer, during portion OF the night,
being only two degrees above zero. Soon after
her loss became known, the bell Of the Luther
an church was rung, and the citizens turned
out almost en- masse, and in parties Of so or 60
searched the mountains and fields until three
o'clock in the morning, without success. fter
daylight the search was renewed and continu.
ed until nine p. ~, when news Of the safety of
the little girl was received. 1t is supposed she
wandered over distance of twelve or fifteen
miles, as she says she was compelled to walk
fast to keep herself warm.

IMPROVED TIGHT-sTITCH SEWING
MACHINES.

A teW Of the many reasons tchy these Setoing
Machines are preferred dbore all others.
l. They are remarkably simple in their con-
struction. A child can operate them, and
understand the mechanism.
2. They are the strongest Sewing Machine
made. 1t is almost impossible to break or get
them out of order.
3. They are sure in their operation; finishing
the work in uniformly perfect manner.
4. They make a tight lock-stitch, alike on both
sides of the work, which cannot be unrauelLed
5. They stitch, hem, bind, JeH run, and gather,
without bdstng.
8. They sew equally well the hghtest and the
heaviest fabrics.
7. They sew over the heaviest seams without
changing the tension or breaking the finest
thread.
8. They use any No. of Cotton, Thread, or
Silk, directly from the SPOOL
8. They use a straight needle curved ones
are liable to break.
10. The needle has a perpendicular motion.
This is absolutely necessary for heavy work.
II. They have a uheei feed none others are
in constant contact with the work.
II. They run easily and almost noiseless
Is. They are not liable to oil the dress of the
operator.
IA. They do not require screw-driver to set
the needle.
10. They do not have to be taken apart to oil
or clean.
l6. They do not form ridges on the under side
of the work, nor ravel out, nor are they waste
full of thread, as is the case with all chain-stitch
machines
II. They are capable of doing greater rang,
Of work, and in a more perfect manner, than any
other Sewing Machine, as is proved by the result
of our challenge for trial, which has never beer
accepted.

THE SUNBEAM IN THE CHURCH.

THE SUNBEAM IN THE CHURCH.
II sweetly stole through tinted pane,
With mild and mellow light,
And stayed within the sacred fame,
As though it loved the sight.
1t played on childhood's cloudless brow,
In warm and rosy rays,
And gave the mothers pallid cheek
The bloom Of other days.
1t touched the old mans silver head
With amber's softest hue,
And fondly DER the hslowed font
A peaceful rainbow threw.
It lit the sculptor's classic group,
Or monumental stone,
And fingered long with faith and hope,
And round the mourner shone.
II DER the blessed altar hung,
And crowned the priest with gold;
A royal robe the surplice seemed,
And fell in purple fold.
More bright than Aarons breastplate glowad
The holy book of God;
And gems bestrewed the very floor,
Whereon the people trod.
Fen thus the Spirits living light
Will all our lives surround,
And we that heavenly gift may seek
Within the Church's bound.
Then come, by font and altar come,
With faith and works Of love,
And darkest days shall brightly beam,
With radiance from above.

The True Position of the Douglasites

l. They maintain that the Supreme Court of the United States did not decide, in the Dred Scott case, that Territorial Legislature possesses no power to ex- clude slavery.
 9 That the question of the power of a Territorial Legislature to exclude slavery is "judicial question"
 g. That the Territorial Legislature may lawfully exclude slavery from the Territory.
 4. That unless tI,e Charleston Conven- ton shall endorse the doctrine that the people of Territory have the right, through Territorial Legislature to ex- clude slavery, MT. Douglas cannot accept the Charleston nomination. 5. That if "popuar sovereignty" is not endorsed they will not vote for the nominee.
 Here is bundle of the inconsistencies in the Douglas programme never before attempted. If the question is purely judicial question and has never yet been decided, why do they seek to force such a question on the people. What have the people in their political capacity, to dc with a judicial questions
 If the Supreme Court have not decided the question, and il is one for their decis- ion purely. how many Charleston conven- ticns will it take 10 settle that judicial question. If Douglas cannot accept a nomination with any other construction, and the Supreme Court should decide adverse to that construction, where would they stand ?-[Springfield (lll.'s) Demo- crat
