The vacant Seat.

A few nights ago, just as the autumn
nal sun sank behind the western hills,
weak child closed her eyes, folded her
hands meekly over her breast and went
home to heaven. A sad hearted group
OF scholars met in our hitherto happy
school room. The tears would come as
we gazed npon the vacant seat, and
decked it with our humble offerings Of
flowers. Never more will that little
seat be filled by her who loved it so
well, the pet and pride of parents and
friends. A vacant seat in the school
room is always affecting, but doubly so
IN the present case, when we think of
the fragile little blossom that only few
short days occupied it. But dear
little friend said truly, "Alice will go to
heaven before l do" May you, sweet
one, be spared many years to be COM
fort to parents and friends. Sweet
Alice, we mourn thy loss, and at times
are tempted to murmur at the bitterness
of the cup; but we perceive in it the
hand of an all wises Providence and say
"Thy will, not ours be done" Parents,
you who loved your gentle Alice so
well, mourn not, for the flower is not
withered, only plucked to blossom in
brighter world where sin and sorrow is
not, and where angel Alice awaits your

Did Douglas want to be Republican !?

The Washington Constitu ion has
repeatedly published the following
statement, made by Senator Trumball,
and challenged denial Of it's truth, yet it
remains un' isyuted:
"Mr. Douglas called on Mr.. Covode,
a Republican Member Of Congress from
Pennsylvania, and requested him to go
to Trumball and get him to agree that
he, Mr.. Douglas, should be returned to
the Senate by the Republicans CT Hi
nois, and in consideration thereof he
would fight the Republican battles in
1860"
This was in 1857, and it is well
known fact that at that time Mr.. Doug
las was willing and anxious to CO oper
ate with the Republican party of Illinois
and be would unquestionably be in
the Republican party to day, if the Re
publicans of Illinois had consented to
become the mere tail to his kite. But
they spurned the bride and the proposed
unprincipled alliance, and hence Doug
has been more bitter in his denuncia-
tons of "Black Republicans" since,
than before that period.
To day he is yelling himself hoarse in
denouncing the Republicans as fanatics,
sectionalists and traitors, when, if the
Republicans had bought him, or he
them, in l85 as he wished, he would
be lust as boisterous "Black Republi-
cam now, as he still is Democrat"

Apple Crop.

The Boston Courier, speaking of the
immense apple crop in Massachusetts
and other eastern State, says:
The land is full Of apples. Every
orchard has produced an abundance.
1t has been great year of plenty, and
ifapples would only keep as grain keeps
we should have enough OF this years
produce to supply us through seven
years of apple famine. But untortu.
nately they perish with the year in
which they were grown, and the guess
ton is an important one with farmers
"what shall we do with the apples
They can't be marketed, a foruth part
of them. The markets are glutted
Many farmers are glad to take a dollar
a barrel for picked fruit. Thousands OF
barrels can be bought at that rate in
he immediate vicinity OF Boston.

Rs the Almighty ian Favor OF
Slavery

According to Douglas, God himself
has decreed that Slavery must exist in
the United States; consequently it is
sacrilege to attempt to NEEDLE with
or decry the sacred institution, This
impious declaration was made at Mem
phis, Nov. 26 1858, in the following
language:
"The ALMIGHTY has drawn a
line on this continent, on one side of
'ohsch the soil must be cultivated By
SidOe labor"
We know that all good men will be
shocked and panied by this awful i'm
pious declaration; but let them, then,
arouse themselves, and see that the
vote of the country shall rebuke the
author Of this infamous sentiment and
all his coaetrereS.
