Speak A Good Word.

If you say anything about neighbor or
friend. or even a stranger, say no i'll. 1t is
a Christian and brotherly charity TO suppress
our knowledge of evil of one another, I'M
less our higher public duty compels US to
hear accusing witness. And if it be true
charity to keep our knowledge of such evils
TO ourselves, how much more should we re-
fuse TO spread egH report of one another.
Dscreditable as the fact is, it is by far the
commonest tendency to suppress the good
we know of our neighbors and friends. We
act in this matter as though we felt that by
pushing our fellows down or back peg we,
were putting ourselves mp and forward.
We are Jealous of commentator unless we
get the larger share. Social conversation,
as known to every observer, is largely made
up of what is best understood by the term
scandal. 1t would be difficult to find talk
alive group, of either sex, who could spend
an evening or an hour together without
evil speech of somebody. blessed are the
peacemakers," is not the maxim by which
we are chiefly governed in our treatment
of personalities. Better thousand times,
stand or sit dumb than to open our lips never
so eloquently in the disparagement of others.
What we should do in this, as in all our hui
man relations, is to practice the Golden Rule.
If we do unto Others as we would that others
should do unto us. we shall be exceeding
careful not to volunteer i'll words about them.
Where other than good word is to be spok-
en-, let it be spoken to the person concerned.
that he may know your motive is not idle,
cowardly and sinister, and that he may have
a chance to defend himself

Lines written the death Of NELSON p, only child c
Hiram and Frances Hodpkns who died of scarlet fever
Dec % after distressing illness Of three weeks aged w
years aud three months.
Sleep, little one, in that unbrokeu slerp
Prom which. on earth, thou never more canst wake:
Around thy bed, the angels yirs keen
And calm and sweet, thy drelmess sumber make
We bid thee sleep-but oft the bitter cry
Breaks forth from every wounded kindred heart
To us, thy prattling voice, and shining eve
Can ne 'er again their tale Of love impart.
We miss thee when the evening shadow falls
And silently we gather round the hearth
And when on earth night throws her sable pail,
In the lone chamber, there Is greater dearth
When morn's gray dawn steals oior the snoclad hills
And slowly to the light Of day our weary ewes uucloq
They rest--the sight hearts with anguish thrills
Upon our little Nelson's east OF clothes.
We know the garments now prepared for thee
Are shining robes of pure and spotIess white
The home, to which Our Father ealeth thee
Is in the realms of never fading light.
We know that there thou art exempt from pains,
FROM every earth-born grief and care set free;
We must not wish to call thee back again
But long our riyen hearts yearn for thee
Amid the gloom which snrouds our dwelling now.
We b ar voice that cheers our lonely wav
II tells meeky meath the stroke to bow
Aud whispers . Here ye have not long to stay.H
There is home house not made with hands
Thy Heavenly Parent hath designed for thee
Where friend meets friend and reunited bands
Their voices join In one grand harmony BERTHA

Mr.. A was remarkable for punctuality

minutes too fast, and before these three
minutes had expired Mr.. A. was in his seat
He was as punctual in small as in great

He was remarkable for reading the Bible
In most busy periods of his life his custom
was to read iive.chapters day in the Bi.

Doc TRAINS on THE LAKE.-A letter
from Bay county, Mich, thus describes the
dog trains on the Lakes, by which the mails
are carried during the winter months:
We have, during the close of navigation
what we call the dog mail' and by the by
| will describe to you how our mail is car.
red in this new and wild country. The
route is from Saginaw city TO Green bay or
Mackdinaw, by land. The contract is taken
by half breeds French and Indian, hardy
athletic men. They have the thing so ar.
ranged that one train of dogs leaves each
end of the route every week. That gives
all the offices on the bay shore mail a
week each way.
The train is composed of from four to six
large dogs, harnessed in single file, and at.
tached to what they call trance This
is kind of dray, some seven feet long, and
about fifteen inches wide, turned up before
so that it will run easily over the snow, on
which they bind their mail bags first, then
their blankets snow shoes, provisions, hatch.
ct, &c. They are prepared to camp al
night, wherever darkness overakes them
There are generally two men and six dogs
to each train. They feed their dogs on dry
corn meal and tallow. Their mail baggage
&c, make up quite load, which the dogs
seem TO draw with much care and speed
This mail continues only during the close o.
navigation.

Mrs. Martineau denounces crinoline and
says, that the petticoats of the present day
only serve as mask of human form-a
perversion of human proportions. A wo-
man on sofa looks like a child popping up
from haycock. A girl in dance looks
like Dutch tumbler that was favorite toy
in my infancy.

The BreckinFidge Democrats of Illinois
held a State Convention at Springfield,
on Thursday last and nominsted = straight
ticket for State officers and Presidential
electors. Resolutions were passed urg
ing the memfens of the party to pursue a
similar course in every county and every
Senatorial District. This does not look
like the submission to the Douglas party
Which has been reported within the last
ten days as finally resolved on by the
leaders of the Slave Code Democracy of
Illinois. They mean to wage the war to
the death. Douglas is to be slaughtered
en- his own dung hill Orleans N r.
A,hericda.
f'Illinois all right, " and why is Illinois
al right with this abolition sheet2 The
answer is given. douglas is to be slaugh-
tered on MIA own dang hills And how is
he TO be slaughtered? The answer 10 this
question is also given in the slip from the
Asssr5eaB, so-wis: By betting Demo-
crafs nominating and running Breekin-
RIDGE electoral ticket, and by doing so
they secure the State for Lincoln, which
makes 'sIllinois all right" with the Abo-
litionists and Black Republicans.
Let every true Democrat in Illinois, or
elsewhere, reaeet before voting for Breck-
infidge electors, that by doing so he aids
in electing Lincoln, and In the language
Of the american, makes "Illinois all
right" for Abolitionisn and Republican
ialh. Let Breckenridge men slso reject,
that If they are opposed to Republican
ism and the election Of Republican
President, that by running an electoral
tidkea they are aiding 10 making the State
"an right'' against themselves.
Can Democrats be deceived as to the
effect of their action, when they see Abo-
hlion and Black Republican, presses all
over the country growing Whenever an
electoral ticket is nominated in opposi-
sidn to the regular nominee II they
Will persist in thair course after sueh ey-
idenee IL presented to them, do we do
wrong when we call them traitors?

We overheard, q few evenings since, q
conversation between Democrat and
one of the Breckinridge wing Of the Re-
pablican party. The latter was denoune-
ing in those "grosCtiny1' tones, peculiar
70 himself, the friends Of the regular
Democratic nominee, a. Aboltionisssy
which reminded Us Of g conversation in
which he stated to Us, that he was the first
man fronrIowa who wrote an article for
the Chicago 7faes, taking ground in IA
vor of the nomination Of Senator Dove
LAS for the Presidency. Now, We ask
who has changed ? Were both Douglas
and the man referred to Abolitionists at
the time he wrote that '.frst'' letter, or
were they both Democrats standing upon
the same platform? Douglas stood then
upon the CINCINNATI Platform, that man
had stood upou it. Douglas now stands
upon it, the otheE> has abandoned it.
Who has changed, and who is lending
aid and comfort to the Abolitionists BY
repudisting the platform that was good
enough for Buchanan and Breckinridge to
stand upon when they we're elected, and
who 1T this time prefers the election OF
Lincoln to that of Douglas, the regular
nominee of the Democratic party. We
ask again, who has changel2
