Sweet as chimes of low bells pealInG,
When eve fades away
Sad as winds at night they moan
Through the heath, DER mountain lone
Come the thoughts of days now gone
On manhood's memory.

Hide at eve their light;
As the bells, when fades the even,
Peal not on the night;
As the night winds cease to sigh,
When the rain falls from the sky,
Pass the thoughts of days gone by
From ages memory.
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,
And the bells give sweet-voiccd warning
To the world to wake.
Soon the winds shall freshly breathe

But the Past is lost in Death,

WOMAN's RIGHTS AND WRoNGs.-Mrs. j. f.

Women's Rights Convention, made the following
alusion to the feat of climbing, by women. 1t

She spoke of a distinguished man who had at

if women are to run up the masts of ships like
monkeys. She did not think women would enter
into competition with any performances of the
monkey; man has shown such remarkable apt

RELIGION AND PoLmCs.-We have not unGre-
quenlly heard political partizaus remark after
nominations were made, or rs election day drew
Nigh that citizens of the Catholic persuasion
would vote as the presiding priest might Indicate,
1t is miserable bad policy to attempt to mix
politics with religion, and we are able to say, so
far as experience goes, that we never knew of an
instance where the nominee Of political party
was in any way assisted at the hands OF q teacher
of any relgous creed. AS an instance Of such
proclamation, we quote the following rebukc
from late number Of the Cathoic, published at
Pittsburg, Penn.
"The Archbishop of New York, together with
the Bishop Of ST. Johns, Newfoundland, witnessed
from retired position for u few moments, the
proceedings of "a Douglas meeting lately held at
New York and the hand organs throughout the
country set up squeak that Archbishop Hughes
has come out for Douglas! When misrepresent-
alton can hide itself under no better pretcXts,
we may well believe that its cause is desperate
Politicians can rest assured that no ecclesiastical
influence is brought to bear on the votes Of Cath
olics and that if they want clcrgymcn for stump
speakers, or religious papers for party organs,
they will have to look for them elsewhere than
in the ministry of the Church, or the official or
gans of the Catholic Prclates."

not, as many suppose, sink it deem into
the ground, inasmuch as its breadth IF
tread has to be overcome. 1t must he
remembered that its tread is eighteen in.

common wagon, aud Of course il will
sustain more than a proportional weight
without leaving a greater impression on
the soil. The steam power can be great

that if twenty. pounds will prepel the
wagon, an increased power of an equal
number of pounds will enable it to draw

there can be no room to aoupt thu: viii
draw the load proposed, and perform
without lifhculty. Indeed, we now look
upon it as a success and although the
world may be incredulous, we expect to
