OF not less than 5000 persons. Its effect was

overcomes an uDboly passion, sets bis foot

man who struggles with love that would
wrong another, or degrade her own soul,
and conquors The young man, ardent aud

man, and buries deep in his heart the sweet
instinct Of paternity, to devote himself to
the care and support Of aged parents, or
perhaps an unfortunate sister, and whose

and majestic uncomplaint, is a hero Of the
rarest type-the type of Charles Lamb.

with her father and mother in the old home,
while brothers and sisters go forth to happy

The Northern Mother.


They are all in the army,
My three brave, gallant boys;
They've changed the peace of home life
For marital pomp and joys.
1t tore my heart-strings sadly
To see them march away:
But when their country called them,
Icould not say them nay.
There's one that grasps true sword,
Commissioned to command
There's one within the ranks found
With musket in his hand
There's one, and he my youngest,
Whose stirring drum doth beat
The iaultless martial measure,
For proudly-stepping feet.
Their father fought before them
On many bloody plain
At Erie and at Chippewa,
At Yorktown and Lundy's Lane,
O,may his spirit nerve them
When in the battles brunt
For should they fall, I'll know them
They bear their wounds in front.
God shield my three brave darliugs
Throughout these crimson wars!
God help them in defending
Our good old stripes and stars
God speed them on their mission
To quell the rebel foe
With strength, that each arbitrator
May need no second blow.
And when my youngest boy beats
The loud, long roll at night,
That tells of foes advancing,
And bids them arm for fight,
God give unto my other boys,
Amid the battles flame,
To one-a dashing soul to lead,
To one-unerring aim.
The list of slain and wounded
Ill read with trembling breath,
To see how many darling sons
Have met untimely death.
And should mine be among them,
And fell they there like braves,
I would not wish them holier death,
Nor ask them prouder graves.

Martin r. Conway.

This gentleman is the Republican NOM
ines for Congress. and Is such, is entitled
to the support Of every true Republican.
he was nominated at Topeka. last week,
by large majority, there being no regu-
lar opposition. Mr.. PARROTS name not
having been presented to the Convention.
This nomination is but justice to Mr..
Conway, who has proved faithful when
10 do so was was to "take his life in his
hand" We trust that the Republicans
win see that he be not defeated.
Kansas is not so Overwhelmingly Re
publican that Mr. Conwsy's election is
beyond all peradventure. There are sew
lrsi dangerous places to lookto. Firstly
the election will come of in the midst o
. busy season with farmers, and scarcely
tyo-thirds vote will be polled. A very
large portion of those who fail to vote
it i fair to presume. will be Republicans
Thm. thousand or more Of our voter
will by that time be off to the wars, two
thirds of whom will doubtless be Re
publicans. A number OF active Repub
licans, who have heretofore done mucl
of the work at the polls, because they
had axes to grind, now have their instru
ments shsrpened and the teat in tbei
mouth, and will leave the work to 9th
ers who may not be so vigilant. Lastly
. candidate will be put upon the track a
s"Union" man, who will be supported
BY every Democrat, and all those WHIT
have heretofore been striving to destroy
the Government under professions Of low
for the Union. He will also receive the
support of many who have hitherto pro.
fessed Republicanism. in order to secure
place, but who have in reality always
been the enemies of the cause, and arc
now intent upon getting up new and
powerful party, in the hope thereby to
keep their bellies filed with public pap.
The personal enemies of Mr.. Conway will
be expected to fall into the opposition
ranks, and nothing will be left undone to
accomplish lis defeat. Conway is . Union
man. and be is Republican too. The
difference is, he is not in favor Of surren-
dering the Union under the pretense Of
saving it. Republicans must not re-
main inactive, thinking there is no dan.
ger. If they desire success, they must
be mp and doing.
