on, WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT OF
MORTAL BIZ PROUDs
NJ PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN, or ILLINOIS.

Ia correspondent Of zion', Advocaie I'M ainel says
the following was clipped from paper printed there
three years ago j
Oh, why should the spirit Of mortal be proud2
Like a swift fleeing meteor fast flying cloud
A flash Of the liRhtnibg-a break Of the wave
He passeth from life to his rest in the grave.
The leaves Of the oak and the willow will fade,
BE scattered around and together be laid;
As the young and the old and the low and the high
Shall crumble to dust, and together shall lie,
The infant, a mother attended and loved
The mother, that infants affection who proved;
The father, that mother and infant who blessed
Each, all, are away TO their dwelling of rest.
The maid, en- whose brow, on whsse cheek, in whose
shone beauty and pleasure-her triumphs are by;
And alike from the minds Of the living erased
Are the memories OF mortals who loved her and
praised.
The brow Of the Priest, that the miter hath worn,
The eye OF the sage, aud the heart Of the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depths Of the grave,
The peasant, whose lot was to SOW and to reap;
The herdsman, who climbed with his goats up the
The beggar who wandered in search ofhis bread,
Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
So the multitude goes, like the flower or weed
That wiihers away to let others succeed
So the multitude comes, even those we behold,
To repeat every tale that has often been told.
For we are the same our fathers have been;
We see the same sights our fathers have seen;
We drink the same stream, we see the same sun,
And run the same course our fathers have run.
The thoughts we are thinking our fathers did
think;
From the death we are shrinking our fathers did
shrink;
To the life we are cinging our fathers did cling,
But it speeds from u5 all like the bird on the wing
They loved, but the story we can not unfold;
They scoTned, but the heart OF the naughty is cod
They grieved-but no wall from their slunbers will
come,
They ioyed-but the tongue of their gladness is
dumb.
They died, ah they died; we, things that are
That walk on the turf that lies over their brow,
And make in their dwellings a transient abode
Meet the things that they met on their pilgrimage
road.
Yea, hope and dependency, pleasure and pain,
Are mingled together in sunshine aud rain,
And the smile and the tear, and the song and the
diTge,
Still follow each other like surge upon surge.
'ris the wink Of an eye, tits the draught Of
breath,
From the blossom of health to the paleness of DEATH
From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud;
Oh! why should the spirit Of mortal be proud?

ChIorOfOrm and It's Safe Administration.

uuu It's Sh1e
The few accidents that have occurred (not
more than one in six or eight thousand cases)
have been, not from heart disease, but from
peculiar epileptic or tetanic fixture of the
respiratory muscles, which has been over
looked, but now being watched, no danger
can arise. Chloroform has been given thirty
thousand times in the harassing agony of
child birth, without single accident; and
twenty thousand times in the Orimean war
with a similar immunity from danger. Chlo-
roform exists in the blood as a vapor, and is
probably not dissolved in that fluid, so that
it more readily escapes than ether. Various
new applications have taken place, especially
in surgery and midwifery. Respiratory ac-
tion has its earliest point Of departure, not
from the diaphragm, but from certain fibers
in the glossophary nerve distributed to
the windpipe or laryDx. "He breathed into
mans nostrils the breath of life" is literally
true, and has very important bearing on
chloToform.
AS restoratives, artificial respiration with
common air is the readiest and indeed best.
Oxygen, nitrogen or hydrogen will act as
restoratives, but only for an instant. They
will destroy natural hematosis if persisted
in, Just as carbonic oxide does. Great deli
cacy is required in using small column of
air. If one uses q large column of air, or,
so to speak, large tube the size of a pro-
bang 1--WE are now speaking of the serious
accidents in the human subject), we will
have emphysema; but a better, because
smaller, instrument, and one got more
readily, is number ten gutta-percha cathe-
ter. Amylene escapes from the system in
such cases quicker than chloroform, and ether
also very quickly. The more volatile the
carbo- ydrogen may be, the quicker it es-
capes, and the quicker we get rid of its dan
gerous effects when they occur. OF course
there are several carbo-hy ydrogens, which all
act much in the same manner-acetone tur-
pentine, aldebyde, "Dutch liquid" etc; but
able odor and the quickness with which it
operates,

Political Uninnn.

The Coburg family have made their for
tunes by marriage. One of them is Queen
of England, another is Prince Consort, a
third is King of the Belgians, a fourth is
King Of Portugal, others welded into the
royal families of France, Prussia and Austria.
wants wife or husband there is Coburg at
hand-and, to suit all religious denomina-
tions, one branch is Lutheran and the other
Catholic. This policy of making advan-
tageous marriages has so much built up
Austria, that a well.knoWn Latin couplet
commentaries how, while other States grew
great by the triumphs of Mars, Austria
achieved prosperity by means of Venus.
Victor Emmanuel, of Italy, bids fair to
carry out the Coburg example of forwarding
his family interests by Hymenial connec-
tions. He has three sons, the eldest Of whom,
only seventeen years old, has not yet COM
mitted matrimony; but his eldest daughter,
Clotilde, married Napoleon Jerome) of
France, in her sixteenth year, and her sister,
the Princess Maria, not yet fourteen, is spoken
of as engaged to become second wife of the
young King of Portugal.
This accounts for the recent recognition
by Portugal of the Kingdom of Italy, while
Spain and some other ultra-Catholic coun-
tries hold back, in the vain hope that Fran
els II may regain Naples, that the banished
Italian rulers may get back to their Duehies,
and that Pope Plus may recover his lost
estates of the Church.

The spirits Of the Cabinet.

But Col. Holt seems to be the master
spirit of the concern. In proportion as he
exhibits determination on the right side, he
is opposed and attacked by those who occu-
py the wrong side. He is a quiet, silent
man, born in Kentucky ; and having lived
in Mississippi for seven years, to which
State he removed from Louisville, whence
he returned to Louisville after having real
lied large fortune at bis profession Of the
law, be understands the issues involved, and
the enemies against whom be has to contend.
His fame as an orator is worldwide; his
reports as Postmaster General since the
death of the lamented Aaron V. Brown,
are remarkable not only for practical sug.
gestions, but for elevated and classic style,
and, what is rare in men of his calibre, he
is splendid business man. The new At.
torney General Stanton, not quite so ex-
perienced in public affairs, but equally bril-
liant and courageous, may be called the
main supporter OF Holt. Justice compels
me to say that Judge Black is not behind
both his colleagues in firm and earnest eff
forts 90 the side of the Union. Mr.. Tou-
cey, who was somewhat weak in the kness
on the start, is now resolved, and the new

The CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STArEs.-The London Times remarks in a
recent article: ..l
The United States may possibly come to
understand the truth of the vulgar proverb,
which is just as true Of constitutions as OF
youth, health, wealth, strength and beauty;
that Eve never Thoroughly know the value
of thing until we have lost it." The ten
dency Of the present age lies probably in
the direction of undertaking the effect of
institutions on men, and regarding national
success and failure more as the result of race.
temperament and climate than of laws and
customs. But it is impossible to consider
the history of the United States since they
emancipated themselves from the control of
this country without finding at every step
reason to admire the extraordinary sagacity
with which their Federal Constitution has
been framed, and to appreciate the immense
benefits which that Constitution has con-
terred.

To the Editors ofthe Pioneer and Democrat.
Two articles have lately appeared in your
paper giving romantic account Of what
purports to be the wonderful discovery Of a
lake about six miles west of Fort Ripley.
Fort Ripley is situated in the s. E. d
of the N. E. ID of section 7, township 13l,
north range 20 west and the country lying
west of the Fort for fifty miles, and north
to above Grow Wing has been surveyed,
and every lake with an area of over forty
acres measured and laid down OF the Gov
eminent plats. .rsIl ..s-.
West Of Fort Ripley for twelve miles,
there are no lakes of any consequence; but
northwesterly and about six miles from the
fort, in. the southeast portion Of township
1872, north range 81 west, and the south.
west portion of township l32, north range
80 west, is a large lake laid down on
Sewell's map as Lake Alexander" This,
I suppose, is the lake to the discovery of
which SO much Importance seems to be
attached. The lake is about four and a half
miles east and west,' BY about two miles
wide, and covers an area Of $500 acres.
West Of Lake Alexander in township 1872,
north range 81, is another large lake, and
about two miles north of the latter there is
another; the lakes in this township covering
an area of about $500 acres. 19os- sll 81
nj The township lines in this portion of the
State were run by Oscar Taylor, Esq, in
1857, and subdivided by r. D. Lancaster,

GREELEY AS A PRoPHET.-Some people
think Greeley wonderously wise man, a
sagacious politician, &c. Herei an evidence
of it. The following is an extract from the
Tribune in October last !:
:sIt will be pleasant and instructive to see
what quiet effect, like that of oil poured
upon the troubled waters, the election of
Lincoln will have upon the agitation just
now of the political elements. They (the
Southern people) have not the slightest in
tention of giving any practical effect to those
threats of secession, for forcible resistance to
the Inauguration and administration of Lin
coin, out of which some of our city papers
are striving to create panic. The election
over, they will hasten to shake off suspicion
fatal to all their future projects. The avowed
disunionists will shrink into little faction
about as numerous and influential as our
Garrison Abolitionists, while the great bulk
of the southern politicians will be too busy
in looking forward to new combinations,
and in schemes for establishing their lost
influence at the North, to have any time or
thoughts to spare for disunion projects. AT
ter the storm we shall have a calm" l.n
