CHIED-ANEELs--- EARLY CO.
ING HOME.

Benjamin F. Taylor of the Chicago
Journal Debates thus eloquently and
feelingly upon the death of child:
1t went in the morning. bright and
radiant morning; many went yesterday,
more to-day, and there are dews to be
shed for the departures of o-morrow.-
And can it be wondered that pleasant
summer mornings should beguile them
into going2 Is it marvel that they do
not wait for the burden, and: the noon,
but follow the lark, and hear her song
over the rim. of the rainbow? That
those words SO beautiful, they should
make so true, "and JOY cometh in the
morning." 4
Going in the morning. glorious
morning-when the sky is all beauty,
and the world is all bliss; ere the dews
have gone to heaven, or the stars have
gone to God; when the. birds are singing,
and the cool winds are blowing, and the
flowers are out that will be shut at noon,
and the clouds that are never rent in
rain, and the shadows inlaid with Grim
son lie away to the west.
We have sometimes seen a little coffin,
like casket for jewels, all alone by it
self in huge hearse, melancholy with
plumes, and loomy as frewn, and we
have thou ght not so, should we accom-
pany those little way who 90 in the
morning. We have. wondered why they
did not take the little coffin into the
carriage with them, and lay it gently
upon their laps the sleeper there lulled
to slumber without BOSOM or cradle.
We have wondered what there was for
tears in such a going-in the early
morning from home to home-like fair
white doves with. downy wings emerg-
ing from neither night and Auttering
for entrance at the windows of Heaven.
Never has there been a hand wanting to
take the wanderer in, and shut out the
darkness and the storm.
Upon those little faces it never seemed
to US that death could place his great
seal, there is no thought of the charnel
house in those young listeners to the
invitation whose acceptance we are
bound not to forbid, there should be
morning songs, and not sighs; fresh
flowers, and not badges of mourning;
no tears nor clouds, but bright dews and
bright dawnings together.
Fold up the white robe; lay aside the
forgotten toy smooth the little un-
pressed pillow, and gently smile as you
think ef the white garment, of the harp
of gold, and of the fair brow with it's
diadem of light; smile as you think that
no years can make that memory old
An eternal, euileless child, waiting
about the threshold of Paradise for the
coming friend from home
Here the glad lips would culver with
anguish; the bright ourles growing
grizzled and gray; the young heart weary
and old; but there, changeless as the
stars, and young as The last new morn
ing.
The poet tells of II green bough rent
by the tempest from the tree, and swept
rudely along on the breast of au angry
river, and mother bird, with cries of
grief, futtering beside it, for her nest
and nestlngs were there. All. better
to be wrafted away from the earth, than
thus that they should drift around the
world in storm.

Of Interest to aIr. VaiiandiSnan,.

The Richmond (Ind) PaUadium is
very indignant over Il rumor that Mr.
Vallandigham proposes to make speech
in that city. 1t says:
We hope his friends, if he has any
here, will dissuade him from making the
attempt; because We fully believe, not
withstanding we live in a Quaker COM
munity, that they'd have to carry out of
our city that dead body" he once
boosted he'd permit to be walked over
in certain event! The people here
abouts believe in the doctrine that every
man has right to do as he pleases,
provided he pleases to do right; and un-
der that belief, they'll net permit Val.
or any other scoundrelly traitor to belch
forth treason without meeting with sure,
certain and deserved punishment
