u,o;ns Tho nspba-s Of that patty to be faithful
t. the end
All the respectabilh.v. honor, learning, and
bopesty of Europe, in be' society ana her press,
are on the side of the Republicans. marked
illustration is this: the .Ioarna. Des Debats. which
dates from the first years Of tbs century, has,
during its long life, taken the lead IN European
journalism by reason Of its intellectual superior.
ity. 1t has never advised violence or revolution
airy acts, even in $780, although during the reign
of Louis Philippe it built up and threw down
cabinets and ministers at pleasure. That journal
advises no concessions to Slavery, and stigma
ties the Fugitive Slave law as cruel and shock
ing to even the rudest human feelings, and as impos
sible in any community making the humblcst
claims to civilization.
"In the eyes of the world" it would be con-
sdered worse than cowardly to yield to menaces.
1t will forever dishonor the Republic, sin the
"eyes Of the world" to deliberately aud cOOlly
sanction the extension of the area of Slavery,
land of the internal slave-trade, its inseparable
companiop. We shall, when that is done, be
mark for the scorn of the Christian and heather
world, present and future. AS the English No
tCE0I Rtri6r says in, its last number, Mr.. Lin
coin and the Republicans are servants, and not
patrons Of the principle they represent, and can
not give it up without endangerng their honor.
The Representatives of the Republican party
now have in their hands the honor and life of
American liberty. Let them resist all dishonest
or cowardIy pressure; though others waver let
them remain firm, confident in the support Of
the masses who ever sustain the bold champions
of truth and principle when political tempest
conilses the land. Thus Only can the honor of
the nation be freed from the stain left on it by
recent Administrations of our national aifaire.

ly to turn to the history of Israel, to see
the full illustration of this fact. When
that people forsook God, he put the Assy-
rlan over them with that rod When they
became humble and penitent, he broke
that same rod in pieces, and turned the
heart of the Persian towards them, and
thus brought them out of their captivity,
and built up their waste places, and cover
ed the land with prosperity and happiness.
This is his way of working The princi
pies OF bis providence are the same to-day
that they were then. The way to have
good rnlers-to prosper as nation, is to
be a willing and an obedient people. But
II men become proud and corrupt-if
scepticisen is allowed to take the place of
the Bible, and the nation bows down to
Mammon, and tramples on the Sabbath,
and ignores all regard for Gods law, he
will punish them: it may be by fre-by
pestilence-by the sword or he may do
It, as he has done it, by putting wicked
men in the places of power, and allowing
them to rule with rod of iron, till the
nation sees its folly, and turns to God in
the way of penitence and new obedience.

We shall see a great deal Of him. Do you
know, my dear Mrs. Lester, that the new
book which has created such sensation
IN London is written by hing
Mrs. Lester answered quickly, though
her eyes hao been fixed on the half averted
face OF Evelyn, VINO leaned against the
wall, and was ftfully tying and untying
the string Of her bonnet In few min
utes more, the lively and talkative Mrs.
Beresford babe them all good by, and gay
ly futtered away.
Evelyn said Mrs. Lester, come and
read the paper, it has arrived, and there
is great news; come along.
| will come said the mother quickly,
Let Eyerlyn rest now; she has been
walking and is tired. ! will read to you
The husband anG wife passed into the
parlor; as they did so Mrs. Lester turned
look of anguish on the dropping figure Of
her child, as she slowly mounted the stairs
which led to her room.
When she had gained the refuge of the
pleasant little chamber, she closed the
door, and sank, YEARLY, on chair by the
window. She looked listlessly out on the
desolate prospect, white with frost; the
bare trees, with their fantastic branches,
thrown in strong relief against the gray
sky. 1t was dreary; and, alas, there was
no sunshine in her own spirit to invest the
wintry scene with its own summer radi-
ance. As she gazed, large tears fell down
her cheeks, and at length she hid her face
in her olasped hands and wept unrestain-
eGlv.
1t is SO sad-so very sad !! she mur-
INJURED to herself; Il am young, vet
life seems very hopeless and drearg. O
God is it wrong to wish to die?'
She turned her wistful eyes to heaven,
and she saw little star timidIy peering
forth in the twilight She sank on her
knees, almost invountariy, and prayed
And when she arose, there was holy
calm about her face, as if an angel had be-
slowed on her kiss of peace.
Il thank Thee she said softly, that

And she went down stairs, and perform
ed all her habitual domestic avocations
with her usual serenity. She sang her
fathers favorite songs, read to him, and
talked with him about his garden and his
farm. All the while her mothers eyes
were fixed on her with lock cf half won
dering tenderness.
Three hours afterwards the house was
silent, and the quiet lnaoi.liaht shonc in
at the corridor window, and by its bright
ness half fstartled Mrs. Lester as she stole
forth from her chamber, with timid, hush,
ed footsteps. Cautiously, she unclosed the
door of her daughter sIeeping-room, and
went in. Evelyn slept peacefully, bat the
ray of moonlight that crept in from the
ha1f-opened door, fell on her face, and
made the mother shudder, it looked SC
much like death. She touched the fail
hand that lay on the coverIet, with her
lips. as if to prove to herself how full o
warm, breathing life, the still form was

We clip the following from the Freder-
icksburg lVa.,l Christian Banner:

icksburg (Va,) Christian Banner:
A young man ana his wife were pre-
pairing to attend Christmas party at the
house of friend some miles distant.
Henry, my dear husband, don't drink
too much at the party, to day you will
promise me, won't yous' said she, putting
her hand on his arm, and raising her eyes
to his face with a pleading glance.
No Mile, | will not you may trust
me-
And he wrapped his infant boy in soft
blanket, and they descended.
The horses were soon prancing over the
turf, and pleasant conversation beguiled
the way.
Now dont't forget your PROMISE whis-
pered the young wife, as she passed up the
steps.
Poor thing! she was the wife of man
who loved to look upon the wine when
red. But his love for his wife, and their
babe whom they both idolized, kept him
back, and it was not often that he Joined
in Bachanalian reveIries.
The party passed off pleasantly, the time
of departing drew near, and the wife de-
scended from the upper chamber to Join
her husband. A pang shot through the
trusting heart as she met him, for he was
intoxicated-he had broken his promise.
Silently they rode homeward, save when
the drunken man broke into sDatches O
songs or unmeaning laughter. But the
wife rode on, her babe pressed closely te
her gyieved heart
Give me the baby, Millie, | can't trus
you with him. said he as he approached ;
dark and somewhat swollen stream
After some hesitation, she resigned he
first born, her, darling babe closely wrapped
in the great blanket, 10 his arms. Owe
the dark waters the noble stecds safell
bore them, and when they reached tn,
bank, the mother asked for the child.
With much care and tenderness h
placed the bundle In her arms ;.when sh
clasped it to her bosom, no babe was there
1t had slipped from the blanket, and th
diunken father knew it not.
A wild shrek aroused him, and
turned just in time to see the little ros
face rise one moment above the dark wave
then sink for forever.
This is no fiction, but the plain truth
The parties were known by the friends
the writer, and it should be a warning
those who indulge in Intoxicating drink
and resist the pleadings of loving wives.

The Story OF THE RoBBER-There

HE STORY OF THE RoBBER.-There is
beautiful story told of certain young
robber In the life of the blessed apostle
St. John. A young man of Ephesus, who
had become Christian, and of whom St.
John was very fond, got into trouble while
st. John was away, and had to flee for his
life into the mountains. There he ioined
band of robbers, and was SO daring and
desperate, that they soon chose him as
their captain. St. John came back, and
found the poor lad gone. St. John had
stood at the foot of the cross years before,
and heard his Lord pardon the penitent
thief, and he knew how to deal with such
wild souls. And what did be do? Give
him up for lost q No! He set of, old as
he was, by himself, straight for the noun
tains, in spite of the warning of his friends,
that he would be murdered, and that this
young man was the most desperate and
blood-thirsty of all the robbers. At last
he found the young Tobber. And what
did the rober dog As soon as he saw St
John coming, before St. John could speak
word to him, he turned and ran away for
shame; and old St. John followed him
never saying harsh word to him, but only

The Growth of the West,

The returns of the census Of 1860
which have been made public, reveal a
growth of population in our Western
States that is unexampled in history
In ten years, six States-Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin
have increased from less than four mill
Ions to nearly eight millions. They have,
besides this, peopled Minnesota, an entire
y new State, and thrown few hundred
thousand people into the Pixies Peak re-
glon, Washington Territory, and Oregon.
They have built more miles of railway
than there are in the rest of the Union:
and, if New York and Pennsylvania bo
omitted from the comparison, VIC will ven
ture TO say that they have more cities,
better hotels, school-houses, and churches,
than all the rest of the country together.
The men still live who remember TO have
walked over the bare prairie where Chi
cago now rears her splendid face. Unless
present appearances are very deceptive in
deed, many of us who read these lines.
will live to see Chicago the most populous
city on the continent.
For eight millions of working people
arc mighty fact. Much has been said
and written about the delinquency Of the
West in matter of debts. No doubt
Wisconsin has something TO answer for
in the way of stay laws and repudiated
mortgages; some other States, too, will
need, by-and-by, to clear their record Of
certain laws and legal proceedings of the
hard times. But it must be remembered
that the West relies solely for subsistence
on its crops, and that they really had not
n good crop there between 1856 and
1860. Two good crops in the West en-
ables n man to pay for his land. Two
bad crops make him bankrupt. The cred
itors Of the West will get good news from
there this spring.
Eight millions of free, intelligent, read
ing people arc fact that oyerrdes a le-
gion of minor drawbacks and temporary
checks.-Harpers' Weekly.

THE CAUSE OF LOLA MoNTEz's DEATH.
A few months ago she was attacked with
paralysis, which ended in death. The
cause of this attack remains 10 be relat-
ed, and we shall mention it here. When
Lola went to California as an actress, she
engaged an agent. This gentleman was
a married man, with two children, and
seeing him unhappy in their absence, she
presented him with sufficient money TO
bring them on. Shortly after their arri-
val the husband died. Lola then adopt
cd the widow and orphans-educating
the latter at Mrs. Wizards Seminary, in
Troy. An officer in the United States
Navy fell in love with one Of these girls,
and Lola, literally acting IN loco parents,
of his suit. During her last
visit to England the marriage took place,
Lola did not again encounter her protege,
who accompanied her husband to dis
tant State, where he was detailed for pub
lie duty, until recent period, when she
met her walking down Broadway in COM
pany with a lady of the highest ton.
With her usual impulse, Lola rushed to
her young friend-literally the child
of her charity-as if TO embrace her.
The young lady coldly drew back and said,
" Madam, l do not know your "Not
know me? | am Lola--Lola Montez."
" Madam" she exclaimed, as she turned
coldly away, Il know you not, / never
saw you before, and if you persist in
speaking TO me | will call policeman"
and walked away. Lola went home more
in sorrow than in anger, and that same
day had the first attack of paralysis,
which few days ago destroyed her.
Lola Montez was literally murdered by
ingratitude.

and picture-book were given round to
each Of the children. Then, they played
for an hour, refreshing themselves about
every five minutes with draughts of wa
ter. l am sure gallons must have been
drunk that day; and, after more cakes,
gave three cheers for the fountain, and
three for Miss Brown.
If you had asked the children few
days later what they had thought of that
little opening of the waters, you would
have found how few shillings it takes to
give an immense amount of pleasure. 1t
was a fete to them, and l believe such an
Inauguration as will be the protection of
the pewter mug and chain. The critical
week had passed before left; two weeks,
three weeks, and the mug was still there.
By-and-by the spout acquired moro the
appearance of fountain, as it gained lit
tie additional attentions from the villagers.
Sometimes flowers were gathered and
placed over it, sometimes green branches,
or fern leaves, and even little roots were
planted TO hide more of the bricks and
mortar.
We all wish we could do something for
the benefit of others. Who can calcu-
late the benefit done by the erection Of
such fountain and resting place as this 2
II is all very well to cry down the use of
beer, and TO cry out against drunkenness |;
but / reckon that the man or woman who
gives to the people water does more than
hundred who abuse them for drinking
beer. There is statistical little girl in
the village, who takes great delight in re-
porting to us the number of people daily
found sitting upon Miss Browns bench,
or drinking out of Miss Browns mug.
The erection of the bench cost thirteen
shillings, the building of the fountain, at
a rough calculation, rather over than un-
der seventeen shillings.
