"a HARD TEsT.-A gentleman once heard
laboring man swearing dreadfully in the
presence of number of his companions.
y He told hin it was cowardly thing to
swear SO in company when he dared not
do it by himself. The man said he was
uot afraid to swear at any time or in any
place. I'll give you ten dollars" said
the gentleman, "if you will go into the
village graveyard at twelve o'clock to
night, and swear the same oaths you have
uttered here, when you are alone with
God"
Agreed" said the man; "it is an ca
sy way Of earning ten dollars"
swell, you come tomorrow, and say
you have doneit, and the money is yours"
The time passed on; midnight came.
The man went to the graveyard, 1t was
night of pitchy darkness As he en-
tered the graveyard, not sound was heard;
all was still as DEATH Then the gentle
mans words, alone Nth God, came over
him with wonderful power. The thought
Of the wickedness Of what he had been do
ing, and of what he came there to do, dar-
ted across his mind like a fash Of light
ming. He trembled at his folly. Afraid
to take another step, he fell on his knees,
and instead of the dreadful oaths he came
there to utter, the earnest cry went up
"God be merciful to me sinner"
The next day he went to the gentleman
and thanked him for what he had done,
and said he had resolved not to swear an
other oath as long as he lived.

NEW ENGLAND.

The party response to the action of the
= Connecticut democratic convention last
week is not very cordial somebody has
blundered" is the common verdict, and de-
feat is now inevitable. The New London
Star openly bolts, the Norwich Aurora
growls its dissent, the Providence Post (al-
SO democratic) predicts defeat, the Boston
Post is very sorry, and the New York World
won't endorse. William W. Eaton, the
head and front of the convention and au-
thor of the platform is defeated in his at
tempt to get nominated for Congress by
Alvan P Hyde Of Tolland, more moderate
man: James E. English, war democrat,
and no copperhead, is renominatcd for Con.
gress by the party in the New Haven dis
trict, and in the New London aud Norwich
district, William NJ. Converse of Norwich,
Douglas man and supporter of the war,
is also put up. The party is evidently
frightened at its own ultraism, and is try
ing to "hedge." But that is impossible.
1t may save few votes for local candi-
dates; but the state ticket must stand or
fall by the issues made in itself and by the
accompanying resolutions, and fall it will
be. In New Hampshire, the thing is fast
being narrowed to point; the election
takes place a week from next Tuesday
the campaign fires are burning brightly
numerous orators are speaking nightly on
each side; but the dnerring canvass of the
republican state committee figures up re.
publican majority of'2,s00. The Rhode
Island republicans open with call for
state and congressional conventions on the
10th Of March, that promises not only
their own union but the union with them
of all loyal government-supporting demo-
Gratis, and SO most perfect victory

From the Home Journal
ON A LADY's HANDKERCHIEF.
-r By HARRY HARDWOOD LEEcH.
found dainty handkerchief,
The perfume seemed to me sigh;
folded it with rev'rent hands,
And laid II like relic by.
Again touch the linen wool,
Each strand seemed full of sybil-powers
felt faint breath on my lips,
Sweet kisses from the sweetest flowers.
And then sadly smiled to think
How men 60 dreaming on in vain,
And how they prove that Love is naught.
The moment ere they love again.
IT'S not pretty trifie. then,
This dainty handkerchief to me,
But idyls full of sweetest rhythm,
A halffulflled prophecy.
A maiden.llfe but just begun;
An angel-thought but half exprest
A woman and child in one,
A dream of love but haf-supprest
/ give it back, yet fain would hold
This od'rous souvenir of thee;
But no 1t needs no maidengift
To consecrate memory.
