It has often been asserted that tho Govern

An Illinois newspaper once spoke Of Jno.
Wentworth's Chicago Democrat "as dirty
enough to be assessed as Real Estate. "
This remark is applicable to too many of
the journals Of the day, but their conduc-
tors are not able to injure any one and
hence their mud-balls thrown against the
character of their opponents are harmless
except in befoullng themselves. 1t wont
do to wallow with swine because you are
dared to do it; nor will it pay to throw
clubs at every NANCY spaniel that sits on
bis launches and says "bow, WOW" to you
as you pass. Every man has to pay some
thing for his position-those who are with.
out character should be permitted to have
the enjoyment coarse mind can derive
from envy and detraction. The highest
type of Humanity was followed by hoot-
ing mob of Pharisees and ANONYMOUSLY
executed st. Paul in preaching against
image-worship incurred the hatred Of those
who made their living by the manufacture
of (wooden and brass) gods, and thus will
it ever be in times of excitement when
REFLECTION is asleep and INTEREST is pick
ing his pockets. We do not charge faults
upon those who are so unfortunate as not
to sec very well. A blind mans fall is a
misfortune, not fault.

that there was more wild game in that sec

up our cotemporary and he settled us by
saying "the Marshalltown folks run their

And Southern eyes grew dim,
With sorrows blight God pity me!

His fiery spirit daunted,

He loved to tread wild, dangerous haunts
Apd mount the gddy height,

Aye, mock the eagles flight.

And left within his fearless heart
Deep, dark corr oding stains

And quenched the fires of patriot love
Which shone like stars before.

In halls of legislation,
In fancy hear his we'll known voice
Plead for his trembling nation.
Aye, hear rim like ''the o'den sires,''
The patriot fire deep burning
With scathing tongue, with words Of flame,
The tide Of treason turning.

Been fixed in deep devotion,
Upon the flag which long has been

The sxile's hope, the wanderers joy,
The terror of Oppression,
The morning star OF Liberty.
The herald of Progression -

But oh the fearful sorrow

A deeper grief Tomorrow!
Yet We shall have to think Of him;
Our love undimmed by tears,
Shall hang like amara nthine wreaths
Above our buried years.
Shall span the stream which glides between
This, and the World-Forever,
Shall build golden bridge of hope
Across the mystic river,
Where shining stars need weep no more,
In tears of dewy light,
