"Carleton'' of the Boston journal found
a Catholic priest out in Central Missouri of
most decided and active loyalty He hoist
ed the stars and stripes over the door of his
church at the beginning Of the war and has
kept it flying ever since. His life has been
threatened, he has been warned to fee but
he has maintAined his ground. Said the
priest, "All Of the poor men Of my parish
are Internationally loyal. They are all in
favor of immediate emancipation. 1t is
not so with the rich men. The poor men.
sir, feel that their homes are from God
They know that slavery would deprive
them of those homes, and by instinct they
are opposed to slavery
In passing the acts enabling the Terrific
ries Of Colorado, Nevada and Nebraska to
become States, Congress has stipulated
that their Constitutions, when adopted
shall be republican in form and spirit, ex-
ending slavery no less certainly than the
rule Of king and emperor. The areas OF
these new States, thus concentrated to
freedom, will he as follows: Nebraska,
III, $50 square miles Colorado; Ill, 700
Nevada, 9O,S92. OF the resources of the
last two named, comparatively little is
known. Both are undoubtedly rich in
gold and precious metals, and, it is belev-
ed, both will, ere long, become second on
ly to California in wealth and prosperity.
Nebraska has already asubstantial growth,
and will soon rank among the best agri-
cultural States of the West dispite the
peculiar disadvantages Of soil and climate
that seriously initiate against some per-
tons of its territory.

WHAT A LITTLE FLY DrD.-Near
by q church lived very wicket man, a
rdmscler, by the way, who seemed not
to fear God or regard man. He despis-
ed all good things, and loved to do wrong
rather than right The only good thing
he delighted in was music. 1t happened
that the church near him was remodeled,
and an organ was put in, and there was
to be some good playing on it, and ex-
cellent music by the choir at the re-
opening of the church. This man
wanted to hear the music, but he did not
want to hear the sermon. He was pug
zled for time, but fiuslly hit upon this
plan; he would go into the church, take
seat in an obscure corner, and listen to
the music, but stop his ears with lis fin
gers when there was any praying, preach
ing or talking. So he went in and en-
joyed the singing and the sound of the
organ, but when the minister prayed he
stopped his ears as tightly as possible.
When prayer was over, and singing
commenced, he took his fingers from bis
ears, but stopped them again as soon as
the minister began reading chapter in
the Bible. While he sat thus, self made
deaf a fly lit on his nose and began 10
run round, and occasionally it stopped
and thrust down its bill as if to take
bite from the skin. The man bore Il as
long as he could, and then involuntarily
brushed the fly off with his hand, leay-
ing one ear unstopped while he did so.
Just at that instant the minister read the
verse, He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear The words struck him with Pc
culiar force; he thought moment, un-
stopped his other ear and listened to the
rest of the chapter, and to the sermon
following. He went from the church
with changed purpose, became good
man, and lived many years, trying all
the time to do all tho good he could to
others, and to repair the mischief done
by his former conduct. The improve
ments in the church. the organ, the at
ractive exercises, were all instrumental
in drawing this man in where good seed
might be dropped into the soil of bis
mind, but that little fly was also neces-
AIRY to unstop bis ears.

And is it sol A little ,chile,
And then the life undying,
The light of Gods uncloudcd smile,
The singing for the signing!
A little While !--Oh glorious word,
Sweet solaco Of our sorrow-
And then, "lor ever with the Lord"

Then be it ours to journey on
In paths that he decrees us,
Where His own feet before have gone,

In lowly fellowship with Him

Light of our eyes, our longing:
His own voice bid us welcome home,
And we His people thronging
Shall rest our heart in His embrace,
Dear Refuge, ours for ever;
Look upward 10 His blessed face,
And fear its hiding never.
Oh, t viii be passing sweetto gaze
On Him in all His glory,

Till angels bend TO catch the strain,
Our human lips are swelling,
And "worthy is the Lamb once slain

Love One Another.

Children, do you love each other3 :
Arc yen always kind and truci
Do you always do TO others
AS you'd have them DO 10 youi
Are you gentle to each othcri
Are you careful, day by day,
Not to give ofiensc 10y actions,
Or by anything you say
Little children, love each other,
Never give another pain;
If your brother speaks in anger,
Answer not in wrath again.
Be not selfish to each other,
Never spoil another's rest;
Strive to make each other happy,
And you will yourself be blcst.

The Tempter and the Tempted.

I
Deep in the grave,
To sin a slave,
She went to rest;
Poor weary heart
That had no part !
In augh; that's blest
The voice Of sin
Had power to win
Her soul to blast;
No tears 10 flow,
Few cared to know
Where she was cast.
She once WAS true
Young heart as you,
And free from stain;
The tcmpter came
With him the blame,
With her the pain.
And yet the world
lis vengeance hurled
On her SO weak;
But took him in
All stained with sin,
With none to speak.
Well, let her die!
Forgotten lie.
With none TO wccpi
Her tomb shall break
A voice awake
Her from her sleep.
And angel tears
Shall Soolhc her fears,
And blot her sin;
And clothed in white,
Grown pur and bright,
She heaven shall win.
Der him at last
Death's portals past
Remorse shall roll;
A gnilty stain,
The mark Of Cain,
Be on his soul.

President of the United States for the ensu-

action of the Convention has our hearty APP
proyal. We concnr, and what little ability
we possess will be heartily devoted to the

Convention. To day we nail the flag to the
mast head. We conquer or perish. Defeat
is anarchy.-defeat is to crown JET. DAVIS,
defeat is a quietus on the Monroe Doctrine
and triumph of Maxamilian.-defeat is
thing not to be thought of, and therefore we

The roads have not been safe for Chinese

INDIAN HuNG.-The store of Anklin &
Tanquary, at Millvilc, in this county, on
being opened the other morning. was found
to have been entered through the floor during
the night, and some articles taken from the
show case. Susnieion settled upon Dick an
Indian, who had long lived with 10. Moore,
and steps were taken by the citizens for his
arrest They found him at the raneheria,
together with evidence of his guilt. As this
was not his first offense in the theying line,
the question was mooted as to the best way
of disposing of the case. Suggestion being
made by some one to hang him, and unani-
mously sustained, rope was procured. one
end of which was fastened to the neck of
the Indian, the other to the limb of an ada
cent tree. The rope being too short to admit
of the culprit's feet connecting with the earth
after having been adjusted to the limb, and
the end fastened to his neck having
been carelessly tied with slip-knot, Lo,
the poor Indian, was strangled to death.

THE ALUMNI AT OAKLAND.-We must ad
nit that the alumni at Oakland were unfor
tunate in their selection of an orator for the
occasion, and cannot for a moment believe
that the sentiments uttered, contrasting our
own government with the government of
France, and the consequent disparagement
of our own government, were the sentiments
or feelings of any other except the orator
himself We are surprised that the insinua-
alton that the loyalty of our own State is
only dollar and cent deep was not then and
there rebuked by the patriotic and intelligent
audience present. We heartily wish the
college success. and hope that their next
selection Of an orator will be more in keeping
with the times and sentiments of the whole
State.
