The class Of men who have brought so much
trouble upon the country within the last four
or i've years, have managed also to control
the churches We have sometimes been
amused to see these would be flights of the
earth. OF course we do not speak Of the
whole Republican party or of all members Of
churches, for each have honorable exceptions
This however, is about the programme
About six O'Clock on Sunday morning these
people commence putting on long faces, pre-
paratory to going to he place OF worship
They go to church and hear 8 sermon, not
10 forgive your enemies, but to carry war,
death and destruction to the homes Of peo.
pie who never harmed you These holy men
then return to their homes and anxiously
await the coming of Monday, when they are
ready to attend 10 their worldly affairs The
first thing they do is 10 cheat some poor fel.
low or to get Government contract whereby
the people are to he robbed.
They affect srent loyalty by selling some
poor fellow TO some recruiting officer, and ma.
king fifty or a hundred dollars for themselves.
They then 90 home at night aud pray for more
war aud destruction They ask God to kill
all Democrats The next day they incite
mobs and urge others to kill their neighbors,
not having the bravery to do it themselves.
They put in the whole week swindling the
Government wishing men mobbed, talking
loyalty, and praying God to keep them at
home, where no stray bullet shall ever enter
the portals Of their earthly tabernaclcs.

A DEATH CLOCK. We have recently been
informed Of a truly wonderful clock, which is
said to belong to family in Newport The
cloak is OF simple construction, and belongs
to the family Of Mr. L----y; but all the ei
forts of cIockmakers have not been able to
make it keep time-consequentl it has been
permitted to rest in silence A few hours be-
fore the death Of Mr. LIS sister, some
short time since, the clock suddenly struck
one alter silence Of many months
Ii thus continued to maintain its silence un-
til another member OF the family was prostra-
ted with fatal malady, when it again struck
one, and on the following day the child was
buried A year elasped when a second child
sickened aud died The clock was punctual
in sounding one few hours previous to its
death third child, little boy fifteen
months old, was afflicted with scrofula which
balfled the skill, Of hia physicians, and died
The clock gave the usual warning, aud
struck one. 1t has never failed in sounding
death knell when any Of the family in whose
possession it now is were about to die There
are stranger things in heaven and on earth,
Horatio, than Nre dreamt of in our philosophy.

acres OF the plant being cultivated for culinary
purposes, as we'll as for wine manufacture, it
may be well to state that the London Garden.

this pie plant for tarts. Seveaal cases are al.

ness has resulted from the use Of the leaves,
The Albany Cultivator says; "We have
known a similar case in this country. 0xalic

caution should be used not to employ any part
Of this plant as food except that which expe-
rience has proved to be harmless
