and not fully apprehended peril Mr. Sc
ward was lying upon his side, close to the
edge of his bed, with his head resting in a
frame, which had been made to give him
ease and to protect his broden law from
pressure,
He was trying to keep awake. having
been seized upon by a SICK mans fancy it
was that if he slept he would wake up with
lockjaw. He was brought to full conscious
ness by the scuffie in the passage way, fol
lowed by the entrance of the assassin, and
the cry Of Miss Seward, OH he viii kill

other side, but he felt no severe pain. This

was that. he was drinking tea, and that it
tasted good Mrs Seward was giving him
tea with a spoon. He heard low voices a
round him, asking and replying as to wheth-
er it would be possible for him to recover.
He could not speak, but his eyes showed his
consciousness, and that be desired to speak.

which he managed to write, Give me some

ENLIGHTENEp SUFFRAGE.

MANY of our most thoughtful and expert
enced statesmen are of the opinion that none
except such as can read and write should be
allowed to exercise the elective franchise.
1t is thought that to require this would grea-
tly foster the cause of education and materi-
ally increase the intelligence of the com
munity generally-for no parents would be
likely to allow their children to grow up with
out qualifying them to become voters. Be
sides if every citizen had the ability to read
all would feel that ever increasing thirst for
knowledge which uniformly takes possession
of business and beauties intelligent minds.
Newspapers and the current literature of
the day would be universally read and an
impetus would thus be given to letters which
in one or two generations at the furthest,
would produce people beyond all question
intellectually superior to any thatthe world
has ever seen. In England man can not
vote unless he has certain amount of pro-
perty, This policy inspires thirst for gain
and the English have become race of shop
keepers. . The prevalent theory here seems
to be that age alone should entitle citizen
to vote. This may not be casting pearls
before swine" but 1t is making the great
privilege of elective franchise so cheap, that
the unprincipled nobleading demagogue has
power that is dangerous and detrimental
to the state.
TO grant equal privilege to all citizens
without requiring any degree Of intelligence
or prudence whatever as a condition preoe-
dent, is to deprive the state of one of It's
most legitimate powers to elevate its moral,
intellectual, and material standard. In a
government that has already established free
schools for all, TO require that all voters
should know how to read and write, could
hardly be regarded as oppressive or unjust
Some of the European governments, having
learned by experience that ignorance breeds
mobs and riots, have adopted the policy of
forcing the rising generation to attend school
for a certain length of time, or until GER
tain amount of knowledge is acquired All
that is desired by these governments and
more than is attained by them, we can ae-
complish without force All we have to do
is to adopt for the rising generation the
policy of enlightened suffrage, and every pa
rent and boy in the land will at once havea
new incentive, and attach new Importance
to the acquisition Of knowlenge. The result
of such policy viii be whole race Of men
of whom not one has had his mental faeul-
ties neglected, an accomplishment beyond
the power Of any government on earth, but
our own, and possible to us only by making
our own schools free, and adopting the poll

AN INTERESTING STORY.
Mr.. Stewards Account of the Attack nj
ON Him.

Mr. Stewards Account of the Attack up
The American correspondent Of the Lon
don Spectator writes that he recently heard
Mr.. Seward and Mr.. Frederick Seward give
the following account Of their own sensa-
tons at the time of the attempted assassi-
nation:
Mr.. Frederick Seward said that on step
ping from his bedroom into the passage and
seeing the assassin, he merely wondered
what he was doing there, and called him
to account. On his resisting the fellow s
endeaYor to press into Mr. Stewards room,
the assassin drew revolver, which he pre-
sented at Mr. Frederick Seward's S head.
What followed, it must be remembered, took
place in few seconds. Mr.. Frederick Sew
ards first thought was, That S a navy re-
yolver.
The man pulled the trigger, but it only
snapped, and his intended victim thought
That cap missed FIRE
His next sensation was that of confu-
sion, and being upon the floor, resting upon
his right arm, which, like his fathers jaw,
was barely recovered from bad fracture
the assassin had felled him to the floor
with the butt of the pistol--he put his
hand to his head, and finding hole there,
he thought, The cap did not miss FIRE, after

tose condition, which was of long continue
ance.
On the very afternoon of the day when
Mr.. Lincoln was assassinated, Mr.. Frederick
Seward, who was Assistant Secretary o.
State had asked his father what preparation
should be made for the presentation Of Sin
Frederick Bruce, which was to take place
the next day. Mr.. Seward gave him the
points of reply to be made to Sir Freder-
ick, and be laid the outline OF the speech
upon the Presidents S table, and, as | have
previously informed my readers, Mr. Lin
coin that afternoon wrote out the reply

mind took up matters just where it had left

THE FENIAN CHIEF DISGUISE 1T now
appears that James Stevenson, the Irish
Fenian Chief did battle the English author
tiles in a bold way, for some time previous
to his arrest. The Dublin correspondent OF
the Irish Anaeacda, says: stEIe played the
gentleman of fortune - the man of large
means and expensive tastes. Instead Of
dodging about the mountains, hiding in
peasants huts, or sleeping in low lodging
houses, he rented handsome mansion in
the neighberhood of the city, he purchased
a quantity Of splendid furniture for it,
passing all the time as Mr. Herbert, son OF
Protestant minister of that name in the
south Of ireland, he employed gardeners and
a number of work people in beautifying the
grounds, erecting green houses, moss house
and SO forth So lately as this week he had
purchased about twelve pounds worth of
plants for his gardens aud shrubberies lin
every way he acted up to the character of a
man of property; and thus while the police
we're watching pedlars, tinkers, tramps, and
vagrants of every sort he escaped suspicion
until a few days ago. 1t is stated that the
magistrate when applied TO for a warrant
enabling the police to search the house, re-
fused to give one not considering as sufficient
the grounds of suspicion shown by the de-
tectiyes. But subsequently his hesifaney
was removed; he signed the warrant anu tbs
police proceeded on their mission. The
last steamer brings the news that he has es-
capped from prison and it is expected that he
will soon arrive I'm this country.

TIE POPE,S PRosPECT-

According to the British Standard, the
situation at Rome is not encouraging for
the Pope
THE Roman people nearly to man are
the mortal enemies of the Holy Father,
whom French bayonets alone, for many
years past, have been the means of preserv-
ing on his throne Assuredly Victor En-
manuel win furnish no help. The treaty of
September only binds him to make no attack
himself on Rome, and not to permit any
body else to do it, This is a master-stroke
against the man of sin, who is left to meet
his subjects face to face, and to settle mat
ters with them as he best can. No soldiers
are coming in to takethe place of the French,
and the annual deficit is fearful The reve-
nue. in 1864 was FIVE millions of crowns, and
the expenditure ten millions FIVE hundred
thousand IF this be not the way to the
Fleet, or to Gaeta, we know not what is.
Then as to Peter Pence, only one million
two hundred thousand crowns have resulted
from these; and we vouch for it, they will
produce much less for the year now current
At present, indeed, it is distinctly intimated
that every pecuniary resource of the Pope
is steadily falling off. To make matters still
worse, the entire circle of Governments who
are Papal supporters are in a rickety, we
might say, a rotten condition. Cardinal An
toneli himself actually showed at the late
council that no Catholic power was at pres
ent In position to come to the aid Of the

ONE or rnE CHURCH w,f.rrANr

The following story il told of Peter Cart
wright, the hard-shell Methodist pioneer in
the western praiFies. He believed In the
use of the carnal weapons Of war, and when
with rough characters would assert his mas
terry over them by simple physical strength
and daring. The following incident resting
on good authority, is very like one told of a
North Carolina pioneer; who pummelled
grace into rrofane and fighting black
smith.
One day on approaching the ferry across
the illinois, he heard the fefryman swear
ing terribly at the sermon of Peter Cart
wright, and threatened that if he had TO
ferry him across, and knew him, he world
drown him in the river. Peter unrecognized
SatI 10 tue FeaI y'1faErEf
Stranger, [ want you to put me across.
Wait till I'm ready, said the ferryman,
and pursued his conversation and structures
on Peter Cartwright. Having finished he
turned to Peter and said
Now Id put you across.
On reaching the middle of the stream,
Peter threw his horses bride over stake
IN the boat, and told the ferryman to let go
Of his pole
What for?' asked the ferryman.
Well, you have just been using my name
improper like: and said If | came in this
way you would drown me- Now you have
got a chance
Is your name Peter Cartwright?' p asked
the astonished ferryman
My name is Peter Cartwright.
Instantly the ferryman seized the preach
er, but he did not know Peters strength;
for he instantly seized the ferryman, one
hand on the nap of his neck and the other
on the seat of his trowsers, and plunged
him into the water, saying:
i baptize splash in the name of the dew
il, whose child thou art.
Then lifting him up, Peter added
Did you ever pray?
No.
Then it is time you did
Never will; responded the ferryman,
Splash splash and the ferryman is in
the river again.
viii you pray now! asked Peter.
The gasping victim shouted
I'll do anything you bid me-
Then follow me Our Father which art
in heaven, &C. Having repeated after Pc
ter, the ferryman cried cut:
Now let me go.
Not yet, said he, you must make three
promises; First, that you will repeat that
prayer every morning and evening as long
as you live; secondly, that you viii hear eve
ry preacher that comes within five miles of
this ferry; and thirdly, that you viii put ev-
cry Methodist preacher over free of expense.
Do you promise and voW2'

COURAGE.

To fulfil successfully the duties of life, .
degree vf moral courage ie necessary, tc
which very many persons are strangers.
In every important undertaking difficulties
arise unforeseen, and to the timid, insur-
monutable, However well prepared the
mind may be, however surrounded by favor
ing circumstances, yet a certain amount OF
bold enterprise is required to follow any no
bic end, and without which the most bril-
liant talents are bestowed in vain
Perhaps the most distinguishing trait of
great minds is that calm reliance upon self,
that fearless intrepidity which sees obstacles
only to overcome them. Such disposition
is conipicueHs in the characters of w Washing-
ton, Franklin, Howard, and others, andwith
diligence and energy there is scarce any de-
gree of success which is beyond its reach.
Providence has hung, as it were, the fair
est fruits of life on the loftiest bough, there
by intimating that it is alone those who, in
lofty thought, are, like SAUL above their
fellows, who are worthy of its rewards. And
while to the indolent, shame and mortifca-
ton are the spontaneous growth of earth,
honor, wealth and heaven blessing, is the
portion of those who are fearless in the
right.

SULPHUR AND CHOLERA. DIR. Herring
in his Domestic Physician, says of Ash
attic cholera :-ssThe surest preventive is
sulphur. Put half teaspoonful of flour
of sulphur into each of your stockings, and
go about your business; never go out with
an empty stomach; eat no fresh bread nor
sour food. This is not only preventive in
cholera, but also in many other epidemic
diseases. Not one of many thousands who
have followed this, my advice, have been at
