SAINTS REST, (Which is in)
TIE STAIT wv NJ GERsY.

A piller hey fallen Last mite at ten
o'clock and sixty-seven minits P. NJ,
Issaker Punt, deacon Nv mi church,
and the heftiest pillar in the institushun
in fact the onla wun who paid his omar
terridge regular, departed this life.
Bruther Punt was born Dimocrat-
he received the faith bi inheritance, ez
his father was wun before him-and the
faith he KEEP. He mite hev ben sedoost
into the forbidden path Nv whiggery
and aberlishunism, and sich, but knoen
the fralety Nv humun nacher he persis-
tently refoosed tew learn tew read, and
thus made himself secoor from the wiles
of unscrewperlus polertishuns. 1t wuz
butiful trait in his karacter that he
wud never voat ticket that he did not
git frum the hans Nv centrel commit
tea man.
Bruthcr Punt commenst hiz political
lif voatin fur Andrn Jaxun, when he
wus but eiteen years old The riggid
moralist may object tew this act ez
lille gal. It wuz objected TIVE at the
time, and the youthful hero was arres-
ted and Imprisoned, and he Wud hey
remained in prizen too years he'd he
not bin pardond out bi Dimocratic
Govner, gust before next elexshun. We
next find him battlin for Dimocrasy in
the purson Nv Martin Van Boorin. At
that ele9 ~A. he voated twice and
drunk III As he repeatedly re-
marked tew me, that da wuz a tryin 1.
The 1st hundred drinks wuz nacheral-
the balense wus exsess, but he he'd
pledged his township for carryin ma
joriti-the candydaits he'd given him
the mummy to treet with, and he wuz de-
termined tew du it ef it cost him an at
tax Nv the delirum tremins. He wuz
always reddy tew sacrifse his stummik
fer the coz.
He managed tew survive Harrison S
elexshun, and wuz active in procurin
Poke's triumf. He morned durin Fill
moar's rain, and rejoist with exceedin
grace COY durin Peerse and Book
hanon's.
In 1860 he didn't voat for nobuddy.
He knoad Duglis was Dimocrat and
so wuz BrekinrUe. He attended metins
Nv boath faxuns, and hurrayed Wig
gerously fer boath but unfortunately
the community who fernisht him tikits
fer yeers wus divided, one haf fer
Duglis and tother fer Brekinrije. He
coodent decide wich wuz the real Dino
cratic tikit, and so on elexun da he
went tew the poles and went throo the
moshen Nv yoatin with a peece Nv
blanck papur.
He he'd no douts az to oppose Lin

fer boath committee men told him so.

Yes, dear departed cherished days,
Could memory's hand restore
Your morning light, your evening rays,
From Times grey urn once more
Then might this restless heart be still,
This straining heart might close,
And hope her fainting pinions fold,
While the fair phantoms rose.
But, like the child in oceans arms,
We strive against the stream,
Each moment farther from the shore,
Where life's young fountains gleam-
Each moment fainter wave the fields
And wilder rolls the sea;
The mist grows dark the sun goes down.
Day breaks-and where are we?
