stage of life-are heard of no more.
Why? They do not do a particle of
good in the world, and none are bles-
sed by them as the instrument of their
redemption. Not word they spoke
could be recalled, and so they per-
ished; their light went out in dark
ness, and they were not remembered
more than the insects Of yesterday.
Will you thus live and die, o man

in kindness and love, and mercy on
the hearts of thousands you may come

DEFEcrIoN.-Among the many promi-
nent republican gentlemen who have left
the "Equalitists,' the name of no one gives
us greater pleasure than that Of Geo. M.
Robinson Esq, at Appleton, Wis. Mr.. r.
is chairman of the Republican Congress
ional Committee of his district, but he can
not indorse the incendiary conduct Of
Thad. Stevens and his followers. Thus
goes on the work of civil revolution. Ben.
Butler may threaten war if congress is not
sustained; Oglesby of ILL.,, may deal in
curses; Colfax may attempt to cajole the
Irish whom, as "Knownothing" he once
organized himself to deprive of political
rights, but it's of no use the handwriting
is on TIC wall the ablest general officers
and the rank and file of the late Federal
Amy, are with the President and the pco-
pie, and tits only question of time-brief
ut that-when all this pretentious horde of
Treasury robbers shall be committed to the
charnel house of infamous forgetfulncss.
May Heaven end human energy aid JUS
tice in extinguishing the leading YAM
pyres of the Republic. For the masses, we
entertain charity like those who crucifed
the Great Nazarene: ''They know not
what they do" when they strike down
written law and constitutional liberty, to
crafty hate toward those who ore work
ing for their freedom.

WRONG PApER.-At recent temperance
meeting an amusing incident took place.
A strong exhortation had been delivered
by a speaker present, and the president
requested the secretary to pass around the
pledge for signatures, and taking from his
pocket what he supposed was the docu-
ment, he, without looking at it, gave it to
the secretary for that purpose. A large
number of names were enrolled of both Ia
dies and gentlemen present, and the docu-
ment returned. 1t was observed by the
secretary, while passing round the paper,
that considerable tittering prevailed among
the ladies, who took the precaution to read
the paper, while those who did not read it,
and desired to sign, did SO. After going
through the congregation, the secretary,
on his way back, looked at the paper to
see what was the cause of the merriment,
when it revealed to him that instead of the
temperance pledge, he had passed around
and received document setting forth the
pedigree of q celebrated horse -.
This demonstrates fact recently estab-
lished in McGregor, that men do not al
ways "sign paper they only put their
names to it !" Ladies it seems do not
place their names to a document without
reading it. Caution in this instance, as in
many others, is the parent Of (female)
safety. Blundcrs by the coarser sex are
easily remedied those Of the finer mould
are generally fatal.

r. R.-Somebody got awful mad at
JoHNsoN's Railway House at P. du Chen,
and gave it a paper notice. We have al
ways found the proprietor and the employ
ees of that house, A. No. L., and we
suspect the fault noticed by travel
ers, is more in their want of apprecia-
ton than it is in the character of the house
or the conduct of its inmates. Individu-
ally, we seldom complain of hotels. Our
home-liying is very plain and it is not our
wish to be toadied and toasted to death at
other houses. We have noticed that those
who have little to eat at home and not very
good beds to sleep on, make more "fuss'
about hotel fare than anybody else.

TIE following 10 tho Addroee Of the
State Central Committee of the Pennsyl-
vania Democracy. 1t is admirable for its
strength and its brevity. We
publish it as suitable for all attitudes and
for all men who sincerely desire the res
toration of the states to equal dignities
and rights under the Constitution of our
fathers.
We shall keep it standing some weeks ::
The issues of the canvass are made up.
The restoration of the Union and the
preservation of your form of government
are the vital questions that now confront
you.
Secession is dead, but Disunion still
lives. Slavery is extinct, but Fanaticism
survives.
The rights of the white man are SUBJ
merged in efforts to elevate the negro, and
the black man is sought to be made con-
trolling element in the policies Of the re-
public.
Capitalization seeks to rear its dcspotic
power upon the ruins of the Constitution,
and foreshadows war of races for its ac-
complishment.
Prescription and disfranchisement usurp
the places of magnanimity and clemency,
and discord and hate combat Christian
charity and national concord.
Congress refuses to nourish the resources
necessary for payment of the debt of the
republic, and loads With taxation the in
dustrial interests of the North. Congress-
ional extravaganza is the rule; economy in
public affairs, the exception.
A Convention of representative men
from each of the United States has met
within the past week; they have forecast
the future, agreed in sentiment and dis
persed to thier homes.
Their work has passed into history. To
the impartial mind that work is a perfect
answer to the charge that the South is not
ready for restoration.
Composed of men of every section, hold
ing every shade of political opinion, they
have Recommended the eternal principles
that lie at the base of our institutions,
have renewed their vows of fealty and
brotherhood, and have joined hands in
united effort to restore the Union and pre-
serve the government created by the Con-
stitution.
No man need err in this contest.
Support Congress, and you sustain dis
union, attack your government, and Gle
vate the negro at the expense of your own
race.
Support the President, and you restore
the Union, preserve your government, and
protect the white man.
On the one side are Stephens, Sumner,
agitation, and disunion.
On the other, the President, the Union,
peace, and order.
BY the order of the Democratic state
committee.

A DREAM THAT SENT Two MEN TO PRrs-
oN.-The following singular circumstances
are vouchsafed for as strictly true by the
Detroit Tribune:
''Some months since, a citizen of Branch
county, in this State, employed two men
to remove his deceased wife's remains,
which they pretended to do, and claimed
as recompense, one three dollars and a
hal, land the other dollar and half. The
gentlemen being we'll pleased with their
execution of the work, gave the latter two
dollars, which he refused, giving back fifty
cents. The following night the gentleman
dreamed that one of the men visited his
room naked, his body covered over with
black spots, and on being asked what allied
him, he replied that the spots indicated tho
lies he had told, and the large one on his
side the lie he had told him in regard to
his disntcrring his wife's remains, which
they had not done. On awaking, his
dream SO impressed him that he was led
to ascertain whether the men had actually
done what he had paid them for doing, and
ascertained that they had not. On his
complaint they were arrested and sent to
the State Prison for one year for obtaining
goods under false pretenses, and are now
serving out their time at Jackson" "a a.

Hon. Fred. Bissell made a radical speech
Monday night at Concert Hall. Wedidn't
hear it, but those who were there tell us it
was a most lamcntable failure. The band
was got out "to draw" crowd, and
Fred proceeded to draw on their credulity
by asserting that it could be proved that
Andy johnson was party to the assassin
alton of Lincoln That some obscure
" cuss" in Canada would swear 10 it, and
that Mrs. Surratt was hung quickly be-
cause it was feared she would tell all about
it! This, with the negro equality argu-
ment, and the revengeful ideas of his par
ty toward the south, made up the speech
of the Hon. L. L. Bissell.
