Hannah had bent over her boys as
they lay clasped close to her heart, and
was listening gratefully to Eben Pratt's
words. But she did not notice that he
had risen from his seat, or his quiet
departure when he had finished speak

was alone.
Eben Pratt's words were not in vain.
Hannah White learned lesson which
she never forgot She became more
cheerful and resigned, and was even
surprised to see the change which this
change in herself worked in her house
hold. Her children became brighter
and happier, and her servants worked
brisker and more contentedly. Every
thing wore a different aspect. Fre-

A 4l,acts Record,

Every man who supports the Repub-
lican party must blush with shame as
he reads their record, thus briefly, but
truthfulIy traced by eotemporary;
"The Republican party has existed
but ten years. Itaspired to the control
Of public affairs when The very name OF
a Federal Tax Collector was unknown.
Itihas left a public debt as gigantic
as that which eats the substance and
improverishes the condition Of toilers
of other countries. Up to the time it
came into power the liberty Of the peo-
pie was held to be aeacred thing. 1t
struck down habeas corpus it denied
trial by jury; il prohibited free discus
sion; it filled our bastiles with pris-
oners, arrested without warrant and
imprisoned without trial In word it
established precedents for the exercise
of every right claimed by despOtic gov
ernments."

nrn Some Of our Democrat

sA.Some of our Democratic cotem-
poraries are publishing a Thanksgiving
sermon delivered by Rev. John Cham
bers, Of Philadelphia, in which he
adopts and breaches the Democratic
view of politics. With due respect to
Mr. c., whom we warmly esteem as a
man and minister, we must frankly say
that we can no more endose his course
in preaching Democratic harangue
than if it had been an Abolition one.4-
We insist upon it that the pulpit is no
place for politics Of any sort--that no
other voice than that Of Christian char
ityshould be heard from within its sa-
cred limits-and we will sustain no man,
be he friend or foe, who prostitutes his
holy calling to the malignant purposes
of partzanship, There is time and
place for all things--the bar for legal
disputes, the hustings for politics, the
studio for art, and the church for re-
lgion.--Erie Observer

Hannah White was woman Of unu-
sual strength of character She had
been reared carefully by kind and judi
cious parents, who had given as much
thought to her mental and moral, as to
her physical training. Her feelings
we're deep and strong, and when she
loved, or disliked, twas with her whole
soul though to her credit, be it said,
she rarely thought unkindly of any one.
At the age Of twenty, she married a
good and worthy man, and her affection
for him strengthened as the time passed
on. Mr.. White made her a kind good
husband and in course Of time she be-
CAME the mother of two fine children. -
Ten years after her marriage. she was
left widow. At first her'grief was
fearful to witness, but soon it settled
down into an unbroken gloom. She

SONG OF THE FREEDMAN.

A freedman sat on pile of bricks,
As the rain was pattering down;
His shoes we're worn and his coat was torn
And his hat was without crown.
He viewed the clouds and he viewed himself,
And he shook the wet from his head,
And a tear dimmed his eye as he saw 90 by

the choice of our nominee has met with

volumes IN quarto. containing the corrected
sheets from which the first edition of the work
was struck at Stuttgardt. Humboldt emoloyed
rough notes. He read, corrected, and enlarged
the text 80 that each sheet is literally covered
by the cramped writing of Humboldt, which in
many places is so illegible that III. Buschmann
was compelled to copy the whole for the printers
use. M. Buschmann carefully preserved the
originals of each copied page, and thus pos
sessed the hye manuscript volumes.

1HE NEW DICTIONARY OF CONGRESS-
We are glad to perceive that the United
States Senate has adopted resolution order
ing the printing Of new edition Of the
Dictionary of Congress" The last appeared
in 1868, since which time great changes
have occurred in the lives OF many of our
public men. The overthrow of the Rebellion,
the fate of its leaders, and the records of those
who are now aspiring to seats as Represen-
tatives of the rebelhous States, all combine
to make a succinct history Of their lives
matters OF interest. The addition to the list
of public men of many who, for aught we
know, may be the guides to the future, or the
destruction Of our land, makes it not only
lroper, but causes the publication from time
10 time of revised record to be a matter of
necessity. We have also a selfish reason in
its favor, 1t was remarked by one OF the
Senators thimself newspaper mani, that the
work had heretofore been an indispensable
book of reference in all the leading editorial
sanctums of the country; and that, whenever
any of our public men happened to die, this
book was at once referred to for the leading
particulars OF their lives. 1t has grown to be
a work of daily reference; for there are but
few leaders of the people who have not at
some time in their, lives held seats as mem
bers either OF the Upper or Lower House.
We are therefore glad to see the action of the
Senate, and hope that it will be made as full
and as thorough as the space and appropria-
ton win allow. Ifall public money expended
on documents were spent in producing works
as valuable as the Dictionary" there would
be no cause for comp laint because of waste
