Tsn WAY TO SEEK sALyATIoY.

No sinner can seek eternal life Alright, none
viii seek in earnest, whose soul is not perva-
ded with the conviction ofhis need OF a change
which must be wrought by the power of the
Holy Ghost. The soul must again stand face
to faca with God, as 10 the hour of its creation.
This convection ciunot legtimately lead to
helpless inactivity II cannot tempt to impsn-
iten. delay of duty. The sense OF moral help
lesIness is never to be sought as an end it is
to be used as means. Its proper drift is to
deepen more profoundly the sense of guilt, un

Him who only can redeem
III tnen, is the conviction which the pull .
pit should impress upon an unregenerate sim
ner. he shoald be taught TO feel that he is 80
overloaded by his own sins, he is so obstinate
in his own perverseness, he is SO Prostrate in
the helpessness of his own guilt and in the
guilt OF his own helpessness, that nothing bu
almighty grace will save him. This is the meas
ure of his guilt-that he needs omupotence tC

meets the facts Of a sinners condition. He ia
thus in the hands of God. He is thus depend

made thus dependent by his own willfulness in
sin; by nothing else. This is dependence in
supreme degres. L. Is ultimate as no other de-
pendeBce can be.
The question of q sinners salvation, therefsr re

LITTLE NAPET.

Little Napet, au African boy heard OF Jesus

The fire spread so quickly that Napet was sur
rounded by FIRE in moment.
Some women in the next field, seeing the
fire ran to his help. They could not see him,
only from the burning hat his voice was heard
saying:
80, my Savior, mnst die | pray thee let
my body only be burned, and save my soul
from everlasting fire. Take me to thy heaven
for thy mercy's sake"
Napets voice was heard no longer, The fire
burned on. The women stood trsmb ling at tn e
tate OF the burning child. Very soon, however,
the hut was burned to ashes. They were about
looking for the boys bones, when to their sur
PRISE Napet rose up and rushed into their midst

men.
"After my prayer" said Napet, "God pat IL

Mn. EDrToR Once more take up my re-
llnquished pen 10 add another trophy to the
already well discussed lection question. In
Subscribers last correspondence which appear
ed recently he informs US that he did not de-
sire information in regard to the school fund
that he merely mentioned it as supposition.-
Be it 80 then. But we question whether he
even supposed he would get information to
the said effect; and az tor giving an unsolici-
ted answer, thought Conservative and Sub
scriber's knowledge so similar that 1t was un
likely ore could convey to the other any new
ideas OIL the subject But must confess they
differ little in words. One tells us that the
election was hurried; the other that the polls
are yet epen. II the latter be true we wonder
there has not been votss enough polled since
the memorable 7th Of April to veto the ill
managed proceedings of that day. AS the
election was improperly managed to use Sub
scriber's own words why we're not the officers
in charge reminded of their neglect before 1t
was too late to rectify it2
Not having referred to the commissioners in
my former correspondence, it would be pre-
sumptious to do so nov, as we'll as against my
inclination to enter into any discussion con.
corning them,
That all may lay their strife and iollies by
and acceds to the proposal of Sublcriber is
the earnest desire of REVIEW.

KTlpor tdnt 10 those -d6Ri Ricted Nth .9ching Teeth
There is nothing which people dread more than
pain, and there is no pain more exerutiating
than that of extracting tooth. Now this
pain can all be obviated by taking the Nitrous
Oxide or Laughing Gas, which is admitted by
all the Denta and Medical Journals to ee the
best anesthatic for tooth drawing best be-
cause enough can be given to produce entire
insensibility without danger; best, because it
is so pleasant to breathe, producing no sick
ness or disa greeable Seneatiens, and leaving
the system entirely in two or three minutes
best because il will succ'ed with patients on
wnom chlor oform and ether have been tried in

THE RECORD OF THE "DEMoCRATICh
PARTY.

We never read one of the numerous COM
plants which appear in the so called Demo-
| cratic newspapers about the burthen Of our
public debt and the consequent heavy taxa
tit !, without being reminded of the fact that
the Democratic party is responsible for the re-
bellion and whatever evils followed in its
track. Every dollar af our national debt was
expended in suppressing the rebellion inau-
eurated by the Southern Democrats, and con-
nived at and sympathized with by their North
ern allies of the same party. This accounts
for their desire to repudiats this debt, interest
and principal, and at the same time explains
the secret OF their constant complaist about
heavy taxation. A Western orator tells the
truth, in his own way, in the following ex-
tract;
Let Democratic journals and orators howl
over the debt and taxes their war has brought.
They but magnify their own sins. Every dol
lar of debt is a Democratic legacy. Every tax
is Democratic gift. Every Cove rnment
stamp is a Democratic sticking plaster. Byery
person in the United States drinks in Demo-
cracy in his tea, his coffee and his whisky, and
in the sugar wherewith he sweetens them
Each ingredient pays a quota for the cost of
Democracy to the country. The smoker in
hsles Democracy. The sick man is physicked
with Democracy. The laboring man gives
about one hours labor every day to pay for
democracy. Inc Capitalist pays one-tenth of
bis income for the cost of the Democratic par
ty. Every transfer of property is saddlsd
with the Democratic burden. Before he is
begotten the child is subject to the Democratic
tax. From the cradle to the grave be never is
free from it. The funeral mourning must first
pay the penalty OF Democratic rule, and por-
tion of that which he leaves behind must go
into the Democratic vortex. Generation after
generation will carry this Democratic burden,
from birth to death. But for the Democratic
party our people would hardly have known
the nature OF taxation. But for the Democrat
ic party the hundreds of thousands of young
men whose bones are strewn over the South
would now be productive laborers aud the
support and comfort of families now desola,c.
No one can attempt to deny this Indictment
No one Can pretend that the Democratic party
had any cause for rebellion. Yet it has the
efrontery to cry over the burdens OF taxation.
As the father OF the Democratic party, when
be had stripped Job Of family and possessions
charged it to his own sins, and sought to draw
him from his integrity, so his Democrat sons
come forward now with equal effrontery and
charge their doings upon the loyal people and
hypocriticaly howl over their Affections, and
seek to seduce them from their integrity, to
elect to power the party who brought all these
woes upon the land.

Three Persons Butchered We have received
the particu ars of terrible tragedy tina, bas
been ensc ed near Rosstown, York County, Pa.
resulting in the murder OF three PERSONS
The following sccoult we take frem the H4r-
risburg Telegraph:
George Squibb was farmer ia easy cir
cumstauces, residing in Warrington townsh ip,
York county, Pa, aud whose family consist,
ed of hlm1eif, his wife and a grand daughter,
OF about IA years OF age. 1t was supposed
Mr.. s. who was about 10 years of age, had
considerable money in his possession, and it
seems that some mend in nuuNu phaPs datar-
mined to secure this filthy lucre, even at the
sacrifice of several lives. On Sunday night
| the monster visited the house of Mr.. Squibb,
| and there murdered the whole family. The
| terrible affair was not discovered uutil Mon
| dav morning, when the neighbors found Mr..
| y. lying on the porch of his house, hl1 body
| bearing the marks OF no less than fourteen
| cuts that had been made thereon with a kuife
| ia the hands of the murderer. The old mans
| life was not extinct, but he was insensible,
and lived only until evening. Inside of the
house was The form OF Mrs. Squibb horribly
beaten and cut She too, was senseless, and
| there Is not the least hope entertained of her
recovery, while it 10 very probable that the
| vital spark has fled ere this reaches the eye OF
the reader. Near by lay the body of the grand
| daughter, cold iu death 1t was also stabbed,
beaten, and bruised From the fact that all
the victims we're found dives,ei of their shoes,
it is believed the murder was committed when
they were preparing to retire, which, accord
ing to their usual custom, must have been Mt
an early hour in the evening. Upon search
of the premises being made, about $3.50 in
money was found, which the murderer failed
to lay his hands upon, bnt married daughter
who lives in the vicinity, states that it was
supposed Mr.. Squibb had 800 or $500 in HE
possession, and 1t is probable that the robbsr
obtained $3.50 or S4Oo-a small recompense
for his guilt as an assassin.
