CONGRESS APPRovED.-One of the strik-
ing results of the late elections is the popular
endorsement given to Congress in its action
in relation to contested seats. Pennsylvania
is notable example of this. In the Twelfth
District the competitor OF Mr.. Dennison
(Democrat) contemplated contestinR his
election on the ground of frauds, but after
ward dropped the matter. But this wear the
Democratic fraudulent voting was so noto-
rlous and extensive, that Mr.. Archibald, the
Union candidate, will contest, and probably
obtain the seat In the Sixteenth District
the contested seat was awarded to General
Koontz, although his rival had obtained the
certificate of election. Now General Koontz
has been reelected by thousand majority.
In the Twenty-first District, Fuller (Demo-
craft was unseated because the soldiers'
say it was right by electing John Coyode by
800 majority. In the Seventh District Of
Indiana, that noisy copperhead, d. w.
voorhees,, claimed to be elected over Gen.
Washburn, but the House, after rejecting his
fraudulent votes, found that he was not.
Gen. Washburn's constituents endorse this
action by returning him by about 600 ma
jority. So it will be seen that in the districts
of all the contested cases, so far as they have
yet been reached, the people have ratified
the course of the last House.
In the other branch of Congress there have
been but six opportunities to pass upon the
election Of Senators-two in Vermont, one
in Pennsylvania, one in Indiana, one in New
Jersey, and one in Oregon. Vermont and
Indiana return Republicans as before, while
Pennsylvania will supersede Mr.. Cowan by
a good Republican, and Oregon does the
same work for Democrat. New Jersey has
elected Republican in the place of Mr..
Stockton (Democrat). In what ever point
OF view, therefore, the matter be looked at,
whether as regards the competition, the ac-
tion or the sentiment of Congress, it will be
seen that the people have decided wholly in
its favor and against the President.-BaNi-

A NEGRO Boy WITH AN INTERESTING HIS
ToRY.-The Boston Christian Register saws
a little boy was baptized on Sunday week,
at the Church in Indiana Place, Boston,
Mass, whose history was interesting. After
Jefferson Davis was taken prisoner Mrs.
Davis sent this little colored boy, (almost
white, however, about seven years old, to
General Saxton, with letter, in which she
told him this story;-She said that in 1861,
passing house IN Richmond, she heard q
child scream, and going in found this child,
whose mother was free colored woman,
who left him at her death in care of others
who ill-treated him. Mrs. Davis said she
took the child home, and they all became
very fond OF him. He shared the fortunes
and misfortunes, and when obliged to fly
from Richmond they took him with them.
She requested Gen. Saxton to treat him well,
which it is not necessary to say he did. But
when Gen. Saxton was removed from the
department, he gave the child TO the care OF
one of the teachers of the Educational Com.
mission, who has brought him North.

THERE Is NO DEATH.

There is no death: The stars 20 down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heavens jewelled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death: The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the Summer shower
10 golden rain or mellow fruit,
Or iainbow-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
10 feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the yiewless air.
There is no death The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death: An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
lie bears our best loved things away,
And then We call them 'dead."
lie leaves our hearts all desolate-
lie plucks our iairest, sweetest flowers:
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose Joyous tones
Made glad the scene of sin and strife,
sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And where he sees a smile too bright
Or hearts too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that undying life,
Ihey leave us but TO come again.
With Joy we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is lile-there is no dead.

A BEE-TAMER.-The following Is a des-
cription OF a bee-charmer who has been ex-
citing great interest at the State fair. al
Saratoga of the greatest attractions
on the ground was a great honey-bee mon
ger, whose hat, while ON his head, was
covered with bees, which appeared like
small swarm on bush. He handled bees as
if they were harmless flies. They crawled
all over his person, in his hair, and on his
face, and he put some of them in his mouth
and blew them out, and handled them al
pleasure. And what was most remarkable
is, they were strange bees, attracted from
the woods or from colonies in the country.
Immense crowds of people hung around him.
continually asking questions and purchasing
the secret of collecting bees from the forest
or robbing their neighbors of their busy
workers by remaining quietly at home.
When every bee was shaken from his hat
and it was returned to his head, the buzzing
swarm about him would quickly return, com,
pletely covering his hat. The superintendent
interiered, as he affirmed that such an exhi.
bition drew away too many people.

New library books are greatly needed

The general condition of the schools is

to be gathered in from the streets, and those

listening to sermon or exhortation by Rev.
Mr.. Baer, but when the invitation was given
he came forward to the altar to confess
Christ. He Joined the church on probation
and was received into full membership only
about three months ago. He was q consistent
member of the church, an earnest, thought
