We have little picture box in our sanctum.
1t is six years since we began filling it with the
beautiful little pictures Which are SO lovely to
look upon. We are fill e 1t with pictures for q
leading member of the Republican party-no,
John Brown or any other martyr, but for the
sinister chap who has all such burning lights Of
radicalism in his warm keeping. Ifyou want to
look in and see the happy family Photograph
Box, sit down here beside us. Oh there are
several of you in the party who would see y
Well, stand little back-the pictures are so dis
tinct they can easily be seen-give US room to
point, and then look.
Here is Church. A Meeting House. A house
of God, so called. Quiet, pretty, attractive
Those birds fitting about are not swallows, but
blackbirds with red wings. The spire points
heavcnward. hThe man in black broadcoth and
white choker is the man of God-the pure,
peace preaching, mild, Christianity teaching
agent of the Most High, ordained by prayer and
purified by baptism to save the sonls Of US poor
sinners. He is good man, recruits for Heaven,
and reports directly to his Commanding General.
All those men and women following him into
the House of God are lambs of his fold-loving
Christians, purified from wiskedness, forgivn OF
sin, and believers on Him who breaches peace on
earth and good will to all men.
! But that minister is liar. He is an agent OF
the jaiior of John Brown and some other mar
tyred prisoner. He breaches hate. His lambs,
his Christian lambs, tumble their hymn books,
callous their knee pans, roll their eyes skywards,
shout "Amen ~ and wad their Christian guns
with blood bones and goods stolen from their
victims. How they reconcile their religion with
their politics none but Republican can tell
Here is picture of gentleman in shoulder
straps. He was lover of the late lamentcd -
He is one of the saviors of his country. He is
sandwiched between loafng saloon and pile
of stolen goods, but many of you might not no.
tice all, SO beautiful does he look His best hold
is in not resembling any of the patriotic Generals
Of the Revolution. That suit of blue and those
straps are the price of the man. The horse he is
en- was stolen from his erring brothers The
boxes piled up around him are filled with plate,
spoons, jewelry, mementoss, ETC., etc., found in
the homes of his bre thren. He votes the .Rcpub-
ican ticket, and clothes his wife in stolen silks,
while her daughter entertains her company with
music from stolen piano. But they are all
loyal.
Here is a picture of soldiers in uniform
While the commanding general is drunk, they
are tearing silks from women, damoads from
female fingers, prying open drawers with their
bayonets, and Insulting the defenceless victims Of

| Here is q widow in black-her husband slain
in the crusade for nilgers and cotton.
Here is an orphan, toiling on farm to pay in
terest money to the painpered, projected bond
holder who is able to work, but protected in his
lsziness by Il Radical Congress, in obedience 10
the dictum of New England.
Here is view of a Southern plantation, in two
parts. The first view shows happy negro SER
vantage, dancing on the lawn, at work in the
cotton field, driving to market with the crops
The next is view of monumental chimneys,
desolate yards, uncared for negroes, dead, or dy-
ing in the blessings of freedmen. Strictly Re

ing at his saw-buck, while nigger is in idleness
close by, admiring the new bureau just given
him by Government, which the white man is
working to pay for.
And here is a gang of thieves, with Butler the
Beast, Banks the cotton robber, and others OF
that class, in line waiting for posterity to pass
sentence upon them. A sort of purgatorial pot
pie made from rotten Democrats seasoned with
dishonesty, sandwiched between Abolition fools,
and coverad with crust Of dead niggcrs. This
is loyal picture.
And here is a map of the country, and Con.
gress trying to keep half of it out of sight.
And here is beautiful hospital scene. Those
full boxes contain jellies, fruits, preserves and
all such articles, carefully prepared by the loved
ones at home for the use of the sick and wounded
soldiers, half sacrificed on the negro altar o.

those delicaces, and Juggling them away to pri-

Here is picture of PALE haggar1, bleached
skeleton, just released after years confinement
in military fort, ignorant of the offense he had
committed, released without trial, for tria
would have but proved his innocence.
We have lots of these pictures in that little
box, but here is enough for to-day. Show then
to the Republicaus-they will recognize then
very readily.-[La Crosse Democrat.
Down ON TIIM.-0n one occasion Lorenzo Dow
while preaching took the liberty of denouncing
a rich man in the community recently deceased
The result was an arrest, trial for SANDER, and
imprisonment in the county Jail. After Lorenzo
got out of his 'limbo," he ann ounceed that, ia
spite of this Tin my opinion) unjust punishment
lie should preach at given time a sermon about
"another rich man." The populacc was greatly
excited, and a crowded audiance greeted his
appearance. With great solemnity he opened
