BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS.

The same God who moulded the sun
and kindled the stars, watches the flight
of the insect. He who balances the clouds
and hung the earth upon nothing notices
the fall Of the sparrow. He who gives Sa-
turn his rings and placed the moon like
ball of silver in the broad arch OF heaven,
gives the rose leaf a delicate tint, and made
the sun to nourish the violet And the
same Being notices the praises Of the cher
ubim and the prayers OF the little children.
There is but breadth Of air and beating
of the heart betwixt this world and the next.
And in the brief interval of awful suspense,
while we feeIthat death is present with us
that VIC are powerless. and he all powerful
and that the last pulsation here is but the
prelude. of endless life hereafter; we feel
in the midst of the stunning calamity about
to befall us, that earth has no compensa
ting good to mitigate the severity of our
losses. But there is no grief without some
benefcent provision to soften its intense
ness. When the good and the lovely die,
the memory of their good deeds. like the
moonbeams on. the stormy sea, lights up
our darkened hearts and lends to the sur
rounding gloom beauty so sad, so sweet
that We would not, five couid, dispel the
darkness that environs them. -.

s.TREwAR Al FAILURE.n

"71e TOOL h0th said IN his heart, there is
no God" Such is the language of Scrip.
ture. But, suppose we omit the 6rst part
Of the above sentence-which we print In
italies-would we be justified IN asserting
that the Scriptures declare there is no GodS'
Clearly not. It would be clear and dis,
tinct Misrepresentation of the Word of
God 1t would be palpab1e lying. No
one will dispute this; no, not even Mr.
Jordon, Chairman Of the Republican State
Committee.
And yet Mr.. Jordon. 10 bis late address,
has lied just as palpably. In speaking of
the last Democratic National Convention,
he asserts that the Convention declared
"the War failure.' Whereas, the dis
tinct language of that Convention was.
"tor the purpose of restoring the Union, the
war was failure" How can Mr.. Jordon
look an honest man in the face after perpe-
trailing such barefaced falsehood Or how
can any truth-loviEg citizen follow the lead
of man who will thus attempt to cheat by
lying.
Time has proven the perfect correctness
of the Democrats at Chicago. The last Of
fetal declaration of Douglas was, that "war
is disunios." The Democrats repeated the
declaration at Chicago in 1864. Three
years have since passed away. The Union
is still discovered. 1.-THE war still exists"
says Congress. Therefore, the declaration
of the Democrats that 'fer the purpose of
restoring the Union, the war was failure"
was emphaticaly true. .-.. .e

An Old Statesman peaks.

Hon. Thomas Ewing, one of the old,
able and trusted Wing leaders, and after
wards a Republican, has recently written q
letter, defending his son, Gen, Hugh Ew-
ing, from the charge of having stolen any
portion of JEFF. Davis library. He gives
the statement fiat denial, and then after
stating that out of four sons, and two sons
in-law, five of them were in the federal ar
my, and that he himself made war speech
es, closes thus
" This will, | trust, be received as fair
record of family loyalty, so far as the war
is in question but never having sworn al
legiance to Summer, or Thad. Stevens, or
any of their ik, and having opinions Of my
own, as to the constitution and sound pub
lie policy have ventured to differ from
this some particulars, and chiefly in
think there is yet something LETT OF the
old Constitution, and that we ought to try
and save the piece that the South is sufti-
cien,ly crushed and humbled, without put
ting them under military rule, or letting
loose flight of confscation vultures, to
faften on the carcass; and especially | do
not think the President ought to be impeach
ed because he differs in opinion with the
two Houses of Congress and because he
will not hold still while they whip him with
nettIes." a .vr.-
The rejecting, honest and respectable in
the Republican party are fast leaving that
organization. The ultra unconstitutional
and disgusting every man in its ranks who
has a just regard for liberty, peace and fra
ternity. -..- @'nF@

WHIsrLE.-Next to laughing whistling
is one of the most philosophical things in
which fellow of good spirits can indulge.
WhistliLg is popular prescription for
keeping up the courage-it might be said
good spirits. Some genial philosopher
has well said on this subject, that whist
ling is great institution. 1t oils the
wheels CT care, supplies the place of sun,
shine. A man who whistles has a good
heart under his shirt front. Such man not
only works more willingly, but works more
constantly. A vhistling cobler will earn
as much money again as cordwaiuer
who gives way to low spirits and indiges-
ton. Mean or avaricious men never
whistle. The man who attacks whistling
throws a stone at the head Of hilarity, and
would, if he could, rob June of its loses
August Of its meadow larks.

And moodily had listened long

And strike q vigorous blow;
In life's great field of varied oil
Always hoe out your row.
