expelled WHO becomes a bank
rupt? But, on second Thought,
we. are satisfied that the ex-
pulsion of Mr.. JAMES T. PAGE is
to be understood ina Piekwickian
sense That gentleman is made a
kind of advertising scape goat.
With the delinquencies of the entire
Board of Trade heaped upon his
shoulders, he is expected to flee into
the wilderness that the reputation of
the Exchange may be purified. Peo-
pie In other. sections are expected to
learn from the unfortunate Mr.. PAGE
that the merchants of Chicago have
too high sense of mercantile honor,
to tolerate a member who fails to pay
his debts. We expect next to hear
that the proprietor of some grain ele
vator has been elevated for taking
more than he was entitled to. .7A

the JOURNAL is great OF Ettle
things" This is its only response to
the to fact which we called its atten-
ton, viz: That the DEMOCRATS of
Egypt, Illinois. like those of Dubois
County, had gone astray after the
" everlasting niger" and had actually
voted for one for Judge, in opposition
to Republican, g. au
We acknowledge that the style of
argument is not of the highest, or the
most profound, but it is for that very
reason all the better adapted to the
of the Courier. Would that

se SOME. people are merely echoes,
good for nothing except to return the
last word of other people Some are
comfortable and easy, useful as bump

the reckless ones who perpetuaily dart
about, and serving also as air-cushions
for others to lean against. Others are
calculated and angular, bobbing out
sharply in straight lines, and useful
in prodding the ribs of people who
are disposed to stop. and cape, and

The APPROACHING HARVEST
reports from all parts of the land
respecting the growing crops continue
to be of the most cheering character.
Only in Virginia and North Carolina
is there any complaint, heavy rains
having badly damaged the wheat
fields. The accounts from all parts
of Illinois are uniformly favorable,
and the harvest will be abundant if
good weather continues. In Wiscon-
sin the wheat crop looks well, aud
the area sown is thirty per cent.
more than last year. In Missouri the
wheat and oats crop never looked bet
ter, while the breadth covered by.
these crops is, greater than usual. In
New Jersey the grain and fruit crop
promises a bountiful yield. The grain.
crops in South Carolina were never
better, and the breadth sown unusu-
ally large East Tennessee expects
to- raise more wheat this year than
ever before in one Season In Ken
lucky the tobacco crop, is likely to
prove a failure. but wheat looks well.
Mississippi will have great crop Of
corn, and cotton looks splendidly.
Texas is a perfect garden, and the
most encouraging accounts are given
of the young crops.

In commenting on recent remarks
made by Gen. BUTLER on cenfscating
rebel property, and of Senator WADE
advocating division of property all
over the country, and OF Senator
CHANDLER in favor Of Selling Canada
as pay for damages sustained by the
pirate Alaba ma, the Boston Journal
suggests that 'the Republican party
as MAcAULEY5rema ked of the Cath
Ollie Church-knows how to deal with
enthusiasts. 1t urilizesthem by find
ing work somewhere or in some way
for them to do. The Republican
party is equally successful after anoth
er method. 1t hears what it's enthu
siasts have-to say, ntively. dispas-
sionately, and then draws its own dis
tinetion between the wheat-and sthe
chat, without regard to the source
from which they come. Thus tire
presses no light, but gathers it from
all quarters. Whatever proves con-
genial to the policy already established
and meets the public exigency and
accords with the public demand, is
embodied in legislation, and becomes
a part Of the b~..oLa. existence.
Whatever is not thus acceptable. is
merely the dictum of Gen. BUTLER,
Mr.. WADE or Mr.. CHANDLER, as the
case may be, and is entitled to i'm
portance accordingly.

! The Pennsylvania Democrats are
Disguised with the last Congress
They have gone soifar as 4toA embody

lish it to the world. We will wager q

Pennsylvania Democrats are dissatis-
fed with Congress. Most of us know
why Indiana Democratic papers don t
like Congress. They have informed
US over and over again. Congress
passed odious Reconstruction Bills
and High Tariff Laws. 1t did all it
could to enrich the Eastern manufae-
turers at the expense of the Western
farmers. OF course, no free trade-
and sailor's-ri rights = Democrat could
endure any such proceedings. Demo-
cratic principles being unchangable,
like the mountains round about Jeru-
salem, we would naturally conclude
that the Pennsylvania Democrats were
opposed to Congress for the same rea-
son. Not bit of it. They are down
on Congress because it didn't make
the tariff higher. Here is a resolution
adopted at their recent State Conven-
ton:
.Thatthe failure of the Tar If Bill in the
last session of the late Congress, more
than three-fourths Of whose mem bers be

lustration of their infdelity their

hobs of New England, and the unjust
laws enacted by Congress for their
benefit. We commend, therefore. the

The Little Girl that Meets Me.

There's little girl that meets me,
And with laughter ever greets me.
And to kiss her oft entreats me,
As / stray
Long the path of life SO dreary,
Where the saddened heart and weary,
Shades the sunlight, shining near me,
On my way.
She has eyes as blue as heaven
(Oniy aged about eleven,)
But unto her God has given
Such heart,
That forever she is singing
And her sweet voice ever ringing
Beauty o'er the rapt heart bringing,
Sweet as art.
With her sunny hair so curly,
With her teeth so white and pearly,
/ have met her late and early,
By the way,
And I take her hand and press it
In my own, just to caress it
"Pretty little hand-God bless it,"
do say.
May the world smile kindly on her,
Benedictions fall upon her,
Angels be her guard of honor,
As she goes
Through this world of ours singing,
Peace to troubled spirits bringing,
No grief her pure heart wringing
With its woe.
May the sweetest harp in heaven
Brightest crown that ere was given,
Where the waves of life are driven
Past the throne
Echo to her dainty finger,
pom her pure brow ever linger,
While each angel be singer.
Calling home.
