SAVE Mornrn's TrARs.-Not long ago
two friends were sitting together engaged in
letter writing One was young man from
India The other female friend, part of
whose family reside in that far off land. The
former was writing to his mother in India.
When his letter was finished, the friend
offered to enclose it in hers, to save postage
IF it can be sent separately it will reach her
sooner than If sent through friend, and per.
haps it will save her tear" His friend was
touched with his tender regard for his moth
er's feelings, and felt with him, that it was
worth paying the postage to save his mother
tear
Would that every boy aud girl, every youns
man, and every young woman were equally
saving Of mothers tears.

Execution of Ward.

In a special dispatch to the Daily Journal
we announced on Friday the execution, at the
State prison, of John Ward, alias jerome
Lavignc, for the murder of Mrs Griwold
of Williston, in August, 1865. In that dis
patch Ward was said to have confessed his
guilt upon the scafold. 1t now appears that
the full statement which the criminal made in
prison before the execution is in the hands of
the officers and is withheld by them from

Thn Vice Presidency.

The proper time to make amends for an
act Of injustice is the first opportunity which
occurs. That the National Republican Con-
yention Of 1864 did an act of injustice in
substituting upon its ticket for the name OF
Hannibal Hamlin, that of Andrew johnson,
on account of his supposed availability we
think no one will be inclined to dispute
And now that an opportunity presents itself
where we can right this matter by placing the
names of Grant and Hamliu upon our banners
for the next campaign, we trust it may be
done

CuHIsT is THE GosPEL NARRAuyE.-No
biographer, moralist or artist can be satisfied
with any attempt of his to set forth the beau
ty of holiness which shines from the face of
Jesus of Nazareth 1t is felt to be infinitely
greater than any conception or representation
of it by the mind, the tongue, or the pencil of
man or angel. We might as well attempt to
empty the waters of the boundless sea into a
narrow we'll, or to portray the splendor Of the
rising sun and starry heavens with ink. No
picture of the Saviour, though drawn by the
master hand of Raphael, or Durio, or Rubens
no epic, though conceived by the genius of a
Dante, or Milton, or Klopstoek, can improve
on the artless narrative of the gospels, whose
only but all powerful charm is truth.-Schaf.

attempting to draw his two daughters across
Lake Champlain to Chimney Point, in sleigh,
