VIII Mothers know their children il
= - = -. Heaven z. - -. -

q In late number of the New York
Ledger, Henry Ward Beecher thus speaks
upon this. subject ~. ..l. ..; -.
But shall we recognize each other in
Heaven? This precise question is nei-
ther put nor answered in the Sacred
Scriptures. But, beyond all dispute, it
is implied, assumed as the very necessity
of moral state, that the principle OF
memory will exist that the suferings,
temptations, triumphs of men over evil !;
that the divine helpfulness and fidelity
displayed during the whole of mems
earthly lives, will be an occasion of
Thanksgiving and praise. Now, if MEM
ory survives, why should its action be
limited to one class of experiences p
Why, if we remember earthly sufferings,
should we not remember those who sooth-
ed in sympathized in item Ii we re-
member adult friends, why should we
forget little children, which take hold
upon. the heart with grasp even frmer
than any grown person There is no
authority for supposi:ions which parcel
out the memory and limit its free activity.
1t may be safely said to all that great
company of mourners, whose children
have gone away from them, God has ia
ken yoaa' babes /! They are safe. They
did not venture out into some great void,
some vague and unexplored way, where
the, little wanderers were left to find
heir-own way if there be use for an
gels, sure there is, none more fit, and
beautiful than to bear in their bosoms,
and convey to the presence of the AH-
lOoing, the tenderspirits ofslittle children.
Nor do we need to doubt that there is
in, the Fathers house place for them.

ness, and gladness, innocence. and friend

on earth. ii ma, .r... ...-5;. ~. -
Our children are cared for. He that
was grieved when little children were
kept from him, who took them up in his
arms, laid his hands upon them, and
blessed them-is he any IS lover of
children in Heaven than upon earth. ,-
But shall we know them !? Why not !?
Where is there an intination in Scrip
ture to this effect? 1t is not positively
affirmed bnt it is implied that men,
dropping at death all that is OF the flesh,
will rise into the Communion. of Heav-
Ell, carrying the same affections, senti-
ments, viii and intelligence, that they
had on earth. Otherwise, of what use
are discipline, education, earthly expert,
ence? 1t is the saint made. perfect, not
made up of anew pattern, that we shall
meet in glorgNJI 9}GUtsWs&
Let no mother, be driven from the hope
of meeting her child in Heaven! Let
mothers comfort themselves in believing
that the loves of earth will go on in Heav-
en- and that whatever was pure, noble
and true on earth will go on with them
forever. Among all other griefs, let not
this unnecessary one arise, that you have
lost your children forever He who
keeps you from them will keep them for
you They will be more beautiful, sweet
er, more glorious in preeiousness. They
will be enough tie same to make you
glad for all the growths, additions, and
refinernents of their charms. iE 7H =

A Paris letter tells the following sto-
ry of a Twelfth Night Fete in that city !;
"A wealthy family in the aristocratic
boulevard Malesherbes, were amusing
themselves in seeking the kings portion,
or .tlie ring in the festival cake, when a
lady of The company says to the hostess,
81 wish my portion to be given to the
poorest little boy We can find i'll the
street" The servant was dispatched on
this freezing night, and not far from the
house he found ragged urchin, tremb-
ling with cold and hunger. He brought
him up, as ordered, into tho gay saloon,
where thousand lights glittered, and a
sparkling fire gladdened the eyes of the
poor little fellow. Dumbfounded and
surprised, he drew the portion which the
benevolent lady had promised, and, as
luck would have it, the little fellow found
the "ring," (beans they use in Paris in
stead and of course he was skiing. !"
They all shouted out that being king
he must choose a queen. He was asked
so to do, and looking round the eompa-
ny he chose the very lady who had pro
posed to cede her portion of the cake.
He was asked why he chose her. He
said, 81 don't know! she looks the most
like mother p ''Motherl whose mother?"
'tAIy mother l never knew her, but
was stolen away from her, and here is
her portrait !'' With this he drew from
out his ragged coat a likeness which
proved to be that of the very lady her
self, who, in Italy, had had her child
stolen from her, and now he turns mp
poor little ragged Savoyard, dragging
along a. miserable existence in Paris,
while his mother, by an intuition, per-
haps, felt that in the air near to where
she was, was one so dear to her. -s

After The Funeral,

OF all the returnings, that one "after
the funeralo is the saddest. Who will say
it is not so, who has followed a beloved
one to the grave? While he was sick
we, went in and out, anxious, sorrowing,
suffering. The solicitude to relieve, and
care for, and comfort him, engrossed us !;
the apprehension of our own dissolution,
il case he should be removed from us, al
most drove us wild. -. - s..-.
While he lay dead under the home
roof, there was hurry and bastle in pre-
paration for the final rites, Friends are
sent for, neighbhrs are present, the fune-
raj arrangements are discussed, the
mourning procured, tile hospitalities of
the house provided for all is excitement;
the loss is not yet perceived in all its
greatness, ~. .-.'..,.... Id. t.., o-.,,..
But safter the funeral,'' after the hustle
has, subsidized and things begin to move
on as usual, then it is we begin to know
what has befallen us. The house seems
stiH and sepulchral though in the heart
of the cityf;r and though its threshold be
trodden by friendly feet, it is as if emp
ty. The apartments how deserted! es-
pecially the room where he struggled
and surrended in the last conflict. There
are, his clothes, there are his books, there
his hat and cane, there his eYer-yaeant
seat at the family head, During his sick
ness we had not so much noticed these
things for we hoped ever that he might
use or occupy them. But now we know
it can never be, and we preceiye the dread
full vacuity everywhere.
oh how dark and cherries the night
shadows come down after the funeral.
No moon or stars ever shone so dimly /;
no darkness ever seemed SO utterly dark.
The tickings of the clock resOund like
bell strokes all over the house. No foot
steps now on the stairs or overhead in
the sick chamber; no nurse and watch
ers to come and say, che is not SO well
and asks for you" No, indeed, YOU may
sleep on now and take your rest, if you
can. All, poor heart! 1t will be long
before The sweet rest you once knew will
revisit your couch. Slumber will bring
again the scenes through which you have
passed, and you will start from it but to
find them all too real. God pity the

EMIGRATION OF WOMEN TO THE PA
CIFIC CoAsT-The San Francisco Com
merciaI Bulletin of late date says:
For mouth past every steamer from
the East has brought au unusually large
number of women Over one third OF
the cabin passengers have been of the
female gender. The matrimonial mar
ket of the Pacific coast, although not in
the line of our legitimate remarks, is be-
coming quite an object of attention, at
the East. The war consumed over S0O,-
OG0 men, and in some States the excess
of women over the sternor sex is almost
seven or eight to one. The Pacific Ter
ritories and States contain nearly thirty
times more men than women; and, if
the right sort of the latter seek this mar
ket in a quiet way, the probabilities are
greatly in favor of changing their names
soon after their arrival. This would re-
suit in building up thousands of home
steads, rendering onr population more
stable and moral, increasing respect and
obedience to onr resources, stiffening the
market generally, aud bettering our con
dition in all respects. -, ,...,..-...

Ellenboro Bridge Money.

Nh. Cover Il wish to correct the
statement of Mr.. Samuel Barstow
concerning our taxes raised for build
ing bridges across Platte River at
our last annual town meeting, held
Tuesday, April eth, 1868. He states
that at that meeting we raised $1,000
by an Illegal vote. l deny its being
an illegal vote; it il true the vote
was not taken by ballot. Two of the
Supervisors placed themselves about
four feet apart and the legal voters
passed between them and were count.
ed those that were in favor of the
tax were counted and those that
were opposed also There was ma
jority of the legal voters in favor of
the tax. Mr. B. says $500 had been
paid in the PREVIOUS year which is
now in the Treasury TO build bridge
on Platte river at Boy DIS or the Hyde
farm that is not true it is true
there is $500 in the Treasury that
was voted the previous year to build
bridge across Platte river. 1t was
lett TO the Town Board of Supervis-
ors TO select point on Platte river to
build it; TIE Board meandered the
Platte up and down and could not
agree on any point where the bridge
should be situated the bridge that
MIR. b. speaks of to be built on Platte
river one mile above the village of
Ellenboro, is on the main travelled
road leading from Potosi to Black
Jack, and nearer the center of the
town of Ellenboro than any other
bridge in the town, and is OF more
benefit 20 the town Of Ellen boro than
any other bridge in the town. I am
creditably informed that Mr.. B. got
up the petition and had it circulated
by others; he promised Mr.. Boyd
and others the $500 now in the Treas
ury to build their bridge if they
would help vote down their 1000
tax. Neither OF the proposed hridg-
es may be Of much use to Mr.. Bar
stow, personally, but if he be IN ia
vor ofpublic improvement, as he has
said, be ought not 10 oppose that
which would benefit the town at
large.

Horrible Mnrder-A Young Lady.
Throat Cut by Rejected Lover.

The quiet town of Glen Haven was
on the night of the 18th inst. the
scene of ono of the most horrible and
fiendish murders ever chronicled in
the annals of crime. The facts, as far
as we have learned by report, are as
! follows:
A young man named VIM. Kidd
who resides in Glen Haven had long
been paying his addresses to Miss
Katherine Jordon of same town; for
some reason she had steadily reject
ed his attentions, and the disappoint-
ed lover threatened her life If she
did not marry him. Matters were
at this stand for several months when
Kidd sought TO carry into execution
the frequent threat, On Monday
evening with livery team from
CassviIe he called at the house of Mr..
SAM Mclver for Miss Jordan( " here
she was tbon living some distance
from her home) and requested her to
ride with him she refused, but he
persuading finally induced, or rather
it is understood. forced her into the
buggy.
As traced afterwards i; seems Kidd
drove IN out-0f-the way roads
ard across fields until about ten o.
clock at night. The iteless body Of
the unfortunate lady was found next
morning near the farm OF Mr.. Mark
Scott in Glen Haven; her thr oat
frighttully gashed, was cut from ear
to ear her hands and arms bruised
and cut, showing the poor woman
had struggled hard against her fate
After committing the horrible deed
it seems that Kidd drove to his faith
er's stable and hitching his team, sad
died a horse OF his own and rode on
to BoscobeI there leaving his horse
he crossed the river and left for parts
unknown.
Kidd and Miss Jordan were brought
up togetherin the same neighborhood
The parents Of each arc farmers and
people of the highest responsibility
and are deeply grieved over this great
calamity. He has been paying his
addresses to her for couple of ears,
but has always been coldly received.
There are reports Of another lover to
whom she was much more attached
than To Kidd. and it is not at all i'm
probable that jealousy a. well as 9TH
er ungovernable passions may have
had much to do with his fendish
crime
If such be the revised masculine
practice Of choosing aud securing q
wife, the killing Of those refusing, il
will surely work revolution in the
matrimonial market. The women will
be afraid to speak to any young men
except such as would be acceptable
lest there be popping OF the quos~
ton, refusal and a murder. The
affair wears serious face upon it,
look what way we may.

RESTORING RANCID BUTTER. When
butter gets rancid, or what is term
ed spoiled, it may be restored to an
estable condition by suitable manip-
ulation and the APPLICATION of clesns>
ing material. The process of restor-
alton is briefly this : ITO a pint of
water add thirty drops (sbout half o
teaspoonful) of liquor of chloride of
lime. Wash in this two and half
pounds of rancid butter. When every
particle of rancid butter has come
in contact with the water, let it
stand on hour or two then wash
the butter in pure water. The but
ter is then LETT without any order,
and has the sweetness of fresh but
ter. These preparations OF lime
have nothing Injurious about them
whatever"
No. Strychnine is never used in
manufacturing whiskey. We ven>
ture to make this reply, IS we have
never detected it in the worst speei-
mems of whiskcy, and have never
found chemist who was willing to
state il had been discovered. A
popular idea prevails that it is cons
mon in bad whiskey but it is 3
mistake. The wretched effects upon
the SYSTEM Of had liquors are due
to poisons other than strychnine.
