Death of Ex-President James
Buchanan,
T.. f. BINGHAM,

Tx President James Buchanan died Nor
day, June lst, at his resi- 1ence in Wheat
land, near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. 1t was
not unexpected, as he has been failing
health for some time. He was born in 1871,
and was, thersfore, seventy-seyen years OF
age. lie was elected to the House of Con
gress 1850, and served with great dis
tincton tor ten years in that body. He
was appointed by President Andrew Jack
ron Minister to Russia. He was aftcrward
United States Senator from 1887 to 1915 -
la that year be was appointed Secretary of
State by President James K. Polk. In
1852 he was selected by President Pierce
Minister ofGrcat Britain. In 1856 be was
elected President of the United States. He
lad thus filled the very highest offices in
the eountry--and filed them, too, with in
tegrity and eminent ability.
His administration has been fercely as
sailed for the policy it pursued relative to
the secession of the South, but posterity will
do it justice, and relieve him in a great de-
gree from the Gdum which partisan malice
has cast upon him. That he was true
pahiot devoted to the welfare Of. the coun>
Try, there can be no doubt. In the emiD-
ence Of his talents, in the extent cf his ex-
i,crience, in his fine requirements and class
icslaccomplishments, be contrasts most fa-
vorably with his predecc ssors in the Presi-
dental chair. He is almost the last Of the
old-school statesman almost the last Of
our public men who had any acquaintance
with the founders and early administration
Of our government. As such, we do not
chronical his decease without sincere regret.
We give below the PARTICULARS of it:

The New England Anti-slavery Society
has lately held its annual convention in
Boston. The irr pressible Wendell Phillips
was present and offered series of resolu-
tions, from which We make the following
extracts:
"Peaofre1, That in the nomination Of
Grant and Cola we recognize a weak yield

ing before hous which exist only in the
fancy and fears Of the fugitives, unless the
d,y rot Of Rossism, Trumbullism and Fes-

mach further than its champions will al

Chase and his seven conSplrators nominal.
ed the Vice President Of the Republican
| ticket.
"Reso1ua7, That we deprccato and de
nounce the action of the Republican part,
at the Chicago Convention in relation tC
suffrage for the blacks as in bad taste, ant
as practical surrender Of the whole Ques
ton as Radical sue.
"Rcsolred, That in the second resolution
of the Chicago platform we see a plc3g(
which will mean much if the Democratic
par shall attempt to run a race with thei
rivals on that line, but will mean little ol
nothing in any other event, unless the loya
masses bayonet the party to its duty, a.
they always have done heretofore in every
case where that duty has been met.
"Resolred, That in the name Of justice
to the loyal whites and to the blacks OF the
Soutb-in the name of national honor ant
of terrible neeessity-we protest against th'
admission Of one rebel State uutil the Ma
tional Constitution is amended and made tt

its education in the same measure that tht
white race enjoys.

Chicago nominations are being raiiie4

GraDt'S letter OF acceptance.
Mr.. Grant, in his letter of acceptance,
says:
In times like the present, it is impossi-
BILE, or, at least, emiEentiy improper to lay
down a policy to be adhered to, right or
wrong, through an administration Of four
years. New political issues, not foreseen,
are constantly arising, and the views OF the
public ON the old ones lre constantly chang
ing, and purely administrative officer
should be always left to execute the will oi
the people.
The above is execrable. 1t is the senti'
ment OF man who has no principle-1C
idea of right OF wrong. He thinks what is
wrong to-cay might be right tomorrow
and declines to pledge himself accordingly
If the American people elect this man Pres
ident they indorse this position. 1t is th'
sentiment Of woUld-be despot. Genera
Grant has no antecedants, Of a poEtica
character to recommend him to any class O
citizens. Yet he tells them that he vii
make no pledges, but will be governed b.
circumstances entirely, as they arise. Ii
other words, he will inaugurate an admin
istration that will bo imperial in its charac
ter. ..s
Our country has degeuerated wonderful
ly, if the people will elect man with thes
declarations upon his lips to the highest oi
fee in their gift-declarations which Writ
ally, in advance, make him independent c
them, and convert the Government into
one>man despotis,n. The amount Of it
simply this: General Grant says, II will d
exactly as [ please, according to circun
stances as they may rise. " What tas h
done that he should be intrusted with tn
vast discretion? Who tFat has any certain
defined principles Republican or Dem'
cratc-good for all time, should vote II
him? IT, after these, declarations, tt
Radicals are disappointed, as they wei
with An 1rew johnson, can they say thu
they were deceived? Can they sPy TIL
they did not vote with their eyes open, ar
with the declaration before them that the
candidate would d just as he pleased, a
corling to the lights before him as th'
arose?

The richest proposition in the House was
one authorizing the Secretary of War to
employ Massrs. Bingham and Butler to
prosecute Mr.. Davis. 1t is understood to
he in direct way, compensating this pair
for their labor in endeayoring to convict the
President
Mr.. Butler thinks that as bingham sue

should have chance at Davis.

declaring Butler oratory to be mora cffcc-

SECURE THE LEAvEs.-The wood

SECURE THE LEAvEs-The woods
are now full of leaves, Indeed they
appear to be more abundant than
ever, but farmers do not value them
as highly as we think they should.
For bsrnyards especially they are
profitable to haul in. They are OBJ
tainable, too, when there is little
pressing work on hand. Gathered
up in heaps they can be readily load
! ed in carts and wagons with close
shclvings, by using either a cloth

with q wooden rake and the ARM
Hogs are very fond of them for litter,
so are COWS; and for compost they
are excellent. AS oat straw is now
usually fed to cattle, and rye straw
commands high price in the mar
ket, there is nothing left for the pur-
pose of littering except wheat straw.
Hence forest leaves should be held
in higher estimation than they com
monty are. It's good rule TO gath

and can be loaded more readily, and
larger quantities can bo got On the

Let ise Man ask for Leisure.

The most fallacious ideas prevail
respecting leisure. People are al
, ways saying to themselves: " would
do that if i had leisure"
Now there is no condition in which
the chance OF doing good is less than
ia tie condition OF leisure.
The man fully employed may be
atse 30 crafty his good disposition
by 6uYroying himself or his neigh
bors, Or serving the public in some
useful way 4; but the man who has all
fine time to dispose OF as he pleases,
has but poor chance indeed OF do
| ING SO. To do, increases the capaci-
ty OF doing and it is far less difficult
! for q man who is in ,habitual course
OF exerhon, TO exert .hisISelf little
more for an extra purpose, than for
tie msn who does little or nothing
To- put himself into motion for the
SAME enc. There is reluctance in
aiE this TO be set going but when
that is got over, then everything
goes s,yeetly enough.
just so with the idle man. In los
ing the ha bit, he loses the power Of
doing. Bnt man who is busy about
some regular employment for prop
er length OF time every day, con very
easily do somel hing else during the
remaining hours indeed the recrea-
ton OF weary men is apt to be buster
than the perpetual leisure of the idle.
rs nc walks through the world his
hands hang unmuliled and ready by
his side, and he can sometimes do
more by n single touch in passing
than a vacant man is likely TO do in
twelve months.
Let no man cry for leisure in order
to do anything. Let him rather pray
that he may never have leisure. If
he really wishes to do any good thing
ne will always find time for it, by
properly arranging his other employ
mont.

The Loss of a Wife.

In comparison with the loss of q
wife all other bereavments are tri.
fling. The wife she who fills SO
large 6 space in the domestic heaven;
she who bEsias herself so unwearied-
ly for the precious ones around her;
bitter is the tear that falls on her
cold clay! You stand beside her
coffin and think Of the past. 1t seems
az amber colored pathway, where the
sun shone upon beautiful flowers, or
the stars hung glittering overhead.
Fain would the soul linger there
No thorns are remembered save those
your hands may unwittingly have
planted. Her noble, tender heart
has opened to your inmost sight
You think of her now as all gentle
ness, ell beauty, all purity. But she
is dead The dear head that laid
upon your bosom rests in the still
darkness upon a pillow Of clay. The
hands which have ministered so un-
tiringly ere folded, white and cold
beneath tine gloomy portal The
heart whose every beat measured an
eternity of love lies under your feet.
The e-1owers she bent over with smiles
bend now above her il tears, shak-
ing the dew from their petals thst
the ver6ure around her may be kept
green and beautiful. There is no
white arm over your shoulder-no
speaking face to look up into the
eyes of Iove-nO trembling lips to
murmur, "Oh, it is too sad.''
There is so strangea hush in every
room no light footstep passing
around. No smile 10 meet you at
nightfau. And the old clock ticks
and strikes. TWAS such music when
she could hear it! Now it seems q
knell on the hours through which you
watched the shadows of death gath
eriDg on her sweet face.
And every day the clock repeats
the old story. Many another tale it
telleth, too--of beautiful words and

WHOLE NUMBER sos.
Slave Life In South Carolina.

A late number of the Ataatic
contained remarkable article with
the title Edmund Brook" Brock
was o slave; and this is the story of
bis life, written at his request, and
from his dictation, by one Of his
masters family. 1t seems to US to
present q most remarkable insight
into the dangers and wrongs of sia-
very.
The slave of our Southern States
was q creature with moral character
so twisted that, while in many things
good, lie was in many others extra
ordinarily vile. Thus, in the family
of which Brook was 4 member, We
ind s slave girl devoted with atouch-
ing self-sacrifice to the white chill
dren-a slave woman who, for a
mere slight attempts to poison her
mistress and young Brook himself,
who knew of the attempt TO poison
and concealed it, and who, caught
stealing some food one day, was
savagely lectured by his mother on
the disgrace he had brought on his
family, not by stealing-to which she
did not object, but through being
caught in it.
In the great war, too, the peculiar
character of the slave Is shown by
Brook, who attended On his master,
an officer in the rebel army, with the
utmost devotion-even stole food for
his masters table, and kept the Sc
cret from his master. But all this
sffectiOnate devotion appears to have
been but skin deep; for no sooner
did he get q good chance than he ran
away, first securing to some Union
men their escape from prison.
Brook was, in the opinion of the
white Southern people with whom he
came in contact, aremarkably steady,
contentious man; he had those good
traits--but with all, because he was
a slave, LIE was untrustworthy,
tricky, thief, and quite capable Of
concealing an attempt at assassinn-
ton. His sense Of right and wrong
was out of order, and it could not
help but be SO.
We speak of the sketch as true,
because we are assured that it is true
in every respect. Its author is q
South Carolina lady, who writes with
remarkable simplicity and power,
and with patient minuteness which
reminds us of De Foe.--Nea0 York
