BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. This old
adage was fully verified yesterday by Governor
Wells pardoning colored man named Israel
Brown, who was convicted in 1859 for an as
sault on white man. Brown was at thatti
a slave, and was sentenced to be sold and trans
ported out of the country for life 1t seems,
however, that he was never transported, but
was confined in the peniteptiary until 1868,
when he was taken out by order of Gov. Smith
and put to work in the capitol grounds under
guard. After some time he was allowed to go
about when and where he pleased, without
hindrapce; in fact, he took up his quarters in
the stables attached to the Executive mansion,
where he has remained up to the present time.
he was pardoned for the reason that there is
no power to execute the sentence. We learn
that for some time Israel has been drawing
pay regularly for his services. s.-Rich. Whag. :

the debt, and to the whole insane f.
n%ancial policy OF which these measures
are q part.
Resolved, That the fortitude and
gallantry of our soldiers in the recent
civil war, in defense of the Union, en-
title them to the gratitude of the coun.
try, and they should ever be remem.
bered by il in its bounties.
RESOLVED, That the Democracy of the
country have neither the purpose nor
desire to re establish slavery, nor to
assume any portion of the debts OF the
States lately in rebellion.
Resoloed That, neither forgetting
nor denying our ancient faith that
gold and silver coin form the currency
of the Constitution, We declare that
the fve-twenty bonds should be paid
in the same currency received by the
Government for their issue, and that
by the withdrawal Of the monopoly
granted to the National Banks this re-
suit can be accomplished without an
undue or dangerous increase of paper
money, now the only circulating medi'
um, thus relieving our people from the
burtben of a debt, the tendency OF
which is always to corrupt and eDslave,
and our Government from the reproach
of paying a favored class in gold, while
discharging its debts to all others i'm
Guiding pensions to widows and SOL
diers, in an inferior currency.
ResolUe9, That this plan violates no
law, impairs no crntract, breaks no
faith, and instead of retarding a return
to specie payments, is the shortest
because the only safe way Of reaching
that end.
RESOLVED, That all the property Of
the country, including the Govern
ment bonds, which receives the equal
protection of the Government, should
bear an equal share in its burtheus.
Resolved, That we Indignantly reject
the principle derived from the feudal
system-that the masses of the people
belong to the Governments under
which they live, which in another form
is commended for by the monarchies of
Europe, including Great Britain,
once a subject always a subject-that
we on the contrary maintain that an
individual can, by emigration and resi-
dence in another country, forswear his
previous allegiance, aud be admitted in,
to all the civil aud political rights Of
his new home-that American citizens
by adoption and naturalization are en-
titled to all the rights as between US
and foreign powers which can be
claimed by our native born ~citizeos,
and it is the duty of the Federal Gov
eminent to protect and maintain them
by every means in its power. 81
Resoloed, That the people will u
tain Andrew Johnson, Presiden. of
the United States, in his struggle with
Congressional usurpation, and that we
pledge the Democracy of Ohio to sup
port him in all Constitutional measures
to relieve the white people of the South
from the negro government now being
imposed upon them,

Horses In Battle.

The extent to which q charger can az.
prehend the perils of a battle field may
be easily anderrated by one who CON
&nes his observation to horses still car
rying their riders ; for, as long as a troop
horse in action feels the weight and
hand of a master. his deep trust in
man keeps him seemingly tree from
great terror, and he goes through the
fight, unless wounded, as though it
we're a feld day at home but the mo
-ment that death or a disabling wound
.depnives him of his rider, he seems all
et moe to learn what a battle is to
preeeive its real dangers with the clear

as these sounds disclose to MIN the

trude, Wild with fright, he still does
not most commonly gallop home into

him that what safety, if any, there is

The Old Mormon Temple I'm
Kirkland.
From the gainesville CO., Telegraph

The old Mormon Temple at Kirt-
land, Ohio, so famous in the b story Of
Mormonism, is now the property of a
wealthy Normon residing in Chicago,
and was sold, with tie land on which
it stands at sherif's s.lc, for the nom
inal sum Of $50; $500 has been ex.
pended in repairs, 80 that the building,
although dsspoiied of its original ele-
gances maybe made to endure, a monu-
ment of the mistaken zeal of its found
ers, for mapy years to come. The
houses once 1owned and occupied by
joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are
still s~taudibgin the neishbcrhood, as
are also somei other buildings, whose
associations are more or less memorable.
But few ofthe faithful, however, re-
main, the most prominent being the
venerable Martin Harris. The temple
is situated on the summit of Kirkland
Hill, is built-of cut stone ard is one of
the largest edi6ces 10 the State. In
its construction several hundred of tie
deluded followers of Joe smith labored
for many months, and they had just
con- pleted aud held one or two meet
ines within .ifs walls, when the proph.
cts and their tribe marched from Kirt-
land town; never to return. At the
foot of the hin lies the beautiful valley,
through which runs Willoughby river,
known as kirkland Flats. Kirkland

near the temple, and the other on the

Riding, as it is usual for the COM
mander of q regiment to do. some way
in advance Of his regiment, Lord
George Paget was especially tormented
and pressed by the riderless horses
which chose to run round and align
with him. At one time there were
three or four of these horses advancing
close abreast Of him on one side, and as
many as five on the other. Impelled
by terror, gregarious instinct, and by
their habit of ranging in line, they
"closed" in upon Lord George as to
besmear his overalls with blood from
the CORY fianks of the nearest intru
ders. and oblige him to use his sword.

THEY WON'T
YOU LONG.

Children grow up-Lothing on earth
grows so fast as children. 1t was but
yesterday, and that lad was playing
with tops, a buoyant boy. He is a
man, and gone now! There is no
more childhood for him and for US
Life has claimed him. When a begin.
ing is made. it is like ~rayeling a stock
ing ; stitch by stitch gives way till all
are gone. The house has not q child
in it. There is nc more noise in the
hall-boys rushing in peltmell; it is
very orderly now. There are NO mote
skates or sleds, bats, balls or strings
left scattered about. Things are neat
enough now.
There is no delay breakfast for sleepy
folks ; there is no longer any task be-
fore you of looking for any body, and
tucking up the bedclothes. There are
no disputes to settle, nobody to get off
to school, no complaints; no import
%unities for impossible things, NO rips to
mend, no fingers to tie up, no faces TO
be washed, or collars to be arranged
There never was such a peace in the
house! 1t would sound like music to
hear some feet clatter down the front
stairs Oh, for some children's noise /!
What used to US all that we were
hushing their Loud laugh, checking
their noisy frolie aud r%eproving their
slammine and banging the doors? We
wish our neighbors would lend us an
urchin or two to make a little noise in
these premises. A home without child

Dus16g the secular days this is
enough, marked. But it is Sunday that
puts our home 70 the proof. That is
the Christian family DAY. The in
tervals of public lwofship are long
spaces of peace. The family seems
made up on that day. The children
are ct home. You san lay your hands
on their heads. They seem to reeog-
nize the greater and lesser love-to
God and to friends. The house is
peaceful bat not still. There is 9 low
and melodioue thrill Of children in it.
But Sunday comes too still ADow.-
There is a silence that aches in the ear.
There is too much room at the table,
too orderly There is too much leisur' 8
and too little care. xTvl4a
