A whole Family In Heaven

A whole family in heaven! Who
can picture or describe the everlast,
ing jOyi No one absent. Nor IA
ther, nor mother, nor sou. nor daugh,
Ter are away. In the world below,
they were united in faith, aud love,
and peace, and joy. IL the morning
OF the resurrection they ascend to-
gether. Before the throne they bow
together in united alteration. On the
banks Of the River of Life they walk
hand in hand, and az a family have
commenced career Of glory which
shall be everlasting. There is here.
after to he no separation in that fami-
~. No one is to lie down on bed
Of pain. No one to wander into tn"
arms of death. Never in heaven is
that family to move along in the slew

Of woe, to cOnSign one Of its members
to the tomb. God grant thar in his

FoRGoT TO LOOK CP.-I have
somewhere seen he story of II man
who went one evening to steal corn
from his neighbours field. He took
his little boy with him to sit on the
fence and keep Il lookout, so as to
give warning in case any one should
come along. The man jumped over
the fence with large bag OH his
arm, and, before commencing to take
he corn, he looked all around, first
one way and then the other, and not
seeing any person, he was Just about
to fill his bag. Then the little fellow,
his SOFIA good little fellow he WAS.
tOo-cried out: r
Father, there is one way you
haven't looked yeti"
The father was startled, and sup
posed that some one was coming. He
asked his son which way he meant.
"Why," said the little boy, "you
forgot to look up
The father was conscience strick
en-; he CAME back over the fence,
took his little boy by the hand, and
hurried quietly home without the
corn which he had designed to take.
The little boy had reminded him that
the eyes OF God were upon him.

llace behOlding the evil aud the
good"

And here is what Mr. Seymour says con
cerning his position in reference to thu
same matter;
'Mr. Chairman and Gentleman Of III

A Change in Esubiic Affairs.

There is, in the management OF pubic al
fairs, that which "impresses the people
strongly with determination to have
chang, at the November election. All can
see that egregious mistakes and errors have
bce committed. Business is. di>tressngly
dull; industry is depressed, and is receiving
but scanty mfd dmaagcr reward; except ID
.Govdrnmcnt bppls, cnpltal finds an IN
romuncra.ivc harvest; the people are eaten
up With dhbf.t .tah4are opprcsse4 with Tn
bearallc taxation. These are facts which
are not denied, They arc. patent to every
body; they are 1cN by every body. 1t is moi
wonderful, therefore, that thcneople should
be looking foy.a now deal in the admlnll>tra-
tive policy Of tic country. Things can no.
possibly be any worse, and can hardly ialI
to he better by change. The Democracy,
| if succcsstui, will give them increased meme
tav facilities. They will give them n unl>
form system of taxation, and oh!ige capital
to pay its share to support expense as wei
AS the people They will take up the bonds,
and so force the holders to invest their mon
ey in that which will afford remuneration
to the people. 10 clecti linm Samuel Grant

symyatny Syithou, Occasion. For

The Republican press ard orators Of that
party says the CRISIS, are already shedding
their crocodile tears Of sympathy fer the
Democracy of the West, who, they claim,
are as badly deceived in Seymour on the
greenback question, they themselves are
in Grant on the questions Of his ability, in
tegrity, or the supposed enthusiasm to he
created anew in TIER demoralizcd ranks by
his nomination. This liberality ofsympathy,
however, Is foolish waste Of powder. II
the first place, their sympathy is not want
| cd in any quarter; and as it cannot benefit
themselves, it will be ef no avail to others
In the next place, they are as cgrogous'y
mistaken as usual and their lamentations
on this point are founded on iasehood. The
Democratic platform is positive and explicit
on the greenbock question: and in this, as
in all other wholesome respects, is as widely
different az it is decidedly preferable to the
Chicago platform Gov Seymour docs
not hesitate for moment or: a day after
his nomination to promptly and cordially
endorse the whole platform, without res
ervaton or equivocaion. In accepting the
nsminatioD, he say :
"You have given to nc a cepy of the re

which now agitate the country. As the pre-
