The Elections.

There ia a famous passage in the wri-
tings Of Rousseau, the great delineator of
the human heart, which is as true to hu-
man nature as it is beautiful in express
sion: "Were [ in desert [ would fad
out wherewth in it to call forth my affec-
tions. If | could do no better [ would
fasten them on some sweet myrtle, or
some melancholy cypress, to connect my
self to. | would court them for their
shade and greet them kindly for their
protection. would write my name upon
them, and declare ahat they were the
sweetest trees throughout all the desert
If their leaves wthered [ would teach nv
self to mourn, and when they rcjoiced |
would rejoice along with them" Such
is the absoIu tie necessity which exists in
the human heart of having something to
love. Unless the affections have an ob,
jiect life itself becomes joyless and insipid~
The affections have this popularity, that
they are net Sd much the means of happi-
ness. as their exercise is happiness itself.
And not only SO, if they have no object,
she happiness derived from our other
powers is cut off

in each which alone gives strength will be
ours, and, like birds released from their
cage prisons, we shall enter upon, to ac-
complish, our duties.
Then those who made them fight on
earth will be rewarded by the plaudits of
those who watch us who struggle from
distant banks, and will be welcomed, as we
welcome one to the shore who swims from
a wreck, carrying another. And those
who think only Of self preservation, who
care nothing for life, and swim only for
plumber, can go with our contempt to fol-
low them.
They will kindred souls meet with, and
wander with kindred souls, as is the great
duty on earth, if each would do the full
measure of work successfully to reap the
full reward at once over there. Then we
shall not be held back by fears of what
this one or that one may say, for there we
shall not be towards as now.
All in good time. Then let US work
and wait. Let US love those we love, and
care not what others say. Let us do our
duty-lve our lives honestly to ourselves
and thus to God Let US wait patiently
for the coach, and not by suicidal hand
start ahead of the appointed hour to be
left by the roadside to follow on for ages
on foot CROPPING through darkness ! The
coach will not stop for such over-anxious
passengers.
We can not all go at once. But those
OF US who wait can work for the future
We can show disposition get ready to
enter new life. We can sow good seed
to reap great deeds. We can help others
and school ourselves. We can make our
homes happy while we are waiting for the
dawn. and We can make those who love us
little love us more, if We will,
How we would like to take by the hand
tonight all the men and women in the
land who are striving to be good, pure,
deserving, here on earth Ali those who
have souls, and hearts, and pluck, and
faith in the future! All who are, like
brave men and women, striving for the
crown all who are deserving will wear =
All who fight on, yet feel at times dis
couraged, for this is human nature How
we would strike hands with them, for the
earnest life here is the glorious life there,
when the dawn We wait for will be ours
to enjoy. These are our friends-the ones
who are striving. These are the ones we
labor FOR. God bless all of them. All
who sre striving to be men aud women
to do their duty--to live bappy-to show
by their care Of loved ones. their love for
home. and the beautiful here, that they
will be worthy of position orer there, no
matter what their age, their sex, their ma
tion, or creed.
Then let US each strive to fit ourselves,
no matter whence our lives are cast, and
let us be more kind and charitable, that
we may be better fitted for the golden
dawn which will, so sure as life is eternal,
follow the final Saturday Night.-BR1ok

Misere Stanton.

Secretary Stanton is said to be leading
a very desolate, unhappy and miserable
life. He is quite broken down in mind
and body, and threatened with softcning
of the brain
1t is unkind to say that this, if true, is
terrible retribution Historians have
sometimes endeavored to extenuate the
deeds of tyrants, by saying that they were
well intended for the general good. Some
Of the atrocities which Stanton perpetra-
ted during the war have been excused on
that ground. and not few, during the
heat Of party discussion, defended by his
peculiar friends How utterly he seems
to have passed out of public notice, and
certainly public regard. We doubt that
those who toadied to him in his DAYS of
power, caa really respect HIM It was not
SO much that he shut men up in dungeons
for free speech. in States wherein were no
symptoms of war or rebellion, or that he
exercised his partisan displeasure upon
soldiers to whom he was inimical, as that
he needlessly tortured, in their feelings, If

hemofse has ever some spectre text.
Either in this world or he next"
1t vas undoubtedly the remorse which
Preston King felt for tie part he took in
preventing Miss Surratt from seeing the
President during the last hours Of her
mother that induced him to commit sui
eide And, very likely, the spectre that
always stands by the bedside of Edwin NJ.
Stanton is that of the tall pale, and, as has
since been pretty materially demonstrated,
innocent woman, Mrs. Surratt. Time
will come in the history of this country
when the name of Stanton will be as obi
GUS to young boys who learn history as is
that OF Robespierre.
We once heard a Clerk in tho War
Oltloe say that if a Democratic Secretary
Of War could have Immediately succeeded
Stanton without an hours notice, the re-
cords of that Department, judged by en-
lightened civilization, would have more
than exceeded in horrors OF conception and
recital those which some Protestant wri-
tiers in the heat of discussion have alleged
against the Spanish Inquisition NJ 7,

ARTIFICIAL WANTS. says that
poverty is only an idea i'll nine cases out
of ten. Some men with ten thousand
dollars year suffer more for want of
means than others with three hundred
The reason is, the richer man has arti-
fetal wants. His income is ten thousand
and he suffers enough from being dunned
for unpaid debts to kill sensitive man.
A man who earns dollar day, and does
not run in debt, is the happier of the two.
Very few people who have never been
rich will believe this but this is as true
as Gods word. There are thousands and
thousands with princely incomes who
never know a moments peace, because
they live above their means. There is
really more happiness in the world among
the working people than among those who
are called rich

member of the Presbyterian Church, in
excellent standing, a good husband and

death bed, lingering long, he suffered
with great agony of mind, and gave con-
tinual expressions in his remorse for what
his conscience told him had been an i'll

WRITTEN AT MY MOTHERS
GRAVE.

GRAVE.
BY GEORGE PRENTICE. 3
The trembling dew-drops fall
Upon the shattered flowers like souls Of rest;
The stars shine gloriuusly, and all,
Save me, is blest.
Mother, love thy grave! s
The violet, with its blossoms blue and mild,
Waves Ger thy head-when shall it nave
Above thy child?
TITS bright flower, yet must
Its bright leaves to the tempest bow;
Dear mother, tits thine emblem--dust,
Dust is on the brow. tt@
And would love to die,
To leave untasted LIES dark bitter streams,
By thee, as erts in childhood lie,
And chase thy dreams.
And must linger here,
To stain the plumage of my sinless years,
And mourn the hopes of childhood dear,
With bitter tears ?
Aye must linger here,
A lonely branch upon blasted tree,
Whose last frail leaf untimely sore,
Went down with thee?
Oft from life's witherad bow err,
Tn still communion with the past turn,
And muse ON thee, the only flower
In Memory urn.
And when the evening pale
Bows like mourner on the dim blue wave,
l stray to hear the night winds wall
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit flown?
l gaze aboye---thy looks is imaged there
/ listen and thy gentle tone
Is on the air. f&f H..
Oh, come, while press .-ss..
by brow upon thy grave and in those mild
And thrilling ones Of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child !!

Meals on German Railroads.

A foreign letter gives this account of
the convenient manner III which German
travellers get their meals on the road:
''Ten minutes for refr eshment." How
much longer will we be condemned to hear
this horried cry upon our railroads? On
certain German railroads about the ordin-
airy dinner hour man gets ca the train
and takes orders of all passengers who de-
sire dinner At another station, about
half an hour distant, the said dinners are
placed before each passenger Che number
of orders having been tclegraphed from
the station where they were takcn) For
half an hour, or Whereabouts, the pasenn-
gers are at liberty to enjoy their meals,
and then at another station the empty
plates and baskets are taken away. 1t
need not be supposed that there is any in
convenience or possible discomfort in these
railroad dinners. One does not hold
plate on his knee AMI a cup Of coffee in
his hands.
Upon the arrival of the train at the din
ner stallion, each passenger ordering a
meal is furnished with tall round basket
about as high but not of so great dame
ter as a -four barrel This basket has a
fat top with a rim round it, and door
in the side, which, opening, shows shelves
within, with hot soup, meat, vegetables,
perhaps bottle of wine, bread, &c. A
depression in the top of the basket holds
the drinking glass. and all the passenger
has to do is to take out his plates one at a
time, and eat at his leisure.
The cost of the meal is something like
half dollar. The value to hungry,
tired traveller is at least five dollars. Are
the American people stupid that they
would not appreciate some improvement
of this kind 7: Let any enterprising rail
road company try it.
