Obituary..

Died, Dee. 90, 1868, at the resi-
dence Of his son, in Hyde Park, W.,
Daniel Hardy, our beloved and venerable
father, aged about 81.
On New Years day, 1869, his re-
mains were inferred beside our mothers
ia the family "burial-plot," in Lebanon,
N. H., in which town he had lived most
of the time for 81 years. All his child
rem with their families item in number)
followed him to the grave. except the
writer, who was nearly 2000 miles away
from loved kin, and the former parental
home. On our knees, with face believed
with tears, we praised the Lord that he
had given us such father, and that the
divine Presence was with him to the last {:
even after sight and hearing were gone
and his tongue was palsied in DEATH he
answered back from the precincts of the
glory-land, by significant hand-pressure,
that "aN aOaS ,0eH." Amid paroxysms Of
pain the express'ol, "PreciouS Jesus :"
fingered on his lips, and the "glorious
hope" that had sustained him through
long career Of active business life, grew
brighter as life waped. His faith grew
stronger and hes trust in the merits Of the
Sayiour's blood never faltered, but he
longed for the hour of his release from
the cold tabernacle" There were terri
bic throcs Of agonizing pain, when the
old tenement creaked Ia every timber, as
for weeks it struggled with the fell des-
troyer; but drought it all the tenant
the spirit within--rose superior to bodily
pain, aud triumphed in Christ as the last
earthly support gave way. Our brother,
(&ev. A. G. Hardy, Of the New Hamr-
shire M. E. Conference) who was with
him to the last, writes us, that these were
some of his expressions, ere the death-seal
was on his brow 30 blessed Jesus all
my trust is in thee" "What could l do
now, were it for my blessed Saviour ?''
And thus he breathed out his life ON j. s-
US bosom, as quietly and calmly at the
last as an infant sleeps on its mothers
bosom. Father was converted to God
under the faithful labors of Rev. Martin
lluter, who now sleeps in missionary's
grave IN Texas.--and our first recolec-
tons are interviewer with fathers interest
FOR the moral and religious welfare of his
children and if ne have been enabled to
do any good in the world, we attribute il
to his good counsel and prayers. Fave.
we'll, father thine exile child, long weary
with earth's wanderngs, will meet thee
(as she long ago pledged TO do) in that
glorious morning. She may never bedew
thy tomb with the tears of filial love, but
she will tune the harp in that glorious
choir, and join in the glad refrain, "Untc
Him who loved us, and bought us with
His blood, be praise, and honor, and gle.
ry." Till then, farewell

Eg- The Bellefontaine Republican
relates that on the afternoon of election
day the news in that place was that
Pendleton was elected, which so
wrought upon the enthusiastic blood of
Democratic grocer, named Jordan,
that he swore he would burn his hat;
and filling it with coal oil to the brim,
he touched a match to it, ran out into
the street, and gave it fling into the
air. A stream of fame shot athwart
the sky, Jordan shouted, and admiring
Democrats swelled the cry of triumph.
But the old hat fell upon a wooden
shed in front of the Melodeon Building,
and there it famed and burned, and
burning oil ran in flames down the roof,
and the bonfire promised to be larger
than Jordan had any right to expect
He waited for the hat to come down,
but it accepted the situation and refused
to bulge. And all the time it famed
and burned. Jordap became uneasy.
He forgot that Pendleton was elected.
He forgot that the Legislature was
Democratic, and in his Imagination be-
gan to see the Melodeon Building
wrapped in flames aud his goods con-
sumed. He rushed frantically to one
of the posts and began to climb it, but
his nerves were too unsteady, and ne
came sliding back before reaching the
ton He then rushed to the stairway,
and sought to get on the roof from the
second story, and again found himself
baffied. Meantime, the old hat was
doing its best at burning, over the PEN
dletoh triumph. Down stairs came
Jordan. in sore alright, and almost in
despair. But there must be an end to
all things, and finally the roof was
reached and the hat it was kicked un-
tremendously into the street, and was
not long before it was known to have
been burnt offering in vain.

IFrsm the st. Louis Republican. October ii ]
Murder In the School Room

Last week Mr.. Edward Atkins came
to St, Louis from Chicago to take po-
sition in the Republican news-room, ex-
pecting his family to follow ina few
weeks. Scarcely had he arrived. when
ne received dispatch stating that bis
little boy, seven years of age. was very
Ill. While making preparations to re-
turn to Chicago, another message con-
veyed the sad and startling news that
younger child was not expected to
live. Mr.. Atkins reached Chicago on
the morning of the 18th, and found his
youngest child dead from congestion of
the lungs. In regard to the condition
of the other, the following extract from
hasty note written by Mr.. A tells a
tale of atroeity enough to freeze the
blood:
"Willie is very low. and we have but
little hope of his recovery. He started
to school well and strong. During
school hours. he violated one of the
rules BY playing with some of the boys,
when the teacher Ia woman) caught
him by the hair and dragged him across
the room, pounded him with ruler on
the head, neck and back, and then
threw him against steam pipe, frac-
turing his skull! His right sideis par
alyzed from head to foot, The second
day he had eight paroxisns in one
hour. This morning he is a little
easier.''
The Chicago Times gives the name
of the teacher as adelaide Herrick,
represented to be person about
nineteen years of age, and of very
violent and ungoverned temper" The
Times, after giving an account of the
manner of punishment, says:
"After school the child went home
and reported the treatment he had nm
dergone. He complained of pain in the
head; but it was not supposed to be
anything serious until, some time in
the night. brain fever set in, and the
child became raying crazy. In the in
sanity of fever, the little one continual
ly cried out: Don't strike me! Oh,
don t, don't strike me!' In this state the
child has continued since Thursday
last. There is said to be no hope of
recovery"

The Black Man.
By JOSH BILLINGS.


The black man emigratid tew this
great and plus kuntry about 200 years
formerly, in the lower story ov ves-
sci; he was kindly furnished with a
free ride, and some rice and water for
vittles.
Immediately upon his arrival, he
commenced buzziness for other folks
on our eastern coast, and had plenty
tew do
He was very Economical in his hab-
its, of clothes wearing but few, and
these seldnm made out ov cashmere.
He ockasinally changed his lokation,
moving into an adjoining State, but in
these jurnise he was allus kindly fur
nished with a glide. so that there wuz
no danger of his getin lost.
In these trips he seldom took hez
family with him; they were either tew
remain at hum, or to make excursions
in search ov work to other States, un
der the guidance of experienced
guides.
Once in a while the black man would
stray away far tew the cold and bitter
North, and git cruelty lost.
His gides would mourn for him
then, aud sarch for him, but hiz family
soon got reconciled tew the lost.
Everybody sed, where he lived, that
he was the happiest critter that had
ever bin discovered yet, with nothing
tew do but work, and kind gide to
wotch over him awl the time, and
mourn for him when he got lost.
But the black man is very phool-
ish critter. and now likes it that he is
without glide.

Who Wrote Beautiful Snowf'

The poem entitled Beautiful Snow"
has now been the rounds of the period
zeal and newspaper press for the past
four winters, and has been generally
credited to fallen actress who died In
St. Louis; but some editors credit it
to young woman who died in hos.
pital at Cincinnati. Few persons, if
any, know the history or the author of
that beautiful poem, and as only part
of it is published in its annual rounds,
| send you the whole poem, as original
II published; with It's simple history,
which is as follows:
In 1850, its author, William A.
Sigourney, nephew OF the late Mrs.
L. H. Sigourney, married young,
wealthy. and accomplished lady in
New York City. They went to Europe.
where they spent two years; but be-
fore they returned home, reports
reached their friends that the young
wife was inconstant, and, on their ar
rival in New York, her parents dis
carded her, and, being Stunned by her
former friends, she plunged headlong
into vice and dissipation Mr.. Sigour-
ney tried every means to induce her to
leaxe her companions in sin, and walk
in the paths of virtue He was a kind
husband, and idolized his young and
beautiful wife; but she would not heed
his counsel and entreaties, but plunged
deeper and deeper, until she was ar
rested in her career of vice and shame,
and sent to the work-house as COM
mon street walker. from which place
she was liberated by well-known city
magistrate, and for a short time lived
with her husband; but in the autumn
of 1855 she went back to her old haunts,
and commenced drinking to excess.
until, in December of that year. she
died in White Street, and was found
early in the morning, nearly covered
with snow. She was buried in Green
wood by her husband. This is the true
history of the poem which | give be-

The mother resolved to endow six girls
with those riches, and actually adver-

came, and she selected six. None of
them had lovers; but now they had

was speedily engaged. and with the

rich lady by promising to pray for the

In no country is this arrangement of

The ladies of Russia are very anxious
