Death OF Mr.. Richardson.

When we alluded to the assassination OF
this widely-known and talented gentleman
last week, our feelings of indignation and
horror towards the assassin, and towards
that morbid philanthropy-as we esteem
(which permits such murderers to es-
cape the Heayen-declared punishment for
their sin, may have conveyed the impress
sion of unkind feelings towards the MUIR
dcred man, or toward the journal of whose
editorial staff he was an honored member.
Nothing could have been further from our
intention. We differ from that journal
upon the subject of the death penalty for
murdcrers, and thought the assassination
of Mr.. Richardson would be severe trial
of their philosophy. We gladly give
place to the following, written by one who
kno,vs the merits of the case of the la
mented man whose sad fate we record

OVER THE STREAM.


Dark the wilderness, rough the way,
Taorny, rugged, with danger rife,
Only safe when we watch ard pray,
Toiling on in the path Of life.
Still in the distance far we see
Piercing the shadows golden CLEAN,
Yet ah poor heart, it is far away,
And over the stream, over the stream.
"Must we cross the waters that lie
Dark and turbid, so deep aud cold?
Is there 10 other way that leads
To that blest city with streets of gold?
Or is there no boatman with mystic oars
Is there no angel of heavenly mien
10 bear US across to that other shore
Over the stream, over the strsam.
"Stay weary spirit, so sad, forlorn,
Seest thou not that slight canoe,
Pssrly white, and amid the storm
A pilot is waiting and calling 10 yoa:
"Oh, beloved. be not afraid,
Death is not what We mortals deem;
Trust 10 me, and will land you safe,
Over the stream, over the stream"
Faith is the pearly white canoe,
Christ is the pilot who holds the oars,
80 poor spirit, tits not for you
To fear, and tremble aud ask for more.
So why should we mourn when the shadow
come,
II through the darkness we see the gleam-
Ihe blessed light of our spirits home
over the stream, over the stream.

THE TOAST For LABOR.

Here's to the man with horny hand, q,
Who tugs at the breathing bellows;
Where anvils ring in every land,
He's loved by all good fellows.
And here's to him who goes a6eld,
And through the glebe is plowinR,
Or with stout arms the ak doth WELD,
While ancient oaks are bowiug.
Here's to the deliver in the mine,
The sailor on the ocean,
With those of early craft and line,
Who work with true devotion.
Our love for her who tolls iG gloom,
Where cranks and wheels are clanking;
Bereft is she of natures bloom,
Yet God in patience thanking.
a curse for him who sneers at toll,
And shuns his share of labor,
The knsve but robs his native soil,
While leaning on his neighbor.
Here may this truth be brought on earth
Grow more and more in favor;
There is no wealth but owes its worth
To haudicrafi and labor.
Then pledge the founders of our wealth
The builders of our nation;
We know their worth, and now their health
Drink We the reclamation.

may avoid hurting their feelings. When he
is In society he scrupulously ascer,ains the
position aud relations OF every one with whom
be comes in contact, that be may give to
each bis due honor, his proper position. He
studies how he may abstain from any al'usiops
which may call up disagreeable or offensive
associations. A gentleman never alludes to-
nor even appears conscious of any persons s
defect, bodily defOrmity inferiority of talent,
of rank. of reputation in the person in whose
society he is placed. lie never assumes any
superiority to himself-never ridicules, never
sneers, never boasts, makes a display of his

is implied in ridieuIe, or sarcasm, or abuse
as he never INDUCES in habits, or tricks, or
inclinations offensive TO others.

EFFECT OF BRAIN Work ON HEALTH.-
The discussion about wearing out the vital
forces too rapidly from brain work, is taken
up by several of our contemporaries. The
Troy Press says: If we but consider the
ages of men in the learned professions who
labor with their brains almost increasingly,
who to-day are prominent in this country,
we shall see at once that brain work does
not shorten life. If it does it is because the
same outside habits are formed, which tend
to cut the thread that holds the body and
soul of editors together. We know not
where this absurd idea sprang from, but we
know that it is absurd, and one which brain
workers themselves laugh at aud deride.
