CJatinUed Rert pCeeL..
From the Christian Union.
Edwin M. Stanton.

Soon after the close of the great civil
war, we solicited Mr. Stanton for some
facts respecting himself, which we want
ed for publication. After premises and
delays not few, we said 10 him, "Mr
Stanton, if you had served your country
as negligcntly as you do yourself, we
should have been destroyed long ago
With peculiar smile of affection, he
turned his eyes full upon us, and said,
"MY friehd, you had better say nothing
about my life until l am dead" That
time has come.
The war destroyed regulations almost
as wantonly as it destroyed human lives.
But whoever stood the test Of that long
and desperate struggle need not fear that
he will soon sink. Only men of mould
and might could rise and abide in power.
The number is not large. Among them
history will place Edwin NJ. Stanton, and
there be those who think that no other
name will be found higher than his:
His manifold endowments fitted him
tor this eminence. Reason, moral senti
timent, Imagination, and will were com
bIned in such proportions as TO create n
great nature. He was built tor bower.
OF bilious temperament, giving both
activity and endurance; with laI ge head,
chest and stomach, generating ample
force, he had great personal impressive
ness, although he was neither comely OF
face nor shapely in body. When his
soul began to work, one forgot what
manner of presence he was of, and was
conscious only Of his mysterious and in
tense power. Even when it terrified, it
had charm ; and when it pleased, it tas-
cinatcd.
Reared to the practice of law, Mr.
Stanton became eminent in his profession
Yet there were those who knew that his
whole being would never be drawn out
by its duties. "That man yonder," said
an eminent lawyer of Philadelphia to a
friend, "that man lying on the sofa yon-
der, reading novels, is waiting his time
You will hear from him, yet. He is one
Of the great men. When his time comes
you will find him out"
AT the very top and prime of his lite,
with all his faculties ripe and well prac.
ticedj his lime came. lie was called 10
the head OF the War Department, and
for four years the War Department was
the Government. The war had begun
in earnest. Huge bodies of men had
been roughly shaped into armies-bnt no
general had appeared. Small men of
every variety, one after another, had been
placed in the saddle but the warhorse
flung them all and champed and paved
impatiently without rider. Good men
there were, both in the field aud in the
War Department, but no Master
The whole Administration was loose
jointed and uncompact. The people were
sound, in earnest, and long way ahead
OF their rulers. Mr.. Lincoln, essentially
a slow man, and never exceling in adj
skill, had neither evinced
those elements of strength which long
trial afterwards brought out, nor had
even shown the germs OF them. In their
special departments, Mr.. Chase and Mr..
Seward exhibited great ability, but tho
their functions were of transcendent inn
por:ance, they did not touch directly the

Legal SuasioE Needed,

That eminent minister, Rev. Albert
Barnes, held very decided views with re-
gard to the miquitous liquor traffic.
Would that all of the profession would
as boldly speak out againstthe enemy of
religion, the family and the State. He
says
There is class of men, and those most
deeply interested III the matter, that .you
can never influence by moral suasion.-
They are men Who enter no sanctuary
who place themselves aloof from arpu-
ment; whose hearts are hard whose
consciences are scared (; whose sole mo-
live is gain ; aud who if the moral part
OF the community abandon a business.
will only drive it on themselves the fast,
er. What are you to do with such men e?
Are you to protect them in their business
against the general sense of community i?
Are you to throw the shield of the law
over them, aud sanction all that the7 do i?
Are you TO license them and derive q
revenue from their business ? Are you
to make supplementary provisions to sus-
tain all the paupers they will make, and
TO pay the costs of all the prosecutions
for crime that shall result from their en-
ployment? How are you to check, re-
strain, control, such men Is it to be by
moral suasion ? All our acts of legisla-
tion answer-No. You may go far in the
temperance reformation by moral suasion,
but il has failed in removing the evil, and,
from the nature of the case, must always
fail, just as anything else would, while
the State throws its protecting shield
over the traffic; and while there are men,
principled and unprincipled, Who will
take advantage of such protection, and
resist your arguments, and soothe their
consciences in the plea that what they
do is legal.

Creek, uubbard's Run. and the road
running west on the north line of lot No

township OF Plymouth.

townships, Plymouth and Ashtabula.
Yet, from the foregoing enumeration in
October 1855, it appears that the west

in 1911, and reached Ashtabula February
18th, OF that year. The Rev. Joseph

the first merchant and Matthew Hub
bard, Esq, the first permanent settler,
and the land agent of Nehemiah Hub
bard, Esq, for selling his extensive lands
III this and several other counties, he
found settled here He was immediately
employed by Mr. Smith, as the first
merchants clerk ever employed in Ashta-
bula, and for considerable time boarded
with him, at the Rev. Mr.. Badgers. He
also soon became we'll acquainted with
Mr.. Hubbard, and observed his extensive
business, connected with his hand office,
with purchasers coming from long dis
tances through the woods to buy, or to
make payments, and not permitted TO re-
turn to their forest homes without shar-
ing, free of expense, the hospitalitles of

Smith had been trader in furs with the
Indians and early white settlers in the
Western Reserve and the Fire Lands,
and, at this time, was one Of the only
two merchants on an area of 40 by so

Jet and Silver.
BY JENNIE GOULD.

One is lovely, raven curl
Gwen TO me when tiny girl.
The other, soft and silver white,
L took from his darling head tonight
All raven curl, what memories rise,
Of noble brow and hazel eyes,
Sweet eyes that looked with tender pride,
such loving things to Il bonnie bride
A laughing baby with eager glee,
Dancing and growing on fathers knee,
Pulls at the curlS-O dear what fun,
Ii the rosy hands catch hold of one.
Other babies as bright and fair,
Have pulled and played with his curly hair.
Other children whose hearts are sore,
VIII long for the smile that comes no more
Though the rolling years speed swiftly past,
And the raven curs grow gray at last,
And the bluc-eycd baby has passed away.
A girls hand plays mid the curls to day.
o, silver curl, you're dearer TO me
Than the raven hair can ever be,
from his snowy temple that lock was she'd
The others repOse on his slumbering head
Inc courtly greeting, the gentle smile,
Where the loving heart shone sweet the while;
Dear tender heart, that angels bore,
In the quiet dawn TO the golden shore.
Lips cannot utter, nor language tell,
what broken hearts are saying too well,
only God knows Of the sunshine hid
With the silver curls meath the coffin lid
When my earthly race is almost DER,
when my tired lcct near the heavenly shore,
l know shall see those curls,
As my fathers hand clasps his darling girls.

Gossip and Ridicule.

There's q dismal cave in the forest.
Where the sunshine never falls.
Where shadows dwell and waters drip
From the green and Shiny walls.
In this dark and drcary cavern,
SO fit for dragons lair,
There dwell two ancIent sisters,
And they are lovely pair.
The one is old and ugly,
The other is ugly and old
Sometimes they are sly and cunning,
Sometimes they are reckless and bold.
1t Is said, (you may judge how justly,)
These sisters are servants meet
Of one we sometimes picture
With horns and with cloven feet
The names of these charming ladies,
(To go by the common rule,
And give you an introductory
Are Gossip and Ridicule.
In the very early morning,
Before the sun has risen,
These weird and haggard sisters
Come forth from their gloomy prison.
And all day long, together,
hcy WuHucr, Wlln ufClcSs tcct,
Through hamlet and quiet country,
And the city crowded street.
Wherever they find fair Virtue,
Wherever sweet Friendships stay,
They come with their blIghting whispers
To drive the angels away.
And Satan, keeps in his ledger,
Account of the work they do,
And chuckles with satisfaction
As he reads the records through.
And he says, "NIy faithful hand-maids,
You have served me lon~ and well,
And soon, full soon, III take you
Forever with me TO dwell"
Beware for these ancient sisters
Are doing their work to-day.

They hear the words you say.
