Gnarled lives.

1t is solemn thing TO grow out of
youth and not be a Christian. 1t is a
solemn thing for young man to grow
up into manhood and not be Christian.
1t is solemn thing for parents to wait
for their children to get into the trough
of the sea before they attempt to bring
them TO the Lord Jesus Christ. 1t is a
solemn thing to abandon child to hope,
chance, and promise, when all growth
beyond youth is wrong growth. | buy

that the grape tFeilsses have been neg
lected until the vines have gone in and
out, and twisted themselves around the

my gardner, "See here; which Is the
cheapest, TO take that vine and burn 1t,
and plant new vine there or undertake
to trim this up and give it new start,
and endeavor to train it right?" He
would say it was about six Of one and a
half dozen of the other On the whole
it is better TO plant a new root than TO
seek to change the old vine. Is not this
true in regard to great many men To
undertak ke to untwist and unlock these
gnared branches which are twirled
around their life, is it not like taking the
very root out of them? How many are

Why America does not Sympathize
With Napoleon.

In the darkest hour Of the rebellion.
when the United States was Inundated
by the insolent attitude of England in
the affair OF the Treat, il is well known
that Napoleon strongly urged upon
Lord Palmerston a declaration Of war
by France and England against this
country, and for no reason whatever but
to break up and destroy its republican
government Failing in this, the dcs-
pot under took to destroy the Republic
Of Mexico, and erect monarchy on this
continent, as a standing menace to the
United States. Getting kicked out Of
that country, he cOntrived to leave Maxi.

leans, for the crimes which the unscru.
pulons French Emperor had committed
against them. Had the South won the
battle of slavery, it is well known thai
an alliance with Napoleon was one OF
the first fruits it anticipated. His ports
were always freely opened to pirate
ships, and it was from Cherbourg that the
Alabama sailed when the Kearsage sent
her to the bottom. During the whole
contest not a word of sympathy or ap.
proyal greeted the North from the Gov,
erpment OF France.

AS it sometimes rains when the sun
shines, there may be joy in saints
heart when there are tears in his eyes.
There is thread in our thoughts as
there is pulse in our heart; he who can
hold the one, knows how to think, and
he who can move the other knows how
TO feel.
Whether your religion be true or rot,
it will be tried; whether it be chat OF
wheat, the fan Of the Great Winunower
will surely be brought into operation up
on all that lies upon the threshing'hoor.
A castle may be assaulted without be-
ing overcome. If the tempter excites an
evil emotion and We reject it, the SID is
not ours, but his; but if we comply
with the evil, We surrender ourselves at
discretion.

There is an indeinable power in heav-

been exceedingly quiet, and sales have been
mostly confined to'iilling orders ut about
previous rates. Corn has been in liberal
receipt, and there is some inquiry for de-
sirablc lots in good shipping order at the
reduced rates. All grades below prime
mixed are neglected and dull. Oats are
dull at the recent decline, with but few
buyers In the market. Hay has been

Democratic Platform.

The following platform of princi.
Piles were adopted at Newton. by
the late Democratic Congressional
Convention:
1st. Resolred, That the persistent
and repeated violations OF the Con.
stltution and constitutional laws by
the Radical party since that party
has had control OF the government,
merit the condemnation of all citi-
zcns, and has once, and shall receive
the continual and determined oppo.
sition Of the emocratic party.
81. Resolred, That the profiigacy
and corruption which have entered
into all the official stations OF the
Federal government, the favoritism
that has appointed to positions OF
public trust the partisans or tools Of
those who control the public patron
age, should be Denounced by all
true friends OF the Union.
3D.. Resolrcd, That the Republican
party, by voting to ratify the Fit
teenth Amendment to the Const,tu-
ton has shamefully violate its
pledges that the question o: suffrage
should be retained within the con-
troll of the people OF the States.
18th. Resolred That as heretofore
we are now opposed to the tariff as
amended by Congress-; that it is de-
rogatory to commercial interests Of
the Nation, a luxury for the wealthy
manufacturer but depression tor the
Laborer, and that we demand a
speedy reduction of the same to the
basis Of .judicious and equitable
Revenue Tariff bordering closely ub-
on Free Trade. -
5th. Resolred, That all the states
should he at once restored to their
rights III the Union under the con.
| stltution, and ANNE sty should be
granted tor all past political offenscs,
and the regulation OF the elective
franchise by the citizens OF the sew.
cral States
9th. Resolred, That the present sys
tenn of taxation, raising, as it does,
the bulk Of the Federal, revenue from
the labor rather than from the
wealth Of the country, is unjust and
oppressive, aud that this system
should be reformed so as to relieve
the industry OF the country from it's
unjust burdens. abolish the unneces-
sary ana vexalions features OF stamp,
license, and income taxes, dispense
with the services OF Federal spies
that pry into the private business OF
the people, eating out their substance,
and provide for the collection OF the
Federal revenue by State and county
J officers, and that We are in favor Of

From tree to trce-top. Everywhere
June's murnurous beauty thrilled

The Mountain from his blissful

Looked up content, as if he knew
The sky bent down in tenderest blue.

Left off, and plunged with headlong

Almost within the printed page.

Bore nothing like this honeyed

And long to taste with eager lips
Flower-thoughts which every flower

And June becomes a story told
Some subtle power must fill each line
When birds pronounce apoet fine.
