the unhappy man, 'please don't leave
me thus?'
May, dear father, returned the dying
maiden, in q scarcely audible whisper.

The pale lips ceased to move. The
blue eyes slowly closed, never to open

st. Clair stood with clenched hands,
glaring like . madman On those around
him. Then he snatehed mp goblet Of
wine from the table near him, and with
. fierce exclamation dashed it to the
floor.

to recoil and tremblingly stare. Lie

With this he took last farewell look
at the beauteous form lying at his feet,
waved his hand to his comrades, made
q leap toward the door and fed from the
room, and in another moment Was out
upon the dark street.
The alarmed gamblers thinking him
mad made haste to follow, but he Was

Go feel what have felt,

Then suffer on from yesT 70 year
Thy sole relief the scorching tear.
Go kneel as have knelt,

Youths sweetness turned 70 gall:
Life's fading towers strewed eli the wsy
That brought me up to woman's day.
Behold the strong man bowed
With gnashing teeth-lips bathed In blood
And cold and livid brow;
Go catch his whitening glance, and see
There mirrored his souls misery.
Go to thy mothers side, -st
And her crushed bosom cheer;
Thine own deep anguish hide;
Wipe from her cheek the bitter tear
Marx her worn frame and withered brow
The gray that streaks her dark hair now,
With fading frame and trembling limb
And trace the ruin back to him,
Whose plighted faith in early youth
Promised eternal love aud truth,
But who, foresworn, hath yielded up
That promise to the cup
And led her down through love and light,
j All that made her promise bright
And chained her there, mid want and strife,
That lowly thing-a drunkard's wife
And stamped on childhood's brow, so mild,
The withering blight-the drunkard's child.
Go hear, and feel, and see, and know,
All that my soul hath felt and known-
Then look upon the wine cups glow;
See if its beauty can atone
Think of its favor you will try,
When all proclaim, 'tis drink, and die!
Tell me ! HATE the bowlf-
Hate is . feeble word
Iloathe-abhor-my very soul
With strong disgust il stirred
When zee, or hear, or tell

The Governor stated, that agreeable to the de-
alterations in the Committee he had obtained in
formation from the Upper Court as to the pos
sibility of a reduction in the Oace-ezponses
there, and according to that information he was
able for the present to withdraw the Money-BilI,
but with this reservation, that if in the course Of
the year there should be any necessity of an ad-
ditional sum, it would have to be procured.
The Money-BilI was then withdrawn.

'and after having done little or nothing, got tired
"of doing that, and adjourned to next Thursday
with the understanding that there would be no

Just so. The Dominicans have some sense,
and they see that the Westindia Islands, one
and all, would get on much better without these
mock Assemblies and Councils and all their
gossip. St. Croix would be truly happy to be
rid of its nuisance of a Colonial Council.

ago we were startled at seeing something like q
ray of it illuminate our Colonial Council, though
only for u moment, as it was instantaneously OK
tiuguishcd in the Councils o~ycrpowcring atmos-
phcrc of dullncss. We alludo to the proposal of
the budget-committcc regarding midwifes, which
was sJmmarily rejected by the Council, the pro
posal being, that out Of two midwife-salarics
should be created three. This proposal is per
fcctly sound and fcasable in Arithmetic, being
simply result of addition for, as the bigger
number contains all the smaller ones, it follows,
that whore there is ,, there is also /, and | adj

this rule make 3; and it only required a little
arithmctical reflection in the Council to have per
coiyed it and to have applied this beautiful science
for making 3 midwifcs out Of

To the voters of the fourth congressional dis
trict Of Illinois.
In the performance of tho duties assigned Us
by the Democracy of the District, we besre tc
GALL your sttontion to a few of the acts of the
present party in power:
First. An unnecessary, bu densome, ineui.a

Seoond. high protective tariff for the benefit
OF few monopolies which creates additional
burdens on the west for the benefit of The east.
Third. The exemption of the interest bearing
debt from its proper taxation.
Fourth. Abolishng by congressional action 'he
rights of states and individuals.
Fifth. By class and partial iegisia'on i
wealthy corporations attempting to retain party
power through fraud and corruption
SirtA. Committing these and other great out
RACES which could be perpetrsted upon free
people. only after great civil war, upon pre-
tence of strengthing the government when their
true object is 10 lead the people to monarchy and
despotism.
To remedy these great evils, We invite all who
oppose these outrages to join with US in sending
delegates 40 the Convention to be held at Dallas
City on the 10th day Of August, for the purpose
of selecting candidate for Congress, who will
