George III. PendIeton.

The Washington Republican, although
strongly Radical, at times asserts its in
dependence and fairness by speaking
justly of political opponent. A recent
issue contains the following:
Hon Geo. H. Pendleton is candidate
for United States Senator from Ohio, to
succeed Senator Sherman, whose term
will expire on the Sd of March, 1873.
Mr.. Pendleton is in the prime of man.
hood, forty-six, and has already seen
much of public life, having served in
the Senate of Ohio in 1858 and 1855,
and in Congress from 1857 to 1868. In
1864 he was nominated for Vice-Presi-
dent on the ticket with Mcclellan. He
comes of good stock. His father, Ma
thaniel Green Pendleton, was an aid to
Gen. Gaines from 1913 to 1914, Senator
in Ohio in 1925 and 1926, and member
of Congress from l84l to 1913, after
which he voluntarily retired to private
life. He was a man of uncommon abil-
ity and high character. His father, Ma
thaniel Pendleton, was an officer of the
Revolutionary war, judge, and second
Of Alexander Hamilton in his duel with
Aaron Burr. Mr.. Geo. H. Pendleton is
gentleman of ample fortune, high cul-
ture, fine orator, and is very popular
with personal and political friends.

Signs In the SKY.

From the New York Tribune.l
A religious paper publishes curious
appeal in the following words:
ut is asked of all newspapers. desiring
the spread Of truth, and the destruction Of
error, that they publish this request and
prayer TO Almighty power, that on the three
first Sunday. nights in October. 1871, there
shall appear in the heavens distinct light in
the shape Of great CROSSE"
and furthermore, all good people are
urged to pray earnestly for this miracu-
lous sign. The honest enthusiasm which
dictates this communication is of course
entitled to full respect. Here is doubt
less som devout Christian who has looked
on the wickedness of the world and the
obduracy Of mankind until he has lost
confidence in the ordinary means for
diffusing religious truth. He has seen
millions of money and hundreds of lives
expended in missions to the heather,
and still the hedthen are not converted.
Civilized countries have thousands of
churches and scores of religions, and
still the land is full of murder, lust,
fraud, theft, lying and anger. The pull
pit and the printing press seem, to one
who looks so steadily towards the dark
side, powerless for anything but evil.
Gods way. of preaching the Gospel
proves to be failure; we must call upon
heaven to intervene with miracles and
apparitions.
The delusion under which such people
laborlis worth study. Ever since Christ
censured the wicked and adulterous ger
Grafton which demanded a sign instead
Of living up to the light already given it,
the world has been full of mistaken en-
thusiasts begging for suspension of the
laws Of nature to frighten mankind into
doing their duty. Thg have all history
to teach them that the world is not to be
converted by marvels in the sky-nay,
that those who will not believe the words
of the Gospel would still refuse to be-
lieve though one should rise from the
dead. The apparition of cross in the
clouds would be a sign less wonderful
than many things that are done every
day under our eyes, and this is not an
age which people are disposed to inter
pret as a message of divine import every
phenomenon which they are unable to
explain. A miracle which spoke no
definite truth would leave the skeptical
unconvinced of Christianity, just as the
unaccountable performances of the me-
dunn Hume leave US skeptical of Spirit
ism as a system of religion. Christian
ity itself is standing miracle, far
greater than crosses in the sky. And is
it by any means certain that the Gospel
is not getting along pretty well, consd-
ering what world of work the Almighty
gave it to do?

One Of our young gentlemen became
quite exfravagant in his admiration of a
young lady in one OF the Sultan's car

upon to withdraw from it. He declared
that she had smiled on him very sweetly,

A PICTURE.


THE following sweet poem is from the pen
of Shillaber-" Mrs. Partington "-and is a
perfect picture of his childhood home. 1t is
touchingly beautiful. and our readers Will
thank us for publishing it. A friend and
townsman Of Shillaber attests to the beauty
and truthfulness'of the picture, and they will
thank him also for the pleasure this gem
affords them :-Er.
There's a little low hut by the rivers side.
Within the sound Of its ripping tide;
Its walls are grey with the moses of years,
And its roof all crumbled and old appears;
But fairer to me than the castles pride,
Is the little low hut by the rivers side.
The little low hut was my natal nest,
Where my childhood passed-Life's Spring
Where the hopes Of ardent youth were formed,
And the sun of promise my young heart
warmed,
Ere threw myself on life's swift tide.
And left the dear hut by the rivers side.
That little low hut, in lowly guise.
Was soft and grand TO my youthful eyes.
And fairer trees were ne or known before III
Than the apple trees by the humble door,
That my father loved for their thrifty pride,
Which shadowed the hut by the river's side.
That echoed of old with pleasant tone,
And brothers and sisters. merry crew,
Filled the hours with pleasure as on they tlew
But one by one the loved ones died.
That dwelt in the hut by the rivers side.
The father revered and the children gay
The graves of the world have called away;
But quietly all alone there sits
By the pleasant window ip summer ana Knlts,
An aged woman, long years allied
With the little low hut by the rivers side.
That little low hut to the lonely wife
Is the cherished stage of her active life;
Each scene is recalled in memory's BEAM
As she sits by the window in .pensiye dream
| And ioys and woes roll back like a tide
| In that little low hut by the rivers side.
Ny mother-alone by the rivers side
| She waits for the flood of the heavenly TIDE,
| And the voice that shall thrill her heart with
its call. :,
| To meet once more with the dear ones all,
| And form in region beautihed.
| The band that once met by the rivers side.
That dear old hut by the rivers side,
| With the warmest pulse of my heart is allied,
| And a glory is over its dark wall thrown,
| That statelier fabrics have never known,
| And shall love with fonder pride
That little low hut by the rivers side.
