Boutwell,.

The honorable Secretary of the Treasury re-
Gently made a speech in Ohio, in which he
gave flattering statement of Uncle Sans ti-
nancial affairs, the management of which is
pretty much in Boutwell's hands.
The New York Herald thinks that bis talk
about financial reform is but an electioneerlng
dodge. If that be so, there are more OF these
" artful dodgers" than the Secretary of the
Treasury, for Deano, and all the campaign
orations of the season, are singing the same old
tune to lul the popular disquietude.
The policy Of the administration is to keep
the taxes at high figure in order to give pro-
lection to the manufacturers. 1t may be that
the Great West will see this matter in its true
light ere next fall, and vote accordingly.
The Baltimore Sun truly says "werc it not
for the wonderful resources Of the country and
the surprising industry OF the people, MIR.
Boutwell, would find himself in an embarrass-
ing situation. Whatever good he may have
done has been forced upon him. As minister
of finance be is a failure"

Our Mother.

Round the idea of ones mother the mind oil
q man clings with fond affection. 1t is the
first thought stamped on our infant hearts
when yet soft and capable Of receiving tho
most profound impressions, and after the feel
ings of the world are more or less light In
comparison. Even in our old age we look
back to that feeling as the sweetest we have
through life. Our passions and our wilIful-
ness may lead us far from the object OF our
love; we learn even to pain her heart, to op-
pose her commands; we may become wild,
beadstrong and angry at her counsels or oppo-
sition but when death has stlled her monito-
ry voice, and nothing but still memory re-
mains to recapitulate her virtues and good
deeds, affection, like flower beaten to the
ground by past storm, raises up her head
and smiles among her tears. Round that idea,
as we have said, the mind clings with fond
affection and even when the early period oil
our loss, forces memory to be silent, fancy
takes the place Of remembrance, and twlnes
the image Of our dead parent with garland ol
graces and beauties, and virtue which we
doubt not she possessed.

Down the Hill.

The evening Of every mans life Is coming on
apace. The day Of life will soon be spent
The sun, though it may be up in the mid-heav-
en-, will pass swiftly down the western sky,
and disappear. What shall light up mans
path when the sun Of life has gone down p
He must travel en- to the next world; but what
shall illumine his footsteps after the nightfall
of death, amid the darkness of his journey
What question more important, more practi-
cal, more solemn for each reader of our journ-
al to ask himself2 That is long journey to
travel without friend. Yet every man must
perform it. The time is not far distant when
all men will begin the journey. There is an
evening star in the natural world It's radi-
ance is bright and beautiful, and cheering to
the benighted traveller. But life's evening star
is in a good hope Of heaven. Its beauty aud
brilliancy are reflected from the Sun of Right
oousness, whose bright rays light up the even.
ing of life, and throw their radiance quite
across the darkness Of the grave into Imman-
uel's land 1t has illuminated the footsteps Of
many traveller into eternity. 1t is Of price,
less value. A thousand worlds cannot pur-
chase il; ; yet it is offered without money and
without price to him who will penitently and
thankfully receive it.

The Loss of q Wife.

In comparison with the loss Of wife, all
other bereavements sink into nothing. The
wife-she who fills so large a sphere in the do
mestic heaven; she who is busted, so unwea-
ried, in laboring for the precious ones around
her-bitter, bitter is the tear that falls on her
cold clay You stand beside her coffin and
think of the past. 1t seems an amber-colored
pathway, where the sun sbone upon beautiful
flowers, or the stars glittered over head. Fain
would the soul linger there. No thorns are
remembered above that sweet clay, save those
your hand may have unwittingly planted
Her noble, tender heart lies open to your in
most sight. You think of her now as all
gentlsncss, and beauty, and purity. But she
is dead The dear head that lay upon your
bosom rests in the still darkness, upon pill
low of clay. The hands that have administer
ed SO untiringly are folded, white aud cold, be-
meath the gloomy portals. The heart, whose
every beat measured an eternity of love, lies
under your feet. The flowers she bent over
with smiles bend now above her with tears,
shaking the dew from their petals, that the
verdure around her may be kept green and
beautiful.
