to thank Senator Morton. His res.
oIution calling for information as

management which. though it may
receive the appreciation OF Heaven,
will never be forgiven by the Dem

hardly have passed bu; for the ex-

its moral force alone, in a great
degree restored peace and secured
obedience to the laws in the South;
and what is more. has saved the
Republican party in that section
from being crushed out by mob
violence, and q reign of terror.

TWO HONEST MEN.

David Davis, one of the early
citizens of Lewiston, Me-, now
gone to his reward, was a most ex-s
cellent Quaker-a man of unspot-
ted integrity. Some time before
his death, lie went to his son-in-
law, A. Wakefield, and said to
him:
Il hear there is q posture for
sale (naming it) for 800, and l
believe I'll buy it, .,,..
He bought it, but he told the
owner that it was worth $125, aud
paid the owner that price for it
Shortly after, the person of whom
Davis bought the pasture, wanted
loan of $40, and Davis granted
him the loan, taking his note for
that sum. Before long, Davis was
taken i'll, and feeling that it was
his last illness. he called Wake
field to his side, and said to him:
q have a note of $40 against
A.. and l want thee, after l
am gone, to destroy it,
Wakefield, wondering, asked an
explanation, he said:
.'Thee knows I bought that pas
ture Of A., and l didn't pay
him as much as it was worth, and
I don't feel that he ought to pay
me that note.'
But said Wakefield, you paid
him all, and more than he asked for
the land
Yes said Davis, 'that is true,
but it makes no difference. 1t is
worth $40 more than l paid him,
and l want that note destroyed
Shortly after, Davis passed away,
and Wakefield, in the performance
Of his duty as administrator, look
ing up the deceased's effects, came
upon this note. 1t was q good
note for $40 but, in accordance
with the old Quaker's dying re-
quest. he threw it into the Fl e.
| Not very long after, A., o1
whom the pasture was bought
called on Wakefield.
You've got something against
me. haven't your
'What is it for ? said Wake
field
L gave note to Davis for $40
money borrowed Of him, and
want to pay it.
i have got no such a note said
Wakefield
But this estate certainly hold:
such a no:e against me-
Very soon Wakefield explained
the mystery. and tears rolled dowl
the astonisfed mans face as b.
learned that the note bad beel
burned "a witness to the wonder
full conscientiousness and integri
ty Of the sure-footed Quaker, on
of the worthy first settlers Of Lew

age-the more the better
