Higher.
BY MRS. W. W. THOMAS.

When the golden orb at daybreak
Trod its regal path of fire,
Sweet a dying child was Whispering,
" Higher papa raise me higher"
So far up on snowy pillows,
Soft the sunny head WAS lain,
Tender hearts in anguish waiting
By the couch now free from pain.
Never human smile was brighter
As she gazed upon the sky,
Saying, with her white arms lifted
40, tits beautiful to die!
Tho the light of morn is glowing,
can see the Endless Day,
Gates are opening, angels calling,
Child of earth, oh come away
am near radiant city
Raise me, for long to see,
Who with harps and shining raiment
Sing such welcome unto me!
" lIigherw And the strong arms gathered
Round her in fond embrace,
Bore her upward till the vision
Kept no more her eager face.
Till the glittering sunshine round her
Like a benedicton stole,
Till the glorious sun of Heaven
Streamed across her sanity soul.
Higher, papaw sweetly calling.
Higherw yet once more she said
But there fell holy silence,
And the child of love was dead.
Far away from hearts that sorrowed
Wings had plured their flight at length,
Leaving earth love but to rest in
Arms of everlasting strength.
So they robed their precious darling
For her rest in garments white,
Raining tears upon her bosom,
Kisses on her forehead bright.
And the village bell tolled sadly
Up and down the wood-paths wild
OF n bed beneath the daisies
For the cherished winsome child.
Now the leng, bright noon of summer
Finds her mid the flowers no more,
Yearning hearts will fold her only
On calm Eternal shore.
There her sweet face hath new glory,
Sings she by the sea Of glass,
While this life's uneven threshold
YEARLY their feet repass;
But deep spell lies unwoven
In each heart, with each desire,
And a voice seems ever saying,
Higher, papa, come up higher.

them if they dared again enter the mines

peated notice that he would be shot if he
dared show his head in the streets at
night, and that Union miners, infuriated
at his working were on the watch to
make Thursdays work cost him his life.

threatening epistles, and they werv hooted
at, insulted and threatened in numerous
ways.

THE Press aud Herald, of yesterday
contains an attack, by implication, if not
directly, upon large and respectable de-
nomination of the Christian Church,
speaking of them as "new order of
priesthood" and charging that they took
charge of churches by sort of "politico-
religious right, The idea of that menda-
cious sheet giving advice to or criticising
the acts of any Christian denomination is
simply preposterous, and will be so regard
ed by all who are acquainted with its char
acter and the character of its editors and
proprietors, If we were disposed to join
in controversy on the subject, we could
show two sides to the question that that
sheet presents in a one-sided way, but we
do not intend to discuss the subject, be-
lieving that the columns of a political pa
per are not the place for such discussions.

made some time since, l examined the Senate

ported to him that it contained $4,000 ems of
composition, and that each 500 copies contained
20 tokens of press-work and-ineluding the usu-

These appendices are exactly alike
printed from the same type; not for the
Senate and House, but for the State, 500
copies being labelled ''Senate Appendix"
and 500 copies, 'House Appendix. "
Now suppose upon their construction Of the
Ian and former usage, these gentlemen
can make the country believe they had
the legal right to charge four times for the
same composition, under what pretense do
they undertake to justify their charge for
