He Felt Her Pull.

They had Sunday School celebra-
ton in enc Of our churches week or
two age, ,and the minister made speech
to the children, in which he endeavored
to teach them the nature of Faith. So
he told them the following story,by way
of illustration:
''In the deepening twilight of sum-
mer's evening, a pastor called at the
residence of one of his parishioners,
and found seated in the doorway little
boy with hands extended upward, hold
ing line
"What are you doing here, my little
friend ?" inquired the minister.
"Flying my kite, sir" was the prompt
reply.
"Flying your kite" exclaimed the
pastor, 81 can see no kite-you can sec
none"
Il can not sec it, but l know it is
there, for feel it pull!''
The children were all deeply interest
ed and the clergyman continued.
"Now, in few days after this, the
mother of the little boy was about te
die, and she said to him "My son
when l am an angel l will come if l car
and be with you, and shield you from
harm, and watch to see that you grow
up to be a good man. viii you try tc
think, sometimes, that l am by YOU

would"
'Now, dear Children" said the minis
ter, ''when that blessed angel came bacl

TIE NEW CHURCH ORGAN.
BY WILL NJ CARLETON.

They've got bran new organ, Sue,
For all their fuss and search;
They've donejust as they said they'd do,
And fetched it into the hurch.
They're bound the critter shall lie seen,
And on the preachers right,
They've hoisted up their new machine
In everybody's sight.
They've got ohorister and choir,
Agin my voice and voto;
For it never was my desire,
To praise The Lord by note!
I've been sister good an true,
For five an thirty year;
I've done what seemed my part to do,
An prayed my duty clear;
I've sung the hymns both slow an quick,
Just as the prolchor read
An twice, when Deacon Tubbs was sick,
took the fork an led;
And now, their bold, new tangled ways
Is comm all about;
An I, right in my latter days,
Am fairly crowded out!
To-day the preacher, good old dear,
With tears in all his eyes.
Read-"I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies."-
al'ays like that blessed hymn
Is'pose al'ays WILL
Ii somehow gratiies my whim,
In good old Ortonville;
But when the choir got to sing,
1 couldn't catch a word;
They sung the most dog-gondest thing
A body ever heard!
Some worldly chaps was staudin' near,
An when seed them grin,
bid farewell to every fear,
An boldly waded in.
thought I'd chase their tune along,
An tried with all my might;
But though my voice is good and strong,
l couldn't steer 1t right;
When they was high, then was low,
Andalso contra'wise;
And too fast, or they too slow,
To mansions in the skies"
An after every verse, you know,
They played little tune;
I didn't understand, an so
/ started it too SOON
pitched it pretty middlin' high,
fetched lusty tune;
But oh, alas! I found that
Was singin' there alonel
They laughed a little, I am told;
But had done my best;
An not a wave of trouble rolled,
Across my peaceful breast.
And sister Brown-I could but look
She sits right front of me;
She never was no singin' book,
An never want to be;
But then she al'ays tried to do
The best she could, she said;
She understands the time, right through,
An kept it with her head;
But when she tried this mornin', oh,
had to laugh, or cough!
1t KEEP her head bobbin' SO,
It e'en almost came OH.
AM Deacon Tubbs-he all broke down,
As one might well suppose,
He took one look at sister Brown,
An meekly scratched his nose.
He looked his hymn book thro' an thro'
An laid it on the seat,
An then a pepsive sigh he drew,
An looked completely beat;
An when they took another bout,
He didn't even rise;
But drawed his red bandanner out,
An wiped his weepin' eyes.
I've been a sister, good an true,
For FIVE an thirty year;
I've done what seemed my part to dc,
AM prayed my duty clear;
But death will stop my voice, know,
For he is on my track;
An sOmeday, to church will 60,
An never more come back;
AM when the folks get up to sing
Whene'er that time shall be
do not want no patent thing
A squealin' over mel
Our Fireside Friend.

EincOln's Dream.

The President remarked that the news
would come soon, and come favorably,
he had no doubt, for he had last night
his usual dream which had preceded
nearly every important event of the
war. l inquired the particulars of this
remarkable dream. He said it was in
my department-it related to the water
that he seemed to be in singular and
indescribable YES ,el, but always the
same, and that he was moving with.
great rapidity toward dark and indefi.
mite shore; that he had had this singu.
lar dream preceding the firing on Sdfa:
ter, the battles Of Bull Run, Anticiam,
Gettysburg, Stone River, Vicksburg,
Wilmington, etc Gen. Grant remark.
ed, with some emphasis and asperity,
that Stone River was no victory-that
a few such victories would have ruined
the country, and he knew Of no impor-
tant results from it. The President
said that perhaps he should not alto
gether agree with him, but whatever
might be the facts, his singular dream
preceded that fight. Victory did not
always follow his dream, but the event
and results were important. He had no
doubt that battle had taken place or
WAS about being fought, "and Johnston
will be beaten, for | had this strange
dream again last night. 1t must relate
to Sherman, my thoughts are in that
direction, and I know of no other very
important event which is likely just now
to occur"
Great events did indeed follow With
in a few hours the good and gentle as
well as truly great man who narrated
his dream was assassnatcd, and the
murder which closed forever his earthly
career affected f0r years, and perhaps
fiorcycf, the welfare of his country

A short time ago the Iowa City

which is intended as check to the
disorganizing course of some individ-
ual members OF the. party:
TO the Democracy Of Io,oa: :
Since the elections in October sew

sociated with its history in the day Of
its power, when place and Office were

Very few readers of the daily press
but have noted the sudden change in
the positions of the TammaDy leaders,
caused by the exposure OF the frauds
with which they were Unidentified, and
yet remarkable as seemed their fall, it
was the natural sequence to the ca
reer of dishonesty they had run
That their detections and prosecution
was not out OF the regular order of
things therefore gives assurance that
others equally guilty will in good
time feel the halter draw, and like
Tweed and his associates be dragged
from the highest pedestals, where they
now seem entrenched in corruption.
to expiate their offences against law
and justice as ordinary criminals.-
Indeed the parallel between Grant
and Tweed runs SO closely that it
would not be, an eighth wonder to
find change come over his dreams
I'm the next six monthsj as disagree
able to his feelings and disastr Gus to
his aspirations as has been the expert
ence of the past half year to the once
formidable chief Of Tammany. We
have but to analyze the two to dis
cover how closely they resemble each
other in disposition, inclination, and
traits Of character, aud how like have
run the channel of their lives.
/. Ten years ago both Tweed and
Grant were poor; now they are both
millionairs. Both went into Office as
poor as church mouse; both have
gained their wealth by gifts and
brides.
2. Both have made abundant pro-
visions for their relatives by appoint
ing them to Office. In this regard
Grant is ahead. but both are alike as
two cherries, the President only hav-
ing the larger family of the two to
provide for.
3. Both are credited with receiving
presents from people who hold Office
under them.
4. Both have been engaged in fur
nishing supplies for the public SER
vice. Tweed owned stock in the
"Stationers" and other corporations,
and Grant in the "Scneca Sandstone,
and other companies.
5. Both are alike in the company
they keep. Tweed's bosom compan-
ions were Tom. Fields, Alex. F'rear,
and the like, while Grants are not
such men as Sumner, Trumbull, and
Schurz. Tweed consorts with knayes
Grant with Tom Murphy, Jim Fisk,
Butler, and Nye.
6. When Tweed was supervisor he
would spend months ut time away
from the city, and Grant is accustom-
ed TO spend months together away
from Washington with notoriously
vile characters at Long Branch and
other places.
Z. Both Tweed and Grant have
gained wealth by lending their ip-
iiuence TO creating corners in gold
and greenbacks. Tweed has worked
through various banks of which he
was director; Grant through Fisk
and Gould. Who has forgotten that
Black Friday speculation Who has
forgotten how Grant promised the
chief conspirators not to sell gold, or
what General Garfield said, that "the
President proposed not to see the
testimony, or to make any sugges.
tions or statements in regard to It."

SHARP CONTRASTS.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, which is very infuen-
tial Republican journal, writes some
very interesting facts about certain
occurrences at Richmond, Va. These
facts are the more interesting, because
they show strong contrast between
certain characters.
It seems that when the Confederate
government was removed from Mont
gomery to Richmond, early in the
war, the city authorities of the veal
thy capital of Virginia purchased
one of the most elegant mansions in
the city. had the title papers all made
out in the name of the Confederate
President, JEFF. Davis, and, on a cer-
tain occasion, says the correspond
ent, 'sa formal presentation of the
property was then made by the City
Council, when, much to their sur
prise and modification, he Davis
respectfully, yet firmly refused the
present. He warmly thanked the
city authorities in his behalf, yet he
could not, consistent with his own
self respect, and the dignity of his
office, accept the gift"
Again, says the correspondent
ssAt the beginning of the war mum.
ber of wealthy citizens of Richmond
made up handsome sum of money
to buy Gen. Lee a house suited to
his station and rank. But he refused
to accept the proffered present, and
the money was refunded to the sub
sribers." - v
One more example. Soon afte,
Andy johnson became President,
certain citizens of New York com.
bined and rendered him a present oi
a very fine carriage and horses. The
| President, in very respectful and
courteous terms, declined to accept
the gift.
/ Now let the reader reflect upon
these examples of self-denial, and Of
high personal self-respect, and oi
respect for the delicacy and dignity
Of official position. in contrast with
the greedy appetite and "itchine
palm" of President Grant. Which
j line Of conduct is the more dignifedi
and which displays the greater dig
!. nifty of character? Has Grant ever
!, refused anything offered to him in the
/, way of present? IF SO, let it be
recorded. In the light of Grants
conduct, those old Confederates and
Andy johnson were great FOOLS
