SUNBEAM LOVE

A darling little infant
Was playing on the floor,
When suddenly sunbeam
Came through the open door,
Aud striking on the carpet
1t made little dot; :
The dearling baby saw il
And crept up to the spot.
His little face was beaming
With . world Of perfect joy,
As il An angels presence
Had filled the littl, boy;
And with his tiny finger,
As in fairy dream,
He touched the dot Of sunshine
And followed up the beam. is
He looked up to his mother
To share his infant bliss;
Then stopped and gave the sunbeam
A pure, sweet, baby kiss. .e44
@ Lord, our heavenly Fatherl
In the fullness of my joy,
pray that childlike feeling.
May never leave the boy;
But in the days Of trial.
When sin allures his youth,
Send out the light to guide him
The sunbeams OF thy truth;
And may his heart be ever
a. To thee An open door,
Through which thy truth as sunbeams,
s Make joy upon 1ife's floor.

General Grant certainly has
been as satisfactory a President
as Washington or Jefferson, or
Jackson. or Lincoln. The country
proposes to honor him as these
other statesmen were honored.
The witches break out into
clamor OF denunciatton and cry
out their tavern scandals, which
nobody believes, and they do not
believe themselves.
One or two Of the graver ones
say: We do not suggest General
Grant for re election, because We
are in favor of the principle of enc
term for Presidential candidates
This is a principle, is it? Let us
grant that. Why then. force this
princil lie upon the country at
time when it's advocacy is an act
of injustice to Grant? This sprin-
ciple' did not prevent Mr.. Greeley.
Mr.. Sumner, and, in fact, the
whole tribe Of witches from cup :
porting Mr.. Lincoln. II this faith
was strong in them, Why did thev
consent TO Mr.. LincDln's election2
If their devotion to the principle
was Of an elastic, temporary, ac-
commodating nature. Why advance
it now? We think Mr.. Conkling,
as the friend Of the President, made
a mista ke' in considering the .cne
term principle as in any way re-
flecting upon Grant. He should
have said, Let us have the whole
one term doctrine prepared and
discussed at the proper time. II
it is wise We can adopt it; il not
reject it. You bring it forward
now not AZ q principle, but an in.
trigue. You knew we'll the custom
of the country has been to re-elecl
chief magistrates who were
worthy. Why should that custom
be broken TO enable you to visi,
your resentment upon Genera
Grant? If this is really princi
plea deeply cherished convic
tion-you are taking tho cours.
that will most surly destroy it
for you bring it forward as an in
trigue. q scheme, an expedient
mcnt to deny Grant his due honor
and ycu compel every one OF hi
friends, whether they agree will
you or not, to oppose your princi
ple.' This 10 the ground upol
which to discuss the one tern
; question. It does not belong t,
the present canvass, and the prope
: course Of General Grants friend
to take is to consider it an adjourn
; ed issue, and to insist that by la,
and custom. by an example a
