PAssIyisM.--A correspondent sends
US q scathing article agaias, the do
nothing policy Of the National Demo.
cratic Committee. But we shall have
to possess our sOu's 10 patience, as moth
ing is likely to be done before the Alb
of July. This appears to be- the pre-.
sent determination Of the Committee,
aud oothias that eau be said is likely
TO move them from their purpose. 1t
seems that We arc to ambush the enemy,
10 the present campaign, instead of at
taeking him openly and fairly 10 front
This ia preferable to a surrender, which
at one time seemed altogether probable.

Parton's Life of Greeley.

One Of TIE most interesting and valuable OF
American biographies, is tbs Life OF Horace
Greeley" by James Parton. The life OF Mr.
Greeley has been most closely interviewer with
what has been most commanding in American
affairs for more than third of a century. ln-
deed, this story Of his life gives the reader by
10 means an inadequate glimpse OF American
history for the past thirty years. 1t Is the
story of life that commenced in the greatest
obscurity, and has grown into the greatest emf
nence. 1t has been busy life, the busiest,
probably, in the land, crowded with events,
fulo brave words and generous deeds, and
marked by peculiarties greater and character
istics stronger than, perhaps, those oil any other
American Citizen.
The subject, therefore, would command re-
spectful and eager attention, though handled
by an unskllful pen. But Mr.. Parton is a
master. He has long been widely known IN
our literature. lie is keen and brilliant es-
sayest an ncisiye and sparkling writer OF
English, and a careful and exhaustive Searcher
after facts. lie does not touch pen to paper
in the composition of book, till the entire
field of investigation has been explored, every
thing directly bearing on his theme thoroughly
digested.
Ia preparing this work, he spent several
months in visiting the town where Mr. Greeley
was born and the various places where he sui
sequehtly lived, collecting all the information
about his early life that it was possible to OBJ
tain. 1t is not therefore, hastily or lily con-
triyed book, labeled Life of Greeley" but a
work which will always be the authoritative
record Of the thrse-score years Of Mr.. Greeley
life that have passed into history. 1t would
be a valuable addition to any library at any
time, but, just now, its opportuneness gives it
added interest "''
It's elegantly bonnd, well illustrated and
in consideration Of The great popular demand
for the work It is sold for little more than
half the ruling book prices.
1t is published by the NATIONAL PUB
LlSHING CO., Cincinnati, who want agents
il every County.

THE UYCHANGEABLE.

The seasons come and 60,
The ocean murmurs in its ebb and flow,
Stars wend their way through trackless space,
The moon rolls up and shows her placid face,
And all things change but Thee, Creator, King
Of all that is, the sole exhaustless spring.
In sunshine and in shower,
On sandy wastes and in the rose-clad bower,
Alike we greet Thy presence; and the streams
That make the meadow bright with flashing
CLEANS
Have their sweet tale to tell of Him whose hand
Made their green pathway through the pleasant
land.
.' Friends falter Gt our side
" ealth vanshes, hopes die, life's whelming tide
Strands our irail bark upon a hostile shore,
But Thou art there and changeess evermOre.
Ay, Thou art there the Rock within whose shade
The weary wanderers feet in peace are stayed.
-.t Unto mans restless heart
What glad assurance does the truth imPart
That Thou mid ceaseless change art changeles
still,
Guiding, controlling good and i'll,
And drawing him by gentlest ties to leave
With Thee each burden and the thoughts tha
grieye.
o, Refuge always nigh
And never sought in yain 10 Thee VIC hy
When tempest-tOssed, deceived, or tempted sore
We pine for the deep rest that evermore
Awaits the heart that finds Thee; send Thy ray
Down through the shadows that eclipse our way
