DIED.


Near Paint Chapel. Fayette County. Ohio, on
the Sth inst, NAN EASTMAN, aged 81 years.
For ten years devoted member of the Metho-
dist Church, her life evinced the truth of the
ligion she proFessed and her death was happy
and triumphant Amiable, kind, and active in
doing good, her influence was strongly felt in So
ciety and all keenly felt her loss. But she rests
from her labors and her works do follow her"
The following lines were sent her by a friend,
and she requested them published, with the no
tice OF her DEATH
There is no death the leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away.
They only wait through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no deaJnI a.. --e,.l form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread.
lie bears our best loved friends away,
And then call them dead o."
He leaves hearts all desolate,
He plucks fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
And when He sees a smile too light
Or hearts too pure for taint and vice,
He bears them to that world oflight
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With joy we welcome them the same
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread.
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there is no dead. ANNA.

To those who are bowed down /

To those who are bowed down by
nervous debility, and despair of ever recov-
ering the vigor and mien of manhood, we
earnestly recommend DR.. Walkers Cali
fornia Vinegar Bitters. Before they have
finished the first bottle, they will feel the
restorative principle at work in every por-
ton of their broken down systems, and hope
will spring up in their hearts. No case of
Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Intermittent Fever,
IsfsoIFlset tisifa, Gor1t -or-lsidney disease, can
resist this unequalled vegetable tonic which
is unpolluted by any distilled or fermented
liquor. 7W4

Hereafter all subscribers will be notified
at the end of the time for which their sub

Ponemos aqul, dice Ey Comercio, la
parte del discurso pronunciado ell dia %
en- ell Congreso por ell Sr. Presidente del
Consejo de ministries, en- la cual trato la
question de Utramar.
Al pie del discursc Sc veran los inciden-
tes parlamentarios que di6 lugar.
Dijo asl ell ST.. Sagasta:
No Sc pue1e hablar de las provincias
de Ultramar sin que venga a la magma
cion INN ,diatamente la isla de Cuba. Exis-
ten aun ALI los rcstos de una vandalica
insurreccion que lleva va mas de tres amos
de existencia, causando en- verdad impa-
ciencia justa, pero limitada va, gracias al
valor y sufrimiento de nuestro elercito, &
la lealtad y vigilancia de nuestra marina
y a la actitud energica y decisiva de los
voluntarios de Ultramar; de los volunta-
rios, senores diputados, cuyo desarme he
visto con sentilniento pedir por algunos
que Sc llaman espanoIes y que ocupan el
banco del legislator.
Pero circunscrita va, repito, a algunas
gavillas de rebeldes, liinitadas acsso por
complete un solo departamento, al de-
partamento Oriental, y aun en- este dentro
de montanas virgenes, en- cuya espesura
1nicamente pueden encontrar defensa, Ell
gobierno tiene la satisfaction de anunciar
q los senores diputados que la insurreccion
puede darse va casi por terminada, y tie
ne y abriga la esperanto de que sera del
todo aniquilada fines de la ,campana de
invierno, qle con tan buen exito Sc esta
llevando cabo
Pero mientras la insurreccion dure,
mientras haya un rebelde, que grite inue
ra Espana!, ell gobierno no tiene otro pen
samiento que salvar la integridad nacional
a todo trance cueste 10 que costare; que
la Espana, antes de dejar perder un peda-
20 de territorio, ha de gastar su 1ltimo
cartucho y derramara su Ultima gotta de
sangre.
Ell gobierno, pues, no. solo esta resuelto,
81 necesario fuera, mandar ALI todos los
recursos del pals, yEspana cuenta con mu
chos recursos cuando Sc trata de su honra,
de su independence y de su integridad,
sino que esta decidida adoptar medidas
severas dentro de las leyes, contra los trai

THE PRESS.

There must be something very simple
or loveable, or a vast deal of demure impu-
dence, in the man who can fancy he has
anything new to say about the Press in
general. We, for our part, are neither
simpler nor impudent enough to advance such
pretensions. Any serious discussion on the
subject would seem like reviewing with a
schooi-boy some passage of history belong
ing to a time winch we are apt to consider
with a certain shrug of the shoulder. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether the true state
ofthe c2SeiS very well understood whether
many can tell clearly how far the liberty
Of the Press extends, how far it is a deIu-
sion, and how far a reality. Statesmen
differing widely in opinion on almost every
other matter, have yet acknowledged the
inestimabIe value Of a free press. We have
