Tha LATE Storm.

Details of the late fearful storm are be-
ginning to reach US. The Dubuque Times
gives us the following particulars, some
of which seem almost incredible:
"The storm of last week in this section
was ETHEREAL mildness' compared TO what
was experienced III Minnesota. There,
not only were trains showed under, smoke
stacks and all, but the snow SO drifted and
piled, that men stepped over the top of
telegraph poles. a party of men working
westward from New Ulm, discovered the
frozen body Of a man five feet under the
snow-and he was sitting in his wagon!
He was distant but twenty rods from the
Nicollet depot. Another man was found
frozen with his hand on his barn door,
which he was trying to open, but a snow
drift had prevented him. Other such
cases are reported, too numerous and too
horrible to mention.

was amended to read "In all suits by

other necessarieS, the libellant may pro-
ceed against the ship and freight IN rem
or against master or owner alone in pers0-
man." applies whether supplies were fur
nishied, or repairs made before or after the
rule was amended. This decision is adj

Arkansas Vindicated.

AS the Republicans of the Arkansas
Legislature, with entire unanimity, have
taken the initiatOry step to remove the
disqualifications from the constitution
about which so much has been said, they
have fairly vindicated themselves and
their friends throughout the country from
the charge of seeking to deny to white
men of the South the right of franchise
extended to the blacks. 1t is time for the
Democratic journals of the country to
make note of the fact, and to do justice to
the Republicans of Arkansas, who have
been so shamefully slandered in this con-
nection.- Hash. Chronicle.

THE CHILDREN.
BY RICHARD EEALE.

Do you love ME, little children
y bright blooms that are curled,
(Life's tender morning glorics-)
Round the easements of tho world /?
Do your hearts climb up toward me.
Asmy own heart bends to you,
In the beauty of your dawning,
And the brightness of your dew?
When the fragrance Of your faces,
And the rhythm of your feet,
And the incense of your voices,
Make glad the sombre street
Do you see my soul move softly
Forever, where you move,
With an eye of benediction
And lifting hand of love?
o, my darlings! / am with you
In your trouble, in your play,
In your sobbing and your singing,
In your dark and in your day;
In the chambers where you nestle,
In the novels where you lie;
In the sunlight where you blossom,
Ard the blackness where you die.
Not blessing brocds above you,
DuL IL HIS nc from Inc SEOuHus
Not thistle barb doth sting you,
But l suffer with the wound;
And chord within me trembles
To your slightest touch or tone,
And l famish when you hunger,
And / SILVER when you moan.
l have trodden all the spaces
OF my heavy years alone,
And have never felt tho cooling
OF a babes breath near my own;
But with more than father passion,
And with more than mother pain,
l have loved you.-Little children,
Do you love me back again?

There are those who maintain that we should

brighter prospect of defeat of regular nominal

process the nineteenth time
Our friend of the Union is prone to !,
gloomy view of the political future, which
we hope does not extend to his spiritual
hereafter. We don't know what kind of a
world this would be if those who have
been unsuccessful in the past, but yet
knew they were right, had lain down in
the furrow. The democratic party ruled
this country for sixty years because the
followers of Jefferson and Jackson were
men who had tenacity Of purpose The
abolitionists endured abloquy and defeat
for half Il century, and achieved at last the
most wonderful success in political history,
1t is eighteen hundred years since the
Saviour appeared on earth, and yet to-day
the pagans and unbelievers outnumber His
followers. Yet the course advised by the
L Mon would lead us to abandon religion
because its followers are not in Il majority.

Hitherto all parties have been content to

fess to IA desire that this work may be
carried out by the good old democratic
party. Its members should welcome all
good men who desire to stand with them
and battle for the right 1t is not wise to
insist upon disbanding this organization,
so numerous, so fixed in principle, and so
thoroughly unselfish in its efforts at re
form
If so be that in the course of time and
the development of events it shall come
to pass that the grand old party is to pass
away and be no more, there will be many
who will look sadly and sorrowfnlly
upon its grave. And for one we shall
much rather see it melt slowly and silently
away, as an army whose veterans, honor
ably discharged, may still remember how
fields were won, than behold it 90 rashly
to a suicides death.
