At the residence Of her husband, in
81. Inigoes' district, on the Goth inst.
MARY JANE LILBURN, beloved wife
of John Gray Lilhurn, in the +ith year
Of her age.
Alas all must die. Little did we
think that SO soon we would be called
upon to record the death of our dear
friend. a short while since, she was
ENJOYING full health and vigor. filling
the hearts Of her family with JOY AID
delight by her cheerful presence, when
suddenly disease seized upon her. and.
ike the once beautiful leaves of Sum-
mcr, she began to fade: and, although
thus early bowed down with affection.
she submissively bore her trials, always
placing her trust in Heaven. The vio-
lence of her disease increasing. she felt
the breath of the Angel upon her brow,
whispering joyously to her soul. and
when the rude frosts of Autumn were
scattering the once green leaves. she
answered the whispers, and settiGs
around the family altar. looking upon
those more dear to her thln al the earth

beside, she fold them, shat ere the
dark curtain Of night was drawn, her
eyes would close TO open no more upon
things of earth" and she saw the beau
tiful sun rise in the Heavens which set
upon her hfeiess form.
Oh how sad il is to realize that she,
whose happy smile and eonso,ing words
often added to our pleasure viii re-
ioice with us no more, that those loving
eyes, the reflex of her cheerful heart,
are closed for long. lorg sleep She
was truly tie life Of the household, q
fond and devoted wife. loving, watch
full mother. and true and sincere friend
with heart full Of love and pity for
the poor. She was bright star IN the
community in which she lived and her
virtues will live long in the memory OF
those who knew her best. Our hearts
are flied with grief when we reflect that
she is gone from among Us, vet We are
consolej to know that, although she Is
dead TO this lie, she has only left a
world of SORROW and gone with the An
gels to Heaven.
Deeply as we sympathize with her
sorrow stricken husband and darling
children. we dare not presume to say
that We feel like them, for il is To those
only who have experienced the loss OF
one so dear. to realize the Nhi;ternt S OF
their grief.
Dreary the house, and sad the hours
since our d-ar friend has gone.

Messrs. Editors Il am a poor writer,
having never undertaken such a thing
before; but, on seeing a certain commit
nication in your last issue, could not
remain quiet. 1t seems to me. the wri-
ter, Mr.. Graves, has come out at rath-
err late hour. too late. ! really think. to
derive any benefit, either to himself or
party. He says is he persuaded to be-
lieve. that the recent party change is
only temporary. l have To doubt he
would like to persuade others to believe
the same thing. but as all sensible and
well-thinking men have seen enough TO
convince them how the change came
about. they will not be persuaded tina:
it is only temporary. The people had
come to see the corruption and misrule
in the party and had resolved they
would no longer be led by such leaders.
Just look at tie party. and see if you
can find in it one useful man to the
community? You will find all Office.
seekers in it, except in the iliterate
clas. which mainly compose it. l sup
pose Mr.. Graves must be one Of those
office-seckers who would like to live at
the cost of the public, but We can re-
joicc that his time has passed. never to
return. Mr.. Graves tells Us of noble
patriot. well known tothis nation. whose
deeds are indelibly impressed on the
hearts of all lovers of liberty, heading
a small and heroic band whose obiec,
was to hberate four millions Of human
slaves from the yoke of bondage. Now
this patriot, as he calls him, cen lie nc
less a parsonage than john Brown. q
murderer. Who ever heard of robl,
patriot going in the dead of night to
spread death and desoia.ion among his
fellow men: l think the gentleman
mus. be delirious, or, as Festus said tc
Paul, beside himself. He further says
Ito use his own words) that the nam,
of that man will pass into history as
that of great and good one. while
those Of his crs,ci6ers viii find a NOR.
appropriate place by the side Of thoss
who prosecuted human liberty in the
most benighted ages Of the world.
really didsnot think there was another
John BrQnn on earth, much less on the
soil of old St. Mary's. 1t is to hoped
that he is alone, which 1 am satisfied
be is, if not, the public at large are in
danger. If there was such a man IL
our neiehborhood, / would feel myself
in danger and make myself ready fol
any emergency. Let us rejoice that We
are gaining ground and cherish tbs
hope that we shall soon wrench thi
reins of government from corrupt hand'
and once more have a prosperous ma
ton with honest men again to legislat,
for US in Congress, and all again vii
flourish.

WESTMINSTER REvIEw.-The reprint
ofthe Westm meter Rerier for October has
Just been published by THs LEONARD
Scorr PuBLIsHIxa CO.. Al Barclay
Street. New-York. Our space will al
low us to do little more than mention
the articles which make the present
number unusually interesting.
1. 1.-THE Revolt of the Residuum."
An exposition of causes of the fall Of
the Gladstone Administration.
III. The Character of Achilles
A portrait Of the typical Greek hero,
who more than any character of fiction
represents the qualities of the Greek
race In its heroic age"
Art. III. reviews Prof. Cairnes' re-
cent work on some leading principles
Of Political Economy" The reviewer
mainly confines himself to discussion
of the theory of wages, the subject of
value, and international trade.
Art. ". is devoted to recent Theo-
ries on the Origin and Development of
Language, and compares and discus
ses the opinions of Max Muller, Farrar,
Darwin, and Hewitt Key. The review
er contends that the faculty of language
is not special endowment abruptly
bestowed, but is the result of GRADUAL
Developments; he claims it as "concen-
ital to man-born with him; hut it is
only eongenital as beard and NOUS
tache are congenital.'
V. Charles and Mary Lamb" The
imperfections of all editions of their
works ars pointed out, Mary Lambs
memory having hitherto suffered great
neglect.
Art. VI. exhibits a very defective
system of administration with respect
to Indian Public Works.
Art. VII. takes up Dr. Clarke's re-
--4G.t work on Sex in Education" and

THE CcLoaEp VorE.-The New York
TTme., the leading Republican Journal
of the country, referring to the fact
that the colored men divided their votes
at the recent elections between the
Democrats and Republicans in the
South, well remarks: 1T may be po-
iitical heresy. but we confess that the
division Of the negro vote is to US an
encouraging fact in the recent elections.
1t is especially encouraging when, as
in South Carolina, the division was
effected BY an appeal to the negroes
to rebel against their former leaders II
order to secure honest government.

I'VE Board Of Managers Of the National Asr.

The Board Of Managers of the National Asy-
lums for Disabled Soldiers held its annual meet
ing in Washington Tuesday. Chief Justice
Waite, who is, sr-o6fco, a member Of the board,
was also present. The board will ask Of Con-
gress an appropriation Of 100000 to support
the Soldiers Homes during the next year. More
applications are received this Winter for admit
tance to the homes than at any previous time, ow-
ing to the depression in business, which has
driven to the asylums many who in prosperous
times have found employment by which they
could support themselves, notwithstanding their
disabled condition. The law of last Winter ad-
hitting soldiers of the Mexican war has operated
to place in the homes quite q number of men who
fought in the Confederate army. Some members
Of the board will not oppose proposition to ad-
NIT soldiers Of the Confederacy equal terms
with soldiers Of the Union, which will no doubt
be made within the next two or three years
