DON'T HURT THE PARTY.
have.

1t is not difficult to understand the feeling
of devotion which some Of the purest patriots
in the country, men of integrity OF purpose
and sincerity of conviction, have for the Re-
publican party organization. 1t is not by any
means strange that the men who began their
political life battling for the great ideas which
have been established by the success of this
party; who fought the fight with it and in it
till victory came, and who have such tender
memories of its small beginnings, of the firm
set ranks, the touching elbows, the unyielding
front: of the files that broadened-Oh, SO
slowly-intO platOOns, then grew into regi-
ments and breades, and at last, with almost
the suddenness of a burst OF artillery,
unfolded TO marching army whose
tread shook the cOntinent-it is not strange
that these men, gathering up such tender and
withal such glorious memories OF great lab0rs
and sacrifices, of grand endeavOrs and high
enthusiasms encountered and enjoyed together,
should cling to the name and the organization
with something like reverence and affection.
Ii is a very human feeling, not merely pardon
able, but in high degree honorable and
worthy of admiration. With men of another
class, those who came into the party late, after
its success was assured, men like Gen. Butler
and Senator Carpenter and President Grant,
this earnestness for the preservation OF the
party requires no explanatiOn-while the party
remains IN power.
The situation in Massachusetts,, where there
is a possibility that the party may not be con-
sidered of supreme Importance in the choice
of a Senator, and in Connecticut, where there
is such a weakening of party ties as endangers
the supremacy of the Administration party in
the State, makes strong appeals to both these

STONE SEPULCHERS.

Near the end of the story Of the JudRn
peasants life, to which the world has been
listening for eighteen centuries, there is q
curious break in silence-from the hour when
He died until the morning of His resurrection ;
according to ordinary computation, from the
afternoon of this day Good Friday until the
dawn .of the approaching Sunday. A rich,
well-meaning Jew, we are told, Joseph, took
the body and placed it during this time in a
new sepulcher in the middle of a pleasant
garden. Christ himself, one of the Apostles
vaguely hints, was meanwhile "preaching to
"the spirits in prison." 1t is easy for any Of
US to picture the dismay and terror of His
disciples during that space of waiting. 1t was
very like to the uncertain cropping condition
of the world now, when He has been gone so
many centuries and so few of US are sure of His
coming again. There were rich men then just as
there are now, who had not found comforts
or luxuries suffice to Gil life; who had begun to
discover, in the words of this inspired teacher
of the ordinary people, something that took
hold of their commonplace days and thoughts,
and linked them to eternity. There were
scholars and philosophers, just as there are now,
who had begun to find a creed in His simple
utterances, before which all other hypothesis
of life and its meaning seemed incomplete and
paltry. And there were, as now, in the back
ground, hordes of the poor and the vicious
and the heather crying, "Does this man bring
% chance for usi Is Death to be as hope
less as life has beepP
In fact, the longer that mere outside OBJ
server regards the condition of the world just
now, the more marked is its likeness to that
silent day. The Son of Mary no longer walks
the streets or by the sea-beach working mir
acles in person. Here is the scientific doubt
of His creed in every paper we open, limiting,
like the mbelieving Jews, that He will not
como again. Here are the sick to be cured,
the dead to be raised. Here, in our own alleys
and tenement-houses in New-York, are multi
tudes OF His poor brethren, who have every
reason to think that He is dead, leaving no
message for them. And here in this and every
other city where rich and well-meaning Chris
tians are TO be found, rise the costly stone ed-
fees in which they seek to honor Him. Ii
may not be amiss even for these teachers of
humanity to use the eyes of laymen now and
then. Christ is indisputably, just now, put
temporarily out of sight of those who need
Him most. From every religious denomination
comes the report that all efforts to preach Him
among the poor, in the half-civiiiEed western
States, and among the negroes and Indians, are
crippled, almost wholly stopped, by the late
monetary panic. Leaving the masses OF our
own poor out of the question, there is on one
side race whom we have held IN slavery
