A TRUE PRAYER.

, BY THOMAS 5. coLYER.
D
beggar sat by the highway,
Minus an IN and leg:
! "Pity," cried he, give n little 10 ne,
Who can nothing do but beg"
The sun in radiant splendor
Flooded the earth with light;
And from field and void, like shadow, rol!d
Away the curtain OF night.
fine lady. clad in garments
Of silk and shimm'ring lace,
Came riding down from the hillside town,
Near 10 the beggar's place.
Lady, lady, lost an arm,
lost an arm and leg.
WheT. the screaming shell made the earth he'll
And so am forced to beg.
"0nly little from yor store,
Lady, To get me bread:
All, we fought that day as men never mey
Who're afraid 10 JOIN the dead"
The lady turned her glance away,
Her eyes were da. K anu cold;
Aud she rode aong, amid ea tbs glad song,
With Gods sunlight on her gold.
The cleaning gold upon her hands,
And mid her night bu"d hair;
Bui she gave no dole 20 that weary soul.
From tile store she had ~ spile.
Down the -iupe OF the winding road,
\ little maiden came;
The sunlight laughd as MS beams she guard,
AMI crowned her with q sol rdme.
Beyond the brook the school-honse stood,
And there she spent the y,
And she soon did stand pail and book In hand,
By the beggar maimed and gray.
"Pity, my II tie maid," said he,
81 have had nouGht TO rat
This day, aud fear shall perish here,
For leeLly my heart doth beat.
Il lost an arm nv little maid,
lost an arm and leg,
When we storIn'd the height, atthe dawn OF hgh:
And can 40 nothing but beg"
Her pail she empt,e0 IN his lap;
Aud she drew 10, tn the small store
OF money laid by, aid without sign
Gave ull; she could do ho more.
Her eyes g.ew bright for the tears;
Il have 10 more, said she,
'But | " sh had, IL woald make me glad
As glad as e'er could he.
God BLESS you my dear the bcggar said;
The sunlight made reply.
Not a shadOS lay IN the madcn's way,
The earth WAS bright as the SKY,
The act was a truer prayer
Than spoken words can make:
To the GOD above twas an act floyc,
Done. wholly for loves sake.

The Bounty Bill.

The bill to equalize the bounties Of
soldiers who served in the late war failed
to become law, the President withhold
ing his signature. The President did not
think this was proper time, IN view OF
the condition Of the Treasury, to make 50
largo an appropriation on account
of bounties, some calculations pac-
ing the amount from $50, 100000 to
100000, 900. 8yery singular transaction
hos occurred in relation to- the bounty
bill which is likely to require some OK
plana ton. A half hour before the ses-
sion ended, Vice-President Wilson an
bounced to the Senate number of bills
as being duly enrolled and ready for the
signature of the President. When the
titles of the bills were read, the bounty
bill was among them, and the point OF
order was at once made that this bill had
only for a short time before been laid on
the table. The Vice-President said the
objection came too late, as the bill had
been signed. The friends of the bill claim
that the House having agreed to the Sen
ate amendments in Conference Commit
tee, and that the House having adopted
this report, that the bill, therefore, die
not require further action by the Senate
The opponents Of the bill claim that send
ing the bill to the Conference Committee
again brought the matter before the Sen
ate, and that it requires further action b.
the Senate.

the questions and then answer them.
So much for the past; now what shall
we say for ths future? We all know
that our schools are the ouly hope for
the future CT our country, and that
vixen We give our children an ednca-
ton we give them what they cannot
squander, and no one can take it from
them. They then have that which fits
them for honor and influence. 1t
should then lie the aim, as we'll as the
duty OF every parent and citizen to use
the best means to give those who are
coming up to take our places, a chance
to acquire that wealth which no man
can take from them. And in this
connection 1 will state some facts and
make one suggestion, which l wish
your candid consideration. find by
the District Clerks returns, that there
are 400 children in town, 318 of school
age, anu 1S9 between 10 and 20 years
of age. A large proportion Of thai
number have but small chance to at
tend school, not more than II weeks
in the year. Many wsuld be glad tc
give their children q better chance
but the expense Of sending them away
is so great that they are deprived o
what they ought to have, and tina
which we can give them by establish
ing central school agreeablY to al
act passed at she session of the Leg
islature A. d. 1867. This would giv'
the older scholars the advantage Of
term of school at mere Rominal ex
pensc to the town.
The above report was accepted an(
ordered to be printed in the Esse2
County Herald by vote of the town.

the second district by 154 plurality

by IS plurality. Estimating -four
towns in Coos county, not returned
to give the same vote as last year, the
republicans have majority in the
house, but the exact figures can moi
be given. They claim it by from SIX

stand five republicans and five demo

There is no election of Governor by
the people, and the duty of selection
will deyolve upon the Legislature

claim a majority in the Council. Th'

This classification, adds the Sun, brings the
result down to very narrow margin. Demo-
Gratis and Republicans will alike protest
against it; the former because it gives such
States MS Pennsylvania and Ohio to the Re-
publcans, and the latter because it assigns 10
them none of the old slaveholding States eX
cept South Carolina and Louisiana. But,
though we think the rules on which we have
constructed these tables are as sound and
impartial as the case affords, we do not place
implicit reliance upon them, and especially
not when we contemplate the great political
changes of the past twelve months, and re-
member that another twelve months will
intervene before the Presidential election
No doubt the next campaign will be large
ly influenced by the character of the candle
dates. The elections of this year have made
a terrible slaughter of aspirants, and we fam
cy that the name at the head of each ticket
will turn out to be one not now much spoken
Of At all events, according to the prece-
dents, the man who is successful at the bal
lot boxes is pretty sure not to be one whose
pretensions have been hawked around the
country, but some fresh, unobjectionable,
inspiring name that may be taken beforehand
as in some sort presaging victory.

Whereas Our Secretary, DR.. W. Stump For
wood, having recently passed through u long
and painful sickness, and having been providen-
TALLY restored, and able to meet lis again, as Il
faithful member of our Society,
Therefore Resolved, We feel devoutly thankful
to an over'ruliDg Providence for his restoration
to health; and while socially congratulatng
him on his recovery, we trust that his protract.
ed illness and long-tried patience may tend to
render him even more feeling and sympathetic
as physician, for which qualities he is already
distinguished, and enable him thereby TO be-
come still better practitioner of medicine.
The resolution was seconded and unanimous
ly passed.
The Secretary said that lie was unable TO ex-
press the gratitude that he felt for the kind and
unremitting attention he had received from
quite number of the members of the Society
during his sickness. He trusted that they
would accept his heartfelt thanks ; and hoped
that none of them would ever be in condition
TO require like attentions; but ifany should ev-
er be so afflicted he would regard it us pleasure
as well as sacred duty, to administer in like
manner, so far rs in him lay, TO their comfort
and relief.
The hour for adjournment having arrived, the
thanks Of the meeting were extended to Mr..
| Wakeland, the proprietor of the hotel, for his
exceedingly satisfactory entertainment and
DR.. Finney proposed that as Churchville was
Inc most central location in the county, the
meetings should hereafter be regularly held
| there. DIR. Forwood said that the location would
suit him BETTER but, in view of the fact that the
rule heretofore had been to hold the alternate

sent would have an opportunity Of voting upon
