THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLICAN.
A JOURNAL OF NEWS AND POLITICS.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1878.

The REPUBLICAN will begin the New Year with asub-
.crpton list greatly increased that of any
vious year and with a general business Justifying
enlarged gem for the publication of the best
newspaper IN the West. Having special correspond
ents at all the principal centres and enjoying the
advantages of an extensive telegraph service, its fa
cilites are unrivaed for collecting news. Its corps
of editors and reporters is very full embracing gem
tlemen of experience and admitted excellence in
their several departments. The editorial tone for
which the REPUBLICAN has achieved SO much fame
will be maintained, and, in the discussion of the
current topics of the day, this journal will aim to
enforce its views with consistency and yigor, but
with moderation and candor
Free to comment upon events in the political world
from a stand point of true Western Independence,
the REPUBLICAN will not disappoint those who look
to it to advocate hereafter the conservative doe
trincs for which it has battled long and earn
estly. The usurpations of the Washington admins
tration-prohgac ana reckIessness by those in au-
thOrity-the attempt to perpetuate tyranny by the
Capitalization of powcr-wll meet no toleration,
The emancipation of the South from military and
"carpet-bag" domination-the delverance of the
West from the bondage of the Eastern monopolists
these will be matters of profound concern
slant attention. But with them the development of
the vast material interests of the Mississippi valley
the encouragement ofthe spirit of enterprise and
progress-thc Improvement of our national water
ways-n short, the Inauguration of Western and
southern business policy, will engage large share
of the REPUBLICANS efforts. The paper will strive
to promote the success of proper measures and of
proper men, looking for its reward not to the praise
of party hacks, but to the commentator and en-
couragement of the whole people

The Mothers Prayer.

On a bright winters night, in town leagues away,
A mother and child in poverty dset.
They and forlorn, and each weary.lons day
Made the hunger and cold more piercingly felt.
The dear girl, pretty pearl, on her mothers neck
hung,
Her heart overburdon d with tiresomc care,
While sense most intense Of suffering culnq
Round the heart of the mother SO full of despair.
To the skies the soft eyes of the mother turnd
And deep were the prayers she qnetly said
As her child meek and mild in her little hoart year
ned,
For rest from the woe that on them so proy'd.
On that night just in sight of the forms that there
knelt.
l stood and | heard their tale fill with woe,
And in heart knew part of the troubles they felt,
As sweet we're the words she breatb'd soft and low
Oh. my Savior, ,, she criai
In accents SO mild.
Have pity, pray,
spare myself and my child.
We're weary, and hungry. and sinful at best,
We are tired, dear Saviour, We ask Thee for rest.
Thou vast born in a stable,
In manger vast placed,
TOuu, ike us, was poor,
Unlike us, disgraccd.
We are tired, we are wicked, we cannot be blcst.
Give us warmth, give us food, MS we lean on thy
breast.
when the morning is come.
Life ended may be,
Wcllub egone to our home
To dwell ever with thee.
Oh, Saviour most merciful. Saviour most blest
Wen quietly sleep, for in the morn there II be rest.
- In our hearts we're contrte,
All our sins we lament,
On our breasts we will smlte,
While sins we confess
Oh, Master, oh, Saviour, oh. Redeemer most blest,
Oh. forgive US our sins, take home to our rest"
Whom the morn was unshorn, and the darkness of
night
Had quite sped away before Sol's golden beam,
Face to face death mbrace they were viewing that
light,
For which they had pray'd so long for one CLEAN.
To their cries the blue skies had thrown open their
doors,
The streets of the heavenly city were sees.
And they felt, as they knet on the bright sunny
shores,
That bliss which alone is known in its sheen.
Oh how blest was the rest where that mother had
gone.
Where bath d in the glist of that golden ,hor'd
land
With her child. sweet and mild, her heart was un
shorn
As she Joined in the songs of that heavenly band.
In my breast there's no rest. when think of that
night
And that mother and child With woe o'erfrauuht
Yet no tear and no fear can er again blight,
Their lives, for their hunger and woes come to
nought.

floor. and said. "Why, Eliza, you should
not mind me- If am a little hasty, |

A School HousE EPIsoDE.-Old In
Gle Jimmy. us he was called, was a strong
and devout Methodist. He always took
a leading part as one of the congrega-
tion, and sometimes the boys thought he
interested himself little more than nee
essary about their affairs and doings, for
he was always lecturing some one about
their morals" and exposing their bad
deeds to the public. So they, the boys,
concluded they would break him Of this
very bad habit.
The school house in which the servi-
ces were conducted, was arranged in the
old style-~the seats runniag roun the
sides Of the room. Now. Uncle. Jimmy
had one particular seat which he always
claimed and occupied during services.
Now for the plan OF attack which was
this:
A small hole was made through the
seat, and a common darning needle fast
ened to wooden spring under the seat,
to which was attached a string running
around the entire room, parallel with the
seats; the string was fastened to the seat
so that, when it was pulled in certain
direction it would cause the needle to
pass up through the seat, and whoever
happened to be on it, would receive the
full benefit of the situation.
WELL the time came for trial; the
boys were all there early. At last In
Gle jim came in and dropped into the &C.
customed seat.
No sooner had hc touched, however,
than he bounded up again. with yell
that might have easily been mistaken for
a mad bull On looking around for the
cause Of his sudden discomfort he could
hnd nothing, and soon all was quiet
again.
After service, begun, sv@o one sa~e
the string another pull, when Uncle jim.
my shouted OUT
doking going on, here"
The minister and congregation looked
at him, and some of them arose in their
seats but. as before. everything Quoted
down and services proceeded.
After while. forgetting his troubles,
Uncle Jimmy gradually went of into the
land Of nod" when the string was
again jerked, more resolutely than bs.
fore Uncle Jimmy jumped up again,
rubbing the afflicted part, and exclaim.
ed:
"Joking-joking going on here!"
This time the parsons and deacons
gathered around him, and the boys being
no longer able to hold in, burst out
laughing, in which the whole congrega-
ton soon followed suit.
A more thorough search was made,
and tho needle was found, but not the

German Notes.

The Religious Con Fict in the Army.-The
Germania mentions the case of a gu bateru
officer in Rhenish regiment. who was de-
bounced to his colonel for 'Uitramontane
views. The colonel tried in vain to con-
vince him that it was a breach of his mill
tary oath to foster tendencies hostile to the
laws which had been sanctioned by his
Sovereign" He was then told that people
Alike him were not wanted in the army; ).
he was actually driven to resign his Office
of paymaster and ask for his release from
the service, which was at once accorded.
The GermaniG asks, where is this to stopf

Prescription Of Religious Confraternities
All congregations of religious men or wo-
men, the parent house of which ia in France,
or "abI DAD" Il. e., ou tsde the German EN-
pire), have been hanished from Alsace
The Augsburg Allgemeine Zeitung tells us
that similar measure of exclusion is i'm
pending over all religious associations or
| confraterDities, such as that for the Prnpa-
CATION of the Faith, the Holy Infancy, Sc,
which are not exclusively German. Copious
reports as to the nature and "affiliation''
| of those associations have been prepared
by the police authorities and submitted to
the Federal Council, with the view of es-
| tabllsnlng uniform practice (of exclusion
throughout the whole of Germany. This
seems specially aimed at Bavaria and
Alsace.
Hitherto what are known as the May
Laws" have been confined to the Prussian
territory. But the influence or the exam
pie of their great neighbour is becoming
too much for the smaller states, and in q
short time one simple system of prescription
of the Catholic Church is likely to be the
rule throughout the whole Empire. The
Mainser Journal, in it's correspondence
from Darmstadt of April 9Th, gives q
graphic sketch of how in one day the cub.
