Reckless Career of a Reverend
Rascal

Rev. f. D.. Winslow, publisher of
the Boston NeIgs and treasurer OF the
association which owns the Boston
Post, disappeared from Boston on Fri
day or Saturday last, and is supposed
to be. now IN his way to some foreign
port, a fugitive from justice.
Mr.. Winslow was vcrs widely known,
not only from his newspaper connection,
but as a very active business man and
politician, aud is now likely to become
famous as a most successful scoundrel,
as it now appears that the money with
which he last year bought the Boston
Post, and with which he has kept up
his other business, was obtained on
forged notes, of which nearly five
hundred thousand dollars are ahoat.
1t is only few weeks since the ele-
CANT house in which he lived, and
which was insured for $4,000, was
burned under suspicious circumstances
and it now transpires that several
forgeries committed by him were dctec.
ted some months since, but hushed up,

he raised by forging others, He is
only 81 years old, but since he gradua.

Secretary Bristow is now unlimber-
ing his batteries in the face of the Chi
cago Whiskey Ring, aud worse disclos-
ures are already threatened than have
yet been made at St. Louis or elsewhere.
In fact the whiskey birds are coming
down from the trees, with the very fist
leveling of the gun. Confession and
blabbing about others is the order of
the day. The secretary seems to have
got the Ring where it is divided among
its own members, fighting among them
selves, and each is anxious to tell all
he knows, in the hope of clearing him.
self from punishment. Some of the
distillers talk with great emphasis on
the whole matter, declaring outright
and with great apparent innocence, that
they have none of them made anything
for the past two years and that they
were actually forced into crooked
whiskcy by the officials themselves.
This is a serious charge to make !;
but if it be true it ought to be cstab.

Some people cannot bear prosperity
the Democrats in Congress have failed
to hide their cloven feet. David of old,
saw these men in prophetic vision,
when he said: 81 have seen the wick
ed in great power AMI spreading them
selves like green bay tree" They
have lost themselves on an obstruction,
that would have been of no value to
them, had it been granted. They
sought universal amnesty, and when
freely offered to them with the cxcep-
ton of Jeff. Davis, they refuse it for
his sake, and then comes heated dis
cussion between Blaine, Garfield, Co X
and Hill, which. developed the fact,
that the Southern Democrats are most
ly unrepentant rebels, and that the
Northern Democrats are as fully in &C.
cordancc with them as ever. The best
informed among the Democrats hoped
to restrain their frc-eating colleagues,
and keep up deception of patriotism !;
but the old foot will show itself despite
their efforts to hide it. And now the
same old democratic tags are thrown
to the breeze, and all men can read
them the same as of old.

Life.
BY o. $. RICE.

AS the drop of water falleth
On the ocean, vast, unknown;
AS the withered, rain-wet leatlet
From some forest tree is blown;
So, man passeth to the shadow
And the silence of the tomb.
Oh this life so strange and fleeting!
Yet so lasting, strong and brave,
Full of hope and pleasant greeting
Dark with shadows as the grave
Passing on, at last, and meeting
With the mighty God who gave.
All do know of human sorrow,
And its fearful cups they drain,
Fearing oft some coming morrow
Ere its burdens come again,
And the heart no longer joyous
Quivers oftentimes with pain.
Yet to each, perhaps is given
Some dear hope no other knows,
Bright beneath the smile of Heaven
Some sweet flower of promise grows,
And the darkened cloud is riven
Where the golden sunlight CLOVIS.
And each one however lowly
Has the loving Fathers care,
And rs circling years move slowly
And the ages onward bear,
And as infinite and holy,
lie is with them where they are
What shall we in the hereafter
Think Of all this busy life?
Think of all its JOY and sadness,
All its ceaseless toll and strife?
Looking at it from the calmness
OF our own eternal life.
