Oblivion.

Turn wliilhersoever you will on the
earth, and you will find oblivion paint
ed on every page of natures great
volume.
The un%numbered ages and genera.
tons ofmen that have lived, died and
been forgotten, the oceans that have
passed away, and the mountains that
have risen from their beds, remind us
that nature is continually reproducing
herself in some new and varied form.
That which is prominent to-day
may q century hence have passed
away. The rose hat unlolds its petals
and burdens the air With its fragrance,
will droop, ole and return TO dust, to
be reproduced, perhaps, in the lily and
the rose.
Man, too, must 90 down and return
to dust; and although he may do that
which will for ages embalm his name,
yet that isaall which remains to us.
In a world where the tenure of life is
so uncertain, in the face of a fixed law
of our being, whose provisions are
eve violated, is it not strange that
we can enjoy this uncertainty.
Yet we do enjoy it. Although we
daily walk within the shadow of the
tomb, we are merry, we are Joyous,
giving little heed for the morrow.
1t is right that this should be the
case; for what a dreary, desolate
world this would be were every human
btwailing Il fate that is inevitable
mourning because he must go back
from whence he came!
In youth we view death as through
a glass, il seems so far in the distance;
in old age we bail it as a storm tossed
mariner signs for a haven of rest.
Death has a terror for those who
know not the evils it may possess in
its hidden mysteries. The Christian
looks forward to death with ardent
joy, his pious lie having disarmed the
grim monster of its most dreadful
Instead of counting the lew
years that his name will survive, he
peers into a future now illumined by
the brightest rays of hope.

There is no other business on which
the public levics such heavy contribu-
.tinn rs on the newspaper publishing
business. An organization Is getting
up some kind Of festivities, for exam,

pays for music, pays for refreshments,

office or somewhere else, and then cX-

advertisement, and ought to be paid

is no more reason why he should giv'

The Franklin Review and journal
has this to say in regard to converting
the Legislature in extra session: An
extra session o: the Legislature ofthis
State would cost not less than fifteen
thousand dollars, and would not do
one cents worth OF good. The press
Of the State who have expressed them
selves upon this subject are almost
unanimously opposed to an extra SEES
sion. 1t is argued, and truly, too,
that men who compose the Legislature
will be slow to amend their former &C
ton of assessing a ten cent tax by al
increase now. We repeat what We
have before asserted in these columns,
that the bondholders most probably
lost their golden opportunity wher
they failed to make terms with the
Legislature at its last session.

have had the craftsmanship of the
Committee of Ways and Means during
much more than half the period since
the Government has been in existence

longer even than Ohio, which had 1t
for nine years. New York has not
been thus honored since 1S43, when
Fillmore was selected, and since 1856
the heads Of the Ways and Means
