TIE late Senator Morton is said to have
read newspapers more than books. He often
felt the want Of more general acquaintance
with literature, but never pretended ka0wl-
edge he didn't possess, nor was unwilling to
ask for information. His favorite poetry was
"Paradise Lost" He was firm believer in
revelation, but once said to friend who was
With him in Europe that he was afraid to in
vestigate the sources Of his belief, or 10 sub
ject it to the attacks Of an acute and well-in-
formed skeptic. On bis death-bed he said, as
well as he could for his failing breath, that he
had tried to live right, which was the only
accepted preparation for death, or words to
that effect. He had much veneration. He
once said that he did not approve Of sacred al
lusions in political speeches.

THs Rev. DR.. John Hall defends the busi-
ness ef politics in the Ledger. He says: "Let
US dismiss from our minds the idea that there
is anything otherwise than honorable in the
choice of political career. A lawyer, q doc
tor, banker. clergyman, proposes to be
public servant. and to live by the legitimate
rewards of his service. Why should not .
man choose = political career, with the same
honorable objects2" DR.. Hall also believes
in Office seeking, 80 long as it il done by
worthy men. "Nor is it" he says, ''to be q
reproach to man who has chosen political
career that he seeks to be in Office. Why
should men have to affect reluctance, and to
chatter common-places about yielding to
sense of duty in taking office A good man
embarked on political career is as likely and
as free to seek Office as lawyer to seek bust :
ness, or minister to seek congregation"

A WARRINGTON special to the Cincinnati
Gazette says: There appears to be DO proba-
bility that Ewing's repeal measures can pass
the Senate. The repeal of the entire third
section certainly can not, and, in fact, the
Ewing men in the House Committee on
Banking and Currency have abandoned that
upon ascertaining that no measure aimed, an
such total repeal would be, q. the National
Banks could succeed in the House."

decrease in the number of scarlet fever cases
in this city, which goes to show that this dis
ease is in great measure communicated by

session the number is increased, and fifty cases
have already been reported TO the Board Of

FAITHS ANsWER.-1 Thess. 4:14.

| HELEN F. BENJAMIN.
| The sun has gone down DER the mountain
The cool, grateful evening is nigh;
The robin in yondcr green tree-top,
Is singing her sweet lullaby
Lullaby to her four little brdlmgs,
While mothcr.heart swells with delight:
They are safe in their wee, breeze.rocked cradle,
But whore ale my brdhngs tonight?
Where are they Go ask the great Spoiler,
Who, one by one, stole them away;
| My lie.stOrm has shattered the home-nest
My lile's sorrows darkened its day.
Sing on mother-blrd, in the cleaning
Make vocal the fast fading light;
I've no song to sing to my brides,
No brides to sing to tonight,
list to the childrens gay voices,
watch their light forms at their play,
Till the last ones have tired of their pastime,
And gone on their glad homewarl way;
Till the stars are all out in their beauty,
Far away in the heavenly doa,e,
And think, with passionate yearnng,
con when will my children come home?p
Now, darkness has fallen around me,
All is sun save the whip-poor.wlps cry,
And the (ar-away voice of some singer,
Telling how, " in the sweet bye and bye
We shall meet"-oh, most healt-cheering promise
I'VE shall meet on that beautiful shore; "
And join in the hymn of rejoicing
God help ME, III murmur no more.
Far better the grave for my loved ones,
Than here, amidst sorrow and pain;
From their long, dreamless slumber, | would no
Recall them, to suffer again.
But soon, when the voice of the angel
Shall wnken the dead from the tomb,
We shall meet in the bright land of pIOmlse--
Then, then will my children come home.

WINDOW GLAss.-There are seventy
establishments in the United States devot-
ed TO the production of wndow-g lass
.Twenty-seven of these are in New Jersey
the others are scattered through New Eng
land, New York, Pennsylvania, Mary land
Ohio and elsewhere in the West. The cap
tal invested in the industry is about &c.
100000 in New Jersey alone, while the
annual production of that State is between
100000 and 100000 boxes of the vari-
ous qualities and sizes of glass The win
dow-gas manufacturing interest is now
one of the principal industries of this coun'
try, and is destined to check the imporla-
ton of glass to America; in fact many oi
the American manufacturers are now ex-
porting large quantities of glass and
glassware. 1t is believed that fully three
lourths of the factories are now stopped
some few in Pittsburgh being in operation
Somewhere near $4,000 men and boys are
now striking, and it is not improbable that
that number will be increased. The plate
glass for the San Francisco Stock Exchange
is 1856 inches long and l20 inches wide
and is said to be the largest glass ever
imported.

The power of the pendent root of the
Banyan has been lately exhibited in the
celebrated Temple of Juggernaut. The
sacred edifce, which for seven centuries
defied the elements and encroachment oi
age, is now found to be on the brink ol
destruction. The seeds of the Banyan tree
have got under the foundations, and the
whole fabric has been loosened. The ruin
was first Indicated by the falling of some
large stones Just after the idol had left th'
temple on the last car festival. This CT
tastrophe has, rs may be imagined, caused
great CONSERVATION, and is likely to have
disastrous effect on the prestige of jug
gernaut. 1t is II curious coincidence that
the most celebrated IIindoo temple SHOULD
have been thus undermined by trees helC
sacred, If not Divine, by the whole Hindot
nation.

ACT FROM PRINCGPLE.-Elowf few per-
sons there are whose lives are governed
entirely from principle rather than incli-
nation. Even those of US who may be
cndcavoring to live for high purposes,
come far short of our aspirations, alas!
how very far short. How often we find
our convictions of right and duty ques-
toning if it might not be as well for us to
yield to inclination, Just for the time, prom
isirg our disturbed consciences that we
will make up for the present indulgence
by more vigorous self-denial and strict at
trnion TO duty, Vain fallacious reasoning
of weak nature! we cln never make up
for one neglected opportunity, one mis-
spent hour, one wrong, selfish act Once
past, the opportunity unimproved, the hour
wasted, the act committed, it is beyond
onr reach to recall, except in thoughts OF
regret. We may atone for it, but we never
can change the past Alas howpaiDfully we
are aware of this fact. Then should we
endeavor the more earnestly to make our
lives embodiments of principle; for we all
know that, after all, the path of duty
though sometimes rugged, is not without
sweet pleasures; and let us never follow
our inclinations, if they would lead us
away from right. Then shall we be per-
mitt.d ut the last to look back upon oul
lives with satisfaction, feeling that we have
done what we could, and that our Father
regards us with smiles of approval.

II DID Nor THINK But you should
think; for that purpose Were your faculties
bestowed upon you. A thoughtIess person
is Of necessity coarse snd selfish. When
people do wrong to their neighbors, and
give pain unnecessarily, to say " did not
think" puts forward no p,,a for tolerance,
but is rather reason for condemnation.
and an additional peg on which to hang a
sermon of rebuke. They should have
thought; there is no good reason why they
should not think; and, if they did not, then
they did wrong, and wrong is always
wrong and reprehenslble.
Men are drowned by raising their arms
above water, the unbuoyed weight of
which depresses the head. When u man
falls into deep water, he will rise to the
surface, and will continue there if he does
not elevate his hands. Ifhc moves his
hands under water in any way he pleases,
his head will rise SO high as TO allow him
full liberty to breathe, and if he will use
his legs as in the act of walking Cor rather
of walking up stairs), his shoulders will
rise above the water, so that he may use
less exertion with his hands, or apply
them to other purposes, These plain di-
rections are recommended to the recollec-
ton of those who have not learned to
swim in their youth, as they may be found
highly advantageous in preserving life.
AFTER BREAKFAST.-There is no one
period at which the feeling of leisure is
more delightful one than after breakfast
on summer morning in the country. 1t
is slavish and painful thing to know
that instantly you rise from the breakfast
table you must take to your work. In
that state your mind will be fretting and
worrying away all the time the hurried
meal lasts. 1t is delightful to breakfast
leisurely; then go out and saunter in the
garden; walk down to the water and give
the dogs swim sketch out kite, 10 be
completed in the evening; to stick up a
new colored picture in the nursery, and to
do this and more with the sense that
there is no negleCt-that you can easily
overtRks your days work,-Trri''g,

Nil DEsPERANDUM,-- One of the Scotch
Judges, rather noted for his light treatment
of serions punishments. had once senten
ced u man, convicted Of sheep stealing, to
be hanged on the 2Slh of the then current
month. The prisoner, when being con
ducted out of the dock, turned round to the
judge, who was busy arranging his papers
previous to leaving the court, and cried
out. My lord, my lord. heana got just
ice here the day. The judge, looking up
from his occupation with twinkle OF grim
fun in his eye, consolingly answered
" Wee, weel, my man, yen get it on the
2Sth."
