The Eirst Breach

How painful Is tho first breach in the family circle. You have known-have always known, that sooner or later death must enter that circle; but you 'havenever realized it, never felt 1t, until now. You have lived on from year to year with your family grown up around you, have moved on with tho same happy group, within which you first came to the consciousness of life, and parents and brothers and sisters are all relatively the same to you now as then; you see no changes, and seldom think of changes indeed, you have settled down into a practical convi iction that In these happy relations there is to be no change. But at length death comes, and the shock he gives to your every ssnsibility startles you from the dream In whjch you have lived, and shows you how utterly you had deceived yourself with delusive hopes. Then comes the terrible realization of what you have always known, but have never half believed. Your honored faith CT, your loved and reverated mother your husband In the prime of his man. hood. your wife In the flower of her your son, your daughter, budding into life and promise, or your gentle babe, the petted lamb of all your flock, lies silent in death.
 What a strange feeling of uncertainty now steals over you; the afIliction may have come Tn the gentlest form, and mer- Fcy may strew with flowers the very bed of death; but the breach is made, and you no longer live in a charmed circle. Sickness, heretofore no stranger in your family, now brings unwonted anxiety and fears it comes with the association of death; your sleep Is broken, your nerves are disquieted by any symptom of disease in your household. Life takes on anoth- or aspect; 1t loses its wonted elasticity {; 1t no longer unwinds from an endless reel you see It's end, or at every moment you expect the thread will snap. new experience, new world of thought and emotion is opened to you, and henceforth you wiu live in that world.
 Such are experiences sooner or later all will have; and it will be blessed or a mosrnful experience according as the heart Is spiritual or worldly. Happy will you be in the midst of your sorrow. if this breach in your family circle shall open more widely the channel of devine grace, that the full tide of heavenly love may flow in upon your soul. Blessed be God there Is q farnily-a glad circle oi love. and peace and ioy-in which there will be no breach and no change forever.

We have passed the first half of writer, and are now on the onward march to spring. We have been remarkably ex- empt from the rigors that attend the season when Old Boreas is supposed to hold high carnival. The burden of our song has baen December's as pleasant as May" and we are now fain to take up the refrain, "The spring time Of year is coming" But while we on this side of the ocean have experienced bat little of tho realities of stern winter, our trans Atlantic neighbors have not fared so well The famine following the failure of the crops, has been rendered doubly severe by intense and unprecedented cold wealth or floods In various parts of continental Europe, have devastated the country, laying waste farms submerging villages, and destroying millions worth of proper ty, and tho poorer classes in all sections of the country are in greater or less de- gree of destitution. But while we havo not been able to stay the dovouring ele- ments, 1t is a subject of rejoicingto to know that our granaries are bursting out with the products of the soil, and that we have wherewith to feed the starving nations of the Old World, beside filling to replo- tion the fifty millions of people of our domain.

She resorted to wailing, but re- fused to beiallured into the trap thus set for her by these representatives of a su- psrior race. Rolled in their attempt and overwhelmed with the remonstrances of the other passengers. they jumped from the train after having carried the child
 several miles. Commenting upon this act. the Graphic remarks: Although 1t may be argued that these thieves were rough men from the mining country, they were white mon, ranked inthe Indian mind. probably. on par with the thiev- Ing portion of the Indian agents, and the bereaved mother Is probably now rocit- Ing this instance of fiendlshness to inter- ,ested listeners In the tribe to which she belongs.

 Still, we are not so good on our side of the river as to be entirely without re- proach. Last week we unearthed another clerical villain, who was starving lot of children to death. For months and years this fendish system of torture had been going on, till the wretched little victims were reduced to skin and bone. Among savages, they would have torn this brute to pieces with wild horses. In the light of higher civilization, we may politely request him not to do it again.

THE WORLD FOR 1880.

Democrats everywhere should inform themselves out the country and ei the movements of their Re publican opponents. A failure to do this in 1876 contributed greatly to the loss by the Democracy of the fruits of the victory at the polls.
 The year 1880 promises to be one of the most in- teresting and important years of this crowded and eventful century. It will witness Presidential election which result in re-establishing the Government of this country the principles of its constitutional founders or in permanently changing the relations of the States to the Federal power. No intelligen. man regard such an olec- ton with indifference. The World as the only En- glish newspsa ed in the city of New York which uphold ines of constitutional De- moctacy, wilt, present the Conservative contention knvass. twill do this in no evil spiSQlg parsisanship, but tempo rately and firmly. It will be as swift to rebuke what it regards as inhdohty to Democratic princi pies to the honorable laws of political conflict on the part of it's friends the part of it's foes It will uphold candidate for office whom it believes to misrepresent to contradict the true dtions of our national prosperity and greatness.

A BRAVE LADY !
She Endures the Pain Of & Severe Surgt~ cal Operation without taking
 ChIor form.

{Front the Courier.)
 Mrs. Schoonmaker, of Creek Locks, Ulster Co.,, N. Y, had the misfortune to entirely lose the sight of one of her eyes, through an accident, and endured painful infamma- tory action therein for two long years :- the other eye finally becoming sympathet- ically affected her general health seriously suffering; indeed, she was mere wreck, a walking skeleton. In this terrible strait, she consulted pr. David Kennedy, of Ron- dout, New York, who told her at once that the injured eye must be removed. She quietly but firmly said: All right, Doctor, but don't give me chloroform. Let my hus- band sit by my side during the operation, and I will neither cry out or stir Tho work was done, and the poor woman kept her word. Talk of soldierly courage! This showed greater pluck than it takes to face hundred guns. To restore her general health Dr. Kennedy then gave the "Fa- vorite Remedy which cleansed the blood. regulated the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, and thus imparted new life to the long-suf- fering woman. She rapidly gained health and strength, and is now well. The "Fa- vorite Remedy" is priceless blessing to woman. No family should be without it. Your druggist has it.
