rHE MNZsTER,s DAUGRTER.
BY J. G. WHITTIER.

| In the minister's morning sermon,
| He had told of the primal fall,
And how thenceforth the wrath of God
Rested on each and all.
And how of his will and pleasure,
] All souls save chosen few
/ Were doomed to the quenchless burning
| And held in the way thereto.
Yet never by faiths unreason
A saintlier soul was tried,
| And never the harsh old lesson
A tenderer heart belied.
And after the painful service
On that pleasant Sabbath day.
He walked with his little daughter,
Through the apple bloom of May.
Sweet in the fresh green meadows,
Sparrows and blackbirds sung
Above him their tinted petals
The blossominG orchards hung.
Around On the wonderful glory,
The minister looked and smiled
. How good is the Lord who gives US
These gifts from his hand, my child. u
Behold in the bloom of apples
And the violets in the sward
a hint of the old lost beauty
OF the garden of the Lord
Then up spoke the little maiden.
TTeading On snow and pink,
. father, these pretty blossoms
Are very wicked, l think.
Had there been no garden of Eden,
There never had been a fall,
And if never a tree had blossOmed,
God would have loved US all"

By his decree man fell,
His ways are in clouds and darkness,
But he doeth all things we'll
"And whether by his erdaining
To us cemeth good or Ill,
Joy or pain, the light or shadow,
We must fear and love Him still"
80, fear Him." said the daughter,
And l try TO love Him, too
But / wish He was good and gentle,
Kind and loving as you"
The minister groaned in spirit,
As the tremulous lips of pain,
And wide wet eyes uplifted,
Questioned his own in vain.
Bowing his head he pondered
The words of the little one ;
Had he erred in his lifelong teaching,
lad he wrong his Master done
To what grim and dreadful idol
Had he lent the hOliest name
Die his own heart, loving and human,
The God OF his worship shame?
And 10 from the bloom and greenness
From the tender skies above,
Aud the face Of his little daughter
He reads a lesson of love.
No more as the cloudy terror
Of Sinai's mount of law,
But as Christ in the Syrian lilies
The vision of God he saw.
And as when in the cliffs of Horeb
OF old was his presence known,
The dread ineffabIe glory
Was iniuite goodness alone.
Thereafter his hearers noted
In his prayers tender strain,
And never the gospel of hatred
Burned on his lips again.
And the scofing tongue was prayerful,
And the blinded eyes found sight,
And hearts, as flint aforetime,
Grew soft in his warmth and light.

The first paper that formulated

great presidential contest just closed
lriumPhautly for the StalwaTts, was
The Lemars Sentinel, and, as mat
ter of course the Sentinel is the only
paper in the world that really knows

our Hoosier brother.
1t means

sovereignty Of the general govern
ment over all Tie so-called states
in other words it means
Capitalization.
2. Co-relatively ii means
The total subordination of the
states, and their SO called constita-
lions and laws. to the supreme au-
thority Of the central government.
Logically growing out Of these de-
Guitions, which are nov recognized
as literally correct by al! parties, it
means
8. The exchange Of state censti-
tutions for provincial charters gran
ted by the Nation.
4. The recon Of the ma
tionaI senate with a representation
therein based on population instead
Of states. Thus, the rotten borough
Of Rhode Island whose population is

state OF New York with it's five mil

5. The electoral college will be

David Davis on Hancock.

Chicago, Aug. S.-The Times this
morning publishes letter from Senator
David DAVIS to a gentleman in Washing
ton in which Judge Davis says: The
training and habits Of my life naturally
led me to prefer civilians to soldiers for
great civil trusts, but as parties are Or
ganized the voters must Judge between
the candidates. have no hesitation in
supporting Hancock for the best of all
reasons, because his election will
put an end to sectional strife and sec
tional parties and will revive patriotic
sentiment all over the land, which polit-
ical leaders and factions for sinister ends
have sought to prevent. There can be
no permanent prosperity without pacifi-
cation. Great were the achievements of
Gen. Hancock in the war, his conduct in
peace, when in command of Louisiana
and Texas in 1867 was still greater and
justly commends him to the confidence
of the country.

monies indoors over, an enormous crowd
assembled around the platform on the
grounds, from which Senator KirkwOod
made an address.
Garfield made a speech of considerable
length which was loudly applauded by
the crowd. After thanking the people
for their evident good will and comment
ing on affairs of local interest he said
This is a mixed audience of citizens and
1 will not offend the proprieties of the
occasion by discussing contraverted
questions or entering upon any political
discussion. Look in the faces Of men of
all shades of opinion, but whatever
our party affiliations and trust there is in
all this audience love of our benificient

whosoever humble, to rise to place and
power.
Three cheers for Gen. Garfield were
given, followed by three cheers for the
next president. The visiting party then
made its way through the throng to the
boat landing. Here the jubilee singers
repeated two or three songs. The general
thanked them and in tone audible only
to those close by, he said: The old pro-
phet said ethiopia shall stretch her
hands to God" believe God has stretch
ed out his hand to the children of Ethi-

There was renewed applause by the
thousands upon the shore as the boat
moved off from the landing. Cheers also
greeted the party at the Lake Wood boat.

Meadville was reached, where the train
stopped for dinner, acquaintances were
