friends. A world Of illimItabls
learning and progression, and an
gels Of perhaps . million years eI-
1srisnce, for instructors and guides.
A world of sweet aud holy converse,
of everlasting bloom and deathlsss
love. 4 world free from EIu and
sorrow, pain and tears; where de-
ceit, backbitIng, falsehoOd, Jealousy
and hate are never known; where
sighs and groauS, envy, outrage,
wrong and death can never come.
No sickness there,
No weary wasting Of the frame away,
No fearful shrinking from the midnight
air.
No dread of summers bright and fer7id
ray.
No hidden grief,
No wild and eheerless vision of despair,
No vain petition for swift relief,
No fearful eyes, 10 broken hearts are
there.
Care has no homs
Within that realm of rapturous praise
and song;
It's tossing billOWs break and melt IN foam
Far from the mansions of the spirit throng.
No parted friends
Ger mournful reeollsctiOns have TO weep;
No bed of death enduring love attends
To watch the coming of a pulseless sleep.
No blasted flower
Or withered bud celestial gardens grow /;
Nor seorching blast or fierce descending
shower
Scatters destruction Ike a ruthless foe.
No battleword
SsartEes the sacred host with fear and
dread;
The song of peace creations morning
heard,
Is sung where angel minstrels tread.
Reader, friend, there is but one
road to this realm of tho OIest.
Strait is the gate and narrow is the
way. II is often a rugged and
thorny path, and marked, all along,
with tear-stains and footprints OF
blood. Trials and dangers beset the
traveller in it; storms of temptation
and sorrow beat upon his head. But
perseverance and humble, fervent
trust in the dear Lamb OF Calvary,
will bear him safely and surely
through at last.
There is another track-broad,
smooth, welI-beaten. Flowers bloom
along its borders. Gilded saIooEs
offer rest and refreshment to the
journeyer. SoftIy-tinted light from
many brilliant hall Of pleasure,
CLEANS on his course. Music and
perfumes lend their charms. The
cards and dice and liceDtious dance
afford amusement for his leasure
hours. But al, the journeys end is
hell. Dear reader, which route is
yours?

Hancock as Mediator.

New YORK, September Am Evening
Commercial Washington special says. on
the authority Of q prominent New York
Democrat, that Hancock personally
brought about the agreement between
Tammany and the Faulkner Committee.
Hancock was in communication not only
with Faulkner but with D. Manning, and
commanded them to test Kelly's sincerity
for peace and harmony. He declared
that the State could not be carried II the
party divided, and II was time personal
bias, hatred and ambitions were buried.
The party's good exao.sd as much from
every loyal Democrat, and he would
consider no man who refused to take
the olive branch offered by Tammany's
LOYAL Democrat. Hancock did not take
the step until the very last moment, al
though repeatedly advised and urged to
do II by the conservative Democrats
who surrounded him. The credit Of the
step is accorded to General Franklin,
for Il was we'll known that just alter the
Cincinnati Convention be doubted the
sincerity OF the public embrace OF John
Kelly and Colonel Fellows, and declared
at that time that nothing but decided
action on Hancock's part would recon.
cile the two factions. Badly Smith
and franklin are the real powers behind
Hsncock's throne. They will be all.
powerful In his administration should
Hancock be the next President.
