In the spirit of Christian love and charity, he has labored with singlsness of purpose to promote the Spiritual welfare of his people and of the entire community, and in parting with him we can truly say, swell done, good and faithful servant" While we regret the necessity which compels our separation, we appreciate the motive which has prompted him to accept another field of labor, well knowing that desire for greater usefulness m the cause of his Divine Master, whom he has 90 faithfully served, has been the con trolling influence in determining his choice.
 Wherever his lot may hereafter be cast earnest prayers will attend him, that Heaven may bless and keep him and his, and that his lsbors may reap that rich reward which the wealth of the world cannot purchase.

For The Neses:
Political Action Must be the Object of La
Dor Organization.
Heretofore workingmen seem to have
acted like moles, blindly going hither
and thither for little bats thrown out
to catch them by INSCRIPTIONS self
seeking politicians. They did not
seem to appreciate or favor any exhi-
bition of knowledge that would guide
them Alright if coming from their own
GLASS, but looked up for some great
military hero, or some one born in
the.purple, to lead them on. And
thus they have been, like the children
Of Israel wandering for forty years 10
the wilderness, seeking the promised
land. Can they not understand that
moneycraft, like old priestcraft and
ringcraft, viii never let them see the
light if ii can help it? That there is
false system which they must change
for q true one2 That they have hith-
erto looked no farther than sharing
Of loses with their employers, made
inevitable by such system, and under
which all alike who invest capital or
labor in productive industry must
suffer together. Equal rights for man
and the blessings of peaceful prosper
ity, are not the study Of military he
roes who seek to crafty their ambition
nor of those who worship at the
shrine Of Mammon. They must act
together with their ballots, educate
themselves in political knowledge,
and elevate those of their own degree
to positions that command the inter-
ests Of labor. American liberty, so
splendid in name and pictured display
has become now but hollow mockery
to the people, who are fast becoming
demoralized and degraded into a ma
ton Of slaves to . set Of avaricious
and debauched task-masters. Organ
ize they must do for political action,
or the liberty they have left will soon
be lost. ARGUS.
