[For the vIRGINIAS.l
ManV Mansions.

The Holy Bible plainly says
That Heaven is place
Where Christ the Lord has built house
For all the human race;
That house is large enough for all,
The sacred records teach,
And loving hands with care prepare
furnished room for each.
Each room is specially Arranged
For him who dwells therein,
His tastes are suited perfectly,
And suited without sin.
Perhaps upon the walls may hang,
Painted by perfect art,
The pictures of the scenes on earth
Which sanctified his heart.
Upon the mantel shelf may stand
portrait of his mother,
Or parents both and loving wife
May there be PLACID together
favorite sister on the right,
brother ON the left,
And here and there faithful friend
Of whom he was bereft.
These pictures OF fair earthly scenes
And each familiar face
Many a time will call to mind
A fond remembered place,
whilst on his brow he ever wears
The mark of his dear Lord,
Who sanctif1es and makes all things
With perfect love accord.
Around about this peaceful home
Are trees with spreading tops,
Fountains of water, pure;and sweet,
Spring up in sparkling drops.
About the tall and mighty oaks
The ivy vines do cling,
And in the branches of the trees
The happy songsters sing.
The waters of the purling streams
Are clear as crystal glass.
Along the banks in verdure grows
The ever living grass.
And trees are there and brush and vine,
Which bear all kinds of fruit,
And music floating on the winds,
Sweeter than lovers lutte.
Along the walks sweet flowers grow,
Which never cease to bloom,
And to the breezes they impart
rare and rich perfume.
Within this lovely, sacred place
Live all who 'scape from he'll,
They constitute Gods family,
Together sweetly dwell.
No sorrows ever enter there,
Nor sickness, pain, nor gloom.
No shadows fall upon the way,
No dread Of future doom,
No sunlight there to scorch with heat,
Nor frosts nor winds to blight,
But God who made the universe,
He is the life and light.

The Ohio Campaign.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette

Personal statement to the Public, prints
the following:
Upon testimony believed to be conclusive
aud my own responsibility, ] addressed Mr., Jas.
f. Campbell letter and published it in the edltO-
raj columns of the Commercial Gazette, stating l

member of the House of Representatives, he
had introduced a bill and, upon his denial, |
caused to be engraved and published what pur-
ported to be fac-simile or his signature append

original documents were in my possession. They
consist of Mr. Campbell'S bill. the contract num-
bered LOCO, and the subscription paper, to which
names are written beginning with that of Mr..
Campbell as has been represented. Testimony
was placed before me last night proving that
the names, incl lding that of Mr.. Campbell, are.

exceptions were written without a copy That
there may be no shade of doubt upon my ex-

signature as it has been used, is fraudulent. The
proof of this cime to me in conclusive form at
a late hour, and it is my duty at once to declare
the truth. The papers that seemed to show the
business behind the BILL are as published, but
the signatures, OF which have given that OF the
author of the bill, are fabricated.
