Where is the heart that has not in some
dark hour, leaped with an exciting bound
at the thought that earth is not our home?
1t comes like the "balm of Gilead" to the
child of poverty, giving him new strength
to tread the thorny path Of life. He feels
that every swelling billow of hatred watts
him nesrer the heaven of unehanging love.
Every disappointment weaves for him a
brighter garland of lifc's immortal tree
Has genius stamped upon his brow her
own God-like image? Does he feel that
he was UIade for nobler destiny, and yet
unconscious that the talents must slumber
in oblivion's shade? To him the thought
is full of joy--that though his name may
not be written on Fame's gided page, yet
it may be engraved on Heavens everlast-
ing portals. Though honor withholds
from him her fading laurels, he looks on
ward to glorious diadem reserved for the
pure in heart. Already he sees angel
hands placing the last gem in the con
querors crown; already he hears their
:, shout of triumph as they throw wide the
Agates of the heavenly city, and welcome
him to his eternal home. Is there then
no JOY in the thought that earth is not cur
abiding place? Why should VIC despair
though trials gather around us though
happiness, like phantom, tries to destroys
Though death loves shining mark, tax
ing with unerring aim those We love, there
is a brighter world where those we have
loved will be forever in our presence
happiness like n boundess sea where We
may drink and never thirst, will richl,
pay for every sorrow, every disappoint
ment that darkens ourpathway here below
Yet who would drink at the fountain o
knowledge, is there no joy unspeakable a
the thought ofa world beyond the grave


Where are those high and glorious as
pirants that continually point to something
more holy and more pure Do they no
whisper ta the fettered spirit, "Thou shal
soon be free, and bask in the uncloude,
sunlight of thy native home. Unnumbcr
ed worlds shall be spread before thee, lik
islands that slumber on the oceans tri
umphant bosom, Beings more beautiful
than fancy ever pictured, will lead thee +
fountains of knowledge, exhaustless as tn
river of life-Mourn not that earth
troubled and impure waters are denie
thee-look onward to those immorta
God yea, rejoice that earth is not th
home-that mortality is not thy destiny,

MONEY IN NEW YoRK.-New YORK papers

The effects of the European war upon our
monetary system are becoming more and
more marked. The supply of food being
abundant in Europe, supplies of money be-
come and are still the first necessity of Eu-
ropean governments. ImportatiOns are pour
ing in upon us, and gold is pouring out to
an extent that is alarming for its conse-
quences in the fall. The banks have hardly
woke up TO what is awaiting them, for
money is felt to be abundant. Still, though
the circumstances point to great stringency,
money will become more in demand for the
fall trade.

DIVORCE SUIT -DUHME VS.. DuHME.-The
closing argument in this case yesterday was
made by Mr.. Lincoln. He urged that the tes-
timony did not establish in the slightest degree
any of the grounds set forth in the petition.
Mrs. d. came here with strong prima facie
case against herself-having left her home and
children, an act reprehensible in public estima-
tion and in law, even supposing ground existed
for her seeking remedy under this statute /;
but in this case, undertaken not only without
good cause, but without any cause-there being
no evidence that the trouble was brought about
by any wrong on the part Of respondent. 1t
was rather brought about by her own improper
conduct, and by using this word "improper" he
did not mean to impeach her chastity-he had
no instructions to do so, for Mr.. Duhme stood


heresimply defending himself and desiring to
bring into this case such evidence only in rela-
ton to her as became necessary to show and
explain the origin of those matters which had
been brought up as q ground for divorce. She
had not correct notions Of home or a mothers
duty.


Judge Johnston closed the argument on the
part of the petitioner, and insisted that the
grounds for divorce had been clearly made
out. The various points relied upon by the OPP
posite counsel were ably met but our space
obliges us to limit the report to an abstract of
one argument on either side.

EQUAL JUSTICE TO MAN AND WOMAN.-i'rE.
E. IL. Chaplin, in a recent discourse, says:


'.Ihe refined woman recOils with virtuous scorn
from her fallen sister, but often welcomes him by
whom she fell. We are told that Christ said to
the womans accusers, He that is without sin
among YOU, let him cast the first stone but smittcn
by conscience, they went out one by one And
who is not in some way allied to this great guilt?
The fact Of common weakness should at least make
US mcrcful. 1t is not just that upon the woman
alone should fall the blot of shame. The text is
great lesson OF charity and mercy, and it is great
lesson Of justice also. There is neither justice,
honor nor delcacy in our modern custom, which
scarcely frowns upon the guilty man, while pouring
out all the vias Of wrath upon the guilty woman.
1t may or may not be true, as some insist, that
this foul cancer in society never be eradcated
but we ought at least to insist upon it that the
shame shall be fairly divided, that the SHINING man
shall be branded deeply as tie SHINING woman.
Suppose every guilty man bore the mark of shame
in his face, in the market, or at church, how long
would the evil continue? But the meanncss
of man has thrust the whole shame upon woman" +"

love this holy time. The forest leaves
Beneath the noiseless dews are bending low,
And family glowing in the starlight pale,
As If the visions that come Ger their sleep,
Were of the spirit land. The mountain pine
Has hushed its melancholy music now,
The weary winds are slumbering in the heavens,
Or keeping sacred vigils on the cloud
Far glimmering in the sunset-all is still,
Save that the distant waves are murmuring low,
Like q lost angel mourning his sad lot
Of exile from the blessed.


It Is sweet,
At such an hour, to wander out beneath
The eternal sky, to gaze into its depths,
To picture angelshapes on every star,
To listen to the mystic songs that seem
TO Fancy's ear to wander down to earth
From the far gates of Eden, and to feel
The deep and gentle spirit that pervades
The blessed air, sink like holy spell
Upon hfes troubled waters.


Hark! the bell
Tolls out the midnight hour How glorious
And yet how lonely is the face of things
At this still hour of musing. Vale and hill
And plain and stream, and lake and ancient wood,
Glow in the distance, and Religion rests
Upon them like amantle. o, love, ..
On ewes like this to kneel in solitude
At Natures shrine. The gentle dews that bathe
My brow, seem Gods own baptism, and each voice
That speaks in mystic eloquence from the sky,
And air, and ear tn, and ocean, calls the soul

LETTER FROM WIN. MOOT, ESQ. b.


Messrs. Editors Coming to Minnesota in
1s47 had the honor to be twice elected to
the Legislature from Ramsey county, by the
Democratic party, and also twice chosen Jus.
tice of the Peace by the Democratic party
which strongly did belong to, but will not
any more. The Democratic Platform-espe
cially the 18th resolution-for the ''prompt''
taxation of the people in violation of the Five
Million Loan amendment to the Constitution,
I cannot adopt. Bot still more why l join
the Republican party is, that the Democrats
are certainly responsible because the Home
stead Bill was not passed that great bill for
prosperity now, and happiness for the poor
settlers in a long hereafter. Being Farmer,
am interested in that bills passage, to see
Minnesota settled up with farmers. Being
the father of seven children, six born in Min
nesota, wanted the Homestead to allow
them to get homes free of cost, whenever they
are of an age to set up in the world for them
selves-the land belongs to the people free to
use just as air, water and light are used and
it should be no more sold by Government,
than it should sell air, water or light in quan-
titles for money. want it well understood
am no candidate for Office, now or in the
future; but love Minnesota, and therefore
want new set ofrulers. Hove honest and
free principles of liberty; therefore join the
Republican party, and leave the Democratic,
which last, l am convinced, is now party for
Slaves, against Free Labor, against Free
Honesteads, and against economy in the
ruling of the State Government. At this
coming election, l think the voice Of the peo-
pie will be loudly pronounced in opposition
to the Democratic party and never better
will it be shown uo1.. pepui, voS Dei-that
Is, the voice of the people is, in this case sure
ly, the voice of God for as Thomas Jeffer-
son said-there is no attributes of Deity which
can take sides with the Democratic party in
its contest for the extension or propagation of
slavery. Respectfully yours,
