Benjamin F. Taylor, of the Chicago
Journal, relates thus eloquently and
feelingly upon the death of child


1t went in the morning. bright


and radiant morning-many went yes


terday, more to-day, and there are dews


to be shed for the departures of to-mor:
row: And can it be wondered that
pleasant summer mornings should be-
guile them into going? Is it marvel


that they do not wait for the burden
and noon, but follow the lark and hear
her song over the rim of the rainbow


That those words SO beautiful, they


should make so true; and joy cometh


in the morning?'"


Going in the morning! a glorious
morning-when the sky is all beauty.
and the world is all bliss; ere the dews
have gone to heaven, or the stars have
gone to God; when the birds are sing
ing, and the cool winds are blowing,
and the flowers are out that will be
shut at noon, and the clouds that are
never rent in rain, and the shadows in
laid with crimson lie away to the west.


We have sometimes seen little cof-
I'm, like casket for jewels, all alone by
itself in huge hearse, melancholy,
with plumes, and gloomy as frown,
and We have thought, not so should we
accompany those little way, who go
in the morning. We have wondered
why they did not take the little coffin
into the carriage with them, and lay it
gently upon their laps, the sleeper
there lulled to slumber without bosom
or cradle. We have wondered what
there was for tears in such going-iu
the earl y morning from home to home
like fair white doves with downy
wings emerging from neither night and
fiuttering for entrance at the windows
OF heaven. Never has there been a
hand wanting TO take the wanderer in,
and shut out the darkness and the
storm.


Upon these little faces it never SEEM
ed to US that death could place his
great seal; there is no thought of the
charnel-house in those young listeners
to the invitation, VIII 1se acceptance we
are bound not to forbid; there should
be morning songs and not sighs; fresh
flowers and not badges of mourning;
no tears nor clouds, but bright dews
and bright dawnings together.


Fold up the white robe; lay aside
the forgotten toy; smooth the impress
ed pillow, and gently smile as you think
of the white garment of the harp of
gold, and of the fair brow with its dia-
dem of light; smile as you think that
70 years can make that memory old.
An eternal, guileless child, waiting
about the threshold of Par adise for the
coming friend from home.


Here the glad lips would culver with
anguish the bright eurls growing griz-
zled and gray, the young heart weary
and old, but there, changeless as the
stars, and young as the last new morn
ing. The poet tells of green bough
rent by the tempest from the tree, and
swept rudely along on the breast of an
angry river, and mother-bird with
cries Of grief fiuttering beside it, for
her nest and nestlings were there.
All! better to be waited away from
earth, than thus that they should drift
around the world in storm.

The following noble song was written oy Hor
A. j. Duganne of New York, formerly membt
If the Legislature of that State and poet OF we
earned reputation.
Keep it before the people?
That earth was made for man!
That flowers were strown,
And fruits were grown,
To bless and never to ban.


That sun and rain,


And corn and grain,
Are yours and mine, my brother F!
Free gifts from heaven,


And freely given,
To one as well as another
Keep it before the people!
That man is the image of Godl
His limbs or soul,


Yet may not control
With shackle, or shame, or rod
We may not be sold,


For silver or gold,
Neither you nor l, my brother!
For Freedom was given


Bv God, from heaven,
To one as well as another!
Keep it before the people!
That famine, and crime, and woe,
Forever abide,


Still side by side,
With luxury's dazzling show!
That Lazarus craws,


From Dives halls,
And starves at his gate, my brother!
Yet life was given.


By God, from heaven,
To one as well as anotheri
Keep it before the people
That the poor man claims his need,
The right of soil,


And the right of toll,
From spur aud bride freed:
The right to bear,


And the right to share
With you and me, my brother!
Whatever is given,
By God, from heaven,
To one as well as another.

The Wabash Express, with its character
istIc disposition for Misrepresentation, first
stated that all the Democrats of the House
had voted against the Homestead bill, and
then tina. all the Democrats of the South
ern States, save one, had voted against it.
1t is as easy to state the whole truth, as to
attempt to do wrong by Withholding a
part. The bill passed the House by lis
yeas to 65 nays. But the Express, in Civ
ing the vote, leaves out the names of eight
members who voted for the bill. 1t would
not do justice in even that regard.-State
Sentinel


The editor of the State Sentinel is very
reckless in relation to what he says. He
seems to have no regard himself for the
truth, and yet he presumes to preach truth
telling to others. First cast the beam Out
of your own eye. Mr. Bingham. and then
you may be more able to see the mote in
your nelghbor's. We never said that "aA
the Democrats of the House voted against
the Homestead bill" Here is our precise
language:


"This measure is Republican measure,
| il having received the vote of every Repub-
| lican member Of the House who was pre-
sent. and was voted against by sixty.six
Democrats,-every Southern Democrat vo-
ting against it but one. Whether it will
pass the Democratic Senate remains to be
seen, vet we have no doubt but if it does
it will be so modified and incumber-
Ell that its benefcent object will be des.
troyed."


This is all we said upon the subject of
how the Democratic party voted on this
bill, and how the editor of the Sentinel
could draw from this that We said call the
Democrats Of the House voted against the


Homestead bill, it puzzles US to know. ex.


cept simply to crafty his inOrdinate desire


to misrepresent He said the Homestead


bill had received the votes of every Re


publican member OF the House who was


present-we ask the editor of the Sentinel


if this is not true? We said it was voted


against by sixty six Democrats-is mo-


this also true? We said every Southern


Democrat voted against the bin but one
does the editor Of the State Sentinel say
this is false?


The leaving out the names of "eigh
members who voted for the BILL was th'


omission of our composition and we did no


detect it in reading the proof.
, 1t is rather pleasant to occasionally shiv
! er a lance with a cotemporary, but whei


that cotemporary misrepresents yourp plai'
} language, then the tilt becomes unpleas


ant.


| The State Sentinel cannot divert tn
minds of the people from the fact, that th
Democratic party proper, is opposed to tn
Homestead bill. That the Democrati
> President is opposed to it, azd that th
, Democratic South. the place where thi


disunion administration is sustained, a.
y most unanimously opposed it. Th
o State Sentinel knows that if the Hous
e bill passes the Senate, the President of lh
: United States stands ready to veto it, an
d he knows further, that the Democratic pal

answer no The Constitution Of The
United States does not carry Slavery into
the Territories. With much more show of
reason, may it be said that it carries Sla


yery into all the States. But it does not
carry Slavery anywhere. 1t only acts up


on il where it finds it established by the
local law. In connection with this point,
am asked to state my views of the Drei
Scott case, and what was really deterInin


ed by the Supreme Court in that ease. IL
is my opinion, carefully considered, that
the Court determined one single point OF
law only. That is, that Scott, the plaintiff,
being a negro, of African descent, not ne
cessarilysa slave, could not be citizen Of
Missouri, and therefore could not sue in
the Federal Court, and that for this reason
and this alone, the Circuit Court had nc
jurisdiction of the cause and no power to
give Judgment between the parties. The
only Jurisdiction which the Supreme CourI
had of the cause was for the purpose O


correcting the error of the Circuit Court il
assuming the power to decide on the mer
its of the case. This power the Suprem,
Court did exercise by setting aside th'
judgment Of the Circuit Court upon tn,
merits, aud by dismissing the suit withou

franklin Street Riot.-The Mayor yester-
day invest tigated the charge against Jackson
Crouch and Allen McGregor, of Hanover
county, of assaulting and beating Justice Geo.
L. Sadler, on Saturday last, while in the dis
charge of his duty. Six or seven witnesses


were examined for the Common wealth, and


the same number for the defence, each side
seeing the difficulty in different lights. The


witnesses for the Comm wealth testified that


Crouch charged Justice Sadler with protect


ing negro, who had insulted two lads from


Hanoyer-told him he was no better than the


negro-gave him the id lie, and then struck


him; and that McGregor voluntarily told


them, after the affray, that he cribbed or box


ed Justice Sadler 10 prevent him from knock
Ing out the brains of Crouch with stick


which he had in his hand. The witnesses for


the defence testified that Justice Sadler gave


the ID lie and the first blow, and that Nc
Gregor merely caught his arms to prevent
him from using his stick. When the row
commenced, several citizens who knew JUS


tlce Sadler, rushed to his rescue, striking right
and left at friend aud foe; but for want OF ell
bow room, none of the blows were very eftec-
tive, and no one was injured, save and except
Crouch, who, in attempting to get away from
the crowd that pecked upon him, fell in the
street and bruised his face and one arm.


The Mayor, after hearing all the evidence,
determined to send the parties accused to the
Grand Jury on the second Monday in No
vember next, to answer for misdemeanor,
and admitted them to bail for their appear

THE TEXAS TRoUBLEs.-It would appear
from the following extract from the New Or
leans Picayune, that the idea of freedom for
the slave, in any other than merely licea tious
sense, has never been en- ter tanned by the movers
or abettors of the instruction in Texas. The
Picayune says:


"In looking through the great mass of de.
tails with which the Texas papers have been
loaded, we see no evidence of any concerted
plot among the negroes for permanent insur.
rection against the authority of the whites
There are no specifications given, ever sur
missed, that those who were in the plot against
life or property had any serious plan for set
ting themselves at liberty, OF projects arranged
for escaping from the punishment of these
crimes. So tar as we can understand il, as
developed, the purposes of the con spiracy were
mere wanton mIschief-murder and arson
without any definite idea of what the actors
were TO gain for themselves. Doubtless, the
uppermost idea was that OF unrestrained riot,
the luxury of unbounded license, in the imme-
diate qualification Of every animal appetite,
the orgies of idleness, gluttony and lust. But
there does not seem TO have been directing
mind of definite purpose, beyond the satur-
MALTA OF the hour, where they should go, and
what they should do after the success of their
murderous purposes, in order to escape the
iron grasp OF punishment"

One of the most eminent American
divines, who has for some time been COM
PEELED to forego the pleasure Of reading,
has spent some thousands of dollars in
vain, and lost years of time, in conse-
quence of getting up several hours be-
fore day and studying by artificial light.
His eyes will never get well.


Multitudes of men and women have
made their eyes weak for life, by the too
free use Of eyesight in reading fine print
and doing fine sewing. In view of these
things, it will be well to observe the fol-
lowing rules in the use of the eyes:


Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness.


Never begin to read, write or sew, for
several minutes after coming from dark
ness to bright light.


Never read by twilight, or moonlight,
or on very cloudy day.


Never read or sew directly in front of
the light, or window, or door.


1t is best to have the light fall from
above obliquely, over the left shoulder.


Never sleep so that, on the first awake
ing, the eye shall open on the light Of
window.


DO not use the eyesight by light to
scant that it requires an effort to discrim-
mate.


The moment you are instinctively
prompted TO rub the eyes, that moment
cease using them.


If the eyelds are glued together on
walking up, do not forcibly open them;
but apply the saliva with the finger-it
is the speediest dilutant in the world;
then wash your eyes and face in warm
water--HaWs Journal Of Health.

spectators was one of excited enthusi.
asm, which found vent in a new burst ol
applause, in compliment to the successful
matador


The door by which the riders had en-
tered was thrown open, and the trump
cts again sounded. when in came foul
well caparisoned horses driven at gal
lop, and harnessed TO a small pair ol
wheels. They stopped abruptly in front
of the carcass, and the head of the one
was quickly buckled to the axale of the
other, which being done, the driver, en-
poStillion of one of the horses, cracked his
whip, and away they galloped, dragging
the slain along the ground after them,
and disappearing the moment they pass
ed the doorway. The equestrians toll
lowed at the same rapid pace, and with
them the sickening spectacle of the bull
gored horse.


At another one Of these entertain
ments there were two new incidents
worthy of mention. A negro figure,
made Of squibs, rockets and other ffe-
works, was placed in the ring to await
the charge of the bull. The consequence
was that when he plunged his horns into
it these explosive materials burst about
his ears in hundred irregular darts
Increased rage on his part, and much
laughter and merriment among the null
titude, were the immediate results of this
scoriiication. The second novelty was
this A long, iron-headed spear, about
eight inches in circumference, was held
by one of the capeadores in such a posi-
ton that while one end rested on the
ground against spike, which prevented
its slipping back, the other and spear end
pointed towards the door through which
the bulls entered the arena. The door
was flung open, and the kneeling per-
former, who leaned forward with his
chest against the pole, poised the latter
steadily, and as the bull came bounding
forward into the ring he directed the
sharp point of the spear between his eyes.
The instantaneous result was that the
pole, owing to the force of the animals
plunge, passed through his head and
came out at the abdomen.


The sudden death Of the bull and the
plaudits Of the ten thousand were simul
taneous. "pIra! Vwa r' resounded
again and again round the arena, and
this was the last act in tho brutal play.
The gay throng sailed out into the Al
ameda And all went merry as mar
