When Col. D was a candidate
for Congress in ono of tho Northwes
tern States, he was opposed to a gen
tleman w ho had distinguished himself
in the warofH12. Discovering, in
the course of the canvass, that his op
ponent's military reputation was ope
rating strongly to his prejudice, ho
concluded to let the people know that
he was not unknown to fame as a sol
dier himself; and accordingly, in his
next speech, ho expatiated on Ids a
chievements in the tented field as fol
lows: My competiti r has told you of the
services he rendered the last war.
Let me tell you that I, too, acted an
humble part in that memorable con
test. When the tocsin of war sum
moned the chivalry of tho West to
rally to the defence of the national
honor, I, fellow-citizens, animated by
that patriotic spirit which glows in
every American bosom, hired a sub

of a little babe in New Sharon, a few
days since, says the Gospel Banner, a
circumstance occurred, remarkably
cheering an d suggestive: The little
one, all beautifully robed for tho
grave, was laid in its coffin, on tho
morning of its burial, The. weeping
friends placed" in its little hand a,
small boquet of flowers, among which
was an unopened rose-bud of tho
"Hose of Sharon." The lid was then
placed upon the coffin, and the funer-i
al service performed. When, after
tho lapse of not more than two or
three hours, the coffin was opened
again, and the friends gathered round
to look upon it for the last time, that
bud had becotno a full-blown rose,
while grasped in the cold hand of
death. It seemed as though a voice,
came up from these beautifully seaicd!
lips, saying, "Weep not for me; though
broken from the parent stem I am
blooming in the Paradise of God.
Millions of infant souls compose the
family above."
