"The principle of the tariff of 1342.
as far as related to the manufacture of
IRON, of any description, or of every
description was NOT TOO HIGH,"—
HEJ\RY D. FOSTER.
The Irrepressible Conflict.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the Black Republican
aominee for President of the United States, is the
author of the annexed treasonable, fanatical and
revolutionary doctrine. It was announced by him
prior t<v Seward's "Irrepressible Conflict" Roches
ter speech, the leading idea of which it embodies,
end was the basis of all his arguments against Ste
phen A. Douglas in IS-SB, by whom he was defeated
for the U. S. Senate. Let the conservative masses
reflect upon this startling doctrine, and let patriots
shrink from it as from a serpent whose sting is
death !
"We are now far into the fifth yearsince apolicy
was initiated with the avowed object and confident
promise of putting an end to slavery agitation
Under the operation of that policy, that agitation
has not only not ceased, but has constantly aug
mented. In my opinion, it will not cease until a
crisis shall have been leached and passed. A house
divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this
government cannot endure permanently half slave
and half free. Ido not expect the Union to be dis
solved—l do not expect the house to fall—but Ido
expect it will cease to be divided. It will lecome
all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents
of slavery will arrest the farther spread of it, and
place it where the public mind shall rest in the be
lief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction, or
its advocates will push it forward till it shall be
come alike lawful in all the States, old as well
as new—North as well as South."

THE DIFFERENCE.
HON. HENRY D. FOSTER, the Democratic
candidate tor Governor, is at VVashington, work
ing lor the Tariff and the interests of Penn
sylvania. He is making strong appeals to the
Senate to pass the Tariff bill. How noble hi#
conduct wnen contrasted with that ol his com
petitor, Mr. Curtin, who instead of going to
VVashington to help the Tariff on its passage,
goes to Chicago and in company with such
fanatics as GIDDINGS, CURTIS and other Aboli
tionists, delivers windy and gaseous harangues
in favor of Black Republicanism ! What sav
the Tariff men of Bedford county tojsuch.canduct
when their best interests are at stake ? "Harry
of the West," is the man for Pennsylvania !
requested to announce that the
Annual Exhibition ol the Allegheny Seminary,
at Rainsburg, will take place on Thursday, the
21st inst. The Exercises will commence at
1 o'clock, P. M.
" The Hit at the American Party."
The organ o( the abolitionized Opposition i n
this county, contained the tallowing remarks
in regard to the "Republican" platform, in its
issue ol June 29th, 1856 :
"We publish the Republican platform in
auother column. The Platform is all right in
itself, except the kit at the American party
contained in its last plank."
Now, what was this "last plank" that gave
such a hard ''hit" to Americanism ? We quote
it from the same issue ol the same paper, word
for word, as follows :
"Resolved, That we cordially invite the
affiliation and co-operation of the men of all
parties, however different from us in other re
spects, in support of the principles herein de
clared, and believing that the spirit of our in
stitutions, as well as the Constitution of our
country, guarantees liberty of conscience and
equality of rights among citizens, we oppose
all legislation impairing their security."
This was a mere "glittering generality"
when compared with the direct repudiation of
Americanism by the Chicago Convention, and
it it a blow at the peculiar doctrine ol
the "Americans," it was certainly levelled at
random. Notwithstanding this, however, it
was sufficient to arouse the ire of the then
watchful Cerberus of Bedford county "Ameri
canism." But, alas ! and alack ! for the "Sons
of the Sires!" "Republican" Conventions
can now meet and insult "Americanism" with
out eveD so much as eliciting a bark or a growl
from their former watcn-dog. That once ter
rible mastiff has lost all his "native" teeth, and
now shows nothing but the simon-pure African
ivory. The Chicago Convention can just say
what it pleases about Americanism and Cer
berus swallows it right down. The sop thrown
him by Tom Ford has wonderfully improved
his appetite for Black Republican dictation.—
He "strains"*tremendouslv at a "Constitutional
Union" gnat, but swallows a Black Republi
can camel with the greatest imaginable ease.
He has no idea of becoming lean baying the
declining moon of Americanism. Not he.—
His eye is steadily directed to the main chance.
What is principle to him, when money is sta
ked against it ? The Chicago Convention
might have put forty "Dutcn planks" in its
platform, and might have manufactured them
all out of "Dutch cheese," seasoned with splin
ters of Lincoln's rails, and he would have gulp
ed them all down his political gullet, without
even winking an eye or making a wry face.
HARMONY AT BALTIMORE.
There is at present a fair prospect of a
Harmonious result at Baltimore. The Rich
mond Convention, called by the delegates who
seceded from the Charleston Convention, will
adjourn over to Baltimore, without making a
nomination. Besides this, some of the best men
in the South are using every effort to secure
peace and harmony in the ranks. Even many
of the seceders seem now to be anxio us for con
ciliation. There will, doubtless, be a stormy
time during the first sittings of the Convention,
but we doubt not that better counsels will pre
vail in the eQd. Should there be another se
cession and should the extremists nominate a
ticket of their own, we will at least notj be
worse off than the Opposition who are already
divided between rival candidates. In 1852,
when Franklin Pierce was elected by such an
overwhelming majority, the Democracy had a
similar trouble to contend against in the South.
A separate ticket was run in a number of the
Southern states, and yet it came to nothing in
the end. The same men were at the head of
that movement that are now trying to disrupt
the party and they succeeded about as well as
they will in their present attempt. Stick a
I pin there.
BELL AND EVERETT.
A sharp contest is at present going on in the
Opposition ranks, between the so-called "Re
publican" leaders and the old Whig and "A
merican" champions that have recently been
assisting the "Republicans" in fighting their
battles. Nearly all ol the latter repudiate Lin
coln and the "Dutch plank," and go for Bell
and Everett. In the Eastern part of this state,
in New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island,
this is especially the case. We are informed
that in Philadelphia alone, the Bell ticket
will run half, if not more, of the Opposition
vote. In Montgomery, Carbon, Luzerne,
Huntingdon and Bla<r, the "Americans" are
bitterly opposed to the Chicago nominations,
and even here in Bedford, we have signs of an
out-break in favor of Bell and Everett. We
know of some fifteen, or twenty, of the most
respectable men in the Opposition ranks in
this borough, who have declared themselves
for Bell. We hear of numbers in other parts
of the county. In fact there is no telling but
what the Demociacy will be called upon to
fighi Bell instead of Lincoln. We hope the
Opposition in this county will stick to Lincoln,
for we think "Old Abe's" abolitionism, togeth
er with his "Dutch plank," will operate most
I effectually to cool the ardor of the faithful.
NOT NATIONAL.
One of the Resolutions contained in the
Chicago" Republican" platform when read to
the Convention, referred to the party as the
"National Republican Party," whereupon
JUDGE JESSUP, of this state, Chairman of the
Committee on Platform, arose and said that
the word jYitional had no connexion with and
was no part of the "Republican" name. The
word was accordingly expunged, and the "Re
publican" party now boldly sails under section
al colors. This fact appears in the proceedings
of the Chicago Convention as published in the
Black Republican papers, and, therefore, can
not be denied by the members of that party.
Great Britain represented in the Chicago
Republican Convention!
It has frequently been charged upon the
Black Republican party, that like its ante'.ype,
the "blue light" Federal party, it is in close
communion and sympathy with the British.—
This charge has been well sustained by the
evidence of circumstances, for instance such
men as W. Lloyd Garrison, an unnaturalized
Englishman, publishing papers and delivering
j speeches in advocacy ol the election of John C.
I Fremont, or the fact that the leaders of Black
Republicanism proclaimed themselves in lavor
of disunion and preached the doctrine of a
higher civil law than the Constitution, or the
connexion of RICHARD REALF, a British
subject, with the Harper's Ferry raid, of which
W. H. Seward, Joshua R. Giddings and other
eminent "Republicans" knew long before it
was attempted. But now we have positive
evidence that Black Republicanism is buf the
lineal successor of the Toryism of the Revolu
tion. It has been ascertained that M. T. E.
CHANDLER, a delegate to the Chicago Con
vention and one of the Vice Presidents of that
body, is a BRITISH SUBJECT, a resident
of Canada East, and is not now and nev
er was a citizen of the United States ! This
is true, every word of it, and for a more detailed
account ol the matter, we refer our readers to
the article on the first page, headed "the Chica
go Convention," copied from the columns of
the Philadelphia Inquirer, air Opposition pa
per. buch is Black Republicanism, aod by
such means has ABRAHAM LINCOLN been
foisted upon the people as a candidate for the
highest office in their gift ! Omy country,
has it come to this !
LIFE OF GEN. FOSTER.—MESSRS. JAMES
KEENAN & Co., Greensburg, Pa., have just
issued in pamphlet farm, a LIFE OF HENRY D.
FOSTER, the Democratic candidate for Gover
nor of Pennsylvania. It is gotten up in good
style, and should be in the hands of every wor
king Democrat in the State.
Local and Miscellaneous.
. .. .EARLY VEGETABLES.—MR. JOHN FLEM
ING, Gardener at the Bedford Springs, brought
us, a few days ago, some fine specimens of full
grown peas raised by him the present season.
Accompanying these extraordinary peas, was a
stalk of asparagus an inch in thickness. Truly
the soil of Old Bedlord is productive !
... .We learn with profound rpgret, of the
decease of NICHOLAS KEGG, ESQ., of Juniata "tp.
MR. KEGG was a useful and highly respected
citizen. We knew him intimately for tne last
few years, and found in his character the vir
tues of a Chi istian gentleman, and frequently
had occasion to admire his kindness of heart and
generous nature. May he rest in peace !
"RAIN! RAIN! RAIN! Will it never
cease raining ?" is the halt-angry question upon
the lips of many, who have grown somewhat
weary of the pluvious state of the weather
The fact is that we have had a little more mois
ture than we could relish, but June rains are
infinitely preferable to June frosts. So, like
the old fellow who, being troubled at intervals
with a number of painful diseases, thanked bis
stars that he had not all of them at once, let us
be thankful that we have nothing worse to com
plain of than the bounteous rain.
. .. .The Regimental Parade at Bloody Run,
on Tuesday last, came off in fine style. Three
companies were in attendance, the Hopewell
Riflemen, Bloody Run Blues and Clearville
Blues, and also a portion ol the Cumberland
Valley Blues. The regiment was formed into
line by Adjutant Gump, and commanded by
Col. Thomas W. Horton, assisted by Lieut. Col.
Tate, iMaj. Dibertand Capt. Jos. Reed, Aid to
Col. Horton.
The new company, Clearville Blues, Capt.
Mixell, was organized by Maj. Sansom, the
the Brigade Inspector, and made a very fine
appearance. Ihe Clearville boys deserve great
credit for the manner in which they have got
ten up their company. Military displays are
becoming quite fashionable in Bedford county,
and we think the Major General of this Divi
sion should recognize this spirit of enterprise on
the part of our Military, by giving us an en
campment during the summer, or fall. What
you, General Bell ?
... .A SLY FELLOW.— We observe by the list
of arrivals at the Cross Keys Hotel, McC'on
nellsburg, as published in the Fulton Republi
can, that "Dr. C. JV*. Hickok and wife," of
Bedford, have been stopping at that place.
The Doctor is a sly fellow and needs watching.
He has returned to this place and insists that
the registration at the "Cross Keys," is incor
rect. We see, also, that he has subsidized the
local of the Fulton Democrat, who pretends to
correct the Hotel register.
... .It will be seen by reference to an arti
cle in to-day's Gazette, over the signature of
JOHN CESSNA, Esq., that that gentleman
declines to allow bis name to be used in con
nection with the Democratic nomination fer
Congress. Mr. Cessna's letter breathes the
spirit of a true Democrat, and its temper is
eminently worthy of emulation on the part of
those who someTimes suffer their personal
ambition to override the interests and welfare
of their party.
....The Democratic delegate elections
which are to come off in a short time through
out the county, should be conducted in a spirit
of harmony and mutual concession. It should
be the object of the County Convention to pro
mote the interests of the party, rather than of
individuals. Let there be a good ticket
nominated, the merits and demerits of the re
spective candidates fairly and fearlessly
weighed in the balance of justice, and all will
be well.
... .Flat, stale and unprofitable,—the meet
ing ol the "Spotties," on Tuesday night.—
"Spotty Lincoln" and the modern Hannibal
are a heavy dose tor the Opposition.
... .See advertisement of Shires' Machine
Shop in another column. Mr. Shires' manufac
tures give great satislaction.
[Gr~The following is from one of the firmest
and most influential Democrats in the Northern
part of the county :
STONERSTOWN, June 2d,'60.
MR. MEYERS :
I beg leave to introduce the name of Mi
chael I luke, Esq., of Hopewell township, as a
candidate for County Commissioner. He has
always been a Democrat, working tor the party
and advancing its interests in his own locality,
has never asked for the most humble office, and
the township in which he lives (Hopewell)
has heretofore been overlooked by the Democra
cyin selecting candidates. He is deserving, com
petent and reliable, and will make an economi
cal officer, as the management of his own do
mestic affaus charl)* demonstrates.
Yours Truly,
LIBERTY.
TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF
BEDFORD COUNTY :
Several inquiries have been made of me du
ring the last few months, upon the subject of
the next nomination tor Congress in this Dis
trict. Until recently I have not given a deci
ded answer to such inquiries. 1 desire to say,
now, to my friends of the party, that I am not
a candidate for any office, nor do I wish my
name used in connection with the Congressional
nomination. The District can and must elect
a Democrat next fall, and no matter what
candidate shall be nominated, my aid will be
cheerfully given to promote his election. To
my friends who have urged me for the posi
tion, I return my hearty thanks.
JOHN CESSNA.
BEDFORD, June Bth, 1860.
Douglas and Lincoln.
A great deal of stress is laid, by the Repub
lican press, upon the alleged fact that ABRA
HAM LINCOLN, in the great contest for the Uni
ted States Senatorship in 1858, carried the pop
ular majority, although DOUGLAS succeeded in
carrying the Legislature. There is a slight mis
take in this. The alleged fact is not a fact.
The vote of Illinois in 1858 on the Stat? ticket
was for MILLER, Republican candidate for State
Treasurer, 125,4-62 ; for FONDEY, Douglas
Democrat, 121,889; DOUGHERTY, Buchanan
Democrat, 5,021 —making the result:
For Miller, Rep 125,462.
" Fondey, Doug. Dem. 121,889
" Dougherty, Bucb 5,021 126,910
Actual Democratic maj. 1,4-4-8
In 1856 MILLER'S major ity, as a candidate
for the same office was 21,032 ; so that the ac
tual Democratic gain in 1858, when DOUGLAS
slumped the Slate against LINCOLN, was 22,-
480. A Democratic colemporary well observes,
"Now, it being a fact that Mr. DOUGLAS pitted'
against Mr. Lincoln did wipe out a Republican
majority of over 21.000 in two years in a sin
gle State, when the contest was only for the
Ser.atorship, what do our Republican friends
suppose would become of Mr. Lincoln and his
party at the end of another two years, when
the contest is for the Presidency of the United
States f Surely, their fate will be like that of
Pharaoh's host in the Rec! Sea."
KICKING AGAINST THE PLATFORM The Dai
ly News, one of the organs of the so-called
"People's Party" in Philadelphia, hesi'ates a
bout supporting the nominations of the Chicago
Convention. It takes great offence at what°it
calls, in derision, the "Dutch plank'' in the
Republican platform, which it considers a mean
and truckling attempt to barter away the "A
mtjrican" vote of the Eastern States for the
German vote ol the North-west. The News
says:
"This we esteem to be simply an insult to
the American element, which constitutes so
jiowerlul a portion of the People's Party in
Pennsylvania, and as such we not only eschew
it, but denounce it is a proposition unfit to be
put forth by any body of men professing to act
in opposition to the Loco Foco party. The day
has not yeCcorae when Americans will give up
their Shibboleth, and although it may be es
teemed as expedient and prudent to postpone a
discussion of these distinctive viws, until the
great question of "black or white" shall be de
termined and disposed of in some way the
gentlemen who voted in this plank, as well as
the crowd which dictated it, may rest assured
that the paramount doctrines of Americanism
must and shall be respected."
THE IRREFRESSJBLE CONFLICT. —The testi
mony of the Albany Evening Journal (Thur
low Weed's paper, Seward's organ) in regard to
the peculiar stripe of Abram Lincoln's politics,
is presumed to be disinterested, and therefore is
of some value. Says that paper :
"Conservatism, in its modern and odious
sense, has no representative in Mr. Lincoln.—
His war against injustice, inhumanity and sla
very is of the "irrepressible" sort, and he has
no sympathy with those who would whisper
epithets against oppression in any form if he
be a rough diamond he is a sound one. He holds
time-servers and cowards in contempt, and
would as soon "cotton" to a pickpocket as to a
"doughface." This is his attitude now. Hhe
be as wise as he is thorough, he will permit no
titmd friend to swerve him lrom his position,
and will "take no step backward" to conciliate
those "whose touch is deatti:**
STAND FROM UNDER.
The friends of Seward in New York, a pow
erful majority of the Abolition party, are all
ready manifesting symptoms of a grand bolt.
The Tribune, anti-Seward organ, thus sneering
ly announces the fact and threatens its authors:
"We hear that some prominent members of
the Albany lobby, who have hitherto professed
to be Republicans, express their determination
to bolt the Chicago nomination. This is *ood
news. If a few members of the Legislature of
the same stripe would join them, it would be a
great blessing to the party, and a great help to
the ticked."
CHURCH DEDICATION.
The second Quarterly meeting, for Pleasant
Grove circuit, will be held at Centrevilfe Bed
ford Co., Pa., on the 23d and 24th of this month,
at which time, the new Church, will be dedi
cated to the worship of God. A number of
Ministers are expected to be present. The com
munity generally are invited to attend.
CHAS. KALBFUS
THE RAILROAD EXCITEMENT.
The Railroad Convention recently held at
Harrisburg, the object of which seemed to be to
demonstrate the feasibility of a proposed pro
ject to connect New York by a direct line with
some point on the Connellsville Railroad, has
i created quite a buzz among capitalists and o
! thers interested in rival routes. The annexed
article, which we take from the Cumberland
(Md.) Bulletin, serves to show that Baltimore is
for once becoming slightly awake to ber inter
ests, and gives a faint assurance that probably
her monied men will get their eyes open bv
and-by. We can assure the Baltimore Patriot
that the object of the Harrisburg Convention
will not "evaporate in promises and resolves,"
and even if it should, there is a power before
which the financiers of Baltimore may well fear
and tremble, whose interest it will be to extend
the Bedford Railroad, now in course of con
struction, westward to the great coal basin
through which the route of the Connellsville
Railroad passes. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company reaps already an immense revenue
from such "feeders," and we doubt not that if
the people of Somerset and Bedford would put
their shoulders to the wheel, they could reason
ably expect todeiive such assistance from that
Company as would insure the making of a road
over the fifty miles between this place and the
Somerset county coal regions.
As we announced several weeks back a con
vention has beeen held at Harrisburg, Pa., to
divert the Connellsville Rail-road connection,
eastward and northward from its original design,
which was to connect with the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail-road, here at Cumberland. That
this has not been done or cannot be done is cer
tainly a misfortune for Cumberland, and now,
as may be seen from the movements on the part
of northern interests this prize is in a fair way
ol being for ever lost to Cumberland. We com
mend the following remarks from the Baltimore
Patriot of a late date to the attention of the rea
der. Baltimore has many natural and acquired
advantages but like Cumberland she too is some
times rather slow to move.
The New Yorkers, says the Patriot, have
been sirring up the Pennsy Ivanians through the
tract o! country leading from Harrisburg to the
South-West, and so well have they succeeded
that the latter have recently held a grand rail
road meeting at Harrisburg, to find out wheth
er they cannot circumvent the stirrers up in
their designs. The question is, who shall have
the trade of the region Soulh-West of Harris
burg, Baltimore or New York ? The New
Yorkers are determined to build a road from
Harrisburg to the South-West, and the Cham
bersburgeans want to connect the Tape Worm
Road with Connellsville. Wh'ch ever party
is first in the field, will get the trade.
The New Yorkers already own the Lebanon
Valley or Dauphin Railroad, and what they
want now is to extend it South-Westward.
It will cost them over a million, but they will
nevertheless build it, and unless those on the
spot step in, and make the connection at once
from Thad Stevens' Tape Worm Road to Con
nellsville, they will get the "cream oflhejoke."
It is proposed to use the charter for the Road
from Chambersburg to Connellsvillp, and it is
believed, that the counties of Fulton, Bedford,
and Somerset, will subscribe lipavily towards
the capital, if the balance can be gotten else
where, say, in this city. It is suggested that
the Tape Worm Road be tapped West
of Gettysburg, by a line direct to Chambersburg,
(which ha* already been surveyed,) thence to
Burnt Cabins, 30 miles, and thence to Connells
vi lie.
This would give a Central Road from Balti
more to Wheeling and Pittsburg, about equi
distant between the Baltimore and Ohio and
Pennsylvania Central, and some fifty miles shor
ter, while it would penetrate the coal and iron
regions of Pennsylvania, and drain to Baltimore
the vast trade of those sections of Pennsylva
nia.
Here is an opportunity for Baltimore mer
chants and capitalists to strike a blow in favor
of our city, which can never be availed of a
gain. What the Harrishurg meeting did, we
do not know, but presume it evaporated in prom
ises and resolves. Ten monied men from this
city, who would repair to Chambersburg, and
examine Bhis route for themselves,
mine to build the road under the Connelisville
charter, would speedily consummate the desi
red connection. But the chances are, that the
New Yorkers will tap the Chambersburg re
gion by a line from Harrisburg to Burnt Cabins,
72 miles in length, much of it on trussel work
and thiough tunnels, while we shall be talking
about the matter.
We hope these hints will meet the eye and
attention of our capitalists, and that they will
not let the matter sleep. Baltimore is alwavs
far too sleepy for her best interests.
P- S.— But we of Cumberland very much
doubt whether it is as greatly to the interest of
Baltimore to consummate the above arrange
ment as it would be to complete the Connelis
ville road to this point, and it certainly would
not result advantageously to the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail-road. The Bulletin wants to see the
Connelisville road extended to Cumberland—a
double track hence to Baltimore—railroad or
cood turn-pike northward, and the same south
ward with a bridge over the Potomac,—and
reasonable way freights and free tickets to ed
itors on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-road.
[rr-Keep it before the people, that Hamlin,
the nominee of the Republicans for Vice Presi
dent, is and always has been, an open and deci
ded free-trade man ! The Republicans of Penn
sylvahia profess great friendship and zeal for a
protective tariff, but they always support free
traders for office. Thus, thej' nominated "tree
trade Wilmot" for Governor in 1857, and now
they nominate Hamlin, another free-trader for
Vice President. What miserable hypocrisy
Let the people of the Old Keystone, who a'r
honestly in favor of a protective tariff, think of
these facts, and then act.— Clinton Democrat.

Be of good Cheer.- Debility and Languor
Out of many there is but one infallible remedy
"Holloway 8 World renowned Hills," and on
lyone source of this disorder, the stomach
and the action of the brain, we can easily un
derstand the "rationale" of Hollowav'. tre'
ment. Through the stomach and the circula
tion his Pills act on the general system, and bv
purifimg the blood, renovating the digestive or
gans, and stimulating the secretions of the liver
they give buoyancy to the animal spirits, elas-'
ticity to the body, and vigor to the whole con
stitution. Holloway's Ointment is the only
sure remedy fbr old sores, ulcerated legs, cuta
neous eruptions, &c.
of the most prevalent, and at the
same time troublesome and painful diseases that
attend the human flesh, is the Fever and Ague,
ror a long time the medical world have been
continually bringing forth numerous speciflcs
lor its permanent cure ; but all without effect.
Dr. J. Hostetter, an experienced and celebra
ted physician, has succeeded in furnishing the
j public with a valuable preparation for the cure
of fever & Ague. The steady and increasing
demand lately made lor the "Bitters," and the
universal success attending its use have trade
for it a reputation unsurpassed by any speci6c
of the kind. For the cure of the Fever and
Ague, Dr. Hosteller's celebrated Stomach Bit
ters must and should claim a superiority over
any other preparation exlant.

of Mr. Frederick Sill, agd 18 years, 4 months
and 16 days.
Death is a scene with which we can never
become lamiliar. In whatever form it may pre
sent itself to our view, it is still appalling, and
the heart must ever recoil at the idea of seeing
those near and dear to it clasped in the icy em
brace of Death.
Our lamented friend was tried by Providence
with lingering and severe affliction, and, though
short her pilgrimage upon earth, she vet died
m full maturity, having lived for God and eter
nity.
j Oh ! how reluctantly have not for.d parents
and a devoted husband yielded up the precious
; treasure ; and yet howevei repugnant it may
have been to the feelings, fhe mandate ofhi*h
Heaven has oeen obeyed in restoring that form
to its mother earth. She is gone, forever gone;
no kindness, no sorrow of nature can re-anni
mate the clay.
But raised your thoughts from the grave in
which you have deposited the body—and
though the event has caused many painful sen
sations, forget not, that it was ordered by a God
of love. True, you cannot judge os His object
in afflicting so grievously, yet rest asssured it
will ultimately result in benefit.—This world is
at best but a varied scene of trials and disap
pointments—prolonged life is but a prolonga
tion of sorrow and suffering.
Regret not, then, that an inscrutable Provi
nence has removed your friend from it ; the
pangs of death are now over, and she whose loss
you mourn as a companion—a mother for help
less infancy—a daughter and friend, is now hap
py in that spirit-land, where care can never
reach her, for the Lamb is the light of it—and
in His presence sorrow and sighing shall forev
er nee away.
SUE.
