AN APPEAL TO THE DEMOCRACY.
The democracy of Georgia must re-unite.
We iiave fought too long together, in the migh
ty contest for principle, to be severed now, by
the tricks and management of our old adversa
ries. We have fought them upon the Tariff;
upon the U. States Bank ; upon the Indepen
dent Treasury ; upon the Annexation of Texas;
and upon the Mexican War, Ac. &c.; and can
not now he beguiled into their support, under
anew name! Let all who claim to be dem
ocrats, lay down the prejudices, which grew out
of the sectional controversy of 1850, and rally
once more to the support of Gen’l Piekce’s
administration. We all supported Franklin
Pierce for President; he has shown himself
worthy of the demoernpy, and we must sustain
him so long as he is worthy of our confidence.
The whigs, under the name of Union and Con
servatism, have made war upon that adminis
tration without cause ; and yet expect demo
crats to fall back upon the division of 1850,
and go with them. We must bury our animosi
ties, and stand by the administration. The Un
ion party, based upon questions wholly sectional,
was formally dissolved. Read Mr. Jenkins’
letter.
They have published its dissolution time and
again. We have acted upon it. We voted for
Franklin Pierce for President, while Toombs,
Stephens, Jenkins, and others, opposed his
election. We triumphed over both the tickets
set up by these Conservative loaders ; when lo !
they attempt to set up the divisions of 1850
again, divide the democracy, and battle down
the President you have elected. We call upon
you then as democrats ; and ask you not to be
deceived by your old adversaries, but stand by
the administration of your choice. In every
part ol the State, strong Union-men are ask
ing for a faithful adhesion to democracy. Gov,
Cobb stands at the head in his efforts to harmo
nize the democracy. Judge Lumpkin, Judge
Cole, Judge Powers, and others, are showing
themselves above the prejudices of the hour.
1 will submit the thoughts and feelings of othe r
Union democrats u; on this subject. They are
worthy to he read and remembered. Read them,
fellow-democrats, and place yourselves where
von have ever been, in the line of battle, which
caused democracy to triumph.
MR. CH APPELL’S LETTER.
Mr, A, H. Chappell, a Union Democrat,
j had been suggested by a correspondent of
the Journal dp Messenger, over the signa
ture of “Bibb,” as a candidate ’of the Con
servative party for Congress, under the as
sumption that the Union party had been re-or
ganised, and that lie as a Union man would “re
sume his proper position in it.’’ In allusion to
this supposed state of facts, Mr, Chappell very
forcibly and truly remarks:
! “The party now in the field (the Conserva
tive) and to which ’Bibb’ evidently adheres, and
with which he would have me to act, does not
even announce itself to the world as the Union
party. The omission to do so in the proceed
ings of the late Gubernatorial Convention at
Milledgeville, is certainly a very significant cir- j
cun I stance. It plainly argues that the opinion
of that Convention in regard to the fact of the j
re-organization of the Union party, is quite dis- j
ferent from the opinion entertained by ‘Bibb.’ j
“But it is not the name, or the want of a
name, of the party to which ‘Bibb’ alludes, that
creates the insuperable obstacle to my acting
with it. lam a friend and supporter of the
present Democratic Administration of the Gene
ral Government. I contributed by my vote to
the bringing of that Administration into power.
I have confidence in the great national party by
which that Administration was brought into j
power. Os course, I cannot consistently with
my views and conv’ctions on national politics,
take position in the ranks of a party in Georgia,
which is inevitably destined, as I think, to be
an Opposition party —a party antagonistic to
Gen. Pierce’s Administration and to the Na
tional Democracy. The Northern Democratic
party has, in my opinion, from the days of Jeffer
son down to the present hour, been character
ized in the main, by friendliness and justice to
the South. They iiave stood by us in a thousand
trials; they have fought, and either conquer
ed or fallen for us in a thousand hard political
battles. Yes! and they were, as a body, with us
in that last and greatest battle of all, the battle
upon the Compromise questions growing out of
the acquisition of New Mexico and California.
I cannot bring myself to turn my back on such
a Northern party, and on an Administration
which I concurred with it in electing, until it
shall manifest a spirit and a conduct signally
discordant with the general tone of its past his
tory and character My devotion to the South
led me in 1844, when representing the State in
Congress, to east off all political connection
with the Northern Whigs, because I saw and
knew for myself, that as a mass, they were in
tensely leavened, thoroughly penetrated with
hostility to the South. From that period I have
been led by the same devotion to the South, lo
advocate the policy of acting with and sustain
ing the Northern Democratic party, because I
saw and knew for myself, that that party was,
as a body, thoroughly imbued with just feel
ings and a friendly bias towards the South, and
acted habitually under the influence of such
feelings.
“Under these circumstances, and entertaining
these convictions, it is of course impossible for
me to identify myself with any party in Geor
gia, under whose banner 1 would inevitably, as
1 believe, soon find myself in a position of al
liance with the National Whig Party, and of
hostility to that National Democratic Party, to
which l have long been attached, which I have
just helped to carry into power, and in which
1 stiff have confidence, although some tilings
have transpired iu appointments to office by
the President, which I could have wished had
been otherwise.
“Nevertheless, being an optimist in politics,
(if I may borrow a phrase from that great states
man, Mr. Buchanan,) 1 shall continue to sup
port Gen, Pierce’s Administration, and to act
with the party by which it is supported, until
something shall occur (which Heaven forbid)
making such a course no longer the best which
a Southern man can pursue.
Your obedient servant,
A. H. CHAPPELL.”
LETTER FROM COL. JOHN COLLIER.
Decatur, August sth, 1853.
Col. John Collier:
At a convention held at this place, on the ‘2d
inst., by a respectable portion of the Union par
ty of this county, for the purpose ot nominating
candidates for the Legislature, it affords me
much pleasure, as President of said Convention,
to he authorized to announce to you, that you
were selected as one of the candidates for the
Representative branch of the Legislature, and
solicit your acceptance of said nomination. An
early reply is desirable.
Yours, very respectfully,
WILLIAM KZZARD.
Atlanta, August (ith, 1853.
Hon. T Vm. Ezzard :
Dear Sir:—Your favor of the sth inst. has
been received, in which you (as the presiding of
ficer of a convention, held at Decatur on the 2d
inst., composed, as you state, of a respectable
portion of the Union party of DeKalb county,
for the purpose of nominating candidates to be
run for the Legislature,) are pleased to commu
nicate to me the intelligence, that i was. by that
convention selected as one of the candidates for
the Representative branch of the Legislature
iu the approaching eleetfon, and request my ac
ceptance, Ac., to which lat once reply, that I
must be permitted to decline the honor thus prof
fered.
It is immaterial to me by what name the par
ty may he called over whose convention you
had the honor to preside, and which selected
me as one of the candidates for the Representa
tive branch of the Legislature. it is the party
that is opposed to the administrative policy of
I President Pierce, as shadowed forth in his Inau-
I guru], and opposed to the cardinal principles of
the National Democratic party. It is the party
that favors the election of the Hon. Charles j.
Jenkins, the whig candidate for Governor of
Georgia, and the same party that favors the
Federal administrative policy of the National
Whig party.
That being true, and holding the political op
inions that I do, 1 cannot consent to he placed
in opposition to the National Democracy, and J
the administrative policy of Gen. Pierce, as in
dicated by liini in his Inaugural, and compelled,
by force of position, to favor the heresies of the
| National Whig party. 1 can see middle
ground—were there any, i have no desire to oc
| copy it.
i The issues of’so, that split up both the whig |
| and democratic parties, and which called into !
I existence the Union party, have been settled, j
| and both National parties liave in convention
; pledged themselves to maintain that settlement, i
That being so, it was very natural for the mem- !
hers of the Union party to dissolve their cornier.- !
tion, (which they did.) Indeed, it was inevit- I
aide -there being nothing upon which the Union :
organization could subsist. “Where there is no
fuel the fire goeth out.’’ Hence in ’52 the Union
democrats went heartily into the support of
Pierce and King, the National Democratic can
didates for President and Vice President. The
Union whigs went where 1 Scattered, some
for the democratic nominees, some for General
Scott and Graham, some for Webster and Jon
kins, and others for . So you see that
the dissolution ol the Union party in ’52 was
complete, (it previous to that time having ful
filled its mission,) and I must confess, that I can
see no necessity now for resuscitating it, if it
could he done. You and 1 maintained in ’SO and
’sl, that those vexed questions having been
settled, agitation should cease—peace and quiet
be restored—that the country required it. lam
of that opinion now, and therefore do not desire
to revive the party bickerings, eliminations and
! recriminations of’so and ’sl, when l can see
no good that can result to the country from it.
I These are some of the many reasons that
j liave induced me to decline a: cepting the honor
tendered.
1 thought it proper, as well as due to myself
and those who did me the honor to place me in
nomination, to make the statements that J have,
in order that my position might he known.
Whilst I may feel under very many obliga.
tions to any portion of my fellow-citizens nho
may be disposed to honor me with a post of
some distinction, I must he permitted, at the
same time, to pursue sujli a course of policy,
in political matters, as shall, to my mind, most
effectually tend to promote the best interests of
our whole country.
Very respectfully, your ob’t servant,
JOHN COLLIER.
[From the Cassviile Standard.]
TO UNION DEMOCRATS.
As we consider that we are, and always have
been, a Union democrat—aye, a full blooded one,
too, we claim the privilege of appealing to them
at this time. We know that efforts are making
to induce you to abandon, indirectly, your cher
ished principles ; your prejudices are appealed
to—you are told that new principles have been
engrafted in the democratic creed—that the right
of a Slate to secede at will, is henceforth to he
a cardinal of our party! It is true
that there are men in the democratic party
that hold these views, but they hold them not
as democrats, but as individuals. We pro”
test against the right of any man to proclaim
the principles of our party; that is left alone to
our national conventions; and at our last na
tional democratic convention the platform of our
principles was distinctly set forth, and upon
them Gen’i Pierce was elected, and he is look
ed upon as the representative of our party ; and
until he deserts or abandons that platform, all
democrats are bound to give him their adhesion
and support. No one lias charged Gen’l Pierce
with an open desertion of our principles, but he
is blamed for appointing men to office whose
antecedents give no guarantee of their devotion
to the faith of the democratic party. Admit
ting this to be true, ami that they were impoli
tic, yet if he carries out in good faith the prin
ciples upon which he was elected, lie will have
discharged his duty, and there is no cause of
complaint. Then we hold it to be the duty of
all democrats to support the administration and
its friends, and oppose its enemies. The enemies
of General Pierce are the opponents of the de
mocratic party ; and in the approaching Guber
natorial election let no democrat support Mr.
Jenkins—if he does, he indirectly abandons his
party Mr. Jenkins makes war upon the ad.-
ministration—he thereby makes war upon the
democratic party ; he is the enemy of our prin
ciples, open and avowed. Let Union democrats
pause before they vote for Jenkins, if any have
thought of such a thing. You cannot do so up
on principle, and never let your prejudices thus
govern your judgment. The principles of the
democratic party have not changed—they are
the same now as in the days of Jackson, and
we look upon him as having been nearer em
bodying its principles than any other man. We
are a democrat of the Jacksonian school, hon
estly, sincerely and devotedly. Mr. Polk was
one of his followers, and we have no doubt hut
that General Pierce will prove to be the same.
THE VOICE OF THE UNION.
We invite the attention of the Union Demo
crats especially to tiie unanswerable arguments
i addressed to them in the letter we to-day pub
lish, from J. A. Turner, Esq., of Putnam coun
ty. Mr. Turner was a Union Democrat, un
der the late division of parties in Georgia. He
went as far in the support of his party and his
principles as any member of that party. But
being a triend to the administration, and looking
forward to a cordial support of President Pierce,
he very naturally gives his sympathy and aid to
! the men and lhe party in his State who stand by
and defend his Administration.
The citizen conservatives, alias Federal
W Htcs of Georgia, have not exhibited their
usual sagacity and cunning in the arrangement
of the present campaign. They hoped to de
ceive the Union democrats, but neglected to
fortify their position in relation to the national
democracy and the Administration.
Union democrats have confidence in the
Platform of Principles laid down at Baltimore ;
they cherish the highest respect and the warm
est affection lor the noble leader who bore the
haulier of demoracy so proudly and victorious
ly in the ever memorable compaign of ’52.
They are not yet prepared to join Mr. Toombs
and Mr. Jenkins iu their crusade against the
man ol their choice. They intend to continue,
where they have been, national democrats, and ‘
all the arts ot their enemies will be powerless
to swerve them an iota from the path of duty.
The letter of Mr. Turner is forcibly written,
and will do an acceptable office in many por
tions of the State.— Federal Union
Remember, that the Toombs and Stephens
party got up at Milledgeville, no matter by what
name called, opposed Pikkce’s election and
are against bis administration. Mr. Jenkins,
the candidate for Governor, ami every candi--
date they have placed in nomination for Con
gress, voted against Pierce and tiro opposed to
democracy. Will any democrat support them ?
I will not.

The Progress of the Canvass.
Calhoun, Aug. 17.
M tssrs. Editors : —I avail myself of a leisure
hour, awaiting the arrival of the cars, to advise you
of passing events in Cherokee Georgia. On the
10th, Ilffi and 12ih, DeKalb County Fair held ns
annual meeting, the attendance was large,exhibition
; respectable, politicians many. On lhe evening of
! the 10th, Messrs. Stephens and Toombs addressed
| lhe people. I attended, and lisiened to what I con
ceived to lie baser prostituiion of talent and politi
cal experience than had ever fallen lo tny lot. Mr. j
S.eohers. whaiev reisetn.-iy be said ofliis speech,was
courteous : but Toombs was profane, vulgar—filled j
with sophistry even to falsehood, and insulting,
comparing Judge Johnson to Benedict Arnold, &c.,
&c. Outlie evening of the 1 lilt, the people were
•tgain addressed by Messrs. Johnson, Cowart and
Glenn. Judge Jolt nson made a strong and argumen- |
talivc speech, clothed with the panoply ol truth. He
hurled back with digniiy and disdain the contempti
ble slanders propagated on the previous evening.—
The Democracy of Georgia may well feel proud of
their cherished standard-bearer. Mr. Cowart next
addressed the meeting. Mr. Glenn, a Union Deni- j
acr-it, closed. Mr. G. is a young man of fine prom- i
ise, and much political experience, having, I think, i
for several sessions past, been clerk to the Senate, i
He is now the candidate of the Democracy of old
Henry for the Senate.
On Friday, the Idih, Johnson arrived bv i
the cars at this place. His arrival was not anticipa
ted, hut he was soon recognised, and ill less th in
two hours a very respectable meeting was convened ]
in the Courthouse. He was listened to with mar- ,
ked attention by both parties. His effort was en
thusiastically received by the Democracy, and regar
ded as fair and manly by the opposition,’who, bv the
by, are few and far between in and about Calhoun.
Col. Howard, of Crawford, next addressed the peo
ple. His effort was, as is wont, well received, be
ing a scathing rebuke upon Messrs. Toombs, Ste
phens & Cos. Col. Howard is well known through
Middle Georgia as one of the ablest men ofliis age
in the State, and well has he sustained his reputa
tion in Cherokee ns a popular speaker. On Satur
day, the )3th, a ride of five hours from Sugar Valley
the teside.tce of mv esteemed friend Copt. Nelson,
brought us to the Floyd S"iings, where a barbe
cue had been prepared, and a large meeting assem
bled. Judge Johnson was on the stand when we
rode up. This was one of his master efforts. I re
gret I have not time to give you a synopsis of this
speech—would that every Georgian could have lis
tened to it. Judge Lumkpin was next called to the
stand. His speech was one of the very best I have
beard during the canvass. It was characterized
by much of that honest earnestness ro peculiar to
Judge L. Asa Union Democrat he was peculiar
tv happy and fWible in his warnings to the Union
Democrats against the seductions of the Legion,
alias Toombs, alias Union party.
Col. Crook, the Democratic nominee for the jud
geship of ills District, was next upon the stand.—
He was well received. Col. Howard next took the
stand. Ilis effort was a powerful n.u cment. The
day hot, the people fatigued, he gave vent to his
exhaustlcss fund of wit, anecdote and sarcasm, that
had a telling effect amongst the unterrified. On
Saturday afternoon, Judge Johnson and Mr. Jen
kins mei, not iri debate, and agreed upon the fol
lowing programme : To address the people togeth
er at Lafayette, in Walker Co-, on the 22 t, Dalton,
23d, Spring Place, 24th, Calhoun, 25:h, Cassviile,
26th, Can on 27th. At Canton they divide, John
son going into Cass, and Jcnkips into South-wes
tern Georgia.
1 have conversed freely with gentlemen from va
rious parts oftfce up-country, and find mcuh unani
mity of feeling upon the gubernatorial eler-fion, and
the Democracy may be considered harmonised. I
am assured that Johnson must cross the Chattahoo
chee with a majority of 5 000 votes.
Oil yesterday Ii isiied Mr. Peters’ plantation, near
this place, and was shown by his worthy, cour eons
and obliging manager, Mr. Hawks, his truly inter
esting and valuable possessions here consisting of a
tract of 1600 acres of land, eight hundred acres un
der fence, and much of it in a high stale of cultiva
tion, producing last season twenty-five bushels of
wheat to the acre, and other crops in proportion.
Much ofliis lands are sown down to grass, such us
h-rds grass, orchard grass, velvet gr>ss, timothy,
w hite and red clover, &:■„ stocked with the finest
hard of Devons, I presume in the U. Slates, when
taking into account numbers, their milking proper,
ties, symmetry, &c. His stock of hogs, consisting
of Buffoiks, Grasiers, Berksbires, &c.,of pure blood,
are not to besurpassed. And last, though liot least,
the Shanghais—they must be seen to be appreciated.
I could not count them, nor could old aunt Betty,
who raised them : but seriously, she called up bun
dredsfand most of the young cocks, the past spring’s
chickens, as large as turkey hens. Mr. Peters is en

his enterprise in developing the capacity of our no

necessary for their support. To save the mail I

From Brownsville, Texas.
\Yc yesterday had the pleasure of a conversation
with Mr. J. M. Conrad, editor of* the Brownsville
Flag, who arrived on the Yacht. He informs us that
business is looking up again at Brownsville and
along the frontier. Property which was at a very
low standard last year at this time, is now fast im
proving, and increasing in value. The best feeling
exis's between our people on this s de of the rive”
ami the Mexicans along the frontier. The had
feelings which sprang from the Carvnjal movement
are being fist effaced, and ihey now live together
quite harmoniously. There are a number of iin
provemen'.s going on in Brownsville,—the Jesuits
are erecting a magnificent nnnoerv and college com
bined, which will be a beautiful edifice when com
pleted—one which no city in the universe need be
ashamed of, and which will be no less useful Ilian
ornamental. There is no talk of war on the fron
tierftetween Mexico and the United States, and no
warlike preparations being made by lhe former.—
Col. Cruz, the Mil.tary Commandant of Mafamoroe,
is winning gulden opinions among oar citizens, for
ms ster.ing integrity, and the gentlemanly suavity
with which he administers the duties of'his office.
He is, undoubtedly, not only the Lravest, but one
of the most honorable cfiiceis of the Mexican
t tny.
.Mr. C. s'ates, that in consequence of the im
mense quantities of the various productions of Mex
ico, which have, heretofore, been smuggled into the
United States, from Mexico, such as cattle, horses,
mules, hides and various other articles, Mr. Stephen
1 owers, Collector of Customs, has placed a corps
railed Revenue Rangers, consisting of 12 or 20
men, mounted, along the river, from the mouth to
Laredo, for the purpose of preventing frauds upon
the Customs, and seizing t Lo smuggled property
wherever found. The wisdom of this movement
will ben; parent, when we lake into consideration
the tact, that there are thousands of mules yearly
brought from Mexico and driven to the interior for
sale, one-tenth puriol which never pay one cent
of duty ; and the import duty on a horse,or male,
is four dollars ner head.
1 he authorities on the Mexican side are carrying
into effect the decree ot Santa Anna, ordering a se
questration of all fire-arms or other war-like wea
pons, found ill possession of private individuals. In
this, they are a little fast, for since the promulgation
of that decree, it has been altered, so as to allow
the inhabitants of the frontier States to retain the
arms in tiieir possession, for liteir protection against
| the incursions ofthe Indians—so say “our last Mexi
i can exchanges.
They have just just got through with their elee-
I tion on the Rio Graude. Now, an election on the
i Rio Grande is not like an election anywhere else
| There is a similarity between the Rio Grande elec
tions and the feuds ofihe rival houses of York and
Lancaster. York and Lancaster Hung to the breeze
the banners ofthe white and red roses, and beneath
these inspiriting colors light manfully contended
for merry England’s throne. The Rio Grande po
liticians ha\o adopted the red and blue—emblems
of love and fidelity—and never were they more in
approprmtely used ; ami for two weeks preceding
-m election, there is not a house, carriage, wagon,
horse, mule, steainooat.j'ucn/, yawl, boat, bar room,
or other object, that is not hung from root to found
ation, from stem to stern, or from head to foot, with
either blue ribbon ot muslin ; and every man, wo
man, or child you meet, no matter what theircon-
I dition, sports a blue or red rosette; and the greets-
I ers make you imagine, from the colors they wear,
i hat you are in some huge circus surrounded by
cl wns, for they indiscriminately mount both the
blue and red. When t hey go to the polls they have
u*u ami blue tickets printed iu red and blue ink, and
the clerks ofthe election write the suffragan’s name
iu red or blue ink, and which ever party gets heat
have the blues lor at least two weeks afterwards,
and the noses or ihe victors are generally tinged
with red. The excitement during these “elections
is immense; bui, strange to say, though all wear
six-shooters, you never liearof any one being injured.
I hey are decidedly conservative in the use of lire*
arms.
i'he election resulted in favor of the blues—(a
correspondent of ouis styles them the “law and or
t!i r’ parly—but we doubt whether either can lay
claim to a great amount of order.) Scurry received
a large majority tor Congress over Bell and Lewis,
hut Mr. C. says that he lias no doubt Governor Bell
is elected to Congress from the Western D,strict.
Heretofore, on the Run Grande, it has been the
practice ot all panics to smuggle over a laige nuin
her of .Mexicans, of the lower classes, peons, etc.,
and voting tin m—a Mexican of that class not being
over conscientious, and not believing in the efficacy
otan oatn unless administered by t iiopadres, would
swear Ins vote in. At this election, it seems that
hula parties called upon Col. Cruz, and requested
that he would prevent these illegal proceedings. The
Colonel agreed, and consequently placed guards
along at the several passes of the river and preven
ted the cios-mg of these Ephraimites. So, for the
first time, they have had a pure ballot on the Rio
Grande.
What h a Kiss?—We are sure our lady sub
scribers wili thank ns for bringing to light the fol
lowing curious definition of a hiss. It is an extract
from a German love letter, written ns far back as in
1679, and treats an itnporiant subject so fully and
satisfactorily, that every one of taste must consider
it a gem :
‘‘What is a kiss ? A kiss is, as it were, a seal
expressing oui sincere atlaeiiment; the pledge of our
future onion ; a dumb, but at the same time audi
ble language of a living heart; a present, which a
the time it is given; istaken|fmm us ; the impression
of an ardentaltuchment on an miry coral press ; the
striking of two fl nts against one another ; a crim
son balsam for a love-sick heart ; a sweet bite ot
the lip; an affectionate pinching of the mouth : a
delicious dish which is eaten with scarlet spoons ;
a sweetmeat which does not satisfy hunger ; a
fruit which is planted and a garden at the same time;
the quickest exchange of questions and answers of
two lovers ; the fourth degree oflove.
The Chinese in California According to the
San Francisco cot respondent of the St. Louis In
telligencer, the Chinese population of California af
lord an interesting subject of ovservation. Their
appearance, drees, habits, modes of life, religion
and government arc so wholly dissimilar from ours
and ilie world has heretofore known so little of ci
ther, tha: when one has an opportunity to observe
them narrowly, he feels that he is treading upon
comparatively new ground. The first impression
made upon the mind, iu beholding a crowd of Chi
namen, is that they are an exceedingly simple-min
ded, cheerful, conicnied and harmless race. They
chatter away with a volubily truly marvelous, and
apparently are full of fun and good humor. Their
predominant vice appears to be a love of gaming.
They have almost a countless number of gambling
houses scattered through the city, and which ate
generally crowded to excess, especially at night.
Tney do not use catds, or any of our gaming devi
ces ; but simply small pieces of brass about as large
as a dime, with a hole through the centre. The
banker or dealer, takes up a double handful of
these and throws them upon the table ami it ap
pears that the bets are upon the fact whether the
pile consists of an odd or even number. Very few
of them have the remotest iuea of our system of
law-* or government, and hence they adhere in a
great measure to their own.
Pretty Good. — A country editor has perpetrated the
following :
To Jlis-j Anna Bread.
While beiles their lovely graces spread,
And fops around her Huucr,
I'll be content with Anna Bread,
And won’t have any hut her.
The Death oj Children. —l have seen persons gather
for the parlor the choicest flowers, just as they begin to open
into full bloom and’fragrauce, lestasome passer-by should
tear them from the bush and destroy them. Does not
God sometimes gather into heaven young and innocent
children for the same reason, lest some rude hand may
despoil them of their beauty ? 4
