But what impresses ne profouielly is that conrts the uompailioa:ship and c!ese communion of Hie children. We are asked to walk with God, to commuue with Hint, to lay our eares at His feet. to talk to Him, to abide in IIhn, to de- light ourselves. in Him and to look for- ward to the time when we shall dwelt in His presence. By a thousand figures this dunr or privilege le kept before us, This is the chief -thought of religion. Our engagements with the world are necessary thongh only temporal; our association with our fellowmen is ex- ceedingly hnportant, but the ideaof brothethood never reaehes its full growth until it reachea a recognition of a com- mon Fathertood. No other religion provides for sueh an intimate fallow - ship between the Creator anti the. mem tore. Every path possible is open from us to Mu, We may think of Him, w: may study His truth, we may love Him we may train every affection to lay hold upon Rini we are to remember His goodness to us, we are to believe in His providential care, and we are to have vivid hopes of what Ire is yet going to do for us. In all these ways we are to come close to Him and in all these nays. we are to give ourselves to Him. There comes back to us a co:meant:mess of peace with Him, assuranees of Ilis favor and the testimony of His indwelling Spirit. This saner spiritual life of communion with Hint is everywhere spoken of in the Scriptures as a possible exec:Aeon to the humblest of Hie chil- dren, Thinge Which Accompany Salvation. I3y salvation is meant the sovereign gift of God, let that germ of life come to our hearts, and all other activities may be regardod in the light of acconi- paniments. The feathers Of a bird are the clothing of its life, the eraecs of the Christian ere the attributt-es of tbe divinely imparted life. These garments of the soul come in the following or- der: Recognition, appreciation, appropri- ation. The weary Jacob Bee down a strang- er to the place and. to God, he dreams and awakes, "G'od is in this place and I knew it not." God discovered by man is a definition of religion; this is a key to unlock the mysteries of life.

Faleoner was not one to love or liate, revenge or repent in moderation. And since tbe scales had fallen from his moral vision, end be had aeon and understood, appreciated and admired Daniel Hunter ita he really was, hia whole heert atal been revolutionized, his whole natore had set toward Daniel Hunter with an ard- ent, remorseful], passionate desire; for hie epprobation, At any time the boy maid heve embraced him; count have preseed him to Me heart; could have thrown himself at his feet itt peuitent, passionate acknowledgment. And now his dearest purpose had been to hasten to him as t� au injured father; to make the most thorough and satisfactory re- nunciation of his former misconceptions nod errors and then to east himself upe on the certain love of that noble, that magnanimous heart. Yes, he had intend- ed to get to Daniel- Rueter, and none and abuse himeelf to his own heart's content; for 'nothing else could satisfy Ute demands of his feelings! True, much of all this had been writ- ten in letters to him, but what can a pen do in such a can. Conn' it demon. etrate the _power of a felling that it required a lifetime to live out? And he had been hurrying home so eitgerly, so joyously for this purpose. Such a son as he had hoped to be to him. Daniel Hun- ter bad no son; but Me! for affection, and devotion, and reverence, and service; /le would be a dozen sons in one: Oh, yes, if his noble -hearted father-in-law had loved him even when he was per- verse, how much more would he love him now, when he should prove himself worthy? OW very ardent had been his desires, hie aspirations; very admirable his resolution; very bright and joyous his bopee. But now! now! Ohl it is a passing bitter thing for death to step in be- tween us and opr late remorse; a bit- ter, a severe, On insupportable, a crush- ing punishment! So the young man felt it new, that the noble -hearted friend be had wronged so deeply, known only tio lately, and now loved and. honored so ardently, yet so vainly, was snatebed away from his tardy repentance! Had purgatory a -worse punishment than that? The remaining hope, the one last poor hope of seeine.him yet live, of claap- ing his livinghena, of gaining one bles- zing. This hope, this possibility inspred him; lent wings to his action. That night he left New York for the western part .of Maryland.. He hurried on, he travelled day and night. But everywhere, everywhere, he heard of Daniel Hunter's extreme ill- ness. In the otage-coaches the converse: tion of paseenyers was full of it; at the roadside inns the travelers talked of nothing ele; every paper spoke of it; it seemed to be regarded as a sudden ad great 'national calamity. He heard vari- ous reports, often inconsistent and contra: diethry; sometimes; that Mr. Hunter was in the last extremity; sometime that he was dying; once that he was dead; but this last' dreadful rumor was instantly contradicted by another, that assured the people he was better, much better, that there were hopes. Thus in almost insufferable anxiety and anguish of mind the poor fellow bur-. tied on, never stopping for needful rest; posting day and night, praying ever lest hie friend should die before he reached there; die_ before -be could sob out, on hie knee, his bitter repentence, before he could receive forgiveness and his dying blessing. 'We must leave him hurrying me aud relate what had in the meantime hap- pened at Howlet HalL * * * • * Yesl it was true. In the midst of his glorious struggle, the champion of poli- tical righteousness had been atricken down with a 'mortal illness. The news of his attack hod spread like wild -fire through the courary, carrying assort of consternation with it. nor he whom the destroyer had felled was in every res- pect a man of might—one upon whose integrity, strength and power, and, strange ass it may eppear, upon whose eolitinued existence the pdople had quiet- ly, Wholly reposed. For with him they 'never remembered to associate the idea of death. It was estrange that he hould be ill; unaccountable that he should die. Such was the deep, nowt - pressed feeling. And: "What caused hie Mims?" "What 'could have- caused it?" were the questions contently asked, The cause was this: There was An ap- proaching Presidential election; and the whole eountry was aroused to that state of political agitation, not to say frantic . Deadness, into which it i8 vegulittly thrown every fourth year. Among other things, the old subject • of contention, supposed. to be partly dead stud buried under "Runterai was revived again to, sway the election. True, a law had been passed setting it at rest forever. But if Congtese made that ' law, Congress could repeal it again And at it the politicians went with all their might. And again the nation was divid- ed against itself, section against section, State against Stat, party against patty, neighbor against neighbor, brother again brother, "the father 'against the son, and the sou meant the father," All tide was the subject of the bitters est disappointment and well nigh de- spair to the patriot staesman. It seemed • indeed a useless as well as thankless task to care and 'toil for the welfare of a country surrendered to the governs ment of mobs, which were themselves the spovt of -every caprice; the tools of every euceeseive political adventurer. Yet never had he labored so hard, straggled to desperately in the cause of political integrity as now; he wrote innumerable letters to partisans and opponents; great - political essays for the leading journals of the country; travelled from county to county, and from State to State; ad- dressed conventions and mese meetings; m short, gave nor est to soid nor body, day nor hight. And this unremitting toil wets attended by the most intetteeing Anxiety, that wore terribly upon his nervous syetem, and all eombinen brought About a state in which eause and effeet steted: and reatted upon milt other with fatal power.

Hunter sat down, amid the 811suce that followea— the silence more elegant than the laud - est aplause—the sileane fleet Ives tear- fully broken at length by a i'oice, ex- claiming, in alarm: "Mr. Hunter has fallen." The meeting arose in a mass. BIS friends gathered aro.nd him. la ;I err arms he was raised. The fatal intelligence found Mrs. Hun- ter cheerfully- occupied at her writing - table in her morning -room at the hotea and, alas! how unprepared for the blow! Daniel Hunter—who, by the pressure of political engagements, had been of late much separated. from his family— hael„upon this occasion, brought his wife and deughter to the city, and tak- en apartments at the Metropolitan Ho- tel. And upon this fatal day Mrs. Hunter, gracefully wrapped in an elegant neglige, sat bending over her writing table. Be- side her lay a pile of manuscript in sten- ography, from which she was writing out letters, which she successively laid in a neat Pile for signature. For, in the hurry of his business, the lady was acting as her husband's amanuensis, In fact, every morning, after the mail came in, Daniel Hunter received about a hundred letters, more or less which it was necessary to notice. Anebefore go- ing to the convention for the day, he set and opened them in succession, rap- idly sketching off in shorthand the re- ply to each, and .filing them for Ids wife to answer during the hours of his ab- sence. Long ago Mrs. Hunter had ac- quainted herself with the art of stenog- raphy, become, she said, it was an in- genious accomplishment, and very con- venient in taking down a paragraph that pleased her in any sermon, lecture or oration; but her mencipal motive, which she never mentioned, was to be useful in just such frequent emergencies as the present, when she could considerably lessen the burden of the overworked and toiling politiciam her husband. And very dear to her heart was this task, for it not only lightened Ids labors, but secured his society to her for 'the even- ing. And so he sat, with afectionate dili- gence, bending over her work, the long, block ringlets, rith and abundant still, though here and there a silver thread gleamed undisturbed timid their black- ness„ drooped, hainvelling the pale, in- tellectual face. Once in a while the: would lift her head and itnile, as the gazed on her beautfiul child—her Maud, who sat reading upon a,n ottonuto near her feet. Miss Router was in full dbl. ner -dress, for ehe was obliged to re. ceive all callers to whom her mother de- nied herself that day. Thus were they busy when the messen- ger of ill came—without haste,. without bustle. There was no noise nor confu- sion below—no hurrying steps Upohi the staircase --nothing to herald an aso proachiug fate—nothing to warn them of a calataity at hand, She had just finished the last letter, looked it over to see If it was a fair eopy and, lint:ling it all right, had smiliugly Ittia it upon the pile. Stailingly—alas! it Was her last smiling moment on earth—and yet the knew it not—suspeeted it nett There came a soft tap at the door, And Mrs. Minter, supposing it to be a waiter, with a, message or card, or some such ntatter, without looking up from her work of atratiging the papere, "1"adoree M." And a quiet, gentleuntelyslookieg per- son, clothed itt black, 'entered, bowing, and, somewhat deprecatingly advanced into the room.

No, no, no; forbid it every feeling of love, honor and faith. The doctors told her that the journey might be dangerous.

Though exhausted, and failing in al- most every other respect, Mr. Hunter . had recovOyed the use of speech— though his voice was faint and broken, and he conversed but little—chiefly with his dear Augusta. Since his attack it seemed that the wearing cares of poli- tics had lost their hold upon his mind— at lent by no word or sign did he man- ifest the slightest interest in the sub- ject that had lately so deeply engaged his whole heart. Bat one morning, while she sat in his room, he beckoned her to approach, and "Base the convention agreed upon their nominee, do you know, Augustan" She could not inform him. She had not looked into a paper for many days. She had not thought; she had not cared about the convention. She thought, she cared only for the stricken form before her. And now that he was to pass away, it was nothing to her who was nominat- ed; who was dropped. As I said before —noble woman though she was—she was no Spartan matron, who in the good of her country could sink all other good; she was it devoted wife, whose very poli- tioal opinions had taken ohmmeter from those of the husband she adored. Yet now she felt regret that she could aot answer him satisfactorily. She said she would go into the library and look over the weeles papers, and .find out..
