The farmer, as a class, is the representative average voter. He in coiiserv.it ive in hia political opinions, clinging lo his party w ith great tenacity, oven if Ids political loyalty bo used by the b n-sos of his party to rob him, as ft often is. No political reform can be ac complished until the fanners have adopted it. When the farmers have well burned the lesson th.it the repub lican party is dominated by their natu ral enemies, the plutocrats and monop olists, they will kill it, and unless the democratic party is a zealous exponent of ballot reform, lurid' reform, civil ser vice reform, and whatever other reform is needed to j;ivo tho musses nn equal chunci!

In un article published in Delfurd'i Maiinzine for January from the pen of Jelferson Davis on "Audersonville and Other Wur Prisons," he refutes the be lief so ciiiiiiuoij in the .North thnt tho confederates, were painstaking in re lentless cruelty to federal prisoners, but that, on tho coiitrurv, neither the Buffer ings nor tlie nmrlulity Htnong the fed eral captured soldiers in confederate piisous, were so great as the sufferings uud mortality Htnong tho confodeiute prisoners in federal prisons. The article suvs: It must bu conceded that tho North ern stales uru inoio generally healthy than tliu Southern. Then, with equal melius mitl cure iu providing for tho prisoners, it follows l lint the rate of mortality should huvu been us the sal ubrity ol the coiiutiy. It may be pre sumed tout ull weru 'on duty' when cap tured, and the average of the wounded uiuong the prismieis about tliu same; therefore that all weiu iu u cmidiliou to he benelitcd by rest and proper treat ment iu u favorable locality. What was tho result? According to tlio reports id thd I'nited States wur department the relative numbers of prisoners uud deaths weru in round numbers: United States prisoners belli by the confederacy 270,000 Confederate prisoners held by the United Stales 220,000 United States prisoners died in confederate hands 22,000 Confcrute states piisotiers died in United States bunds 20,000 "From this it appears that the con federates, with mi excess of 60,000 pris oners, hud 4000 fewer deoths. This should not huvu been the case if tho means of providing for Ihetu had been equal ; but ill every material rwspect lit food, in clothing, in shelter, tu medi cine, in surgical instruments, uud nil which free commerce contributes the North had greutly tho advantage. Only one element remains to account lor the dillereuce care for the ilefeuseluss ; and this, in (lie dc tits of our destitution, never ceased, us the world will appre ciate whenever impartial history skull render the justice which contemporary prejudice and passion have denied." Mr. Davis briefly reviews tho differ ent and earnest elforts be made to ex change prisoners, anil even to permit the medicines needed to treat federal prisoners to he introduced, solely for their use and in charge of federal audits who should distribute them; and ht tells how every otrer was rejected even the petition of a committee of Anderson, ville prisoners who were paroled to go to Washington to present their com plaints, at the reutiest of tbe prisoners themselves.

She Sleeps the Sleep of the Just, and her Spirit It with Cod. The following discourse was delivered by lie v.J. .U. DjiiuLIsoii at tho hpisco pal church on Saturday morning last, tho occasion being tho lunural of .Miss Ueiie 1'oUer: I desire tu say a few words us a tribute of respect to this solemn occasion, and to those who aro tlie most deeply Interested in it. Wo are met together in the boiisu of Ood, for tho purpose of expressing our sympathy with a sadly bereaved lumlly, and taking part in (lie last religious ritet over the earthly remains of an esteemed member of our church, whom It has pleased (iod, iu his all-wise but hi scrutuhle providence, to tuke out of this sinful, stillering world to Wis eternal rest. The solemnity of tho occasion Is such as all must feel, and it is right wu should feel it, and also gather from it a lesson us to the uncertainty to ull, of this mor tal Hie, and tho wisdom of eiulcavorinii so to live daily, us we shall certainly w ish we had uono when our lust (lay comes. "When the solemn death bell tolls "For our departing souls." It is as nutural lo die as to bo born, and tlie one event necessarily involves the other. Hut how different tlie feelings which accompany these events ; tliu one culling forth our highest joy, the other our deepest sorrow ! Ami yet death is but tho birth of the soul, and llm continuance of the life be gun hero, in such condition ami rdmim stances us this Ijfo has ipiulified it for. The birth of the child, winch calls forth our tendcrest love and joy, is something wo can see ami know and un- lorstund ; tint the second birth winch wo call death is verv dilfurcut, mid here wo must walk by fnith and not bv sighi. To those wuo nre destitute of faith in the future world, a revealed in holy scripture, by lino who "brought life ami immortality to light," death must indeed ever be tlie king of terrors, and the grave tho end of all hope. For such, alas I thero is no comfort either in this life or in tlie next, and the gloom of fruitless despair is nil thut remains. liut for those who can ut such a time lean upon the blessed teaching of Him who spake a never man spake, who an believe that Uod is love and wis- loni, that lie can do nothing unkind or wrong; who can trust his all-wise provi dence, ami believe thut all is ordered lor the es(. to such death has Instils sting and tho grave its cloom. The heart will still mourn, the bo- reitvod will still weep over their loved and lost ones, for that is natural, but they will sorrow, not ns those who have no hope, but as thus who know and be lieve the meaning of the trite but beau tiful saying, "Not lost, but gone be fore." Who would not wish at such a 1 1 mo as this, whstcrur, in different cir cumstances, ho may have thought or said to the contrary who would not, at such a time as this, desire above all things a fir ib hold of the Chrithn faith, in regard both t tho departed and the bereaved? Surely, without such faith as this, life were iinwottliyof man's in herent greatness and more than earthly intelligence, and would be even at the host hardly worth living and a doubtful boon. But God. our heavenly Father, lias completed His design in regard to tlie crown and glory nf His creation, by revealing lo us a future wotth striving for, worth Imping for, wjrth dying for. In that future life and immortality, made known to us and Required for us by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, both (iod and man, all our highest aspira tions lind place nndsatishiction, ami the nloryofJ.be future life sheds to tho be liever iflinlo upon this. Ami in regard lo those dear to us whom God has called lo himself, how pleasant it is to think of those points of character, uud indications of goodness, and virtue, ami piety, which rendered the person lovable here ami fitted for a place in tlie kingdom of heaven I In tlie light of religion, still more than in tiie light of natural affection, such qualities are cherished and remembered. Such it is and such it will he, in the ease of our departed sister. To bu aide to say ol such, that she was a good daughter, s loving sister, a true friend, a devout Christian, is the highest praise that can be bestowed upon any human be,iug. You, my friends, who best knew the deceased, will, I believe, he the llrst to bestow such a high tribute of praise upon her memory. And withsuv.li kindlv, loving thoughts, we resign her soul to Ood, whilst we do all we can to honor tlie visible but perishable part, which still remnius with us. Ami surely there is a voice which speaks to us all at this solemn moment, ami what the Voice says is this: "All flesh is us grass ami ull the goodliiiess thereof us tho flower of the Held ; the grass witlierutM, i lie nower iinietii, nut tint word ol Hie Lord eiiilureth lor ever. Should not this thought of life's feeble.- liens and death's iinuertuititv inspire in! every Heart the prayer ol tlie I salmist. "So teach us to nuujoer our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom?" And thus living, and looking for our own coming chanve, e shall possess our souls iu Pt'uco, ami be aide with the quiet contldeuce of the Psaltuist to say : "though 1 pass through tlie valley of the shadow of death I will feur no evil, for Thou art w ith me." Yea, per chance, we may be able to strike u higher note, eveu a nolo of triumph, uud say in the uoble language of the apostle, whose words you bave just heard lead. and wbo for himself counted death mil gain: "Ob death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory ? Thiinks bo unto Ood who givuth the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ." BUCKLE.VS AUXICA S.VLVK.
