LABOR.
Behold a gorgeous chamber nxmg trith gold.
A king lies panting through a restiess night;
Look ! by his side a crown of priceless mould ,
And, near, a spectre speaks of power and might.
But wild that eye and death-like pale the cheek ;
While worn and wearied is that fevcr'd brow ;
Had revelry has ceased?and ill and weak,
He seeks for silence and r slumber now.
Vain man! rest comes not at thy hasty call,
Though woo'd by all the arts of wealth and ease ;
Pesce dwells not always in the monarch's hail,
?or solitude those blessings can mercase,
Earth has no shelter for the guilty mind,
No lasting form whence to secrete a sin,
The slightest fault committed by mankind
Remains a stain to taunt the soul through time.
See thon those jewels witch adorn thy breast,
See thou the Injuries of thy festive board ;
Behold the grandeur of thy palace dressM
And the great cities bending to thy sword?
Why look, then, in disdain uron the arm,
h Thepeasant arm that raised them as thy lot*
Say,, if yon sun displays a brighter charm
On thy gilt dome, than?on the shwe'a low <ot
See ! in a dungeon, gleanr, cold aa&barey
A youth lies girded In a felon's chains ;
Oh ! mark that vacant gaze of dull despair
Which o'er the convict's pallid visage reigns.
Bark crime has written on that foredead shame,
That once was fair and free from mad. abuse ;
Lost ! lost ! Indolence is alone to blame,
On ! had those hands been put to better use.
Mark now the peasant who from toil returns,
Just with the eve and as the sua retreats ;
Beneath a tattared hat a proud mind bums,
Beneath a ragged vest a trae heart beats.,
Bach drop of sweat upon that honest brow.
Each ap?t of dust upon that Jardv han4
Are stamps of honor, vain one ?=ncb as Uiou,
With all thy wealth and mignt, cannot command..

Convention of the Union Republican
party be held at the City of Chicago, TIL,

A LUCKY WOMAN.
The following snake story we find in
an exchange:
In speaking of snakes, I am remind
ed of an anecdote I once heard of the
wife of an Indian railway official, who
was trimming with a large knife some
plants which formed a border to a flower
bed. She was cutting the tops oft", aud,
while so en^aired, she?was scared bv see
ing the coils of one ot the most deadly
serpents of the country among the leaves.
With a lend shriek she dropped the
knife and the plants, and a man employ
ed in the carden ran to her assistance.
On hearing the cause of her alarm, he
sought to kill the snake with his hoe ;
the creature was plainly to be seen
writhing about, but, although struck, it
make no effort to escape or turn on its
assailant. At last it lav motionless, and
the gardener ventured to pick it up,
when he found it was headless. To the
horror of the lady, the head was discov
ered among the leaves which she had
I thrown down on seeing the snake ; she
had grasped it unconsciously among the
I tops of the plants, and with her garden
knife had severed it from the body. The
bite of that species of snake was usually
fatal in six hours.
Facts.?A contemporary wisely sug
gests that our campaign should be con
! ducted on the basis o?' facts. Our po
litical orators should bear this in mind
in their efforts. They are not only stub
born things, but they are the food which
the Republican party best relishes. The
copperhead party can live and thrive on
exaggeration, abuse, slang, and black
guardism ; but with the intelligent
masses such thing's neither convince or
encourage. Republican tastes are above
such things. They look for something
tint will serve to instruct, something:
they can carry home in their minds and
think upon with pleasure and profit.
Facts at this time constitute the Io?t?c
of events. If conviction is desired, let
this logic be brought into play. It will
be found efficacious. What a fund of
argument we sha.ll have. The history
of our whole party for the last six years
has been a succession of golden tacts,
every one of which will bear repetition
by any orator.. Lead the people to
think of them and weigh them, and de
duce from them honest convictions, and
our Republican triumph is achieved.
Benevolence. ? Hers is a calm,
sweet realm?hers arc the green pastures
and the still waters?hers the ways of
pleasantness and paths of peace. The
garden which she tills is the human
heart, and the seed which she scatters
will hear their fruits in Heaven. Hers
arc the pomp of science, the splendor of
genius, the glitter of wealth, the might
of armies. With lier pale fingers she
points to the annals of the past, and they
all become but as chaif before the wind.
Yet she stops not here. Speaks she
now in tones as solemn as the midnight
bell, of the nothingness of human irreat
ncss. Listens again! and ye hear her
clarion voice proclaiming aloud that hu
man virtue never dies ! Appears she
now with the shadow of death upon one
hand, and the history of the world upon j
the other, to teach how pitiful is indi
vidual ambition, and how senseless the
love of self! Look, and ye shall behold
her descending upos her angel pinions
of "love and charity " to gather the en
tire human family beneath its ample
folds. Comes she now in the shape of a
hoart philosopher, worn and bent with
the weight of years?lo I she comes in
the shape of a ministering angel, with
smiles of sympathy, and tears of pity, to
the abode of want and t]ig home of
death.

MARCHING ON.
In the earlier stages of the war the
nation would have consented to, perpet
nate even slavery to save the Union.
But an over-ruling Providence compel
led us to fight on until the whole nation
had been educated to a higher duty,
and then slavery itself was cut down.
Then came the question of reconstruc
tion. Mild and magnanimous proposi
tions were made to the South and
promptly rejected, as though the same
Providence which permitted Pharaoh
to harden his heart that God might
work out for his people a more wonder
ful deliverance, was leading us in the
same way to that higher position in
which all men are to be invested with
equal rights,?put on terms of equality
before the law. To this end the South
treated our proposition with abuse, our
magnanimity was charged as an evidence
of vacillation and timidity. Until the
nation at first disposed to concession and
compromise found that they must hum
bly submit to such terms of restoration
as conquered rebels might please to
dictate, or make impartial justice its
rule. Suck is the end to which the
processes of the Almighty are leading
us.
Theso.called "firmness" of Johnson
has stimulated such a sentiment at the
South as makes it essentially necessary
to the settlement of the question of re
construction, that the government of
the Union should call to its aid the
suflrage of all loyal citizens without re
gard to color or race.
The power of the nation must be felt
on the side of justice and humanity?
this is the way of peace. Whenever we
yield to expediency, or temporize the
old element of treason and rebellion, it
becomes correspondingly bold and defi
ant, and violence is threatened and in
voked against the Union and its consti
tuted authorities.? Union.
- ?? ? m
The Use of Newspapers.?The
newspaper can be used to advantage in
schools. A teacher who has been using
the newspaper as a portion of his material
! for the education of children, writes
that the "results," so far as have been
reached, are of a very satisfactory kind.
The scholars manifest an interest in
preparing for the exercise that is not
likely to flag and die out. All the pass
ing events and interests of the day,
from the most trivial to tho most pro
found, in our land and in all lands, are
brought before the pupils' minds. And
since the press, the newspaper, is the
world's teacher, and is destined to re
mo in such for all coming time, it is
well, it seems to us, that children should
be habituated to look at it and to learn
how to regard and use it. Familiarity,
therefore, with the newspaper, may be
properly regarded as an important
branch of every one's practical education.
Certainly, the habit of observing what
is in the papers from day to day, besides
adding to the general intelligence, must
aid, almost insensibly, perhaps, in the
formation and strengthening of that
most important habit of retention.
A Neat Rebuke.?The Providence
Press tells the following good story,
which should convey its own moral :?
"A member of the General Assembly
from a 'rural district/ who is something
of a wag, came to one of Ihc officers of
, the House, and with a very serious-look
ing countenance and subdued voice,
stated that he was, both as a Represent
ative and a man, in a serious difficulty.
The Official gravely inquired the cause.
The troubled member replied that he
was under the necessity of being absent
for three days.
"?0. well/ replied the official, ?that's
nothing, is's a common occurrence/
"'But/ said the disconsolate one.
cthat aint exactly what's the matter.
Ye. see, I've heard that member speak
every day, and a great many times a day,
and I've kinder got used to it. It's as
natural as hash for breakfast. I shall
miss it if I go, and see here/ (taking
the official by the buttonhole,) 'do you
think he'll have wind enough to hold
out till I come back, for I do want to
hear him once more.'"
Dr. Bancroft was a Federalist of the
first water, and is said to have been ter
ribly down on the Democrats of his day,
as the following story, if true, will show :
When news came of the death of
President Washington the Doctor took
it very hard, and seemed almost incon
solable. His friends went to comfort
him, and asked what need of such grief,
if the good and great man had gone to
heaven?as no doubt he had?and was
so much better oit than to have lived
longer in this troublesome world.
"Oh I it isn't the death of Washing
ton that troubles me so/' said the Doc
tor.
"Wfiat is it, then ?" aeked one of his
friends.
"Oh ! it is the fear that he has left
the doer of Paradise so wide open that
some of these Democrats may get in."?
Boston Com. Bulletin.
The old form of criminal indictment
in Virginia ended with the words, "to
the displeasure of Almighty God, and
against the peace and dignity of this
Commonwealth. "In 1851, a woman
was indicted, tried, ahd sentenced to
two years imprisonment for teaching a
slave to read. The indictment read as
follows :
"And the said?, not having the fear
of God before her eyes, but moved and
instigated thereto by the Devil, did
teach a certain negro woman to read the
Bibi e, to the great displeasure- of
Almighty God," &e. Such are the ac
tions which are regarded as crimes un
der Democratic laws, in Democratic
States, and by all good Democrats.
e.?It is hope that controls the
whole action of man. When we embark
upon the rough sea of life it is hope that
encourages us to battle manfully against
disappointments, for we have an em?*
tional hope of one day reaching the
smooth water of life, and gliding calmly
and quietly over its placid surface, and
anchor "at last" safely in the harbor of
blissful contentment.
It is hope that urges the Christian on
his weary journey towards the pearly
gates and golden streets of the "Celestial
.City," for well he knows that when its
summit has been reached he will be re
warded for all the trials and troubles he
has experienced in his pilgrimage.
None are so young but that hope is
implanted in their bosom at the earliest
dawn of life, and as they grow older their
hopes enlarge, and they look forward to
the fulfillment of their ambitious desires.
What would become of the world if its
inhabitants were deprived of hope ? there
would settle over the horizon of their
lives a dark and impenetrable cloud of
gloom and despondency, and they would
die, as they lived, with no hope or pros
pect of a better world.? Waverly Maga
zine.
The Dansville Express states the
whole impeachment question in a few
words, thus :
"Mr. Johnson ^has assumed the res

not expect to escape the penalties in

Richard S. Brown, (negro) of Boston

scribed on the banner of the Mississippi
/State Journal, the organ of the Consti
tutional Convention ofthat State.
The contest for the Republican Gub
ernatorial nomination in Illinois is nar
rowed down to Hon. Franklin Corwin
and Hon. Anson Miller.
Michigan, at the next election, (April
6th). will vote upon the ratification of
the new Constitution, which contains an
impartial suiFrage clause:
The original draft of the Declaration
of Independence contained a strong con
demnation of Slavery, from the pen of
Thomas Jefferson. Franklin and Adams
endorsed it. The Congress, however,
struck it out. Jefferson believed in ne
gro voting ) voted with negroes, and ne
groes voted for him. Jefferson was the
father of radicalism. Franklin and
Adams were embued with its spirit.
But even Copperhead Democracy dare
not assail them. It is afraid to show
how wide is its departure from the prin
cipies of the fathers.
A Western editor remarks that he is
glad to receive marriage notices, but re
quests that they be sent soon after the
ceremony, and before the divorce is ap
plied for. He has had several notices
spoiled in this way. Another Western
editor says that the editor of its rival
sheet was skating recently and broke
through the ice. He went in up to his
ears, but the hole was not large enough
to let them through. While he was
waiting for some one to take him out his
ears froze, aud they have since been
amputated, and are used for door mats.
71)e Daily Opinion, a Republican
paper published at Atlanta, Ga., says of
the new Constitution just framed by the
Convention of that State:
"That Constitution is now submitted
to the voters of Georgia, for their ratifi
cation, and they will as certainly ratify
it as that the election will be held ; not
that that instrument is without defects,
but that its- ratification is the only means
left us of restoring Georgia, to civil
government, nnd to tlie rights and privi
leges of tite Union.
A GloPvIOus Record.?Mr. Tueker,
an English missionary in Tinnivelly, in
Southern India, in twenty-one years was
instrumental in rescuing 3,100 persons
from heathenism and Romanism. He
established sixty schools, built sixty-six
church edifices, and witnessed the vol
untary destruction of forty heathen
temples with their idols.
The New York Herald says : "Against
all drawbacks, the Republicans of" New
Hampshire held their ground.
They triumphed in the late election
over all these obstructions in rallying
under the flag of General Grant as their
candidate for the next Presidency. This
was, in fact, the initial fight for testing
the popularity of General Grant as a
Presidential candidate, and the result
shows that he cannot be beaten."
Making Up the Loss ?Official
reports state that, from I860 to 1867
inclusive, the number of emigrants to
this country was 1,549,000, and of pas
sengers not immigrants 251,256 ; show
ing an increase to our population dur
ing the last eight years of three times the
loss by the casualties of the war.
The Ohio Senate has passed the vis
ible admixture bill, which requires the
judges of elections to challenge the votes
of persons having a visible admixture of I
African blood, and unless they take an
oath that they have not such admixture
they are to be disfranchised. Griswold
moved to amend the title so that it
should read "An aet to prohibit the de
scendants of Southern Democrats from
the exercise of the elective franchise,
and to evade the provisions of the Con
stitution of Ohio/' which was ruled out
of order.
