Flor?.'? Oftrimf to Spring. BT M. LOUISE KOO SSS. O, earth I all bathed with blood and tears, ye? never Hast thon ceased patting forth thy fruits and flowers. - L. K. u SMOKO. Awav 1 away ! ye wintry throng, Make room for mirth, for bloom and song I Now genial suns and gentle showers, Shall robe '.he land in green and flowers, On bill, in rale, and smiling plain, For spring has come to earth again; And Nature, from her death-like sleep, Awakes to life, to gladly keep, With all her joyous, blooming band, Her annual revel through the land. I've brought. O Earth, my winds of balm, And bushed the storm into a calm; And over skies of sombre hue. I've thrown a veil of beamy blue; I've scattered gems upon the grass, And where my fairy footsteps passed, A flower sprang upward in my path, And smiled ou me like some sweet wraith So glad that I had called it forth From outside its grave within the earth. I came by gardens, drear and wild, And tue frost-king, with a freezing smile, Withdrew, and then my magic wand Waved over all, k nd lo I the land Grew flashed with green and bursting bloom, And beauty t*x>k the place of gloom. I came by thc dreary wood, That had" the wintry storm withstood: I touched tho boughs, all bare and brown, And myriad little buds were blowu, And bung about the limbs and stems, Like pendant strings of emerald gems. "Twas I unbound toe streamlet's flow, And sweet it laughed in ripples low, Or mad, wild glee, as on it gushed, Till all tbe birds, whose notes were hnshad, Glanced swiftly through the budding trees, And sung such joyous airs and glees Such burst of song, it seemed the notes Would rend in twain their tiny throats All hearts and home with gladness ring, To greet the joyous face of spring. FLORA. Hail ! gentle spring, to thee I bring The best of Flora's offering; Flowers both sweet and fab*, liko you, Emblems of youth aud beauty, too. Andflrst, the inuit ?flora rose. That by the babbling streamlet grows; The jasmines, too, yellow and white, Their emblematic powers unite, And speak of elegance refined, With amiability combined. The hawthorn comes with mystic art. Emblem of hope that cheers the heart; Next, roses, red and virsriu white, Their hues, all beautiful, unite; Ami the fragrant pink, of modest worth, That loves tue spring that gave it birth; The crocus nert comes, blithe and gav, To greet you on this festal dav; The daisy's snow-white crest presents A symbol of sweet innocence. 8jow-drop, thou herald of the spring. Hasten upon thy balmy wing, ? Refinement graven on "thy brow, * Haste.i to greet our lair spring now. Veibeuas, now, with brilliant hue, V Tlieir homage pay, as others do; The amaranth. I proffer thee Hlesttype of immortality. L JALUKJT the 'vaiieyi haste to bring I Thy offering to our gentle spring: I Tlie olive branch, I'm sure, you'll love, I Borne by that bird of rest, the dove; * I bring sweet peace, it seems to say, .- To all who greet this spring-time day The dark green pina, I offer last. It has a melancholy cast; A long f.. re well it gently sighs, Like some sad heart that breaks and dies. *.*#*?*. Now, gentle spring, so fair and bright, , May we aa sisters here unite, 4 Aud, hand in baud, we'll ever roam, And have one country and one borne. A Cari Cat oJT* With an Axe. "Do you."see this lock of hair?" said ac old man. "Yes; bat what of it? It is, I sup? pose, the cori from the head of a dear fjh?d long sinos gone to God." e "It is not. It is a lock' of my own hair; and it is now nearly seventy :^Jgmr& since it was cat from this ISP?!." . "But why do you prize a lock of your own hair so much?" "it has a story belonging to it, and o^. strange one. I keep it thus with : $a.re bcea>?3e^it speaks to me more of -0ccl and bis "special caf? than any T?Eng else T possess. "I was u child foar years old, with cur"y locks, which, in sun or .wind, h.mg drSua my cheeks uncover? ed. One ?ny Thy father went into the wojJJS^T?at up a log, and I went MM^mh him. I was standing a little way behind bini, or rather at his side, watching with interest the strokes of the heavy axe, as it went up and came down upon the wood, sending off splinters with, every stroke, in all directions. Some of them fell at my feet, and. I eagerly ttooped to pick them np. In doing so I stumbled forward, und in a moment my curly head lay upon tho log. I had fallen just at the moment when the axe was coming down with all its force. It wasJ?bo fctte to stop the blow. Down ?.t?awf?mVfr axe; j^ecreamed, and my ^fatherfell; to tnfr-'ground in terror.

He knelt upon the ground and gave thanks to a gracious God. Having done so, he took up the axe and found a few hairs ur?o:i its edge. He turned to the iog Lo had been splitting, and there waa % single curl of the boy's hair, sharply cut through and laid upon the wood. How great the escape! It was as if an angel had turned aside the edge at tue moment when it was descending o'n my head. With renewed thanks upon his lips, he took up the cu/laud irent home with me in bis'arms.

Th? .well-informed Washington cor? respondent of the Cincinnati Com? mercial Writes : The impeachment of the President, long whispered at, ia now openly ad? vocated, and the echo is caught upon by such newspapers as the Chicago Tribune in demands for the imme? diate arraignment of Andrew John? son for a series of high crimes and misdemeanors, which they find it very easy to enumerate. In a former letter, I stated that the President had been informed, on authority that he could not question, that it was the intention of the majority in Congress to attempt his impeachment as soon as they should have secured the ne? cessary vote in the Senate to carry out this scheme. The President lis? tened to what was said on the sub? ject, and replied that he had every reason to believe it was true. It may be said that all speculations on this head are groundless, because the President hos committed no crime for which he could Le impeached. Bat give the extremists the numerical strength in the Senate, which they hope yet to have by the admission of Colorado, and the succession of Mr. Stockton, and there will be "primus" enough found against' ! . Ln u very short time. The men who seek his conviction are the men who will sit in judgment upon him, and as it will be for them to judge as well what con? stitutes a high crime or misdemeanor, as whether such high crime or mis? demeanor has been committed, their power to convict will soon resolve itself into an act of conviction. The same journals that now advo? cate the impeachment of Mr. John? son, pretended to be in terrible con? sternation a short time since lest he play the role of Cromwell or Napo? leon, and astonish our pure and sim? ple democracy some fine day with a coup d' etat. Finding that the Presi? dent will not take the initiative ."n the revolution they are so anxious to bring about, they now urge their own political friends to do so. They must not, however, be led iuto the delu? sion that because Mr. Johnson will not play the role of Cromwell, he will therefore sit quietly by und per? mit Congress to make him share the melancholy fate of Charles. He will do no such thing, unless lie diste gards the advice of his best friends. And men who think nothing more is necessary in order to secure the va? cancy of the Presidential chair tor political purposes than for the House of Representatives to order the arrest of Andrew Johnson in such articles of impeachment as it chooses to draw up, will find, when the matter comes to be tested, that they have reckoned without their host. It would be well for those who now demand the in? auguration of another civil war, and who will generally be found among that large class who kept steadily out of the late conflict, to count the cost before they go any further, and to give some more reasonable assur? ances than their own promises that they will be in a position to say "come on," when the crisis arrives, instead of "goon," as they content? ed themselves with saying during the late war. The country may as well under? stand now as be compelled to learn il when too lato, that the impeachment of the President means the inaugu? ration of a civil war, which must be fought out, not in the distant South, and along the Mississippi River, bul in every city and village of tht North, commencing in the city ot Washington. It having been stated in the New York Tribur.c that the editor cf th? National Intelligencer had, previous to the veto, written and placed ir type an article approving of the civi rights bill, that paper denied tin statement and asked for the proof. The Tribune correspondent, whe originated the report, replied thai "the statement was made upon th? admission of Mr. Snow, one of th? editors, to a member of Congres: that such was the fact." The Intelli gencer, thereupon, says: "This papei is edited by gentlemen whose name; are not printed in its columns. \V< have the authority of Mr. Snow foi denying that he ever made any sue! statement as that imputed to him.' This is tracing ?nd nailing the Iii direct. A SUGGESTION.-Apropos of Sena torial elections, we would most re spectrally suggest to our radica friends in New Jersey and Vermon the name of H. S. Foote, once o Mississippi, neit of California, thei of Tenne see, and now of any Stat that needs his services. Ile itin ad roi and unscrupulous politician, an capable ot representing any opinion! or shades of opinions, that may b Che fashion.-Richmond Dispatch. A Cincinnati paper thus reports recent lecture by Anna Dickinson "She spoke to the people, arni wit ?neb ."igor did she assert lier righi as an inspired instructress of tl igoraut public, that whenever a pot fellow lu the audience sneezed, si called upon him, in a voice like tl blast o? a bugle, to talk like a mai or forever hold his peaes-and 1 held his piece." SOUTHERN POST OFFICES.-On i fourth of the persons just appointe to take, charge of the twenty-foi {>ost offices re-opened in North Car ina and Virginia are women. Tv cf the women previously appoint? ' could not take the o.i^. The radical carnival at Washington ! during the past week, was marked by acts of lawless and utterly unscrupu I lous wickedness, which brand the dominant party as open, avowed and shameless revolutionists. They out? raged individual rights with the fierce audacity with which the sans culottes of Paris onco hurried their victims to the scaffold without the formality of arraignment or trial. They tram? pled upon the Constitution with the glee with which the Japanese are said to defile the Holy Scriptures. In the face of the most positive, conclusive and undeniable evidences of bribery, f rand and corruption upon the part of thc contestant, they ex? pelled from the House of Representa? tives Mr. Brooks, a leading conserva? tive member from New York. Stock? ton, Baldwin, Voorhees and Brooks have thus been driven from the seats to which they were elected by their constituents as unceremoniously as Cromwell thrust an English Parlia? ment ont of doors-at the point of the bayonet. But when eleven States, whose citizens obey the laws of the United States, and who bear all the burdens imposed upon them, are de? nied their constitutional rights, cases of individual outrage cease almost to attract attention. But the victory of the radicals in passing the civil rights bill by a two thirds veto in the Senate over the President's veto, was the crowning triumph of the enemies of the repub? lic. The guilty joy of long baffled burglars in a bard-fought triumph over a strong box of treasure would be tame when compared with thc frantic delight of thc revolutionists iu their recent evidence of strength. To them a victory won by faction over a patriotic President is as sweet as the odor of a good act to an honest man. As we predicted ten days ago, the expulsion of Stockton, the death ol Foot, the sickness of Dixon, and the defection of three Republican Sena? tors who have been classed with tin conservatives, gave the radicals an easy victory ju the Senate. As al] parties agree that there are already iu durance vile in Thaddeus Stevens' greasy pocket more than two-thirds of the House of Representatives, thc triumph of the civil rights bill may now be regarded as positively certain. The crack of the whip in a day 01 two will be heard in that body, and the well-drilled flock of goats will clear the veto with a bound. The scenes which marked the triumph in the Senate of this mon? strous bill carry us back to those hideous days in the history of the French Revolution of 1798, when ii yelling, shouting, bloody and homi? cidal mob crowded the galleries aud dictated to the French Assembly. The galleries of the Senate, crowd ed with frantic radicals and exultan 1 and reeking blacks, must have bornes striking resemblance to a happy re union of the gentle inhabitants ol Bedlam and Pandemonium. How Morgan, Stewart and that other de serter from the ranks of the conserva tives must have enjoyed the swed incense offered to their apostacy it the groans, applause and shouts o the dusky representatives of th< freedmen's villages adjoining Wash ington! What delicious homage tc the flexibility of these men of weil back-bones! In what contrast to this exhibition of revolutionary violence is the eulin bold attitude of Andrew Johnson The keen intelligence of the patrio statesman of the White House pene trates the mists of error, rage ant selfish demagoguism which havt blinded the disunionists, and rest securely upon the verdict of a grea people. He can afford to wait; for h< knows that the pathway over whicl every great nation has toiled to great ness is whitened with the uuburiec and unhonored bones of just sud parties as that which now yells it! senseless and frantic joy overa victon which insures their final annihilation There are numerous cases o chronic individual insauity, but whil< a great nation may be goaded t< temporary madness by wicked de magogues, reason always resumes he throne. This madness of the hour has al the fierce violence of the tornado o the tropics. It sweeps everythinj before, and works swift and terribl ruin, and lie. who gazes upon its traci and marks its ravages is oppresse, with gloom and sorrow. But it din1 not alter the great conservative law of nature. A few years roll by, an plenty, order and the abundant gill of Providence efface all traces of tit tempest. The wild, resistless radical tornade cannot be stayed by the veto of th President. It must now sweep on t its end, ?md of the tragical end of party so utterly lawless no sane mu can entertain a doubt. [ Richmond Timi *.
