When prosperous hours, breathing sweet flatte ries, Fill thy full sails with strong and onward breeze, Bethink thee, thunder sleeps in summer skies, And sudden shipwreck larks 'neath shining seas. Thy life flows on in current smooth and deep, But soon may come some wild convulsive start; And o'er thy torrent-driven soul may sweep, The fierce Niagara-passions of the heart. Bath fame soon crowned thy chisel, pencil, pen ? Dread, lest to vanity, to sloth resigned, Thou never soar beyond the vulgar ken To heights where sit the chief of Art and mind.

Fear lest thy triumphs take presumptous flight, The baffled waves rush back in throng on throng; And ships, storm-kings have sunk on festal night, Do thy life-boughs rich fruits of virtue bear, Till thoughts of merit on thy heart intrude ?

THE TWO QUAKERS AND THE WAR. BY BOMB MAY. " There now, thee shan't be abused," said good James Eaton, as he rode slowly along the dusty road, stooping every now and then to pick a clinging fly off his sleek horse. " There now ' thee must keep thy temper, good beast, and I'll soon' put these little fellows out of mischief." And tenderly he dropped the buzzing tor ments into his drab coat-pocket. " Poor lit tle creeters," chuckled he, "it's no use strug glin' agin the law I Them that disturbs the peace must go to jail ! Well for 'em if they don't fare worse and lose their heads !" So saying the drab figure jogged peaceful ly along the highway towards friend Dean's yellow farm-house, a man "Whose big swelling heart Strained the straight-breasted drab of his Quaker vest apart." "Here comes friend Eaton I" cried several childish voices joyfully, as he rode leisurely up to the porch dtior. " Why, how does thee do, Patience, and Solomon and Benjamin ?" said the dear man heartily, while the little ones flew around their old friend, alighting upon him like a flock of birds. "Is thy mother 'well and about the house? Really, children, thee must let me have a chance to hitch my horse ! And now I will release my prisoners," added the old gentle man opening wide his pockets and letting oat scores of dizzy, crazy, flies. "There now, my poor little fellows, thee can get an honest living here, if thee's industrious." Little Benjamin and Patience laughed aloud at this, and seizing their tender-hearted old friend by the arms, led him into the back kitchen, where their mother was pulling worsted. " Why James, how dost thou do !" said the good woman, rising. "I am right glad to see thee !" And they shook hands hearti ly after the Quaker fashion, as if shaking hands were an honest pleasure, instead of be ing, as some polite people seem to regard it, a painful duty. " Thee is as busy as ever," said friend Ba ton, pointing to the immense ball of worsted which lay on the floor beside his hostess. " Busy ?" echoed Mary Dean, as she pul led off long flakes from the soft ball, rolled them over her finger, and tossed them into the basket ready for spinning. " Thee would think there was no time for idling, if the country called thy son to the war And she looked up at him, her fresh, ma tronly face glowing with suppressed feeling, her plain cap shaking a little at the borders. " Mary I" exclaimed the good old man, opening his mild blue eyes as far as the lids would allow, " Thee don't mean to tell me that thee is going to send one of thy children to battle ? To battle !" " I do mean it, James," answered she steadily, plucking with all her might at the worsteds. The poor old gentleman fairly turned pale. "Patience," said he, " wont thee fetch me a drink of water ?" With a skip and a bound the little damsel brought some water in a long-handled tin dipper. Thank thee, Patience, said the Quaker, the ruddy color stealing back to his face. "Now Mary, I hope thee wont be offended if I ask thee a searching question ?" But before the question had formed itself into words, Mary Dean had arisen to perform -one of her household duties. Seizing a towel she went quickly to the kitchen table, where on was spread a primitive fly trap, it being nothibg else than a pool of delusive.moluss. " Here's a goodly lot of the little tor ments," said she, making an onslaught upon them with her towel. Friend Eaton's soul was stirred within him. " Mary, Mary," said he in a grieved tone. " Consider what thee is doing I Thee can't make a fly 1" " I know it," said Mary, as she proceeded coolly with her savage work, "and I'm sure I shouldn't want to !" " Thee really hurts my feelings, Mary." Well, thee knows, James, I haven't thy patience. I desire to possess a meek and quiet spirit, but I tell thee I've no notion of being turned out of my own house by an ar my of flies." 4 ‘ Mary, Mary, it's no wonder thee has a heart to kill flies, when thee is lending a help ing hand to kill thy fellow-Greeters ! I want ed to ask thee a question. If thee means to send thy son along with the world's people to fight for"— Our Country 1" Mary threw the two words in with strong emphasis. " Thee is taking a strange step for a Friend ! Has thee made this a subject of meditation? Does thee feel that thee has been been instructed by the Inward Teacher ?" "James," said Mary Dean, calmly, "thou knowest little of the inward strife I have suf fered 1 But I verily believe I have been led by the Spirit, and my mind is now centered down into quietness. The war is just, and Moses shall stand up for his country." Good James Eaton looked puzzled. I re spect thy feelings," said he after a pause, " but Mary thee knows the Scriptures go agin fighting I" "No I don't know any such thing, James," said Mary Dean, unpinning her checked ker chief in her warmth, " for didn't the Lord persecute Pharaoh till he let His people go ? And when the Israelites had crossed the Red Sea, didn't they sing, The Lord is a man of war, the Lord is his name ?' I do know that the South has her heart fully set within her to do evil, and I believe it is the will of the Lord that she shall be beaten with many stripes." " Mary, friend Mary,: can it be that thee is harboring bitterness in thy heart against the people of thy own country ? against the nation which the God of our fathers bath blessed ?" "My brethren have fallen," exclaimed Mary. " Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." " But Mary, Christ forbids thee to hold bitterness. If thy enemy smite thee' " " Thou can'st hardly tell me any new thing out of the Holy Book," said Mary Dean quickly, " but remember, James, we are to beware of taking the Scriptures too literally; it the spirit that giveth life !" " Mary, what does thee make of these words ? i Pray for them which despitefully use you?'" "James," replied Mary Dean with a trembling voice, "if thou dost think I have not the spirit of prayer thou misjudgest me. While I am sewing and spinning for Moses, it is borne in upon me to pray for our mis guided Southern brethren as I never prayed before." " I thank the Lord for thee," said the Quaker wiping his, eyes, but Mary thee hasn't, any children to spare ; or has thee lost all a mother's feelings ?" Mary Dean arose nervously. "Friend James," said she, " I have got a country; hast thou got one 7 I remember noble George,. Washington ; dost thou remember him ? Art "thou willing to wipe out all that he has done for us ? Wilt thou put the necks of thy children under a yoke, and die, to have them curse thee ?" Patience and Benjamin looked at each other in dismay, wondering why the spirit should move their mother to preach in such a way to good friend Eaton. " Or wilt thou help to loose the bands of wickedness 2" con tinued the good woman, "to undo the heavy burdens and let the oppressed go free ? to break every yoke ?" I don't know what to say to thee," said friend Eaton, rubbing his hands together in a perplexed way. " My heart is heavy with in me when I think of the poor bondnien down South, but ' vengeance is mine, I will repay,' saith the Lord." " Thee is right, but he that justifieth the wicked is an abomination to the Lord," think of that James ! an abomination to the Lord ! Does n't thee justify the wicked when thee folds thy hands and holds thy tongue ?" "Oh Mary, Mary, thee is rather hard on me !" " I verily believe I am moved to speak, friend James ! Thee must n't think hard of me for saying those things that bear in upon my mind ! I speak in love." " Speak on, Mary, I am in a state of pre paration to hear thee." " Well James, don't thee remember this passage in Revelations, He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity; he that kil leth with the sword must be killed with the sword.' How plain that is, James, so that a little child might understand it ! And then it says : Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.' Oh James, we think we have patience and faith, we trust the Lord will let the poor black men out of the land of Egypt; but ain't we willing to help ? Does thee think, James, our blood is richer and redder than the blood of the world's people ? If it is, I tell thee we ought to shed it all the quicker ! Let us make a Red Sea of it, and the Lord will make the sea dry land that the children of Israel may pass over to the promised land of Canaan !" " Why Mary," said James Eaton, rubbing his hands and looking at them. "Thee keeps pushing me up into a corner ! Verily and truly I don't know what to say to. thee.!" "Thee nee IA say anything," replied Mary Dean calmly, " the Lord has n't enlightened thee yet ; but I will pray for thee that thy eyes may be opened." " Amen " said the Quaker solemnly—Con aregationatist. HOW CHILDREN GOVERN VIE ;WORLD. IN every age, as civilization increases, so do children increasingly govern the world.. The child is the governor of its parents with greater certainty in each generation, and this not from any degeneracy of the age, but more manifestly as the world grows older, wiser, richer and better. In the rudest ages, the strong man governs all around him, simply by his sword and his spear. In such an age, Saul, the tallest man, is made king, and Goliath, the mightiest giant, defies all and roams at large, the only man?dm can be independent. By degrees, brute force gives way to delicacy of aim and precision of purpose. Then, men increasingly take their wives into their counsels and plans, and the delicacy and tact of woman give success to a thousand new plans. But, in an age of still further repose and. consideration, both men and women are in creasingly influenced by considerations drawn from their children. This changes the ob jects of life, but gives them higher aims and more lasting success. The family becomes a perfect unit, and all live for the good of each other. This seems to be the final state of society. Then those who have lived long est devote their energies most to provide for the wants of those who have longest to live, because in them are bound up the most dura ble of the hopes and interests of the family. The young. man goes where he will, with valise in hand, in quest of fame, fortune, pleasure or whim, .spending a fortune or making one, self-sufficient and self governed. Yet, of necessity, he is restless and incom plete in character and happiness till united with another, for whom now he modifies all his views, and the protection and provision for whom becomes his great duty, occupation and happiness. But soon, as children multiply, both find new plans, stretching on into the infinite fu ture and drawing them out of themselves to find the great end and aim of their lives in 4 A. 4inttican grtoutittlan and 1 4 , tittott 6ttaitiltijot the good of their children. Raugh, in his psychology, thinks that in man this love for his children flows at first from his love to the mother. This is no doubt true in part, hut there is also the love of protecting help lessness, which appeals to all that is noble in humanity, and the love of his own children must be a part of the nature of every true man. Certain it is, however it may arise, that most powerfully and increasingly, and with common consent, the whole future lives of both parents are governed by the law of the tie subsisting between them and their chil dren. At first, the bodily health of their offspring controls the location of the parents. Tne house is chosen or even built as to size and convenience, most of all,, in reference to them. For it is soon found that it is the -family sitting room, and the nursery that makes a comfortable or cheerless dwelling more than the most elegantly furnished par lors. A location is healthy or unhealthy, mainly as it affects the children, and it is no uncommon thing for a man to resign some highly lucrative engagement in a Southern clime, or travel half the year, simply because the health of his young family requires it. He cannot see them pine for the lack of any thing in his power to bestow. As years ad vance, the education of the children governs each great movement of the parents increas ingly. Good schools in a neighborhood will draw thus the best families to move into it, and so raise the value of land and lots as soon to repay the cost of the endowment of tho costliest colleges. The more civilized men become, they more they desire to bring up their sons and daughters in a good intel lectual and moral atmosphere. Nor is this enough. They want the most perfect social advantages for their children as they grow up to form their own tastes and connections in life. Many who have no de sire for company for themselves beyond the family circle, now covet the best society for their children as the only reasonable means of keeping them from the lowest, and as the best method of elevating instead .of degrad ing them. So far it is not only inevitable, but most desirable that parents should be governed by the interests of their children, It provides hopes even for old age, and fresh pleasures and successes for him who has raised noble and honorable children, extending even to the edge of the grave. All the progress of society depends upon it, and the future of each nation. The more complicated become the relations of society, the more do these duties of living for the children, and being governed by their interests, press upon us, the greater the reward for observing this law, and the greater the ultimate punish memt of those who neglect it. Many per sons, however, fancy themselves governed by the interests of their children, who are in fact only governed by their momentary plea sures and whims. As the one is the greatest blessing, so the other is the greatest curse to both parents and children. This last rever ses the order of wisdom and of nature, into systematic folly, and causes parents simply to be guided by the puerilities of childhood, instead of the children being led by the wis dom of experience. It is the offspring of weakness and selfishness, a love of ease so great as to prevent resistance to the most imbecile importunities. Yet how many mis take all this for the other.—Public Ledger. iMlllautons. WEST VIRGINIA. THE full vote cast at the recent election in this State is now returned. In ten of the forty-eight counties, no election was held, because, doubtless, of the presence or the fear of rebel force there. In the remaining thirty-eight, the vote on the Amended Con stitution stood : For it. - - - - 20,622 I Against it, - Do. soldiers: votes, 6,007 Against it, Do. taken outside of 3,689 Againstit, - - - I T0ta1,28 7 321 ( Total, - - 572 319 soldiers' and 43 citizens' votes were rejected for informality. the State, The Willie amendment, adopted and made a part of the Constitution by this vote, rati fying the Constitution, is as follows : Children of slaves born 'within the limits of this State after the July 4th, 1863, shall be free ; and all slaves within the said State,who shall, at the time aforesaid, be under ten years, shall be free when they arrive at the age of twenty-one years ; and all slaves over ten and under the age- of twenty-one years shall be free when they arrive at the age of twenty-five years, and no slave shall be per mitted to come into the State for permanent residence therein. ANOTHER FRENCH VIEW. THE Rome Ch,retienne, the leading organ of the French Protestants, recently received permission from the government to discuss political, as well as religious subjects. This privilege, says Rev. Dr. McClintock, in the Methodist, has been used with great judg ment. A noticeable article by M. De Pressense has recently appeared in its columns, defin ing the true province of a religious journal in relation to political topics. "As to the theory of some good people that one's piety is endangered by taking an interest in such questions, M. De Pressense replies, in the words of Remusat, that indifference to in justice is the beginning of impiety.' So, too, the narrow notion that in the eternal things,' to which Christians are bound to devote themselves, the vast interests of the human race in this life are not included, he replies : ' In this way the cause of humanity is to be crushed under the weight of the eternal ages ! As if truth, justice, liberty, were not eternal I' The whole article would fully deserve translation for your pages if I had time to do it, but I must content myself with the following passage from it on our home affairs : 'As to the American crisis, our faith in the triumph of justice has not been shaken by the rude trials to which the cause has been subjected. If immediate success alone could reassure ns, where would be the use of faith ? We shall watch closely everything relating to that most Christian cause—the abolition of slavery; and we shall be severe on those dangerous sophisms which would mislead Europe and keep the balance even between those _who have revolted only to maintain and extend slavery, and those who, in the midst of many difficulties, and in spite of some inconsistencies, are making every sacrifice to raise with their own bodies a barrier against this abominable institution. When, at the close of the struggle, we.shall reckon up the sacrifices made to this grand idea, we shall blush before the heroism of these pretended worshippers of the.almighty dollar, who will then have shown how a free and hristian nation know how to wash out, with her own bled, the stains of sin. And what we shall most admire is that this hero ism knew how to withstand adversity. F or us, men of little faith, we doubt the future whenever we hear of a repulse ; whilst confi dence reigns even at thd headquarters of the retreating Northern army, and in the firm heart of President Lincoln, in the midst of terrible internal and foreign difficulties. If the world ever saw a grand sight, this is one. ' A NEW SOUTH. ONE ce the most encouraging signs of the times is to be found by an examination: of those large districts of the territory origin ally claimed by the " Confederacy," which are already in the possession of our armies. In all these regions the unwonted enjoyment by all of that freedom of thought, speech and action, which the slave power so sternly and systematically repressed, is already produ cing good fruit of the most valuable kind. No doubt the number of malignant rebels is still very large, in spite of the very excellent policy of sending such persons south of the lines; but to offset this, we are building up a large party which is . not, only loyal, true to the Government, but also strongly anti slavery in its views Wand proposed action. Think of abolitionist clubs of native Tennes seeans in Nashville ! The world does move. These men are really the only hope we have for future peace and permanency. It is upon them and their principles, as a foundation, that the future stability and safety of the South must be built. Wherever the sin is found the curse will ceme, and we shall reap but part of the dearly-bought harvest of all this toil and bloodshed, if the "New South" shall still retain any portion of the fatal cause of our national troubles. We must purge from among us all traces of Old World barbarisms, before we can hope to make per fect the new and free _civilization which is at present only possible on this continent.— Examiner. OUR LOSS, =THEIR QIN. THE state of morals in the Confederate capital is suggestive. The Richmond papers seem at a loss for language to express its badness ; and if they made no attempt to characterize it, their descriptions would leave no doubt that it is bad enough. As much as a year ago, one paper exclaimed: "What Washington was, that Richmond is becoming in everything that is vicious and bad." Un der favor, we submit, that the rebel editor came very near a solution of the difficulty. The main elements of corruption have _left Washington and gone southward. The buz zards have followed the carcase. Not very long before this utterance, we were informed by the same authorities (in order to prevent any mistake about it) that all the "life" of the national capital had been due to the ele ment of Southern society, and that we must expect a collapse, almost, even of civilized usages at the North. Some band-box-heart ed individuals among ourselves echoed the sentiment, and we had made up our minds to endure this lamentable consequence. But we unexpectedly survived. Whether it was due to the fact that Mrs. Lincoln is a Ken tucky lady, or whether there were some latent resources of natural amenity in the Yankee constitution, it may not pay to in quire. We have "got along," as they say down East, and have even had occasion to congratulate ourselves thatno Senator's skull has been cracked by rowdies, or murder pro voked or coinmitted in the sight of the Capi tol, now for two whole Congressional sessions. But if this was our loss, it seems in has been Confederate gain. Their poultry have gone home to roost, and to do many less harmless things. The reckless immorality which marked the closing years of Mr. Buchanan's Administration has been transferred bodily to Richmond. Of course this has been effect ed only in one way. Unionists—even of their own citizens—have been excluded from that paradisical spot, on penalty of death. No Yankee has enjoyed a closer view of its virtuous joys than the windows of the Libby prison. It has been surrendered to the very embraces, so to speaii of the old Romans themselves. Only the immaculate have been permitted even to perambulate its streets. Wherefore, then, is this lainentation? Whence come these gamblers and these speculators in the necessaries of life ? Whose women were those bread-rioters ? There is a "screw loose" somewhere.—Examiner. BENZINE FOR PLANT& The London Gardener's Chronicle gives the following advice respecting the destruction of insects on plants : "As our houses and gardens are always more or less infested with vermin, it is satisfactory to know that ben zine, an article become sufficiently well known as a detergent, is no less efficacious as an agent in insecticide. One or two drops are sufficient to asphyxiate the most redoubt able insect pest, be it beetle, cockchafer, spider, slug, caterpillar, or other creeping thing.. Even rats and mice will speedily de camp from any place sprinkled with a few drops of the potent benzine. A singular fact connected with this application of benzine is, that the bodies of insects killed by it be come so rigid that their wings, legs, etc., will break rather than bend if touched. The next day, however, when 'benzine has evapo rated suppleness is restored. IRON AS TONIC, IN HORTICULTURE. ACCORDING to a Belgian horticultural paper, a Mr. Dubreiul, acting upon the ex perience that the leaves of a plant 'may be stimulated into a luxuriant growth by being moistened with a soldtion of copperas, ap plied a weak solution of this salt (half a drachm to a quart) to various kinds of fruit at a time of day when the same could not be reached by the rays of the sun, and at three different periods before their maturity. The first so treated are said to have grown to an extraordinary size. TIIAT the Gospel narratives admit of spiritual application, is no accidental feature, nor is the application itself to be viewed as arbritary and capricious. , Much rather does it spring from the weight and significance of the Saviour's Character, as the centre of all spiritual life, that everything in him and with, him rises into a higher spiritual signifi cancy.— Olhausen.

From Emery Edes, a well-known merchant of Oxford, Maine. " I have sold large quantities of your Saas&rnant,A, but never yet one bottle which failed of the desired effect and full satisfaction to those who took it. As fast as ourpeople try it, they agree there has been no medicine like it before in our community." Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, 'UI - viers, Scores, and all Diseases of the Skin, From Rev. Robt. Stratton, Bristol, England. "I only do my duty to you and the public, when I add my testimony to that you publish , of the medicinal virtues of your SARSAPARILLA. My daughter, aged ten, had an afflicting humor in her ears, eyes, and hair for years, which we were unable to cure until tried your SARSAPARILLA. She has been well for some months." From Mrs. Jane E. Rice, a well-known and much-es teemed lady of Dennisville, Cape May Co., N.J. " My daughter has suffered for a year past with a scrofulous eruption, which was very troublesome. Nothing afforded any relief until we tried your &ask- PARILLL, which soon completely cured her." From Charles P. Gage, Esq., of the widely-known Gage, Murray & Co., manufacturers of enamelled .pa pers in Nashua, N. H. "I had for several years a very troublesome humor in my face, which grevrconstantly worse until it dis figured my features and became an intolerable afflic tion. I tried almost ,every thing a man could of both advice and medicine, but without any relief whatever, until 'I took your SARSAPARILLA. It immediately made my face worse, as you told me it might for a time : but in a few weeks the new skin began to form under the blotches, and continued until my face is as smooth as any body's, and I am without any symptoms of the disease that I know of. I enjoy perfect health, and without a doubt owe it to your SARSAPARILLA." Erysipelas—General Debility—Pnrify the From Dr. Robt. Sawin, Houston St., New York. Da. ATER. I ;seldom - fail to remove Eruptions and Scrofulous Sores by the persevering use of your SARSAPARILLA, and I have just now cured an attack of Malignant Erysipelas with it. No alterative we possess equals the BARSATAAILLA, you have supplied to the profession as well as to the people." From J.. E. Johnston, Esq., Wakeman. Ohio. "For twelve years, I bad the yellow Erysipelas on my right arm, during which time I tried all the cele brated physicians I could reach, and took hundreds of dollars worth of medicines. The ulcers were so bad that the cords became visible, and the doctors decided. that my arm mustbe amputated. I began taking your SARSAPARILLA. Took.two bottles, and some of your Pmts. Together they have cured me. lam now as well and sound as any body. Being in apublic place, my case is known to every body in this community, and excites the wonder of all." From Ho n. Henry Monro, MP. of Newcastle, C. W., a leading member of the Canadian Parliament. " I have used your SARSAPARILLA in my family, for general debility, and for purifying the blood, with very beneficial results, and feel confidence in commending it to the afflicted." St. Anthony's Fire t Rose, Salt Rheum, Scald Hest, Sore Eyes. From Harvey &eller, Esq., the able editor of the • Trinkhannock Democrat, Pennsylvania. Our only child, about three years of age, was at tacked by primples on his forehead. They rapidly spread until they formed a loathsome and virulent sore, which covered his face t and actually blinded his eyes for some days. A skilful physician applied nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded his hands, lest with them he should tear open the festering and cor rupt wound which covered his whole face. Having tried every thing else we bad any hope from, we began giving your SARSAPARILLA, and applying the iodide of potash lotion, as you direct. The sore began to heal when we had given the first bottle, and was well when we had finished the second. The child's eyelashes, which had come out, grew again, and he is now as healthy and fair as any other. The whole neighbor hood predicted that the child must die;" Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint, Dyspep sia, Heart Disease, Neuralgia, when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly cured by this Ex. SARSAPARILLA.
