The currentless waters are dead and still—

THE OLD CANOE
ITSCE'W SHE WOITLD
D. was a staid and honest des,
con in on of‘the . interior towns of this State,
who had vein of dry, caustic humor in his
comOosi , .n. The deacon had a boy of some
dawn ere, who was somewhat inclined
to be 1 t•• ugly when not under the parental
eye. In ltool, especially, John was a source
o f • tennoyance to the teacher. One
day the -r punished him for some mis
demilanoihtnd John went home to enter his
comedei, and told his father that the mitt
tmttelnidifitdppl4l him.
"-What" exclaimed the deacon, elevating
his eyebroit's, "been whipped .?"
"Ye-e-es," sobbed the boy. .
, "4nd dici ye let a woman whip ye?" shout
ed the old leacon.
"ye-e , es. I couldn't help it:"
, "Well, John', you little rascal, you go to
school tomorrow, and if Miss— undertakes
to whip ye again, you just pitch hi; don't let
a woman whip ye if ye can help it. Don't
take any stick to strike with, but ye may, strike,
scratch, bite and kick as much as you have a
mina to." •
The next day the, boy went to school, and
iituboldesied by thepatmission given by his
father, Was soon brought before the tribunal
of violated rules. The teacher undertOok to
correct him, and he did as his father had told
him The result was that John got a most
unmerciful trouncing and was thoroughly sub
dued. —When he went home he went to his
father, crying--
"Well, dad, I got an awful bad licking to
day."
"What exclaimed the old deacon,
ye let that woman whip ye again
"Ye•e-cs," whimpered John, "I kicked her,
and struck her, and fit all I could, but she
lammed me orfully."
"Ah :" chuckled the humorous old deacon,
"yon tarnel little f001,.1 knew she would. and
she'll give you a trouncing every time she un
dertakes it, and I advise you to behave your
Bell' in futtire."
John began to have some perception of his
fattieeti motive, and :ever after was a better
and wiser boy. .

tle Nellie, who was or.ly four years old, no
sooner saw work laid aside than she ran to her
mother's knee and claimed a seat there.—
Mrs. Lee lifted her to her lap, and went on
busily thinking of her duties and cares, while
she rocked herself and Nellie to and fro.
For a time Nellie amused herself very qui
etly by winding a string in and out through
her fingers : but presently she began talking
to herself in a low tone—" When , I say my
prayers; God says, "Hark! angels, while I
hear a little noise:* Her mother asked her
what noi:4c was that.
"A little girl's noise. Then the angels will
do just so (shutting her month very tight and
keeping very still for a moment,) till I say
4.men."
Isn't this a swett thought ? I wonder if the

.TIIE SECRET OF SPFEGEON ' S EFFICIENCY
Spurgeon's efficiency is said to lie in his ad
ministrative ability. He not only works him
self, but inspires others to work with all their
might. It is eaid that a commercial tiro in
London were so impressed with his administra
tive ability that they offered him $15,000 a
year to embark his influence in their enter
prise. 'He manages a church of 3,1400 mem
bers, a theological seminary of 100 students,
publishes a monthly marazine and a weekly
sermon, has just issued a hymn book, and is
about to establish an orphan asylum. He has
infused this spirit of work into his church.—
Six hundred young men go out every Sunday
to preach wherever they can get a hearing.—
Prayer meetings are held in fifty or more
places every evening. A Bible class of 300
young men is conducted by one of the elders.
'Ars. Barlett, a member of this church, has a
class of nine hundred, the average attendance
being seven hundred, which at inception, num
bered only three. Success, in religious as
well as secular enterprises, is generally pro
portionate to the amount of well directed . ef

A. SITAR? REJOINDEL—It is related that at
a recent dinner at the Merchants' Tailors
School, London, Mr. Disraeli made a speech
to the effect that American politics were no
guide to those of England. "America," he
said, "was a colony, and had no great nation
al traditions to keep her straight, as we have ;
and then, of course, she had boundless lands,"
ttc. Mr. Adams,the American Minister, was
sitting opposite to him. Mr. Disraeli declares
in private that he never saw him. Be that as
it, may, Mr. Adams got up, and with much
dignity, but evident annoyance, said that "if
America was a colony, then she had the tra
ditions of the mother country ; but if she was
not a colony, but a great nation, she had the
traditions of her founders, and her founders
were Englishmen who left England because
they were dissatisfied with English institu
tions."

SPEECH OF THADDEUS STEVENS
On. the Supplementanr Reconstruction
RUI, adopted by the House sC Repre
sentatives, Tuesday, July Itth.
AIL Bums, of Penneylnnis, closed the
detate, saying : I confess that a small portion
of the blame for the acts of the Preiddent since
Congress adjourned, may be directed to Con
gress, in using improper language in the bill,
and that was owing to an indistinct knowl
edge of the country for which we were lees.
lating. If we bad all agreed, that the States
lately in rebellion were conquered territory,
and Mbject to this nation m conquered ter
rho, ; and if we had treated them accord
ingly, we should have had but very little
troulge in reconstructing this Government
upon the principles of the admission of new
Dates, but we were not all perfectly prepared
for it in our understanding of the laws of na
tions, nor is it wondertul that we should have
been thus wandering in our views. .
I will state what I suppose to have been
our real condition. The nation was afflicted
with a civil war, which for, a time was an hr
surrectiou, which divided its sway. Some
twelve million of inhabitants, clan:ling that
they no longer belonged to this Union, set up
an independent gover nment .
. They formed all
the machinery of a government, both of a na
tional government and of a State under that
national government, and they raised large
armies to defend their pretensions. We, at
the period when we declared against them the
blockade, admitted them to be, not an inde
pendent nation, but an independent belligerent,
rising above the rank of insurrectionists, and
entitled to all the privileges and subject to all
the liabilities of anatedependent belligerent.—
The nations of Europe so treated them. We
so treated them in our dealings with prisoners
of war. In short, there could be no doubt of
the fact.
We were, then, at war as two independent
nations ; and it depended merely upon the
will of the conqueror whether the defeated
party should be treated merely as a vanquished
nation, or whether we should, in addition,
punish them as individufls for the violation of
the sovereign rights of the nation. We con
quered. What did we conquer? We con
quered the confederate government. We con
quered a government that had been erected
and maintained by those who declared that
they owed no allegiance to the Government
of the United States. For these conquered
rebels to maintain that they had any rights
under a Constitution which they had thus re
pudiated and attempted to destroy, and that
the States which had been arrayed in hostility
to the nation were still States within this
Union, as asserted to-day by the gentleman
from Wisconsin [Mr. Eldridge], seems to me a
bald absurdity. Yet that was the doctrine of
the President. That is the doctrine which
some gentlemen maintain here.
Under military law we treated them as con
quered provinces. What is the law with re
gard to provinces conquered from a foreign
nation or an independent belligerent? When
you conquer territory from a foreign nation or
an independent belligerent, the territory' thus
conquered is governed by military power by
the Commander-in-chief of the Army, being
in this case the President, until the legislative
power of the nation shall have spoken and
directed what laws shall govern. But the
moment the legislative power of the nation
interposes, the military authority ceases to
have sway, and the Cummander-in-Chief has
no more to say in regard to this matter than a
corporal of militia. He is to do just what the
legislative power orders him to do, and he can
do nothing else.
A great deal is said about the President as
acting Commander-in-Chief of the Army.—
Until he was superseded in his authority by
Congress I have no fault to find in his main
taining military rule in the South. But he
assumed to exercise legislative powers ; he as
sumed to establish governments; he assumed
to appoint civil officers ; he assumed that
these conquered provinces should come back at
once to the enjoyment of all the rights of loyal
States under the Constitution, and be entitled
to all the privileges which they had possessed
prior to their rebellion. Now, air, as I said
before, ndthing of this kind came within the
power of the Commander-hi-Chief. What is
the duty of the Commander-in-Chief ? If Con
gress sends an army to quell the Indian war in
Nebraska, what is the Commander-in-Chief
to do ? Congress orders that army to go there.
It raises and equips the roily. What do the
officers do ? They pass ptiets of legislation ;
they go there and order the troops when ,to
chtrge and when to retreat; they drill them;
they put them through military exercises. But
they can do no act that lOoks like regulating
the object of the war or the object with which
the army is sent there. Why, sir, the Consti
tution of the United States Makes express
reservation of all such power to Congress.' It
expressly declares that Congress shall have
power "to make rules for the Government and
regulation of the land and naval forces." The
Executive has nothing to do with it ; the ju
diciary have nothing to do with it. -Congress
is the only and the controlling power. Con
gress has enacted the rules and articles of war..
Could the President of the United States in
terferswith those ? Corild he add new arti
cles, new rules, new regulations? Certainly
not. The military officers that were sent as
commanders in the States were simply ap
*Anted as agents of Congress. To be mire the
original bill provided a military supervision
simply, and we had intended to follow it up
with a law putting reconstruction into the
bands o6dvilia.ns. That is what I should
have been disposed to do now (and I had pre
pared a bill with that view), using thernilltary
simply as a police and appointing civilians
to reconstruct. But if Congress chooses to
take officers of the army and assign them to
this duty, they then become the sgente of COn- •
gress, and neither the President nor any other
officer under him has a right to interfere or do
anything but what-Congress commands.
Now, sir, it being • reduced, I think, to a
plain proposition that Congress is the •
power that can reconstruct and reclaim there""

been well decided hi Don's case that all power
on this subject is vested in Congress. But, sir,'

can try any one of those who belonged.
to the belligerent forces. Jefferson Davis, or
any man of the army of the confederacy con
quered by us, is this.day liable to trial by mill
tary tribunal and,to sentence. Mr. Speaker,
while I would not be bloody minded, yet if I
had my way I would long ago have organized
a military tribunal under military power, and
I would have put Jefferson Davis and all the
members of his cabinet on trial fbr the mar= '
ders at Andersow!ille, the murders at Salis
bury, the shooting-down our prisoners of war
in cold blood. Every man of them is respon
sible for those crimes. It was a mockery to
try that ricked fellow Win, and Make him
responsible ibr acts which the coidbderate
cabinet was guilty of. Of course they should
be condemned. W)ether they should be
executed afterward I give no opinion. _
would carry out such punishment as, in my
judgment, the justice of the country required.
I would carrpit out through the legal Whim

my view Autry, a '' need. '
As to the questi. think •
that a man who 1116.rnakiered a thousand
men, who has robbed lithonsand width's,' and
orphans, who has burned dowq a thousand
houses, escaped well if, owning $lOO,OOO, he
is fined 00,000 as %punishment and to repair
his ravages. I said before that, I was not in
favor of sanguinary punishment I tenet, in
saying that, that I need not be supposed to
condemn them when they are necessary. For
instance; the clamor that hasobeen raised
against the Mexican government for the ha'
roic execution of murderers and plates [ap
plause], this clamor finds no favor with me.—
I think that while they have gone far enough
(though not half as far as they might be justi
fied in going,) yet there-rain kitty' nor policy
under heaven, and no seine of justice that
will condemn the great, heroic, much-endur.
ing man who for six years has been hunted
with a reward upon his head, has been driven
from one end of his' empire to another until
he got to the very borders, who hai no par
allel in history that I know of, except it be
William of Orange who was driven from is
land to island, and from sand pinch to sand
patch, by just about as bloody a persecutor as
was to be found in Maximilian when he de
creed that every man warring against him
should be shot down without further trial. I
am not going to shrink from saying that I
think such punishment proper. Ido not say,
nordo I ask that anybody should be exe
cuted in this country. There has got to be a
sickly humanity here which I dare not get
along side of for fear I might catch it. [Laugh
ter.] And it is now held by one of the most
liberal and enlightened gentlemen in the
country—l mean Gerrit Smith—the we shottld
even pay a portion of the damages Inflicted
on the rebels, and pay a portion of the rebel
debt. [Laughter.] I shall come some day
to haire an argument with_ Horace Greeley
about that, b ind he will explain it ; therefore
I need not say anything further. I believe. I
have said enough to explain my views on the
subject, and now I ask for a vote on the ques
tion. [Applause.] I withdraw the motion
to recommit.
ABOrT GOLD.—The amount of gold at pres
ent in existence is estimated by a correspond
ent of the New York Evening Pose at $5,
950,000,000 in value. It may be of Worm to
see what the bulk of this amount of gold would
be if it were all melted and run together.—
Pure gold is more than nineteen times as
heavy as water, and a cubic foot of water
weighs a thousand ounces avolutupoia A
cubic foot of gold would weigh then over
19,000 ounces avoirdupois, and every such
ounce of fine gold is worth more than eighteen
dollars ; so that the whole cubic foot of gold
would be worth a little more than a a
million of dollars.
e t;:r.yard of d -
would be worth tw YeAs as much
as that, or over nine million de's, and 600
cubic yards' would contain somewhat more
than the $5,950,000,000 in the world. These
600 cubic yards would be contained within a
room of about five yards high eight yards widk
and sixteen yards long, say a good sized par
lor or store of moderate aize. "But," Bays one,
"gold is so malleable that even this emallbedis
of it would gild over the whole earth." But
he either over-estimates the malleability of
gold or under-estimates the size'of the (sixth.
It takes 1,280,000 leaves of the thinnest old
foil to make an inch in thickness, or about
fifteen million and a third to make a foot, or
46,000,000 to the yard. A cubic yard of gold,
-thee could be beaten out so as to cover 46,-
000;000 square yards—somewhat lees than ten
thousand acres, for there are 4840 square yards
to the acre. Then, as there are 640 acres to the
square mile, -the whole 660 cubic yards of gold
could be beaten out so as to cover about ten
thousand square miles. That is, a tract only '
a hundred miles square, less than the extent
of Vermont, and a little more than one filth
of either New. York or Pennsylvania.
A GOOD story is told of a certain Colonel in
the late war. The Colonel aforesaid was
riding in a stage-coach, with several other pas
sengers, when he accidently d ropped hie hat
outside the coach. Putting head out of the
coach window he exclaimed, inn stentorian
voice : "Charioteer, pause ! I have lost my
Chapeau."' The driver .paid no heed to the
demand. Again the bonibastic fellow authori
tativelyVake---"Chaiteer, muse ! I have lost
my clutyeatt." No Han. being paid by the
driver to this command, a plain, blunt man,
who had I become ditty:WO with his fellow
ales silliness and pomPosity, put his
out, of the. window and said : "Driver,
bold on. This blamed fool bas list hi* hat !"
This was perfectly tntelligibie to the "drivers
and the hat was secured. ' ,
