THE STRANGER UPON THE SILL. nr THOMAS BUCHANAN READ. [Mr. Read, who discourses so sweetly upon “tho lonely homo where ho was born,’* is a native of Uwchlan toymship, Chester county. Ho is tru ly an artist-poot, and poetry flours from his pen in all tho glowing tints and roseate hues that the picture emanating from tho easel receives from the poncil'of this gifted and talofttod artist. Every one who boars an attachment to the “ lonely home where ho was born’* will read, this poem with emotions of pleasure.] Between broad fulda of wheat and com, la tho lonely hotUe who o I was born ; Tho poach tree loans against tho wall. And the woodbine wanders ovor all; Thoro is tho shaded door way still. But a stranger's foot has crossed cho sill. Thoro ia tho barn—and aa of yoro I can smell the hay from tho open door, And soo tho busy swallows throng, And hoar tho poowoo’s mournful song ; But tho stranger comes—oh ! painful proof—. His sheaves are piled to tho Iteatod roof. Thoro i s tho orchard—the very trees Where my* childhood know long hours of case. And watched tho shadowy moments run, Till ray life has imbibed more shade than atm, The swing from tho bough fetill swoops tho air, -But tho stranger’s children are swinging thofb. There bubbles tho shady spring below, With its bulrush brook whore the hazels grow; 'Twas there I found the calanlus rodt. And watched tho minnows poise and shoot, And hoard tho robin lave his wing— But tho stranger’s bucket is at the spring. Oh, ye who daily cross tho sill. Steal lightly, for I love it still^ And when you crowd tho old barn leaves, Then think what countless harvest shoaVei ilavii passed within tho scouted door To gladden eyes that ard no moro. Deal kindly with those orchard trees ; And when your children ordwd their knees, Their sweetest fruit they shall impart, As if old memories stirred tho heart. To yodtbl’til sports still leave the swing, And in sweet reverse hold tho spring. The barn, tho trees, tho brook, tho birds, Tho meadows with their lowing herds. The woodbine on tile cottago wall— My heart still Ungers by them alii Ye strangers on my, native sill, Step lightly, for I love it still. 3Eisft(lnnmia. USEFUL LESSONS. ' Hints to Pedestrians.— The following use ful hints to pedestrians we find in an English medical work recently issued in London.— The directions are eminently practical, and, if followed, may save tduoli trouble and in convenience on a journey: 1. Clothes should bo loosely fitting through out; no stiff or tight nijokclothar no ligatures tied more .or. Laas—tightiy .round .the limbs.— Woolen materials are" far the best for the outer garments; flarinel for these worn next the akjn. 2. I’he color of the odter dross, if choice can bo allowed, should bo light, white, or some shade of gray—especially must this rule bo followed where the sun has much power. A black dress is of all the most un pleasant for a long walk. 3. The head should be sheltered By a cap or felt hat—soft, flexible, and perforated with holes, so that the air has ready access to the surface of the horid. Apeak for the ward ing "off sun-rays front the eyes, arid a hood to protect the back of the head and the neck, will both be of some advantage. In tropical climates a white cover ofror all would be very advantageous. 4. The feet should be clothed with light worsted socks, and dimes or Boots should be worn which are not too tight for the foot, and which are. so made by having the inside edge of the front part of each boot poralell to that of its. follow, that the toes are not cramped together in h cone or wedge-shaped front.— The form of each sole ought to correspond exactly with the natural form of the foot-sole. Above all, let the fleels be no longer than the rest of the sole. A more abominable phrase than the term “ military heels” was never introduced. The height is increased to the d.etrimet t pf the soldier lb eyefy oth er particular. Blisters and sore foot.may well happen after a long march ; the former are best treated by ' oasaing a single thread of worsted ftoiti side to side thfoijgh each blister, and leaving it for a day undisturbed. Sore feet are much relieved by tepid bathing, having first dissolved in this water a small quantity of common salt nr alum: 5. If weight must he carried. the bundle should bp so placed between the shoulders that it feists there without muscular exertion, and the frame work of the knapsack should take its support by light iron' rods upon the bony framework of the pelvis, rind not be hung hy straps-whioh pass across the chest. A clean shirt, soap, a pair pf clean socks, and a light waterproof overcoat will form the greater part of the package necessary for a pedestrian tourist. . . 6. If the nfrangnmerit ho at all feasible, omo daily practice should he had in walk ing distances preparatory to a long journey, each day increasing the ground passed over, so that the pedestrian may not enter on his task quite unused to the exorcise. 7. The time occupied in walking should bq, if possible, so divided that some rest may be obtained.m.„tbo middle of the day, and so while the beat is greatest! Food should bo plain, nutritious, and not too bulky ; the pommiriari* or. prepared meat of the North American Indian is probably the, best typo of portable food for a pedestrian. OCT* They have a nice Select Council in the “loyal” city of Philadelphia. On '.Thursday they had a lively “ discussion,” in which street slang and the lowest blackguardism was displayed, the finale being a knock-down between a couple of the members. This is the to offer a reward for the arrest of the outlaws who mobbed the iDgersolls. —Harrisburg Fatriot. “OUR COUNTRY—MAY IT ALWAYS BE RIGI^T—BUT RIGHT OR WRONG OUR COUNTRY." CEDARS. Tho grovo of cedars on Mount non still subsists, disposed in nlho groups corresponding with as many hummocka of moraines, but of tho Very old patri archs probably not a, single specimen sur vives. 'ln 1574 RaUWoVf counted twenty-six. Iff 1653 Ohovenot Counted Jwonty-threo. La roquo in 1688 found only twenty; in IG9G Madudrel oAw only sixteen, although plenty of y»un£ ones. Labillardlcro found them re duced to seven in 1787, M. TchUmtchoff speaks of thlfii loosely as ten or twelve, and Hunker in 1860 found no young ones at all, but about four hundred trees, of which only fifteen exceeded fi'teen feet in girth, and two others exceeded twelve feet in girth* If the trees countod-.hv llauwolfrChcyenotvaivd the’ others above mentioned, were to remarkable fur age and .size us to bo easily distinguished *in their days, which was no doubt tho case, these must have all disappeared, and are re placed by a new race or patriarchs which were young when tho others were viewed by these travelers. 1 Until of late years it bad been supposed that the cedar was.confined to Mount Leba non ; it is now known that it occurs between Bshorre and Bshinqato in Syria, and that there are vast forreats on Mount Taurus in -Asia Minor, M. P. de Tchihatcheff, a Rus sian Fnturalist who had been explorxbg Asia MinOr, thu* describes them: “ In following the southern slope of the Boulgardagh I was struck by the fine forests of cedars Which mount oven to the upper re gions of this majestic rampart. I had at first supposed that it was only a local al though very interesting, phenomenon, but on ascending the Zamantau-Sau from Sal houn where it debauches, I had the happi ness to traverse for several successive days the finest cedar which are perhaps known at the present day, so that the band winch, on my botanical map of Asia Minor, marks the dpnfhin of tho cedar may extend from 3ne hundred and forty to one hundred and sixty miles from the southwest to the northeast. Until flow, botanists have been wont to make pious pilgrimages to tho cele brated cedars of Mount Lebanon, and I my self had also been fifteen years ago to con teittplate with profound emotion the ten or twelve centenarian trunks which raised themsehes in isolation on that classic ground; 'but now they appear to me very trifling be fore the fine forests which I have just tra versed, and along side of which they figure only like our hot-houses palm-trdos when compared to the palm-trees of the forests bf tho tropics.” (Ann. de V Acad, des Sciences, vol. xxviii. p. 759.) , Tho cedar is chiefly prized for its bcailty and raajeUty, and for the interest attached to it in connection with Biblical history. Bor economic or practical purposes it is of little dr no value ; the ancients esteemed it for its durability, but even this is now disputed, although, wo think, unjustly; biit whether durable or not, thoro is no doubt that it is wholly wanting in strength and tenacity, and is consequently lightly esteemed by the arti san, and little planted by the landowner.— This inferiority of its timber has given unu sual importance tp a Scientific question which -hafl-oHiito-ycars beon'muoh“dobated~amwg~ botanists, namely, whether there is more than ohe species of cedar, or whether the ce dar of Lebanon, tne cedar of the Himalayas, and the cedar of Mount Atlas are Hot dll (tnee one and tho same. Equal to ti!e Emeuce.ncv. —Not many years ago, two Frenchmen—one wealthy and in the possession of ready onsb, and the oth er poof and penniless—occupied hy chance the same roam in a suburban hotel. In the morning the “ seedy” one arose first; took from his pocket a pistol, and bolding it to bis own forehead, and backing against the door, exclaimed to his horrified companion : “Itis my last desperate resort; lam pour niless and tired of life ; give me five,hundred francs, or I will instantly blow out my brains, and you will.bo arrested as a murderer?” The other lodger found himself the hero of an unpleasant dominion, but tbs cogency of bis companion’s argument struck him “cold” He quietly crept to this pantaloons, handed over the amount, and the other vamoosed, after lucking the door on the outside. Hearing of this another Fretiehnirin, of very savage aspect, one night tried to room with a tall, raw-boned man from Arkansas, who had been rather free with his mobey during the day, and evidently had plenty more behind. Next morning " Pike” awak ening, discovered his room-mate standing over him, with a pistol leveled at his own head, rind evidently quaking with agita tion. • “ What the deuce are you standing thar for in the cold 1" said Pike, propping him self on hia elbow, and oooly surveying the Gaul. lam desperate I” was the reply. ” You give mo one hundred dollar, or I will blow out my brain 1” “ Well then blow and be darried 1” repli ed Pike, tutriingover. “ Bute you will be arrested for zo aur daire 1” persisted the Gaul, earnestly. “ Eh, what’s that V said Pike ; “oh I I see” and suddenly drawing a revolver and a five-pound bowie knife from under’ his pil low ho sat upright. 11 A man may as well be hung for a sheep ns a lamb,” he coolly rerii'arked ; arid, lit the word bo started for the Gaul; but the lat ter was too nimble , the “-boss-pistol,” inno cent of lead, exploded in the air, and with one frantic leap our little Frenchman was standing in his night robe at the foot of the staircase—a proof that what may suit one latitude will not answer for anotllbf. A Cat Killed bv Robins.—A moat re markable instance of the belligerent qualities of the Robin has just come to our notice. It appears that a half-grcw.n cat, belonging to a citizen of tho town, ,lmd a fancy for killing yoUng chickens and birds, She spent much of her time in climbing trees, to tho great an noyance,, doubtless,- of sump robins which had built their neats there. A, few days since, tvhen puss was engaged in her favorite amusement, some six or eight robins seem to have combined to close her career. They at tacked her in a* body, pouncing upon her with groat fury and planting their beaks in to her head with a severity which caused the cat. to..!indulgo,.,ia.. frightful screams.•-••Upon tho inmates of the house coming to her as sistance the robins retired from the conflict, and tho cat escaped under an adjoining kitchen.' Sot coming out,.and a rather disa greeable smell beginning to issue therefrom in a few days afterwards, the floor was taken up, and the cat found dead, with her eyes pl'cked out, and other evidences about her head of having been severely dealt with.— We have never known of a more striking proof of tho devotion of the “ Red Breasts” for their young. .

Tho pulpits generally, and a majority of Republican papers, now boastingly rejoice that “ the North has vindicated lha cause of John Brown, and wiped out slavery . Nor is this auy foolish or (inconsiderate boast; it is Strictly true. The policy of the Republican party, since it_oama into power, has boon a faithful carrying out of tho work begun by old John Brown. Tho administration of Abraham Lincoln was a John Brown raid on ThTgranilest scale; and it was ho more.— That is the place it will occupy in history.— The bloody business is done, and we do not write for tho'Vurpose of amending the great crime. Wo do not seek to raise the dead.— Wo accept as we find them ; but it is our business to toll the truth about those facts. It is our business to atrip off all those bandages of shame, hypocrisies, and lies, and lay bare to the bone this monstrous carcass of frauds and despotism. Tho record of this party is in revolution and blood; in tho rev olution and blood inaugurated by John Brown. It has finished the raid which that prince of assassins and thieves, John Brown, began. As a part of the history of these times, which we wish to leave in the columns of Tue Oi,d Guard, ifvo copy below part of a speech delivered by President Johnson, in tho Senate ttf tho United States, December 12, 1859. It is a fair and truthful history of the most important period in tho history of Br6wn, who was one of the chief founders of the Republican parly, the inaugurator of its policy. Mr. Johnson was speaking in reply to Senator Doolittle, who had offered, in the Senate, an apology for Brown, by declaring that his son had been murdered in KansA*, and that he acted in revenge far tho wroncs he had suffered. In apswor to this excuse, S ebator Johnson, tho President of the United States, made tho following speech : 14 It sceriig that we have some now born Christians, wlio aro making John Brown Uloir leader, who nro trying to canonize him and make him a great apostle and martyr. — Wore these the elements of a Christian and a Christian martyr? How do the facts Stand in this case? Wheii was fclic old man Brown’d sun killed, and when did ho commit these atrocities? Even admitting the truth of the statement of the Senator from Wiscon sin, they are not justifiable,. but t when wo show 1 1 ab the facts are different, they aro less so. Tho circumstances are stated in the exidouce of Mr. Harris, which will bo foiind in a report made by a committee of Congress, and republished in the Herald of Freedom . of Kansas—a paper that has at its head for President the name_Qf_a_Jßopablicani v- Uhasa, of Ohio, and Mr. Banka, of Massachu setts, for Vice-President i “ The circumstances attending Win. Sher rpan’a assassination are testified to by James IXarria, of Pranklin. county, Kansas. Mr. Sherman was staying over night at the house •of Harris, when, dn the 24th of May, at about two o’clock. Captain John Brown and party came there, and after taking some property, and questioning Ilirrisand others. Sherman was a«ked to wMk. out. Mr. liar !is, in His affidavit says: ‘Old Brown hskel Mr. Sherman to go out with him, and Sher man then went cut with Brown. I heard nothing more for about fifteen minutes.— Two of the * northern army/ as they styled themselves, stayed with us until they heard il cap burst, and then tlieso two men left.— Next morning, about ten o'clock, I found William Sherman deadjn the creek near my house." I was looking for him ; as he had not come hack I thought ho had been mur dered. I took Mr. William Sherman (bocty) out of the creek and examined it. Mrs,* Whiteman was with me. Sherman's skull was split dfibfl in two places, and some of his brains were washed out by the water; a large hole was cut in his breast, and his left cut off, except a little piece of skin on one side.'’ “ This was the 24th of May, I will read from the same paper another extract; “ When the news of. the tbrealonod fliego of Lawrence reached John Brown, Jr,, who iras a member of the Tupoka Legislature, ho organized a company of about sixty men and marched towards Lawrence. Arriving at Palmyra, he learned of the sacking, of the town, and tlje position of the people. lie reconnoiterod for a time in the vicinity, but finally marched back towards Ossnwatomio. The night before reaching that place, when only a few miles away, they criaiped for the night. Old John Brown, who, wo believe, was with the plirty, (tingled out, with him self, seven men. These he marched to a poin* eight miles above the mouth* of Pottaw atomie creek, and called from their beds, at their several residences, at the hour of mid night, on the 24th of May, Allen Wilkinson. William Sherman, William P. Doyle, Wil liam Doyle, and Drury Doyle. All wore found the next morning, by the road side, ■or in the highway, some with a gash in their heads and sides, and their throats cut; oth ers with their skulls split open in two places, with holes in their breasts, and hands cut off." “ 110 seems to have had a great passion for cutting off hands. “ No man in Kansas has pretended to deny that old John Brown lod that murderous for ay which massacred those men. Bp to that period not a hair of John Brown’s head, or that of his sons, had been injured by the pro slavery party. , “ It was not until the 30th of August, three months after the Pottawatomie massa cre, that tho attack was made on Ossawate mio by the pro-slavery forces, and Frederick Brown, a son of old John, was killed. “ To show all the facta in regard to the massacre of the 24th of May, I will read to tho Senate the affidavits of sonu of the eye witnesses of the transaction. Allen Wilkin •son-was-a-member-of-the- Kansas- Legisla ture—a quiet, inoffensive man. Ilia widow, Louisa Jane Wilkinson, testified that on the night of tho 24th of May, ISSG, between tho hours of, midnight and day-break, she thinks, a party of men camo to the -house whore they wore residing, and forcibly carried her husband away; and they took him in the name of tho 1 northern army.’ and that next morning ho was found, about one hundred and fifty yards from the house, dead. Mrs. Wilkinson was very ill at tho time, of mea sles. She snys-further-! ‘ " I bogged them to let Mr. Wilkinson stay with mo, saying that I was sick and help less, arid could not stay by myself. My husband also asked them to, let him stay with me until he could get somo one to wait on mo ; told then! that ho wuuld not run off, but he would be there tho next day, or whenever called for’; tho old man, who seemed to be in command, looked at me, and then around at tbo children, and replied, ‘you have neigh bors/ I said ‘so I have, but they are not hero, and I cannot go for them/ The old man replied, lit matters not/ and told him to get ready. My husband wanted to put on his hoofs, and get ready, so as to bo protected from the damp and night air, but .they would not lot him. TP hoy then took ihy husband away. * * * * * * “ After they were gene, I thought I heard my husband’s voice.in complaint. * * V-Noxt^norning-Mr.-WilkinsonVbody was found about ono hundred and fifty yards from tho house, in somo dead brush. A la dy who saw my husband’s body oaid that there was u gash in his head and side. Oth orb said that ho’was cut in tho throat twice/ 1 44 Mr. Doyl'e and his sons were murdered on tho same night with Sherman and Wilk inron; and Mrs. Boyle’s deposition gives this account of it: (Here follows several depositions.) “ wrote a letter to John Brown during his imprisonment, showing that she still regarded him as the murderer of her husband and children : 44 Chattanooga, Tgnn., ) '• Nov. 29, 1859. ] 14 John Brown —Sir: Although vengeance is not mine, I confess that I do fool gratified to hear tlmtynu were stopped in your fiend ish career at Harper’s Ferry, with the loss of your two sons. You can now appreciate my distress in Kansas, when y ? ou then and there entered my houseat midnight, and arrested my husband and two boys and took them out of the yard, and in cold bloodshot them dead in my hearing. You cannot say you did it to free our slaves—we had none, and never expected to own one; but it has only made mo a | our, discwfrolate widow, with helpless children. While I feel for your folly, Ido hope and trust you will moot with just re ward. o.', how it pained my heait to hear the dying groans of my husband and chil dren I If this scrawl gives you any consola tion you are welcome to it. 44 Mahala Doyle. 44 N. B.—My son, John Doyle, whooe life I beggedfof you, is now grown up, and is very desirous to be at Charleston on the day of your execution ; he would certainly bo there if his mo,.ns would permit it, that ho might adjust tho rope around your neck, if Gover nor Wise would permit. M. D.” 44 Three months after Wm. Doyle and hia two sons were murdered, three .months rjtcr Sherman wds murdered, his skull cut open in two places, and tho stream had washed the blood out of hia cranium—three months after that, John Brown’s son ’was killed at Osaawatomio. Then, what becomes of this excuse? Why this apology for a man like tbis? : Three months after ho had committed this fiendish act, his son lost bis life at tho battle of Ossawatomio, It was on that night about 11 o’clock, as testified by Mrs. Doyle, as testified by her son, as testified by Mr. Harris—theses men, innocent, unoffending -men—wero-takcn^ut^nrid^n^tho'midiTrgirt hour, mid in the forest, and on tho road side, foil victims to tho insatiate thirst of John ■ Brown for blood. Then it was that those murders were committed, that hell entered his heart, not tho iron his soul. Then it was •that lie shrank from the dimensions of a hu man being,.into those of a reptile. Then it was, if nub before, that ho changed his char acter to a demon who had lost al] the 'virtues of a man. • And you talk about sympathy lor John Brown ! ‘‘John Brown Stands before the country a murderer. The enormity, the extraordinary ferociousness of the father set the son mad. like that of sacrificed Abel—cried even from the tongueles* caverns of the earth to him fur pity, and to Heaven for justice; but his iron heart, not soul, refused to yield ; but Heaven, in the process of time, has meted out to him justice on the gallows. Justice divine to punish sin moves slow—Lhe slower its pace, the surer is its blow. It will overtake us if living—it will overtake iis if dead. Justice has overtaken its victim, and he has gone to eternity with crimsoned hands, with blood upon his head. “ But the Senator talks about the qchool in which John Brown was taught. Why, sir, Juhn Brown, according to his own confession, had entertained these ideas for twenty years. John Brown did not go to Kansas to go to school, lie went there as a teacher on the 24th of May. At the midhour of nighf, from the wife and the mother, ho dragged the hus band and two son?, and imbrued his hands in their blood. Those were the doctrines that lie went there to teach. lie did not go there to be taught; but ho went there as a teacher. These were his teachings. Imag ine the cries and lamentations on the one hand, and the shrieks of the dying and the mutilated on the other. I think sometimes that I hear shrieks, so loud, so wdd, so clear, that even listening arigels stoop from Heaven to hear. This is the man for whom an apo logy is offered. I did the Senator the justice to say that ho disclaimed rill sympathy with Brown, and yet I read what, in fact, was an apology. What furthermore did the Senator say? Wo have shown, and the fact is not controverted, that ho rnurdered five human beings on May 2-ldi. They have shown, in trying to answer this, that his son did not re receive this ill-treatmopt from Captain Pate until the Irtst day of* May. Wo-have shown that his other son was not killed until Au gust 30th. Let us remember these facts, and come to the old man as a thief and a murderer. I wrint all those modern fanatics who have adopted John Brown and his gal lows as their Christ and their ptoss, to see who their Christ is. The Senator says again : “ I regret that gentlemen,.in speaking of this man Brown, should be pleased to speak of him as a robber, or a thief, or a vagabond, in’tho ordinary sense of the term. Sir, it is of the essence of robbery and theft, that tho rubber or thief who robs or steals should act from the desire of gain. Certainly no such charge can be made against this man, as that he was actuated with the lust of gain, lie acted from far different motives. ,lfo sought to give liberty to the enslaved, and laid down his life for that purpose—freely and bravely did he do it.” “ That is, you may steal and commit theft if you do-it to aid in tho cause of tho aboli tion of slavery. Have wo any proof that this’ is bo?. What does Mrs. Wilkinson say in her affidavit? When John Brown and his comrades were there on the 24th, when they took Wilkinson oat and murdered him, just before they, left they took his property arid Ins only hofso. I suppose they needed the horse to aid in the emancipation of slaves!. Horse stealing is carried on to agreat extent sometimes in a frontier country. Mrs. Doyle states that they inquired where their horse was, and wore told it was out on thc’praiiie. What took place at Harper’s Ferry ? They took Col. Washington’s silver and his watch. What does he admit in his own confession? Timt ho, during tho last winter, had stolen, had kidnapped, and run off eleven slaves from the State ot Missouri to Kansas. That is not stealing, though ; I suppose that is not theft, that is not robbery; and wo ought not to talk about this old mnu as stealing in the common acceptation of the term ? What is it. I ask tho country, I ask tho Senate, if it is not stealing, robbery, highway robbery ? And yet these things arc thrown out, poihaps •not intended, but they do operate as an apo* excuse in tho minds of many, for the infamy, the murders, the thieving, tho treacherous conduct of this old man Brown, who was nothing mure than a murderer, a robherra'thief mid iTtraltrir. . I chink,, Mr. President, that so far ks John Brown is concerned, the facts which I have presented stand uncontroverted. The Sena tor has failed to touch them, lie has n-/t re moved them, but has added strength and ad ditional proof to what I said in ircfernco to them. It was not ui3 r intention to consume this lengsh of time, and I should not have said a single word on the subject if the reso ,lotions could have been adopted without dis cussion, and especially so if a reference had not been made to John Brown not being a murderer and a /thief, involving the reputa tion and character of some of the citizens of my own State; “ There does seem to bo a providential in terposition in this affair. Brown murdered Doyle and bis two sons. Doyle left a widow and four helpless children. Justice seemed to be a little tardy ; but it kept constantly in pursuit of its victim, and but a short time since the man who murdered Doyle and his two sons, fell a victim, with his two sonsi at Harper's Ferry. Ido not say that this was a stroke of Providence ; bat it was a singe-? lar coincidence. Ho whoso, hands wore red, crimson with the blood of a father and two sons, fell a victim at Harper’s Ferry with his own two sons. It seems that Divine Provi dence intended it as a rebuke, an illustration that justice will not only overtake its-victim, but will mete out justice in a similar manner. “ I think, Mr. President, that I have shown the tendency of the policy to which I have .called Whether it has been de signed at all times by those who preached it or not, I shall not. undertake-to say, but I will say that the effect of that kind of teach ing has been the result which is so evident; and I want to say now in po iipiiit ,of-boast ing, to my friends East and Woss, North and South, that the time has arrived when en croachments on the institutions of the South should cease ; the time has arrived, when wo Ijavo well nigh done niaking appeals to you on the subject; but all we ask of you is. that, as brothers of the same great Confederacy, you will understand and carry oat the Con stitution as it is, and lot us cease this bick ering. Let us cease this agitation, and stand upon the Constitution as the comman altar, and maintain all its guarantees, arp^.swear bv our fathers and the God who made us that tiio Constitution and its guarantees shall bo preserved ; and, in doing so, wo shall pre serve the Union ; and, in preserving the Union, we shall have peace and harmony, and irh.o^TTQ^TTi7ile?i — which has visited our country will continue to go on." It is fortunate for the cause of tnith and .justice, and for the future historian of this terrible civil war, that tile correct history of old John Brown’s inauguration of the policy of flio Republican^or Abolition party, was made by so eminent an authority as Presi dent Johnson ; and it is especially fortunate that this record was made in the Senate ot the United States. It is a part of the dehates of that body, Where it stands unoontradicted and unrelated-. -It-was an endorsement of the policy of this rnidor.and murderer, by tbo North, tlir.t started ond aroused the South, and finally drove it into secession ; for John Brown’s raid was endorsed by tlio North.— From almost every church and school-house, the voice of prayer and lamentation wont up to Almighty God, canonizing his name and endorsing his infamy. - The whole Republi can press lent its support to this abomination; and with entire consistency, when the Now England soldiers marched through this city, they made it hideous as hell by singing and shouting “John Brown's sflul is inarching on." So it is, wo have little doubt, marching o>i, through seas of fire, in company with fiends, thieves'and asssassins, such as. wore bis companions and abettors in this lifo,-- So it is, generally speaking, marching on to the music of despotism, ignorance, re venge rind lust, that swells-up like a gorgon from the bottomless pit, out of the brazen throats of the negro-worshipping mobs 1— Marching on, as a pestilence or contagion, or a thing of horror and death marches on 1 — Behind its march are the wails of widows, the screams of children, the vain implora tions of defenceless old men, and the l/umill ation of manhood. Before it, the insane gib berish and fantastic dance of negroes, of both the white and. black complexion, making night and day hideous with infernal delight. Marching on ! —alas, poor country 1 alas, hu man nature 1 Wliy do wo write those things now? Because wo love, and would save our country. Because wo would bring our coun trymen of the, North to their Senses, by hold ing up the John Brown raid ns a glass fur them to see tlieir faces in.—Wo -would re mind them that there is both a Ood and 7u's iory, and that justice arid truth, sooner or la tor, will whip all the shams and lies out of the records of human events. If the South has fellies to repent of, wo have crimes, crimes which will rollout of their ('raves and hunt us like demons through the world.— Vainly do wo seek to assure ourselvop, by shutting our oyes and saying, verily, what d good people are wet There is an oyo that wo oaryiot shut. There is an arm that-we can not stay. Time is an inexorable avenger of all" mens’ wrongs; and time will strip us bare to the bone, and show what a carcass of frauds and shams wo are. Wo repeat again, the last four years of Republican rule have been a stupendous John Brown raid. Logi cally, constitutionally, they have been just that, and nothing more. What we dare to say-is -this,-that-Jolin-Brown-hn'4~asTuuch Constitution and law for what he did, as the Republican administration had for what it has done. This U what wo say, and no load- ing Republican dare attempt tq debate thr merits of the question with us before the* peo ple. ( They dare coll names; but they dare not debate., ( Wo love truth and respect jus tice above all things. L , We hold no opinion which wo will not gladly submit to the test of fair argument and debate ; but these irai* tors of the John Brown school dare not ar gue. They carry'all points by singing, shouting, upd mobbing. Their throats are trumpets, and their brains gongs and sound* ing-boards. .. M’Donald Clark.— Everybody remembers - M’Uunald Clark, who was so well known in Now York a few years since as the “ mad poet.” Every one know Clark by sight, and .one day, while, quietly taking his dinner al the Astor Ilonso, two young sprigs of fashion, seating themselves opposite, commenced a conversation intended for the oars of Clark* One said s “ Well I bare been in New York two months and have seen all I wish to.see, with one exception.” “ Ah,” said the other, *' what is that?” “ M'Donald Clark, the great poet,” respon ded No. 1, with groat emphasis. . Clark raised his eyes slowly from Ms plate, and, seeing.the attention of the table was on him, stood up, placed his hand over his heart, and, bowing with gravity to the young men, said ; “ I am M’Donald Clark, the greijt poet.” The poung gents started in mock surprise, gazed at him in silence for a few moments, and then, amid an audible titter of the com pany, one of them drew from his pocket a, quarter of a dollar, and laid it |}cforo Clark still looking at him. without a.smile. Clark raised the quarter in silence and dignity, placed it in his,pocket, and drew thence a chilling which ho deposited before the young gent with these words : “Children half price 1” Tlio titter changed to a roar, and the ex quisites were missing instantly. Peril op a Revivalist.^—An anecdote is told of Fenny, the ‘ revivalist,’ and a canal or, to the following effect: He was “ holding forth” ,in Rochester, and in walking along the canal one day, carao across a boatman who was swearing furious ly. Marching up, ho confronted him and abruptly asked: “Sir, do you know where you are going?" The unsuspecting man innocently replied that ho was going up the canal on the boat Johnny Sands. “ No, sir, you are not,” continued Fenny ; “ you .arc going to hell faster than a canal boat will convey yon.” The boatman looked at him in astonish*, ment for a. minute, and then returned tho same .nustion : “ Sir, do you know where you aro going ?" “ I expect to go to heaven.” “ No, air, you are going into the canal” And suiting tho action to tho word ho took Fenny into his arms and tossed him into tho murky waters, whore ho would have drownefl out.

Ilis heart smote him, and ho turned back. “ If you are in want,” said Ritchie, “ why don’t you beg ?” ‘‘Surely, it’s begging I am, yer honor." “ You did’nt say a word." “ Of course not, yer honor, but see how the skin is spakin’ through the trowsers! and the bones cryin’ out through me skin 1 Look’ at nio sunken cheeks, and the famine that's starin’ in me eyes J Man alive, isn’t it hog gin’ X am with a thousand tongues ?” X©* A retired cheesemonger, who.hated any allusion to the business that had enrich-, ed him, said to Charles Lamb in the course of a discussion on the power of laws : ‘‘ You must boar in mind, sir, that I have got rid of t(iat sort of stuff which you poets call the ‘ milk of human kindness.’ ” , Lamb looked at him steadily and gave ac quiescence in these pithy words: “ Yes, lam aware of that; you turned it into choose se veral years ago.” K 7 “; A pd3l-o,fllce clerk tolls the following: “ A man called at our one day," when I happened for the moment to bo engaged elsewhere in the office. lie whis tled loudly.
