SPRING.
et w. w. WAenncBN.
There' not In tliia wide world a scene of uch
beauty,
Aj that which th spring-time present to our
view,
When nature seems tiluased In the tports of a duty,
That the hand of the Seasons are lemline her
through.
When the fair, smiling face of outspreadingercation
Throws off her while vails of stellarr nor:
When the vaica seem to shout with a glad acclama
tion,
And the laughing air wafts hack the accents be
low. The winter recoils from tho mild vernal hreees,
Vt Inch anpuir, like contagion, Ui wate him in
death:
And the streams from their fetters of ice she releases,
Anu awakes lucm to action bytoucuof her breath.
Her voice re-invites exiled birds to her bowora.
lo enliven thur shade with their carols of iovi
She spreads the croen carpets, aod nenciU the flowers
To charm the oft air in their flagrant alloy.
he breathes o'er the valleys, she speak to tlie
mountain,
Commanding her subject to' east off their pall ;
And tho hill and the forests, the meadow and
fountains,
Start laughingly up, to reiponj to the call.
Tbc refulgence of sunlight, from her bosom reflected,
Jvinblatona the scene with its neb, golden hue,
Reviving the earth, which seemed sad dejected,
V hile tho clouds of the winter hid its radiance
from view.
Oh! how sweetly tho fragrance which (hed from
the flowers,
Whoso soft, velvet petals poring opes to the seen.
Pour forth it pure odor, when gentle "spriug
snoncrs,
In bupti.imul freshness, re-tinges the greea.
Out lime, in his progress, still hastily hurries
lo scatter the shmlows the future dotbest:
Dyhis fa"t-flectiiig moments tl.e 1'resent is hurried,
Like our early hopes, in the pall of the I'asL
Loved scenes In oblivious dread silence have per-
prrislied,
And Tim? passes on In his fiery career i
Whilo it spurts with the present It seem to be
ciieri&ne.i,
Dutspurned in hi malice when the future npprar.
Like the ebb of the seasons, our lives arc receding.
From the joy which surround us in Spring's
early bloom ;
Like time, o'er the surges life's vessels are speeding.
To the barber or dcitu and the shade or the

A BEAR IN A BEDROOM.
On Thursday ni"lit n tame boor,
which is kept by tho proprietor of the
Cambria House, got looso from his
kennel and started on an exploring
expedition through tho premises
rindinir a door open, linun entered,
and mado his wav through the house.
In passing through tho hall ho came
in contact with ono of tho servant
irirls, cn dishabillr, who, supposing
that tho bear was bent on misthicf
fled screaming into a room closo at
hand. Bruin, seeming to appreciate
a joke, pursued her closely, and took
his Btaml in tho door. Tho girl, sco
ing retreat cut o(T, crept under the
bed, to hide from tho monster. The
inmate- of tho couch, a ladj', beinc
awakened by the screams of tho girl,
and seeing Bruin making his way to.
ward the bed, started up in a hurry,
completing her toilet in a more expe
ditious manner, wo venture- to say,
than she had ever done in her life bo
fore, and added her scream to those
of tho "nil. Ihc bear commenced a
charre upon tho fair one, being evi
dently in a sportive mood. By a dex
trous flank movement ho cornered
them both, aud, raising himself upon
his hind legs, ho looked intently upon
their faces, as if to say, "What do you
think now, my dears!" By tins time
nearly tho whole houso wa aroused,
and t-amo to tho rescue of tho bo
siorred. Bruin was seized by some ol
the masculine- gender and taken lo
his kennel, whilo tho frightened wo
men were taken care of by the female
portion of tho houso. They blushed
at having been seen in so scant an ap
parel, nnd afterwards langhcd at the
groundlessness of their fright. Mil

IATEIJT TREASON.
Tho Rev. Leonard Bacon, a New
England preacher, has been making a
tour through the South with tho be
nevolent design, apparently, of gatt.
ering material for an attack on -the
impoverished pcoplo of that region.
Although sadly destitute of the nec
essaries of life, they are by no means
as 'poor in spirit" as tho pious soul
of Jlr. Bacon conceives that thev
ought to be. lie reports that imien.io(jiiiV ;.'
ltout, rebels abound on every hand
that tho graves of traitors who fell
fiirlitinir in the unholv interest of sla
ver nro kept green hy the fingers of
tuoir naruencu widows and Jactious
orphans and that, although the peo
ple render outward obedience to the
authority ot tho government, they
are at heart as hostile to it as when
the first bhot skimmed the waters of
Charleston harbor and crashed into
Sumter. This power of fathoming
tho hearts of peoplo and discovering
latent treason under a submissive and
loyal exterior, seems to be a gift winch
nature has distributed very bountiful
ly among tho party to which Jlr.
Bacon belongs. It transcends In its
marvelous character all tho feats ol
mesmerism and spirit-rapping. The
persons who practice those occult arts
confine themselves to telling you how
many blades you have in your knifo,
how many keys on your bunch, and
how much money in your breeches
pocket. They penetrate no deeper
than your clothing and solve only the
problems which lie buried in its re
cesses. But Jlr. Bacon, and hundreds
of cmisaries of his kind w ho aro wan
dering over tho South collecting data
with which Jlessrs. Sumner and Ste
vens may garnish their speeches, and
the Tribune enliven its columns, scorn
such vulgar mechanical tricks as theso.
They pass absoluto judgment on the
loyalty of a whole Stato from tho tes
timony of tho first communicative
frccdman or mendacious vagabond
they meet within its borders. They
form a perfectly clear apprehension of
tuc character 01 a citv by insprcns
its negro (juarior. 'they read indi
viduals like becks or, rather, like
mercantile signs, which can bo con
veniently perused at a distance. In
short, they aro as astute as the wit
ness on tho trial of Fit John Torter,
who pronounced that gallant officer a
traitor 'becauso," said he, " saw
treason in his rye."
It is a suflicient reply to all the stuff
which emanates from these Abolition
agents in tho South about the smoth
ered disloyalty which exists there,
that tho government docs not deal,
and lias no business, with the secret
thoughts and hidden, cherished feel
ings of tho people. It takes cogni
zanco ol overt acts alone, and leaves
undisturbed that relation between
man nnd his Maker which is out of
tho reach of human laws, is silent, sa
cred, and only to bo understood in
another world than this. So long as
the pcoplo of tho South nro obedient
to the laws of tho land, and laitlitully
perform their duties as members of
tins Union, they arc at liberty to think
what thev pleaso on any and every
subject. They may worship by their
firesides tho memory ol tho dead who
havo laid down their lives for seres
sion. They may die a in with bitter
yearning of tho splendors of that cp
arato cinpn o lor which they sacn heed
everything dear In this world, liicy
may hato.it they choose, with a deadly
haired, the political leaders w ho effect
ed their overthrow. I hey may hold
fust to the beliet that the negro was
better off in slavery than ho over will
bo out of bonds. On theso and scores
of other subjects they may differ as
radically from us as wo do Irom ench
other on a thousand things just as
momentous. But wo cannot holp it.
Force, it wo dared to nso it, would
compass no chango. You cannot nn
prison tho thoughts of men, or con
fiscate tho aftections of their hearts.
Tho most ruthless law that tho ma-
irrnitv ot blcvens could deviso, or
tho rhctono of Sumner advocato
would bs impotent to chango the con
victions of a single soul.
Since, therefore, tho bitter feeling
imputed to tho pcoplo of tho South by
Mr. Bacon and other persons who
havo been listening at koy-holos and
spying out subtlo cvidenco of treason
in tho costume and conversation of
men, who aro as obedient to the la
as they aro, even if it exists, finds no
development visible to common eyes,
wo thiuk it is timo that monotonous
and profitless comments on it shoul 1
ccaso to find place in tho journals ot
the North. Bettor seek by n magnani
mous forgctfulness of diro alienations
of battle, and tho angry disputes in
which they had their origin, to efface
from the hearts of tho Sou thorn peo
plo tho stormy passions which musl
needs lurk thcro after a war so terrible
and so recont. Better seek to give our
trethcrn of tho South reason to lovo
us and strike hand with us, than by a
policy of force and aggression to tear
open wounds which would speedily
h c.l, and embitter feelings for which
we can find a suflicient apology if we
consult tho workings of our own
hearts Trust a bravo and generous
race and they will deserve your trust
treat tlem as secret traitors and in
duo timo they w ill be more than likely
to be coaded into open ones. Phila-
DEATH-PLANK OF THE LOOMED.
The Springfield, Massachusetts, Re
publican believes that tho vital issuo
of t he Republican party is "manhood
suffrage," (the varnished way of sny
ing that a nigger shall vote,) and that
the party must come to the point to
save itself from defeat. It says that
that is the only radical issue between
the parties, ard unless the Republicans
declaro for it, they will lose the Dem
ocratic renernde8: which means, of
course, that Cessna, Dougherty, tho
Forneys, etcetera, are to be held only
by a hook baited with wool. The
following is a specimen of the Jtcpub
Heart's reasoning:
"The Republicans of the Xorth will not permit
the suffrage question to be pushed aside. They
eonoile.r it vital, and mean to keep it before the
people until equal and intelligent tuffrago i es
tablished in tho Stlo. The next movement will
be for an amendment to the Constitution toappor-
tion
n-prwniaiive to 1'ongres aaciMing tu the
voting population, uni this will certainly prevail,
becaum-etervbody te. tlmtlb. ru is no other means
of equalising representafn ,( preventing the
Southern states from holdm forge exeesi of
power in the Oovornment. No l-riy will dare
oppose this amendment, and its adoption nj rrf.
ere nee to the Htatcs would be one of the lirst aets
of the next Congress. This amendment adopted,
we shall oon see a party organised in the South!
ern Hlate for ctjiiul suffrage, and it will he very
likely to be carried In ome of them, At all events,
the Republican party in the free plates must make
an efiort for equal suffrage in their respective
States, or go under. Nulling clso cn lave them.
If they fail to do it, they will lose the support of
the men who are Republican from principle. The
Democrats who have acted with them, and given
ihem iucccss in sumo State., will return to tlioir
old party aflilit'ions when ft Is thus made to ap
pear that theie is no radical difference between
th two partiis and tho office-seeking and com
promising clrnn-nt alnno will be lifl u cou.'titute
what was once the dominsA pnrtv."
Wlist srol4 K onnsprinonce if
a Democratic organ or leader should
make declarations of such a nature
proposing to vitiate the ballot-box by
bringing into citizenship and full po
litical power, tho most miserably ab
ject, ignorant and soulless class of be
ings in the land, and that, too, merely
to socuro tho power and plunder of
tho Government for tho ofllco seekers
of tho Democratic party? Would
not tho peoplo, with ono accord, exo
crato the audacious Democratic pro
poser ? Would ho not bo hissed out
of every community as a base, unnat
ural, subsidized wretch, who was un
worthy of tho confidence, respect or
support of any white man high or
ow, rich or poor r Jut, "loyal
presses and "loyal" office-holders en
joy special privileges, it seems. They
can propose and disposo to suit them
selves, and a mean-spirited, craven-
hearted pcoplo applaud and acquiesce.
In one slmpo or another the views
above quoted havo been circulated
broadcast by tho Republican press of
tli.s and other blatee. In fact, all the
radical ntlcrances of tho New Eng
land radicals nro transferred to the
columns of tho Republican press of
Pennsylvania, to exerciso their balo
ful influence, either with or without
editorial comment and endorsement.
Tho foregoing quotation was taken
from ono of vhem without 'nolo or
comment." Of course it was endorsed,
and, of course tho whole Republican
party of this Stato will adopt that as
its last desperate resort to retain its
supremacy. -2'atrint f? Union,

NEW
POLITICAL PREACHING.
If it were possible for the angelic
throng who havo scaled their devo
tion to tho religion of the Savior of
of man by their lives, to look down
upon this world, and see tho fallen
condition of that church for which
they preached, prayed and suffered, it
would cnrtainly fill thu mind of that
heavenly host with wonder, sorrow
and pity. We sec men who pretend
to be called to preach tho everlasting
gospel of Jesus Christ ;o a dying
world, desecrating the Lord's day by
an appeal to tho peoplo for their sup
port of certain measures and men to
further the causo of political parties,
or the maintenance of certain politi
cal measures. This chiss of preachers
havo brought discredit upon the
church, strengthened infidelity, and
added many to tho kingdom of the
Evil One. We do not pretend to say a
preacher should havo no political
opinions, by any means ; they Jiko
other men, aro entitled to their own
views ; but to dress themselves in tho
holy garb of religion, and then stoop

eknow that manv fear to act

to call it religion.

THE RICH MAN'S COUNTRY.
The Dubuquo (Iowa) Herald Las
w-ell said that this has got to be a
rich man's country, where legislation
is wholly in his favor, and against tbo
poor man. JS'ever was a greater piece
of rascality committed than has been
done in the case of the bonds which
are now in the market. They aro
exempt from taxation, and a good in

wo see a great demand for them by
