The stars on the earth are showering Their wealth of amber light, In the mystical beauty of summer Sleeps the. calm and regnant night. I lie in the midnight's passionate gleam 'Neath the vault of the August skies, And my heart is lapt in a tender dream Of the light of remembered eyes. Sweet eyes, their light enshriniug Bright under a brow so fair— Snow pure, and over it twining A wonder of waving hair; And a face all fair, from the rare brown curl To the smile of the delicate mouth, Sweet with the beauty of rose and pearl, And warm with the soul of the South. And I bow to the proud suggestion Of the grand and regal air, As if a diadem's lustre Still slept on the clustering hair; For in the dark eyes' tender fir. Dwells a shadow of still command, C.ught from eyes of a stern, sad sire, A ruler in the land. Perplexed, I pause in my dreaming, . To number the loss and gain, And wonder if Love repays me For love's delicious pain ; And I pray to the stars that the joy be mine To kindle her cheeks' soft flush, And I ask of the stars if her eyes ever shine, Love-dim, in the evening's hush. Peace, thou resisting spirit! Strive not so so wildly above ! Do the flowers that gaze up to heaven, Ever covet the pale moon's love? Enough for tne to lie in the gleam Of the passionate midnight skies, To tenderly muse in a hopeless dream Of the light of remembered eyes. JOHN SMITH An arrant coquette was Caroline Faulk ner, with the bluest, merriest eyes, the reddest, poutingest lips ; the prettiest, bewitching ways that ever made sad havoc with unguarded hearts; and those proved to have been many, in the town of Read ingville—all the way from the squire's son and the young student minister, down to the young man who helped her father on his farm. All the way down—that is, if hearts are measured by the social standing of their possessors. It was a convincing proof of the wisdom of the victims, at least, the care they took, when their hearts were irrevo cably in the little coquette's power, to fence round the place where there had been a high, impenetrable wall of resolves and avoidances and coldness. It is doubtful if they answered any good pur pose, however, except to keep out the truant things, in case they had the power to get back. As for the young lady herself, it is uncertain whether she possessed any such troublesome appendage of her own. Per haps that was the reason she wanted so many of other people's. Most certainly, if she had a heart, it had never yet caused her any trouble, or would she not have been more considerate of others Therefore Caroline Faulkner, in the quiet town of Readingville, managed to enjoy herself tolerably well, sporting with men's hearts as a child ivith its toys, thinking these dangerous playthings made for her especial breaking and tormenting, and rejoicing in every new victim to her fascinations. And when the Squire's proud son, resentful at her teasing and caprices, incautiously declared that he would rather marry any girl within twenty miles, were she ever so poor and ignorant, than Carry Faulkner, and it was repeated to her, (for who ever knew words of that kind to remain idle ?) how the elf's eyes sparkled with glee, and what silvery laughter issued from her sweet mouth as she arched her white neck and threw back her auburn curls. Thkt evening, at singing school, she smiled so sweetly on the young squire, and looked so approachable, that he was almost beside himself with hope and joy ; and when he walked home with her, which she graciously permitted him to do, he was foolish enough to ask her to marry him.— And then how innocently surprised naughty Carry looked as she said : 6 I am very sorry, Mr. Hubert, I thought you understood me when I told you I could be no more than a friend to you." Mr: Hubert Clayton—that was his name —turned rather quickly on his heel and went away. Carry went tripping along the pink bordered path to the house, stopped on the wood-vine covered piazza, and looked at the sky. The door opened behind her, and a young man appeared. He said, very coolly, Hurry in, Miss Faulkner, I am going to lock the door.' • I don't oare about hurrying, thank you. It is a splendid evening. lam looking at the stars. See how bright they are.' Perhaps Miss Caroline was not unwilling to say no' again that evening ; for she looked up very shiilingly in the young man's face, though he was only her father's man,' and one could see, even by the moonlight, that he was dressed very plain ly ; and rejoiced, besides, in the romantic name of John Smith. He must have been very cold or stupid or something, for he answered dryly I cannot wait for you to look at the moon ; I am too sleepy. You can lock the door when you get ready to come in,' and walked up stairs. Too sleepy to gaze at the moon with a beautiful girl for company ! No wonder Carry was indignant, She did not stay out much longer, star-gazing, but came in directly, and turned the key rather ener getically; and two or three times the word bear ' escaped her lips. To whom, or what did she refer? Perhaps her mind wandered to menageries in general, and something or somebody had suggested bears in particular. Be that as it may, it was the burden of her song until she fell asleep. Mr. John Smith had been Mr. Faulk ner's help' but a short time. His coming there was accidental. Some weeks since a very plainly dressed young man had called at the door to re quest a glass of water. While little Charley Faulkner was gone to the well to get some fresh and cool water, and the man was waiting in the hall, Mr. Faulkner name in quite troubled, and told his wife and daughter that the hired man he had engaged had disappointed him, and he did not know what in the world he could do just now. Haying time, too, he did not know of any other person he could employ. The stranger's eye twinkled as he heard; and, turning to the farmer, modestly offered his services, adding that he was not very strong yet, having only lately recovered from a fever ; but should be very glad to do what he was able for his board. His eyes wandered admiringly to the farmer's daughter while he spoke. His offer was eagerly accepted by the farmer; though, but for his need, he would have looked a little doubtfully at his slen der figure and delicate hands. Why, father,' whispered the more care ful wife, he may be a thief, or a State prison convict.' Nonsense, wife ! Just trust me for the reading of countenance. He is as honest a fellow as ever breathed,' said the farmer, decidedly. And .so the stranger stayed. It was somewhat remarkable that an exception to all preceding rules was made in his favor; and that he sat daily at the same table with Mr. and Mrs. Faulkner, Carry, and her little brother. It must be confessed, however, that Mrs. Faulkner had some scruples, at first, about breaking old customs, and establishing a precedent which might be productive of trouble with other help, hereafter ; but she was overruled by Carry and her father. It is uncertain if Mr. Smith duly appreci ated the honor of this exception in his favor, possibly not expecting any other course of proceeding. Most certainly, he seemed perfectly at home where he was placed. Genial, witty, good natured, he was soon a great favorite with the family. He and Carry became good friends, but, in spite of the fascinations of the latter, he had not, thus far, exhibited, in the least, serious symptoms of any affection of the heart. Miss Carry began to feel injured at his ap parent insensibility. At the little merry meetings in. the neighborhood, it seemed a matter of no interest to him whom she coqueted with, so long as there were other pretty girls present. And in spite of his menial situa tion, the prettiest and the best looked very kindly upon him, for he was gay and hand some, and soon a party was not thought complete unless he was present. The squire's son turned a very cold shoulder to him, however; and when he wet him he would look as if he did not see anybody, though he had been introduced any number of times. But it was all the same to Mr. Smith, and he made himself vastly agreeable ; told stories and proposed all sorts of new games they had never so much as heard of; and the young ladies laughed and thought them charming, while the young squire frowned, and muttered impudent !' As for Carry, sometimes she laughed the merriest of all, and sometimes she didn't. She was governed by all sorts of caprices in this respect. It was the opinion of the young people generally, including of late, Mr. Smith also, that Caroline Faulkner, in her heart, if she had any, liked the young squire as well, if not better, than any other gentleman, and would eventu ally listen favorably to his suit ; for he was rich and good looking, and many of the richest girls in the country would have jumped at the chance of marrying him— and Carry would have only a moderate portion. He seemed in better favor than ever previously. Of late a coldness had existed between Carry and Mr. Smith, perhaps arising from the fact that he had one day invited her to accompany him to a pic-nic. Her heart was in a flutter of pleasure as she assented ; for it was the first time he had ever given an invitation to accompany him. Just before the time for starting, the squire drove around in a new buggy for her. An unfortunate caprice seized her to go with him, just to see,' she said, if Mr. John Smith would mind.' Mr. Smith didn't mind, or didn't seem to, and said it was quite as well. He was glad she pleased herself, and appeared quite as usual at the pic-nic ; at which the inconstant girl was sadly disappointed— for she had hoped he would mind a good deal. But, somehow, after this she felt a change ; and he had never invited her to go anywhere since—though once, when she was half dying to go, and the squire, offended at something, kept provokingly aloof, Mr. Smith had the coolness and im pudence to go off alone, and leave her mo ping at home. Could she ever forgive him—the strange, incomprehensible man ? One morning, quite early, the young squire went, as if accidentally, to the place where the worthy old farmer was at work ; he praised his farm and crops, and then carelessly said : Mr. Smith is quite a valuable help ; is he not ? By the way, where did you pick him up 1' The good farmer, in the honesty of his heart, related the whole circumstance, not omitting his wife's fears and hesitation, and exulted in the proof of his own sharp-sight edness, adding : I can tell a rogue as far as I can see him. Smith has been with me now over two months, and he seems as dear to me as my own son. I have to be somewhat careful of him, for you see he is rather delicate, and I shouldn't think had been used to much hard work.' You say he came from up above ? The State Prison is in that direction, is it not?' asked the squire in a peculiar tone. But it was all to no purpose. The far_ mer was too honest himself to understand more than people actually said, so he an swered cheerily : Certainly ; is is only about twenty miles from here. You ought to know that yourself, squire.' oho ! I have you now, my fine, bold fellow !' he said to himself. At a social party, two evenings after, to which Caroline and Mr. Smith had been invited some days previously, the latter did not go till quite late. It appeared to him on his entrance, that his greetings were received coldly and constrainedly, but he concluded it was all imagination. When he sought a partner for the set they were forming, singularly enough, the young ladies were all engaged. This had not happened to his experience before, and he was naturally somewhat perplexed. The next he asked of a pretty, blooming girl, who had always been for ward in claiming his attention. Engaged, also.' The next, then 7' he asked laughingly, but looking keenly at her, perceiving some thing was wrong. g I am very sorry; but I am engaged " THAT COUNTRY IS T.HZ HOST PRCNIIIIROUR WHZRZ LABOR 00YRAIIIDS Till ORRATINT BZWARD."--BUOHARAN. LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1861. all the evening, when I am not too tired to damee !' she replied blushing. You are fortunate, madame ;' and, bowing coldly, he left her. The next lady it was the same, and the next one, also. He began to be greatly amused. c Which of my evil deeds has now come to light Just then Caroline whispered, as she passed him : , Better ask Lu Emmons, Mr. Smith, for this dance. Consider me your partner for the next, if you please.' She spoke rapidly, and somewhat excit edly. He looked at her in surprise. This proud, exacting girl, who expected her acceptance of an invitation to be regarded as an honor, actually inviting herself to dance with him ! She looked-pale, with a bright red spot on either cheek, while her eyes flashed like diamonds. He thanked her, and proceeded in search of Miss Emmons—a modest, gentle girl, who was disengaged, as her friend had stated. In his delay in finding a partner, they were among the last to take their places. There was one couple needed (opposite the squire and his partner) to make the sets com plete. • No sooner did the squire observe them, than he whispered to his partner, and they moved away to a seat. The couples at the side followed them, and Mr. Smith and his partner were left alone. The sweet girl beside him looked ready to faint. What . does this mean ?' said Mr. Smith his eyes flashing lightning, and his tones full of ire. Excusing himself to Miss Emmons, he strode with hasty step towards the place where Mr. Clayton was toying with his partner's fan. Before he could reach him a small hand was laid gently on his arm. He paused. It was Caroline. She looked up beseechingly into his face, her lips quivering : Oh, Mr. Smith ! don't have any scenes here, pray don't. Let it pass for to-night, please. It's only a mistake, which I will explain when I get home. The set is filled now, and waiting for you. Come !' Again Mr. Smith looked at her with sur prise. What mystery was here 2 What ever it was, he thanked fortune for it, since by it he learned that this young girl's nature, frivolous and careless as it seemed had depth of thought and earnestness. Mr. Smith danced nearly all the evening with nearly every maiden present. He was thoroughly roused, and took a perverse pleasure in compelling the fair ones to dance with him. His irony was so keen, and yet so 'delicate, the simple country maidens could not parry it. Besides, their consciences troubled them, knowing how eager they had always heretofore been to receive his attentions. When the company were preparing to depart, Mr. Clayton sought Miss Faulknei, in order to escort her home. She declined haughtily, assignidg no reason. 'This conduct is strange, unaccountable, Miss Faulkner. Some malicious persons might charge it to an interest, to say the lent, which you would not be very proud or willing to own.' She gazed at him steadily a moment, never faltering. He quailed beneath that calm glance. . She moved away, joining her friend, Mir Emmons, and her brother. We suppose you know, through your daughter, that John Smith is a suspected man, suspected of being an escaped con vict from the State prison ; and also, of setting fire to the house that was burned down a week ago.' Caroline is too sensible to tell me any such nonsense,' said the farmer bluntly. 4 Very singular ; for my son informed her of the reports the first thing,' returned Squire Clayton. And pray where did your son pick up such lies V Never mind. It is a long story, and true, without doubt. We will take your deposition without any more delay.' Take the devil, rather !' thundered the farmer, his pent up wrath exploding. He was an obstinate and irascible man when excited, which fact was not suspected from his usual good nature. In vain they talked, one after the other, and then altogether, to make him listen to reason ; for Mr. Faulkner was a popular and some what prominent man in the town, and his opinion had weight. It was of no use. They were all a pack of fools he said, to listen to such stuff— good fellow as ever breathed.' Mr. Faulkner conferred with his wife and daughter after they had gone. He was firm in his belief of the young man's innocence. So was his wife. So was Caroline. The little bible on his table presented to John, by his affectionate mother, and the delicate book-mark whose daily progress over the holy leaves the young girl noted, would alone have been sufficient to prove his innocence to her, had she been disposed to doubt it. Credulous Carry ! All three agreed it was unnecessary at present to inform him of the rumors rife. Mr. Smith might have noticed the red eyes of Caroline and her mother, the nerv ous and abrupt manner of Mr. Faulkner at tea-time; but-if he did, he made no re mark. Itawas a rainy, pitch-dark night. He retired to rest early. It was between eleven and twelve o'clock, when he was awakened by a light tap at his -door. He did not answer. Another tap. Who is it 1' Caroline,' answered an agitated voice. Rise and dress quickly. Don't light the lamp ! don't—pray, don't make the least noise, and come out here to me. I have something to tell you' Wondering, he did as required ; and on opening the door, found Caroline, who motioned him to the little sitting room op posite his room. She shut the door softly and put down the shaded lamp from her trembling hand. As she turned toward him, he saw that the bewildering eyes, usually do full of light and mischief, were heavy and red with weeping, her face fear fully pale, while she trembled violently. 0, Mr. Smith !' she whispered, in a voice choked with sobs. ' There are men all around the house to prevent your escape, and to-morrow morning some offi cers from the prison are coming to take you. I heard it all from my window. 0, Mr. Smith ! do you know what dreadful things they suspect you of They say that you are an escaped convict from the State prison, and an incendiary besides !' and she oried bitterly. He did not look like a very hardened criminal, as he good before her with moved face. Does Caroline believe these dreadful things ? he asked in a low voice. Oh no, no ! I know it cannot be so,' she answered, fervently and quickly. have awoke you so that you can escape to night. See ! here is a suit of father's— it will serve fora disguise. 0, Mr. Smith ! hurry quick—do it may be too late. While you are gone I will keep watch. The north side of the house is the least guarded. Here is a pistol—you may need it to defend yourself,, and—and " she hesitated and paused a moment. Forgive me, bat one does not always chance to be provided for a long journey, and I thought perhaps it might be useful.' And she timidly placed a well filled purse in his hand. She had spoken rapidly and impetuously. You are a brave, thoughtful girl ! And you feel all this anxiety, for unworthy me, Caroline And he took the two little trembling hands within his own, and drew her to the sofa. 'You are pale, you tremble, and on my account. Did I understand you aright--that you did not believe the char es against me ?' Oh, no ! nor father or mother. But oh ! hurry, Mr. Smith ! If it should be too late ! Oh, it would kill me !' There was a tender tremulous motion round the young man's lips. 'Why should you care, Caroline? Hubert Clayton instigated it; he is a dear friend of yours.' 6 Oh, I hate him ! she cried passionately. I thought you liked him, Caroline. Is there any one dearer to you 1' She hid her face in her hand, when the clatter of a horse's hoofs was heard under the window, and she started up in the wildest alarm. Oh, go! go ! if you can ! But it is too late ! Oh, what, what shall I do 'P One moment, Caroline. If I go away now, when my innocence is proved,. as it soon will be, may I come again and claim this dear hand as mine I Will Caroline, whom I have long loved, give herself to me ? For, that she would make a true, courageous, loving little wife, the events of this night have proved. Consider well, my darling. Hubert Clayton is rich. You must have already suspected my poverty.' I love only you. I will be yonr's when you come. Only go.' Not till I have first soothed my fright ened dove. Be calm, darling ; I shall not leave you. Do you not see it would be impossible to escape now, unseen ; while the very fact of attempting it would imply, guilt. Besides I have documents with me which will easily prove my innocence. What--trembling yet I Why, you forgot the pistol, love. What a brave little heroine this is. Little temptress, too, to place such a wicked little article as this in my hand, which if its contents had hap pened to lodge in some poor unfortunate's brains, would have brought me up on a rather more serious charge than this. Caroline, dearest, sweetest, wisest, best, that pale face and those heavy eyes go to my heart. Will you not trust me, love, when 1 say that I am not in the least danger—a short detention at the utmost— and go to your room and try to sleep I I will keep watch outside your door, and if there is the least alarm, 1 promise to speak to you. Will you not trust me ? You know some day—perhaps nearer than you now imagine—l am to have the whole charge of you. Good night, my Caroline, my precious one.' The next morning, Farmer Faulkner rubbed his eyes as if doubting his vision, when about half a dozen men, accompanied by two officers, entered. They claimed, in behalf of the Commonwealth, one John Smith as their prisoner. He presented himself, and stood calm and collected, while they awaited the appearance of the high sheriff and the warden of the prison. They came directly. The former spoke : Good morning, gentlemen ; I under stand you have an escaped convict—a hardened criminal in detention. Your zeal merits praise. Ala, John ! you here? Glad to see you. Father and mother well, eh ?' he said, in the familiar tone of friend ship, and shaking Mr. Smith's hand heartily. ' But I must to business first, then I shall take you home with me. By the way, where is the fellow? Bring him hither.' g I await your commands,' said Mr. Smith, with a demure smile. The sheriff stood thunderstruck, then burst into a hearty laugh. You don't mean to say that I have got out of a comfortable bed and come all this distance to convict the son of an old friend whom I have known from his cradle? That's rich ! I wonder what the Governor would say, to hear that his son is an es caped convict ? Ha ! ha ! ha ! What mad prank have you been playing, John?! When you left us a few months ago, I thought you were going immediately to open an office in the city.' , During that speech, the accusers looked at each other in dismay; and at the con clusion, one after another crept away in dire confusion. A chaise was seen dash ing furiously down the hill. It contained the old and young squire. The family were left alone, with the exception of the high sheriff. The good farmer looked triumphant and excited, as he brought down his heavy fist upon the table, exclaiming : told them so, the rascals !' The sheriff shook the honest farmer's hands heartily. By the way, you young scapegrace, you haven't explained. What have you been about, to raise such a commotion 1 The talented John Smith Coleridge, only son of his Excellency, the Governor of this Commonwealth, shouldn't be commit ting mad exploits.' Only doing, sir, what Jacob did for- Rachel—serving for my bride.' returned the young man, leading forward the now happy and smiling Caroline. Whew ! Well, really, John, you might have improved, your time worse. I ap prove of a young man's losing his heart, provided he will lose it to one who will take good care of it. 'this young lady will take faithful care, or else I am no judge of countenances,' looking keenly into the modest, ingenuous face of Caroline. 'You have my best wishes, John, and this young lady, alio, for your future wedded happiness. And these wishes have been more suc cessfully realized thin many have been, uttered under similar circumstances. ler When a woman arrays herself a la Bloomer, it may be said that she pants for notoriety. GOY. CHUM MESSAGE. EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, Harrisburg, April 30, 1861. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonmealth of Pennsylvania: GENTLEMEN:—The present unparalleled exigency in the affairs of our country, has induced me to call you together at this time. With an actual and armed rebel lion in some of the States of the Union, momentous questions have been thrust up on us which call for your deliberation, and that you should devise means by legis lation for the maintenance.of the authori ty of the General Government, the honor and dignity of our State, the protection of our citizens, and the early establishment of peace and order throughout the land. On the day of my induction into the Executive office, I took occasion to utter the following sentiments : "No one who knows the history of Pennsylvania, and understands the opin ions and feelings of her people, can justly charge us with hostility to our brethren of other states. We regard them as friends and fellow countrymen, in whose welfare we feel a kindred interest; and we recog nize, in their brciadest extent, all our con stitutional obligations to them. These we are ready and willing to observe generous ly and fraternally in their letter and spirit, with unswerving fidelity. " Ours is a National Government. It has within the sphere of its action all the at tributes of sovereignty, and among these are the right and duty of self-preservation. It is based upon a compact to which all the people of the United States are par ties. It is the result of mutual conces sions, which were made for the purpose of securing reciprocal benefits. It acts di rectly on the people, and they owe it a personal allegiance. No part of the peo ple, no State nor combination of States, can voluntarily secede from the Union, nor absolVe themselves from their obliga tions to it. To permit a State to withdraw at pleasure from the Union, without the consent of the rest, is to confess that our Government is a failure. Pennsylvania can never acquiesce in such a conspiracy, nor assent to a doctrine which involves the destruction of the Government. If the Government is to exist, all the revire ments of the Constitution must be obeyed; and it must have power adequate to the enforcement of the supreme law of the land in every State. It is the first' duty of the national authorities to stay the pro gress of anarchy and enforce the laws, and Pennsylvania, with a united people, will give them an honest, faithful and active support. The people mean to preserve the integrity of the national Union at ev ery hazard." It could scarcely have been anticipa ted at that time, that we should so soon be called upon for the practical application of these truths in connection with their support and defence by the strong arm of military power. The unexampled promptness and enthu siasm.with which Pennsylvania and the other 'ltyal States have responded to the call of the President, and the entire unan imity with which our people demand that the integrity of the Government shall be preserved, illustrate the duty of the sev eral State and National Governments with a distinctness that cannot be disregarded. The slaughter of Northern troops in the city of Baltimore, for the pretended offence of marching, at the call of the Federal Government, peaceably, over soil admit tedly in the Union, and with the ultimate object of defending our common Capi tal against an armed and rebellious inva sion,, together with the obstruction of our Pennsylvania troops when despatched on the same patriotic mission, impose new du ties and responsibilities upon our State ad ministration. At last advices the General Government had military possession of the route to Washington through Annapolis ; but the transit of troops had been greatly endangered and delayed, and the safety of Washington itself imminently threatened. This cannot be submitted to. Whether Maryland may profess to be loyal to the Union or otherwise, there can be permit ted no hostile soil, no obstructed thor oughfare, between the States that undoubt edly are loyal and their national seat of government. There is reason to hope that the route through Baltimore may be no longer closed against the peaceable pas sage of our people armed and in the service of the Federal Government. But we must be fully assured of this, and have the un interrupted enjoyment of a passage to the Capital by any and every route essential to the purposes of the Government. This must be attained, peaceably if possible, but by force of arms if not accorded. The time is past for temporizing or for bearing with this rebellion ; the most causeless in history. The North has not invaded, nor has she sought to invade a single guarantied right of the South. On the contrary all political parties and all administrations have fully recognized the binding force of every provision of the great compact between the States, and re gardless of our views of State policy, our people have respected them. To predicate a rebellion, therefore, upon any alleged wrong inflicted or sought to be inflicted upon the South is to offer falsehood as an apology for treason. So will the civilized world and history judge this mad effort to overthrow the most beneficent structure of human government ever devised by man. The leaders of the rebellion in the Cot ton States, which has resulted in the estab lishment of a provisional organization as suming to discharge all the functions of governmental power, have mistaken the forbearance of the General Government ; they have accepted a fraternal indulgence as an evidence of weakness, and have in sanely looked to a united South, and a divided North to give success to the wild ambition that has led to the seizure of our national arsenals and arms, the investment and bombardment of our forts, the plun dering of our mints, has invited piracy upon our commerce, and now aims at the possession of the National Capital. The insurrection must be met by force of arms; and to re-establish the government upon an enduring basis by asserting its entire supremacy, to re-possess the forts and other government property so unlawfully seized and held; to:ensure personal free dom and safety to the people and com merce of the Union in every section, the people of the loyal States demand, as with one voice, and will contend for, as with one heart; and a quarter of a million of Pennsylvania's sons will answer the call to arms, if need be, to wrest us from a reign of anarchy and plunder, and secure for themselves and their children, for ages to come, the perpetuity of this gov ernment and its beneficent institutions. Entertaining these views and anticipating that more troops would be required than the number originally called for, I continued to receive companies until we had raised twen ty-three regiments in Pennsylvania, all of which have been mustered into the service of the United States. In this anticipation I was not mistaken. On Saturday last, an addition al requisition was made upon me for twenty five regiments of infantry and one regiment of cavalry ; and there have been already more companies tendered than will make up the entire complement. Before the regiments could be clothed, three of them were ordered by the National Government to proceed from this point to Philadelphia. I cannot too highly commend the patriotism and devotion of the men who, at a moment's warning, and without any pre paration, obeyed the order. Three of the regiments, under similar circumstances, by direction of, and accompanied by officers of the United States Army, were transported to Cockeysville, near Baltimore, at which point they remained for two days, and until by di rections of the General Government they were ordered back and went into camp at York, where there are now five regiments. Three regiments mustered into service are now en camped at Chambersburg, under orders from the General Government ; and five regiments are now in camp.in this place, and seven have been organized and mustered into service at Philadelphia. The regiments ati this place are still sup plied by the Commissary Department of the State. Their quarters are as comfortable as could be expected, their supply of provisions abundant, and, under the instruction of com petent officers, they are rapidly improving in military knowledge and skill. I have made arrangements to clothe all our regi ments with the utmost dispatch consistent with a proper economy, and am most happy to say that before the close of the present week all our people now under arms will be abundantly supplied with good and appro-. priate uniforms, blankets and other clothing. Four hundred and sixty of our volunteers, the first to reach Washington from any of the States, are now at that city ; these are now provided for by the General Government ; but I design to send them clothing at the earliest possible opportunity. I am glad to be able to state that these men, in their progress to the National Capital, received no bodily injury, although they were subjected to insult in the city of Baltimore, such as should not have been -offered to any law—abiding citizen, much less to loyal men, who, at the call of the President, had promptly left their own State in the performance of the highest duty and in the service of their country. A large body of unarmed men, who were not at the time organized as a portion of the militia of this Commonwealth, under the command of officers without commissions, attempted under the call of the National Gov ernment, as I understand, to reach Washing ton, and were assaulted by armed men in the city of Baltimore ; many of their number were seriously wounded, and four were killed.— The larger part of this body returned directly to Philadelphia ; but many of them were for cibly detained in Baltimore ; some of them were thrust into prison, and others have not yet reached their homes. I have the honor to say that the officers and men behaved with the utmost gallantry. This body is now organized into a regiment, and the officers are commissioned ; they have been accepted into the service, and wilrgo to Washington by any route indicated by the Federal Government. . I have established a camp at Pittsburg, at which the troops from Western Pennsylva nia will be mustered into service, and orga nized and disciplined by skillful and experi enced officers. I communicate to you with great satisfac tion, the fact that the banks of the Common wealth have voluntarily tendered any amount of money that may be necessary for the com mon defence and general welfare of the Sttite and the nation in this emergency; and the temporary loan of five hundred thousand dol lars authorized by the Act of the General As sembly of the 17th April, 1861, was prompt ly taken at par. The money is not yet ex hausted; as it has been impossible to have the accounts properly audited and settled with the accounting and paying officers of the government as required by law, an .account of this expenditure cannot now be furnished. The Auditor General and State Treasurer have established a system of settlement and payment, of which I entirely approve, that provides amply for the protection of the State, and to which all parties having claims will be obliged to conform. A much larger sum will be required than has been distinctly appropriated; but I could not receive nor make engagements for money without authority of law, and I have called you together, not only to provide for a complete re-organization of the militia of the State, but also, that you may give me authority to pledge the faith of the Common wealth to borrow such sums of money as you may, in your discretion, deem necessary for these extraordinary requirements. It is impossible to predict the lengths to which "the madness that rules the hour" in the rebellious States shall lead us, or when the calamities which threaten our hitherto happy country shall terminate. We know that many of our people have already left the State in the service of the General Govern ment, and that many more must follow. We have a long line of border on States serious ly disaffected, which should be protected.— To furnish ready support to those who have gone out, and to protect our borders, we should have a well regulated military force. I, therefore, recommend the immediate or ganization, disciplining and arming of at least fifteen regiments of cavalry and infan try, exclusive of those called into the service of the United States ; as we have already ample warning of the necessity of being pre pared for any sudden exigency that may arise. I cannot too much impress this upon you. I cannot refrain from alluding to the gen erous manner in which the people of all parts of the State have, from their private means, provided for the families of those of our citi zens who are now under arms. In many parts of the Commonwealth, Grand Juries, and Courts and municipal corporations have recommended the appropriations of moneys from their public funds, for the same com mendable purpose. I would recommend the passage of an Act legalizing and authorizing such appropriations and expenditures. It may be expected that, in the present de rangement of trade and commerce, and the withdrawal of so much industry froni its or dinary and productive channels, the selling value of property generally will be deprecia ted, and a large portion of our citizens de prived of the ordinary means of meeting en gagements. Although much forbearance may be expected from a generous and magnani mous people, yet I feel it my duty to recom , mend the passage of a judicious law to pre vent the sacrifice of property by forced sales in the collection of debts. You meet together at this special session, surrounded by circumstances involving the most solemn responsibilities ; the recollec tions of •the glories of the past, the reflections of the gloomy present, and the uncertainty of the future, all alike call upon you to dis charge your duty in a spirit of patriotic cour age, comprehensive wisdom and firm resolu tion. Never in the history of• our peace-lov ing Commonwealth have the hearts of our people been so stirred in their depths as at the present moment. And, I feel that I need hardly say to you, that in the peiformance of your duties on this occasion, and in provid ing the ways and means for the maintenance of our country's glory and our integrity as a natiofi, you should be inspired by feelings of self-sacrifice, kindred to those which animate the brave men who have devoted their lives to the perils of the battle-field, in defence of our nation's flag. Gentlemen, I place the honor of the State in your hands. And I pray that the Al mighty God, who protected our fathers in their efforts to establish this our great con stitutional liberty—who has controlled the growth of civilization and christianity in our midst, may not now forsake us; that He may watch over your counsels, and may, in His providence, lead those who have left the path of duty, and are acting in open rebellion to 'the government, back again to perfect loyal ty, and restore peace, harmony, and fraterni ty to our distracted country.

What a burning shame ! How beautiful is Spring Its shadows bright, its clear, untroubled streams, Which dance and glitter in the sun's soft ray, Unfettered.as they glide; Sweet murmurs rise softly from their deeps, And steal up to heaven, An anthem glad to Him Whose hand did set them free, And sent them alining, singing on their way How beautiful is Spring ! How beautiful is Spring! The south wind oomes, and floating over Earth With gentlest breath he woos her to awake And don her festal robe; His balmiestaighs and tenderest whispering, Upon her alumb'ring brow He presseth kisses soft, Till she doth start and waken into life: How beautiful is Spring! With girdle bright, she earcleth the broad earth, Her valleys fair, her meadows blithe and fresh, Where infant lambkins play; O'er ocean's billowy depths she spanneth, With glowing beauteous sone, Till brightly mirrored there, , And clasping the proud hills— Their mow-clad brows in tribute fond they bare How beautiful is Spring! How beautiful is Spring! Across yon calm and azure-smiling Heaven The fleecy clouds to sweep their pinions bright, Above earth's laughing bowers; Behold, their misty, silv'ry wings they furl— And stay their zsyslio flight; They gaze on all beneath, Till feeling's tide doth rush, And they do weep on earth bright tears of joy How beautiful is Spring! How beautiful is Spring! To the far-stretching breezy woodlands wild, The warbling songsters wheel in airy dance, To rear their mossy homes; Their melodies of love they sweetly trill Unto the list'ning groves, Who wave their tresses bright, And gladsome welcome give Unto the joyous wanderers returned: flow beautiful is Spring! How beautiful is Spring! The bright-lipped flowers are murmuring. low; With blushing pride the queenly rose oonfesseth To all her vassals gay; The lily pale cloth bow and whisper it Unto the violets meek, Which they do sweetly breathe To the caressing winds, And earth's myriad voices softly echo, How beautiful is Spring ! . PROFESSION AND PRACTIOE.—Two kinds of witnesses are often encountered in courts of justice—the un-willing witness, and the too-willing witness. Here is one whoidoesn't seem to oome under either category. The prosecuting attorney thus addresses him : ' Mr. Parks, state, if you please, whether the defendant, to your knowledge, has ever followed any profession.' • He has been a professor ever since I have known him.' 6 Ah ! a professor of what P A professor of religion.' You don't understand me, Mr. Parks What does he do P W ell, generally what he pleases.' Tell the jury, Mr. Parks, what the defendant follows.' c Gentlemen of the jury, the defendant follows the crowd, when they go to drink.' Mr. Parks, this kind of prevarication will not do here. Now, state, sir, how the defendant supports himself.' c I saw him last night supporting him self against a lamp-post.' c May it please your honor, this witness shows an evident iisposition to trifle with this honorable court.' 6 Mr. Parks,' said the Court, 'state if you know anything about it, what the defendant's occupation is. The Court, let me say, has no idea that you mean to be disingenuous.' Occupation, did you say sir 3 , 4 Occupation,' answered the judge. ' Yes,' echoed the counsel. What was his occupation P If I. am not mistaken, he occupies a garret somewhere in town.' 6 That's all, Mr. Parks. I understand you to say that the'defendant is a profes sor of religion 3' He Does his practice correspond with his profession V I never heard of any correspondence, or letters of any kind.' You said something about his propen sity for drinking. Does he drink hard I No, sir, I think he drinks as easy as any man 1 ever saw.' 4 One more question, Mr. Parks ; you have known this defendant a long time. What are his habits—loose or otherwise V The one he has got on now, I think, is rather tight under the arms ; it is cer tainly too short-waisted for the fashion.' Yon can take your seat, Mr. Parks.' The following remarks by Hannah Moore so forcibly express our views on the subject, that we give them in lieu of anything further from ourself : When a man of sense comes to marry, it is a companion whom he wants, not an artist. It is not merely a creature who can paint and play, sing and dance—it is a being who can comfort and counsel him —one who can reason and reflect; and feel and judge, and discourse and discriminate —one who can assist him in his affairs, lighten his sorrows,purify his joys,strength en his principles and educate his chil dren. She is the woman who is fit for - a mother and a mistress of a family. A woman of the former description may occasionally figure in drawing roores,''and attract the admiration of the compatty but she is entirely unfit for a helpmate to a man, or to train up a child in the way it should go.'
