BY LEONA nATES.

Her glowing beauty fromrthe gaze of Night.
Soft, lazy breezes float from off the hills
To lull the flowers to Sleep.
Over my face,.
lihe touch of woman’s fingers; stealb the air,
Soothing my weary brain, and bringing sweet
forgetfulness of sorrow, care, and pain.
The shadows deepen, and t%n,distant woods

The twining bonghsand dark, green<ffoliage
Hade cool retreats inviting : to,repose.
Bright visioivs.rite before me—fairy forms
Too beanUful'for nymphs, whose

Are twined wltli fragrant/bloßSoms—water sprites
float from the spray of crystal fonnte, and then
Dissolving Into air, leave but a gleam

Of fleecy whiteness; as they smile and shine,

Deep Iri'the boaoni of a fairy lake
That lies half hidden ’neath a high green bank,
Where on its bosom snowy lilies love

A solemn stillness reigns, save the low chirp
Of insects or the twittering of birds
Within their, nesta, and as I gaze around,
A sadness o’er my spirit gently steals,
Born of the dreamy quiet. Memory
’fioes hack to early years when these green fields
T 6 toe seemed widened into worlds of space,
Where oft with cautious tread and fifed hand,
1 Strove to snare the gorgeous butterflies,
That fluttered o’er the clover blossom’s sweets.
The little brook that once with laugh and shout

How looks so small, though it has overflowed

The village church, where pointing up to heaven
like a while finger gleams the tiny spire.
Wbat memories it brings to me of days

When through the open windows oome the pure,
fiesh air of heaven, bringing the perfumes from
The fields and gardens near. When songs of birds
Went up to heaven mingled with songs of praise!
The willows, with their; long green branches

And far along the eastern sky will break
The gray light o’er tire dim and distant hills.
The flowers,’all dripping with the cool, bright

Dr. Draper’s History of the Civil War
(Bvo., Harper & Broß ), wins favorable opin
ions, we are glad to find, from that most dif
ficult of critics, the London Saturday Re
view. After foolishly censuring certain his
tories prepared in the North "’for dressing a
few laurels Northern government
after its victories, the Saturday Review
dribbles out its guarded praise as follows:
In this respect Dr. Draper sets them an ad
mirable example. His History of the Civil
'War, of whiclTthe second volume is now be
fore us, is not free trom strong party and na
tional prejudice—as may be seen in the man
ner in which he treats the notorious procla
mation of General Butler. But its very title
■ displays a better spirit man that of most
Northern historians of Ore war; the South
erners are, as a rule, spoken of, not as
“rebels,” but as Contederateß; and full justice
is rendered to the bravery of the men, the vir
tue, patriotism and patience of the women,
and the heroism with which the entire people
■endured the horrors of war, the privations in
flicted by the blockade upon a nation ac
customed to derive' so large a portion of the
necessaries of life from abroad, the desolation
carried into their homes by the slaughter of
the very flower of their youth and manhood,
and the other sufferings which he himself
sums up in the emphatic phrase, that the
South, during the war, was in a state of siega.
But even Dr. Draper [mourns the Saturday
Review,'] is not a trustworthy guide. The
national vanity that cannot bear to own a
failure, nor rest satisfied without trying to
explain away a disgrace, leadß him .too
lar from sober truth, and even from
reasonable probability. Thus when he
•laims the campaign of Bull Run as
a “political success” _ lor the Federate,
basing his argument upon the assertion of an
, aggressive purpose on the part of the South,
and a defensive one on that of the North —
. imputing to the former a design, with a force
not bftlf that ot their enemy, to take Wash
ington, and denying by implication the noto
rious expectation of the Federal Government
"andjthe entire North that the army of the
‘ Potomac tgeuld march straight on to Rich
mond and capture the Confederate capital at
' ~a hk)W—ho not only provokes a smile at the
. moment,, bpt destroys all confidence in Mb
‘ impartiality and accnracy for the future.
His present voluaife briß|s the history down

out, after an unusually short interval sinoe
the preceding one. It contains eleven large
illustrations, in eight octavo pages. The
selection of words, a matter of very delicate
tact in such an enterprise, is made with great
discretion; few are admitted whose meaning
is universally, known, and hardly any seem
to be left out which would probably ba ob
jects of inquiry. The definitions are full: that
of the first word, age, fills three columns,
with three pictures; and they are up to the

finishes With Akber.

“Le Diable, sa grandeur et sa decadence.”
Par J.-M. Cayla. Paris, E. Dentu. Re
ceived from Penington & Sons.
No more phantoms! Down with the mons
tefs I exclaims, atthe conclusion of his study
of demonology, the author of “Ces Bons
Messieurs de St Yincent-de-Paul” and of
“Le Diable.” He professes to have written
his book for the purpose of delivering Chris
tianity and human reason from the most de
structive and odious of all l the symbols bor
rowed from the ancient pantheiar® of Asia.
In the view of his advanced philosophy, our
bugbears about the devil and hell and origi
nal sin are only the engines which fanaticism
has been employing for centuries to brutify
and affright humanity. Armed with all the
zeal of Voltairian reform, he devotes him-
self, through four hundred pages of the size
called in 18 jeans, to stripping off the mask,
and removing the harlequinade, of this
proverb and chimsera and juggler whom we
call the devil.
Alter a prefatory rhapsody addressed to
Satan in person, (throughout which we may
perceive a profound obligation to Chateau
briand’s Version of the Paradise Lost,) the
author becomes historical and practical in his
first chapter. His earliest sources are the
rabbms and the obscure histories of the
Talmud; the hours or Adam’s first day, only
ten of which elapßed before his disastrous aa-
quaintasce with the tempter, are recited after
these ghostly authorities. At the first hour,God
collected the dust of the earth and made the
embryo; at the second, Adam was on his feet;
at the fourth (M. Cayla admires the prompti
tude with which the first man constituted
himself encyclopedist), Adam named the ani
mals; the seventh was occupied with his mar
riage with Eve, whom the Creator presented
to him after having dressed her hair (we
cannot but find something delicate, tender and
all oriental in that touch); at the tenth hour
Adam sinned, and by the twelfth he was al
ready tasting the trouble and sweat ef labor.
The account of the fall M. Cayla takes entire
from Milton, whom he evidently acoept3 with
innocence as the recognized mythographer of
the proteßtants; but he borrows from the
rabbins again the pedigree ot Cain, offspring
of Eve and the tempter.
In the next chapter our author takes up the
history of Noah, which seems to him likely
to have been learned by Moses from the
Egyptian priests; [Binoe Renan has taught
them the pleasant sad fruitful vice of guess
ing, the French have plunged with abandon
into gneßswork of about this complexion]'
and discusses the question whether the vine
was planted by the devil. Then traoing the
saltatory attendence of Satan upon the Jewish
race through their whole history and bond
age under the Egyptians, he lands the chosen
people,after the death of their chief historian,
in Syria, in the full contagion of the myths of
Asia Minor.
Chapters 111., IY. and V. are devoted to '
prolonging the history of demonology through
the Jewish and Christian dispensations, into
the sombre mental condition of the middle
ages, wherein all dark notions had such wel
come root and snch fantastic luxuriance of
outgrowth. The devil,through the remaining
chapters, does not come much further down
in point of time; for at the Renaissance (the
word a French author always uses when a
German or English one would say Reforma
tion ) the hero of our history ceased to grow,
if he did not cease to live. . The myths which
fill the middle portion of the book are the
curious phantoms whoBC birth was in the
dark ages; and the strange grinning images

legend, people a large portion of his mono

jdrals. JM. Cayla, however, prolongs his study
to our own timeß by reciting the , fantasies of:
protestantlsm, the conVttetoixists "and hys
terical saints, and conclhfles with an analysis
ofinodern spiritualism, afollyinspired.as he
believes, by the same] maggot in the human
brain which erst gave origin to,the fantastic
bugbear of Satan.
M. Cay la’s light, railing method is not at
all adapted to the average protestant reader,
to whom the tempter is a daily presence,
only too plainly felt and-ftdbidlsastronsty
known; and a great deal of his mockery
might be nullified by a little child with some
plain query about the necesßityand ' origin of
evil in the world. Bo far as the historical
study goes, however, it is industrious,
clear, complete, and therefore useful; and
clergymen and bible students may find a
curious and exhaustive repository of that kind
of lore in this tract which Will at first repel
them. i 7

almost any enterprise ,we can think of, the

The book of Marine Monsters is compiled I
with great care by M. Landfill from every' |
reliable source at hand; tee greater part o f I
these sources 1b necessarily foreign, for the I
French are not especially a maritime people, I
and the narratives of American whalers and
English explorers are the rich field from
which the harvest of the sea is to be most
abundantly reaped. In at leaßtone case,
however, that of the sepia (the pieuvre
of Hugo’s “Toilers of the Sea,”) M- Landrin
finds his most reliable .witness in a French
officer, M. Bonyer, lieutenant of the Bteamer 1
Alecton, w*ose paper on the cuttle-fish was
communicated to toe Academy of Sciences
in 1862. The descriptions of the various
wonders of the sea and shore have been culled
by our author with great care and with lively
relish, and he is not least amusing when he
reoites toe various myths which human fancy
has in various ages located in toe wonder
breeding sea. This branch of his subject leads
him to such fantasies as Barnum’s mermaid
and the Glocester Bay sea-serpent of 1817;
bnt the authentic marvels are, after all, the
most interesting. The illustrations, amount
ing to nearly fifty, are so accurate and
artistic as to add greatly to the clearness oi
toe descriptions.
We have only to say farther, in recom
mending this series to students of French
who wish to be well entertained while per
fecting themselves in foreign syntax, that
Hachette cannot print otherwise than with
brilliant type on beautiful paper, and that
each volume is a convenient handfal of three
to four hundred pages X2mo, and vendible by
Messrs. Penington at one dollar currency.

WOMEN’S RIGHTB AND WRONGS.
Mrs. Francis D. Gage,in “Looking Back,”
gives personal reminiscences, and tells how
she became interested in the Woman’s Rights
movement, and of its progress. We quote a
single incident from her very interesting ar -
At twenty, I married. My husband was a
lawyer. One day, years ago, a woman called
at our home to see him. Her husband had
been ' intoxicated, and had beaten her and
turned her. out of the house, and kept her
children from her. She had married him
while he was poor. Her’fatber, dying, had
bequeathed her a farm and house, horses,
eattle, sheep and money. Into this house the
husband moved. Into the comforts and use o
the money he installed himself as master, aud
she Seon found herself a pauper dependent
on his bounty. He starved her, beat her chil
dren, aud compelled excessive labor from
her and them. She bad come to my husband
to learn what she should do.
“Leave him,” said he.
“But he won’t let me have my children.”
“No, in law, they belong to him.”
“The property is mine. ”
“In law, net one cent of it except enough
for your necessary support.”
“Well, if I could have my say about that —
and my children ?”
“But you cannot. He can keep the chil
dren. You must have an arbitration of men
to say what ought to be enough for your
necessary support.”
“Didn’t my father give it all to me?”
“Certainly, but the law gives it to your
husband.”
“Can’t I sue him for beating me ?” M
“Not in your own name.” !
“Suppose you sue him for me, could Ithen
get damages ?” \
“Any damage that would accrue, would go
to other parties. If you will leave him, and
the Children with him,” continued my hus
band, as she sat utterly silenced, “I will do
all I can for you. But I warn yen. He has
money aud you have none,and public opinion
here allows a man to whip his wife out of the
house and whip her In again, especially if he
is drunk. Are you strong enough toTeave
your children and abide the issue ?”
“My God, no! the youngest is a baby.”
“Then I cannot help you unless you sue
for assault and battery, and have him bound
over to keep the peace.”
“If 1 should do that he would kill me.”
M suppose ho would maltreat you.”
Slowly the poor woman tobo from, her
chair, and, in-a voice that went to ourßpute,
said, simply, as she went out, “i must go to
my children.” , - < i

whose sad experiences are paralleled by the
incident above giyeD, who ean toll. , ’
;i“; . ' Tbe Use of Sparrows. ’
A writer in Once a Week says of titeso
JllflebirdsjifiSv Ǥf A?
; I “Mr- Edward Wilson, whose labere in toe
department of acclimatization are universally
recognized.ind to I tolstake^O^
Australia owes its sparrows, has ascertained
that fid less' than fourteen hundred eock-
Schafers’ wings have been found below the
I nest of one pair of sparrows. Each female
insect produces about forty grubs,which bur
row for three years in the ground, preying
upon the crops during this time to an enor
mous . .client. ' As many as one hun
dred thousand of these grubs have
been found on one acre of land, ana as
each ’ acre will grow about forty thousand
mahgOlds'or turnips there are about three
grubs to* each root! In some years the
damage done by this single insect in -France ■
alone has been estimated at the astounding
sum of £40,000,000! A very simple calcu
lation shows that, simply in feeding their
young, a single pair of sparrows annually
prevent the production of fourteen thousand
grubs, and the account in favor of the birds
is not yet complete, for .sparrows by” no
means restrict themselves to cock-ohafers,
even when these delicacies are in season, but
will eat almost any kind of inseotorgrub
that comes in their way. :
“Mr. Wood, in his ‘Ulustrated -Natural
Historv,’ 1862, says that a single pair of
these birds were once watched for a day, and
were seen to parry to their youngno less than
forty grabs per hour. Such labors as these 7
are not to be disregarded. Let a somewhat
.stout farmer, especially if he is dressed in the
.orthodox style of top boo„tB and rathaLtight
clothing about , toe girths, attempt to uring
home forty grubs in an hour, and we are much •
mistaken if at the end of that time he does
net feel a greater respect for the sparrows.
Wherever toe sparrows and other small birds
have been exterminated, the crops have been
destroyed by the consequent increase of in- 1
sects: and in several cates toe same-govern-,
ments which Ordered the destruction of birds
have been compelled to revoke their law,
i and issue orders ’ for their protection. The
l bslanee of nature cannot be rashly interfered
| w ith by blind mortals without evil conse
quences.” ■

A correspondent of toe Pittsburgh Commercial,
wilting from Oil City, says;
Considerable development has been in progress dar

Hiih satisfactory results. Many small wells have been
struck on tbe flats above town, and some abandoned
wells cleared ont and rctubed with good results. The
developments presented on Charley and Shaffer runs
hove been gradually successful, and so far as the ex
periments have been made indteate that the whole

planter run on the north. Oil Creek" on the east, and
the Allegheny river on the south.to be good promising

leases for this territory at an eighth royalty. A little
later and a quarter whs asked. Now three-eighths are
ihe beet terms to be had, and most of the territtory in
what ie considered tbe best localities cannot bo had a,
less than a half royalty. A great many leases have
been taken, and as soon as spring opens, and the
weather becomes favorable to out ofdoor work, many
new. wells will be put down, .
On Saturday a well was tested in the borough limits,
on the bank of the creek a short distance above Cen

Is now graded, and It Is reasonably expected that the
through connection between San Francisco and New York
will be completed by June L
As the amount of Government aid given to each Is de

The Government aid te the Union Pacific Railroad and
the Central Padfio Railroad may be briefly summed up
as follows:
First—The right of way and all necesssp timber and
etoce from public domaic*
Second—lt makes a donation of 123 W acrosof land to
the mile, which, when the road fa comnloted,wUl amount
to twenty-three million (28.0)0,000) acres.
Third—lt loans the companies fifty.million dollars
[860,000,000), for which It takes a second Hen.
The Government has already loaned the Union Pacific
Railroad twenty-four million six hundred and ninety

Pacifio Railroad seventeen million nine hundred and
sUty-four thousand dollan ($17,961,000). amounting In all
to forty-two million six hundred and sixty-two thousand
dollan (842.662,000).
The Companies are permitted to Issue their own First

fortieth Cowgreas—Tnird Session.
(CLOSE or YESTEBDAT’S FBOCEEDHraS.]
Sehats.— On motion of Mr. Sherman, Ihe Cur
rency bill was taken np, and Mr. Conkling spoke
upon the finances.
Mr. Dixon here presented what appeared to
him one of the ablest and most instructive docu
ments he had yet seen on the financial question

signed by General Du ß Green. Tabled and
erderedto be printed. -

At 4 o’clock the Senate went Into Executive ses

P. M. The River and Harbor bill was token up.
Mr. Chandler, from the Committee on Com
merce, reported favorably the House bill for the
xcjpeal of tonnage duties on Spanish vessels.
Afro.'adversely the Honse bill to repeal the act
«f March 2, 1867, regulating the disposition of
fines and forfeitures received under the custom
laws.
The consideration of (ho River and Harbor bill
■was resumed, and several amendments, reducing
the appropriations, were agreed to.
At 10 P. M. the Senate adjourned.
Hocsa.—'The consideration of the resolution of
Mr. Butler,protesting against tho counting of the
vote of Georgia, was continued.
Mr. Eldridgo declared his belief that tho coa
ctnrent resolution and the twenty-second joint
rule were, both of them, In contravention of
the Constitution. He had raised that ques
tion of order yesterday, and If it had been sus
tained all the difficulties In which the House and
the convention were Involved yesterday would
have been avoided. The Constitution provided
expressly that the President of the Senate should
count the electoral votes In presence of the
Houseand the Senate. It was his dnty, there
fore, eimply to open and couDt the votes. The
concurrent resolntion was, In hla judgment, an
ntter nullity.
Mr. Bingham (Ohio) said he thought that the
resolution of censnre was a proposition that the
members of the Honse should solemnly by vote
declare themselves violators of the law under
their oath. It waa a controlling principle with
him that whether satisfied with a law or not he
was bound to obey it. The concurrent resolntion
tinder which the joint convention had acted yes
terday waa obligatory on tho presiding officer of
the Senate. The resolution offered by the
gentleman from Massachusetts was contra
dicted by the written record. That record
was mode up in the very letter and spirit of the
.conemrent resolntion. And now, he continued,
comes this gentleman, asking the Honso to stul
tify itself, to say to the oountrv in fact that
the people must, to nee the gentleman's own
worderhave feeoffreo to the sacred right of revo
lution. Sir, the righLof revolution is never sa
cred, save when exercised In vindication of a
right and In redress of a wrong. The sacred right
oi revoluUon Is invoked hero for the purpose of
violating yonr own law.
Mr. Bauer—Will tho gentleman allow me—
Mr. Bingham—No, sir.
Mr. Bntier—l only waut to say that you are
not using my words In the constrnctlon that I
used them In.
Mr. Bingham—Tho gentleman’s remarks do
nof appear In the Globe this morning, but I find
the gentleman's speech reported by the official
representative of tho press of the country. I am
glad that the gentleman takes back his words.
Mr. Bntier—l take back nothing.
Mr. Bingham—Then I ask the House to com
pel you to take back your revolutionary resolu
tion; that Is something that the gentleman caUhot
retract, and I denounce It hero to-day before the
Honse and before the people of the conntry os
being as unwarrantable as any act of eecoaalon.
1 denounce, os a representative oi tho people.tkla
attempt to Inaugurate revolution upon the floor
of this House. I will oppoeo the roterenco of the
resolution, as scorning to commit the House In
some sort to a challenge of your own law. How
would it look for us to refer another resolution,
suggested by the speech of the gentleman (Mr.
Butler), and that* Is that the House should be
authorized, to DsWthe gentleman’s .language, If
the Senate would not retire from the jotatcou
■yention, *‘,to kick It ont." The gentleman from
Massachusetts Bbould be the captain In the kick
ing operation. j Laughter. |
I think the gentleman cannot gainsay his
speech In that behalf, which brought down the
galleries and split the ears of the grouudllngß;and
It illustrated the animus of his resolution. I de
nounce it here os a resolntion of revolution. I de
““““ceß as a resolntion of anarchy. The idea

• Mr. -Bailer—(aelde)—l always did like-that
• speech of Bingham’s. | (Laughter.) ,
j Mr. Blngham, not bearing the remark, went
on to say it was the sworn duty of the President
of tbe Senate to obey tbe Taw, whether ho ap
proved it or- not, rand fordoing so this House la
;to censure him and charge him with oppression
of tbo House and invasion .of Its rights. Mr.
Speaker, it will be a sad day for America when it
jfocs one to tbo country that the Honse of Rep
resentatives denounces a commissioned officer of
tbo people acting under the obligation of bis
-oath for. obeying tbeiaw oven lntneprescuco of
amobwhlch would disgrace any assembly of
men that ever convened on the face of God's
earth.
Mr. Schenck agreed that the concurrent reso
lution did not touch 'the question as to what
should be done when the certificates were
opened. It did not reach the question of count
ing. He did not think that the concurrent reao
lntlon and the twenty-second rule conflicted with
each other, He revlewcd the proceedings of yes
terday down to the point where tho presiding of
ficer announced that the objection of tho gentle
man from Massachusetts was overruled by the
Senate; and gentlemen wonder, he cpnuiined,
that any of us should conclude that, In any form
of language Whatever, it Is proper to consider
this decision an Invasion of the rights of the
House of Representatives. If it be not, then we
are the merest ornamental appendage to this pro
ceeding of counting the votes that ever' one
body was made when dancing attendance on
another.' ■ 1
Farther discussion followed, Mr. Colfax de
fending bis action In calling upon the Sergeant
at-Arms, and Mr. Garfield strongly censuring the
disorder of yesterday. Mr. Garfield Concluded by
moving that the pending resolutions be laid upon
the table, whereupon Mr. Butler exclaimed,
-‘Tbatlfl'themeenestactTeversaw'any mando.
There were cries of order, and Mr. Garfield with
drew bis motion. Mr. Bntler then made a speech
in advocacy of hispoaitlop.
Mr. Bntler modified his resolutions as follows:
Resolved, That the House protests against the
manner of procedure and tbe order of The Presi
dent of the Senate pro tem. in the presence of tbe
two Houses, in counting the vote of Georgia In
obedience to the order of the Senate oni'y|aad
against his acts in dissolving the convention of
the two Houses at his own wIU, as an. invasion
of tbe rights and privileges oftna Houses.
Resolved, That the above resolution be and
hereby is referred to a select committee ot five,
with leave to report at any time, by bill or other
wise.
At 4.80 the Honse took a recess.

A bill was presented to the Honse of 8950 for
pay of witnesses in the Bunn and Witham con
tested election case. The size of the bill caused
Messrs. Nicholson, Herr, and other Republicans,
to inquire into Its items, and it was referred to a
committee, with instructions to ascertain the
amount duo to each witness. Several curious
statements wore made by members, among them
one by Mr. Nicholson (Rep.), who said that he
had heard, before the present session of the Legis
lature opened, that a certain seat was to be con
tested, and that both the Bitting member and the
contestant were to receive full pay. This had
very nearly coma true. Mr. Brown (Deqa.), of

ered. It was originally Intended to apply to
ruralJUstricts, but waa amended, on motion of
Mr. Hong, to include Philadelphia.
Mr. Jones (Dem.), of Berks, moved to amend
.by making a penalty of fifty dollars for noa-par
'ifclpatlon in militia duties. He explained that If
the real intention of the bill was to organizo the
people into militia forces, the penalty for non
compliance should be large; but, if tbe idea-was
only to make some of the citizens pay the ex
penses of others who wanted to play soldier, tho
bill was wrong.
The amendment was lost by 14 ayes to 75 noes.
Mr. Brown (Rep.), of Huntingdon, moved to
amend by making the tax fifty cents. This was
lost by to 47.
Finally, ono dollar was agreed upon, and nine
months and other nctnal volnnteers wore exempt
from militia fine or daty. Tho House refused,
however, to exempt those who had furnished
substitutes or paid commutation. The bill passed,
to the third reading, and was laid over in con
sequence of there not being two-thirds In its favor
to suspend the rules. Adjourned.
