And the tempest sofily breaks O'er the breast of sheltered lakes ! THE FORCE OF IMAGINATION. Late one evening a couple of Irishmen stopped at a country inn and aked for lodgings. The porter escorted them to the door of their room, but just as the trav elers entered it lire caudle was extinguish ed by the wind from the door as it c'osed behind them, lire porter had alteadv re turned t > the lutr room, and after vainly groping on tire mantle piece for matches, tiie travellers resolved to go to bed in the dark. — In the middle of the night one of them awoke, and after shaking his comrade ari u-ed lorn, s.rid; "T.rren e, I'm as awake as a vaccinated kitten, iiir want of air. Get up ami open the window. The room is as closoasa pat ent coffin, and i'il Jie if you don't get me air." Tnirence arose, groped around the room a few minutes, and then said: "I've found the window, hut bad luck to me if I can budge it. I can't move it aither up or down." "Then knock a couple of panes out wid yer shoe, and we'll pay for them in the morning,.' said ihe sick tnan. Terrence did as directed. After two crashes were heard by the man in bed lie seenn d to recover for he remarked: "Oh, that tresli air is invigorating. —I feel belter already. Out wid a couple more pains, gl. ss is chape, and the landlord won't be angry whiu we are willing to pay for tiieni." Terrancc-'s stout brogan soon shattered the remaing panes, and the weak man re covered Ins exhausted strength so soon thereafter that in ten minutes more he was enjo\it g Ins slumbers, undisturbed by the snores ot his companion, who had also ex pressed Litiisell refreshed bv the current of fresh air admitted through the broken glass. Consid- ralile time elapsed, and at length the travelers awoke. For thirty minutes they lay conversing, wondering why they could not sleep. "Surely it must he near mornin,' fur I don't feel a hit sleepy," said Terrence. "Mornin !' echoed the other. "By the mortliial. but it appears to mo that it's per petual night in this part iv the world " In a few minutes more they heard a knock at the door, and the travelers asked w hat was wanted. "It's twelve o'clock," answered the porter, opening the door and entering the room with a candle in his bund.—"Aren't you going to g> t up at all ?" "Only twelve o'el ck," exclaimed Ter rence. "Why, I thought it must be at least five. What d'ye mean by rousing us in tire . middle of tho night ? Do tho people of these parts get up at midnight ?" "Nil, but they get up at breakfast time." "Thin why didn't ve wait until break fast time before ye disturbed us ?" ''Because it's hours after breakfast now —in fact, it's just the dinner hour." "Get out, or I'll thow me brogan at ye. What a barefaced liar ye must be to say it's dinner time before it's daylight. The candle in yer hand makes a liar of ye !' "lla !ha!ha !" and the porter chuck led with ibe ex it rbe ranee of deiight. "No wonder \e think it isn't daylight, for there is no window in this room to let in light.' "Thin what did I break last night?" Terrence asked, looking around the room in astonishment. His eyes at last alighted on the book case, the glass of which pre sented a dilapidated appearance. "Be tiie powers, Jerrv," he added, aduressing Iris comrade,"whin I thought I was smashin, the windy, I was only breakin'thc glass in the book-cas<*. But it did ye a power iv good, Jerry, lhr yo sod ye felt the lresli air rcvivin' ye," " To Speak his Thoughts is Every Freeman's Rig-ht. " Facta to be Pondered. WHO ARE REBELS AGAINST THE LAWS, AND TRAITORS TO THE GOVERNMENT ? At an anti-slavery meeting in New York May, 1844 Resolved, That secession from the Union is the dutv of every Abolitionists. R solved, That fourteen years of warfare against the slave-power have convinced ns that every act done in support of the American Union rivets the claims of the slave —that the only exodus of the slave ! to freedom, unless it be one of blood, must be over the remains of the present Ameri | can Church, and the Grave of the present | Union. Resolved, That the Abolitionists of this country should make it one of the primary objects of this agitation to dissolve the American Union. Our claim is disunion, breaking of the States.— Wendell Philips r llie Union is a lie—l am for its over throw— Up with the flag of Disunion. — W. L. Garrison It (the Republican) is the first sectional paity ever organized in the country. It does not know its own face, and calls it self national ! but it is not national —lt is sectional. The Republican party is a par ; tv of the North, pledge against the South, j Wendell Philips. Senator Hale in 1850 presented two I pati ion-, praying Congress to devise some | plan for tiie Dissolution of the American 1 Union. These petitions received three votes. — J. P. Hale, IU. Jl. Sewnrd, S. P. Cha*e. I can conceive of a time when this Con stitution shall not be in existence; when we shall have an absolute military dicta toiinl Government. A 7 . P. Hank*, 1856. The Constitution is tho father of all our troubles. The only hope of the slave is over the ruins of the Government, and of the American Church.— ll. W. Beecher, 1866. The dissolution of the Union is not a question ot conscience but of policy.— We made the Union, and we have the right to unmake it, if we choose.— Rev. 11. | H'. B< flows, 1858. I have no doubt that the free and slave ; States ought to separate. The Union is not worth supporting in connection with the S tilth. — J. S. Pike. You cali thi- [agitation and disregard !of laws] revolution. It is. We need rev olution. We must and will have it. Let ; it come.— I'arl Schurz. 1860. lu 1856 Sumner predicts war, as the result of the "irrepressible conflict"— "War. fratricidal, part initial, war —an ac ; cumulated wi kedne-s beyond the wicked ties- of any war in human annual*." "Then the free States and slave States ! of the Atlantic, divi ting and warring with each other, would disgust the free States j of the Pae tic. and they would have abun dnnt cause and justification for withdraw ing from a Union, productive no longer of peace, safety and liberty to themsel ves." Thus W. H. Seward in 1856, en | couraged secession "If these infernal fanatics and Aboli tionists ever get power in their hands. | they will override the Constitution, set I the Supremo Conrt at defiance, change and make laws to suit themselves, lay vio j lent hands on those who diff r with them !in their opinions, or dare question their ! infallibility ; and finally they will bank rupt the country, and deluge it with blood."— Panitl Webster. 1860--1868. Ili-tory repeats itself. During the year 1860, when the "lurid clouds of war " | began to obscure tbe horizon, the great | democratic party appealed to their politi j cal opponents tout this very Freedmen's Bureau. The President would not maintain it for one hour, had he the power to dispose of it. It is maintained by the Radicals as an engine of political power over the nig gers of the South, and for no other pur pose. It wa> devised for that end, and | for that end it will be retained until after the November election, and as long there after as the people shall keep the Radi cals in power. Its immense annual cost to the grievously burthened people, the swarms of idle officials created under it, the corruption engendered by it, are noth ing to the Radicals, so long as it ia an en gine of their political power.— H.irritbury Put riot. Says Colfax in the South Bend speech : "But there is one theme left on "which I osu speak. It is the glorious "rccoid of the noble party of which for so "many years I have been an humble ad vocate ; whose principles I uphold and "maintain before you against all comers." To what party does Colfax refer ? It cannot bo the Radical party, of which he has been an humble advocate for so many years, since that party has had very few years of existence, and is even now pre paring for its own funeral in November.— Colfax must have alluded to the old Know-Nothing party which first sent him to Congress and whose principles of Cath olic proscription and church burning he advocated and maintained. The New Territory of "Wyoming. A bill passed both Hcjses of Congress to erect the territory of Wyoming, and to provide a temporary government j for it. The region embraced in it has ; lately been attached to the territoiy of j Dakota, but it is separated from it by , such barriers of space and deserts as to render the connection troublesome for, both parties. It i* completely surround ed by organized governments,-' Montana lying on the North, Dakota and Nebras ka on the east, Colorada and Utah on the south, and Idaho on the west. The; boundarylines are the twenty-seventh and thirty-fourth meridians ot longitude, and the forty-first and forty-fifth parallels of latitudes, so that it forms a perfect paral lelogram. It takes a small slice off Utah and another from Idaho. JRT The commissioners appointed by the Legislature to lpeate tho city buildings ofScratiton have*decided on the "Alder man Griffin place." The price paid is $25,009, property owners in the vicinity agreeing to rane $5,000 of the amount— leaving $20,000 to be paid by the city. The fellow who thought he would easily put his arm around Boston Neck was probably intoxicated. He would have to borrow an arin ol the sea to ac complish the feat. 3T A nigger named Isaac Moore was lynched in Hartford Co., Maryland, on the 25th u!t., for attempting a tape upon a highly rt-specubio girL Sfcrvud bim rijfht.

Girls should be like the flowers thst adorn them— pure to the sight, and sweet in mem ory. A western editor, in response to a sub scriber who grumbles that his morning paper was intolerably damp, says "that it Is be cause there is so much due on it. A reader writes that he takes no stock in the "new woman's club." lie says the "old woman's club" is enough for him, and fre quently to much. An eccentric clergyman lately said in ona of his sermons that '-about the commonest proof we have thai man is made of clay is the brick eo often found in his hat." "My dear," said a smiling spouse to her other half, "I'm going a shopping to-day Dd want a little change." "Pooh P' responded the savage, "that would be no change at all; you go a shopping every day." At a large party the other evening, while a young lady was playing the piano with a peculiar touch, a bystander remarked : "I'd give the world for her fingers." He was greatly taken aback by her prompt reply that he might have the whole band, for hla own. But then it's leap year, you know. Love, the toothache, a cough, and tight boot, are things which cannot long bo kept secret. An impertinent fellow asked a gentleman at a public gathering why he had shaved off his side whiskers, and was answered, "that to meet some men he required more cheek." An Irishman a short time since, paid an extraordinary price for an alarm clock, and gave as a reason, that, as he loved to rise early, he had now nothing to do but to pull the string, and he would wake himself. RETORT COURTEOUS —"Did you know,' said a cunning Gentile to a jew, ''(bat they hang Jews and jackasses ,together in Port land ?" "ludeed !" retorted Solomon, "den it ish veil dat you and I iah not dero." The passion of the French for theatrical amusetneuts, aud the patience with which they will wait at the doors of theatres for the sake ol obi aim og a good place for wit nessing the performance, are well known.— At a crowded French theatre, a woman fell Irom the gallery into the pit, and was picked up by ODe of the spectators, who, bearing her groaning, aaked her if aba waa much in* jnred. "Much injured !" exclaimed the woman, "I should thina 1 am. I bare lost the ber> seat in the very middle of the front row." Why should a base ball player never b employed on a farm 7 Because he's "death w the fouls." What person is it that hides every whei , often seen, yet never known 7 The oldeoi inhabitant. Why is an old man, being hung like a slate ol starvation 7 Becausa he was hungry (hung gray). Why is a chair without a bottom like a creditor's biil 7 Because it wants reseating (receipting). Why is a mar with the toothache like the State of Maine 7 Because both have ACRES that produce HOPS. • THE WEATHER AND THF. PARRS—A medi cal niiD and a lawyer met in the Central Park during the late spell of weather. Says the lawyer, "I can't keep myself warm o' nights, and yet I'm always wrapped up when I go to bed." "just my case," returned the doctor ; "I suffer from being WRAPPED UP several times during the uight." PRECEPT AND PRACTICE. —Beggar-woman: •'Please, sir, give me a penny to keep me from starving." Gent : Can't stop—in a great hurry ; I've got to make a speech at the Society for the Relief of the Destitute." A GOOD ONE.— Pat was helping Mr. Blank to get a safe into his o ftice, and not being ac quainted with the article asked what it waa for. "To prevent papers and other articles which are placed in it from being burnt in case of tire," said Mr. B. "An' shure will nothiu' iver burn that is put in that thing 7" "No." "Bell, then, yer honor, ye'd better be af ter getting mto that same thing when ya die." Mr. Blank "wilted." A drunken fellow wandered into a Sunday School, and the teacher accosted bira: "Why jamea, do you know what condition you ara in 7" "Yes'in—in ihcgall o' bil'ness, 'n the I bonds'f'niouity.
