The dew lay glittering on the grass, . . A mist lay over the brook. At tbe ear'iest beam of tbe golden sna The swallow her nest 'orsook. Thesnowy blooms of the hawthorn tree Lay thickly the ground adorning. The birds were si uging in every bush At five o'clock in the morning. Bessie, the milkmaid, merrily sang. ' For tbe meadows were fresh and fair The breese of the morning kissed her brow, And p'ay'd with her nut-brown hair; But oft she turned and looked around, As if the silence scorning ; Mwas time for the mower to whet his scythe. At five o'clock in the morning. - Over the meadows the mowers came, And merry their voices rang. And one among them wended his way To where the milkmaid sang ; . ' And e be lingers 1 by her side. Despite his coiuradea' warning, The oid. old Mory was told ag iia At bvc o'clock iu tbe mori.ii.g. , " The Amendment. We presume it may be reg.tr Ja J as settleJ that tlie Northern States wiil nut call extra sesMons ol the Legislature to ratify the ro-pos-ed ainetidujeiits to the Jottitutioir. The Executives have generally conferred on the subject, and they have, we believe, de cided not to call their Jegislttures. We think litis decision a wice one. If tbe proposed amendments could be made part of the organic law before the first of Janu ary by extra sessions, we think it would have been be.-t to hasten ihe result; but biiice it is reasonably certain that under no circumstances could the amendments be adopted by the requisite number of. States during the current year, it is wLse to submit the i.sue to the people. The Democrats were most solicitous that extra seMons should be called, as it woutU enable them to declaim aiainstthe expense, and the apparent unwillingness of the U nion party to trust the people. They had their guns shotted lo repel this advance of r reedom ar d J ustice, and they will be se rio isiy ; embarrassed by the failure to call extra tensions. They have good reason to fear the people on the issue, and it will of necect-ity subordinate ail other issues in the corning election. The proposed amend ments tbereibre, go to the people and no human poer can prevent them from deci ding in their favor by an overwhelming ma jority. Chambenburp Repository. Gen. Geary's reception in Philadelphia on the 4th elicited the most unbounded enthu siasm, lie lode at the head oi the veterans who had in charge the State Hags. His presence was the signal of the most uproar ous cheering all along the line of proces sion. At many points the crowds ot sol eiers and citizens who surrounded the hero stopped the progress of the march. At Sixth and Chestnut streets, the General could scarcely keep his saddle, so closely was he besieged by hands whtch had carried rides and muskets where he led in the fray to crush rebellion. Altogether, it was a grand spectacle. It exhibited the true teel ing of tbe people for the soldier, and was Geary speaking one of those pieces, the ut terance of which so annoys the Copper heads. Cheerful Wome.v. O if "gloomy wo meu'' did but know what comfort there is iu a cheerful spirit! H w the-heart leaps up to meet a sunshiny face. a merry tongue, an even temper, and a heart which either naturailj, or, what is oerter, from conscien tious principle, has learned to uke all things on the bright side, believing that the Giver of life being ail perfect love, the best offering we can make to Uiui is to enjoy to the full what He sends of good, and bear what He allows of evil ; like a child, who, when once it believes in its father, believes in all his doings with it, whether it under stands them or not. The 4tii in Dixie. The 4th of July was not celebrated in the South at all, except by U. S. troops on duty, a few earnest and real Union men, and the .Freedmen. The late rebels gave the day the cold shoulder. They say that the day is associated with the fall of Vicksburg and the rebel defeat at Get tysburgdisasters that gave the short-lived "Confederacy" its mortal burt. The ne groes everywhere throughout the South had a grand jubilee. The 4th of July means something for them now . that they are uo longer slaves.

The Courrier des Etats Unix, of a late date, says : Chance has put into our hands the most imposing and interesting judicial document, to all Christians, that has ever been recorded in human annals ; that is the identical death warrant of our Lord Jesus Christ. We transcribe the document from a copy of the translation : - SENTENCE. ''Rendered by Pontius Pilate, acting Gov ernor of Lower Galilee, that Jesus of Nazareth Shall Suffer Death on the Cross." the year seventeen of the Empire of Tiberias lite ar, and the 4th of March, the city of the ho!y Jerusalem ; Anea and Caiaphas being priest, sacrifioator of the people of G 1, I, P.nius I'ilate, Governor of the prretory, condemn Jesus of Nazaieth to die on the cross between two thieves the great an J natoiiodj evidence of the peo ple saying I II j is a seducer. II lie is seditious. 3 lit is the enemy of the law. 4 lie cills himself falsely, the son of God. 5 He calls himself King of Israel. 6 lie entered into the temple, followed by a multitude bearing palm branches in their hands. - Order the centurion, Quintius Cornelius, to lead him to the place of execution. Forbid any person, rich or poor, to op pose the death of Jesus. , The witnesses that signed the death of Je.-us are: 1 Daniel Iiobani. a Pharisee. ' 2 Jannus Ilojobabie. 3 Capet, a citizen. Jesus shall go out of the city hy the gate '"strenuous." The above sentences are engraved on a cop(er plate. On one side is writtea these words: ' "A similar plate is sent to each of these triles." t It was found in an antique vase of white marble, while excavating in the city of Aquilla. in the Kingdom of Naples, in the year 1825. and was discovered by the Com missariat of Arts, attached to the French armies. At the expedition of Naples it was tout d enclosed in a box of ebony, in the sacristy ot Courteni. '' . ' The:Fre-.ch translation was made by the members of the Commission ot Arts.- The children requested earnestly that the plate might not be taken away from them. The request was granted, as a reward for the array. 3Ir. Dennon, one the savans, cansed a plate to be made of the model, on which he had engraved the above sentence. At the sale of his collection of curiosities, it was bought by Lord Howard for 5.SS4 francs. ' - : . The Copperhead papers take great pleas ure in styling the present Congress, com posed of the ablest and most patrioticunen in the country, atid representing the loyal millions whose sacrifices and patriotic de votion saved the country, the "liuuip Con gress." The term. ' Rump" would apply much better to the Democratic organization itself. At the opening of the war the mass of the Democratic party was embraced with in the limits of the Southern States, and composed the principal part of the'material which inaugurated and carried on the re bellion. That which was left remaining of of the party at the North was a mere "rump" of the original concern, and an insignificant one at that. The great desire now expres sed by the Northern Democracy to have their fate allies represented in Congress, is for the purrose of bringing about a reu nion ot the broken parts, as it is impossible for the "rump" to get along further while detached from the main body. Raspberrt Vinegar. Every house keeper should endeavor to have at least a small Quantity of this delightful beverage. ! In cases of fevers it is indispensible. and , will often quiet and soothe when nothing, else will. Put two quarts of red raspber- ries, nice and fresh, into a jar, and pour over them a quart of good vinegar. Lot it stand ! twenty-four hours. Strain through a flan nel bag. Pour this liquid over two more quarts of fresh berries and again let it stand wenty-four hours. Strait again. Allow lb. of loaf or good white sugar to evtry pint of juice. Stir well into the liquid, put into a 6 tone jar, rover closely,, and set to stand in a kettle of boiling water to be kept boil ing for an hour. Strain it,and bottl readv for use.

It is cowardly implying a fear either of not betn believed or obeyed. 4. 1 It is nn?entleman!y. A eentleman, according to Webster, is a gen teel man well bred, refined.

Its declarations are briefly these : . , 1 . All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdic tion thereof, are citizens of the United States, and of the States wherein they re side. 2. No State shall make or enforce any law wriir.li vK i'l abndge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nr shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, ' or property without due pro- cess of law, nor deny to any ierson within its jurisdiction the equal protection of laws. - -.: 3. Representation "in Congress shall antortined to the population entru: with political rights. 4. Nc prt-iured Rebel who has violated an oath a a member of Congress, or as a national officer, shall be eligible again to . anv such office. . 5. The National War Debt shall never be repudiated. . . . 6. The Rebel War Debts shall never be assumed or paid. ' 7. No compensation shall be paid for the freed slaves. The entire. Copperhead delegation in both II juses of Congress votel .-olid against these propositions, ani the Copperhead party throughout the country back them up i i it. This issue, therefore, is fairly joined and it is proper that cverv voter should understand it. ' The N. Y. Herald on the Amendment. The New York Herald professes to be entirely satisfied with the Congressional scheme of reconstruction, as embraced in the constitutional amendments. It says hat Congress has given the Republican par ty a powerful platform for the approaching fall elections. It describes the amendment thus : - - This amendment provides that all persons born or naturalized in the United States of all colqrs (except Iudians not taxed,) are citizens thereof and of the States in which they live, and shall have equal protection under the laws ; that the basis of represen tation in Congress shall Lt regulated accord ing to the restrictions ichich the States may secerally impose vpon the right of suffrage ; that a large schedule of rebels shall be ex cluded from all Federal offices hereafter, subject to admission in each case by a two thirds vote ot each House of Congress; that the national debt and soldiers' pen sions and bounties shall be held inviolate, and that all debts of the rebellion or of any rebellion, and all claims for losses of slaves shall be everywhere and utterly repudiated. Ail these things are in the amendment which the State Legislatures will now be called upon to ratify, and no doubt every proposition, will meet the approval of the great body of the people which carried the Government triumphantly through the fear ful ordeal of the late southern rebellion. We trust the Herald will continue longer in support of the amendment than it did in support of the freedmen's bill. j A War Relic The Boston Journal says : "In a farm house near the Kennebec there hangs a frame and glass containing a piece of blue silk on which is a gilt star. Its history is this: A son of the family was one of the color guard of the 16th Maine regi ment at the battle of Gettysburg. Finding that they were to be captured, and being unwilling that the flag should fall into the hands ot the enemy, the guard tore it up and concealed the pieces. The piece to which we have alluded was -kept concealed r by the young man during the time he was in rebel prisons, and when he was released he sent it home to his father, who had it framed and glazed. The son was afterward mortally wounded at Hatcher s Hun, and the family keep the piece of flag as a me morial of him, and of the tenacity with which he aided in keeping the stars from falling into the hands of tfie rebels."
