flVE O'CLOCK IN THE MOEMEG.
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 ;

, " 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.

Doath Warrant of Christ.

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

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. A teaspoonful tio a tumbler of
co! J water is the manner ot u-ing It.
Wnr Os-e Smcxo sm Sweat. An
article in rh Pittsburg Pi-enHiV gives sev

1. It is mean. 'A man of hi;rh nigral
standing would almost as soon steal a sheep
as swear. ' 2. It is vulgar altogether too
low for a decent man. 3.' 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. Such a one
will no more swear than go into the street
to throw nmd with a loafer. 5. It is ind v

unfit for 1 hnman ears.' 6.' It 'is foolish.
"Want of decency is want of sense." 7.
It is abusive to the mind that conceives it.

; The Issue.. ; tr
The political issue for 1SC6, .is presented
in the Constitutional Amendment passed by
the unanimous vote of every Republican
in Congress. 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

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."

There are few better investments than that
which places before one's family a stock of
good books, either of a miscellaneous char
acter or those referring to his own business.
Five, ten, twenty-five or fifty dollars- worth
of books put into a boy's hands, will fill his
head with ideas, set him to thinking,' attd
do more towards his future success in life,
than a thousand dollars laid up on interest
lor him. Ibe latter may give him. wore

capital to start on, but with a good stock of
ideas and a developed mind, he will do far
better in life with a much smaller money
capital to begin with. - "f ts tie wwW that

Birds in Japan. Birds are very kindly
treated in Japan. They are never killed
for sport ; and little troughs are scooped out
in the tombstones, which pri sts 11 every
morning with fresh water for drink. Dur
ing the stay of Commodore Perry' ships,
a number of officers started one day to go a
gunning. As soon as the Japanese saw the
cruel murder of their birds, they went, t?
tbe Commodore and begged hiuitojuta
stop to such conduct. There was", no more
bird shooting in Japan by American officers
after that; and when the treaty between
the two countries was concluded, one con
dition of it was that the birds should be
protected.

. Abominable Cruelty. An official .in
quiry is going on as to the treatment of the
sick in the Strand Union Infirmary in Lon
don, and some -terrible facta are revealed.'
The wards are too small for the --sick, and
twenty-two of tl em are. attended, by -on
paid nurse and a number of, paupers, many
of whom cannot read, who steal the beer
and wine allowed, sell the children's milk,
and leave patients with bed sores unmoved
for weeks. One woman stole gin from a
dying man under pretense of turning him
to attend to his sores, and the guardian
threatened to reduce the doctor's salary be
cause he complained of overcrowding.' '
A good old Quaker, on his death-bed call
ed his young son to his side, and gave him
the following sensible advice: ."My dear
son, I must soon leave thee, but before I
go, give heed . u what I say. , I want thee
never to use vulgar language, never to swear
never to drink intoxicating liquors, never to
steal, and above all never to permit thyself
to be nominated for office by the Copper
head party, for good people will always ah
hor and condemn uch means of vice and
degradation." . .
The simplicity of religious feeling is one .
of its most touching- beauties. It is a sun

upon plain and realized truth. The, very
charm of it is, that it is so ingenous and
transparent that there is no mistaking its
nature or iu reality. - Ita expression is.read,;
recognize, receive me ; there is in me no
reservation or disgui.se -welcome roe", aud
I will make you happy.",
Patrick Henrt. This eminent Virgin
ian left in his will the following important
passage ; "I have disposed of all my prop

I wish I could leave thern, and that is tbe'

I had not given them one shilling, they
would be rich ; and if they had not that,,
and I had given them all the world,, tliey
would be poor."
