MAN WAS SOT MADE TO MOBEN.
There is a voice which haunts me still,
Wheie'eron earth I be ;
In lonely Tale, on lofty hill,
And on the distant sea.
I bear it in the silent night,
And at the break of morn ;
And aye it crieth darK or light
Man was not made to mourn !
In every stream that seaward flows,
That voice salutes mine ear ;
In every wind that ronnd me blows,
Its thrilling notes 1 hear ;
In every sound of Nature's heart,
The cheerful or forlorn. :
This ever bears the betwr part
Man was not made to mourn '.
The sun that gilds the summer noon, .
The light that blesselh s.11, , ,
The myriad star, tbe quiet moon,
' The showers from Heaven that fall,
The flowers whiob in our meadows grow,
Our mountain paths adorn. .
All. all in their beauty show,
Muu was not made to mourn 1 -
All nature cries alond, but man
Regard not nature's voice ;
Preveuteth her benignant plan,
Her workmanship destroys; 4
From her air book the brightest page
With impious hand is torn
Yet still she cries, from age to age,
Man was not made to mourn ! -
U teen tie mother ! 'may thy child,' . '
Ere iong thy lesson read ;
Embrace ihy precepts, loving, mild,
Thy fri'ternizing cieed ; i
Thui shall the blessed eud be kuown
For which he has been born; -And
all shall fel. from zone to zjnc,
Ai.n Mas col made to mourn ! .
. A GOOD 3T0RY.
In one i.il the small interior towns of New
Kiitriuiid, where the superttitiuu of our an
cestors still possess a itoid on tbe people, the
lac is occurred a tew year t ince, of which
the foilowiut: is a true narrative :
An lione.-t fanner and his family prepar
ing tit celebrate Thanksgiving at his wife's
father's in an adjttceut town, were hurried
a:sd conftiaed 'extremely on the day preccd
inj: that festival, hy the multiplicity of things
Wiifh mast be done before they could leave
home with safety. The house was to be
"mnked up," and the gleanings of the har
vest, cabbage, turnips, and so forth, put in
; lie jt-llar, that the external entrauci there
to inittit be closed for the .-easou. . Having
i-arricJ in the vegetables, the boys were dis
patched to the barn tor straw to fill the pas
sage with, while the good man himself was
busied on the opposite side of the house.
An old lam ; rite horned patriarch of the
fl-K-k of the sheep kept on the farm, having
tot n taste of the scattered cabbage leaves,
uunbserved entered the cellar and silently
eoutiiiued the fi a?t The avenue thruugli
which he entered was immediately closed up,
and all the necessary works and arrange
i:it iits being completed. he larger boys and
girls set off on foot in high glee, the dog run
ning and barking before them.
Soon after, the parent.-! and their little
ones, having put out the fires and fastened
the doors and windows to keep out thieves,
f-i.irted ibr the .same destination.
Un the afternoon of the day following
the festival, the family relumed home ac
companied by some young cousins. Some
of their youthful neighbors of both sexes
were invited in, and a merry Thanksgiving
carou.sal was in full tida of successful opera
tion, when one of the beys who had been
sent to the cellar with a little two wick can
dle, which gave just ei ough light to make
darkness visible, to draw cider, ran back in
to the room, with eyes glaring wildly, utter
ing the half suffocating exclamation,
"The devil is in the cellar!''
"Pooh," .said the father, "you have only
been frightened by your own shadow ; give
uie the lisfht."
laying this, he seized the- candle leav
ii'.g the candlestick fast in the hands of the
buy, and boldly rushed to the cellar stairs,
out before he had descended half the steps,
r tie large sauier eyes and enormous horns of
the ram caused him to retreat as much ter
liiied as his son, exclaiming:
".Sure enough, the devil is in the cellar!"
The good man siezed the great bible, at
tempted to read, but the candle sputtered,
burned blue.and threw such a feeble light on
the sacred 'pages, and the book trembled so
much in the hands of the .reader, that he
could not distinguish one word from anoth
er. Tbe little children cried and clung to
the mother, the girls nestled close to the fa
vurite beaux, and the whole house was sha
iitn with the agitation of its half demented
inhabitants. One bright thought, however,
occurred, and a message was sent for the
minister to come and "lay the deviL"
The parson, a man more celebrated for
iruuil nature, piety aud fidcllity, than fer tal
ent and heroism, clipped a small bible into
bis pocket, put on his band and surplice so
simuld appear as formidable as possible
-u his great antagonist, and hastened to
tlie relief of his distressed parishioners.
n eomiris to the house the reverend was
Wiled as a deliverer,aud implored by at least
'I'iz.-n persons at the same moment to drive
thf dvil away. But few moments were
i't in asking that which no one knew, be-,
kre the parson pushed forward as a leader,
w ith the same penurious light, into the cel
lar, the most courageous of the company,
kf-i j.insr close behind him. He reached the
f"ot ..f the stairs, the eyes of fire, and the
i-hajowy outline of the enormous . horns
aznified tenfold, at least, by the terror of
tliose w10 beheld them, removed all -doubt
if any had existed in his mind as to the in
ternal nature of the being with whom he had
lor contend. .
The divine instantly fell on his knees, ana
ith uplifted hands, began to pray in his
most fervent manner. The ram not under-;

ling dimensions of his drapery, missed the
slender body of the priest, and drawing has- '
tily back to renew the assault, hooked one1
of his horns into the belt of the surplice and
pulled the priest with him into the cellar. j
While thus in the power of his victorious
foe, he lost hope so tar as it regarded him- I

This exhortation was better obeyed than

was led in triumph, followed by the ecclesi
astic, into the jnidst of the company.' A
momentary . silence aud hanging down of
heads, endued, but the past scene was too
ludierom to aim it of sober reflection, and
loud peals of laughter burst forth from eve
ry side, dnrin wichthe ram was turned out
at the door, the parson absented himself
without ceremony, and the sports of the
evening were resumed with better spirits
than before.
A Father Sacrifices his Son.
About nine hundred years ago a Count
yclept; Liderik, was the ruler of Flanders. It
happened once upon a time, that his sons
were amu-sing themselves by all sorts of
games and diversous before the gate cf the
castle. Now there was a great dearth and
famine in the country. A poor woman, e
maciated fifnu care and distress, came along
with a ba-jk'St full of fruit which she offered
to the young gentlemen to enable her to buy
bread for her children. And the eldest son
of the Count bought of her all the fruit she
had, and as he had no money with hint, bid
her wait and ho would return immediately
and pay her. I le hastened to the cttstle and
distributed the fruit among the young ladies
of the court, and had so much to say and
cut up so nian3' jokes that he forgot all a
bout the poor peasant woman at the castle
Kate. But she stood outside with her eyes
fixedly directed toward the castle to see
whether he would n t soon return. The
thought of her little children not having
anything to eat for so long a time, her
fear and anxiety increased every moment.
At one time she thought of huriying home
to look after her children, but again conclu
ded to wait a little longer, until night came
and eorniHjlied her to go. Faiiirued with
long standing up, faint with hunsrer, she !
tottered home, and when with heavy heart
she entered the cottaga, she missed the voi
ces of her children. Ve:e taer gone? A
las, the two little beys lay dead upon the
floor starved to death ! The mother broke
into transports of grief, now she would shed
bitter tears aud utter loud lamentations,
now her heart would boil over with rage
and revenge. Thus she passed the night
with the two little corpses. At the break
of day thi distracted woman took her two
dead children up in her arms and wandered
to the castle and demanded admission tothe
Count. When this was refused, she insis
ted with such impetuosity thnt it had to be
granted. The Count asked very compas
sionately what she wanted. But she laid
the Uead bodies of - her children upon the
floor, sank down on her knees, and exclaim
...1 "Tf
Flanders, you will now hold impartial jnd?-j
ment without regard to person. Do you
know who has murdered these children? lie
eats at your table, he springs from your
blood. Your son is the murderer. " Count
Liderik was amazed and had the whole oc
currence related to him, examined his son,
and secretly proceeded to the city, Teurnai.
There he submitted the case to the criminal
judges, without mentioning the name of the
youth. And the judges pronounced judg
ment and said "the youth had forfeited his
life." The Count went home and had his
son executed by the sword.
Speaking of the manufacture of artificial
flowers a Paris letter writer says: France
yearly, "consumes," that is the word ar
tificial flowers of the value of $. 000,000.
America is the best customer of France in
these articles, taking in the same time $1,
000,000, whilst $300,000 finds a market in
Prussia, and $600,000 worth is ?ent to Eng
land. Germany is a customer to the extent
of $-100,000 and Italy for somewhat leas.
No less than thirty thousand French arti
sans are employed in flower-work,' their wa
ges being paid by two thousand professional
fabrieateurs. The females receive from two
to four franca per day, the, meu from two
francs fifty centimes to five francs per day.
.' The Treasurer, of the Chicago Sunday
School Union reports receipts amounting to
$3,191,75. of which $2,345,08 were expen
ded for officers' salaries and $347,61 for in
cidentals. The Secretary reported 200 schools
in the city and county, with 36,085 pupils
and aa average attendance of 26,815. -

The Congressional Platform.
Political parties are always best distin
guished by their generic ideas and tenden
cies, rat her than by the specific measures
they may from time to time espouse. These
primary Jdeas aud tendencies remain perma
nently, while particular measures, having
met the exigencies for which thev were de
vised, tCase through -the natural progress of
events to be ot consoqueuce. j
The Republican party was organized to
resist the eucroachtnents of the Slave Power,
which had grown to such dimensions as to
menace Liberty with complete destruction.
It was io the order of things that "all who
loved Liberty, either for its intrinsic excel
lence aud beauty, or for its extrinsic utility
and beuificence, shoulAunite with this party
and contribute to the accomplishment of
the end it proposed. If any man had deci
ded at the beginning that this party could
be bet ter judged simply by the special mea
sures it advocated than by the convictions
lying back of all measures whatever, he
would have made a great mistake. This
was deuioustrated when in the course of tbe
rebellion it became necessary to strike at the
existence of Slavery. At that conjucture
the innate, tendencies of the party came into
exercise, and Slavery was overthrown.
Sif,on,the other hand, the Democratic
part y, in .best judged, not by its temporary
measures, but by its inherent tendencies. It
resisted .the hedging about of Slavery, be
eau4it liked that institution and would
trlauly have made it both permanent and na
tional.
The -country has reached a development
where the measures upon which the two
great political parties divided fouryears ago,
are effete, having subserved all the purposes
they were designed tor, and so become use
less as shibboleths. Nevertheless,the vital
izing ideas and tendencies of parties remain
essentially the same. - The Republican party
is still devoted to Liberty, which is evinced
in its demaud for the recognition of Equali
ty of Political Plights ; while the Democratic
party is still for Slavery, as is attested by the
vehemeuce of its protest, against the idea of
making meu equal, in all respects, before
the laws. Measures only have changed,
while the fundamental principles abide as
they were.
This inherent distinction leing understood,
it only becomes necessary for each political
party, as the next Presidential canvass ap
proaches, to define by what particular mea
sures, suited to the existing condition of af
fairs, it wjll symbolize its character and in
tentions. The Republican members of Con
gress, though not specially charged with this
duty, so far as relates to their party, occupy
a position in which they cannot help fore
sha lowing, with tolerable certainty,the lines
which the National Convention, when it
shad assemble, will authoritatively trace. So
far as t'no manifestations during the current
session' enable us to form an opinion, we
judge that the Republicans will insist on
these points. 1. That Reconstruction shall
be consummated in accordance with the plan
upon which the seceding States are now pro
ceeding. 2. That the industry of the coun
try shall be relieved, to the largest practica
ble extent, of the burden of taxation which
it now carries. 3. That the policy of con
tracting the paper currency shall cease. 4.
That the current expensesot the government
shall be ctit down to the lowest possible
point. 5. That the army shall be reduced
to a peace standard, nearly upon the basis
that existed before tbe war. 6. That ihe
aui'inentation of the navy shall be suspen
ded, and sales made of all vessels not needed
for actual service.
Of course, the five months that must
elapse before the meeting of the National
Convention may produce abatements or ad
ditions to this platform which cannot now
be foreseen. The. delegates will have the
advantage of reeehiiig credentials from the
constituencies of a later duty than those held
by Congressmen, and hence reflect more ac
curately the state of public opinion as it may
then appear. Still, we apprehend, that an
essential agreement will be found to exist
between the Convention and the Republican
side of Congress. Pittsburg Gazette.
During a recent revival a very reverend
c ergyman accosted a young brother with the
solemn question :
"My young friend, have you prayed to
night for the salvation of your immortal
soul?"
"io sir," answered the youth in a peni
tent tone, and with a downcast look.
"Do you desire to offer up thanks for the
many Wcrcies you have already received by
Divine favor ?" .
"Yes, but I don't know how," hesitating
ly answered the youth.
"Rut, my dear boy, you can repeat the
Publican's prayer, can't you ?" asked the
minister, gravely. -
"No, sir," was the emphatic response,
'Tin a Democrat."
A schoolmistress, while taking down the
names and ages of her pupils, and of their
parents at the beginning of the term, asked
one li'tle fellow: "What's your father's
name ?"
"O, you needn't take down his naraej
he's too .old to go to school to a woman,'
was the innocent reply.
'"What!' you drunk again!" "N"o, my
dear, , riot drunk, but a little slippery'- .The
fact is, my dear, some miserable, low-lived,
contemptible, puscbmiinous, skunk has been
rubbing my boots till they are as smooth as
greased lightning." . .
Wisconsin has paid over nine thousand
dollars bountyjthis year for wild animal skins
alone, which are suthcientiy valaaoie toieau
hunters to pursue them.
"It is well to leave something for those
who come after us,'1 as the man said who
threw a barrel in the way of a pursuing con
stable. ...

'JHE TRIBUNE FOR 1868.
PROSPECTUS.'
The year 1S68 will long le remembered for its"
settlement of ihe boundary question between ar-.
istocrucy of color and impartial human liberty.
The War of tbe Rebellion being closed, we have
now to decide whether tbe fundamental idea
whicn impelled and justified the Rebellion fh all
dominate over our whole couutry. moulding ner
institutions and shaping , her destiny. If it be j
true that God has not created all men. but only all
White men. in His own image, and made them'
equal in political ami -civil rights, then it is a,
world wide calumity that Grant did not surrender ,
to Lee at Appomattox ; and '-The Lost Canse, '
trodden into mire under the hoofs of Sheridan's
rough riding cavalry, not only should but will
be regained in Constitutional Conventions and at
the ballot-boxes. If the black race.becaase they
are black, should be excluded from the jury-box
and repelled from tbe ballot-box, then Stonewall'
Jackson ongbt to bead tbe roll of American mar
tyrs, emblazoned high above the names of War
ren and Mercer and Pulaski of Ellsworth, Lyon,
Baker. Reynolds, Wadsworth.Kearney-. Sedgwick,
and McPberson. :
It is difficult to argue with a blind, besotted
prejudice, grounded in ignorance and fortified by
self-cocceit. Devoid of reason.it is hardly amen-
able to reason. But millions who wold' listen '
unmoved to appeals based on Justice and Human-'
ity can be stirred by facts which affect their own7,
interest and safety. The naked truth that every
Southern State reconstructed on the White basis '
is to-day a Rebel Stated-shaped and ruled by men'
who execrated Lincoln's reluctant, and tardy re-"
sistanee to the Rebellion as a eau-eles and crim-I
inal agression. aud profoundly rejoiced ftveriial
Bunas their victory will prove, invincible, ix
we can but bring it home to the apprehension of '
every loyal voter. There is do paramount que-"
tionof good faith or gratitude to the blacks. Their
votes are as necessary to tbe preponderance of -white
loyalty as to their own pioteciion and secu-.
rity. Reconstruct tbe South on the white basis','
and every one of the fifteen States which held' -slaves
in 18(50 will be intensely, overwhelmingly '
Copperhead thenceforth and evermore.:; Allow
to-day tbe plea that the blacks are ignorant aed
degraded, and - those whom you thereby clothe'
with power will take good care that the plea shall
be as valid end well-grounded a century hence'
a it now is. Public Education and Civil Rights
for the Frecdmen can only be achieved and m i -taine.l
through the ballot. "We are for Negro ,

moie; aud the spirit which dictated that avowal
is still rampant in the South. But for what is
stigmatized as Military Despotism,' it would daily '
avenge by outrage and infliction what it deems '
negro treachery to the Southern cause.
The Tribune basdeclined to be lured or turned
aside from the main question. It has persistently
refused to swell the clamor for vengeance oa thai
defeated Rebels, whether by execution or by con
fiscation; and one of its strong reasons for this
course is B conviction that no drop of Rebel blood
could becooly, deliberately shed without eseeu-:
tially clouding the prospect of securing the right
of suffrage to the blacks. Defying the madnesa
of passion and tbe blindness of short-sighted
misconception, it has demanded 'Reconstruction
on the basis of Universal Amnesty with Impartial
Suffrage, in perfect coDSciousitess of the fact that .
it thereby alienated thousands who had been its
zealous supporters and life-long patrons. The'
hour of its complete vindication cannot' be far
distant.
As for the man who is to be the chosen standard
bearer of the Republican host in the impending
contest, while we avow our deliberate preference
of Chief Justice Chase as the ablest and most
eminent of our living statesmen, the TrihmHe will
render a hearty, cheerful, determined support to'
Gen. Grant, or Senator Wade, or Speaker Colfax;
should he be nominated aud supported on a plat- ,
form which affirms and upholds tbe equal politi
cal as well as civil rights of all citizens of the Re
public. We do not contemplate as possible the
support by Republicans of any candidate who
does not stand on this platform. And we do sot
apprehend that the candidates Who, in our ap
proaching struggle, shall represent genuine De
mocracy in opposition to tbe meanest phase of
aristocracy can be beaten if proper means be ays-'
tematically taken, as they must and will be, to .
enlighten and arouse the American people.
We will thank such friends as believe that the "
TrihiDir will prove an efficient and cheap way to .
influence the undecided, to aid us in extending its
circulation. Though ours is eminently a political
journal, but a small portion of its space is devo
ted to po:itics,wni!e an outlay ot more than tliuo,
000 per annum is incurred in collecting and trans
mitting news from all parts of the world We
have regular correspondents at nearly all tbe cap
itals of Europe, with a director at London, who
is authorized to dispatch special correspondents
to all points where important events may at any
time be transpiring or imminent. Tbe progress
of tbe war iu Crete, wbicb is the precursor of A
still greater war, has been watched by one of
these special correspondents, while another tele
graphs from Constantinople each novel phase of
tbe critical diplomatic situation. Every step of
Garibaldi's recent neroic though unfortunate en
terprise, from its inception to its cios, was noted
by our correspondents, who are also his most
trusted advisers ; while an esteemed member of
our editorial staff has just accompanied the Em
bassador of Juaiez to Mex co to Mian the Mexican
problem closely and under auspices mere favora-'
ble to the Republican chief than those which'
have colored tbe advices of our regular corre.-pon
dents at era Cruz and tbe Capital. Another
correspondent accompanied the first National ex.
pedition to Alaska, Walrussia. or whatever our
splinter of the North Pole may be called, and is
now reporting on tbe aspeots and capabilities of
that chilly region. Bayard Taylor is writing us
in his own vein from Central Europe; while able
correspondents report to us ftom Colorado, Idaho.,
Montana. Ac more copiously than we can find
room to publish. Our reviews of books and lit?
erary department are in charge of one Of the ri-,
pest American scholars; while Agriculture, under
a competent editor, claiiuB a leading plaee in eur:
weekly and semi-weekly issues,- In -short, we
have for yearS spent a large proportion of the in
come of our business in efforts to render the Tri
bunt a better and better newspaper; and. if we
have not succeeded, the fault is not explained by
a lack of means or of efforts, whether on our own
part or on that of a generous and discerning pub
lic. ''
