How long will you scorn the Constitution and the Un ion of the States, burn the one, and de nounce the other as a "league with death and ft covenant with hell ?'' Will you Abolitionists forever contemn the flag, and with Horace Greeley assail it as a "flauntinir lie," and "hate's polluted ra?," and exhort its enemies to "tear it down" and deep sink it in the waves," and yet, from the most corrupt and selfish motives you pretend to Jve the Constitution, and respect the Uuion, and adore the flag, our national ensign, the Ted white and blue.

One of his deacons had a very charming daughter, and for a year or two tne Dominie found it very pleasant to call upon her three or four times a week, in fact, the neighbors said that jhe was courtin her, and very likely he was, though he had not the re motest suspicion of it himself. ; On Monday evening, he was sitting as usual by her side, when a sudden idea popped into his head. "Miss Mary, said he, "I've known you a long time, and I never thought of. such a thing before, but now I would like vou to rive me a kiss! Will you?" "WefiV.Mr. Brown," replied she, arching her lips in a tempting-way "if jou think it would not be wrong, 1 would have no objections." . "Let us ask a blessing first," said the good man, closing hi3 eyes and folding his hands. "For what we are about to receive, the Lord make us thankful."

BY FATJL CIEYTON. Mr. Benjamin F. Derby returned to town and to his lodgings at Mrs. Covey's rather sooner than ha was expected. Itwaslate in the evening, and havinjj entered by means ot nis night tey, and hnding nobody stirring, he walked leisurly up to his room. This was the apartment Mr. Derby had al ways occupid in Mrs. Covey's house, but on this occasion it seemed very little like home. Before leavine town" he had carefully nut away all his clothes in his trunks, and dunn? nis absence other revolutions had been made in the room which gave it a different air. Not the least agreeable thing in the room was darkness. Mr. Derby had entered with out a lamp expecting to find that desirable article in the old place ; but after knocking oyer an ink bottle, a vate, and snuff box, in his blind search, he concluded that the wisest course would be to stop (swearing and go to bed in the dark. In no very good humcr Mr. Derby began to undress. To return home after an ab sence of two weeks, and to be obliged to go to bed in such a dismal manner, almost broke his heart . lie might have rung for the ser vants it is true, and he might have reflected that his friends were excusable since thcydid not expect him ; but Mr. Derby chose tore main angry and silent ' ( - - - "And where is Margiiret Maria?" mut tered the unhappy man. "Oh faithless dauffhtcr of an unfeelini' landlady I T didn't expect this from you I When I tore myself irom your arms two weeks ago you protested with tears in your eyes and perfidy in your heart that a-ou would watch, with the anxious eyes of love, for my return ! Oh, this looks like it I Jjven now, 1 know you are making yourself merry with somj fresh conquest, or, if you are sleeping under this roof, you are dreaming of pleasure in which I have no share." So fcaying, Mr. Derby threw his trousers on a chair, and began to grope his way in darkness to the head of the bed. At this moment a merry laugh, close to his chamber door, startled : him. Mr.-Derby- paused. . r "3Iargaret Maria's laugh, by all that is false!" groaned Mr. Derby. "She said fhe would do nothing butsifh and weep during my absence and hear her! ah, she laughs again the false hearted " Mr. Derby's reflections were suddenly in terrupted by a hand graf ping his door latch. With considerable trepidation he flew to lock the door, but before he could reach it a mer ry laugh, a blaze of .light and two girls burst into the room. ' Now Mr. D. was a rery modest person, and it was a lucky circumstance for him that the closet door, was ajar, and retreat conve nient, and his limbs active. He dodged out of sight before the girls had time to cast their eyes about them, and soon the door was shut and his ears pinned back. "What time do you suppose it is?" asked Margaret Maria. "There, the bells are striking twelve. Oh, hain't we had a gay time, Susan?" ' "Gay enough, ' ' was Susan's reply. ' 'Ha ! ha ! but wouldn't your poor, ; dear, absent Derby be amused if he knew ' ' , "Ila ! ha, ha," laughed Margaret Maria.' "My poor, dear, abstnt Derby! That is too good ; if he knew, poor fellow, it would break his hearty He thinks I do nothing but sigh and cry during his absence. Am I such a goose?" - "Such a goose ?" Oh, groaned Derby painfully interested. "Such a goose! "echoed Sue. "Hewould not think so if he had seen you eating the oysters with Dan Bobbins." "I only hope.." -added Margaret, "..hat he will keep away a week longer." - "So that we can have this room?" "No not exactly tha t but Dan has in vited me to go to a ball on Thursday uight, and you know I couldn'c go if my poor, dear, absent Derby, should come back in the mean time." - Derby was trembling with cold and wrath. "You mean to marry Derby, then?", asked Susan. "I suppose I shall," said Margaret gaily. "I like to flirt with Dan, and if he had as many dollars as my poor, dear, absent Derby "You would choose Dan?" ' "To be sure I would. He ain't such a such a fool as " " "Derby. Ha! ha! But what's this? A coat, a pair of pantaloons!". , . "Gooints' gracious! How did they come here?" . .. Derby was trembling, with excitement burning with rage, but now he felt a new source of unensiness. The discovery of his pantaloons might lead to the discovery of himself. Had he been Ires.sed, he woul have liked nothing better than to confront the perfidious Margaret but for the present it was not to be thought of. He felt himself blushing all over, in spite of the cold. To his relief, however, the girls after making out that there was nobody iu or under the bed, did not seem disposed to inquire into the mystery of the pantaloons, but Margaret exclaimed : . t . - . "I'll tell you what'l will do, Sue. I'll dress myself in these clothes, and go into the widow Slade's room. he'll think it's a man and won't she be frightened?" , "Frightened? No," Maid Snsan. "She's had two husbands." But do it. See what she will say." . . "I will. Here, help me, Sue. Ha! ha! And here's a hat too. How kind in some body to leave all his clothes here." Derby, poor, dear. present Derby, was breathing very hard, hij heart beat heavily, and every nerve shook. What the deuce was he to do if Margaret went off with his pants he could in no 'fray determine; and from the exceedingly interesting conversa tion which was going on, he knew that his worst fears Were to be nialized. "Oh! ainjt it a fit," cried Margaret "Only turn up the trousers five or six inches and I shall be fixed. Here, black my upper lip with this piece of ccal. . I shan't make love to you.' . Ha! ha! aint I a dashing fel low?? . - ., - . And Derby could hear somebody kissing somebody, and spmebody laughing as if she could not help it. ' . . ;--.: - A moment after the girlshadleft the room, Derby stole timidly from his biding place. ; Margaret had taken the lamp and his clothes with her; she had left darkness and her own clothes behind. A happy thought struck unhappy Derby." In all haste he enrobed himself in Margarets gewn, then he put her shawl over his shouldeis, and threw on her bonnet and TeiL : In frre minutes .he was ready to follow the girla During this time them was a great deal of laughing upstairs. Margaret, in Derby's attire, went to Mrs. Shxle a room, who was a little startled at first, but who took thing3 very cooly, until she fo"nd out it "was not a man after all, when phe virtuously rave vent t i her indignation." 1 The adventurers next proceeded to the attic, where the girls were sound asleep.' Susan having placed the lamp in the passage, hid behind tho door, while Margaret entered, and awoke Jane Woods with a violent shower of kisses. Jane tittered a faint scream, and demanded in a whisper' 'Who are you "Sh," raid Margaret' - n 1 . Jane hushed accordingly, until she saw the strange figure proceeding to Mary Clark's pillow, when she concluded it was her duty to scream.' Mary screamed too, after she had been several times kissed, and Sarah Jones joined in the chorus, until her mouth was stop ed by a hasty buss. ' "Is it you, George?" she whispered. At this moment the strange figure, vhich had been seen by the light in the " passage, ran out, and Susan, catching up the lamp, ran in. "Why, what is the matter?" she cried in pretended astonishment. "There's been a man in the room." "He was kissing Sarah Jones." "He didn't kiss me. He was kissing Mary Clark." - - "Me! I guess I would have torn his eyes out. It was Jane Woods he kissed." Susan was very much astonished of course and the girls were all very indignant, and not one of them would confess that she had been kissed, until Susan pointed out the marks of the coal moustache on -all their faces, and called Margaret Then there was a great deal of laughing, and Margaret, hav ing gallantly kissed them all, again set out to go down stairs. 1 But now it was Derby's turn to have a lit tle fun, and Margaret's to be astonished. As Susan advanced, the lamp she carried revealed a frightful looking object at the foot of the stairs. It was apparently a woman of gigantic stature ; her dress was so short that her bare feet and ankles could be seen distinctly, and she waved her large bony hand at the terrified girls majestically as a ghost. Never were two mischief makersmore fright ened by an apparition. Susan dashed her self against the wall. Up went a scream and down came the lamp. The oil covered the stairs, and Margaret fainted and stepped in it. At that moment the tall woman be ing Derby himself cried "Bobbers ! help ! murder 1" at the top of his voice, and stepped into his room, locking the door behind him. Before Margaret recovered her scattered senses, all the boarders were astir ; Susan rushed into Mrs. Slade's room, and Margaret would have followed her, but Susan, in her terror shut her out. Next Margaret tried her mother's door, and her mother hearing the alarm, appeared at that moment, and terrified by the coal moustache and smashed hat, took her daughter for the robber, drop hed her lamp and screamed fearfully. Mar garet, as much frightened as her mother, would have caught her in her arms, but Mrs. Covey would hear no explanation, nor allow her daughter to approach, but pushed her out of the room with great trepidation. Then Margaret ran to Derby's room, which she f uziid locked. At that moment, Ned Perkins; the oldest man in the Louse rush ed out of his room with a lamp in one hand and a sword cane in the other, ready drawn for combat Ned flew at the supposed rob ber, and would have seized her in an instant, if she had not properly seen fit to faint at the sight of his naked sword and legs, and fall down before Mr. Derby's room. Her hat now came off, her hair streamed down her neck, and Ned recognized Margaret Anybody can imagine the scene of confu sion which followed.- The imprudent girl found herself surrounded by half a dozen half-dressed figures, some wondering, some trembling with terror. But it was the se verest cut for Margaret, when the door of Derby's room opened, and the , tall appari tion appeared. As soon as the screaming had subsided the figure removed its veil. "Don't be flighted, Margaret," he said, "it's nobody but your poor, dear, absent Derby.' That's all." Can you fancy her feeling? ? Mr. Derbj could, as he entered the room again, locked the door, and went to bed overjoyed at what had occurred. He slept soundly, and awoke in the morning as completely cured of his love for Margaret, as if he had seen her turned into a grizzly bear. ClYMER GETS THE PAINTING. At a fair for the benefit of the lVesbjterian church at Mechar.icsburg, last week, an oil painting of George Washington was put up to be voted for at ten cents a, vote. The understanding was that the painting was to be presented to the candidate for Governor having the largest number of votes. The Clyiner tick ets were deposited in one box, and the Geary tickets in another. The voting was kept up with great spirit for three days, and on Sat urday evening the tickets were taken from the boxes and counted. They stood : Clymer. 2,391 Geary 1,447 Majority for Clymer. .....944 That will do ! The Gearyites made des perate efforts to get the painting for their candidate. They wrote to negro suffrage men all over the country, beseeching aid, on account of "this being Geary's own coun ty," &c. They worked and begged day and night, but all to no purpose. The friends of Clymer were also quietly at work, and we congratulate them on the result of this con test as an indication of what may be expected this Fall in old Mother Cumberland. Stand to jour guns, Democrats, and all will be well in October. Carlisle Volunteer. A Sponge Bath. Kendall, of the New Orleans lyicayune, relates the following, which occurred in his presence recently at Baden, in Germany: At this juncture we were joined by an English party, when the subject matter brought under discussion was bathing. "I take a cold shower bath every morning when at home," said John Bull. "So do I," re torted Brother Jonathan. "Winter and Summer," continued the Englishman. V3Iy system exactly," said the Yankee. "Is your weather and water cold?" inquired John Bull "Bather chilly," continued Jona than. "How cold?" inquired .John. "So cold that the water all freezes as it pours down my back and rattles upon the floor in the shape of .hail!" responded the Yankee with the same cunning twinkle of the eye. "Were you in the next room to me in Amer ica," he continued, "and could hear me as I am taking my shower bath pf a morning, you would think I was pouring dry beans upon my back." The Englishman shrug ged his shoulders as with a chill and mar velled. ' " . '" . ..

"Comment is unnecessary-" Awkward Legislation. A number of liquor dealers in Massachusetts had been con victed of violating the liquor laws, and were subjected to fines. The Legislature passed a new law changing the penalty for the of fence, and the new act is contended to be an ex post facto law as to persons previously con victed, and as the old law is repealed, they have escaped all punishment. In Boston and its neighborhood it is stated that over 1,500 persons escaped, whose fines would per haps have amonn ted to $1,000,000 Every third "Bepublican" you meet pro fesses to be opposed to Negro Suffrage. So far so good. Now, who is the representative of the Negro Suffrage party in Pennsylvania ? Who willbe supported by Thaddeus Stevens, Wm. D. Kelley, John M. Broomal and the balmce of the Negro Suffrage Congressmen, for Governor of Pennsylvania ? The answer is, without the shadow of a doubt, John W. Geary. How, then, can "llepublicans" who are opposed to Megro Suflrage, vote for Geary for Governor. A NEW style of head-dress is just out It called the "Silverina," from its beinir IS made of silver.

CAMPAIGN SONGNo. 1. BY raven. .diV Jefferson and Li'erty. Ye Democrats bo vvide awake, And of the times advantage take ; On this Campaign there's much at stake, Your country's Liberty. We've stood together in many a storm, And often felt the Tyrant's arm, But now we need not feel alarm, For we shall soon be free. Chorus : Hurrah, Columbia's sons, Hurrah, One effort more and we are free, We'll vote for Clymer and the law, For Constitutional Liberty. We've battled for each freeman's right, -Though sometimes worsted in the fight, . We never yet have lost the sight Of white men's Liberty. The Constitution and the laws, Have been the objects of our cause, And we're determined ne'er to pause Until success we see. Chorus : Hurrah, Columbia's sons, Sec. To no false issue turn aside, But on the rock of Truth abide, Although Conservatives deride, And Bad icals may rave. For principles and not for men, ' For Liberty and not for gain, For freedom's old and wide domain We labor now to save. Chorus : Hurrah, Columbia's sons, &c. Give credit for each manly act, Acknowledge every noble" fact, Defend the right whene'er attacked, No matter done by whom. But to none we'll turn around. We say to all, wherever found, That on this old, time-honored ground ' We welcome all that come. Chorus: Hurrah, Columbia's sons, &c. We'll join the true with heart and hand, To drive the tyrant's from the land, To oust the Abolition band This nigger loving crew.

Studying Politics under Diffi culties. An old farmer in the interior of Ohio writes to the Cincinnati Comnicrcial, among other readable matters, the following, which is too good to be lost, and too true to be forgotten : ' One day, some time ago, John had been to the station for me and brought home a paper that was filled with a great many speeches,' that had been made about a bill that our President had seen fit to disapprove of. Well, 1 took the paper to my corner, and, although it was all in very small print and tried my eyes very much, I read it ev ery bit. My good wife got tired of my for ever sitting there, pouring over those long "borations " as she termed them, and said that I would do well to be reading my Bible more, and such productions less. "Wife," said I, "the kingdom of heaven isn't in any particular danger just now, but my country is." After that she said nothing more about it to me. But the more I read in that paper the more bothered 1 became. I read a long speech by Mr. Henry Beccher, who seems to know so much about everything but divinity, and I liked it because he supported our Presi dent, and our President, 1 thought, must be in a very trying position now-a-days. Then I was upset by Mr. Phillips, who went into Mr. B. like 1 have seen little boys attack hornets' nests in the winter time. "If Rich men differ," said I, "who will de cide?" I had alwaj-s before thought these two would agree though the earth split Then I turned over the leaf wrong and commenced on the latter part of somebody else's speech. I liked it so much that I read on and on until I finished it. "Surely," said I to myself, "surely we have got one good and true man in the land." The tone of the sjeech reminded me of the good old fashioncd "farewell address" of General Washington, and I thanked God and took courage. Then I hunted up the beginning of the speech, and could not believe my eyes when 1 saw Alex. II. Stephens' name to it I thought it must be Thaddeus Stevens, as he was "Union," though the composition was very much unlike the style of the gentle man from Pennsylvania. "Wife "said I; "look here; my gl are a little dim ; is that Alex. II. ?" asses "Alex. 11. said she. "Not Thaddeus," said I. "Not Thaddeus," said she. "Is the last name spelt with a 'v,' or with a'ph'?" . "Ph," said she, "and -what are you rcad ing rebel speeches for, Td like to know. He's the Slice President of the Confedera cy, and ought to be hanged in a sour apple tree instead of being loose and making bo rations. I My wife is a little nebulous about names and titles, but she is a thorough-going Un ion woman, and hates rebels with a perfect hatred. She was chairman of an aid society during the war, and many a time I've waked up in the night and found her still sittine bv the dying fire, knitting socks for the poor soldiers wno were a lying out on the cold ground with nothing but their knapscats and pontoons to cover them. J Then I found that the speech was ad dressed to the Georgia Legislature, and I knew that "Thad" would never take the trouble to tell erring people how to go right, though he is great on abusing them . wnen they go wrong. . .

It is organization. Through most of the States, and through most parts of every State, Democrats are as thoroughly disorganized a mass of voters aa the demon of disorder could wish. We want, in time, to tell the Democratic party that a disastrous defeat is before them, next Fall, unless they bestir themselves betimes. The winking and nodding of Democratic political managers, at the last moment, will fail, as it has failed, most shamefully, in years lately Sast Let us face the true position: Andrew ohnson, President of the United States, has been deluded by Seward and his friends, into the absurd idea of building up a new party neither Black Bepublican nor Dem ocratic, but some Urriumguid some 'black neutral of the third sex.' If that game could win, President Johnson would, as a matter of course, be over-slaughed, ' and Seward would come out as the head of this party of "the third sex." It will be a failure. V It cannot win. But, in the attempt, Seward and his friends are bamboozing President Johnson. Seward & Co. are in mortal dread of the Democratic party. They know that Democrats can accept Andrew Johnson as their candidate in 1868. They know that, under no circumstance, can they accept Sew ard, the ornamental head-piece of the 'ir repressible conflict."' Hence the efforts for the utter destruction of the Democratic par ty. President Johnson, so far, has fallen into their trap. He is not using his Executive patronage to promote his Executive program me. It is from no memory of our ancient traditions when Washington and Jefferson, as Virginia freemen and gentlemen, refused to require the office holders of their admin istrations to support their policy. All such high notions are discarded now. " It is done now, as a matter of political craft. The plain Lnglish ot it is that President John son has men in his Cabinet who are plotting against him, personally, while by wily flat teries, they arc bindiug him to their proceed ings. Seward, and Stanton, and Speed, while pretending to differ from each other, -all see ej-e to eye. They are all agreed in the plan of consigning Andrew J ohnson to complete obscurity, at tho close of his pres ent political term. - ' - Now, being an honest man, we will say, bluntly, that for Audrcw Johnson, personal ly, we care not, as respects this world, One continental damn I We have no respect for him, and never expect to have any. Were he to.be declared President for life of the late United StateSj we would refuse to : shake hands with him, except he could, in some marvellous manner, purge himself of com plicity in the murder of Mrs. Surratt," Wirz, and various other innocent people. But, with all that, if he so showed himself as that there was a reasonable prospect that, henceforth, he would administer tne Government of the United States in a manner advantageous to the common interests of all the States, we would work for his election as President in 1868, and again, in 1872, and again, in 1876, if he desired it at that period. ' " , That means that we look on the Presiden tial office in the United States Government as no post of honor ! How can it be, after the execrable way it was handled by Ldncoln, with Seward as his mentor ? We look upon it as a constabulary duty to be discharged. Whoever discharges its du ties aright, we are in favor of keeping in for fear worse may happen by a chanfce. . We mean- to warn the Democratic party that President Johnson is habitually bam boozled, and that the vast majority of the tremendous Executive patronage in all the Departments, is used ayainxt the President, and against all the conservative principles of our Government We wbh to say, once more, and we will repeat it often hereafter, Democrats must organize and enroll, and that on a declared support of the few fundimen tal first principles of Jeffersonian Democra cy. The Democracy unorganized, in the va rious localities, will be as the chaff before th5 wind. Our foes, the" "Union Leagurers," are thoroughly organized. We say, in tho most earnest terms, to Democrats, if you are not organized and enrolled, in your various neighborhoods if you arc trusting to the afflatus of public meetings for victory .you will be sadly disappointed. N. Y. Fret man t Journal. A first-rate joke took place quite recently in our court-room. A woman was testifying in behalf of her son, and swore "that he had worked on a farm ever since he was born." The lawyer, who cross-examined her, said : "You assert that your son has worked on a farm ever since he was born." Says she : "I do." "Then," said the lawver, " what did he do the first year?" "ie mtZrwri," said she, and the lawyer evaporated. Bemember, it is not what people cat but what they digest, that makes them strong. It is not what they gain but what they gave that makes them rich. It is not what they read lut what they remember, that makes them learned. It is not what they profess but what they practice that makes them strong.
