Mal-z the consequance: She was at the tune. on the point’ of marriage with a wry Worthy ntul respectable young gentlemnn ; hut ‘ut'h was the 'hold which the pro lictiun at him for» tune teller had taken/on he: imtagmntion. that she cquld nlwer from that time receive him with her “Rim! afiecttnnnte utlonlinn. Her lover quick y perce.viug this ch mge, endeavored to learn the cnusc of it; but finding his inquit'ivs inetl‘ectunl, as also any efi‘otta of his to rouse her to an explanation of her behaviour, which became more dis. taut, and, doubting the sincerity of her af faction. he, in the pout-. 58 nf’n little time, discontinued his Vinita altogether.

GENERAL JACKSON‘S MOTTO. - “Think before you apt, but when the time for action comes, stop thinking."/ This is the true doctrine. Many men fail in ltfe and go down to the gruve with hopes blasted and prospects of happiness unreali zed, because they did not adopt and act upon this motto. Nothing so prepares a man for action as thought ; but nothing so unfit: a man for action. Better by for adopt. some course and punuo it energeti cally, even though it may not be the best, than to keep continually thinking without action. "Go ahead” ought to be printed in every young man’s has, an! read until Lt becomes a pnrt of his nature, until he can act upon his judgmentuand not be turned from his course by eVei-y wind of interested advice. In conclusion, we would any, “Think before you act; but when the time ior actio comes, stop thinking.” . ———- ~~.» ~77 - Wonders of Geology.- More than nine‘ thonsnpfi difi‘erent kinds of animals have been changed into awne.‘ The races or gene“ of more than halfof these are now ex tinct, not being at present known in a liv ing state.

The terms granted to the troops of Lee and Johnston, will, doubtless, be ac cepted by the remainder of the rebel for cos, and thus, through the conciliatory 3 means which have so longbeen contended for. 1 peace will be restored and the authority of the Constitution and the laws re-gstablish ‘ed, throughout. the length and breadth of the land. We believe now. as. we have al ways believed, that the war might have been avoided, had the Congress of 1861 sub mitted to the Crittendeu Compromise to the people. or taken home other proper action to quiet the intense alarm in the South, of which the secession leaders were permitted to take advantage. Had this been done, what misery, what untold ngo< ny might have been averted from the heads of‘the American peoplel J‘wo millions of lives lost in this fraternal conflict: hun dreds of flourishing cities and beautiful vil lages. laid waste, or destroyed ; a country constituting physically. an empire within itself, devastated and impoverished; nay, ‘ what is far worse than loss of property. or, life, the civil convulsion which has left al chasm between the Northern and Southern l people‘ that only years of intercourse and mutuol forbearance can span ; these things I would not now be aatnin upon our history, l hall that infamous Congress done its duty. Again, we believe now, as we have always ’believed, that after hostilities had com menced. it was still possible to restore the Union by peaceful means, and that the war might have been ended long ago, upon I the same terms to the rebels which they‘ are now‘granted, had not the negro ques tion been permitted to stand in the way, and had the commanders of former expedi tions against Richmond been sustained by l the Administration as it sustained Gen. Grant. .Imbued with these ,convictions, we have always regarded with feelings of sympathy, the soldiers of our armies, who, l whether languishing in prisan, or fighting in the front, were compelled'to hear the burden of this awful war.

In 1817, amnn of the name of Clark.who Iwas a spy. or—to call it by a polite name—- is “detective.” in the employ of the British 'Government, was popularly believed to ..hnve acted as a stool-pigeon; in other words, i to have tried to induce persons to do un lawful acts, in order to expose them to 2prm-ccution and punishment. The admin ‘ istration had been disturbed by rumors nt‘ ioonspirncies among the working men in 'certnin manufacturing districts. and- the ,individunl above named was sent, with ?others, to seek out the facts. and report 'them to the authorities. Not finding any ,conspiracy, rather than his mission should flail, he set out to manufacture one, or was I thoughtto have done so ; which belief was I the occasion of is pretty general expression lol'Britisb opinion, touching the honesty of such practices, and the honor ot‘ those who Jipermit themselves to be made the instru gments in carrying them into execution.— . Men of any rank and station who had cOunJ len-mood Mr. Clark. or cooperated with ‘him. hastened to deny that they had any Iknowledge of his designs; and to express the utmost horror of such proceedings.— l'l‘he ministry were compelled publicly to {disavow his authority ; and th’o pepulnr in ‘dignstion at what was thought an act of ad lmmistrstive perfidy extended all over the ;kingdom. It was said that such a mission would be undertaken only by the meanest of mankind; that the oaths of such per sons ought not to be believed in any court which had regard to justice; and that to look upon them in any other light than as obscene beasts of prey or noxious reptiles, would be an insult to all honorable m'en.

Y. Daily News, May 5 i The Tribune, to our great surprise, to our ‘ greater regret. attempts to fasten upon the ‘ Roman Catholic religion a responsibility ‘ for the assassination of Mr. Lincoln. This l is done. it is true, by insinuation, but that i kind of attack is more unjust and ungenev ‘ rous than direct accusation. It says of the 1 counties of Prince George’s. Charles and St. Mary’s, in Maryland, that “they have been in ardent and active sympathy with the re , bellion from the outset;” that “the plot to ‘ assassinate President Lincoln and other chiefs of our Government had‘here many of its _ramifications. Booth had roamed over it dhy after day while preparing to commit his meditated crime With the least possible risk; hither he had fled with his more immediate acuomplice for shelter and succor the moment his crime was complete. and here he was hidden and nursed until he was able to make his way across the river into Virginia. And nowhere, within the preponderantly' loyal States, was there an other region half so well titted for his pur pose, or so well atfected toward his horrible enterprise.” It is doubtless true that Booth. immedi ately before and after the perpetration of his crime, was within the limits of the counties so described ; but thatcircumstance is probably due to the vicinity of that re gion to the scene of the assassination.— Booth could not have well avoided being in Maryland immediately after he left the district of Columbia, and we cannot under stand why the counties in question should be denounced on account of their geograph ical position. But why does the Tribune commence its list of charges against those counties with' the assertion that “they are predominantly Roman Catholic in faith 2" Is that fact one of the counts in the indict‘ men” It is evidentnhat the Tribune would have it appear so, for otherwise there would be no iignificance in ita allusiontq the reli gious faith of those commhnities. ' A majority of the soldiers who have served in the Federal ranks throughout this war are of the religious persuasion that is thus denounced by the Tribune. The camps of Grant and Sherman are “predom; inantly Roman Catholic in faith", I: that a reason why the loyalty of those veterans shall be doubted, or are they, therefoze, to be considered in sympathy with the mur derer, or"well affected toward this horrible enterprise ‘i” We beseech our cott-mpora‘ ry n’otto foment a religious war, as nsequel to the political one that is about. to close. ”we.“ ——-—————- THE PROSPECTS. The prospects of this Demoerscy are looming up. Tlie in'ture of our country is brightening. As the excitementcnused by the war abates,‘and the fear of conscription and heavier taxation is removed, the peo~ ple begin to reflect. They cannot but see that the troubles through which we have pissed are but the efi'ects of trusting the reins of power in the hands of puritsn abo litionists; and who’ can doubt the result when such a conclusion is reached. A co‘ temporary has well said that “the end of the war is the beginning of Democratic ss cendnncy." Everything verifies the truth of this assertion. Not an election that has passed for months. city, borough, or town ship, but show a largely increased Demo cratic vote, with a corresponding decrease of shoiitionism; and this change will con tinue—it must continue until übolitionism is wiped out of the Keystone State. We do not know when the prospects of the Dem. ncracy were brighter than they are to-day'; when there was more enoopragement tor those who ciing to the faith of their fathers, to go to work. with the certainty of success to cheer them.on. Surely, then, when the “cmrent of events” run- so strongiy in our favor, we.who believe in the doulrines of Jefl‘erson, of Jackson, and Monroe—who believe that the hopes of the country are bashd upon the tr mmph of Democtstio principles, will not fail to do our duty.— Let us to work, then—an hoar’s labor new is worth a week’s effort just on the vetge of an election . li’atclmum. . BE-UNION. With the endof the War end the re-union of the States, there should he a restoration to the Democratic fold, of all who, on ac count of is mistaken sense of duty, wonder ed therefrom, pending the revolution which hesjust ended. We do not refer to those politicians who, for the sake of office or emolument, apostaeized from the Demo erotic faith. They have eaten the forbid den fruit, and the gateway to the Democrat ic Eden is forever closed against them. But those who imagined it to be their duty, whilst the war lasted. to ‘support the Gov ernment,’ h: supporting the Administration potty, can, now that the war is over, con- Bistently return to their old places in the Democratic runks. In fact, they can go no where else, unless they give up all the principles of goverment which they have so long maintained and sheriehed. President Johnson himself declared. a few day: ago, that he could not now change the political view: which he has held ell his life, in order to adopt the theories of thee who favor centralization and deny the Retricc of States Rights. Let us then have a re-union of the Democracy. mutual ly forgiving and forgetting the differences of the pest. and only looking forward to the good of the country, to be promoted through the agency of our time-honored party—Bayard Guam.
