The violet eyes lie shaded deep Beneath the white lids closing; The cheeks flushed faint with rosy sleep, The dimpled hands reposing— The sweet red lips hold half apart— Smiles coming and retreating; Ood bless and keep tho little heart, . Within the white breast beating, As baby sleeps. The tiny, restless, busy feet Lie in cradle nestling— The clinging arm, full, white and sweet, Upon the pillow restinfg ; Close out the burst of noise and glare— Harsh sound and harsher seeming-- And let the soft, sweet siiiiituer air Float gently through his dreaming, As baby sleeps. And life and time go hurrying on, Their varied meshes weaving; And Ileaven is lost. and Heaven is won, And joy gives place to grieving. The Pinot user comes, the summer flies, And brings the Autumn's glory— While mill my darling's violet eyes Repeat the same old story That imhy sleeps.

A valet-de-place, who was leading as to church on Sunday morning in Madrid, F poke very fair English, and I :vied hint where he kid learned it. Ile said : "At the wissioitry's selinel in Constantinople - Ile was quite a polyglot, professing to be able to spook seven languages fluently. It was. interesting to meet a youth who knew our mi m ior i gne, there, and entertained a great respect for his old teachers.—and it gave MI an idea, toe, of thc indirect influence which such schools must be exerting, when youth are trained in them, and afterwards embark in other callings than those that are religious in their purpose. Ile led us to the Prussian Ambassador a, where the ohaplain preaches in the French language. No Protestant preaching is al lowed in Madrid—none, indeed, in Spain, —except under the nag of another Govern ment. The Ambassador,or the Consul, has the right of course, to regulate his own household as he pleases; and under this necessary privilege, he has, if ho is so die posed, a chaplain, and , divine service on Sunday, when his doors are opened to all who choose to . attend. The practical work ing of it is that a regular congregation comes to be cetablised under each flag, if there so ninny persons of that country and of a religious mule:it:yes to make it impor tant. In most of the great- capital of Eu rope, there are people of other countries resident for business, health, or pleasure, and they find a ohm or worship in their own tongue. In Spain and Home only— write it in large letters and tell all the world, to the infinite shame of the religion falsely called Catholic—no religious worship is except that which the Ambassador, under the flag of his country, can maintain in his own house and at the point of his country's sword. The Germans resitle.nt in Madrid speak the French language, as well as their own, and the present chaplain preaches in French. Ile is an earnest, excellent man, and his pulpit abilities would make him greatly useful in a wider sphere than this. In an upper chamber, that would scat fifty per sons, a little congregation, not more than twelve or fifteen, had conic together to hear the Word. The desk, or pulpit, was habit• ed after the fashion in Germany, with black hangings, embroidered neatly by the Lauds of the wife of the Prussian Ambassador, and with the words in French, "Go ye into all the weld and prtach the Gospel." I war told that the Christmas and liseter,festi val, of the Church, souse two or three hun dreds of German Christians come to church and to timid:n[lllmillion; but the rest of the year their spiritual wants do not require the weekly ordinances, and the congregation rarely exceeds thirty people. At the protient moment. there Is as little religious toleration in Spain as in the days when Popery was most fearfully alive and Carlin 11 Xim , ,nes undertook to convert all 4..7. 41.1c4„....

Several thousand sent over by the . British and Foreign Bible Society have been seized by Government, and are now lying in boxes in a cellar, to be sent back or destroyed. All attampts to spread the light of Divine Truth, through any other than the channels of the Church of Rome, aro prohibited, and it is a high crime against the law, or the royal will, which is the highest law in Spain, to preach or distribute religious books. This puts an end to all coloring° and to evangelical ef forts of every kind. The Queen is the most religious of all queens, but her religion is after the patert of Saul, not of Paul. 10.00 14,00 114.110 20.00 :10.00 811.00 We went after church to the old Palace of the Inquisition. It is now converted into dwellings. Over the main entrance was the inscription, common all over these foreign countries as in some parts of our own, "In sured Against Fare." The poor victims who in former years were dragged under that portal, would have been glad to read such words, if they could be ;ntorpreted into an assurance that they were to be safe from the fire of an auto (la fe. The Spanish Inquisition affords the sad dest story in the annals of the human race. Whatever the name or creed of the prose cutor—Jew or Gentile, Roman, Greek, Protestant or Mahometan—the saddest of all possible facts is this, that man has put to torture and to death his fellow man on account of his religious opinions. Lot God be praised that in all the earth except Spain and Rome, men may worship Him in their own way, with none to molest or make them afraid. And it is very well to boar in mind that persecution has its spirit and souse of its power, where the victims ore by law insured against fire. In the press and io the pulpits the venom of bigotry and the bitterness of intolerance may be poured on the heads of those who are guilty of other opinions than ours, and in God's sight such persecution may be as offensive as the rack and boot of the inquisition. The sqirit of the Master rebukes the use of the sword, eveu in the handa of Peter, to cut off a servant's ear, and the same spirit forbids us to be unchar itable towards the meanest of theses who have not the light or the grace to see as we see, or to defend Christ in our way. Well it requires all this charity and more, to imagine that a people can have any prop er idea of tho - Chtistian religion, and spend the Sabbath as these Spaniards do. To see them at it, we must go where they most en joy it. They have no cathedral in Madrid, but their churches are many, and in the morning they, women especially, go to church. The Spaniards are wore devout than the Italians. Infidelity has not made so touch progress. There is a proverb that to go to Rouse is to disbelieve. The people in Spaiu has not seen Itotuanism as it has been seen in Italy, until the popular mind is sick of it. But they make abort work iu Spain of' their devotions. The I'redo is their Park on the skirts of' tho town. And this is not enough for them on Sundays. We saw the crowds pouring out towards one of the gates, some in car riages, but most of them on foot—inen, wo men and children, hundreds, thousands, in holiday attire—and we followed. Beyond the Alcala gate, near which is the bull ring' half' a utile into the country, we came to the meadows over which these pleasure-seeking Castilians had spread themselves to enjoy their national and favorite pastime. A little later in the season, when the weather is warmer, thousands of these people would stop at the bull-ring, an see the battle of men and beasts. It is too cool as yet, and the hulls do not fight well except in hot weather. But it is not too cool to dance out of doors, and fur this ,divertisomeut these thousands have come. On the wide mead ows there is not a house, not a shanty, not a shed or booth. We have passed on the way scores of wine shops ; and there the people can resort if they choose. But on the grounds there is nothing to ha had but the pure and the blow* air. The people are distributed in groups all over the plain. The grass is green. The sun, a winter sun, is kind and genial. The city lies in full view with palates and domes and pinaeles. And in the distance, but in this blazing sun and lucid atmosphere apparently very near, long ranges of mountains stand covered with snow white, pure, glistening like silver in the sun light and forming a magnificent background to the gay picture at our feet. In the centre of each of those many groops a dozen, more or less, of young mon and women, are danc ing to music. This is furnished by one,two or three musicians, strolling bands, with guitars and violins. Often one is an old man blind. his wife and daughter aro with him with their instruments. The airs are not wild, not even lively, as compared with those of Italy. But they aro spirited, and some times lineally to the foreign ear ; for the airs of music, like the airs of' heaven, travel all around the world. The dances are pretty and modest, singularly tame, and far from being as full of frolic and abandon as one would expect to see in the out-of' door am use- MCI) Li of the common people. For these are the lower classes only. It is the pastime of the sons and daughters of toil, and perhaps want. They were not ill dressed, and some of them were well dressed. But they ap peared to be the class of people who had but this day in the week for pleasure, and were now hooking and finding it in a way that cost them little or nothing. More were looking on than danced. Yet the seta chap. god frequently, and the circle widened as the number- of dancers grow. and them was al- BLCOMSBMtG, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1868. ways room for more ; for the meadows wore wide, and the heavens was a roof large enough to cover them all. And the strangest part of this perform ance is yet tube mentioned 1 more than half the wen iu this frolic of the fields were sol diers of the regular artily, in their uniforms without anus, enjoying a half holiday. They and all the rest, men and women, seemed to be as happy as happy could be. If we had thought the people of Spain, and especially of Madrid, where the governmentis felt and seen more severely and nearly than elsewhere to be gleemy, sullen, discontouted, miserable and ready to rise in revolt, such a thought would be put to rout by seeing those soldiers and others, men and wumen:;thousamlo: and thousands, making themselves so easily hap py of a Sunday afternoon. In one of the circles of dancers two young men, better dressed than the rest, were either the worse for liquor, or were feigning to be tipsy. As the other dancers paid no attention to them, and let them amuse them selves in their own way, it is quite prob able they were playing the foul. These were the only persons in the multitude, of the lower orders of the city, who gave any sign of having been drifting anything that could intoxicate. There were scores of wine shops on the street, within the easy walk of all.who wish liquors. It was woassary to pass them going and coming to and from the city.— And thousands doubtless "took. something to drink" both going and cowing. The young men would treat the girls, and, of course, all would have as much wine as they wished.— For it is almost as cheap niwater—chcapor than water in New York perhaps; for there the tax that somebody pays fur Croton is something, but here in Spain wino is so cheap that what was left of last year's vint age has often deep emptied on the ground, or used instead of water to mix snorter with! That" is a largo story, but will be proved when I come to speak of the winos of this country. Yet drunkenness is not one tithe common vices of Spain. And this was illy first sabbath in Spain, worshiping in French with a dozen Chris tians in the morning, and looking at thous ands of the people dancing on the green in the afternoun.—Dr. Prisms iX 4Viao lurk Observer. The lieuegaden. The most infernal whelps in the whole yelping pack of mongrel-nom hell-hounds are the prominent converts from the Demo. ;made party made by bribes of military com missions, or the prospect of plunder during t h e c i v il war—as, for instatioc, the trimmer and tyrant Stanton, who was made Secreta ry of 11 ar, and exercised authority in a manner for which despotic is a mild term; Holt, whose blood-thirsty disposition evinced itself ou every occasion of trial by court mar tial or military commission in which he took part; Butler (the beast) who was male a general, without capacity, playcd.tho black guard, tyrant and thief at New Orleaus,but ded himself at Dutch (iap, and is now one of the meanest wretches and moat contempt ible scoundrels that compose the catalogue of names that form the present "infamous Congress; Logan, of Illinois, who (as Mrs. Lincoln alleges,) was bought by a Colonel's commission, a low fellow, without talent, ge- Ilions or principle, whose time is almost wholly absotbed in doing the slang talk and general dirty work of the party; he, too, is a member of the present 'infamous" rump, which has dune its worst to subvert the gov ernment and subject the country to utilitary rule. These and such as these, renegades from the Democratic ranks, are foroutest among the very lowest and worst of the bad men who are now ruling the country to its ruin. But there is comfort in thu thought that the day of their misused power is drawing to a close, and that they will soon be called by the people to a final laud, per haps, bloody) settlement of accounts.

PUBLIC DEBT.—From the last monthly exhibit of the United States Treasurer, M'Collough, the public indebtedness in creased ttccnty stallions of dollars. At this rate of increase, the question may be asked, how long will it talc for the people of the United States to pay twenty-six hundred millions of dollars of debt? It is all non sense for the party in power to pass resolu tions in Township, County and State con ventions, in favor of economy and a reduc tion of taxes,when the men whom they elect to office do not legislate so as to effect what they resolve. The people must afford the remedy which is at the ballot-box.

Wade for return to the U. S. Senate the Democracy united. Judge Thurman was decided upon as the candidate fur Governor. To better insure success and rally the ',topic it was decided that in event of carrying the Legislature, C. L. Vallandigham should he sent to the Senate in place of Waile,first, to insure an outspoken I)eu►ocrat there; ate otatlly, to teach the Rump Congress that one of its curses had come home to roost. This plan of battle united the war and anti-war Democracy. Pendleton was then to receive unittel support for the Presidency —redeemed Ohio, with her 1/clever:icy uni ted and encouraged would be a tower of strength, like Kentucky, New York, Con necticut, Pennsylvania, Califoruia, Delaware, \den land, etc. In this planning was wisdom and :.trengtli. The election time came.— Thurman, Vallandigham and Pendleton were three political giants of that State— they curried the banner high—they battled earnestly—they pressed the enemy on every side; they .hurled deGanee and the records of misdeeds in the very teeth of Republicans—they won a glorious victory. The legislature was carried by Republicans awl returned soldier;► in hundreds of cases voting fur Vallaialighatu legislators where they did not vote for Governor on either ticket. Thurman ne,:ived a majority of the hon est voted of Ohio, but for cause unknown did not claim the chair which he would have had by claiming, and the Democracy would have seen him defended in its pomea sion. After the election, certain Democrats of Ohio wanted a new deal. A move was then made to send Thurman to the Senate, ob tain control of the Slate organization, s(111 oat the friends of' l'allaudigbam, and, with those things accomplished, as was tele graphed or sent to the editors of the CM. cinnati Enquirer, " Vallandighani may go to hell I" The bargain and sale was effected. Ap pliances brought to bear, elected Thurman to the office ho was not a candidate for, and gave him an office he bad given his word, or his friends had given for him that ho would not accept, even if defeated for Governor. The election of Thurman by the legislature in Columbus was like a funeral—no cheer or exultation—but the men in some instances acted as did Judas Iscarriot, in gulag oat, but not to hang themselves. After this mile bad been made—after the friends of Vallandigham, after the brave Democrats of that State who are Democrats from principle and dare stand by and defend their Democracy at all tams and nailer all ciretarmtancrs saw the fruit of victory snatched, from them, they gave up. Here was the great ckance. The broken enemy should have been pressed into a rout—should have been charged upon and cut to pieces —the flower of the "old guard" should have been sent to the front, and this would have given pluck to the men of nerve and princi ple who alone have by their boldness and determined nand against usurpations stemed the tide and given us a hope for the fu ture. But the Ohio Democracy, led by the poli cy men made a Bull Rue retreat, and lost the advantage they had gained. The army was disbanded at the moment that victo ry was settling on its struitlard, and as the Democrats grew timid, the Republicans vow bold. Then came a special election in the Sth District. The policy men to conciliate the half whipped Republieatus, put up a policy man, one who would not in '(3 vote for Val landigham, nor support any Democrat of that school. Taunted, betrayed, ignored, many carneet Numerate had no heart for tlio fight, as there is no choice between a Republican and Democrat who has ~hod "PoHey Ste. tia," the half Lewis, and who has his bag gage checked through. As they were not wanted at the feast, they had no heart to prepare the viandm--the election of the Re publican candidate was the result. Mr. Val lindighatn refused to go farther. No man could pleammntly ltims the foot that had kick ed him ; and his friend', wrote that "Burns iy defeated, for we bad nothing to work for nothing to gain if eleeted"—he telegraph ed to Cincinnati: "have you hoard from the Nth District? Now you may go to hell once l" Tv the ones who broke faith with the working, victorious Democracy of that State is this defeat in the Nth District chargable. You cannot long betray and insult your beat friends. Had Vallantlighani been sent to the Senate, Pendleton could have carried Oitio, Thu, ri.tri ts:co the next Governor, and our victory for '6B would to-day have been won! But the battle is now to be fought over again, and we are worse off in Ohio than we were in October. Neither P en dl e to n or Vallandigham could carry that State today, nor this year for any °Sue.— Having been sold, betrayed, and cheated, the people will not ki- , s the rod that smote thew, nor would the timid Democrats dare vote for l'allandiehant. And there the pot that had three legs under it three months since is now leaning on but two, and neither one with confide:K.oin the other! In this matter we stand by principles. We do not like to see a brave man saeritiood.— Vallandigham's crime is that he always has been a Dernoerat. Ile has never forsaken his faith nor the people. 116 home bears many a mark of mob violence—he has re sisted unsey offers made by Lincoln to sell his principles— be has always stood by the people, the rights of States- the prosperity of the people—the white men of the coun try. This is the offence- nothing more. Ile 6 loved by the people—for he is true to them. Lately brutally assailed by a pro fessed Democratic paper, he lies no word of complaint. We care nuthing fur VAllandig hum. It is a question of prineiple. It is whether brave men are to be killed as offer ings to enemies. The Democracy of Val landighani is above suspicion—that of his ussailuet is not. We would see the next Presideut a white man and a Democrat, working for white men and Detuirracy. We care not who that man is, it' he will only be true to principle. We would vote for our most bitter personal enemy if he were only true to principle, and mild be relied on in time of danger to defend his principles and the people. It isswith this feeling we step between the lime Democrat of Ohin who is guilty of no crime or betrayal or friends, with our little army of over a hundred thousand brave men and shall protect him, far in so doing we protect our principles. The Work/ struck a cowardly blow. But the victim is not reached by it. Its mask is thrown off too soon—hut better that it came off than be born longer to decoy and delude honest people.

Site was white and beautiful, and two rival kings of the South sought her hand. But she refused their offers prefering to remain unwedded rather than link her fate and that of het people to a strange laud. Wars re sultcd, in which the Indian Boadicea led her swarthy to Fantle. After years of during %M AI the rivers ran biood and the cities were laid in ruins, the followt.rs of Arezuma were overpowered.— Then proffers of peaoo came again from a Southern king, but Arezuma received them not. N% irh a few warriors she left the land she could not rule, and never was heard of again. Some think she will return with Montezuma to redeem the Aztec race. Oth ers say site died in tho mountains with her soldiers. Ifer spirit visits El San Francisco, and often when the Indian hunters pass through the forests in the pale moonlight, they hear the sighing of the Aztec Queen. And some say they have seen a form of beauty passing towards the snow peaks, dressed in white and gold, bearing in one hand a silver-hew. and in the other a quiver from which all the arrows bad been fired.— After the eouque.t of Mexico, many Spanish adventurers led explorine parties into this lurid ; amongst them Coronado and Miens, who returned to speak in extravagant terms of the number of people and immense wealth Mend in the mountains of Colorado. The people they met have passed away or degen erated, but the beautiful landscapes and wealth remain. AN orator, warming with him subject, ex claimed. "I guess there ain't a niun, woman or child in the house who has arrived at the ago of fitly years, but *hat has felt this truth thuodering through his, her, or its mind for centuries," WHAT. can bo a more desolate spectacle than an old maid sitting on an inverted half bushel, in a cold kitchen, with her feet on the brim of a slop bucket, pairing her ems with a ease knife, by the light of a tallow candle.

JOHNNY SITELt, the "oil prince" of two years ago, who fur some time enjoyed the pleasant little income of $2,000 a day, on Thursday last, we loam from the Erie Ilia patch, filled a voluntary petition of bank ruptcy in the United States District Court at Pittsburg. After Johnny had lost - his property ho was obliged to earn a living by by driving an ell team, and later still, by tending the door of a minstrel show which be started with hie own money. His .in debtedness, &S set forth in his petition, amounts to $lOO,OOO. Some of the items are quite heavy, a few of which we note:— To Henry W. Katiga, of the Girard House Philadelphia, he owes $19,824 ; J. E. Cald well S. Co., Philadelphia, for jewelry, $5,- 500; John I). Jones, far harness, $1,250; W. Home & Co., for cigars, $562 ; K H. Conklin, Philadelphia, liquors, $2,0'34; Phelan & Collender, Philadelphia for bil liard tables, $1,500; to an unknown oredit or, for oil paintings, $2,200 ; to the account for hats, $3OO. A considerable amouneof his indebtedness is for money borrowed, notes, judgments, etc. When "Johnny" took a notion to rent a hotel for a few days, he would do so ; and whenever he saw any thing that pleased his i fancy, ho was bound to have it, regardless of cost. Perhaps no man in the United States ever squandered as much money in the spaoesof time. I'IFFICACY or ONIONB.—A writer mays : We arc troubled often with severe coughs, the result of colds of long standing, which may turn to consumption or premature death. Hard coughs cause sleepless nights by constant irritation of the throat, and a strong effort to throw off offensive matter from the lungs. The remedy I propose has been tried by me, and recommended by mo with good results, which is simply to take into the stomach before retiring for the night a piece of raw onion, after chewing. This esculent in an uncooked state is very heating, and collects the water from the lungs nod throat, causing immediate relief to the patient.
