There are some hearts that, like the loving vine, Cling to unkindly rocks and ruined tovers. Spirits that suffer and do not repine Patient and sweet as lowly trodden flowers That from the passers heel arise. And bring back odorous breath insteac bi sighs. But there are other hearts that will not feel The louely love that haunts their eyes and ears; That wound fond faith with anger worse than steel, And out of pity's spring draw idle tears, O Nature! shall it ever be thy will 111 thin? with good to mingle, good with ill 1 Why should the heavy foot of sorrow press The willing heart of uncomplaining love Meek charity that thrinks not from distress, Gentleness, loth her tyrants to reprove ? Though virtue weep forever and lament AVil 1 one hard heart turn to her and repent ? Why should the reed be broken that will bend. And they that dry the tears in other's eyes, Feel their own anguish swelling without end, Their summer darkened with the smoke of sighs ? Sure, Love to some fair Eden of bis own Will flee at last, and leave us here alone. L ve weepeth alwa3-s weepeth for the past, For woes that are, for woes that may be tide, Why should not hard ambition weep at last, Envy and hatred, avarice and pride 1 Fate whispers, so low is your lot, They would be rebels; love rebelleth not. The Mass Meeting At Reading. The following Resolutions were adopt ed at the monster Mass Meeting at Read ing, July 18th. j Iksolvcd ly the Democracy o f Hkistern and Central Pennsylvaia in Mass Conven tion Assembled, That the contest upon which we are now entering, is simply whether the Fed eral Union, under the Constitution, as adopted and construed by its illustrious authors, with the reserved rights of the States unimpaired, shall continue to be one form of Government, or whether we shall have forced upon us by Congression al usurpation and revolutionary action a central consolidated government, bound by no constitutional restraints, and in which the liberties of the people would be at the mercy of a bare majority of Congress, controlled by self-constituted and a "irresponsible" central directory, 2. Resolved, That the Democratic party are now as ever the only true Union party of the land. That we point with pride to the untiring and unselfish efforts made by all Democrats and Conservatives in and out of Congress to preserve the Un ion before the war commenced by concili ation and compromise, the only means by which it was formed, and without which it will never be more than a name: that the refusal of the Republican party to yield their partisan predjudices for the sake of peace and Union, was the imme diate cause of the war and posterity will hold them responsible. 3. Resolved, That we will hold all de partments of the Government to its offi cial and solemn declaration that "the war was not prosecuted for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, but to maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired ;" that the war having ended by the surrender of the rebel armies, the people of the South are subject only to such penalties as the Constitution of our common country, and the laws passed in pursuance of it, may prescribe, and are entitled to all the rights which that Con stitution insures to all the people of all the States. 4. Resolved, That the Federal Union is composed of thirty-six Spates ; that, un der the Constitution, each State is entitled to an equal representation in the Senate, and to its proper representation in the lower House ; that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land ; that the Presi dent is sworn to enforce the law, and that we call upon him, in the name of an out raged and violated Constitution, and an imperiled Union, to make the Congress what the consequence requires it io be the representative body of the people. 5. Resolved, That we denounce the pro ceedings of the Radical majority in the so-called Congress as lawless and revolu tionary, and intended by the leaders to utterly subvert and destroy our wise and beneficial system of government, and to establish in its place a consolidated des potism controlled by the worst spirit of New England fanaticism. 6. Resolved, That wc tendor to Presi dent Johnson our heartfelt thanks for his bold and steadfast determination to restore the Union of our fathers "in its original purity," and we adjure him by the mem ory of the immortal Jackson, to convince j the radical disunionists by word and deed, j that "the Federal Union must and 6hall b'i preserved." 7. Resolved, That we arc opposed to negro suffrage, believing that the white men of America are able to govern them selves," without the aid of an inferior race, and that we disapprove of the amend ment to the Constitution lately proposed by the so-called Congress, it being noth ing but the oiler of a reward to the States for granting negro suffrage, and a threat of a punishment in case of refusal. 8. Resolved, That the soldiers who fought for the Union and the Constitution deserves well of the country, and that the repeated declaration of the Radicals that the rebellion could not have been subdued without the aid of black troops is a gross and wanton insult to the brave and gallant white soldiers of America, which they will know how to present at the polls. 9- Resolved, That the sympathies of the Democracy are now as they have ever been with our brave brothers of the Em erald Isle, in their gallant efforts to free their native land from the foul t)Tranny of England, and that we owe nothing to the English government which should prevent us from rejKiating or modifying the neu trality laws, so as to give the Irish fair play, which is all they ask. 10. Resolved, That we endorse and re affirm the platform of principles adopted by the Democratic State Convention at Ilarrisburg on the 5th of March last, and we present with pride to the Democratic and Conservative citizens of Pennsylva nia our worthy candidate for Governor, Hon. Iliester Clymer. lie answers in an eminent degree the requirements of Jeff erson ; he is honest, he is capable, and he is faithful. The most malignant of his political enemies can find no spot on his fair fame, and to the slanders and mis representations of radical disunionists, answer that he is now as he has always been, and under all circumstances, in fa vor of the Union of our Fathers, a Un ion o f White Men. 11. Resolved, That the tariff men of Pennsylvania may see by the votes of Senators Sumner and Wilson, of Massa chusetts, and Foster, of Connecticut; that the professions of friendship for Pennsyl vania by the radicals of New England, are as sincere as their professions of re gard for the Union of the States. 12. Resolved, That we approve of the call for a National Union Convention of all the States to meet in Philadelphia on the 1 Ith of August next, to sustain the President in his patriotic policy of resto ration, and we recommend the State Cen tral Committee to take such action as will best advance the purposes of the call. At about half-past live the meetings were adjourned, and the majority of t lie trains, left for their homes. As they rattled along the diverging lines of railroads, the "flying horses" the Geary rowdies again sallied forth to create disturbances, liloody noses and knocking down of in offensive men prevailed for a time in a number of localities. It is said some of the rowdies entered the Keystone House, tore down Democratic handbills and tramped an American flag under their feet, as an evidence of their party hatred. Still the meeting was a great success, and the occasion one that will be long remem bered by the conservative masses of Eas tern Pennsylvania. The Bio Er-M on Boston Commox. The Boston Evening Commrrcial says : The days of the big elm are numbered. It is entirely shorn of its beauty, and in a few years it will be no more. The trunk of the tree is hollow, and rot has extended to its branches. In former years the tree has suffered from the injury of the storms. Lightning has shivered it, and its most magnificent branches have, one by one, been lopped. A tender care for its health has been extended towards it for some years. The hollow places hare been fill ed with cement. It has been hedged about and its roots have been guarded. The stately branches that yet remain have been braced up by iron supporters, and) until two dayg ago it was sun a orae looking old tree, the pride and beauty of the Common. But its proportions have been destroyed. The great branch the largest branch there was left that ir.clin ed towards the west, has fallen, canning with it two sections of the iron fence that surrounded the tree. The appearance of the wood show that the branch has been held in its placo by a very slight breadth of sound wood." The Past and Present. The Radicals throughout the country are busily engaged in defaming the Presi dent. Not many months ago the same men who are now employed in this dis reputable business distinctly announced that the President was the government, and that any abuse of the former was un deniable treason to the latter. Any per son who wrote or spoke of the Executive except in ahighly complimentary man ner, was deemed by these worthies as fit only for imprisonment or exile. In many cases where the offending parties were not reached by the central despotism at Washington, brutal mobs were turned loose upon them, and every species of in sult that malice could invent was heaped j upon those who "knew their rights, and knowing dare maintain them." But all this is changed! The Radicals now claim the right they once contemptuously denied to others. They now slander the President in the very name of "loyalty." Their miserable spies and informers are as busy as ever, but their despicable efforts are at present directed towards bringing into contempt "the government" they once professed to revere, and are turned against the office of Chief Magistrate, heretofore invested by them with the same divinity which doth hedge a king. They have completely changed their base," and history presents no meaner spectacle than the party that once imprisoned men, and exiled women, and throttled children, now exercising a license of pen and speech which in others, they denounced as treas onable and diabolical ! Learning A Tkade. It was a wise law of the ancient Jews that the sons of even the wealthiest men should be obliged to serve an apprenticeship to some useful occupation, so that in case of reverse of fortune they might have something to "fall back upon." The same still exists in Turkey, where every man, even the Sul tan himself, must learn a trade. How fortunate would it be now had it been a law in this country. "Would to God I had a trade !" is the cry of thousands of returned soldiers, North and South, who find themselves ruined in pocket, with no immediate prospect of gaining a liveli hood. It should teach parents that what ever else they may give their sons, they should give a good trade. One of our contemporaries most truthfully remarks, that a popular idea among our people is that all of their sons should adopt clerk ships, and the adoption of the business of book-keeping as a means of obtaining their livelihood, and every effort is made to give them an education to that end. So far as the education of their children in the science of keeping proper accounts is concerned, the idea is a good one, and ev ery young man should have a sufficient knowledge to properly manage his own books should he ever embark in business, but to make book-keepers and clerks of all our boys is a grand mistake. Better place them in a workshop, mill, or foun dery, where they can learn indeiendent trades, which at all times will secure for them employment, and the pecuniary com pensation for which will be at least as much, if not more, than the business of accounts. We earnestly advise all par ents to teach their sons trades, no matter what, so that it is an industrious pursuit ; and let us in the future be spared the pain of seeing so man- stout, able-bodied young men out of employment, and seeking situ ations where tho pen only can be used. Tin; wife of Garibaldi was a woman of extraordinary daring and bravery. A short time after their marriage she went through an engagement at sea with her husband, refusing to go ashore, and du ring the fight would stay nowhere but on deck, where she wielded a carbine and cheered the men. In the heat of the bat tle she was standing on deck flourishing a sabre and inspiring the men to deeds of valor, when she was knocked down by the wind of a cannon ball that had killed two men standing by her side. Garibal di was springing forward to her, thinking that he would find her a corpse, when she rose to her feet, covered with the blood of the men who had fallen close to her, but quite unhurt. He begged her to go below and remain till the action was over. "I will go below," was her reply, "but only to drive out the sneaking cow ards who are skulking there," for only a few seconds before she had seen three men leave the deck and hurry rapidly down the hatchway, so as to escape out of dan ger of the storm of bullets that was sweep ing the deck? And going below, she im mediately after re-appearcd, driving before her the three men, overcome with shame that they should have been surpassed in courage by a woman. VOL. 13 NO. 23. One of Gough's Stories. At a political meeting the speaker an I audience were very much disturbed by a man who constantly called out lor Mi. Henry. Whenever a new speaker came on, this man brawled out, "Air. Henry ! Henry ! Henry ! I call for Mr. Henry I" After several interruptions of this kind at each speech, a young man ascended to the platform, and was soon airing his elo quence in magniloquent style, striking out powerfully in his gestures, when the old cry was heard for Mr. Henry. Putting his hand to his mouth like a speaking trumpet, this man was bawling out at tho top of his voice, "Air. Henry ! Henry! Henry! I call for Mr. Henry to make a speech 1" The chairman now rose and remarked that it would oblige the audience if ihe gentleman would refrain from any further calling for Air. Henry, sis that gentleman was now speaking. "Is that Air. Henry ?" said the disturb er of the meetin. "Thunder! that can" t be Mr. Henry! Why that's the litth cuss that told me to holler !" Mr. Gough adds, that in telling this story to a man who could never be made to see the "point" of a joke, after study ing for some minutes, the man asked him: 'Well, Mr. Gough, what did he tell him to holler for?" "Only a Little Bkook." A simple but touching incident has been related u, says the Maine Press, in connection with the last moments of a beautiful liltle girl, in Bath, who lately died at the age of nine. A little while before she died, as the sorrowing friends stood around her, watching the last movings of her breath, the last faint fluttering of the little pulse, they became aware, from broken words, that 6he shrank with natural dread, from the unknown way that was opening Ixd'ore her. She had come to the Iwrders of the mysterious river which separates us from the dim hereafter, and her timid feet seem ed to hesitate and fear to stern the flood But after a while her fear subsided, sh; grew calm and ceased to talk about the long dark way, till at the very last she brightened suddenly, a smile of confi dence and courage lighted up her sweet face, "O, it is only a brook !" she cried, and so passed over to the heavenly shore. Anotheii Challenge fko.m II.vmii.l Mr. James Ilamill, of Pittsburgh, who was beaten in the international sculling match on the river Tyne, in England, by Harry Kelly, the champion oarsman of that country, it appears is not yet entirely satisfied. In a letter returning thanks for the kindness he received during his stay in England he says : I would like, however, to have another trial, and I hereby offer to any Englishman who will come to America as great a distance from his home as I have come from mine to row him on one of our smooth rivers after our mode of conduct ing races. I and my friends will promise any Englishman who may do this that we will do our best to secure for him as fair treatment as I have experienced in New castle. N. V. Herald, Jnly 23. Pictlke ok Butler. We clip the fol lowing from the Norfolk (Va ) correspon dence of the Richmond Kxuminer : Before I left Richmond I saw a portrait of the honored (?) General Butler, paint ed by Mr. William E. Trahcrn. It is about thirty by thirty-seven inches, and will be exhibited for sale at the fair to b-i held at Trinity Church, in Richmond, on Monday evening next. Butler is easily recognized in regimentals1, upon horse back, leaving a sacked city with the door plate of "li. Yeadon" suspended from his neck, a basket on each arm filled with sil ver plate, goblets, pitchers, knives and forks, dishes and spoons, and front, upon the horse, a lady's outer and inner dress. C3It may not interest the Disunionists greatly to be told that every Presidential veto of former President's was sustained by the people, but such is the case. 3- It is said that Postmaster C A. Waldron, of Philadelphia, will resign, in order to run against Judge Keliy as an Administration candidate for Congress. Cy Young men who idolize young wo men always long to be "joined to their idols." A female writer says "the nation wants a man." Perhaps she has confoun ded her own personal want with that of the nation. C3" The London Owl is informed that General Beauregard was offered, the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Rouman ian army, an honor which was declined. - i ! i i i 11 IT II
