An Article Worthy, of Being Read and Pondered. from the Philadelphia gortk Atiterican—a Conservative Paper. No . man in his senses can ignore, the existen'co of dangerous elements in the free States, and nowhere in greater num ber than in Philadelphia, and throughout Pennsylvania It is asserted by high official authority that secret agencies have been set at work industriously-aldthrough the commonwealth to persuade men not to enlist: One thing is past denial. When the question was pending' whether .Gov. Curtin should call an extra session of the State Legislature to make ,an appropria: tion for the expenses of raising the State contingent, or should assume authority to make the appropriation without such ac tion, •the leading Democrats called 'pri vately a legislative caucus iii' Harrisburg. At this gathering it was determined that if the Governor appropriated the money without calling the Legislatnre together, they would oppose the pasag,e of the appropriationlill to sauctiOn his action; and should he call an extra session to take the responsibility, they would in that body load the appropriation bills with clap-trap - amendments• and ingenious dodges obnoxious to the Republicans in order to prevent its passage.! Luckily the Governor was well inform ed of this treasonable contrivance to pre vent the filling up of the, Pennsylvania contingent, and he,compiettily frustrates it by refusing i 3 call an extra session or ir to mak-3 an appropriation ' la his own re sponsibility. He appeale Ito the people to raise the money themse ies by volun tary action and recruit the men, and nobly and overwhelmingly have they responded to this appeal. Defeated thus, the dis loyal have gone on secretlyil.in their dis semination of the treasonable idea that this is an abolition war, and that the North is equally culpable with the i } South in the eoutest. The' long rigmarole published by the Democratic State Central Com mittee has this idea throughout, and its purpose is to persuade Democrats not to enlist s in order that, by filling the regi ments up with Republicans, the Demo crats who remain at home may obtain I possession of all the State and local offices, and thus be in a position to retard the war policy of the national administration and compel a compromise. There never was a scheme baser or more heartless and treasonable than this, and as it ,passes the bounds which are allowable to- partisan freedcim, it is not to be presumed that the government will quietly look on and see it consummated. We make no charge of disloyalty against the Democratic masses, the great body of whom are known to' be free from this taint -- But the Democratic leaders , gen erally deserve to be regatded with sus picion. Their exertions 14 the present time are entirely of a treasonable tendency, and I can Lave no other result -than to • weaken the hands of the Government and to strengthen the enemy in arms against us. It will not do for men to pretend that they only contend now. for strict ad herence to the Constitution. No more plausible nor perilous pretext than this can be put forward in time of war, when the Government created by that Coast'. tutiori is in actual danger fr,Otn the efforts of :a rebellion which is without preoedeot in history for pagnitncto l and ferubity., = Debote s to 'the , .of Ihle DaillOtheDl 01 0 file DisseftliiMtco ' 1 1 of Kiiel'4 ' lo l'' 4 l la, Yowl. I I COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST I and when these ostensible friends of the Constitution assail its lawful officers and give aid and conifort to its armed enemies. The Constitution has now no friends ex cept those who stand by its legal Govern• men, and adhere to its national . standard in the. WO waging for its, preservation. All others are traitors. We do inot _think it‘worth any man's while to l waste arguments on the disloyal. There is no time for argument. There are laws Which must be enforced. There is an armed authority which is powerful enough to strike with force and effect all its foes . I This is the argument for trai tors. The halter and the dungeon for the chief conspirators will convince their de luded followers better than any argument which 'night be adduced. Men who come oi l it in the newspapers over their own proper names and deny sympathy with the government in the prosecution of this war, are not fit to be allowed to ran at large any, more than the inmates of an Insane Asylum. All of these men who are of actuated by treasonable mo tives aro clearly insane, and might justly be put in charge of Dr. Kirkbride. We are decidedly of the opinion that at the coming election no man ought to vote or be a candidate for office who does not first ;take the oath of allegiance. This oath is a real and practicalhest, far better than any argument. Men who bluster and talk about their loyalty and patriot ism, and yet shrink from taking this oath, are traitors at' heart, and have no right to participate in our public affairs. With out waiting for the election,' the citizens generally ought to carry it, into every warehouse, store, shop, factOry, or other large establiShment. Every corporation, company, and association, should take the oath, and those who refuse should be kicked out neck and heels. We call upon our ,loyal fellow-citizens to set the ball in motion immediately, and make the test forthwith. Let the disloyal be converted into marked men, with whom noue will associate or hold dealing. A 'Mathematical Hospital Patient. On our trip up we had on board a tall, gaunt- looking volunteer, whose appear ance not only indicated that he was lately from a hospital, but that it would perhaps have been better for him to have remain ed there still. for ho certainly did not seem to be in a fit condition to travel. He was from Eastern Ohio ; and by 130111 C strange whim of his comrades (soldiers have odd notions as to name) he had won the cognomen of "Beauregard." Ile was full of dry humor; and it had a peculiar zest, coming from such a dilapidated specimen of the human 'kind. I asked him : "How long were you in the hospita at ?" "I stayed just five days; I couldn't stand it any longer." "Wby so ? Were you not well treated?" "Well, you see, when I went in there were six patients. The first day they buried one." "Well, what of that ?" "Nothing—only the next day they buried another." , "They must have been severe cases, and made it very unpleasant' for you." "1)—(1 unpleasant! I knew my 'turn would come in time. I went in on Mon day, and if I stayed I would be carried Out on Saturday. So I made my mica lations, and on Friday I packed my knap sack, and went away. If I bad not, I'd surely been buried on Saturday.' Six days—one man each day—couldn't stand that!' WHAT WE MAY Do.—No human be ing can be isolated and self-sustained. The strongest and bravest and most help ful have yet, acknowledged or unac-' koowledged, to themselves, moments of, hungry soul-yearnings for companionship and sympathy. Fri the want of this; what wrecks of humanity lie strewn about us. Youth wasted for the mocking sea - blance of friendship. ~Adrift at the mercy', of chance, for the grasp of a true firm hand, and a kindly, loving, heart to coun-, sel. It is affecting to see how strong is this yearning so fatal to its possessor if not guided rightly, such'a lite-anchor if safely. placed. "Friendless!" What tragedy there may be hidden in that one little word. None to labor for; none to weep or smile with ; none to care whether we lose or win in life's struggle. A kind word, or a smile, coming to such an one unexpectedly at some such crisis of lite, how often has it been like the plank tb the drowning man, lacking which he 'must surely have perished. These; surely, we ?hay bestow as we pass those leSs fa vored than ourselves, whose souls - are waiting for our sympathetic recognition. . FANNY ,FEEN.

The verp , first lessob which;you shoph teach you children almuld be the just value of y ur affections, since it is thro' their medium, chiefly) that you can hope properly to influence iheir obedience; it ,is idle to expect that )you ma train him properly iU his ways of life. ,You are to teach bird this lessiid . by a careful -dis crimination between right and wrong, in your consideration of Ihis conduct. You ate to permit no misconduct, however trifling,- in itself, to) r pass without due 1 notice; it) must. be p omptly, checked to be , effeettially eoriquered. Error is like that Genius iri the Ikrabian'i Tale, who, thougn his hulk, whet unconflued, reach ed from earth to heaven, couldiyet squeeze himself into a quart pot. It is surprising fr q ui what small begindings most monsters erotv. 'The first leson which the boy learns from -this obset want diScrimination is the value yod plac on yoneaffections. He , soon sees that they are valuable— only to b acquired en certain terms, and for 41, certain consicieratiou. ' You lave nothing to do but prescribe the terms— to,declare the conditions. You May make I your affections cheap or dear, at your own 1 pleasure. If too cheap, he will not value 1 them ;if too dear, li will despair of pro cu!ring them. Th true principle by which AO determin the conditions fur seeuring them, is th simple one of always doing justice. If i i , le desetves praise, praise hilin ;if he crit blame, do not withhold it. In neither case be immod erate, fora boy seldein deserves any great degree of either praise or blz.nie. !The terms of you favor-you are to un fold toliim, not by. set lessons, hut by habitual l conduct; and be will find it easy to comply with reasonable conditions in order to secure thbse affections which, moved as they are) by inflexible justice, he will Soon discern, are beyond all price. We see it in the pablic thoroughfare, at 1 all: howls, at every ,turning. Affections are moral -rewards 1 They are to be given, like money, very sparingly, kind not till Neu hive carefully inquired. Whether they are dile or not. They are to, be given to jitstice,?ot to parnality. ' The ill advised add lavish affection of the :parent, like indiscriminate chanty in the highways, soon makes the reeiter wasteful of the treasure he recievea. Besides, when the . . o D . parent has been giving of •his Windier°, what has he t left to, bestow, Wherobe child deserves, and when it is the parent's duty to reward 1 ' It is from this profligacy of bounty that children. become 'capricious in moral, judgement, perverse and wantoia in disposition. From this they grow upl preferring wrong to. ,t,, right;!, or, rather, practising the wrong quite ; as commonly 3 rs the right, from an absolute incapa.eit to perceive the dif. ferences between knew. ,j' . crow away tie I . , How TO TREAT §':NIALL AimIETIES.— Al regards the"carieer of small anxieties," one great art of rhanaging them, , is to cease thinking abdut them just at that koint, where thought becomes morbid. It will not do Ito say that such anxieties }nay rid demand some thought, and occa sionally much thought. But there comes a ' time, when thdught is Wasted upon these anxieties; when you find yourself, in your 1 thoughts,] going ov • er the same I ground a g ain an again' td: DJ purpose, deeppainc , annoys ce, instead of enlarging insight and providing remedy.

SINGULAR OPTICAL ILLUSION.--A gentleman living in Brussels, somewhat troubled by . cobwebs and spots his eyes, rubbed them one night with a: feW drops of extract of belladonna. • In the morninh the cobwebs had gone, but the old outer face of the world had.changed. His newspaper which had been,placedlut his bedside, was composed of type so small that he could hardly -decipher its: He rang the bell and his stout sprvint wench had shrunk into a thin girl of ten years: He got up in "a fright and !mired after his clothes—they were the uarinenta of a-child, but as his own limbs had di minished in proportion, he got into them. "lie found his wife and children_s t the ' table, -the former a dwarf the latter a roof of dolls.', He hurried off to his physi. elan ; the bor.4es he met looked like &me i the dogs like rats. Everything was Lil. liputian. Lotions were applied to the victim's e,yee, and the-next day Brobdig nag returned, bringing bank the cobwebs and, spots. I This phenomenon, called nzieropie, does not stem to have occurred wore than ;half. dozen times, though it may yet be brought on at will by them. ploytnent Of certain substances. Do You TAxr. WAFERS ?"-=—The Cleveland herald says : "On Saturday morning a country-man entered a store on Ontario street, for the purpose of trade ing. After ordering what he wanted, he inquired of the clerk—'Do you take wa• fern in pay ?' 'Wafers!' replied the es• tonished clerk. 'Yes, wafers—wafers. That's all the sort of money I've got.-- I took 'em of a chap down here; and he said they, are good.' 'Well,' said the clerk, 'we take all sorts of good currency, but we haven't yet got to taking wafers., 'But these are good ones,' said the - ocoun. tryEuan, 'red wafers—got a head onto 'au.' The cierk suddenly got an idea as to the state of the case, asked to look ss, the new currency, found them to be good three cent stamps, and decided that he did 'take wafers in pay,'" TUE FEELING IN ISELAND.---The Dundalk Democrat say : The Americas Union is the best friend of Ireland in the world.

One Summer afternoon, - while she was intent upon the sermon, and the Judge was having a quiet snooze, she discovered a grass-hopper oa her dress. Picking it off, she . gently nudged the drowsy Judge, that he might throw the intruder into the aisle. He took it with eyes half open, and supposing it to be a clove quite nn• suspectingly bit off its head. WASHINGTON'S OPINION or TRAITORS. --In Bartlett's history. of America, these memorable words appear, from the lips of the Father of his country, in speaking of traitors in the revolution : •`I would to God," said lie, "that EOM of the more atrocious in each State were hung upon a. gallows five times as high as that prepared for Haman. No punishment, in my opine ion, is too severe for the man who cam build his greatness upon , his country's ruin." We believe it was Kingsley who said: To be miserable, think about ycurself about what you want, what yen like, what respect people ought to pay you, What people think of you—and then to yols nothing will be pure. Yon will spoil everything you touch; you will make sin and misery for yourself out of everything which God sends you; you will be as wretched as you choose on earth, or in heaven either. An old gentleman traveling some years ago, inside the Bath mail, bad two ladies, sisters, for companions. The younger, an invalid; soon fell asleep, and the old gentleman expressed his regret to see so charming a young lady in ill health.
