TIL L-: TWO L> I;AF LADIES, 1 had an aunt who purposed visiting me , f>r t first time since mv marriage, and I | don't know what evil genins prompted the wickedness which 1 perpetrated toward my w.ifo and ancient relative. '• My dear.'' said I to my wife the day he fort niv aunt's arrival '• you know aunt Ma ;ry e> coming to-iuorrow. Well, I have for fotfen to mention a rather annoytqg circnm i stance in regard to her.

I then went to John Thornton who loves a j'-ke as well ns any person that I know, told i tiiin to be at my houso at six o'clock on the , fo 1 iwing evcronv. an 1 I then feltcoaaptritiye' I 'y hippy. i went to the railroad depot with a carriage j 1 Eat day, and when entry way home with my aunt, 1 said '•My dear aunt, there is one rather annoy j nig infirmity that Anna (my yifc ) has, which I Ergot to mention before. Sl.e is vi-ry deaf ; and though -he can hear my voice, to which she is accustomed, in its or dinary tunes, yet vc.u will be obliged to speak extremely loud to her in order to be heard, f am very sorry that she is so." Aunt Mary, in the extreme goodness of her heart, protested that she rather liked speak ing loud, aid tint to do so would give her irr.-at pleasure. I handed out my aunt, aud she ascended the steps. " I am delighted to see you, " shrieked iny wife, who met us at the door. Tee p.diccman on the opposite side of the street was r tar tied, and my aunt nearly tum bled down the step-. " Kiss me, my dear," howled my aunt, and the hall lamp clattered, windows shook as with fever and ague. 1 looked at the window, but John Thorn ton had disappeared. Human nature could stand it n> longer. I p iked iny head into the carriage, and went into strong convul sions of laughter. When I went into the parlor my wife was helping aunt Mary to take oft' her bonnet and mantdla ; and there sat John with his long face of woe. " Did you have a pleasant journey ?" sud denly went off my wife like a pistol, and John nearly jumped to his feet. " Rather dusty," was the response, in a war-hoop. The conversation was long continued in this strain. The neighbers for squares around i must have heard it, for when I was in the third story I heard every word. In the course of the evening my aunt took occasion to say to me " llow loud your wife speaks. Don't it hurt her 7" I to d her that all deaf persons spoke loud, and that my wife being u-ed to it, was not effected by the exertion, and that they were getting along finely. Presently my wife said, softly " A! f red. how loud your aunt talks " 44 Yi s," said T," all deaf people do. Y'ot: get along weil together. Shu hears every word you say."

My aunt being ot an investigating turn of mind, was desirous of finding out whether the exertion of talking so loud was not injurious to toy wife. " Doesn't talking so loud strain your lungs 7" said she, in an unearthly hoot, foi her voice was not as musical as it was when she w as 3'oung. " It is an exertion," shrieked ray wife. " Then why do you do it ?" was the an swering scream." " B.cause—because—you can't hear me if I don't squalled my wify. " W! *> 7" My aunt faialy rivalled a railroad whistle this time.

Im mediately and involui aiiiy I assumed a similar attitude, an i i 'fttiik, from the rela tive position of onr teet and beads, and our attempt to restrain our laughter, apoplexy must inevitably have ensued, if a horrible groan, in which John gave vent in his endea vor to suppress his risabilitiy, had not be | iraveii our hiding place. In ru-died my-wife and aunt, who bv this t lipie comprehended the joke ; and such a scolding as I got then 1 never got before, diid I hope never to get again. 1 know npt what the end might hate been tt John-, in his endeavors to appear respect ful and sympathetic, had not given vent to such a diabolical noise, something between a groan and a horse laugh, that all gravity was upset, and we all laughed and screamed in coneert. ST. PATRICK'S BODY FOUND. —While the workmen engaged in the rennovation of St- Patrick's Cathedra 1 , Doublin, the oldest church in Ireland, were digging up a p irtion of the flooring in one of the aisles tlicy'dis covered a large stone c >ffi i of curious WOTK raanship, buried a few feet below the suf fice. Tilt- coffin was opened, vvas found to contain the skeleton of an ecclesiastic, su pos ed to have hem buried there six hundred vears? The skull was perfect, ami the bones crumbled into du.-t when exposed to tin. air. On the I'd "f the coffin there was a ! full length' figure of a Urdu pin his robes. It was inspected by s< nu antiquarians, in eluilunr Dr. Todd, who eXpr- -ed it ash'.s' belief that -t wa* the original founder ' f 'he cliurrh. St. Patrick . 11 is in good prc-erva ti m. and tt is in every respect a most intpr e.-ti'ng relic. When the church finished, it wiii bo placed in a inost prominent posi ' tiun. because there is no more refnarkable antiquity in the building — lri?b, Paper. t 'isr The following is the story about swapping horses" of which Mr. Lincoln wa- reminded when his re-nomination lor the Presidency was foimnlly announced to hitn. A Dutchman undertakes to swim a mare and colt across a stream, and not being a swim, iner himself lie taxes hold of thy colt's tail, and the tfio start to make the passage. The colt, weak and immature, begins to show signs of giving out about the time the tniidN die of the stream is reached, and men on the opposite bank crv to 'be Dutchman to seize the tnare,s ta"l and relievo the colt, or he will be lost. Longing anxiously about him, and seeing the mare's tail beyond his raach, h' 1 tightened his grasp on the Colt's caudal extremity, and he replies to his in leresteri neighbors, that " this is no place to swap horse.-." The result, of course, is, that Dutchman and Colt soon sink to what novel, ists term a " watery grave," We are left to nfer that the colt represents the almost ex Inusfed Government, and the President, the, drowning Dfitchma/i. It is not strange that his re.nomination should have called this, story to mind. The question for the pen. pie ii whether there is not some way to save the colt. Z'*' A short tune ago in *he l-iyal city J of Philadelphia, a "largely u;e*sed female answering the description of an F. F. V. hailed a Vine street car. Just as it stopped to take her aboard a Union soldier stepped out of the same car. On entering several seats were vacant, and the won id be -lady inquired in a very sharp tone: " Where did that sol dicr sit I" No answer. Again but in a more shrill tone than at first, the same question was, " Where itd that soldier sit7" Si ill no reply from any of the passengers, the car going ahead, the " lady 8 ' st'll unseat ed, when the same question was fairly spit out between her teeth. u Where did that man sit?" An honest Hibernian, quietly seated near the unhappy female, and no doubt desirous of relieving her in some slight degree, replied, " Faith ma'am, he snt on his end and took it away with him !" —-4-- ' " Why is it," satd one of our school inarms to a young scapegrace who had caused Her much trouble by his bad conduct, •* why is it you behaved so well when you first came to school, and are so disobedient now 7 ' ''Because," said young hopolui, looking up into the teacher's face, " I wasn't mucu ac quaintcd then," * a XTISTT Aa • 1 EXECUTIVE MANSION.

' Pi RPOSE or THE WAR RESOLVED, That tl is war is not waged on their part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any , purpose of conquest or subjugation, for the purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and to preserve the Un ion with all the dignity; equality, and the rights of the several States unimpaired ; and that as soon as these objects are accomplish ed the war ought to cease.—Resolution of Hon. John J. Crittenden passed July 22>1 W- The Republican Convention at Chi cago. which nominated Mr. Lincoln, this resolution : Resolved, That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of flic states and espec'ally the right <!>f each state to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment is essential to that balance of power on vthicn the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depend, and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any state or territory, no matter under what pretext, as auiorg the gravest of crimes. In his Niagara letter Mr. Lincoln now do clares that the control over the domestic in stitutions of the states confirmed to them in our Constitution, and in the confederate Constitution not less explicitly, shall be as sumed by " an authority that C4ll control the " armies now at war against f hc United " States," and transferred to him who now controls the snnles and uavies of the United StA.tes.aud that othervv.-w ho wUI not jjstea To av A , o to overtures of p*ac * •ti fr" TORAM .littoO ty Said Seward ie tho well known Dayton letter.

'J'he case, however, would not be fully presented if I were to omit •> say that any such cfthrt <m nis part woufl be unconsiitotiun&h and all hi® actions in that direction would be prevented by the judicial authority, even though they were assented to by Congress and tite people. Could language be more explicit? Yet Compare this witß Mr. Liucoln's Niagaia letter. He does thus interfere with slavery. He persists in keeping thirty millions of j people at war rather than listen to an over ! ture hi peace in which the abandonment of | slavery is not the key note, and yet has thus 'publicly and officially avowed, over and over I again, his repudiation of purposes now dis [ closed, and the luviiess character of acts DOW j boldly done. The Coup d 1 Etat does not show a more shocking poiifical Immorality. Other Pres idents have been Inconsistent contradictory and illogical. Mr. Lincoln is the first Presi dent who has dared'to do that which, when charged upon him; he had before repudiated, branded as lawless, as a perjury, and is a crime. Louis Napolean shed some blood to get jxirrer, violated some oaths broke some pledges. But he broke not half so many as, Abraham Lincoln has confessedly broken, an ! wh-re the present Emperer 6hed rills of blood t+ie present President will pour livers, if thirty millions of people are tube kept waging the bloodiest and most gigantic of the world's civil wars until the South surrenders its property,, its prejudices, and its local self-government. Eosr In his first message to Congress, at the ex'ra session in the summer of 1861, Mr Lincoln said : Lest there be -orne uneasiness in the minds of candid men as to what is to be the course of the government toward the Southern States after the rebellion shall have been >uppre>sed, the executive deems it proper to say it w'li be his purpose then, as ever, to be gu'ded by the Constitution and the laws ; ind that he probably will have no different understanding of the powers and duties of the federal government relatively to the null's of the states and the people, under the Constitution, than that expressed in the inauuurai address. He des'res to preserve the pivvriMuen', that it may be administer •d for all as it was administered by the men who made it. Loyal citizens everywhere have ihe right to claftn this of their govern ment, and die government has no right to withhold or neglect it. It is not perceived that, in giving it, there is any coercion, any conquest, or any subjugation, in any ju?t sense of those terms. Now avowing that the abandonment jf slavery shall precede the acceptance of over ture of peace, Mr. Lincoln's message can be interpreted only as the confession thai he is doing what " loyal citizens" have a right to protest against his doing, and what he vio lates the Constitution and the laws of the Lnited States in doing. JC2C" A gentletnan who, a few days ago was a wandering over the ground recently occupied by a portion of Gen. Earlyfoices, engaged in the "-lege of "Washington," picked up the note book of a Confederate soldier containing, among other mutters, the follow ing bit ot lyrical poetry : tyu ih Meade to Lee, •' Can you tell me, Iu the shortest style of writing, When people will AM gel their fill Ul this big job of fighting ?'' Quoth Lee to Meade, " I can, indeed, I'll tell you in a minute— When Legislators s And speculators Arc made to enter in it." Z,-3T Tn his inaugural President Lincoln quoted from obe of iiis own speeches and re iterated this declaration : I have no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do 60, arid I have no incli nation to do so. I now reiterate these senti meats, and in doing so I only press upou tho public attention the inost conc'usive evidence of which the case is susceptible that the property, peauq and security of no sec tion are to be iu eriy wise endangered by the now incoming administration, Mr. Lincoln uow justifies the rebels in disbelieving these solemn asserv&tions by proving that they were false. lie now does what ho then declared he had no lawful right to do, and, for tho sake of re-election, confesses the inclination which he then disa vowed. &£~ A d oad mule, belonging to a Mem phis citizen, was being hauled out of the lines the other day, when a bayonet thrust revealed the fact that tho carcass coutainod GO,OOO percussion caps, a quanity of ammu nition, and otfier contraband articles, which somu rebel sympathizer hiui ttkou this means —■ —- ;r '— —"" - 11r; TXIRM9: fifI.OOPER RO> T-OFFICE The Now fYork World devqte* time, dol umcs on Thursday to sho'w that letter* are not safe in the post office, anJ instance* a cu-u of A.

DRAFTS AND REINFORCEMENTS# r lnere are two circumstances, which proTe trying puzzles to readers unversed in the in tricacies of military manoeuvres, and un taught in the profundities of military criti cism. We mention them briefly, with the hope of obtaining satisfactory solutions from claiming to be adepts in all the knowledge requisite for raising and conducting armies, and favor us with reiterated essays on both subjects. ' The people of the North are represented to be patriotically eager to rush to the battle to crush the rebellion. How does it happen then that tht.se who volunteer to serve in tho j army must be bribed into the ranks by the most exhorbitant bounties ? How dot* $ happen, that the seduction of the bribe—no matter how great—fails to operate on the intensity of the patriotic feeling, and con scription must be resorted? These are tho two branches of our first problem. Being in comparative ignorance of the con- * dition and movements of our grand army of the Potomac, but reading every day of it* flank movements and its constant discom fitures of the enemy, we rsre in a quandary to comprehend why it rsquires such frequent accessions of rein A.rcements, We wish our ignorance to be enlightened by some expert. and we submit our queries in all the humili ty of ignorance.— Ex, The Kentucky Proclamation, , ; - I - 1 .r .q*?W The New York Herald in reference tqlh* report Mr. L-ncoln intends to interfere with the Democratic elections in Kentucky remarks : .
