When wearied in a faithless world,
Who would not wish to soar,
And seek, beyond the gems of night,
some more congenial shore
Where all is change, no lasting joys
Can crown the gayest hours;
The dearest hopes despair alloys,
And fade the fairest flowers.
Where formal friendships fade sermon,
There love is but a ray,
That ne'er dispels the clouds above,
Nor warms life's wintry day.
Tis but.a gleam, a dazzling gleam,
Athwart the path of life,
Which but Muffles our sorrows here,
To leave a darker strife
But, toils no more—life's sorrows done.
The aching heart at rest,
The sinless soul shall find a home
•Afar amid - the blest:
Then Hope no more, with siren tongue,
Shall sing of ideal bliss; •
For, there forgot, in that far land,
ill be the cares of this.

SPEECH OF HON. IL E. WRIGHT.
-
The following speech wan delivered,l by
Hon. HINDILICK B. WitlG/IT, at the organ :
ization of the Union League Association, in
Philadelphia. on the 11th inst.
Mr. President and felloto-citizens of Phil
adelphia:-1 am an unflinching, unyielding,
and unconditional Union man. [Cheers.]
.There are no buts or ifs standing in my way
I am not in favor of sustaining my goyern-
Inept and my country with a proviso. [Ap
plause--eries of. "good—of course you are
not."] I lova kiyal men, and I hate trai
sors. lam not one of those who apologize
for treason, and sympathize with the men
who are now in open rebellion against the
Federal Union. They are the enemies of
my country, and lam theirs. I have been
au active Democrat., for a third of a century.
I am a Demoorat now, and , will continue so
during my life- One of its cherished prin.
ciples, as I learned, was love of country, and
obedience to the Constitution and laws—to
maintain liberty, and if needs be, fight for
it [Long continued applause.] lam one
of those, too, ,who believe that patriotism is
above party, and that it is the duty of all loy
al men -now, irrespective of party names, to
unite 'haart and hand, body and soul, and
put down, at the point of the bayonet, the
most. foul, corrupt, and causeless rebellion
that the world ever saw. The time has not
yet come, Mr. President, when the loyal
men of the North have made up their minds
to sit &Ara with folded arms and surrender
their liberties. It may be the ease with
demagogues, but not with the masses—it
may be so with sympathizing Secession trai
tors, but not with patriots. Our liberties
cost too much to be so easily surrendered.
Our ancestors were seven long years in es
tablishing the American Union, and degen
erate indeed are we if we caunot devote
twice that number of years in maintaining
and perpetuating it. They sealed it in a
covenant with their heart's blood—it is hard
ly yet cool; and yet do I hear men every
where doubting if the Union can be saved.
Is it because 'they would see it destroyed ?
Have they a relish for agrarianism? Would
they welcome the guillotine? [Laughter. ]
Under the pretext that this is "an Abolition
war," they say "lot Abolitionists - fight it."
They cry "peace," when there is no peace.
Now, sir, I am no Abolitionist, and yet I am
in favor of fighting this war to the bitter
end—till rebellion is crushed out, and the
bleeding Union restored. lam as anxious,
too, for peace as any man living, -put it must
be a peace with one ['aim ,aeloostitution
and one flag It must be a peace alike hon
orable to the courage of the. North, as well
as the honor of the country. Not that kind
of peace which Northern - sympathizers with
Southern treason would have —a peace
which would destroy the last vestize and
hope of human liberty. But, sir, how idle
and delusive to talk of peace while armed
rebellion is in the ascendant. The rebel
press say that "if the whole Yankee nation
will lay themselves at our feet, and become
our slaves, we will spurn them from us. 'We
will reunite u'on no terms upon no eon ••
tion, with them." The great leader of this
bogus, bastaru confederacy, indi speech re
cently delivered by him to the Mississippi
Legislature, wondered, in utter amazement,
"how he could have had any love or regard
for the old Union, composed of the descend
ants of men from the bogs and fens of Ire
land and Scotland, of low and vulgar origin.
With such vulgar creatures he would never
again unite." [Laughter.] With such sea
timeuts from the rebel press, and the great
unchained leader of rebel hordes, who in
his senses at the North can talk al' peace ?
The evidences, to my mind, are that the
man who does so is a traitor himself, and so
I must regard him, despite his declarations
to the!cojitrary. Self-pride would at least
make me resent that cool and defiant inso
lence uttered by Jeff. Davis and his abject
and wicked coadjutor.
When have rebels intimated the least de
sire, upon their parts, to reunite the Govern
ment ? [A voice, "never."] At no time or
place to my knowledge. They are as inso
lent today as they were the day they fired
into the country's flag on Fort Sumpter.—
' Their accursed mission is to kill and murder.
They are inoved and instigated by the devil,
and with him'ouly will they make terms.—
With the vulgar Yankees at the North, (and!
they denominate all loyal wen Yankees,) the.
decendants• of men who emigrated from the
bogs avd lens of Ireland and Scotland, they
will make no peace. They will never reunite
with us, If peace cannot be had on honora
ble terms, what alternative have we left but
Ito fight for an honorable peace ? Our Rev
oluttonary fathers were met at every corner
Ly Cowboys and Tories, but they fought on
and fought through. They humbled the ,
enemy of liberty abroad; and conquered and '
subdued him at home. [Applause.] What
nobler exampld can we follow ? Hallowed
be the precedent. It is worthy of all imita
tion. These same howling, dishonorable
peace-shriekers at the North are the twin
brothers of the Cowboys of Revolutionary
memory, and a . destiny and fame as damna
ble and overpowqring awaits them. Can the
memory of that man live who stabs his coun
try in her hour of trial and danger? The
fituie of Arnold shall be the fame of that
man—the curses of unborn millions are hie
heritage. Let alltuch join their dearly be
loved brethern in arms against their country;
let them kiss their bands imbrued in the
blood .01'1001 thouiands, than upon the bet

how glorious would it be, to have-peace with
a whole country? ? but how delusive the hope
till the proud head of reheis is , humbled ?
Then we can lusie peace: [Voices, "Yes."]

seen and mot; the other a secret' viper con
cea;cd, but biting with more deadly venom.
[Applause.] This terrible war did not orig
inatein the loyal North. For its terrible
consequences we are not accountable. It is
no work of ours: A nation bankrupt—a
people demoralized- ,- -a vast commercial and
manufacturing interest destioyed—eities de
cimated of their peaceful, industrious inhab
itants—hundreds of thousands of onr broth
ers and sons slain in battle—these are no
trophies of ours. This has all been done to
appease the dark, evil spirit of Secessionism
—a crime that has no atonement, a stain of
blood that all the waters of the ocean cannot
efface. And these are our beloved brothers,
whom Northern sympathizers would hug,
all covered with bloody gore of their own
household, to their bosom I a species of sym
pathy which sharpens the appetite of the
crocodile to devour its own young. If there
ever was an hour since this rebellion began
when loyal men should gad together, it is
now, now while I speak. Peace with a
whole country is denied to us, and we must
fight like true men. We must fight for our
Constitution; we must fight for our homes
and.our firesides. [Applause]
The safety of the Union is worthy of our
best and holiest efforts. It is t our country,
it is our Constitution. it is our liberty that
traitors are making a terrible effort to over
throw and destroy. To prevent this I ap
peal to every sentiment of the human heart;
to the unsullied memories of your brave and
patriotic ancestors; to the privileges which
you eujoy'under wise and humane laws; to
your liberty conferred in a degree unknown
and unsurpassed by the people of any other.
nation ; to •these inestimable laws which
guarantee to you the liberty of speech, and
the holiest liberty of all—to worship Al
mighty God according to the dictates of your
own conscience; to the comforts which sur
round your domestic hearth; to the graves
of your fathers; to all and everything that
ennobles you as men, proud of your country,
its institutions and laws. In the name of
all those blessings, and the hope that they
may descend to your children, I appeal to
you now to stand firmly together and swear
by heaven and earth that we will not permit
our liberty to be destroyed. [Applause.]—
There are many things connected with the
Administiation the Government and the
war that do not meet my approbation. In
my Congressional course in the past two
years. I have differed widely in many mea
sures of policy with the Government. But
as to all those which were designed to put
down_rebellien,-I-gave it my honest and un
yielding support. I differed from it on its
emancipation measure, and those which were
of a political character. But because of this
d ifference - , - and - hecause othhebtiffina n
which Our campaigns was connected, it none
the less abated my %dor to save the country
and to save the U nion. The Administration
was of the Republican school in politics ;
was Democratic. This gave me no reason to
embrace treason or sympathize with traitors.
If it had, I should have degraded my
name and dishonored my country. I think
it was bad policy_to_do many_things-connec-
ted especially with the slave question; but
because of this, no man can throw it into I
my teeth that committed, in word thought,
or deed, an act of disloyalty. And I chal
lenge the nation to point me to an official
tot which leaned towards treason. I had. I
have, no sympathy with these vile men who,
in their madness, not. only level their shaft
at the Union, but at the heart of every loyal
man in it. My sympathies are all with and
for my country. [Applause.] This is the
doctrine which mustulumately prevail thro'-
out the North.. The influence of bad men
will daily grow less, and in a few months you
will hardly see the man bold enough and
wicked enough to say that he was ever on
the side of the rebellion. It may not be safe
for him to say so, if he have the moral de
pravity to think so.
Gentlemen, it is your duty, in-these times'
to encourage and strengthen public opinion
Our brave soldiers are uudergoing the dan
gers of the field; they are doing battle like
men for the cense of American liberty.. Let
the voice from. the whole North pour daily
into
.the 'camp, and lot it be the voice of en
eourageineut, of' honor, of praise. , Let the
soldier, when ho retires at 'night upon his
straw pullet, feel that, notwithstanding the
storm way rage without, and the cold chills
make his flesh quiver, and the foreboiings
upon his mind of the fearful struggle for life
ou the morrow, there are warm and sympa
thizing hearts fl sr him at home, wbo pray
for the success of the holy cause which cal
led him forth, and that there are hearts them
also Wapitis , iu exultation at the hope of sa

try. This shall nerve him up to his
great task. This shall tire his heart, and
put s:rength in his good right arm. This
shall lead him t. the battle under the belief
that, if he falls, a nation shall mourn at his
grave. [Applatise.] And this sentiment,
spread broadcast over the land, shall drive
to their hiding places, in contusion uud shame
the creatures, culled men, who stand ready
now to shout,over the enemy's victory, and
laugh over the deadand the dying who glor
iously fell upon Freedom's battle-field. One
would think that the deep scut gashes of our
soldiers, sending forth their hearts' bloOd,
would blanithe the hardened cheek of trea

And this is liberty of spiech-1 And for the
suppression of the utterance' of suelt heresy
a great constitutional principle is violated.
May men talk and execute treason with im
punity,? it' they prefer the despotism, , of
Jeff. „Davis, let them seek refuge unde'r is
arm. [Applause.]: I have made up, my
mind that I will stand fast by the old flag,
sod •vritea it goes dowtri have no other
jeet to live fof. For I would prefef death
to despotism and chaos. Aud this, assured •

With the-loyal States the question now is,
shall the war be carried on with all the pow
er of tha nation—or shall we surrender the
Government and country into the hands of
traitors? That is the question. One or the
other of these alternatives .is inevitable.—
There is no reason for a wise and good man
to doubt. In fact, he - who stops to doubt is
halt way over to the enemy. I return yott
my thanks, gentlenien, for your atteation,

New Ilse of Bloodhounds
One fine summer's Sunday afternoon, as
a steamboat was stepping at a landing on
the Mississippi to take in wood, the passen
gers were surprised to see two or three
young, athletic negroes perched up in a tree
like monkeys, 'and about as many blood
hounds underneath, barking and yelping and
jumping up in vain endeavors to seize the
frightened uegroes. The overseer was stand
iug by encouraging the dogs, and several
bystanders were looking on enjoying the
sport. It was only the owner of some blood
hounds training his dog s and keeping them
in 'practice so as to be le to hunt. down the
runaways, who often secrete themselves in
the woods. It was thought fine sport and
useful, too, in its way, ton years ti 4 o.
Rut now the same hounds are being made
use of all through Alabama and blississippi,
and we havempo doubt of other of the South
ern States, to hunt down white men hiding
in the woods to escape the fierce conscrip
tion act, which is now seizing about every
man under sixty-years of age able to carry a
gun. Nor is this the worst. It is found
that those, camped *out are supplied with
food brought them by their children, who go
out apparently to play in - the woods, and
then slip off and carry provisions to their
lathers. To meet this exigenvy bloodhounds
are now employed to follow these little chil
dren- on their pious errands; and the other
day a beautiful little girl was thus chased
and overtaken in the woods, and there torn
in pieces alone and unaided, by the - trained
bloodhounds, of Jefferson Davis! Nor is
this a solitary case. It appears that many
white men, women and children are thus
now sacrificed in order to carry out the con
scription act in all its 'terrors.
In a large number of eases those who are
thus hunted down are such as have in some
way exhibited Union proclivities, for al
though such have ceased to offer any oppo
skier, to the Rebels, they do not like taking
up arms against t ‘ lie flag of the Union to
hieh - timuy - orth - ere have, - 11(
sworn allegiance. These persons and all
suspected are especially marked out as ob
jects of the conscription and the bloodhound
be their env and fighting utilities what they
may. An d c these are the men huntel down
with dogs, and their wives and their chil
dren if they attatept to fallow them. There
are, however, many men not Unionists and
willingia_coe tribute-of-their-property-to
any amount to support the Rebels, but now
being drawn into the conscription, or, hav
ing tasted the desperate neglects of tho Rob
el service, have deserted, and will not again
take up arms. Their wives are ladies, most
,delicate and tender'; and their children
brought up with a refinement and delicacy
of the most perfebt character until this war
began. And these are the women that now
have to wander alone in the woods in search
of their husbands or brothers or sons,, and
these are the little - girls, who, going to carry
food to their relatives, are liable at any mo
ment to bo overtaken by switt hounds let
loose and set upon. their track by the agents
of Jefferson Davis.
It may be doubted if war itself ever but
once in the histary of Mankind proved so
d isastorous to.a people by the hands of those
engaged in carrying it on. Perhaps in the
final destruction of Jerusalem there may
have been scenes of great and more fiendish
cruelty by the factious of Jahn and. Simon
destroying each other while both were at
war with the Romans. And what must be
the state of the South when a delicate wo
man, who would hardly set her feet on the
grouud for delicacy, and used to have ser
yams to attend upon her every wish' 'and
want, is reduced to straits like these, and
children are torn to pieces by the dogs of
human hunters after white flesh for Jeffer
son Davis' shambles ?
POVERTY.—BuIwor aniys that poverty is
only an idea, in nine eases out of ton. Some
men with ton thousand dollars a year, suffer
more for want of means, than others with
but three hundred. The reason is, - the rich
er man has artificial wants. his. income is
ten thousand, and by habit ho spends twelve
or fifteen thousand, and ho suffers enough
from being dunned for unpaid debts to kill
a sensitive man. Alnau who earns a dollar
a day and does not run in debt, as the hap
piest of the two. Very tow poops who have
never been rich, will believe this, but it is
us true as God's word . There aro people, of
course, who are wealthy, and enjoy their
wealth ; but there are thbusands upon thou
sands, with princely imams, who never
know a moment's pupa, because they , live
above their, mew's. There is really more
happiness in the world among working peo
ple, than among those who are called

ASHAMED qr
, .
Little Sallie Waathefittaghtei ll or'aa Hon
est blacksmith, and Was a very freak' 'wartn
hearted child. , A new ,house had. been e
rected on a high hill near r bytt fine, gentht
lima, from the city; and Sallie was :quite
delighted to see in his carriage, drawn by
two boy horses, a sweet little girl about her
-own age. Once Rhen4he was in the-whop,
they stopped to say something to, Giles, a
bout shoeing the horses and Sallie , Smiled
at Lucy who return tlireiw ber niee"red
apple. She caught it so nicely that they
both laughed heattly and beuame friends.;
for little children have none of that mean
pride which we sometimes see among older
people„ till they are 'taught it.
One day, when Sallie" Was 'dressed very
neatly, she asked leave to'take a Walk, had
bent her steps toward . the. mansion on the
bill- She did not know how to go rouad-by
the road, so she *climbed over the fence and
wall till she reached the grounds.- There,
to her delight, she saw - Luey on a little gray
potty which the,coachtuan was leading care
fully by the bridle. She drove up to, the
wall and asked in a kind voice, 'have you
berries to sell, little girl ?'
She laughed, and said; No , I'm Sallie;
don't you remember me, I came to play with
you a tittle while: May, that man open the
iron gate forme ? It is yery,4eavy.
would like to play with you and let you
ride on my pony,',replied, pleasant little Lu- .
cy, 'but I know mamma would not allow me
to play with you.'
'Why not ?' asked Sallie in wonder. I
never say naughty words, and rm all dress
ed clean this afternoon.'
'Oh,' said Lucy, 'it is bbeause your Pether
works with his shirt-sleeves rolled up and
has a smutty face and hands,'
'Oh, the smut washes off!' replied the in
nocent child. 'He is always clean in the
evening! and when he has his Sunday clothes
on, he's the handsomest Mall in ,the world.
Mother is pretty, all the time!'
'Oh, but—mamina would not let you rn
know, because sour father'shoes horses,' ad
ded Luny.
'That is no harm, is it? Don% your fath
er want hislorses shod ?' naked the Wroddee
struck Sallie.
'Yes; but he won't lot me play with' poor
people's ciiildren; answered buoy. , , t.
We're not poor, we're very rich; , ' replied
Same. 'Father owns the house an d shop
and we've got a cote and and'a cLtIP, And twenty
chickens, and the darlingest little baby boy
in the world!'
But after all this argument little Lucy
shook her head Sadly and said, wouldn't
dare to ask you in; but I'llgile_you Rom
flowersSo Sallie went back •over fence and wall
wondering much at whit had passed. • Then
for the tyst time in her life she wished her
father would wear his Sunday clothes every.
1 1 day just as the minister, and the doctor ant
Lucy's father did.. She felt almost ashatund
of htin-.--so noble, mad kind and good—as
she entered - the shop to wait for him. She
-stood by the forge trying to enjoy the sight
of the sparks as s - they danced and fought each
other after stroke of the" hammer. • But her
thoughts were so troubled.that she could not
see them, nor, the beautiful pictures which
she always found before the blazing fire;—
mountains, castles, churches, angels all were
gone, and there was nothing left in the shop
but weed fire, hat sparks, and smutty maul
Tears came into Sallie's oyes, but she crowd
ed them back because she could not tell why
she shed them. ,
The fire was out;' the blacksmith pulled
off his apron, laid aside his hammer, and
took . the soft hand of Sallie in his' own hard
and smutty ore. For the first time in her
Mb she withdraw it to see if the black came
off. Just then the ,ears came in cracking
and whizzing; and to her joy she saw little
buoy on the platform waiting for her father.
The conductor helped' him from the. steps,
and he called out to Lucy, 'rake my hand,
child; but she put both her hands u to
her face to hide it, and spun& busk into the
carriage, alone; while the coachman, with a
'blushing face, almost lifted the finely dressed
gentleman into it. Oh, what a odd sight 1
kie had been drinking wine till his reason
was gone, and ho could not walk, so his own
sweet child was ashamed of him 1
Then Sallie grasped the hard hand of Giles,
not caring now whether the smut rubbed off
or not, and told' him all that was in her heart.
'Oh, father,' she cried, 'I was Igo wicked that
i was just beginning to be ashamed of you
because your facer was black, and you did
not diess up like agentleman all 'the time !
1 am so glad you are a blacksmith instead of

,anecdote to a
friend of ours: TraVeling in early ' tiaiihbod,
in a public Conveyance in a Sleuth Bieteria
state, ho found himself in the company, of
three other perSonet, 'consisting of aYonag
lady and gentleman, her hu.sband r athi of an

' uddetily abi ~brawny Kentuckian got in
toli the coaalt. tintokiiig a eigat, and I frowned
fiercely around; as ' , rattail as to say; . "I'm
',half' horse, halt' alligater, the,yaller flower of
the forest, all brimstone' but the head and,
Oars; and that's 'aqitfortis." ' :In fact, ' ho
looked as savage as a meat-axe, and puffed
forth :huge volumes 'Of smoke, without ref
erende.'tmtlie eatnpanrwithin, especially of
the lady, who manifested certain symptoms
of annoyance. Prasently after some whis
pering, the gentleman with her, in the pm.
litests accents, requested the strang er not to
smoke, as it annoyed his companion. The
fellow answered: "I reckon I've paid my
„place. I'll smoke as much as I darn please,
add all hell shan't, stop me no how. With
that he looked dangerous, and rolled •his
eyes roiled as fiercely as a rattlesnake. . It
iraSOVident he had no objection'to a quar
rel, and if it occurred it was likely to lead to
a-deadly struggle. 'The young man who
had spoken .to hint shrank back and was si
lent. Clay felt his gallantry aroused. He
considered for a utoment whether he should
interfere; but experienced a natural reluc
tance to draw upon himself the brutal vio
lence of his gigantic adversary. In that
lawless country, he knew his life might be
sacrificed unavenged. He himself physical
ly unequal to the contest, and he thought,
after all, it was not his business Quixotically
.to taker up another maw's quarrel.. Feeling
'Pity for the' insulted and disgust toward the
'insulter, hol deterinined to not notice; when
.very. quietly, indeed, the cloaked ' figure in
the corner assnmed an upright positicu, and
the mantle waif 'suffered to fall from it with- •
..ont,effort or . excitement. The small but
sinewy frame of a man, plainly dressed in 4
ti g ht y battened frock-coat, with nothing re
Olarlbble abinte'his appearance, was seen,
and ,a tut. ot bright gray eyes sought the
fierce optics-of the ferocious Kentuckian.
