The wide and shining home of God:
But could we rise to moon or sun,

Still heaven-would. spread above us

With all their worlds, approach his face;

All fed by streams of living power,
That spring from one Almighty Will,
Whate'er his thoughts conceive, lola
And is this all that man can claim 1 '
Is this our longing's final aim 1
To be like all things round—no mire

In the genial sunshine it sheds around.

The Smooths and the "Roughs."
Every day We hoar of the lawless seta of
the "Roughs," while comparatively little is
said of the doings of the •Stiteotha. Yet
your oily, soft-spoken gentlemen who g ide
noiselessly through society,---unobjeetional,
but fascinating, do more mischief than the
bolder 'rascals. The Rough has sometimes a
touch of rude generosity in his nature, but
your Smooth villain of society, with whom
scoundrelisw is a fine art, is utterly remorse

the traveller whom it has lulled into a pro

> Whoever believes that knavery, cruelty,
hypocrisy,; or any other vice, can, under any
circumstances, prompt even the temporal
happiness of him who practices it, is but a
.uperficial observer and a shallow reasoner.
In .e world's parlance, men_ who acquire
'wealth a,n.d: influence by unwarrantable
means are called prosperous. But what is
prosperity in the true and legitimate sense
of the word ? "Webster tells us : "Advance
_or-gan-in-anything gooV"- ---- --No-man-can-be
deemed truly prosperous whose conseterfee is
ill at ease; and whoever enriches himself at
the expense of justice, duty ail honor, - pluuf

city which no in igence, oL Ae senses, no
adulation of time-servers and parasite,s, noth
ing that money can buy or power command,
will effectually or permanently relieve
Another strong argument in favor of. do
ing right is, that out of every hundred men

come to poverty and shame. This is
a, statistical fact, and taken in combination
with the other undeniable truth, that the
small per tentage of aspiring knives who
win their game feel in their souls that it has
been dearly won at the sacrifice of inward
peace and self-esteem, should long ago have
made all the world honest, on selfish .princi:.
pies.
The retrospect review of a , disappointed
scamp must be melaucholy-in—the — extre .
die sees, of course, with 'terrible distinctness,
how each departure from rectitude helped to
cloud his life, sink him deeper in misery and
alienate from him the sympathies of the in):
ble and the good. He is coneious of therbe
sotted blindness whiek led him to put his
trust in 'cunning and chicane, iustead of
choosing the path of duty and leen . the
consequences to Providence, and is Fampelled
to ackneWledge. to himself that roguery is the
twin of folly, and a pure life the best • evi
dence of a sound-brain well at of a Chris
tian spirit.
Be Issured, therefore, that it is good
worldly policy to keep the coricience el-
It tends to comfort, content, real happiness :
nor can this liiir earth, and the excellent
things with which it-abounds, be thoroughly
enjoyed by any Cremes to whose gold cling
the curses of the wronged. 'The closing
scenes of a life are, however, the valid test
of the wisdom or folly which shaped its
course. Sir Walter Scott's dying words toll
the whole story : "Be'a good man, Lockhart,
nothing else will comfort you when you.
come to lie here."
Pretty Indident.
We have heard of a very pretty little in
cident the other day, which we cannot help
relating. A young lady from the North, it
seems, was woed and won, by a youthful
physician, living in California. When the
_engagement was made, the doctor was rich
having been very successful at San Francis
co It had not existed six monthr4how
when by an unfortunate investment, he lost
tlie entire "heap." This event came upon
him, it should be added, just as he was ma
kin., ready to come and claim his bride.—
Wit does he do? Why like an honorable,
chivalrous irmig'fellow as -ho is, he sits
down and writes -the lady every particular
of the unhappy turn :which had taken'• place
in'bis fortunesossuring her that if the ef
fect produces any change in her feeling to
wards him,'She is releasecrfrorn every prom
ise she lied made' him. Ant what does the
dear, good girl do ? Why she takes a lump
of pure gold, which her lover'had sent her
when in prosperity. as a k 'Sake, and hav
ing, it manufaetnrect into a ri , g, forwards it
to him, with the following biblb inscription,
engraved in disenct characters on he in
side : •
"Entreat me not to leave thee, or to re
turn houi following alter thee; for whith •r_
thou goest, Will I go; and where thou iodg
est, will I lodge"; thy people shall be my
people, and thy God my God ; where thou
diest will I die, and there will I be buried;
the Lord do so to mound more also, if aught
but death part thee and me."
The lover . idolized his sweetheart more
than ever when he received this 'precious
evidence of her devotion to him, both in
storm and in sunshine. •We may add • thri f t
fortune soon again smiled upon the physi
cian and, that'he subsequently" tturnect to
the North, to wed the sweet girl he loved,
and who loved him with such an undying
affection. Nay, more, the happy bride and_
bridegroom passed through -our city, .not
long since, On'llieir way . to the •home of the
latter in the golden State. Reader; this is
all3rue. Young ladies who lead the bible
as closely as the, heroine of our incident
seems to have done, are pretty sure to make
good sweethearts; and better--wives.-_

Loyal or Disloyal:
. I lately dined in company with one •of
these insane young gentlemen.tho ' ..as Theo

The young gentleman went on for some time
when Mrs. --- said to him politely :.
you sympathize with the rebels — , why
don't you go and join them?"
"I, madame ? I assure you lam perfect

"Indeed_?"
. "Why, certainly, only I stand by the gov
ernment not by the administration. _ •

"I mean I am•no abolitionist'•
"That is, I am afraid we are alienating the

"So Tom ffeym il our says." •
"In ather 'words, I am a Union man, but
I don't think war can restore it."

"But, my dear madame, the war is uncon

•So George Ticknor Curtis says!'

'So Fernando Wood say 62
'Come, then , isn't it hopeless?"
'So the London Times says.'
'Yes, my dear mada but what (It earth
do you say ?'
"I say that whoever s nds against the
-administration-in_this_war stands-against-the
government. I say_th_a_t_w_hoe_ver_says_he_is.
no abolitionist means that he inten to em
barrass the war. I say that whibever is
afraid of Alienating the South is 'afraid of
irritating a snake that has already stung
him. I say that whoever thinks that force
cannot restore the Union does not know that
union is the most irresistible instinct of the
American people. I say that whoever says
the war is unconstitutionally carried 'on is in
danger of being split — by the ttopest — hr
which - he - is - trying to splitimiri I say that
whoevetoys our liberties are imperiled by
the government and trot by the rebellion ,
works and: prays for the rehella and

.annihilation of all civil liberty and order. I
say that whoever calls the war fratricidal has
no more conception of national honor than
lottery dealers are said to have of honesty.
I say that whoever considers the cause of
the United States hopeless hates that cause
in his heart, and is utterly ignorant of the
character of the people and the facts of the
situation, That is what I say, and that is
what every truly American man and woman
says and believes."
The young gentleman made no reply ; but
the next day, at the club, he said to a frien

A Thoughtful Friend.
Among the.-incidents-of April Ist in this
city was the following,: •
Two fast friends,•a merchant and a manu
facturer, are neighbors. Upon:the merchant's
house was a mortgage of $50u4.). The mer
chant by business losses was set back for a
long time, and the mortgage wasa necessity
he could not avert. The manufactureris
rich. He has been liberal, and in verifica
tion of Scripture, "The liberal soul has been
fat." On the let ult. he learned that a mort
gage encumbered the house of his friend.
He wont to the holder, paid off the mortgage,
With-the-interest duo, amounting to $5160,
and received the papers. He went_to_his
friend's store, found him alone, • and placed
the papers before lira. Th e merchant'
glanced at them,' smiled a no•yon-don't sort
of a smile, and prepared to throw the papers
in the stove. •
. He was tobi.first to examine them,. and he
did so. The signatures were real, there was
no mistaking , them. "There," said the man
ufacturer; "we have been good friends this
many a year. If I had died I should have
willed this amount to you. I much prefer
giving it to you now." The merchant bent
his head over•his book, and tears trickled
down upon the paper. Language gave him
no . adequate form o f expression. Such
?April Fools" are not hard to take. To
submit to the infliction all ,day long would
be distasteful to few.—/Ititodelphia. North

presided over by Cul, Everazd Bider, the
following resolutions were , una'nimously a

WHEREAS, Our Government; the wisest
and best, ever devised by the wisdoin_of_min„
is now struggling for the perpituity of its
glorious institutions, for the God-given right
so dear to every true American heart, the

.as,_WAs—hear—With—feelings disap
pointmentand indignation the howl of par
tisan spirit, and the open avowals if insidi
ous,demagogues that • end:inger our 'thitiniial
safety, and . embarrass our Federal and State
autdrities; and. wethenr cif the ‘synipathibiers'
at home their bired;`eorrespeudents in
,the ariuyr 7 the - alder's., and abetters of this
unholy rebellion—circulating the foul slan
der that the drafted men - of Pennsylvania
are disloyal, disaffected and opposed to a
further prosecution of the ,war; therefore.
Resolved, That the Confederate States left
'the Union without any just.cause, and that
no terms or other than the uncondi
tional 'surrender and' return of the traitors
to their allegiaficei.shouhrbe offered by our
Government.
, Resolved, that, baying left our peaceful
homes, ,the hearthstones of our. fathers, our
wives and' children, We are deterniined 'de

its claims and uphold its war pulley, until
the emblem - of' our national power and great
ness shall represent every, state and territory.
of the Union, and every traitor, North and
South, yieli allegianea to' the will of the
people.
Resolved, That this regiment, composed

"No terms with Traitors '
",but submission to
the rightful authority of the Government.
Resolved, That we have no sympathy with
"war parties in time of peace, - or pence par-.
ties in time of war," because in our past his
tory thy have always given "aid and`com
fort" to our enemies, and in .the.present in
staneothey are both the apologists and sup
porters of the traitors in their treason.
Resolved,. That we spurn with contempt
.all propositions Made by northern copier
heads, that we ought to approach armed
traitors with terms of compromise or offers
of peace; because tho only honorable com
promise that we cairmake with them is, that
they lay down their arms and return to their
allegiance as loyal citizens.
Resolved, That the opinion prevalent in
the Northern States, that the 'drafted men
from the hills and valleys of the old Key
stone State are becoming .demoralized and
will not fight, le false and slanderous, and

those Northern traitors who are two cow

face to face.
Resolved, That we are willing to bear our
_full_proportion _of the ,sacrifices which our
country demands in this Crisis from every .
good citizen, titid we are utterlx opposed to
any policy or party which counsehThitler 4 ne=

call, and especially for his efforts to have this
sick and.mnunded returned to hopitals with

duty.
We offer dour.)Ortinest and honest support
to.tho Executive, the army, .and Ihe. loyal
peciple of the country, in'Ornshing out the

carnage,, and glories in the blood and • tri,
umphs over the graves of men
,to• whom prin
