For the eye cannot dwell, nor the sun east his

CHAPTER, 2.
Her wrath a thousand gnashing fiends attend,
And roll the snakes, and toss the brands of Hell;
The beam of Beauty blasts, dark Heavens impond
Tottoring: and music thrills with startling yell.
After the events that transpired at the
Hall, which Were related, in the previous
chapter, Lord Clermont perceived quite a
change in Behtriee, she was more familiar
and agreeable than usual, and he thought
that the cold heartless expression. of her
beautiful eyes had departed, she appeared
(or he thougkt,..so) to derive groat pleasure
iu 'pleasing him." He. did not know that she
was loading him to the fatal spot, to crush
him with one mighty plow:
HiS Lordship was passionately fond of mu
fee particularly operatic, this she indulged
him in, to the full extent, of her powers
She would generally, soleake,nell music as was
calculated to arouse and enptivate the senses
by its wild and pathetic strains.
She tried to monopolize his society as
much as possible, and hardly over left Mabel
and him together alone.
One evening they were seated in the capa
cious library,
,the lays of the declining sun
penetrated the largo stained glass,windows,
on which was painted the eseutelmou of . the
Belmont family—two ponderous swords cros
sed a helmet and crest, beneath was the mot
to—We conquer, or die.
The long range of elegantly carved.rose
wood shelves on the opposite side of the a

she had been reading to his "Lordship. At
its conclusion he complimented its beatity,
but more particular her charming style of el
ocution;
As she ceased speaking, he sunk back into
her chair, and plunged apparently into a fit
of deep abstraction.
"Might I be permitted to know' thalsub•

said Beatrice in tones of irresiftablo fasoina

In the small, but magnificent Catholic
ehurch, which was situated about a quarter
of a mile from Rochester 'flail, a female rob
ed in•deep black attire knelt upon the cold
gray stones of the chancel, the wax candles
upon the sacred altar was lit, also the silver
chandelier above her head. She was pray

It was midnight, the great clock that stood

Lord Clermont was pacing a small seclu

Rochester Hall.
"He grossly insulted me," mutfered ho,
"but ho shall pay for it with his• life-blood.
As he turned again he nearly came in con
tact with the form of a delicate person who
had suddenly came upon•him.
The figure was that of a young gentleman
of medium height with pale blue eyes, and
handsome countenance, His form was state•

Must be Tried by Military Cora
mission.
We believe that the Amerlean people have
come to the solemn determination to have
Jefferson Davis tried for treason. As yet no
traitor engaged in the slave-holder's rebell
ion has been tried for treason. The trial,
condemnation, and execution of Payne, Har
old, Atzeroth, Mrs. Surratt, and Wirz, was
not for treason. The charges against these
parties were for the assassination of the Pres
ident and the brutal treatment of Union pris
oners, As yet no rebel has been condemned
as a traitor, by either a military commission
or a civil court. Jefferson -Davis, as the
chief controller of the, rebellion, originated
the causes for which the villains referred to
were punished. Hence, if it was right and
proper to try Payne and his associates, and
Wirz, by a military commission, it would be
equally fair and right to arraign Davis - befo •
a similar tribunal. When Davis was arrest
ed, he was in the character of a soldier of
the rebellion. He was armed,—bad 2 -alinost
within call a body of soldiers, and at the time
was engaged practically itTlevying war against
the Government of the 'United States.—
These are plain facts which the people fully
comprehend, and while in the consideration
of these truths, the masses have become con
vinced that it is necessary to the safety, the
dignity, and the country's character for jus
tice, that Davis, the leading• rebel, the inept
ration and the vigor of rebellion, should be
tried for treason and hung as a taaitor. If'
this is not done, the just laws,.the meaning
of the Constitution and the majesty of the
Government, will be forever unvindicated
and constantly in danger of being similarly
assailed, because there will be no precedent
for the punishment of rebellious treason.—
We may confiscate the estates of rebels—we
may disfranchise traitors—we may hang,
draw and quarter the agents in the pay of
armed ' treason—but by all this achieve no
proper vindication of the law, nor indulge in
any appropriate assertion of our power as a
nation and our meaning as a Government.—
But let Jefferson Davis, the chief villain a
mong all the cut-throats, who, if treason had
triumphed, would have been crowned a king
now that treason has failed, .be • tried as a
traitor, convicted and 'hung as a traitor, the
world will receive the act as the evidence
that we mean to perpetuate the rule of our
Government. Some will urge that this can
not bo done—that the construction of the
laws are such as to render it very difficult to
try a man for treason, even while his hands
are dripping with the blood of loyal men, and
the evidence of his treasonable'guilt as plain
as the rays of the noon-day sun. If this re
ally bo so, lot us add another error to the
faults of those who organized the Govern
ment and ordained the laws, by trying Jeff
Davis according to the best mode we possess,
convict and hang him, and then correct our
jurisprudence so that if another traitor as
bloody as ho should arise to, usurp* de
stroy the Government, out descendants will
not be similarly embarrassed as we aro now
while seeking precedent fur the punishment
of treason!
To-day, four fifths of the people who stood
by the Government in its struggle with re
bellious treasou, aro in favor of the extreme
punishment of death to the leading traitorS.
While this sentiment pervades the. mass of
the people in the States that wore loyal, there
is no resentment harbored in the bosoms of
the same men fur the mass of the people whq
were organized, armed and led in fierce fight
to destroy the government.• The confisca

kind of a preacher tte - was.
"He cannot be a Presbyterian," said one,
for ho is not dressed well enough." •
"He is not a Methodist."- said the other,
for his coat is not the right cut for a Meth

"If I could, find his hymn book," sat • io
daughter, "I could soon tell what sort of a

her hand into the saddlebags, and pullintr

Wise and Sensible
Gov. Curtain, in his dedication oration of
the Soldiers' Monument at Girard, Eric
county, remarks the following, which i
wise and trimely, and can be seconded by
all:
"I will not speak anything about the re
sult of this war. Only lot me say,' let us
never have another war—let us seek not a
war with foreign countries, let. us consider it
(if in no other rimy) as a question of* dollars
and cents. Let Wl' pray night and morning
that our statesmen may not draw us into an
other war. We have lost men enough—
there are enough widows and orphans already
is the lard. We have expended money
enough. What have we to do with Maxim,
ilian? lam of the opinion that if we leave
the Mexicans alone they will b e strong
enough in the end to drive the bogus Em
peror into the gulf themselves! (Groat. ap
plause.) And so much the more glory for
them if they do it by themselves. They are
millions strong; they are reasonably warlike
and formidably in' many . respeets. They
will not have an Emperor forced' on them
without their consent, and I can tell you
with all frankness that the change in their
government front a republie to a monarchy
is just as much a-result of the rebellion WI
the battle o I Getteysburgl—The French
Emperor would have never dared to this
with the affairs of any nation on this side
the ocean if we bad not been engaged in an
exhausting war, in which he believed and
hoped; without doubt, that we would .fail,—
But tie expectations are, or will• be disap
pointed. But we.ean go into no more wars,

sentiments of every man before me who has
been in the military service. Ilia' heart
