rnERIGur oF SECESSION.

The doctrine Of notification, exploded 10
its old form, now takes new one, and styles
itself the right Of secession. This is bu. an.
other attempt TO reconcile revolution with tho
constitutional action Of the Government, and
10 bring the sanction Of the law TO justify re-
bellion. II nigh. as well be attempted 10
prove that death is altogether consistent win
life, and that poison may be used ns whole
some food.
Il seems to be forgotten by them who car
nv their ideas Of State sovereignty so Tar as
10 maintain the right Of secession, II eny
State shall choose 10 withdraw from the In.
ion-it seems to be forgotten by them that
the same people who formed tho State Gov
crnments formed the National Government
also; that the National and State Govern
ments are over the same people and that
both systems derive their supremacy from
the one and the same source. But are there
two supreme sovereignties over one and the
same people No, that could not be. Bu,
there are two sys,cms adapted TO different
spheres, one including the other aid not con.
a,c,ins. The national sovereignty, rs EN-.
bodied in The Constitution and the Lave Of
I
the United States, is Of such paramount su'
ptemscy tina, nothing a, variance herewith
in the constitution or the laws Of any State
can have validity.
If there should be collision between the
two systems Of National and State Govern
ments, and question of allegiance should q
rise, a citizen holding the doctrine that he Is
bound to bic State FIRST, aud only through hef
TO the Government os the Union, NIGH, no

The JUG AND THE HEART The jug is
most singular utensil. A pail, tumbler
or decanter may be rlnsed, and you may
satisfy yourself by optical proof that 1t is
clean; but the jig has little hole in the
top, and the interior is all darkness. No
eye penetrates it no hand moves over
the surface.-You can clean it only by
putting in water, shaking it up and pour
ing it out. If the water comes out clean,
you Judge you have succeeded in cleaning
the jug, and vice versa. Hence the jng
is like the human heart. No mortal eye
can look into its recesses, and you can on
ly judge of It's purity by what comes out
OF it.

The Land Of Gold.
By MRS. II. ]. LEWiS

T1e Land of Gold Aud what beside is there
Round which tho tehdrlls Of the heart may
1wmes
Are there bright cottage homes where children
fair
Peep through the lattice thick o'erlaid with
vine?
Arc there broad fields of waving grass and grain
And herds that hoIneward roam at hush oil
eve,
And clear, cool streams that wander through
the PLAIN,
And birds that love near man their nests 10
weave?
Are there no clonds but such as beauty lend,
To soiirst lies " it'll stars intently bright:
With it's wild airs do richest perfumes tend
To form q second Eden Vi delight
Are affairs there wherein the sonl may lay
The burden of It's loneliness and care'
Doth deep-toncd bell upon tho Holy Day,
Call weak and tempted hearts 10 Iervent
prayer?
What! none Of these in that fair Land Of Gold,
Nor, love, nor friendship, yet thou must de-
part?
God help thee when burning hope grows cold,
And disappointment goads or breaks thy
heart?

SILENCE. What strange power
there is N silence? How many resolu-
tons are fogmed-how many sublime
conquests effected during that pause,
when the lips are closed land the soul
secretly feels tle eye of her maker upon
her? When some of those cutting,
sharp. blithing words have been spoken,
which send the hot Indignant blood into
the face and head, OF those TO whom they
are addressed, keep silent, look on in awe
for a mighty work is going on within
them, and the spirit of evil, OR their
guardian angle, is very near to them in
that hour. During that pause an item
has been scored in the book which the
day of judgement shall see open. They
are the strong ones OF the earth, the
mighty food for good or evil, those who
know how to keep silence when 1t is a
pain a gr,Mto them, those who give
time to their own souls, to wax strong
against temptations, or to powers OF wrath
to stem them with their whitening pas
