A Beautiful Extract.

contented eyes, upon the beautiful.

mists. soft and dim. rise up the green
meadows, through which the rivuiet

full smiles of the setting suu-ands

Not a sound from those abodes floats
in discord to thine ear-only from the
church tower. soaring high above The
rest perhaps family heard through the
stiffness, swells the note Of holy bell.
Along the mead slow skins the swal-s

though dark clouds by yonder moans

Gaze contentented, for good is around
thee not joyous, for evil is the shadow
of good Let thy soul pierce through
the veil of the senses, and thy sight
plunge deeper than the surface which
gives delight to thine eye. Below the
glass of that river, the pike darts on its
prey; the circle in the wave, the soft
plash among the reeds. are but the
signs of the destroyer and victim.
In the ivy round the oak by the mars
gin, the old owl hungers for the night, I
which shall give its beak and It's tal-s
ons food for its young; and the spray
of the willow trembles with the wing
of the redbreast, whose bright eye sees
the worm on tho sod. Canst thou
count too, O man all the cares, all
the sins that those noiseess ro0t-tops
conceal With every curl of that
smoke to the sky human thought
scars as dark, human hope mclts as
briefly. And the bell from the church
tower, that, to the ear gives but music,
perhaps knels for the dead. The
swallow but chases the moth, and the
cloud but deepens the glory ofihe heav>
ems, and the sweet shadows Of the
earth, nurse but the thunder that shalt
rend the grove, and the storm that
shall devasiaie the haryests. Not
with fear, not with doubt, recognize, 0
mortal, the presence Of evil in the
world. Hush thy heart in the humble
ness of awe, that its mirror may reflect
as serencly the shadow as the light.
Vainly for the moral dost thou gaze on
the landscape, If thy soul put no cheek
on the dull delight OF the senses. Two
wings only ra.se thee 20 the summit
of truth-where tho clerub shall COM
fort the sorrow--where seraph shall
enlighten the joy. Dark as chou
spreads the one wing, white Us snow
the other--mournfu as ihy reason
when it decends into the deep--exult-
ing as thy faith when it springs to the
day-star.--Balioer.

The Combination against Gov. Quitman,
MORE STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS!

We copy, says the Mlsslsslppian, from the
Norfolk (Va) Argus, very reliable Jour
nal, the following letter, making additional
disclosures concerning the movements of the
cabinet in the case against Governor Quit
man. The startling fact is here brought to
view that the Spanish Minister is mp-
Gated in the dark conspiracy against him.
We record the statement with mingled emo.
tons of shame and Indignation. Has it come
to this--that the Government of the United
States can be instigated by, and combine
with, the corrupt representative of foreign
despotic power, to PROSTATE the Chief Ma
gistrate of sovereign State! We have
no desire to comment upon this atrocious
and disgraceful proceeding. ltis a blot up
OH the annals of the country. 1t is an Of
fence against the spirit of the age and OF
our institutions. 1t is wrong to the free
people who are insuted in the person of
their Chief Magistrate. 1t is heartless
and cruel persecution of patriot who has
encountered innumerable perils beneath the
stars and stripes of his country, and whose
only crime against his pursuers, is mistaken
fidelity to the honor and interests of the peo-
pie who summoned him from the pursuits OF
private life to serve them:
CABINET sEssIoN--GENERAL oUTTMAN.

"While write the Cabinet is in session,
and it is said, mot rumor merely,) that the
subject of its deliberations is no less per-
sonage than his ExcelIency Genera. Quit
man. The story goes, that the District
Judge of Louisiana, before whom the suit
against the General was brought, has made
application to the President for advice, and
the opinion is advanced--I do not avow it,
that the Cabinet will decide TO grant the
Court the corporal's guard asked for, in the
event, it needed to induce the Generals at
tendance in New Orleans.
"Spanish Minister, De La Barca, has been
urging matters the past week quite strenu-
ously; and it is as much at his instance, as the
Federal authorities OF Louisiana, that the
requisition is made. De La Berca is deter
mined to push the suit TO extremes.
" He therefore appeals to the President.
and demands compliance with the treaty OBJ
legations Of 1918; and the Court backs him,
because it contends Qaitman has also been
guilty of high treason, in furnishing arms to
the enemies of the Republic, &c, &c, &c.
do not ask you to repose implicit faith in
these statements. for do not; butitis man
iiest that De La Barca is cross about the
affair"
