Hon. Wm L. Yancey made speech at Wash
ington on the 2lst ult, which from the tele-
graphic report, We judge to have been an en-
ccllcnt one. Mr.. Yancey shows that under
the cry of" Union" the people may be led to
indorse the most moustrous outrage on the
Constitution. He says:

maa or any party. I Ihopc men are here repre-
senting all parties excepting that party which

in the present canvass is the integrity and safe
ty of the Constitution. (Cries of good and

EE We KNEW.

If we knew the cares and crosses
Crowding round our neighbor's way;
If we knew the little losses,
Sorely grieyous day by day,
Would we then so often cbide him
For his lack of thrift and gain
Leaving on his heart a shadow,
Leaving on our lives a stain ?
If we knew the clouds above us,
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling,
in our blind and weak despairl
Would we shrink from little shadows,
Lying on the dewy grass,
While tits only birds Of Eden,
b just in mercy flying past!
If we knew the silent story,
Qgivering through tho heart Of pain,
Would our wesianhood dare to doom them
Back to hstmts of guilt again!
Life hath many tangled crossing,
Joy hath many break Of woe,
Aud the checks, tear washed, are whitest,
This the blessed angels know.
Let us reach into our bosoms
For the key to other lives, .
And with love toward erring nature,
Cherish good that all survives;
SO that wheh.opr disrobed spirits
Soar to resffhs Of light again,
/ We may say, dear Father, judge us
As we judge our fcllow-men.

Peeped through the gathering gloom; !
And silence brooded DER the type g

And vacant were their places,
When through the door a william ,crept,
And stole Dick Johnson's spaces
o. foulest wrong beneath the sun!
o, deepest of disgraces
The darkest crime that can be done
Is that of stealing spaces.
When the forgiving angels pen
All other sin grasses,
Alone, untouched, shall still remain
The sin of stealing spaces.
Dick went to 'lunch,' and left his case
Filled--running o'er--with letter,
And thought he would return again
When copy should get fatter.
When he came back he took his place
Again before his cases.
You should have seen his attitude
When he beheld his spaces!
It was no time for charity,
| Or other Christian graces;
He wildly cried-I'll dot the eyes
/ OF him who stole my spaces!'
The Fiend still lives and walks the earth,
And so must walk forever!
He cannot die--a wretch like him
For rest awaits him never
And printers, for long years to come,

Well knowing that his spirit still

severely cut about the head with knife,
and otherwise badly injured. From
the effects of tho wound in his head,
II punctured and depressed fracture,
paralysis, epilepsy and ia:ocy, have
since supervened. After continuing
in this condition for nearly year, the
operation of trepanning was success
fully performed in Richmond few
days since. In the short space of time
