Ike Parti.ston,s vacation.

%A -SEt oAB Va
Dear Bob: Bully for vacation. I'm
having the tip>tOppest time you ever see-
Uncle Nathe was ae glad to see me as could
be. for he's cross old curmudgeon, and
makes the boys toe the mark. l tell you
He said be hoped I'd be good, and said /
shouldn't be anything else. He whispered
something to Aunt Hetty, and looked at
me. but didn't seem to mind it. He's
got new horse that is very old and pre-
tends that be can't get along unless you
push him With whip. It's all sham, for
l stuck brad into q stick and touched
him with il, and he went like smoke. He
kicked bis hind beels through the dasher,
broke the wagon, and landed me and Bill
into the ditsh. Uncle Nathe said be
couldn't see what had got into the beast,
but guees it was the brad: though 1
thought it wasn't best to mention il.
We had . fag-raisine here yesterday.-
II was big fun, you'd better believe. We
hadn't any flag; so got one of Aunt Het-
TVS sheets and painted a blue SQUARE in
one corner with her indigo bag, and chalk.
ed out some stars; then / got Uncle Nathe's
pot OF red paint that he marks his sheep
with, and made some elegant stripes. and
the flag was done. We took a bran new
cod-line Of Uncle Natbe's for halysrds.
then cut down nice little natle for a pole,
and nailed it up on the barn. One of the
neighbors went down and told Uncle Natbe
what we were doing, and be came up from
the mellow as mad as hop. / see by the
way he noted that be was a seceshioner.-
He took down the flag that we Mad eonse-
Grated. aud l couldn't stand It. so / made
him a speech, and told him that the flag he

because all of us bows had to 90 10 had
without our supper that night, and Aunt
hetty gave US great talking to about the
sheet. What fuss foIks make about tri-
fes.
But we had some fine fun next day with
Uncle Nathe. He's got big white roos-
ter, that he sets everything by-even bis
watch. So we bought him and colored one
OF his wings blue and the other red, and he
looked as fine as anything Won ever saw
The hens didn't know what to make of
him, and they all seeded. When Uncle
Nathe come home the first thing he saw
was his Grower, which got up on the wood
pile and yelled "Yauke doodle doo-oo I" as
loud as be could bswl. Uncle Nathe didn't
know what to think Of it at first, but when
he saw the fun of the thing he didn't laugh
any.
1 wish you were here; If you were we
would train round some, guess. There's
plenty of berries. and lets of birds, and
Uncle Nathe has got gun and two pound
OF powder. ana there's boat in the pond,
and fine fishing, and every thing to make a
fellow comfortable. Can't you steel away
and come up here, and make 'em think
you've gone to the war; Yours in clio.
yer, Ike PARrINcTos

SUNSET AFTER A SHOWER.

r =
Over the hiIltops fold upon fold,
Like blood-stained banners within the sky,
Braided with crimson and fringed with gold,
In q of amber the spent clouds lie.
Down in the valley the slumbrous trees
Droop heavily jeweled with fallen rain;
And a spicy scented, tremulous breeze
In nipples crosses the Blended grain
The winding river, like silver, CLEANS
Through dreamy visias that melt and fade;
And the sunlight falling in slsnting beams.
Strikes deep in ths heart of the forests shade
On distant uplands the lonely pine
Is ringed with purple and bound with FIRE;
The stones in the ehurch-yar glance and shine
And the weather-Yine ia gilded wire.
The ta9ering ceder, like spear.
Shoots out the cliff, where stands revealed
The rocky ledge and the herd appear
Like spots of color within the field
And the braided bannerso of cloud are seen
To iercer burn, as with sudden shame;
While the val! below and the hills between
Are drowned in yellow mist Of fame.
And farmers boy, all aglare with light,
Looks over the clitf where the cedars grow,
And shades with his hands his dazzIed sight,
And calls to his comrads down below.
Then the brazen woodlands echo and ring.
And the earth and sky seem to shout with him
A pearly arch Is the hawks feet wing;
And the sweltering landscape seems to swim.
On yonder hillside cottage shines
The window westward flashes ard CLOVIS
1t nest es amid its sheltering vines
OF giisteuing ivy like rose.
And there in the porch two lovers WOO
Her slender figure his arms enfold
While two doves in the dove-cote kiss and co.,
And ruffie their necks Of green and gold,

And watched the bubbles go
From the rock-frettrd sunny ripple
To the smoother lymph below:
And over the white creek bottom,
Under them every one,
Went golden stars in water,
All luminous with the sun.
But the bubbles break on the surface,
And under, the stars Of gold
Break, and the hurting water
Flowed onward, swift and cod.

And 1t came to my weary heart
In my breast so dull and heavy,
After the years OF smart
That every hollowest bubble
Which my life had passed,
Still into its deeper current
Some sky west CLEAN had cast;
That, however. Knocked it gaily,
And guessed at his holowness,
Still shone, with each bursting bubble,
One star in ny soul the less.

what Constitutes treason.

Judge Catron, of the U. S. Supreme
Court, in q recent charge to the Grand Ju.
~, in st Louis. laid down explicitly the
following propositions as the law Of the
land.
L. That to constitute treason, there must
be reasonable intent, rs well as q treason
able overt act; and in order TO make trea
sonable intent and overt act, the party
accused must have been leagued in a con
spiracy to overthrow the Government.
z. That there are certain constitutional
guarantees which the passion or the frenzy
OF the hour cannot touch, and among them
is the right Of expression and discussion
and the freedom Of the press.
3. That no sentiment however hostile,
can be held to be treasonable.*
4. That the right of every citizen to
bear arms lie an inalienable right that can
not be iofringed and the fact of citizen
having arms, without being in league with
hostile force, was not an act for which
liberty could be abridged.
B. That it is the duty of the grand iu-
~ to protect both the citizen and the gov
eminent, and that they should not, on &c
count of any fear, favor or affection, Shrink
from the discharge Of that duty. As en-
arm Of the Judiciary, the grand jury should
diligently inquire into all offences brought
to their knowledge, and bring to the bar Of
the United States Court all who have been
guilty of unlawfully uniting against the
government and the laws of the land.
But all good Citizens should frowr
upon all hostile words towards our Govern
ment; the aboiitionists have opposed
the government too much already: We
can oppose obnoxious Administered ion doc
trine, in justice, yet sustain the Laws.

papers:
Our opinion is, that the plea of necessity
will net cover such acts. The Government
loses more than it gains by them. Every
such act creates enemies, and the repetition
Of them creates distrust and disaffection.
If the rebellion can't be put down in the
midst OF the 6ercesi discussion, it can't be
put down by the suppression Of such dig
cussioD. The adverse comments of few
papers add no strength to the revolution. /"
This is exactly our view Of the subject.
The government belongs to the people, not
to the President, nor to the Generals Of the
army, and can only be sustained by free
exercise Of the popular opinion. Patriots
cannot be made by force If a newspaper
is senseless and wicked enough to uphold
rebellion at the North, it will find that i,
is losing business. 1t will die of the
poverty entailed upon it by Pubic Disgust.
