Gemple Of Ghe Muses.
Origin Of the aUhite Rcss.


In India's cline where grows the-rose
In all its rich and native grace;
And where the sweet exotic blows
And freshens Natures smiling face.
There. once. as. DER the teeming land,
Disease had spread her tainted breath,
And grasped the fair ones by the hand,
Her numbers leading down to death.
The morbid air maiden drew,
She sicksned meath the poisoner's stroke;
Her cheek assumed pallid hue.
Her lips scarce opened as she spoke
When. just az Death would strike below.
The fragrant roses burst their tombs;
A nd all the air with vapory flow
They filled tho odorous perfumes.
Back few Disease, Death sheathed his sword
The maiden sought the freshening air;
And. midst the green and fowery sward.
Sac found relief fom pain and care.
A blooming rose she gathered there.
In all its crimson radiance drest;
Stripped off the thorns that reuLd il were,
And placed the charmer in her breast.
In pity saw the flower her pale. /.
Her snowy white and tingeless check
Her bright eye sunk in bloolless vale.
Her thin, soft lips so dark ard weak;
The roseate hues Immediate fed,
Which were out now so deep and bright;
And tinged the m aiden's cheek with red,
But left the rose q feecy white.

Mr.. Beecheron CHARACTERIZATION.

Rev. Henry WARD BEEcHER preached on thanks
giving day to his congregation in Brooklyn. On
the proposition to proclaim emancipation, in dis
regard of law and constitution. he took decided
view, contrasting most favorably with the twad-
die of CHARLES SUMNER, and presenting the GU
,rous picture of clergyman teaching sounder
political doctrines than United States Senator
He said:
"Of all the advice that has been given, while it
may seem to those who know not the nature of
our institutions most rational, there is none that
chimes more with the Northern feeling than this
to make declaration of emancipation to settle this
difficulty and yet neither the popular impulse
nor the foreign advice can be followed. We must
conduct this war by and through our institutions
or else we mu declare that our institutions have
failed, and thaswe have reverted to original prin-
ciples- There is only OF the other of these
courses. The last we cannot and shall not do.
w are not going to say to the world that Repub-
lican institutions have so sgnally failed that we
must abandon them and re-establish other ones.
No man will see that. We who boast of our
Constitution, must not violate il ourselves in
putting down those who violate it. We must not
by congressional legislation declare political
emancipation. ] wish we could / wish
Adam had not sinned, and bis posterity had not
been affected; but that does not help the matter
| wish fathers had stood out against what are
called the compromises of the Constitution. Bet
ter then than now. The serpent Just Matched is
not half so much to be feared as the serpent full
grown. Our troubles have increased with every
generation, and what is the use of signing over
what can't be helped Our fathers signed the
bond, and we accepted it. Can zoe afford TO break
Il for the sake of eoeH so magnificent result as
the emancipation of the siaUe7 Shall we rend the
crystal instrument-the joy of the world and our
pridef 1t is very easy to say, "Now it is state
of war-let US declare emancipation" The war
has not driven us out of Institutions. We are not
ourselves in state of rebellion. We can not
expect by destroying the Constitution to put down
the rebellion Ii any one ask me whether law
or Constitution inferior to original prInci-
pies of morality and justice, say no. but plight
ed faith is itself in nature OF sacred moral prn-
cipe Our faith is given and must be kept
When we can not abide by our promise, then, in

ton, and stands apart as two separate people.
