cd Sates, but not word is said about Virginia as separate State reserving to herself single power. And 3d.. That the powers not erant- ed," remain with them and at their will thatis, with ase people ef Me Uaissd Sases. The right Of the resumption of the powers granted. Is de- clared to be in the people of tue Unifed &ate,. and there is not so much as an intimation, that
 Virginia supposed she was reserying to herself, as separate and independent State, any such right as is now claimed for her by the advocates of secession. .
 And it is also laid down as a fundamsutsl truth, that the power of resumption must be ex. ercised 6y tue people of ths United Ssases, and only by them in Meir collectios capacity. It is no where said or intimated, that Virginia alone. without the cooperation of the people of tho other States, may resume any thing, or had any right to resume any thing, and why this claim is 80 persstently made, and by those who ought to know better, is almost beyond my compro. hension.
 The form of ratification" was nothing mora than mere expression of opinion, regarding certain powers or rights. It laid down no prin- ciple, that the people of Virginia possessed some exclusive powers or rights, which could be exercised by them as all independent people, but they did affirm great truth, that the DOW. CTS granted might be resumed by the people of the United States in certain contingency, to wit-when they had been "perverted to their injury and oppression" But Virginia as e State reserved no right to say when the powers grant, ed had been perverted to the injury and CD. pression" of the people of the United States. That is question which belongs to the whole people, and not to the people of any particular State, and when the State of Virginia or any other State attempts to say that the General Government has perverted the powers" grant, ed, to the "injury and oppression" of the people of the United States, upon the claim that they separately are the judges, and fall back upon what they say are reserved" rights, and at. tempt to walk out of the Union, such . State is bold usurper, and should be made to feel the stringent force of that power thus usurped. This simple statement is amply sufficient to show the absurdity of the claim put forth by '" B." It is true "B'' is not alone in putting forth this claim, and had he examined the matter as he should have done, if he is a man of half com. mon sense, he never would have made it. Hs has evidently taken his cue from others, whs have for years, preached their disorganizing se- cession doctrines in our midst, until they have culminated in bitter civil war.
 hope people will turn their attention little to this natter for if they will do so, great de. fusion may be dspelled. HAMILTON.

THOSE MECHANICS AGAIN 1.-The Boston Com nsercial Bulletin has the following in it's Sharp shooters column :"
 1.-The regiments of the Northern army, it is well known, contain practical mechanics of every branch of trade, as we'll as artists, merchants, clerks, and men from every walk of business 60 that when commander wishes bridge built, a locomotive repaired or pair of boots mended,. he finds a response to his order of Carpenters, step to the frdntr Mechanics, two paces for ward, march ? 'Shoemakers, to the front and centre, march
 In any army composed of such material, the branch of trade from which such companies have been drawn will be indicated to the shrewd observer by their style of expression toward the enemy. For instance:

Orleans, where Louis soon obtained employ ment as ok-keeper in one of the banks of the city. But the loss of his wealth and position had completely cast down his weak spirit. He fell into habits of drunkenness, was rarely at home, sometimes leaving her in their boarding house for days together. He entertained an in- sane hope of regainining his lost wealth at the gaming table, and within twelve months from their marriage, he was brought home dead, stab bed in drunken brawl in one os the gambling hells of the city. Fortunately for Mary, she had gained the affection and esteem of the wife of the president of the bank where Louis had been employed, who now offered her home ostensi ply as teacher of music for her daughter And here she had been ever since, meeting nothing but kindness, and contented with her lot. She was accompanying the family on Northern tour, when the accident occurred, which brought us together.
 More than thirty years,' solemnly continued the old man, after Q pause, have rolled away. and never since then, for single day, have Mary and been parted.'
 Mrs. Emore rose softly from her chair, and kneeling beside her husband, hid her face in bis bosom, and sobbed like little child. / Silently I walked down the pathway, and, leaning on the rustic gate, looked far down where the light of the new moon slept upon the water, and listened to the night-wind as it whispered softly to the slumbering flowers. Presently felt, rather than heard, light step behind me. A little white hand was laid upon my shoulder, I passed my arm lovingly around yielding fig ure, and then, with spirits that melted into each other, and in that blissful hour lived but as one essence, Annette and stood dreaming unde! the silent stars, until the old mans voice said:
 Come, children, it is late.'
 That little hand is not so fair and plump now as then, and the frosts of age are beginning to silver my hair, but still the quiet autumn even- ings often find us standing at that rustic gate. The same river flows unchangingly at our feet, now as then.

A LIVELY CHApLAIx.-A member ofthe Rich. ardson Light Infantry, writing home from For. tress Monroe, gives sketch of a New. York chaplain, who is full fun and fight He was asleep when the troops started. for Great Heto. ell but, as the last company started, he was c. wakened, and dressed himself, mounted his horse and started. He has a small pistol about four inches long, which he calls his "Floyd Gun"
 He related the following account of the bat. tie: He went into the field to encourage the men, and take care of the wounded, when one of "durn" secessonists blazed away at higl. It astenished him. and he thought it must be . mistake. when another ball came ploughing through his cap, about an inch and half above his head. That made him mad; he did not come there to be picked out for target, and so he up with his "Floyd Gun" and popped away at them. A soldier at side asked him what good he thought he did, when he lthe chap lain) considered that an insult and told the soi' dier if he did not tumble the next man down. he would report him for W sting ammuntion' The soldier let drive, when one of the rebels threw his arms into the air and disappeared be- hind the breastworks.-=Lo,ceA Courier,

But strong one covers the grave and placing no stone marches bravely on, not aspir- ing to be loved, but to love; not wishing to be blessed, but to bless; not caring to be known or to know, but to help, and to advance.

DaT The following poem IS rom tne pen ahann Peter Hebel, the very popular poet, tn ,ntenary of whose birthday was celebrated i lay, 1860, by the Germans:
 SUNDAY MORNING."
 "well' Saturday to Sunday said,
 'The people now have gone to bed; All, after toiling through the week, Right willingly their rest would seek; Myself can hardly stand alone,
 So very weary have grown
 His speech was echoed by the bell, As on his midnight couch he fell; And Sunday now the watch must keep. So, rising from his pleasant sleep, He glides, half-dozing, through the sky, To tell the world that morn is nigh. He rubs his eyes-and, none too late, Knocks aloud at the suns bright gate; She* slumbercd in her silent hall, Unprepared for his early call,
 Sunday exclaims, thy hour is nigh!' Well, we'll, says she, I'll come by -and-by. Gently, on tiptoe, Sunday creeps- Cheerfully from the stars he peeps Mortals are all asleep below None in the village hears him go; Fen Chandelier keeps very still- For Sunday whispered twas his will. Now the world is awake and bright, After refreshing sleep all night; The Sabbath morn in sunlight comes, Smiling gladly on all our homes. He has mild and happy air Bright flowers are wreathed in his hair. He comes, with soft and noiseless tread, To rouse the sleeper form his bed And tenderly he pauses near, With looks all full of love and cheer, We'll pleased to watch the deep repose That linger'd till the morning rose. How gaily shines the early dew, Loading the grass with its silver hue! And freshly comes the fragrant breeze, Dancing among the cherry trees; The bees are humming all so gay They know not it is Sabbath day. The cherry blossoms now appear Fair heralds of a fruitful year; There stands upright the tulip proud, Bethlehem stars around her crowd, And hyacinths of every hue All sparkling ill the morning dew. How still and lovely all things seem! Peaceful and pure as an angels dream! No rattling carts arc ill the streets; Kindly each one his ncighbor grcets: It promises right fair, -day; 'ies, praised be God 'tis all they say. The birds arc singing come behold Our Sabbath morn, all bathed in gold Pouring his calm, celestial light Among the flowers 80 sweet and bright The pretty goldfnch leads the row, As if her Sunday-robe to show. Mary, pluck those auriculas, pray, And don't shake the yellow dust away; Here. little Ann, are some for you I'm sure you want a nosegay, too. The first bell rings. Away! away! We will go to church to-day''

THE ARABS PKooF..-Somc years ago
a FrenchInan, who, like many Of his
countrymen, who won high rank among
men Of science, yet who denied the great
God who is the author OF oil science, was
crossing the great Sahara, in company
with an Arab guide. lie noticed, with .
snecr, that at certain times his guide.
whatever obstacles might arise, put them
oil aside, and kneeling on the burning
sands, called on his God. Day after day
passed, and still the Arab never failed,
till at last one evening tho philosopher,
when he arose from his knees, asked him,
with a cOntemptuous smile, How do
you know there is u God!" The guide
fixed his burning eye on the scoffer for .
moment in wonder, and then said solemn
ly, "How do knOtO there is . God !
How do l know that 4 man not q camel
passed my hut last night, in the darkness :
Was It not BY the print Of his foot In the
sandf Even so" and he pointed to the
sun, whose last rays were flashing over
the lonely desert, "thGt footprint is not
that of man."

HCXAN DIGSITY.--The right use Of
Fate IL to bring up our conduct to the
lOitiness Of nature. Rude and invincible
except by themselves are tho elements.
So let man Le. Let him empty his breast
Of his easy conceits; and show his lord
ship by manners and deeds on the scale Of
nature. Let him hold his purpose Is
with the tug of gravitatiOn. No power,
no persuasion, no bribe shall make him
give up his point. A man ought to CON-
pare advantageOusly with river, an oak,
or a mountain. tie shall have not less
than the flow, the expansion, and the re-
sistance Of these.
'Tis the best use Of Fate to teach q "a.
tai courage. Go face the 6re at sea, or
the cholera in your friends house, or the
burgler in your own, or what danger lies
in the way Of duty, knowing you are
guarded by the cherubiIn Of Destiny. II
you believe in your charm believe Il, at
least for your good.

The treasure Of some men Is gold, and
the love Of it grows SO strong as to be-
come idolatrOus. Such men never rise
above the mercst drudgery in the world.
They eat and drink. but it is to enable
them to successfully toll on. Morning.
noon and night, it il the same drudging
slavery and submission to the cravings OF
vicious appetite. There is not one no.
ble sentiment or feeling that can live in
their heart, because the lust Of gain fills
it so completely as to leave no room for
anything else. They can do nothing but
grOvel, like an earth worm, eating dust,
and casting out their slime, in order to
form pathway along which to crawl. II
is pitiable and sad to think Of, but It is q
sight only too often seen in this sin .strick-
en- world Of ours.

Some one unknown to US, has beauti-
fully said:
at is then, when all is still and calm
when tho shadows creep among the
trees, and the green meadows are covered
with q glittering mantle Of light-whcn
the flowers absorb the gentle dew that
falls from Heaven to refresh them, and
prepare to rear their dropping heads in
the warmth Of the morrOw's sun-when
the waters sleep beneath the pure cover
lid above-when birds are motionless and
beasts are dumb-it is then, in the midst
Of silence that can be felt that the
Spirit Of Beauty walks the earth and fills
the heart Of the wanderer with . voiceless
music-with songs in the night"
