WINTER ADJUSTMENTS.

The people of the Northern States are
not going to forego their usual cold wealth
er amusements the coming season, on &C.
count of the war, aud even if such thing
were possible, it would not by any means
be desirable. Those who labor physically
or mentally will need their relaxation and
recreation as much as ever, and surely we
are not SO much reduced by war, that our
usual amusements must be deemed illtimed
or in bad taste But at the same time, it
would be we'll if the balls, and parties, and
sleigh rides might be merged in some 9th
er form of amusements, which would be
equally as pleasant, and at the same time
have patriotic intent to furnish the sol
diers with clothing and other useful arti-
cles This double object might me obtain
ed by the introduction of social meetings,
or oeiables, % into every village or school
district, where the old and young might
come together and work for the soldiers
and have social times y series of such
meetings as those held every one Or two
weeks during the winter would be produc-
tive of much coed to the brave fellows
who are fighting cur battles for US, and
would be a source of much rational enjoy
ment besides. Such sociables might be
started in any village if some patriotically
inclined individual would only take bold
of the matter. and If balls and such costly
amusements should be dispensed with this
winter, and all classes devote their surplus
funds to the good of the soldiers, and at
the same time have their customary enjoy
ment by carrying into effect some plan
like the above, it would be consumation
very much to be desired.-sPringfeld Re

SELECTED POETRY.
WE PARTED IN SILENCE.

We parted in silence, we parted at night,
On the banks Of that lonely river,
Where the fragrant limbs their boughs unite
We met, and we parted forever.
The night birds sang, and the stars above
Told many a touching story,
Offriends long passed to the kingdom Of love,
Where the soul wears its mantle of glory.
We parted in silence, our cheeks were wet
With the tears that were past controlling;
We vowed that we wo'd never, no never forget
And those VOWS at the time were consoling:
But the lips that echoed the vow of mine
Are as cold as that lonely river,
And that sparkling eye, the spirit shrine,
Has shrouded its fire forever,
And now on the midnight sky l look,
And my heart grows full to weeping;
Each star to me is sealed book
Some tale of that loved one keeping.
We parted in silence, we parted in tears,
On the banks of that lonely river,
But the color and bloom ofthose by-gone years
Shall hang DER it's waters forever.

small quantity of the oil in shallow dish
or pan holding, say half an ounce. If
when heated to IS or 70 degrees they take
fire, such oils when burned in lamp Off
the lamp becomes hcatedl will explode
provided said lamp is not as strong and
stronger than some of the steam boilers liz
this city. The Scientific American says.
1.-The proper proof of oils, obtained from
coal, petroleum, bitumen, g., and intend
ed for lamps, is forty degrees, and not ex-
ceeding forty-one degrees; or, specific
gravity, $40. At this density, they will
not infame at the surface when the tenn
peraturc is sixty degrees, and they may be
stirred with lighted match, provided al
ways that the benzole or enpion has been
removed from them"
Now, how many dealers in this city sell
such oil? think not one, for | have
tried the best, and the oils, when heated
I find generate gas that will explode
Comparative safety is only to be obtained
by those who use oils by seeiug that their
LAMPS do not become heated. IF they do
they are as liable to explode as camphsne
or burning fluid. Let our dealers see to il
that they secure safe Illuminating fluid,
even if they have to charge ons dollar per
gallon. The prices now range from seven
to to eighty cents per gallon.

JOYS OF THE PAST.
BY CHARLES MACKAT.

Joys of the past are they gone forever?
Flow'rets soon gathered and sooner decayed;
Ripples oflight upon Times flowing river,
Lost with the breath DER its bosom that
strayed
No; there are hours In the hearts happy sad
When they return, amid sunshine and rain
Memory, bright as q rainbow Of gladness,
Spans the dark sky with their beauty again.
Visions of glory, half cloud and half splender,
Flash on the soul, looking black through the
years;
Hopes that were lofty, and loves that were ten
der,
Clean thro' the haze of our passionate tears.
Vainly, oh vainly our hearts would restore
them
Fair though they glitter, how quickly they're
gone!
Echoes that die with the music that bore them,
Lights that are darkened the mement they've
shone.

Explosive Burning Fluids.

Chicago, Nov. s.
Editors Chicago Tribune:
The new illuminating agents that
have recently been introduced to the pub
lie to supply the place of bad gas, or the
old fashioned oil, have caused a revolution
in the houses of thousands in our land
Alcoholic camphene and such hydrocar-
bons are unanimously voted dangerous,
and where gas cannot be had, Kerosene or
Coal Oil supplies us with light. 1t is on
the last of these that | would say few
words, the increased consumption of which
calls for a more thorough knowledge of it's
properties by the people. If properly
manufactured, coal and petroleum oils are
free from many of the dangers of fcamphene
and burning fluid. but some of their oils or
spirits are unsafe in lamps on account of
their low density and volatility. At a
temperature of seventy FIVE degrees Fab
renheit they will lnfame, and if in Ian P
or closed vessel, explode
The competition now existing between
the manufacturers and distillers Of coal
and petroleum oils is at its highest, and
the production of colorless oils seems to be
the only object they have in view, Safety

The United States Secretary of State

The London Review, discoursing OF
"Men of Mark, " has the following allusion
to VIM H. Seward:
"Maay of our readers who remember the
London season of 1859, and mixed in the
fashionable and club life of the day, will
perhaps be able to recall to mind Govern
or Seward, of New York, then making his
second tour of Europe, after an interval of
upward Of a quarter of century. The
Governor was slight, wiry little gentle
man, with hair of iron gray, keen eye,
large nose-s;gnifeant, according to some
theories, of large brain, with a voluble
tongue, benign expression of counte: ance
and a bonsonanaie that was contagious TO
look at The governor dearly loved
talk, joke and cigar, and had the hap
py knack of being perfectly at ease with
all persons and all classes of society, and
of putting others at as much ease as him
self. In short the governor was a gentle
man, plain in his manners, and without
any kind of afectation I; and took life and
his fellow creatures pleasantly, and made
the best of them. Whether he discoursed
on law or politics with Lord Lyndhurst or
Lord Chelmsford, or enlightened the un-
derstanding of the ladies of the aristocra-
cy on the varying aspects Of the slavery
question-whether he made one of dis
tinguished tbrong at the leuee of Queen
Victoria, or of mixed crowd at the theatre
or the Crystal Palace, or whether he inves-
tigated, with some congenial cieerone, the
areana of Londan life after midnight-the
governor was always pleasant, and as ready
to receive as to impart information. But
as be had not come to see England merely,
though that was the first and dearest OBJ
iect which he had at heart, but Europe at
large, his stay in London was briefer than
his many friends desired, and he left us for
France, Italy, Austria and Russia, with
premise to return and make longer So
jeurn among US on his way home. x
"Such is Mr.. Lincoln's Secretary of
State or Prime Minister, if such term
can be applied under fern of govern
ment where the chief Of the executive is
his own prime minister. In public life, he
is as austere and unbending as Cato and
in country where political jobbery and
corruption are the rule of public life, he is
as free of taint as Aristides. In private
life, he is frank, hearty, cenvivial and fond
of fun and no man in America enjoys
joke more or makes better one. In his
senatorial speeches, he is somewhat long
winded and for splitting of logical straws
into ten thousand splinter and having
something to say upon every one of them,
he is only equalled by Mr.. Gladstone
One trait of Mr. Seward s character we
must not omit to mention. Compelled for
certain months of the year to remain in
Washington, where slavery is allowed, he
will not allow slave to wait upon him.
European girls serve at bis dinner table !;
and when the governor takes a carriage
airing none but free negro can have the
honor of driving him.

The Oaths That Bind Them

During the progress of the trial Of
Northern traitors in Ohio, recently arrest
ed, among the revelations as to the char
acter of the Infamous order of the Knights
of the Golden Circle, was the discovery of
the following eaths which members of that
order are required to take when initiated:
FIRST OATH.
Il do trust and solemnIy promise ana
swear that will not reveal any word, ell
ther directly or indirectly of what | am
about to receive, except it be to some true
and faithful brother of this order. and net
unto him or them until after strict exam
ination, shall have found him or them,
as Justly entitled to the same, as | myself
am about to be under the no less penalty
of having my body severed into four parts;
tie first part cast out at the north gate,
the second part at the south, the third
part at the east, and the fourth part at the
west gate I furthermore promise that |
will always hail and answer all signs and
signals that are given to me by brother
Of this order if in my power to do SO; and
I furthermore promise and swear that
will protect and defend all Constitutional
Democrats, their lives, property, and per-
sonal liberty from mob violence, during
this Southern insurrection, so long as they
obey the laws of the G. s. A, let it como
from whatever source it may this obliga-
tion to be binding on me as long as the
war shall last"
SECOND OATH.
"And I further promise and swear, in
presence of Almighty God and the
members of the Golden Circle, that will
not rest or sleep until Abraham Lincoln,
now President, shall be removed out of the
Presidential chair. and I will wade in blood
up to my knees, as soon as Jefferson Da-
Wis sees proper to march with his army to
take the city of Washington and the White
House, to do the same. So help me God,
and keep me steadfast to do the same"
In whom do you trust?
In God.
Your trust being in God, l will give you
the seal that will relieve you out Of the
camp of your enemy.
