enemies. am against any and every
compromise that may be proposed to
be made under the guns Of the rebels,
while at the same time am decidedly
in favor of affording every reasonable

passed through the kitchen into the
garden. "Down with the seceshers !"
he shouted, and she looked out just in
season to see the top Of weigelia
bush fall before the artillery sword of
Paul that the youngster held in his
hand. "You'd better go to Molasses
Jugtion, if you want to do that" she
said, restraining his hand as it was
lifted against her favorite fuschia,
ready to decapitate the plant that she
had watched with almost a mothers
care for three winters. ''Dear me !"
she murmured half to herself, "what a
terrible thing war is, when even chill

LAUGHING SToCK.-The Toronto
Leader graciously assures its readers
that "the United States are the laugh
ing stock and scorn of the world" Let
those laugh who win. We recollect
reading that in l776 Britons, as valiant
as the Leader man, thought the pro-
vincials public laughing stock when
they dared to assert their indepen-
dence. But Bunker Hill, Yorktown
and Saratoga taught John Bull where
the laugh came in. Another lesson
was administered in 1912. Let John

increased force Is required. These
enormous prepar ations are distinct
avowal that the United States is en-
gageo in conflict with a great and
powerful nation, and they are compell-
ed to abandon the pretence of dispers-
ing rioters and suppressing insurrec-
tions, and driven to the acknowledge
ment that the Union is dissolved
They recognize the separate existence
OF the Confederate States by the in
terdiction Of an embargo and blockade,
by which all commerce between the
two is cut off. He repudiates the fool
ish idea that the inhabitants of the
Confederate States are still citizens of
the United States, for they are now
waging an iudiscriminate war upon
them. with savage ferocity unknown
to modern civilization.
Davis compares the present invasion
to that Of Great Britain in 1871, which
was conducted in more civilized man
ner. Mankind shudders at the outrag-
es committed on defenceless females,
who depict their horror at the deliber-
ate malignity with which, under the
pretence OF suppressing in< <,,rrection,
they make special war on sick women
and children by carefully devised
measures to prevent their obtaining
medicines necessary for their care
The sacred claims of humanity are
respected by all nations, even in the
tarH of battle, by careful deviation
of all attack OH hospitals, which are
now outraged by government which
pretends tie desire to continue frater-
nal connections. Such outrages admit
Of no retaliation, unless the actual per-
pctrators are captured.
Taylor's mission to Washington was
to propose an exchange of prisoners
taken on the privateer Savannah, and
to inform of the determined purpose
to check all barbarity on prisoners of
war, by such retaliation, and effectual-
lv put an end to such practices. Lin
coin promised to reply, but no response
has yet been received.
Towards the peculiar States, usually
termed border Slave States, which

tice, the hearts of our people are ami
mated by the sentiments towards the
inhabitants Of these States, which
found expression in your enactment re-
filsing to consider them enemies, or
authorize hostilities against them. A
large portion of the people Of those
States regard us as brethren, and, if
unrestrained by the actual presence Of
large almies, and the spbversion of civ
il authority by the declaration of mar
tial law, some of them would at least
joyfully unite with us. They are al
most with entire unanimity opposed to
the prosecution Of the war.

HARD TIMES AND REPENTANCE

HARD TINES AND REPENTANCE
One Of our clergymen remarked in
lis sermon last Sabbath, that the pres
ent were glorious times, politically and
financially, ''for," said he, ''they have
a strong tendency to drive men into
repentance of their sins and compel
chem to seek religion" and we agree
with him to dot; for if being obliged
to sell corn at eight cents bushel,
and wheat for tortytiue cents, won't
drive men to repentance, then there is
nothing beneath the canopy of heaven
that zoe ever read of, that will. 1t is
very certain that if any of our people
would clay up treasures" they have

There's Nothing Lost.

There's nothing lost The humblest flower
That blooms within the sheltered vale,
Though lost to view, has still power,
A fragrant perfume to exhale;
That perfume, borne on zephyrS wings,
May visit some lone sick ones bed,
And like the balm affection brings,
Will scatter gladness round the head.
There's nothing lost. The drop of dew
That fingers on the rose-bud's breast,
Will seek its home of ether blue,
And fall again as pure and blest;
Perchancc to revel i'll the spray,
Or moist the withering, parching sod,
Or mingle in the mountain spray,
Or sparkle in the bow of God.
There's nothing lost. The seed that's cast
BY careless hands upon the ground,
Will tructify, and may at last
green and glorious tree be found;
Beneath its shade, some pilgrim may
Seek shelter from the heat of noon,
While trough its boughs soft brcczes play,
And songbirds sing their sweetest tune.
There's nothing lost. The slightest tone
Or whisper from loved ones voice,
May melt heart Of hardest stone,
Or make a saddcned one rejoice;
And then, again. the careless word
Our thoughtcss lips too often speak,
May wound hear. already stirred,
And cause that trcuh ed heart to break
There's notr.ar lost. The faintest strain
Of breathing froa some dear ones lutte,
In mcmory's dream may como again,
Though ev'ry mournful string be mute;
The music of some happier hour,
The karp that swells with loves own words
May thrill the soul with deepest power,
When still the hand that swept its chords.
