The Philosophy of a Tear.

BEAUTIFUL Tear whether lingering upon
the brink of the eyelid, or darting down the
burrows Of the care-worn cheek-thou art
beautiful in thy sinpicity-great because of
thy m~odesty-strong from thy very weak
ness. Offspring of sorrow who will not
own thy claim to sympathy /? who can re-
sist thy eloquence? who can deny mercy
when thou pleadest2 Beautiful Tear!
Every tear represents som indwelling sor
row proving upon the mind and eating out
peace. The tear comes forth TO declare the
inward struggle, and to plead a truce against
further strife. How meet that the ere should
be the seat of tears-Where they cannot oc-
cur unobseryed, but blending with the speak
ing beauty of the eye itself must command
attention and sympathy
Whenever we behold q tear, let our kind
lier sympathies awake-let it, have . sacred
claim upon all that we can do to sUccor and
comfort under affection. What rivers of tears
have flown. excited by the cruel and perverse
ways of mani War has spread its carnage

orphans have been suffused with tears I! In
temperance has blighted the homes Of mil
lions, and weeping and wailins have been m
~cessant! A thousand other evils which we
may conquer have given birth to tears enough
to constitute a lood-a great tide Of grief.
Suppose we prize this little philosophy, md
ecch one determine net TO excite @ tear in
another-how pleasantly will fare minkind !.
Watching the eye as the telegraph of the
mind within, let US observe it with anxious
regard and whether we are moved to com
plain. by the existence of supposed or real
wrongs, let the indication of the coming tear
be held as a sacred truce to unkindly feeling,
and all our efforts be devoted to the substitu-
ton of smiles for tearsl .a.H4

since, and on inquiry Where now ?"-he
seen my wife and little ones for four months,
nd have at last secured a furlough, in or
der that | may go and spend a few days in
the bosom of my family once more" How
heartily did we wish that on his return to
his loved ones, he might find "all well,n and
no trace of sorrow or suffering there during
his absence. For eight months he had been
in the military service Of his. country-had
met the enemy in deadly strife on the bloody
field of Manassas-had endured sickness. suf-
fering, privatiens and hardships such as he
had never dreamed of before, for the protec-
ton of that home and the dear ones nestled
there, and for his native land. And now how
doubly dear are these to him, after the sacri.
fee he has endured for them.

7 BOYS SWEARING. I'VE passed a beyy of
little boys on one of our streets yesterday,
and heard some of them swearing like ine-a
briates. 1t is dreadful to hear cursine and
swearing from the lips of man Injured to pro-
family and stepped in p~rofigacy, but there is
a painful want of nature, corrupt and bad as
1T is, in such a disgusting demonstration on
the part Of human beings SO fresh from the
creative hand of their God. Parents who
connive at such an exhibition by allowing ,
their children to run at large, into bad COM
pany, are not only responsible for the VIOLA
TED decency of the community, but will be
held answerable to a higher power, and their
punishment viii be inflicted in the future
worthlessness and degradation of their sons.
The Good Books tells US that those who
SOW to the wind shall reap the whirlwind.n
and on this authority we cannot help think
ing thatsome parents 10 this city are sure to
be visited with a desolate hurricane of sorn
row IN the future lives of their offspring
NO sensible being can deny that permitting
young and fmpressible boys to roam about
the streets, with every temptation to vice ice, and
dissipation, is but poor way to give them
a right character.

dous question now shaking the CONT

it valid or sufficient, those whose inter-

Appalled,.

The .Abolitionists and Republicans
in Congress have become appalled, at
the enormity of the burdens, in the
shape of debt, their course has brought
upon the country, and they stand aghast
at the proportions of the tax bill re-.
quired to pay the interest upon thus
debt, and hesitate to put it to vote
No wonder they tremb}e with fearwhen
their minds are haunted by the CHASTITY
forms of the thousands Of corpses of
their countrymen slain on account of
their perverse course in Congress as
public servants. No wonder they
tremble with apprehension Of the Peo-
pies wrath when they find that it will
become necessary to impose tax of
two hundred millions of dollars per an
nun to pay for their fanaticism. They
hesitate to impose this tax, although
they know that it becomes a necessity
now of their previous acts. They can
not escape the popular retribution
which awaits them from an outraged,
wronsed, abused and almost ruined
