What Vattal Says OF Traitors

A traitor has been in all nges tho most
infamous Of men. His orimo is estoemcd
in baseness and the exhibition of do
testable nature more heinous than mur-
der. Hero is what Vattcl in bis Law Of
Nations says Of bim:-"1f every man
is obliged to entertain q sincere loyo for
his country, and to procure it oil tho
happiness in his power, it is o shameful
and dctestible crime to injuro that very
country.
lle who becomes guilty Of it, violates
his most sacred engagements and sinks
into base ingratitude; ho dishonors him
self by blacklist perfdy. since ho abuses
the confidence of his fellow citizens, and
treats as enemies those who had . right
to expect his assistance and services.
We see traitors to their country only A.
meng those men who are solely sensible
to base interest, who have an ilnmed,
ate value for nouo but themselves. and
whose heart is incapable oi every sen,i-
mont Of affection for others. They arc.
therefore justly detestod by the whole
world as the most infamous of all vii
lains."

Bullets.

Bullets have knack of imbcdding
themselves in tho body and limbs, so that
the surgeon and the wounded man are
both alike ignorant of their presence; for
pain, be it remembered, is but late
symptom of gunshot injury. coming on

relates minutely of an artilleryman who
was struck by ball on his right thigh.
The femur was broken; as for the ball,
it pierced the thickness Of flesh, turned
round tho bone, and ended by dipping
into the hollow of the thigh. When he
was brought to the ambulance, neither
he nor his surgeons suspected the pres
enco of q foreign body. Tho patient O.
ven was of opinion tina: the Same ball
had passed OH and struck another bonn
bardicr. 1t was only Whom performing
amputation that Larroy discovered ball
FIVE pounds in weight. Dupuytren relates
that ball Of nino pounds weight was
80 completely concealed in a patients
thigh that the surgeon did no. at first
discover its presence, On the morrow
after tho taking of tho Mamelon Vert, O
soldier applied at tho ambulance said to
be wounded in his left thigh. About its
middle was found small circular aper
ture, like that from round ball, not q
wound of exit. On examination, they
could feel an obscure swelling in tho pop
liteal space. bat otherwise there was no
swelling, redncss. or especial amount Of
pain. A largo incision enabled them to
discover and extract an enormous shot,
which had run round the femur without
breaking it. From the external appear
ances, perhaps, out Of a hundred sur
geons, fifty might have thought no ball
had entered. but assurodly q hundred
would have denied that there lay there
bscaion; but it was 50. nevertheless.

Traitors In Our Midst.

Judge Butler. of West Chester, in q
recent charge to the grand jury. said at
this time when the Government of the
United States is engaged in putting down
rebellion against its lawful authority.
ond has called for volunteer soldiers, and
ordered draft to be mado from tho mi
litia Of tho several States, it becomes tho
duty Of the Court to invite your earnest
attention to the provisions Of an act OF
Assembly, approved the 18th day of A.
pril, 1861, which provides for tho pun
i.hmens of traitors at home. The judge
after reading this act to the grand jury,
said: IF you know OF any persons, who
arc guilty Of any one or more Of these
offences specified in this net of Assom-
bly,, it is your duty to present him. or
them, for trial and punishment. Such
offences arc Of tho gravost characte er;
they strike at the foundation Of all law
and order. and threaten the peace and
safety Of tho entire community. They
deserve swif and severe punishment;
and We trust that no ono will be allowed
for au instant, to doubt that thore is suf-
iciont power in the court, or virtue in
its jurors to inRict it. Ata time like
sho present. when bad, abandoned mon
arc dofying the rishtful authority Of the
Government and encouraging spirit Of
lawlessncss throug hout tho country. cv-
ory consideration Of public and personal
security demands an increased rigRance
on the part of those whose study it is to
uphold the law, aud maintain the public
order. No offence against government,
nor infraction Of the public peace. as by
lawless tumult. riot, or attempt to incite
men to the commission Of these and kin
dred offences, can, at this time, be al-
lowed to pass unpunished, without dan
ger of tho most serious consequences to
tho community The court trusts. there
fore, that you will give to this subject
that earnest consideration which its croat
Importance demands. Let every man
feel, and be thoroughly assured, that
horc. at least, tho majesty of law will be

The Habit or Giving.

There ore few sentences in the writings
Of Edward Burke which deserves better
to be ponndored upon than his advice tt
his son, mot TO loose the habit of Civ
ing" Nhe number Of persons who dc
no. at times part with some portion Of
their property for the relief or benefit o
others. is comparatively y small. But this
occasional and wholly unreliable giving
is widely different from the settled habit
Of responding to tho calls of bcncvolcnce.
The formation of such habit is ordina-
rily tho work Of time, even on tho part
Of many who mean to be governed by
Christian principle. Like oil habits. it
is tho result Of frequent repetition, and
its establishment, therefore, if proceed
ing from right motives, is evidence of a
long series Of benevolent acts.
1 he habit Of giving. like every other
virtue, is moro easily lost than won. -
What it has been the work of years to
establish. few months, often, arc sufh :
cicnt to destroy. BY refusing, for only
q short time, TO contribute to our wontcd
objects of bcnevolcnco. We become spir-
itunly poorer with a startling rapidity.
Circumstances, it is true, may put it out
Of power to contribute to tho same extent
as We arc accustomed to do, but the ca.
ses are very rare in which a Christian
cannot give some'hing. even though it be
but trifo, to tho various forms in " hich

withholds this from pride, tho fear of pow
orty, or any other reason. ho infcts on

estranged from .hem. and. to q certain
dogroc, from his brcthron who are active
ly carrying forward these plans Of Chris
tian love. This GOODNESS to the various
forms of benevolent labor is itself state
of inward poverty, which is far more to
be feared than any outward want.
The loss Of tho habit Of giving is.
therefore, very groa: loss. and one a.
gainst which no pains uro too great to
guard. Just now tho danger il ilnmi-
nent. Some. there is reason to fear; arc
Withholding moro than is meet, yielding
perhaps. to idlo fears. or ths suggestions
of a weak and timorous faith. Let all
such remember how precious is the habit
Of meeting the appeals Of Christian be-
nevolence with oheerfulness; with how
much time and pains it is acquired; how
easily it is lost. and how lamcntable the
loss is. and resolve once for all, that
whatever Olsc they may loose, they will
not lose the habit of giving. ng.-Cnristion
