Locking 10 tho Future.

jeff. Davis says in his letter on the con-
scription law to Gov. Brown of Georgia ::
"At some future day after our inde-
pendence shall have been established, it
is no improble supposition that our pres
ent enemy may be tempted to abuse his
moral power by depredations on our com
meree, and that we may be compelled to
assert our rights by offensive war"
Thus is afforded a glimpse of the future
should We fail to subjugate the rebels
They would. by aid of their conseriptions
and other appliances of military des-
potsm. be formidable and standing
menace, and compel continual and enor-
nous expenditures of money, and the
precious time of our laboring men, in
self-defense. If we are ever again TO
enjoy the sense Of security md the profits
of peace in this country. it will be after
We have conqncied tho rebels.

Extract from Senator Waae's speech In the Senate |
There never was since the war com
menced, and | challenge any one to show
Ie single instance where rebel was
p.acated or brought TO the support of the
Union because you treated his person or
property with lenity have an order
here, wriltcu b. Gen. Mcdowell, which
will ask TO have read, just to show the
principle upon which at present this war
is prosecuted.
The clerk then read the order, dated ::
Headquarters Of the Rappahanfioek,
May 26th, 1862
Col. Meredith Of the 9th Pennsylvania
regiment will furnish guard from his
regiment to guard the house and property
Of Mr.. H l.. Hoffman. Col. Meredith
will see that no more corn is taken from
Hoffman, and no more fences disturbed.
The guard is to be so placed as to make
this sure, even if you have to place a SEN
tincl over every pannel Of fence.
GEN Mcdowell.
Now, sir. | am told that this Mr.. Hoff-
man, whose every pannel of fence 10 to
be guarded By asoldief, paid for with our
money, is as arrant traitor as there is on
the face Of God & earth Cannot We reach
such property Cannot we forage on the
enemy! The senator says no, we are re-
strained by the constitution; We cannot
even take it in the field. II, in the prose-
cuton of this war, the constitution is so
weak, and our arm 20 short, that we can
not take food enough for our starving sol.
diers, then We might as well disband the
army at once. We can never bring the
war to an end whilc these parties are using
the soldiers to guard the pigs, chickens
and fences of our enemies. instead Of
fighting them in the field.
A general who wilt thus place guard
around the property OF traitors, and who
so sedulously protects their property, will
not be very likely to fight that rebel in the
field Il is idle, anomalous, and against
the common sense of the country. 1have
sworn before God to supper. the constitu-
tion, and never was more faithful in the
performance of that conscientious duty,
than when | stand here, contending for
the prosecution of this war with the ut
most vigor. to PROSTATE and destroy the
power of the enemy. lam bound by my
oath to be the enemy Of the enemies Of the
constitution. The man who claims that
the constitution is protection for trea-
son, is more likely to violate it than the
man who stands here as an advocate of
that law which proposes to use this rebel
property Tor the purpose Of suppressing
this rebellion. which is attempting 10 over
throw the country. In my heart Of hearts,
! have 1t IN charge more than anything
else, to maintain. protect and defend the
constitution, the Union, and the old flag,
and will do it though every slave Be
freed and every rebel lose every cent Of
property he ever had or ever will have -
And until this spirit actuates the admin
istration, ] DO not hope for triumphan,

DETECTION OF JKRE CLEAESs.-T The

aids the detection of one Of the shining
lights of the Southern Confederacy:

and given in his allegiance 70 the Lincoln
government. He was in Huntsville at
the time of it's capture by the lanAeas,

of principle and honor as to link their
destiny with the destroyer Of our homes
and our peace. This comes from q
source entitled to the highest credit.

AMERICAN BABIEs.--I must protest
that American babies are an unhappy
race. They eatfAnd drink just as they
please, they are never punished; they are
never banished, snubbed and kept in the
background as children are kept with US;
and yet they are wretched and uncomfor-
table. Ny heart has bled FOR them as i
have heard them squalIing by the hour
together in the agonies Of discomfort aud
dyspepsia. Can it be, wonder, that
children are happier when they are made
to obey orders and are sent to bed at six
o'clock, than when allowed to regulate
their own conduct that bread and milk
is more favorable TO laughter and soft
childish ways than beef-stcak and pickles
three times q day; that an occasional whip
ping, even, will conduce to rosy cheeks
It il an idea which l should never dare
to broach to an American mother; but |
must confess that after my travels on the
western continent my opinions have a
tendency iH that direction. Beef-steak
and pickles certainly produce smart little
men and women. Let that be taken for
granted. But rosy laughter and winning
childish ways are. fancy, the produce of
bread and milk.-Anthony Trollope.

The SpTing-Tinle.

The following beautiful passage occur
red in sermon recently preached BY
Henry Ward Beecher:
There Is something even mere touching
than this, 1t Is the fight Of birds. All
summer they have filed the woods
They sing from the trees. They rise
from thickets and veed-muff1ed fences,
as in our vandrings we scale them. They
sing in the air. They wake US with their
mathis. They chant Tespers with glo-
rious discordance of sweet melody. They
fit across the lawn, rise and fall on the
swinging twig, or rock to the wind on
their aerial perch.
But after August they become mute
and in October DAYS they begin to reeede
from the dwelling. No more twittering
wrens; no more circling swallows; nc
more gro;esque boboinks no more larks,
singing as if they were heart broken
They begin now to come in troops in the
distant field At sunset the pasture is
full of focks Of hundreds and thousands.
At morning they are gone. And every
day brings its feathery caravan. Every
day they pass on. Long hocks of fowls
silently move far up against the sky, and
always going away from the North. AT
evening the weary string of water fowls,
flying low. and wistful of some pond for
rest and food, fill the air with hoarse
trumpeting and clangor. They are 90
ing the lastare going. Winters behind
them summer is before them; and We
are left. The season is bereft. Light i:
short darkness is long. Flowers are
sunken TO rest. The birds have fowr
away Winter, actnter, WINTER is upon
the earth.
At last come the December days
The shortest is reached Then a few
days stand alike. Then the solar blaze
creeps forward minute In the evening
A little more again more, till half hours
ring around the horizon-till hours are
strung upon the days-till the earth

The Woman Who Never GOsSips:

Oh, no, never gossip | have enough

Mrs Smith.
Why, there's Mrs. Crocker, she deals
in scandle by the wholesale. 1t does
seem to me as though woman's tongue
must be always worn cut; but no, there's
no danger of that. If everybody was like
me, there wouldn't be much trouble in

But did you know Miss Elliott had
got a new silk dress, Mrs. Smith =? You
didn't? Well, she has. It's real bro
cade; I saw it myself and | do say it's
shame for her to be so eztravagant. l
mean to give her piece of nay mind,
Mrs Smith You believe her uncle gave
it to her? Well, | don't care if he did.
Wbyit's only two months since her father
failed and now to see her dash out IN
this style, it's burning shame. | sup
pose she thinks she's going to catch young
lawyer Jones but think she II find her
self mistaken. He's got more sense than
to be caught BY her, if she has got a bro
cade silk dress.
And there's the upstart dressmaker,
Kate Manly, setting her cap for the doc
tors son. The impertinence of some peo
pie is perfectly astonishing. l don't
think she's any better than she ought to
be for my own part. q never did like
her, with her mild, soft look, when any
! body's about Ny word for it she can
look cross enough when there amt.
/ Then she says she is only seventeen
/ Goodness knows she's as old as my Ara
bella Lucretia; and she's-well, won t
say how Old, but she more'n seventeen,
and | amt ashamed to say so, either; but
| think DR.. Mays son will have more
discretion than to think of marrying her
Some folks call her handsome Well, |
don't She amt half so good looking as
my daughter Jane. Then the way she
does up her hair N such fy-away curls
and, if you believe it, Mrs. Smith, she
actually had the impudence to tell me
that she couldn't make her hair as
straight as my Maria's. Impertinence
If she'd let curling-papers and curling
irons alone, I'd risk but what her hair
would be as straight as anybody's.
But what do you think Of the minis
ter's wife, Mrs. Smith? You like her
Well, all | can say is you've got a very
peculiar taste. Why, she's as proud as
Lucifer-been married whole week, and
hasn't been to see me yet. You presume
she hasn't had time? [ don't see what
the minister wanted to 60 out Of town to
get him wife for, any way; and then,
above all things, to get that little glrlish-
looking thing! Why didn't he take one
of his parishoners There's my Arabel-
/ la Lucretia, she would have made him a
better wife than he's got now Aud sues
just about the right age for him. What
do you say THAT Arabella Lucretia is
two years older than the minister! |
should think it was a pity if | didn't
know my own daughters age, Mrs.

own business, as l DO, I'd thank them.
