COME TO THE WOODS.

Come to the woods.
For the Mid birds are singing
The sprays are all green,
And the flowers are springing,
Come where the birch
All its taSsels are pluming,
And fresh looking cowslipS
By waters are blooming.
Come to the woods,
For the turtles are MhiTring
By margins Of pools,
And the insects are stiTringj
Come where the gray rocks
With mosSes are darkening,
And the pleasure tuned ears
To new voices are hearkening.
Come to the woods,
There is health In the blowing
or fresh scented breeZes,
That sets cheeks to glowing;
Come where the tree boughI
Above you are bending,
And down TO their coyerts
The pure airs are blending.
Come 10 the woods
Come and kneel on the moses,
And see how the sun
Old Earth's bosom CLOSES
Come to the woods,
Its people are calling
And on the bare head
All their blessings are falling.

TRIP LIGHTLY.

Trip ightly over trouble,
Trip lightly over wrong:
We only make grief double
By dwelling on 1t long.
Why clSSp woes hand 80 tightly ?
Why Sigh DER blossoms dead!
Why cling to forms unsIghtly!
Why not seek joy instead j.!
Trip lightly over sOrrow,-
Though this da! may be dark,
The sun may shine Tomorrow,
And gaily sing the lark;
Fair hope has not departed,
Though roses may have fled:
Then never be dOWnhearted,
But look for JOY instead.

A Democratic and Conservative News
paper in the City of New York.
NEW YORK WEEKLY ARGUS.
To Restore the Union and Maintain
THE CONSTITUTION.
WEEKLY ARGUS

F,rseveral yearsthe Democratic and Conservative
sentiment, OF the Nation has beer keenly alive to the
necessity of being faithfully and ably represented by
a frs.class Newspaper, published in the City OF New
York, adapted To popular circulation, and welding
a wholesome influence throughout the Chion. The
greae w@8t has been, and Is, paper which shall
sustain the same relation to Democratic and Con
sentative principles as does the New York Tribune

per conducted with talent and prudence, with cor

throughout the country.
The undersigned. from their connection with III,
Albany ATLAS L ARGUS-one Of the oldest and
best known Democratic papers in the CniOn-have
been constantly urged, during the last three four
years, to respond to this demand, by establishing
frst-class Weekly Newspaper in the City OF New
York adapted to general circulation. We yield to
the wishes Of our political friends, and have there
fore transferred the publication of the WEEKLY

REvOLUTIoN ~ PUBLBc SEHIInENT.-The
New York FreemAn's Journal in the
course Of review Of political events, and
the great change taking placs in the Po-
Iitical sentiment Of the people Of the At
Iantic States, concludes as follows:
We might note other great changes in
the tone Of the Black Republic, n press.
The moneyed interests of New York find,
here and there an expression through
them, to the effect that the reorganization
Of the old Democratic party, on its own
old principles, is to be hailed with salts
faction. Yes, Black Republicans are
found ready to abandon their politics,
when they see that their property is fast
going to the devil in consequence Of those
politics! All these things indicate the
pr"digious change that is gOi' 6 on in
public opinion. This change must, of
necessity, 20 on. 1t will, from time to
time, grow stronger and stronger.
1t is nearly eighteen months ago that
we said, on the first >hapingS of this Adj
ministration, that the Republican, party
could no more manage our Federal Gov.
ernmcnt than monkey can run a loco
motive on u railroad That the best
could happen, would be that, on getting
frightened, by an indiScrIninate snatch
ing aud pulling Of all the cords and wires,
it might stop it. 1t was but few
months afterwards we were compelled to
add: The Republican party cannot man
age this war! Neither of these aSSer-
tons require p1c2C & ~ 7'''7'+'v ''""
We have, at present, to make another
declaration. The Republican party can.
not end this war. To end this war,
without ruin to the country, beyond the
permanent disasters now incurred, there
must be a change of Administration and
OF men Any change Of measures, or
anything deserving the name of measures
or Administration, is impossible with the
men Abraham Lincoln has about him as
his advisers. The Daily Times and other
radical papers have called out to depose
Lincoln, or for him to resign. We do
not call for this, though we believe, a
Congress faithful to the Constitution
might impeach him. As matters stand,
we call only for a change Of advisers.
The overwhelming sentiment Of the cOun
try is preparing to call for the same. II
it political necessity, and may soon be
military necessity"

A Coon SToRY.-Thc Rev. Mr.. Rogers,
of New York city, tells good story OF
piouS sister connected with his church in
New Jersey, where he was stationed two
years ago. The good sister had way Of
expressing herself in church, when any
thing suited her, by shouting at the top
of her voice, "GlOry to God" Hallelu-
jah!" etc, etc. Once she attended a
Presbyterian church. and the deacon
gave her seat near the pulpit. The
minister commenced, and grew more elo-
quent as he proceeded. At last he said
something that made the sister feel
good" and she shouted, "Glory to
GOd!" t. the great establishment of the
congregation, US we'll as the minister.
The deacon approached her, and told
her that such actions were not allowed
there. But she took no notice Of him or
what he said, but was ell attention to
what The man Of God" was proclaim
ing and as he proceeded he waxed
warmer, and the sister gave another
shout at the top Of her voice, "Glory,
glory to God I" which disconnected the
minister, and he looked after the deacon,
who came and told the sister that if she
did not stop he would remove her from
the house lie took his seat beside her,
and the divine continued for short time,
when another Glory to God! llallrlu-
jah y from the piouS sister started all in
their seats. The worthy deacon took
hold of her to put her out, but she
Strengthened herself out and would not
bulge; so he called the other deacon to
his assistance, and they made chair of
their arms, and set the sister thereon, and
started for the door. When about half
way up the middle aisle, she threw up
her au,ms and shouted, "GlOry to God !
i am more honorable than my Master
He was carried by one ass. while have
two" 1t is needless to say that the
worthy deaconS dropped their load, and
likewise dropped into their seats.
