TRUE AND TO THE PoINT.-The Silver Age
indulges in the following little exhibition Of
good hard sense:
How strange is it that those who prate so
much about the danger of losing their free

despotism, never see any danger to grow out
Of anything done by leaders Of the Southern
Confederacy. No!-whatever they do is al
ways right! When the Federal authorities
follow an example set by the Confederates.
in the eyes of many men in our midst, the
Federals are doing very wrong and running
our freedom yet the same course pursued by
the Confederates is all right in their eyes
In what is done by the Southern Coufedera.
cy they can see nothing wrong. The Southern
peopls can shoot down, cut ears off confscate
the property of and Danish Union men, and
it is right; but where law and order and
Federal authority reigns supreme, it is wrong
to arrest or in any way interfere with trai.
tors and men who are daily using language
that is sooner or later bodnd to engender
strife, and which has tendency to prolong
the present rebellion. Men who can see no
good and always much evil in everything
done by the Federal authorities, are traitors,
and they deserve the doom of the traitor
Men who are always prating about the evils
being brought upon us by the Administra-
ton in quelling this rebellion, are secession
lists, and should be looked upon as such.

SIMPLE FAITH OF CHILD-In one of the
narrow streets near the Marche st. Honore,
says the Paris Union, resides poor working
family who have lately been laboring under
great distress. Tho wife has been for some
time ill, and the husband has just met With
an accident which has prevented him from
following his usual occupation, so that his
family of five children often suffered from
hunger. Among the children was little
intelligent girl, who every day attended the
charity school, but who has been lately
obliged to stop at home to attend. as best
she could, to her little brothers. She had
been taught at school that th6se' in distress
ought to address themselves to God, and tho
idea entered her mind that if she sent a let.
ter 10 God relief would follow. She therefore
asking for health fol hef parents and
bread for herself and brothers. Thinking
that the poor. box which she had seen in the
church Of Saint Roch was the letter.boI Of
God, she took an opportunity of stealing qui
etly out of the room and running off to the
church. While looking round to- see that no
one was near, an elderly lady noticed her
movements, and, thinking she was at some
mischief, stopped her and inquired what she
was doing. After some hesitation she con-
fessed the object of her visit to the church,
and showed the letter. The lady took it and
promised the child that she would take care
it should reach its destination, asking at the
same time to what address the answer must
be sent, which the child gave, and returned
home with a light heart. On the following
morning, on opening the door of the room,
she found large basket filed with different
articles of wearing apparel, sugar, money,
etc., the whole packed up with direction
