He speaks of and recommends retalito.S
rv measures to meet the late laws recentlv
passed by the Federal Government /; rec.
ommends the issue Of more rebel treasury
shinplas:ers, and alludes to the building Of
rebel war vessels at home and abroad.

There is little reason TO doubt The junct-

army of Virginia, though 10 official an-
nouncemcnt Of the fact has been made;
private letters have been received, which
state that the union has been made and
! there is now little cause for apprehensioDs
in regard to the military preparations in
Virginio. The movement was an ex-
tremely hazardous one, and its successful
completion realized the greatest credit on
Gen. Halleck, who planned, and Gen. Nc
Ciellen, who executed it.
Baltimoreans say since tbs order for
drafting, over 5000 citizens Of Maryland

Our Fort Monroe letter says when Gen.

plan was vetoed.

Par lntal influence.

How strong is the instinct of parental
love. Parents suffer no such agony in their
own persons as they can suffer through the
person of child Parents can bear the
palpitating heart, the convulsed muscle,
the throbbing pulse in themselves; but
when the tender organs of a loved child
are torn with these agonies, it becomes in
tolerable. In the aggregate parents suffer
more through the prefgacies and GRIMM
alities Of children than through their own.
They may repent of their own and allay
the suffering. but when the ch;ld's wicked
ness runs on to ruin aud oeath, then, while
life lasts, lis torturing fires continue to
burn in the parental breast. As gene
raj RULE do not deny that there are not
exceptions, but as general rule-children
turn out as they might be expected TO turn
out from the treatment rec ived from pa
rents. What untold agonics, not only in
the open day and in the tbronged market
place, but in solitude and at midnight, DO
parents suffer; what soreness of heart.
even such that the tenderest sympathy tor
lures it like 6le, does the mother feel for
a profigate son, while he, as if urged on
by some demon, Iusbes on to darker shame
and deadlier perdition. Yet the time was
when that child heart was as soft as wax,
when his feelings, like an aspen leaf, could
have been moved by breath. Then the
mother could have supplied the very NOR
al nutriment that should have been en-
bodied in the growth of its soul, just as
the milk from her own breast became a
part Of its body. Then she sat upon a
throne, and veal and woe were ministers,
ready to do her bidding. Then she was,
like a goddess, decreeing the future, orig
mating predestination, telling fate himself
what lie should do. But, for some vanity
or folly Of the hour, she forfeited her
queenly prerogatives she was aD idiot in
casualty, and a lost child and broken
heart are her reward Horace Mann

Who Abides /?

The worldly man loves the world That
is the Object of his affection but that is
changing and perishing: the world passeth
away. The Chriatisn loves God that is
the object on which he fixes his heart =
and God is everlasting; in him there is
no change; he endurcs forever. And
while the loved object in which the world
i man delights and vanishes away, and
while be himself is hurried away from its
enjoyment, the object of the Christian S
ject fills and satisfies the soul, be Himself
NAV be said to abide for he can never be
permanently separated from the God he
loves Yea, he himself shall live forever
and dwell where God is-he abideth for
ever.
The love of the christian, in opposition
to the lust of the world, abidcth foreyer.-
If by Inst We understand those things
which worldly men lesire, they pass away
with the world. If by it we underated
the inordinate desire which we have for
these things. that, too, passeth away
But the love which the Christian has for
God, the object of his regard. is inextin-
gushable 1t abides forever; and SO does
his love for his follow creatures Charity,
love. never failith whether there be
prophecies. they shall fail; whether there
be tongues. they shall cease; whether
there be knowledge, it shall yarish away,
And now abideth faith, hope, char
ity these three; and the greatest oi
these is charity. or love it abides forever
And the Christians love, is inseparable
from himself; as thai endurcs. so lie abid
eth forever. And the wold passeth away
and the last thereof; tut he that doetl
the will of God abitIeth forever.

THE VISION.
BIZ WILLIE E. PABOR.

The vision was that of worn out man
/ Who had fallen through life in every plan
/ Whose trembling steps, and whose, thin white
hairs
And furrowed brow spoke of worldly cares /;
And he rang the changes once again
On the sorrowful words, ''It might have been -
Through mist of tears and the veil of years,
What he as, and he might hare been. appears,
The sting that the sparkling wine concealed
Had he stopped to think, as it touched his tongue
Of the sword that over the wine-cup hung
I With sharper edge, by weaker thread,
Than the one which hung DER the courtier's
head
But the bouyant heart of the youth was strong
And the siren sang SO sweet song,
And the rainbow hues ofpleasure gave
So fair a coloring to the wave,
That he launched his bark on the sunny tide,
In his wealth of health and his strength of
pride.
If still small voice fell on his ear
With his warning words he did not hear;
For the tempter's tongue was never still,
And there came no fear of future i'll
As he drifted down the stream of time
Without thought Of truth sublime
That wine mockery was, and they
Who yielded to it became a prey
To all the evils that in it lay;
To horrors that words cannot portray,
So the years went on till life's goal was won,
And the hopes of his youth died one by one.
The love that could charm from common harm
Dropped off, and his heart took no alarm
The friends of his early years were lost,
Yet he still on thew OF wine were tost;
And he only thought, if he thought at all
Of the drink that hastens the drunkard's fall,
Till his trembling steps and quivcring lips
| We're the seal and sign Of Iife5s eclipse
And here at the end of life he stands
Awake to the words of his own hands
! And ringing the changes once again
On the sorrowful words, 1T might have been.n
Had he only listened in his youth
To the words of wisdom and of truth
And walked in the path of temperance,
And stood up to the battle in its defence
Health and wealth and well-earned fame
Would have waited upon his name.
And the love that brings a sweet repose
Would have been his until life's close

Dancing.

The auther of Rab and His Friends ex-
presses his opinion on this subject in the
following pleasant style:
Dancing is just the music of the feet,
and the gladness of the young legs, and is
well called the poetry of motion. 1t IS like
all other natural pleasures, given TO be
used, and not to be abused, either by your
self or by those who do not like it, and
don't enjoy your doing it-sbabby dogs,
these; beware of them And if this is
done, it is a good and grace, as we'll as a
pleasure, and satisfies some good end Of
our being, aud in its own way glorifes our
Maker. Did you ever see anything in this
world more beautiful than the lambs run
