THERE ARE But Two PARTIES. The
Boston Post, one Of the abiest conducted
papers in the Union, with great furce and
truth, and plenty Of definition, whirSIr',nc

The Post holds that all who in the Nor.

nominees, and all that portion of the Re
publican party whose anti-slavcry senti-
ments consisted solely in oppositG0 to
the extension of that institution, but who
were willing to guarantee it its admitted
Constitutional rights, belong to the first
category, and constitute vast majority
of the people. The second class consists
of those who regard the Constitution. the
Union. the sectional interests, as Subordi-
mate to the question Of Emancipation
They would use the Union and the Con.
stituIiOn to effect their purpose, and pre-
serve them as long as they were effective.

In glancing anew over Sir Walter SCOTS
"Tales Of GraDd, Father" we were re-
minded Of the days Of Cameronian per-
secniion, two centuries ago. Brown, the
Cameronian, was by profession carrier,
and from his Jealous religious principles
was called 1.-The Christian Carrier" In
May, 1855, Pcden, one of the Cameroni-
an ministers, was tracked to Brown s
house, but escaped his purSuers, sa, ing
to Browns wife, as he left, "POor woman
q fearful morning-a dark aud misty
morning"-aS indeed it proved to her d.
rectly after. To follow SCOTS narrative i:
"When Peden was gone, Brown left
his house with a spade in his hand for Or
binary labor, when he was suddenly sur.
rounded and arrested by band of horse
with Clavcrh0uSe at their head. Altho'
the prisoner had a hesitation in his speech
on ordinary occasions, ne answered the
questions which were put to him in this
extremity with such coInpoSure and firm
ness, that ClavcrhouSc asked whether he
was u preacher. lie was answered in
the negative II he has not preached,
said ClaverhOuSe, 'mckle hath he prayed
in his time. But betake YOU now to your
prayers for the last time, addressing the
-eatTerer, for you shall presently die :
The poor man knerlrd dONn and prayed
with Zeal aud when he was touching on
tae political state Of the country, and
praying that Heaven would spare rem
nant, ClavcihouSe intetrupting him said,
Il gave you leave To pray, aud you are
preaching = Sir, answered he prisoner,
turning towards his judge on his knees,
You know nothing either of preaching
Or praying. ii you caii what now say
preaching; and then continued without
confusion. When his drvotianS we're
ended, Ciavcrhou>r commanded him bid
goodnight to his wife and children
Brown turned toward them, and, taking
his wife by tiff hand, told her the hour
was come which he had spoken of when
he first asked her to marry him. IS.
poor woman answered firmly, In this case
am willing to resign Won Then, |
have nothing to do, save to die, he re-
piled, and thank God have been in Il
frame to meet death for many years lie
was shot dead by a party of soldiers at
the end of his own house"
The hcr0jSm Of BroWa'S wife even sur.
passed his own. The brutal ClaverhouSe
Knocked and tainted her, as she stood
horror.stricken at the terrible scene, with
the corpse of her husband living b, side
her, and h r iatherlt IS infant in her arms.
But having boldly challenged the judy,
ment of heaven upon CavcrhouSe for his
crime, ''she placed the child on the ground,
tied up the corpSe'S head, and straighten-
ed the limbs, aud covered him with her
plaid, and sat down and wept over him."
Such names live for other generations.

BsAss 81 stretching downward Ger the hin,
TIE eSldss wheat waved ealmly in the night,
whals dreams swept DER It peacefully and 'till,
AnA-fFOm our hps they plumsd themselves to
fight.
We talked In tones made tender BY the sight,
OfShs psI- moonlight sleeping on the earth,
OF hspes aad clans just struggling Into light,
To which our actual life had given birth
We talked Of every days most quiet hours,
How fast they fitted from our grasp away
How quietly We sat among the flowers
And needed not the passing Of the day.
And then pause slipped in amongst our words,
And then We said, " How sweet the souRds to-
49, night,
Like melody dropped OF the wings Of birds,
As they hy upwards to the fields Of light )"
We said, 1 How calm the blessed moonlight lies
Upon the white waves Of the distant lake
How atill the stars O'eTlOoked US with sad eyes,
As patiently they watch the evening break"
And 10, silence came with measured steps,
And eat between US with its soothing ways
While thoughts of love grew l'rge upon our lips,
Though still they struggled for conventional
phrase,
When. like rivers swim, resistleSs course,
His love leaped into words that from his heart
Game pouring on each other with such force
The tones Jared through them like sound apart.
And, As on eager blossoms falls the dew,
So fell his love on me-with passionate will
Ripping the whole length of my nature through,
Leaving no current undisturbed and SIN,
Oh, blessed memory of that sweet night,
When We, beneath the watchful, rustling trees,
Drew from the wine of love its ruby light,
And drained the chalice of its bitter lees I!
Oh, quiet hills and lake that silent lay,
Guard well the memory that leave to You,
For DER its grave the dead leaves fall away,
w:eaEssA for want Of light and Sr5>
Oh, leaf-lipped trees, through which the shadows
shin,
Murmur again those words so sweet to hear,
That may gather where life's waters drit,
Over the sands, one jewel bright and clear.

THE FooT OF A RSE-The human
hand has often been taken to illustrate
Divine wisdom, and very well. But have
you ever examined your horses foot: 1t
is hardly less curious in its way. It,
parts are somewhat complicated, yet the
design is simple and obvious The hooI
is not as it appears To the careless eye, Il
mere lump Of in>en,ihle bone, fastened
to the leg by joint. 1t is made up OF ii
series Of thin layers, or leaves OF horn,
about five hundred in number, neatly
fitted t. each other and forming lining
to the foot itself There are many more
layers belonging to what is called the cof
lin bone, and fitted into this These are
elastic. Take a quire Of paper and you
will get some idea Of the arrangement of
several layers. Now, the weight of a
horse rests on rs many elastic springs as
there are layers in his four feet-about
four thousand; and all is contiived not
only for easy conveyance of the horses
own body, but whatever burden may be
laid upon him. --upinc JOurnal.
