You may be sure that l did not ask
about the father of that child nor could
l, just then, have come to any other conclu-
sion than that the system of slavery was
one that, in practice, overleaped the bounds
of domestic virtues and invaded the domains
of most infamous harlotry and amalgama-
ton. All this, too, the spirit of noble
wives must bear, and with bleeding hearts
yet smile, though beautiful slave entices
unwittingly the heart, or, at least, passions,
of her husband. Southern wives would
have no reason to deplore it if the necessi-
ties of war should grind to powder the
whole system of slavery, with its attendant
vices, provided they held martial obliga
lions as sacred as did the Roman matron.
After the above incident left, not fully
determined whether the joke was on myself
or the pretty boy.

The Last Illness of CavOur.

LIE Comte de Cavour, Recits ct Souve-
MRS." by M. William de Ia Rive, now in
the press at Paris, is work which will be
eagerly welcomed by every friend of Italian
liberty. 1t contains numerous unpublished
facts in the history of the great statesman,
and also an interesting narrative Of Cavour's
last illness, from the pen of his niece, the
Countess Al6eri. From this narrative we
take the following passage:
CAvoUR's LAST WORDS ON ITALY AND Carl.
BALDI,
As soon as the King was gone the Count
began talking again.
"Northern Italy is made there are now
no longer Lombards, nor Piedmontese, nor
Tuscans, nor ROmagnols; we are all Ital-

there is much corruption in their country.

have been so badly governed. 1t is the,
work of that scoundrel, Ferdinand. No,

Speaking of the convincing and con-
elusive defence of General Mcclellan, pub
lished in the New York World, the Spring.
field Republican says"it will be valuable for
future reference and may induce some who
are wavering to give heartier support to
our young General: We have no hopes of
converting Senator Chandler. Had be
been a man he would have died of shame
before this. He has given more aid and
comfort to the enemy than almost any other
Northern man, and we are confident he will
get his reward in the future. 1t is well to
hold him up to public execration and ex-
pose the falsehoods he has told about Gen.
Mcclellan and the army Of the Potomac. "

The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican is responsible for the
following statement: ia
A few days since I CHANGED to discover
that newspaper man who stood high had
been trading in the influence of soma OF the
present members of Congressman bad
made his thousands. The NJ. C.'s probably
know nothing of bis work, but his relations
with them were such that he could promise
their votes with show of probability
Looking over the accounts of the Senate the
other day, found that to one Senator
81, 1868 had been paid for clerk to bis
committee, when in fact he has had no clerk
and drew the money in the name of an i'm.
aginary character. Another committee did
not meet twice, but the clerk, who did not
enter the committee room half dozen
times during the session, drew 81 1868, or Sc
per day. What wonder that white-wash
ing is the order of the day when such out.
RACES upon common honesty were rife The
war and the INDUSTRIOUS debt will drive this
kind of respectable vilainy from high place
because the people won't endure them much
longer. 1t was only the other day that l
heard of the latest and most amusing bit of
knavery in the capital. A gentleman came
here and quietly gave out in few circles
that be was part proprietor and associate
editor OF well known New York newspaa
per. He was careful:aotere he went, but he
used the argument and with several high
functionaries of the government, the Presi-
dent among the rest, to obtain an Office.
He finally got capital Office on the
strength of the falsehood that he was con.
nected with the Office in question, and it was
not exploded till the stories of his fabrica-
ton reached the ears Of the genuine pros
prietors and editors, when they sent word to
Washington, "Mr. So and.So has no con
nection whatever with our journal-if he
says so, be lies" Nevertheless the man
got bis Office, and keeps it!

"A Southern subscri Der has an excel.

the Southern States, and denies with ear

There are very many men in all parts of the
South who are at this moment, as they have
ever been, loyal and true to the Union, but
they dare not manifest it until they are assured
of permanent protection. They have seen
repeated instances in which Union men who
have shown their colors when the United States
forces advanced in their neighborhoods, have
been utterly sacrificed by the withdrawal of
those forces. They are not forgetful of the
fate of certain Unionists in the Valley of Vir.

A BRILLIANT GEM.

The following is from late number of the
London Athen9um
SUMNER.
Lo! lazy Summer, swarthy, in the sun
Lies painting. with bare breasts, upon the
hills,
Swathing her limbs in hazes warm and dun,
Where splendors into dusky splendors run,
And sultry glory all the heaven o'erills.
Not white dimple stirs amid the corn,
Not q low ripple shivers through the leaves
Since, wrapped in gold and crimson CLEANS
unshOrn,
Came flashing through the east the regal morn,
No throated twitterings gurgle round the
caves.
Flooded in sunny silence sleep the kline;
In languid murmurs brooklets float and flow;
The quaint farm gables in the rich light shine,
And round them jasminea honeysuckles Irvine,
And close beside them sunfowers burn and
blow.
Amid the growing heat lay me down.
And into visions swarms the NOTED air:
Cleans up before me many famous town,
Pllared and tested with regal crown.
Outshimmering in an orient purple glare;
Lo lowly Tadmor, burning it it's sands
Baalbeck and Babylon-I see slow streams
UlQlng Dy mosque anu mInareL-See tue
CLEANS
Of seas in sunset-slips of strands,
And drowsy Bagdad buried deep in dreams;
See swarthy monarchs flushed in purple rings
Of silken courtiers ;-through half.open
doors
Catch the spice odors, and the cool of springs
Leaping forever in a maze of wings.
See light forms dancing over pearly floors!
Sleeping seraglios, spire, and tremulous dome
Winking and drowsy splendor all the day.
See forest haunts where thick the lions rOam,-
See thirsty panthers splashed in bloody foam
Leap terribly as lightnings on their prey;
Or stand with Cortez on mountain peak
Above the Aztec city-see unrOlled
Gem.threaded shores of Montezuma weak;
See the white temples swarming thick and
sleek ef
And sunny streets stretch up by towers of
gold;
See silken sails float by, ambrosial,
Laden with spices, up persian glen;
Or stand on Lebanon, mid the cedars tall,
Or hear the soft and silver fall
Ofwater down o jut of Darien.
But 10 waking SILVER in the trees,
And voices mid the hay-cocks in the glen;
The sun is sitting and the crimson sears
Are shaken into splendor by the breeze,
And all the busy world is up again!

Our Country's Call.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Lay down the axe; fling by the spade;
Leave in it's track the toiling plow;
The rife and the bayonet-blade
For arms like yours were filter now.
And let the hands that ply the pen
Quit the light desk. and learn to WELD
The horseman's crooked brand, and rein
The charger on the battlefield.
Our country calls away! away!
To where the blood stream blots the green.
Strike to defend the gentlest sway
That time in all his course has seen.
See, from thousand coverts-see
Spring the armed foes that haunt her track:
They rush to smite her down, and we
Must beat the banded traitors back.
Ho sturdy as the oaks ye cleave,
And moved as soon to fear and fight,
Men of the glade and forest leave
Your woOdcraft for the field of fight.
The arms that WELD the axe must pour
An iron tempest on the foe;
His serried ranks shall reel before
The arm that lays the panther low.
And ye who breast the mountain storm,
In grassy steep or Highland lake,
Come for the land we love to form
A bulwark that no foe can break.
Stand, like your own gray cliffs that mock
The whirlwind; stand in her defence;
The blast as soon snail move the rOck
As rushing squadrons bear ye thence.
And ye whose homes are by her grand
Swift rivers, rising far away,
Come from the depth of her green land
As mighty in your march as they;
As terrible as when the rains
Have swelled them over bank and bourne,
With sudden floods to drown the plains,
And sweep along the woods uptorn.
And We who throng, beside the deep,
Her ports and hamlets of the strand
In number like the waves that leap
On his long murmuring marge of sand.
Come, like that deep, when DER his brim
He rises, all his floods to pour,
And filings the proudest barks that swim
A helpless wreck against his shore.
Few, few were they whose swords of old
Won the fair land in which we dwell;
But we are many, we who hold
The grim resolve to guard it well.
Strike for that broad and goodly land,
Blow after blow, till men shall see
That Might and Right move hand in hand,
And glorious must their triumph be.

and substituting General Burnside in
his place. The announcement this
morning, Of course, occasions the most
intense excitement among the troops.
But We hear nothing Of those ore him
dred thousand who were to lay down
their arms. On the contrary, the news
is received among the soldiers as the
harbinger Of victory. To see the effect,
| made known the fact to number Of
them collected at the depot this morn
ing. "Vhat's good newsr' exclaimed
one. "I am mighty glad to hear that, :"
said another. This war will soon be
ended" chimed in third. There is
not, indeed, dissenting voice among
the whole number as to ths proptiety
and necessity for such Il change. The
Generals Staff is, Of course, uproarious,
venting their spleen against the Presi-
dent, General HallecIl, and mankind in
general. General Mcclellan was very
fortunate in selecting his staff Of officers

The Forty-hrst Massachusetts, regi-
ment escorted Gen. Banks from Boston
to New York, and was entertained with
breakfast at the Astor House on Fri
day. Gen. Banks was present and made
long speech, in which he chiefly
dwelt upon the part New England had
taken in the war. We make single
extract:
AS u Yankee he was half inclined to
talk; but as a man of some varied expe-
rience he hesitated, for he thought the
time to talk had not yet come. The
people of this land had not yet been
sufficiently stepped in suffering. More
States must be invaded, more hearth:
stones rendered desolate, before the peo=
pie of this country will consent to talk
with one another as they should. He
could not go far in what he had to say.
but this he would declare as his earnest
belief, that no power, no! not all the
powers on earth combined, could des-
troy this great American Government
when once the people had been made to
understand the real issue. Trenen-
dous and prolonged cheering. Amer
leans, however, will have to learn lit
tie. They have, hitherto, thought
there must be short cut through every
thing, but here their idea is at fault:
.here is no short cut in this war; it must
be fought through to the very end
EApplause.] We must fight, and that
too, with full appreciation Of the men
with whom we battle, and this once un-
derstood, the rebellion will fall, even
should "unfenced lesoiation" mark
every step Of our path toward the con-
summation. [Cheers. Should the men
row in power and intrusted with the
dread responsibility allow this glorious
Government to fall, in after ages, wheH'
the men who cruuifed the Redeemer
will be mentioned with pity, these would
be covered with utter and eternal scorn.

LOVE IN AUTUMN.


All day with measured stroke 1 hear
From threshing floors the busy fail;
And in the fields of stubble near
Incessant pipe the speckled quail.
All golden ripe The apples grow
Among the orchards russet leaves;
Southwark the twittering swallows go
That sung all summer meath the caves.
Across the far horizons line
The slender autumn mists are drawn;
The grapes are purple on the vine,
IssssE Ehessnaa rsshiaesz tire
<sAn ned al art the burning gslty'.esr'
The spiders threads of silver white,
Like netted vapors to the eye,
Hang quivering in the monday light.
A year ago to-day we stood
Beneath the naples crimson glow,
That, like a watch-fre in the wood,
Cleaned to the yellowing vale, below.
Calm was the day, without breath,
An all-pertading stiffness deep;
A calm that seemed the calm of Death
A silence like to that of sleep.
And only on the listening ear
Through the wood wide the hollow sound
Of dropping nuts and sweet and clear,
The spring that bubbled from the ground.
Close at our feet the brook slid down,
Past tangled knots of sedge and weed,
And under leaves of gold and brown,
Te sparkle through the level mead.
A lock of hair; ring flower
The latter faded, old, and sere;
Mute records of that vanished hour
Memen.oes that my heart holds dear.
Like one who in pensive dream
Sees long-lost friends around his bed,
/, gazing on these treasures, seem
To hold CO mmunion with the dead.
The whispered vow-the lingering kiss
The long embraces, cheek to cheek
The silence that proclaimed our bliss,
Beyond the power of words to speak
All seem SO near--.then home we went
Through meadows where the aster grew,
While overhead the lines were blent
OF sunset with the melting blue.
0 fire that paints the autumn leaf
o calm that knows no quckening breath
o winds that strip the ungarnered sheaf-
.Ie are to me, the types of Death
Ali soon those groves shall! lose their glow
And yonder Sun his heat and glare;
And blasts that through December blow
