SECEsH IN MUsCATINE.-We are informed
on reliable authority that a certain gentle
man in this city recently endeavored to dis
suade some of Capt. Campbell's company
from enlisting, telling them that they "might
as well be in hi as in the army" If this
is true, this man deserves to be run out of
the city. Enough difficulty will be expert
enced by the Government in raising troops
without the impediments thrown in the way
by the miserable secession sympathizers in
the North. 1t is high time some action was
taken in the matter. We do not propose to
give any names in connection with this article
but may have more to say concerning seces-
sion sympathizers in the future.

The Free North.

We clip the following from the Cleveland
Herald of late date. The view Of matters
taken by the editor of the Free North and
England are pertinent and 10 the point. The
Herald says:
at should not be concealed, and it couh
not if we would-that the surrender of Mason
and S!ideII will not modify, one particle, the
intense feeling Of Indignation now excited to-
wards England. That We have received at
English hands, since the rebellion broke out,
only i'll will is true. That England has viola
ted all her mouth-made vows OF sympathy for
the slave is just and true. That she has con-
ccaled her hate for Republicnnism, rs n mere
matter of policy, until such time as hor
blows against il would be more telling, is ap-
parent That She has been found venal enough
for commercial reasons-to make demand
for redress upon US Tor an act, which she, for
hundreds OF years. has, at the eAnnODs mouth.
maintained 10 hc lawful. no one can deny. In
a word, that She has joined the slave power in
its war against Democratic Institutions and
the rights Of the people, has been proved every
day since our domt site troubles began. Time
never can ellacc these facts, and, SOONER or la
ter. this bate will break out in open war.

Immediately cast about for another excuse to

There are many good people who are most
anxious to teach their children Alright. They
are crowding their daily path with prohibi-

OF point out to them the steps they may safe

them that they must not break the Sabbath,
wiser parents are teaching their children how
they may keep it pleasantly and protitably.
TheSabbath is to the formUraday on which they
must not play with balls, carts, and 50. on; a

latter it is day on which they may sing

they please; on which they may seek out an

LIFE AND EXISTENCE.

The mere lapse of years is not life. To cat,
and drink, and sleep; to be exposed to darkness
and the light; to pace round in the mill of habit
and turn thought into an implement of trade;
this is not life In all this, but poor frac-
tion of the consciousness of humanity is ava
kened, and the slnctities still slumbcr which
make it worth while to be. knowledge, truth,
love, beauty. goodness. faith, alone can give
vitality to the mechanism of existence The
laugh of mirth that vibrates through the heart;
the tears that frcshen the dry waste withini
the music that brings childhood back the
prayer that calls the future near; the douh
which makes us mediate; the death whicl
startles us with mystery the harJships which
force US to struggle; the anxiety that end il
trust; are the true nourishmcnt of our natura
