TIE STORM.

Tho June sun had its streams of light,
Pour'd hot upon the air,
Till the painting earth oppressed could scar
The heated showering bear.
The hyacinths of the field hung low,
The roses hid or fell;
Not slightest wind the fragrance shook,
From leaf or loaded cell.
The strawberry seem'd alone to blush
With joy at the sultry flow,
And yielded its crimson pulp to drink,
And redder seem'd to grow.
Clouds gather'd now, a sheet of mist
Withheld the burning shower;
And DER the furnaced ground there fell
A shade of evening hour.
The chickweed reported tempest nigh,
Yelling its snowy form;
And shut the amber tulips cup,
Prophetic of the storm.
The scOrch'd herbs-fOided up their leaves,
Faultless barometers,-
Now DER the shadow'd fields of Garth,
No blade nor blossom stirs.
Thro' the green breathless groves of wood,
Voices of fear were heard:
The bodinG chirp and the whistle shrill,
Th' alarm shrek of the bird.
Their far ping pinions wai'd the grove,
In trembling speed to hide;
Retreat in the close knit bougbs to find,
Till the tempest should subside.
Now broke thro' the garden whistling winds
That shook the towering bough;
Rough thro' the loaded trees they passed,
And scattered the weight below,
And dash'd the heavy rain-drops down,
To crystal stone congealed;
Crushing the fruit and the silky grain,
Telling the waving field.
The thunder and wind and hail alone,
And the crash of the rift'd tree
Were heard as the lightning's fearful streak
Flash'd bright on the upper sea.
But at last athwart the frowning East,
The rain-drops threw the bow;
A sign the war of the winds had ceas'd:
God watch'd the world below.
Awhile the tempest blew abroad,
Then all again was still;
The solar beams from the clouds burst out,
The air and earth to fill.
Cod when thy smile from our hearts is passed,
Iot long be the gift withheld;
t beam it orious thro' the cloud,
When PASSIONS storm is quelled.

To the Editors of the Enquirer:

TO Cne EIltOfS OF LLe EnqUFI5I'
On the 24th of April, 1893, Mr. Jeferson !,
then Secretary of State. forwarded to the
Spanish Court proposal for Convention
for the mutual rendition OF fus'tlVes rom
Justice, bet ween the United States and the
Spanish Territories bordering them, IN WHICH
occurred the following passage:
"TREAsoN.-This, when real, merits the
highest punishment But most codes ex-
tend their definitions OF treason to acts not
really against ones country. They do not
distinguish between acts against the GouerE-
nnent and acts against the expressions cf atS
Government; the latter are virtues; yet they
have furnished more victims to the execu-
TONER than the former; because real tressons
are rare; expressions frequent. The unsuc-
cessful struggles against tyranny have been
the ch eff martyrs of treason laws in all coun'
triesD =.

A German poet, in describing the passers
on a promenade, says that on the Amalien-

weathers, rain or shine, summer or WINTER
Umbrellas pass of every shade of green,
And now and then a crimson one Is seen
Like an umbrella ripened.

IEDUsTRY.-Man must have an occupation
or be misera BILE. Toll is the price of sleep
and appetite, of ealth and enjoyment. The
very necessity which overcomes our natural
sloth, is a blessing. The world does not
contain briar or thorn that divine mercy
could have spared. We are happier with
the sterility which we can overcome by IN
dustry, than we could be with the most
spontaneous and u unbounded profusion. The
body and mind are improved by the toll
that fatigues them that toll is a thousand
times rewarded by the pleasure which it be-
slows. Its eDjoyments are peculiar; no
wealth can purchase them. no insolence can
touch them. They only flow from the ex-
ertions which they repay.

PRAYER.-Prayer was not invented; it
was born with the first sigh, the first joy,
the first sorrow of the human heart, or
rather man was born to pray; to glorify God.
or to implore him was his only mission here
below; all else perishes before him or with
him; but the cry of glory. of admiration. or
of love, which be raises towards the Crea-
tor, does not perish on his passing from
earth; it re- ascends, it resounds from age to
age, in the ear Of the Almighty, like the
reflection of his own masniicence. 1t is
the only thing in man which is wholly di-
vine, and which he can exha'e with JOY
and pride; it is homage to him to whom
homage alone is due-the infinite Being.

Poisoned Bullets.

According tothe Troy Wing the United
States Government is engaged in manufac-
turing poisoned bullets. This is what tn,
Whig says:
I'VE have before US some specimens of the
Mimic bullets now produced at the United
States Arsenals. One of them is made
fatally poisonous by the washing of the in
dental portion with a solution of copper
Another is the Mimic ball in three sections
The heavy part is the pointed or forward
end-this is evidently intended to penetrate
further. Next to this is washer of zinc.
Behind this comes the butt, with thecy lin :
der, on which are joined the three sections
of the bullet. Suppose a man to be struck
by one of the bullets, the surgeon, on probing
the wound, would be apt to get at the light
butt and cylinder. The zinc washer would
still remain causing inflammation aud death
Should the victim survive the extraction of
the cylinder and washer, third operation
would still remain for the heavy part of the
bullet.' .-.
Can cruelty be more refined? The scalp
ing process IS benign institution in com
parison to this atrocity. We hope. for the
sake Of hum anty that this announcement is
not true.

TURN THEM OUT.-Greeley's Tribune of
the 18th says, Lincoln will make peace with
the rebels if they will free the negroes, not
otherwise.
Forney's Press, says there shall be no
peace until the slaves are all free.
Brough at Cleveland said, the war shall
net stop until slavery is wi ped out.
In two and a half years one hundred
thousand negroes have been freed by the
army. There are thirty-nine hundred thou :
sand yet to free. How many drafts will it
take to do it? How many soldiers must de? ?
How many widows and orphans be made?
The Democratic policy is to put down the
rebellion and restore the Union without
these sacrifices. So far for every negro set
free whteman has perished. We would
save the white men, and let the negroes
alone to raise cotton to make shirts and
frocks cheap once more.
But Greeley, Lincoln and Forney and
Brough will not do that. Let US put them
out.-Ohio Democrat.

rrThe mem bers of the NJ. E. Church
South, in Missouri, do not seem willipg to
admit the truth of the reports Of disorgan-
ization and dissolution of that body which
have been so freely circulated. The fol-
lowing, from.the Canton Press, a conserva-
tive paper, will serve to show their spirit
and what they claim to be doing:
at may surprise and mortify the enemies
of the NJ. E. Church South, in Missouri, to
be reminded that from all quarters we hear
tidings of continued prosperity, and though
one petty official has announced that the
Church has no existence, it is to-day en-
ioyiug degree of prosperity and exercis-
ing an Influence for good unsurpassed by
any Church in the State. Even in the
western part of the State, where preachers
have encou ntered the greatest difficulties,
we are pleased to learn that the good work is
still progressing, the ark Of God moves on
ward Rev. NJ. r. Jones, P. E of the
Plattsburg District, under date of July 23d,
writes as follows:
Glad to hear from you, nv brother, and
that you are laboring to correct erroneous
i'm pressions in re gard to the disorganizatioL
of our church. Let me assure You that
every preacher in my district is on his work
and. as a general thing, they are doing well
under the circumstances. We have had
some very good revivals during the present
conference year."

things as they never did before.

Where the weaker Secretaries will throw
their portfolios is not stated. When this

CHINA WARE FOR THE HoLDAYs-
We call attention to the attr active adver-
tisement of China-ware by Hollingsworth
& Bros, to be found in another column.
The advertisement will require close and
repeated reading, and their stock o
ware will bear close examination, and
we are informed by those who are judges
of such matters, ladies of course, their
stock is the largest and most complete
ever brought to the city.
From the plainest and cheapest to the
most gorgeous and elegant, everything
to adorn and beautify table, all that is
convenient, that is wonderful, or that is
desirable, can be found on their coun-
tiers and on their shelves in the most
overlooking abundance. Every variety,
both English and French, are here found
in sets or by the single piece, and at
prices that are seldom offered in these
stirring war times.
Ladies desiring to get an elegant table
on Christmas, or who expect to receive
calls on New Years day, should by all
means call and examine their exten.
sive stock of the most elegant and fash
ionable China at once, that they may be
able TO obtain the first choice. No such
attraction has ever been seen in Evans
vile, we reckon, and the Messrs. Hol
lingsworth and their assistants will take
great pleasure in showing their goods.

as steamboat cable, was attached to it.
The watch was purchased by Captain
Conner, of the steamer Liberty. A hasty
glance through the stock of Mr. Buck W IS
sufficient to convince us that his estab-

ing Holiday presents. Gold and silver
ornaments of every variety, and most ex-
quisite workmanship, fill his magnificent
show cases, and are offered at prices that
will accommodate the purces of all

Appeal to the Public.

About three months since a meeting
was held in the Locust street meeting
house, to procure clothing for the wives
and children of the colored soldiers who
are defending us from the rebels. Many
of our citizens gave literally, and their
donations have been sent off under the
direction of Rev. Mr.. Clifford, who had
the business in hand.
During the past month few Christian
women of this city, have been holding
regular weekly meetings to promote, so
far as possible, by their labor, the same
good work But they need funds, and
they earnestly beg the people of Evans
vile to give of their abundance to assist
in clothing those destitute and suffering
people. Especially should Christian
men and aCOmen remember that while
they are enjoying all the comforts and
blessings of the homes which God has
given them, thousands of these poor col
ored persons are actually suffering for
clothes nAdful to protect them from the
cold of the present winter. r.
