ABRAHAM.


aaThe man who stands by and says nothing,
when the peril of his country is discussed, can
not be misunderstood. If not hindered, he IS
sure to help the enemy."-A LINCOLN.
Ifspeech were free, tale I'd tell, 4 3
..r. That might be called an epigram, II
How once down East, as it beiel,
Perhaps in quiet Tyringham,
A pious father had a son, .-.T...
4 fearless, rowing, wicked lad;
Who, when his teens had scarce begun,
Set up to disobey his dad. .
He played his pranks at such rate,
The old man oft was forced to WELD
The rod, (he cherished such hate
Ofsinl J. to make the urchin yield.
Now Abraham-the fathers name
Once heard the little rascal swear,
Or tbouoht-for that is the same
... While fogging him, he read his stare
To mean wicked word; and then,
With double grunt and whitening trown,
And grating teeth, the blows again o..
With unrelenting force came down. -,
tTIl teach you, scape-grace, not TO sWear!'
Artieulated Abraham.

The Arsenal at Springfield.
BY H. W. LoNeFELLow.

Thisis the Arsenal. From floor to ceiling, a
Like hinge organ, rise the FURNISHED arms;
But from their silent pipes no anthem peahng
Startles the villages with strange alarms
Abl what a sound will rise, how wild and dIeary,
When the dsath-angel touches these swift keys!
What loud lament and dismal Miserere
Will mingle with their awful symphonies!
hear even now the infinite fierce chorus,
The cries of agony, the endless groan,
Which through the ages that have gone before US,
In long Teverberations reach our own.
The tumuit of each sacked and burning village;
The shout that every prayer for mercy browns; ;
The soldiers revel in the midst of pillage;
The wall of famine in beeaguered towns;
The bursting shell, the gateway wrenehed
The rattling musketry, the clashing blade;
And ever and anon, in tones of thunder,
The diapason of the cannonade. . .e
Were half the power that fills the world with
g.. terror, .... -.-.
Were half the wealth bestowed on camps and
Given to redeem the human mind from error,
There were no need of arsenals or forts;
The warriors name would bea name abhorredl
And every nation that should lift again
Its hand against a brother, on its forehead
Would wear forevermore the curse of Cainl
Down the dark future, through long generations,
The echoing sounds grow fainter, and then
So .. cease; .t- ~ :.
And like bell, with solemn, sweet vibrations,
/ hear once mora the voice of Christ say
-.-.-- "Peaceln
Peacel and no longer from its brazen portals,
The blast of wars great organ shakes the
skiesl
But beautiful as songs of the immortals,
The holy melodies Of love ARISE

The most remarkable feature Of this state
ment is the progress of freedom in the Bor-
der Slave States. These States,-hiudrauce
at first-are now helps to the Union cause.
Missouri, Tennessee, and Maryland are all
striving who shall leap first into the rank Of
Free States. Our readers already know the
manly loyalty and free spirit of the radicals
of Missouri. In Tennessee tas We learn By
private advicesy the slavehoIdsrs themselves
are the foremost petitioners for emancipa-
tion; and Gov. Andrew johnson, who at
the beginning set his hand upon slavery
only to prop up the institution, now has set
both heart and hand upon totally destroy

such as to astonish even an Albany poiiti

TIE LABOR QUESTION were told
last week by an old friend and respected
citizen Of GAINESVILLE, that the coal miners are
there earning FIVE dollaV a day. We know
the high wages mechanics and laborers ere
receiving here, and that hands are scarce in
town and country. There is little danger
that trsdesmen and mechanics, or eSen
house servants will have anything to ap-
prehend. in this generation, from an imag-
mary influx of colored laborers. 1t will be
all the other way. The enlargement Of the
