SWEET OLD AGE.-God sometimes
gives to man guiltless and holy second
childhood, in which the soul becomes
childlike, not childish, and the faculties,
in full fruit and ripeness, are mellow,
without sign Of decay. This is that
sought for land of Beulah, where they
who have. travelled manfully the Christian
way, now abide awhile to show the world
a perfect manhood. Life, with its bat
ties and its sorrows, lies far behind them !;
the soul has thrown off its armor, and sits
in an evening undress of calm and leisure.
Thrice blessed the family or neighborhood
that numbers amongit one of those not
yet assembled saints Gentle are they,
and tolerant, and apt to play with little
children, easy to be pleased with little
pleasures. a.

WHAT OUGHT TO BE.-A gentleman
travelling in New Hampshire, within sight
of the Mouadnock, was struck with the
healthy appearance of family where he
called On asking his farmer host what
might be the cause, he received this re-
ply: "They have neither been brought
up on unwholesome diet, nor subject to
uuwholesome modes of dress, nor kept
from daily exercise in tho open air. They
have drank neither tea nor coffee, nor
lived on any other than plain and simple
food. Their dress has never been So
tight as to hinder free respiration. They
have exercised every day in the open air,
assisting me in tending my fruit trees,
and in such other occupations as are ap-
propriate for women" .
How many there are who would be ben
Gifted by such course, as we'll among our
farmers as in the city. The open air is
great panacea for many diseases. It is
cheap and ever present. Don't refuse to
take it.-N II. Journal of Agriculture.

I. The fear having become quite common
that government might find itself embarrass-
ed for lack of soldiers, and the Democrats hav-
ing constantly asserted that volunteering was
played out, and Congress having very proper
ly provided CONSUMPTION law to enable the
President to keep the ranks of the army full,
the howl of unconstitutionality is again set up.
Every one Of the measures named above,
has been Denounced by the copperhead organ
in this city-that paper which claims to be ve-
ry loyal, and whose editor feels aggrieved
that any should doubt his loyalty-and yet 1t,
and the party it represents, boast of their
willingness to support the Administration sin
all constitutional measures to suppress the
rebellionw Was grosser hypociicy ever ex-
hibited? Is it not true that the phrase, "con-
stitutional measures" is used by the copper
heads as mask to cover the the most arrant
treason?
The truth is, every measure proposedby the
government, that contains the slightest ele-
ment of power, is pronounced unconstitutional
by the copperheads. But for some of the ve-
ny measures which they have denounced as
unconstitutional, Washington would have
been in the hands of the rebels year and q
half ago, JEFF. Davis would be snugy and safe
" installed in the White House, the rebel flag
would float over the nationrl capitol, and the
constitutional President of the United States
would be a fugitive! And who can doubt
that precisely this is what the copperheads
u haar, viz 10 oAcnmrl;eha1f G.rb
a condition of things would have restored
them to seats of honor. 1t would have re-
stored the lost laurels of the Buchanan De-
mocracy. We believe there are men wicked
enough in this state, and even in this city, TO
have welcomed with hosannas and illumina-
tons the advent Of precisely such state Of
thugs as this; and these are the men who are
among the loudest to tell of their willingness
to support "all constitutional measures to
suppress the rebellion" With them the test
of constitutionality, in all war measures, is alb
solute weakness and lack Of availability.
Nothing that promises success, that will bring
death to rebellion, that will strike the traitors
in vital part, is constitutional. You may do
anything, only you must not hurt the rebels.
You may make war, but you must not kill any
body. You may put down rebellion, but you
must not go where tits. You may deal heavy
blows, but you must hit nobody with them.
You may talk vaiantly, but confine yourself
to talk; keep do-nothing generals in COM
mand; throw away the guns and use moth
ing but spades; drive back the slaves when
they seek the protection of our camps; let
traitors have full liberty; carry on the war
for the benefit of copperheaded contractors
and such constitutional measures will find a
cheerful support from the copperhead party.
Measures less favorable for them and more
efiectual Tor the suppression Of rebellion, are
plainly and palpably unconstitutional.

weeklies, and who had at last consented. On
reading it over, and feeling satisfied that it was
wanted, being sprightly, graceful and womanly,
and to say all in a word, just the thing to give
life to a new magazine, | forwarded il to the
"Continentil," saying, substantially, if pub
lished, it must be paid for; if not please return
at my expense. Before the next publication,
having some leisure my hands, sent prose
paper, regular magazine article, and another
poem, and waited-and waited-till my patience
began to give way. Not one of the whole ap-
peared-not one of the whole was returned-not
one of the whole was ever acknowledged by any
of the courteous gentlemen who chad been OBJ
truding" themselves upon my notce-perfect
strangers though they were-and soliciting my
help in the way mentioned.
After waiting awhile-I wrote to the editors,
then to the New York publisher. then to his sue
cessors, then to the Boston publisher, requesting
the return of the MS, and the cash for my
poem, whatever it might be. Not word-not
a single word from that day to this, have heard
from the ptiful scamps. and so have taken the
liberty of warning others against them, and of
apologizing to the gentlewoman above referred
to, for having been instrumental in the miserable
trick perpetrated upon her, by what would seem
to be combination of sharpers.

ONE DAY
LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival of the Steamship Anglo Saxon at
this port.

Steamship Anglo Saxon, Capt. Burgess, from
Liverpool Feb 26th, and Londonderry 9th,
arrived at this port about four o'clock yester-
day afternoon. She had % cabin and 1913
steerage passengers, and full cargo. Her
advices are one day later than those by the
City of Baltimore.
Atlantic & st. Lawrence Railroad Stock is
q IL, with sales at 20 ga.
Steamer Gladiator, from Nassau, arrived at
Liverpool on the 25th with half million dol
lars in specie, on Confederate account, and 42O
bales of cotton.
The London Globe thinks il a contradiction
between Seward and MERCER exists in facts,
one of the two governments involved will
have to demand substantial apology.
Mr.. Spence of Liverpool, the financial agent
to the Confederate government, had gone to
Paris.
The official correspondence relative to the
Galway contract, is published. 1t shows an
unfavorable financial position, but the direc-
tors undertook to remedy government objec-
tons by the issue of additional shares.
A telegram from Katowitz reports an en-
gagement between the insurgents and Rus
slams, near Kutno, lasting upwards of eight
hours. The Russians were put to flight, and
took refuge on Pr1ssian territory.
1t is stated that the Cossacks pursuing Po-
lish fugitves ON Austrian territory, had been
peted with stones by the people, and escorted
back to the frontier. 1t is supposed that Aus
tria will demand satisfaction for the violation
of her territory.
The Paris Constitutional has an article to
show that fears of war are groundless-the
| understanding between France, England and
Austria, caused by Prusssan Intervention,
being a sure guarantee for the maintenance OF
peace.
1t is asserted by various authorities, that
France and England have agreed to insist on
the fultilment by Russia OF the engagements
she entered into in 1878, viz: constitutional
government and form OF national autonomy
for Poland. There is no desire for any terri
torial changes, nor for the re-erection of the
Kingdom of Poland. There are no apprehen-
sions now OF other than diplomatic means
being necessary TO persuade the Gar to accede
to the request of the three powers.
