LYING Down TO DIE.-A prospecting
party to Bear River, in British Columbia,
reports that while on their way down the
river they saw a shirt and handkerchief
hanging to a bush, and upon proceeding
to the spot were surprised and grieved to
find lying beneath it the body of white
man wrapped in blanket and his head pill
lowed on a log. The body was in an ad-
vanced state of decomposition, and near
at hand lay tin cup, on which were
scratched these words: " Donald Munroe;
lost in the woods; is from Inverness,
Scotland; born June, 1925" Finding
death inevitable, the deceased, before "
ing down to die, had scratched these lines
with a pin.

The Disconnected Bee.

There was n terrible commotion In tho
Beehive. The sentnels at the doorway
ceased to fan with their wings to
listen; the drones murlnured with q
hoarse voice; the bees run out and in great
confusion; the work all stopped and dis
solution seemed to reign in the honey
kingdom. What was the matter! At
ter a great deal of noise and clamor, it
was discovered that the bees had brought
criminal before their queen in order to
know what should be done with her,
The queen turned found slowly and ma
jestically, as queens should do, and then
inquired:
"What is the matter? Why have
you brought that young bee before mel"
"Please your majesty, she wont work !"
"Wont work A bee wont work 2"
No, your majesty, and she is not only
idle, but is all the time complaining and
finding fault with everybody, and thus
makes the whole hive unhappy"
"Hebe, is this so? what have you to
sayT
"Please your majesty" whined poor
Hebc, "Im The most unfortunate of all
your subjects. The fact is Tn not hand
some! Ny face is small, and one Of
my eyes seems to squiut; and though I'm
an Italian bee, yet my dress is not rich
gold, but has dim, leaden look, aud ny
feet are large, and my arms are
hairy, and my ears are to long. In Short
I'm so plain that nobody ever notices me,
and / have no admirers, and actually
overheard gentleman say How
homely Hebo grows! Those who are
handsome and have admirers can afford to
work, but for me there is nothing but cha
grin and modification"
"Foolish one" cried the queen
"Now hear my sentence! You will, l
hope, have long lie, even nine moons
longl You have already wasted four
days. | condemn you to rise at early
morn, to 60 out at once and wash your
face and hands in the dew, that gathers
in the clematis. Then you are to go from
flower to flower and bring in honey suffi-
cient to feed ten young bees. 1t will take
you out twenty-five journeys every day,
and require the honey of one hundred
flowers each journey"
"Oh dear" cried Hebe, "to think of
sucking twenty-five hundred flowers each
dayp
eyes, and you must nurse ten young
bees all the time, and thus mature one
every day on an average, and you must
do this during three moons. This is my
sentence, and you arc not to appear be-
fore me during that periodT
The queen turned away and the sister
bees led poor Hebe to the door of the hive
and pushed her out. At first she was be-
wildered and cast down. But the sun
shone bright, and the birds sung and the
air was filled with her sisters coming and
going, flying and singing. She spread
her wings and away she flew. Away
she went over fences and trees, till she
found field Of white clover. Then she
came down, and TO her amazement found
it easy work. In a short time she had
drawn from her hundred clover heads, and
then straight back to the hive. In she
came singing and began to feed her young
charge. And then off again, morning
noon and night she was coming and going.
Her young bees loved her, and sang with
her and went out in company as fast as

What Democrats Will Do.

We will support the administration in
the conduct Of the war, in all its constitu-
tional measures, and shall be in favor of
giving it all the men and money that
may be necessary TO carry on the contest
for restoration Of the Union, but not one
cent or one man to carry out confscation
or emancipation proclamations, or to for
ward the radical project of placing the ne
gro on an equality with the white man;
and it is our earnest hope that the day is
not far distant when the American peo-
pie will awake to the fact that their liber-
ties are being taken from them, one by
one, will arise in their might and crush to
powder the infamous party that is endeav-
oring to destroy the last best government
and constitution on earth.-Jacksoa Pa

The PRESIDENTS ACTs.-The Presi-
dent solcmnly declared in the onset that
il was not his intention to meddle with
the institutions Of the States, and said he
had no constitutional right to do so.--
with such declarations he gained first the
confidence of the people, and then their
hearty support in carrying on a war for
the restoration Of the Union. Once
chained to his professed objects, off comes
bis mask, and he breaks down and de-
stroys an institution which was the corner
stone of prosperity TO nearly half the
States, and then to fortify himself in his
wrong against deceived and outraged
people, strikes down at one fell swoop
their last safeguard, an appeal for griev-
ance committed by his minions, to the
courts Of the land. 1t is love of power
which animates him and those who APP
prove his course, and a tact and quiet
submission TO his acts is a proof that the
people are ready for the yoke of despot.

THRILLING ADvENrURE.-James Dor

ing adventure one day last week. He
had been away on business, and returning
on foot, had reached the middle of the
river bridge above the city when he was
startled by the sonud of an approaching
train. The night was dark. A heavy
rain had made the cross-ties very slippery
and insecure. TO run, he dare not; to
jump was certain death; and with won
derful presence of mind he locked his arms
around one of the ties, and swinging of
between the rails he hung suspended in
mid-ar until the train had passed oAer
The train having passed, Mr.. Dorling
tighted himself and went home, but the
shock to his nervous system prostrated
him.

the Hon. Charles Il. Buckalew, well epit-
omizes the arguments Of tho Odolilionists,
Join us, (this is the cry) be with us,
think as we think, do as we do, forget that
you foretold these terrible evils as results
of'our policy, and secuted the warning,
forget that wo had platforms which we
have broken; forget that you were free
men before we mounted your backs, and
ruled you by DEGREES, and put youin pris-
on by telegraph, and sent YOU axgather-
ers to take your earnings, Prov. Marshals
to seize your sons for the war! Forget
all this, and hold up your hands aud bid

enemy in arms and saved of grace, not by
merit, from condign and pitilOss punish

A BRIDE WORTH HvA1No.-The Rock

riage of Miss Lucy Roller, the daughter
of wealthy farmer in that county, and
adds:
"Sho is what we call an independent
girl sure enough. Her bridal outfit was
all made with her own hands, from her
beautiful and elegant straw hat down to
the handsome CATERS on her feetl Her
own delicate hands spun and wove the
material Of which her wedding-dress and
traveling-cloak were made, so that she
had nothing upon her person when she
was married which was not made by her
self! Nor was she compelled by necessi-
ty or poverty 10 make this exhibition Of
her independence. She did it for the pur-
pose of showing to the world how indie
pendent southern girls are"

EATING HABiTs.-The most common
way to a premature grave and one Of
the shortest cuts to that destination is
down a mans throat. There is a mul.
ttude which no man can number, daily
eating immoderately, thus sapping the
constitution and laying the foundation
for innumerable ills and a too early
grave. The wise man does it, and tho
fool; the virtuous and the abandoned;
the kind and the cross, Of all climes, are
among the errorists. But there are
some who are wise as to this point, and
the number is increasing; the number Of
those who are men and women of force;
who think for themselves, observe for
themselves; who have vigor of intellect
enongh 20 compare causes and effects,
antecedents and consequents. There Is
constantly coming to us the knowledge
of mothers, who, by the teachings Of
this Journal, have been led to regulate
their households nationally, and are
reaping rich reward in the shape of
health for themselves, and what is dear.

OVER THE RIVER.

Over the river they bocken TO mo
Loved ones who've crossed to the further side
The CLEAN oftheir snowy robes see,
But their voices are drowned In the rushing
tide.
There's one with ringlets Of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection Of heavens own blue
lie crossed in the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view
Wc saw not tho an gels that met him there;
The gate of the city We could not see,
Over the river, over the river,
My brother stands waiting to welcome me
Over the river, the boatman pale
Carried another--the household pct
Her brown curls waved in the gentle gale
Darling Minnie see her yet
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fcarlcssly entered the phantom bark
We watched it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know she is safe on the other side,
Where all the rsnsomcd and angels be;
Over the river, tho mystic river,
Ny childhood's idol is waiting for mo.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale
We hear the dip Of the golden oars,
And catch glimpse Of the snowy sail,
And 10! they have passed from our yearning
hearts
They cross tho stream and are gone for aye,
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates Of day.
We only know that their barks no moro
May sail with US DER lifo's stormy sea
Yet somewhere, know, on the unseen shore,
They watch, and beckon, and wait for me.
And sit and think when tho sunsets gold
Is finishing river, and hill and shore,
shall stand one day by the water cold,
And list for the sound Of the boatman's oar;
shall watch for CLEAN of the Tapping sail,
l shall hear the boat as it nears the strand;
shall pass from sight with the boatmnn pale,
To the better shore of the spirit land;
j shall know the loved who have gone before,
And joyfully sweet shall the meeting be-
When over the river the mystic river,
The Angel Of Death shall carry mo

Duty of Patriots.

Mr., Crttenden, of Kentucky, in a
recent speech, defined the duty Of pat
riots in crisis like the present:
Neither on this nor any other occa
sion has it been my habit to make an
outcry and clamor; but when usurpa.
tions of power are made dangerous, and
when encroachments upon my liberty
and the liberty of my constituents, and
upon the Constitution intended to guard
the liberties of us all are made, would
have every man have spirit enough to
declare his opinions and offer his pro
tests. Without this freedom of speech
there can be no lasting liberty-the
Republic cannot exist. If every man
should close his lips, and not venture
even a word against violated rights,
who could maintain free Government?
A people who cannot dis
cuss the public measures of the nation,
and apply the necessary rebuke to Sc
cure correction of wrongs, cannot be
free people, and do not deserve to be.
But it is not necessary that it be dono
with passion. You are portion of the
people of the United States; act in \
manner becoming your high characteter.
Sedition does not become it; clamor
does not become it. Action, at the
proper time and in the proper manner,
according to the legal and constitutional
is whatwe want, and what
he world has right to expect.
