fore OFF the Northwest Passage set this
community all agog, and many were the
speCulations INDUCED in, nobody suspect
ing what ship it could be. So completely
was she disguised that not pilot nor a
man of the squadron could recognize her.
Out went the pilot with a cracking breeze,
and just before night closed we saw a
squadron of five sail standing into the
channel.
By7 o'clock curiosity was all appeased
by the announcement that the De Soto had
come off the port to send in her prizes, four
having cargoes of cotton bound to Havana,
and one assorted cargo bound into Mobile,
and was waiting off the light for the return
of her officers and men. Since then she has
been furrowing through every wave ofthe
Gulf and the Caribbean Sea, and for many
years to come her name will recall unpleas.

ton, ia suddenly unpopular, and ceases
The New York World and the Boston Cur
ier print more patriotic editorials than for
months, and call on people and soldiers to
rally to the help of the Government, and
the relief of the invaded States. The DEM
ocratic State Convention of Pennsylvania,
which was to meet at Harrisburg, on We'd
nesday, is indefinitely postponed. This
was no time to pick flaws with the Gov
eminent, and combine TO make party cap
ital out of the mistakes OF failibie men IN
preserving the Nations life. Besides, the
very place of meeting was in danger; the
delegates might become prisoners OF wal,
and not being all Vallandighams, could
not feel sure of hospitable treatment by
their captors. They could afford to run the
risk of Forts Warren or Lafayette; but the
idea of Libby was too much for even those
who believe in our misguided Southern
brothers." Gov. Seymour of New York
has interrupted his weak rhetoric and
worse sense in attempting to elevate Val
landigham's arrest into the greatest out
rage of the war, and gone earnestly to work
in supplying the Government with fresh
troops to repel the invaders. The Woods
have taken to their coverts and await the
blowing over of the storm before ventiia-
ting again their sympathy with the rebels
in public meeting and press. Such care
less followers, as venture now to sWash
their treason on the street or in bar-room,
find themselves unceremoniously knocked
down, where, a week ago, they met echo

around home on the Southern underground
railroad through Nassau under rebel gull
dance, would find cold reception should he
land among us; and were the people of
Ohio to vote to-day upon his election, what,
a few days ago, was a possible If not pro-
bable result, would fail by many thou
sands.
All this, because we realize the war. The
rebellion and it's character are not chang
ed /; only it is comprehended by those who
had not thought wisely Or truly about it
before. It comes home to their business
and bosoms. The lesson is healthy one
and in it's influence upon the public senti
ment of the North, in putting down SYM
pathy with the South and in rallying the
country around the Government, the re-
bel raid into Pennsylvania will prove of
vastly more damage to the rebellion, than

VI PUT away your lay-things, d~arlings,
And then whisper soft and low,
For poor Mama is so W airy,
And her head is aching so.
I've been thinking al day, da:fings,
ofysur Papa far away;
For the bate has been raging
F~iercely, 50 the papers say.
And my heart is fear full, d~arlings,
When so many brave ones fall,
That his precious soul has answered
Toll c dark death-apgels call.
And tits almost breaking, dRrlings,
Is Meath this heavy weight Of fear,
it seems that G eds sweet daylight
- Never, never will be here.
Do not weep and tremble, darlings,
1t was wrong to darken SO
All your bright and blessed sunshine,
With this dreary cloud OF woe.
Let US kneel and pray now, darllngs,
while our tears in silence fall.)
To the tender-loving Jesus,
Who doth know our sorrows all
And who careth for US, darlings,
Though his ha nd we cannot see
And our trembling prayers who h%eareth,
Faint and humble though they be.
Let US plead with Jesus, darlings,
For the dear one that we love;
That His kind and tender mercies
May fall round him from above;
That If God but will it, d~arlings,
All our saddened he carts may be
Filled with Joy, and hope, and g~ladness,
That our abse Mt one we see
That our home SO lonely, darlings,
May be hlled with blessed light,
And the chair no longer vacant,
Once mere greet our willing sight.
The battle is ended, darlings,
The fearful struggle is DER;
And the names are in the paper
OF those who will fight no more.
Hooked them all over, darlings,
All over with tear dimmed eyes,
And read with each name a heart-break,
A sorrow that never dies.
We prayed last night, you know, darlings,
That the tender, strong right arm
Of God might circle cur loved one,
And keep him free from harm.
And we murmured softly, d~arlines,
As God wills, so let it be.
Well, our prayers are answered, d~arlings,
And he is forever free.
His chair is still vacant, darlings,
Our home is lonely and sad,
And the dear light of his presence
viii never more make it glad.
Let US kneel and pray now, darling3,
IT'S all hearts broken can do,
And ask the angel that took him,
To find a home for US, too.

Longevity.

One of the most remarkable circum-
stances attending the fortunes of the
signers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence was the tranquility in which their
after lives were passed, and the late pc
riod to which they were proiracted.
Most of them lived to good old age,
crowned with civil honors bestowed by
the gratitude Of the republic, and some
of them perished by the mere decay Of
the powers Of nature. OF the lif.y-six
who affixed their signatures TO that doc =
ument, twenty seven lived TO an age ex-
ceeding seventy years, aud forty TO an
age Of sixty. Only two Of the whole
number, Gwinnstt, of Georgia, who fell
in duel in his forty-iifth year, and
Lynch, Of South Carolina, who was ship
wrecked in his sixtieth year, died a vio-
lent death. Twenty-one lived to The
beginning Of the present century, and
three were permitted 70 see the great
experiment of representative con-
federacy confirmed by the events Of
fifty years. OF all the delegates from
New York and New England, only one,
Whipple, of New Hampshire, died at an
earlier age than sixty.
