have protected are romtted to their natural rights
This is the signifcA alton and bearing OF the muon
quoted maxim Nothing more and nothing else
Milo may kill his assailant Notwithstanding the
statute against homicide, and the disselzed Tree
holder recover his land Notwithstanding the statutes
of limitation
The truth of this Interpretation is rendered sun
more clear upon further examination OF the text
of Coke, for he says
"And the trial hereof H. whether it was Tune OF war
peace is by the records, and judges OF the courts VI
justice. for by them will appear whether justice hau ne
equal course of proceedings that time or no. ana inns
shall not be tried by jury"
And, in support of this view, he quotes 'ne
uncouth "law Latin" of the elder authorities
''Utrun terra sit guerrina me- naturalter deoet
udicar per recorda regis ct eorum qu curas regis per
egem custodunt ct gubernant sed non ato moao
That is to say, whether there be war in the land,
and the laws be SILENT must be tried by the records
and IN no other manner and if they show that the
courts are open, and that justice has her equal
course of proceeding, the laws are not silent, but
there is peace within the jurisdiction of those courts
The application of these principles toquestions OF
current interest among us at the present day will
be apparent to every intelligent reader. twill be
seen, in the light of this exposition, how restricted
is the scope of the maxim designated, and how it
is wrested from its true historical and logical sig
nfcance when it is pressed into the service of such
military assumptions as would interrupt the regu-
lar course of the laws where there is no clash OF
to drown their voice. There is no cover under
this maxim for any such Irregularities exception the
midst of arms when the fact of violence displaces
the regular course of the law but this fact cannot
be pleaded beyond the limits within which it
exists. If it appear from the records that the
administration of the laws has continued unim
paired in the Federal Courts of Massachusetts,,
the war in South Carolina cannot avail to stop
the regular course of justice in the former State
where all offences against the United States
should be tried in the manner and by the statutes
made and provided for such cases.

HOME FROM THE W ARS.

"Thsrsll be bitin' black frost on the
hills Tonight, I tell ye!" said Moses At
tsrly, as he threw an armfull Of oak logs,
fringed with silvsry gray moss, upon the
hearth, and rubbed his hands cheerlly be-
fore the red, roaring blaze tnat encircled
the rude iron fire-dogs in drifts of ruby
sparks.
He was tall, wiry-looking old man, with
mild hazel eyes, and skin we'll nigh as
brown as the basket of buttsrnuts that
stood in the corner-a man whom you might
easily fancy to have grown up among those
rock bound, wind-swept wlderncsses, as
one of the giant pines on the steep cliffs
ubove had grown-stalwart, sturdy, aud
true to the very hearts core. The room
was very plain, with no curtains at the mar
row paned windows, and no carpet save
the odd zigzag veins in the hickory boards
that formed the floor; yet there was an air
of comfort in the splint-bottomed chairs,
with their moreen cushions, and the round
table, neatly spread for the vsning meal.
Over the fire, IAN apoplectic black tea-kettie
kept up dreamy song, and Moses Atterly's
only child sat, with folded hands, in the
CHI hlmneY corner, watching the vaporous
wreaths curling from the spout-a pretty,
soft t-eyd girl, with late rose in her bralds
of glosy chestnut brown hair, and straight,
clearly cut features-now in shadow, now
all irradiated by the capricious torches OF
fame that played at hide and.seek in and
out among the crevices of the great bub-
bling, singing logs.
"Have you been to the post-otfice to-
night, father?" said she, suddenly looking
up az Moses gave the smoulderipg backlog
a sort of remonstrating hick.
NO but met Jim Grayling down by
the hemlock hollow, and he said he was
goin' straight there so / told him to ask
if thare was anything for our folks. He'll
be here directly, calculate, for it must be
all of two hours ago"
~ am sorry" said Bessie. almost petu
lantly. "Father, detest the very sight OF
that mau J"
"My daughter ! demonstrated Moses,
"that amt accordin to either sense or Cos
pei"
"Well, can't help it, fatheo," coaxed
Bessie, stealing her soft, dimpled hand into
the rough palm that lay on Moses After
ly's knee. "He always seemed to me
like"
She stopped suddenly-so suddenly that
the late rose fell off her hair and lay on the
stone hearth-for, as she tsrned her head,
she saw James Grayling standing beside
them, unfolding a coarse white and red
worsted comforter from about his neck. He
stopped, without word, and picked up the
rose for her.
"Why Jimm said Farmer Attsrly. "where
on airth did you drop from didn't hear

"Didu't "a? 1 am sure knocked loud
enough" said Grayling, with deep red
flush slowly fading away from his cheek
"Pretty well to night, Bessie?
"Tm we'll enough" pouted Bessie, with
out looking at him, and tossing her reco-
versd rose in among the glowing cinders-
Somehow it had lost its charm after having
lain in James Grayling's land sec

DIR u, llows' Thanksgiving Sermon.
DR.. Bellows has astonished his friends by
a Thanksgiving sermon in which, if those
who heard him are not greatly mistaken, be
has unsaid nearly all that he has been say
ing for the last two years on the subject OF
our national politics. 10 that discourse
which was repeated last Sunday evening;
in Brooklyn-by particular request, it is
said-wc hear he took ground in favor of
gradual emancipation of the slaves in those
States in which the Presidents proclama
ton has declared them free; that is to say,
a virtual revocation of the proclamation;
that he denounced what he called a radical
or New England policy which would make
an immediate end of the rebellion, and that
he declared himself in favor of the expec-
tant policy of carrying on the war, approx
ed by General Mcclellan, Of whom he spoke
as a very ill.used man. The sermon seems
to have given great delight to the copper
heads, and to have displeased the rest of his
hearers. We hope it will be printed, for
we should like to see and perhaps examine
the reasons which have moved this emf
nent pulpit orator to take SO unexpected
lurch to the wrong side at time when the
convictions not only of the thoughtful few,
but of the people at large, have, from the
force of recent circumstances, received
decidedly opposite direction
The "thoughtful few" are very few, but
they bully the "thoughtfnl many" into obe-
dience by their noise and passion.

KNITTING THE SOCKS.

The following lines were found in bur
le of socks; sent by "Lively Old Lady,
/ Amherst, N. H., to the U. S. Hospita
,rner of Broad and Cherry streets, Phils
alpha ea-
By the hrsside costly seated, r..-. ..
With spectacles riding her nose,
The lively old lady Is knitting -4.
A wonderful pair of hose.
She pities the shivering soldier,
Who is out in the pelting storm;
And busily plies her needles,
To keep him hearty and warm.
Her eyes are reading thelembers,
But her heart Is Of to the war,
For she knows what those brave fellows
Are gallantlv fighting for,
Her fingers as well as her fancy,
Are cheering them on their way;
Who under the good old banner,
Are saving their country to-day
She ponders how in her childhood,
Her grandmother used to tell
The story Of barefoot soldiers,
Who fought SO long and wel.s
And the men Of the Revolution,
Are nearer to her than US;
And that perhaps is the reason
Why she isItoilins thus.
She cannot shoulder musket,
Nor ride with Cavalry crew,
But nevertheless she Is ready
To work for the boys who do.
And yet in CONCEAL Dispatches"
That come from the Army or Fleet,
Her feats may have never a notice,
Though ever 30 mighty the festf
So prithee, proud owner of muscle,
Or purse proud owner Of stocks,
Don't snesr at the labors OF woman,
Or smile at the bundle Of socks.
Her heart may be larger and Drawer
Than his who is tallest of all,
The work of her hand az important,
..., AS cash that buys powder an all.
And thus while her quiet perfs rmance,
IL being recorded in rhyme,
The tools in her tremulous fingers
Are running race with time.
Strange that four needles can form
A perfect triangular bound
And equally strange that their antics
RssultIiniperfscting the round,
And nowlwhils beginning ''to narrow"
She thinks Of the Maryland mud,
And wonders il ever the stocking
Will wade to the ankle in blood.
And now she IL ''shaping the heel,
And now she is ready "to bind"
And hopes if the soldier is wounded,
II viii never be from behind.
And now sha i, s.raising the instsp,"i
Now snarrowing of at the tos,"
And prays that this end Of the worsted
May never bs turned to the foe.
She gathers the last of the stitches,
A. II Q new laurel were won,
And placing the ball in the basket
Announces the stocking as "dons."
Ys men who are fghting1our battles
Away from tho comforts of life,
Who thoughtfully muse by your camp-hres,
On sweetheart, or sister, or wife.
Just think of their elders a little,
And pray for the grandmothers too,
Who, patiently sitting in corners,
Are knitting the stockings for you.
