selves up as the leaders of an oppo-
sition to the National Government. II
is not within her borders that pains
have been taken by a dominant par
ty to array the people against the
Administration, whenever its acts or
it's policy have been adverse to the
wishes of the party.
Since the conflict began, New Eng
land has seen measures adopted, Off
cial charges made, and counsellors and
leaders retained or dismissed, far from
agreeable to her cherished opinions
and views as to the demands of the
crisis. But she has never been even
pettish under disappointment. What
ever may be said of her, it cannot be
said that she wavered for a moment,
or held back a dollar or man in her
devotion to the interests to the whole
country. a
Would it not be wcllfor her malign-
ers, within aud outside of her bound
aries, who with implied baseness or ar.
rogant hatred, are abusing her history
and charactar to remember this They
are endeavoring in every way within
the reach of their limited power for
mischief to hinder, embarrass and dis
credit the Administration to serve the
narrowest partizan or personal ends !;
apparently dreading nothing SO much
as the vigorous prosecution of the
war, unity at the North. and the swift
punishment of rebellion. b . aF..~ s
Can anything of such disloyalty be
found in the deeds of New England
since the conflict began? !? In her six
States, with an intelligent population
Of almost three millions of souls, moth
ing has yet been seen, in the actions
Of her citizens or her governments,
but unfinching determination to save
the republic. That is the sufficient an
swer to all the ISLANDERS against New
England, uttered at home OF abroad.

Here he got away, but was recaptur-

The night grows late /; the streets
are hushed the moonbeams deck the
deserted pavements, aud sleep strews
its slumbering poppies over the inhab-
itants of the silent city. All is at
ease save the printer who is busy at
his case.
Dreams, lovely as winged cheruLs,
hover about the repose Of man aud
maiden--visions as pure as FIRST lilies,
and beautiful as the matron aud the
child but to the printer all is reality,
toll and weariness ~
How nimbly and cheerfully does he
adjust the faithful types, as if he took
no note of time, aud as ii the duties
that are wearing out his life were
more diversion than a laborious av-
ocation. But amid their monotonous
discharge, believe us. the printer
thinks of home and sweet rest, and he
sighs for the better lot Of which others
are possessed-and yet there is no re-
pose for him, though the night tramps

Why do his motions grow less rap

whence is the smile that fingers at

gates of morning? There is gem
tie pressure at his side--an eye--blue
as violets glancinS into his own-an
accent, sweet as music, enhancing his
ear, and reaching his very heart. 1t
is but a moment-it was only reve-
rie it did not even win him from his
occupation it only caused his hand
to falter not to cease the printer
lawakes to busy toll.
Ye who receive your favorite news

over its pages, remember that it is the
fruit of toll which was active and un-
firing while you were quietly Sleep
ing that your ease and comfort are
bought with the price of weariness.
There is an electric chord, which.
being charged with sympathy, will
carry the gentle burden even to the
most distant hearts. We bespeak it's
agency in behalf Of the faithful prin-

HE COMES NO MORE.



The evening shades are falling fast
And nights sable garb Is cast
Dark shadows linger on the shore s.z..'
watch in vain, he comes no more.
I've tarried long, till set of sun,
Hoping, ere all is light was gone,
To greet him as in days of yoie,
But wait in vain, he comes no more.
A tender mothers brow grows pale,
Her buoyant strength begins to fail,
Soon will the grass lie waving DER
His mothers grave--he comes no more.
His gentle, bright-eyed'sis sighs,
As days. and weeks, and months pass by
Her heart beats wildly at each sound
That breaks the silence so profound.
Sad hearts are waiting still for him,
And loving eyes with tears are dim,
They watch in vain on life's rough shore.
To welcome him--he comes no more.

IRASBURGH, VERMONT, FRIDAY, MAY Is, 1863.

The face of Mrs. Andrews became
in ty of deep crimson. Not SEEM
ing to notice this, her friend continued.
Gas the table fell, it came within an
inch of striking another child on the head,
wi had seated himself ntbe floor. Had
it done so, a fractured skull, perhaps in
slant death, would have been the cen
sequence
Mrs. Andrews caught her breath, and
grew very pale. The other continued.
SIN the midst of the confusion that
followed, the father came home.
"'Where is your motherY he asked oi
one of the children.
"'Gone to church, was replied,

"And now, Mr.. Andrews" continued
the lady, not in the least appearing to
notice the distress and confusion Of her
over-pious friend, whom she had placed
upon the rack, "When God comes to
make up his jewels, and says to Mrs.
Eldridge, and also to this mother who
thought more of cburch-going than Of

vout religionists fall. But God sees not

and judges his creatures BY the motives
that rule them"
And, as she said this, she arose, the
silent and rebuked Mrs. Andrews, whose
own picture had been drawn, following
her down to the gay drawing rooms.

ONE ENcoURAGIEG WoRD.-An am-
bilious boy, at the age of ten years, had
become so depressed with fault-inding
and reproof, not duly mingled with en-
couraging words, that at an early age he
longed for death to take him out Of the
world, in which he conceived be had no
ability to rise. But while all thus ap'
peared so dark around bin, and he had
been so often told Of his faults and de-
ficiencies that be seemed to himself the
dullest aud worst of boys, and while none
Of his good qualities or capabilities had
been mentioned, and he believed he had
none, single word of praise and appre-
citation, carlessly dropped in his hearing,
changed bis whole course Of thought.
He was often heard to say, "that
word saved me-" The moment he tho't
he could do well. Parents and teachers,
these are important considerations.-S

GIGANTIC VEGETABLES IN CALIFOR-
NIA.-Cabbages weighing 10 pounds
are wonders in the New York market; in
San Francisco they are common. Whole
fields of cabbage heads weighing 20
pounds each have been grown; and hard
solid heads, with no loose leaves, weigh
ing 50 pounds each, are on record. One
cabbage, which did not make a head,
grew to be z feet wide, throwing out
leaves 1-2 feet long on each side. In
many cases the cabbage has been con-
verted into perennial, evergreen, tree
Ike plant, by preventing it from ever
going to seed. Several of these are
growing in the State, with stalks from
2 to six feet high, and a foliage that
grows through winter and summer. In
1857, one squash vine on the ranch of
James Simmons, in Yuba county, pro-
duced 130 squashes, weighing in all
2,604 pounds. In the same year j. Q.
A. Ballou, at San Jose, grew 2 squashes
weighing 2l0 and 204 pounds respect
lively. The largest California onion
weighed AZ ounces avoirdupois, and
measured % inches in circumference
The largest red beet weighed 48pounds,
was 8 feet long and foot in diameter.
It was three years old. The first year
1t grew to weigh As pounds, and because
of its large size was reserved for seed
but it disappointed its owner, and, in
stead of producing seed the next year,
merely kept on growing, and reached the
size of sc pounds, and the following year
got to 118. Such beets can be grown
in abundance. A beet of 20 pounds is
a wonder in New York; in California
it is too common to attract more than
glance. Beets are frequently three feet
long, so that it requires no little trouble
to dig them out California Farmer.

A SINGULAR SPECTACLE IN BATTLE.
At the battle of Stone River, while
the men were lying behind crest
waiting, a brace Of wild turkeys, so
paralyzed with fright that they we're
incapable of flying, ran between the
lines and endeavored to hide among
the men. But the frenzy among the
turkeys was not SO touching as the
exquisite fright among the birds and
rabbits. When the roar ofthe battle
reached through the cedar tbickets,
hocks of little birds filtered and
circled above the field in state of
utter bewilderment, and scores OF
rabbits fled for protection to our men
lying down in line on the left. nestl-
ing under their coats and creeping
under their legs in a state Of utter
distraction. They hoped over the
field like toads, and as perfectly tam
ed by fright as household pets. Many
officers witnessed it, remarkiDg it as
one of the most curious spectacles
ever seen upon the battle field.

FoRNEY MAKES A SPEECH.

Forney made a speech to the Phil
adelphians on the night of the elec-
tion; in which he said:
"You have declared in favor of
the entire policy of the federal admin
istration. You have declared in favor
of that much maligned and misrepre-
sented draft. You have declared in
favor of the splendid financial policy
of Mr.. Chase. You have declared in
favor of the vigorous, honest and in-
trepid management of the War De-
partment Of Mr.. Stanton. You have
declared that whether in the admin
istration of the federal government or
out of it, no man that belongs to the
Republican party shall dare to set
himselfup against the federal govern
ment, on against Tie policy Of thatpar::
fu. Whether that man be a ward
politician or cabinet officer, you
have, by this great vote Of to-day,
declared that be who is not with us is
against US.
We hope the Democrats Of this
State will use the above extract as
campaign document. Let it be
understood, therefore, that the cleo
ton of the so-called Union ticket in
this State will mean, ~
|. An endorsement of the negro
policy of the administration.
2. An approval of the Conscriptlon
three hundred dollar clause and all.
3 A preference for green-backs
and dirty postal notes over gold dol
lars and silver small change.
4. An endorsement of STANTON and
all his works.
5. That all who are not abolitionists
are traitors.
If the people of this state can stand
that platform, they must be ready to
change places with the contrabands.
