All houses wherein have lived and died,
Are haunted houses. Through the open doors
Tho harmless phantoms their errsnds glide,
with feet that make no noise upon the hoors.
We meet them at the doorway. on the stair,
Along the passages they come and so;
Impalpabfe Impressions the air
sense Of something moving to and fro
There are more gnests At table than the hosts
Invited. the iIiaminated hall
IL thronged with quiet. inonensive ghosts,
As silent ~ the pictures on the wall.
The stranger at my nreside can not see
The form see hear the sounds I hsir;
uo but psrceives what 10: while unto me
All that has been 10 visible and clear.
We have no titie-deeds TO house or lands;
Owners and occupants Of earlier dates
From graves forgotten stretch their dusty hands,
And hoid In mortmafn stiff their old estates,
The spirit world aroa nd this world Of sense
Floats like an atmosphere, and every where
watts through these earthly mists and vapors dens
vital breath Of more ethereal air.
Our Httle lives kept In squipoiss
BY opposite attractions and desires;
The struggle Of the instinct that enjoys.
And the more noble instinct that aspires.
The perturbations, the perpetual Jar
or earthly wants. and aspirations high.
Come fro m the influence OF that unseen star,
That undiscovered planet In our sky.
And - the noon, Ron soms dark gate Of cloud,
Throws e'er the ssA . floating bridge OF light,
Across whose trembling blank our fancies cPowi,
Into the realms of mystery and night;
80 from the world Of spirits there desosnds
A bridge OF light. connecting It with this.
Ger whose unsteady floor, that sways aud bends,
Wander thoughts above the dark abyss.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says of Vallan-
digham's late sesesh" speech, as follows
g 1t is speech which would add to the
fame OF Clay, or a Webster, or a Burke,
or Chatham. In style, it is worthy of
McCaaiey's finest comp ,sition.''
Who could have dreamed that Ohio had
produced such marvel as the Enquirer has
discovered in Vallscdigham
We quote two or three sentiments from
that speech which would add to the fame
of Clay or Webster. from which speci-
mers the reader, can judge of the whole
effort
Valandigham said !:
In my deliberate judgment, African
slavery. as an institution. will come out of
this conflict ffty fold stronger than when
the war began"
Again, hear his views Of the peculiar
institution"
" African slavery has been. and is. emi-

political equality of the white race every

English order If nobility, and leaves every
white man, North and South. owning slaves

We find the following in the Indianapolis
Journal Of February 4, which shows forth
the opinions entertained by our Indiana

Of the authority Of the Government. of the

by such Copperhead scoundrels as Vall.n-

the Journal

Adventures of Captain Carpenter

The following are some Of the exploits OF
Captain Carpenter, the commander Of the
"Jessis Scouts :"
After the battle Of Antietam I rode from
our side over into Virginia. and entirely
around the rebel lines. past their posts and
temporary depots. recrossed the Potomac,
rode into our lines, and clear up to hesdquar-
ters. and never was stopped or asked ques
tion by any body on either side. 1t is not
difficult to d.. Alter Antietam saw on
the battle field, riding arouul. more than a
hundred men whom | knew to be rebel
Virginians, who had crossed over, passed
easily within our lines, and rode about un.
questioned. looking probably for relatives
and friends smong the rebel dead.
WHAT ARE scoursl
A scout is a man who finds out how far
the enemy's pickets extend. the position and
strength Of the enemy. and also ascertains
such general facts rs may be useful in the
conduct of the war. There are no rules for
the operations OF scouts; they are generally
independent. and have little if any orgsni
saiion; they are. in fact. spies. You cannot
call "us fellows" anything less than spies.
but scout is a more respectable name
Scouts are armed. and either fight or sur.
render, aocording to the chances. | have
often been asked what was the business of
q scout; and the best answer l ever gave
was. that il is his business to find out other
mems business. When captured, however,
he is treated as spy. unless he is in uniform
