Rats Leaving a Sinking Sh ip,

Senator Trumbull, we learn from the Chi
cago Times, made speech in Court House
Square, in the city of Chicago, which, if made
by Democrat, would have entitled him to
be called a " Copperhead." He attributed
the bad progress of the war to the incompe-
tency Of the Administration, condemned ar.
bitrary arrests and military Suppression oi

that were distasteful to the Jacobins who

THE CONSTITUTION AS 1T Is
TIL h UNION AS 1T WAS.
BY C p. FURG!sON.

Ho! Democrats of every State,
Who love your country's laws,
Prepare ye for the conflict now
For nea, the battle draws;
And let your banner blazon forth,
The watchword of our cause
THE CONSTITUTION as it is,
The UNION as it was pa
The warning voice of Washington,
Still echoes through the land
The Constitution must be saved,
Though danger be at hand,
All violations of the Law
Should instantly be checked
Without the chart Of liberty,
Our freedom would be wrecked
Permit no Z" State necessity"
To mar its smallest part,
For 'tis tyrant's listed steel
To pierce the nations heart.
The Sage of Monticello spoke,
And warned us of the worst,
He said by sectional disputes
Our Country would be cursed,
His prophet eye beheld the North,
Against the Soath arrayed.
Ganst geographic party lines
The dying statesman prayed,
The right of each and every state
It's own affairs to rule,
The doctrine was of Jefferson,
And all since of his school.
The Hero Of the Hermit age
This sentiment expressed
The Union it must be preserved
All wrongs by law repressed;
The rights reserved by every State
Still sacred must remain;
The freedom of the press and speech,
No power should ere restrain
Whoever dares to break the law,
To trial straightway bring,
And if hig treason be his crime
Like Haman let him swing
The Constitution as ii is
We want no higher law:
Our fathers, when they made it,
The coming dangers saw,
They formed it broad enough for oil
Declared the work was good
The agis of our liberties
A bond of brotherhood,
1t covered North and South alike,
United East and West
And made our country prosperous,
Our people free and blest
Ho Democrats Of every State,
Who love your country's laws,
Prepare We for the conflict now,
Fer near the battle draws;
And let your banner hlezon forth.
The watchword of our cause
nThe CONSTITUTION as ii is,'
The UNION as it was"

Power OF ExAMPLE.-Example is living

Deeds are the fac sin,iles of the soul; they
proclaim what is within. The child notices
the life. 1t should be in harmony, with
goodness. Keen is the vision of youth ev-
cry mark is transparent. IF a word is thrown
into one balance, deed is thrown into tho

true, one is false.

A BUrTERNUT PIN.-The Vincennes (Iridl
Sun, says: ga little girl not quite three years
old, was observed by a lynx-eyed, lop-eared,
Abolition spy, out upon one of the streets of
indianapolis, few days since, who had her
dress fastened up at the neck with small
butternut pin. This Abolitionist-thinkin
this a splendid opportunity to render his
country great service, without endangering
his own precious life informed some Federal
soldiers that there was trsitor and endeav,
ored to have them take the pin away from tho
child. The soldiers were too gcntlemanly to
carry out the patriotic suggestion and refused
to do it. There are some abolitionists in
this city who are just about as mean as this
man was. They would choke an infant to
get away from it copper cent, or butter

THE POWER OF READING.

Benjamin Franklin tells US, IN one of his
letters, chat when he was boy,la little book
fell into his hands, entitled Essay to do Good
by Cotton Mather. 1t was tattered and torn
and several leaves were missing. "But the
renal indtr," Re says, gave me such q turn
of thinking as to have an influence on my
conduct through life: for have always set
greater value on the character of doer of
good than on any other kind of reputation,
and if | have been useful citizen. the pub.
lie owes all the advantages of it to the little
book"
Jeremy Bentham mentions that the cur
rent of his thoughts and studies was direct
ed for life by a single phrazc that caught his
eye at the end of a pamphlet. " The great
est good of the greatest number" There
are single sentences in the New Testament
that have awakened to spiritual life hundreds
ofmillions Of dormant souls. In things of
less moment reading has wondrous power,
Robinson Crusoe has sent to sea more
sailors than the press gang. The story about
little George Washington telling the truth
about the hatchet and the plum tree has
made many truth teller. We owe all the
Waverly novels to Scott's early reading Of
the old traditions and legends and the
whole body of pastoral fiction came from
Addison's Sketches of Sir Roger De-Coverly
in the Spectator. But illustrations are num-
berless. Tremble ye who write, and ye VIII O
publish writing. A paragraph may quench
or klnde the celestial spark in human soul
in myriads of souls.
