Replied the black man. Butler spoke more low,
But cheerily still and said, " As am Ben,
You'll not have cause to tell me that again!''

And showed the names whom love of Freedom blessed

NAKED ARMS AND LEGs.-A distinguishep
physician who died some years since in Paris, de-
c!ared " | believe that during the twentysix
years have practiced my profession in this city,
twenty thousand children have been carried To
the cemeteries, a sacrifice to the absurd custom
of exposing their arms naked"
have often thought If mother were anxious
TO show the soft, white skin of her baby and
would cut roud hole in the l.;te things dress,
Just over the heart and then carry It about for OBJ
servation by the company,it would do very little
harm. But to expose the baby arms, members
so far removed from the heart, and with such
feeble circulation at best, it is most pernlcious
practice.
Put the bulb OF thermometer in babyS
mouth, and the mercury rises 20 80 degrees
Now carry the same to its little hand if the
arms be bare and the evening De cool, the mer-
curry will sink to 40 degrees. OF course, all the
blood which flows through those arms must fall
to within 80 or 40 degrees below the temperature
Of the heart.
Need say, when these currents Of blood flow
back into the chest, the child's general vitality
must be more or less compromised
And need | add that We ought not to be sur
prised at its frequent recurring affections OF the
tongue, thro}t or stomach | have seen more
than one child with habitual cough and hoarse-
ness, or choking with mucus, entirely or perma-
nenty relieved by simply keeping its hands and
arms warm. Every observing and progressive
physician has daily opportunity to witness the
same cure.-- Le,Cjs Gymnastics.

The President has done the same thing 10 MS
messages and other public declarations. lrefralh'
therefore, from reviewing that argument IN con-
nection with the existing question M. Drouyh
de l. iIuyS draws to his aid the conferences whlch
took place between the colonies and Great Brit
ain in the other revolutionary war. lie Will ailo"
me to answer, that action in the crisis OF nation
must accord with It's necessities and therefore can
be seldom confined to precsdents. Great Britain,
when en- ering on that negotiation, had manifest
" come to entertain doubts of her Ultimate sue
cess, and it is certain that the councils OF the
Colonies could not have failed to take new cour-
age, If not TO gain other advantage, when the pa
rent State ompronised so far as to treat OF peace
on the terms of conceding their independence
1t is rue, indeed, that peace must come some
time, and that conferences must be attended II
they are not allowed to precede the qachcatlen.
There is, however, a better form for such con-
terences that the one which NJ. Drouyn de
L'Huys suggests. The latter would be palpably
in derogaton of the Constitution of the United
States, and would carry no weight because destI.
TUE of the sanction necessary to bind 1t, either
to the loyal or disoyal portion of the people. On
the other hand the Congress OF the United States
furnishes constitutional forum Tor debates De-
tween the aIt mated parties Senators and Rep
reseptatiyes IRON the loyal people are there al
ready, fully empowered to confer, and the seats
are also vacant inviting the Senator'S and Repre-
sentatives OF the diScontented party who may be
conslitutonaIIy sent there from the States iuvo-
we'd in the lnSurrecion. More yer, the conferences
which Can be held in Congress have this reat adj
vantage over any that could BE- organized en- the
plan OF NJ. Drouyne de LHuys, viz that Con-
gresS, if it thought wise, could call a National
Convention TO adopt its recommendations, and
give them al! the Solemnity aud binding force OF
organic law. Such con eyences between the
alienatd parties may be said to have already be
gun. Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee
and MissourI.-States which are claimed to be
nsurgent-are already represented in Congress-
and are submitted with perfect freedom, and in a
proper spirit, to their advice upon the course best
calculated TO bring about 10 the shortest time, d
firm, lasting and honorable peace. Representa-
tves have been sent from Louisiana, and others are
understood to be coming from Arkansas
There Is prepon1orating argument IN favor Of
which is suggested by NJ. de L'Huys, viz a: that
while accession to the latter would bring the
Government il to concurrence with the insurgents
in disregarding and setting aside an important
part OF the Constitution of the United States and
so would be of perncious example, the Congress
slenal conference, on the contrary, preserves and
gives new strength to that sacred instrument,
which must continue through future ages, the
sheet anchor of the Republic.

Bedford One winter not long ago, when we
were there, we found long street refused to
horse-vehicles, and set apart to sleds. The Sc
lectmen or whatever their names were, at the
public expense carted snow on where the track
was worn; iced it by water thrown ON over
night; stationed a band of music there had
torches lit and placed along the sides and the
generous people, catching the spirit, lliumned
their houses, and this preparation was then
thrown open to men, women and children. That
city was civilized That part of the millennium
which consists in sliding down hill we believe

BRlGADjER OF THE lsT VI. BRIGADE-The

BRIGADtER OF THE lsT VI. BRIGADE-The
Bennington Banner says:
Capt. Ayers of the regular army has been
given the command of the First Vt. Brigade
The field officers of the brigade asked that this
position be gwen to the gallant Captain, he
having been in command of battery connected
with the brigade, from its organization till his
appointment as Chief Of Artillery of General
Smiths corps, and subsequently of Franklin s
Grand Division, during which time the brigade
and Captain Ayers have been together on near
a score OF battIe-6elds. Gen. Ayers knows his
men. and the men know their commander, as
soldiers learn to know each other IN the faithful
performance of their DIT ties Gen. A. was in
the Mexican war, and at the first Boil Run COM
manded his battery CALAMITY, earning higl en-
comums, and bringing from the field bis guns
and horses-a result accomplished by no other
battery commander on that field Of disaster.
At ADtietam, during the battle, Cen. Mcclellan
asked, Capt Ayers, can your batteries cross
