MOMENTS OF MELoDY.-I remember once
of strolling along the margin of stream,
in one Of those low. sheltered valleys on
Salisbury Plain, where the monks Of for
mer ages planted chapels and built her
mits' cells. There was q little parish
church near, but tall clms and quivering
aldcrs hid it from the sight. All of sud-
den, was startled by the sound of q full
organ pealing on the air, accompanied by
rustic voices, and the willing choir Of VIII
lagc maids and children. 1t rose, indeed.
"llke an exhalat;on of distilled perfumes"
The dews of thousand pastures were
gathered in its soltness the silence Of .
thousand years spoke in it. 1t came up
on the heart like the calm beauty Of
death fancy caught the sound, and faith
mounted on it to the skies. 1t filled the.
valley like mist and still poured out its
endless chant, and still it swells upon the.
ear, and wraps me in a golden trance,
drowning the noisy tumult Of the world.

Bourse Gazette, of ST. Petersburg, has the
following remarks on the progressive in
crease of the Russian Empire:
In the time of John ILL.,, that Is to
say, in the second half of the fifteenth
century, it only occupied . surface Of
80, Gv1 .,-fGA1k' miles In the veig0 of
Alexis Mikchailovich. in 1850, its extent
had already reached $4,000; under
Peter the Great, 100000; under Caths-
rine H., 335, 900 under the present reign.
$4,000 square miles. The former con-
quered part Of England, the Daghestan
.ssRd some Other Caucasian provinces, and
the country Of the Kirghises, and also
annexed to the empire Kamschatka and
some Islands Of the Pacific Ocean. The
Western province, Courtland. the rest Of
Finland, the Crimea, part Of Bessasabia
and some other Caucasian provinces,
and Georgia, were subject to the sceptra
Of the Czarina. The country Of the
Amour, an extent Of $500 square miles
has been annexed under the present
reign. The surrender Of Sachamyl paci.
fed some provinces which may conse-
quently be considered as having been
added to the Russian territory. The pop.
ulation Of the empire has increased III an
equal proportion. In 1799 it was tour
teen millions in 1908 it was thiEiy-six
millions; in 1929, tiity millions : and as
present it amounts to sixty five millions.

ICELANDIC PEAsANTM.-The Icelandic
peasantry are lazy to the last conceivable
degree, revolting!y dirty in their persons
and habits, very curiously devoid of all
notions of delicacy and propriety, thor
oughly selfish and mercenary. mo pos.
er on earth can divert an Icelander from
his accustomed ways" They think no
scenes in any country can equal in beau
ty some OF their valleys which chance to
have little green grass and few Stunted
trees. The universal mode of salutation,
at meeting and parting, is q loud kiss.
The peasant kisses the daughters of the
magistrate and they kiss him in return.
The pastor is also kissed on Sunday, after
service, by all Of his flock. In short, q
kiss in Iceland is equivalent to our hand
shaking; yet the people are all honest.
There is no prison on the Island there
are no criminals, no lock, bolts or bars,
though drunkenness is common vice.
-So~.
The Russian soldier receives $40 per
year as pay, and his rations are said to
consist solely Of black bread.
WE are never satisfied that lady un.
derstands a kiss unless we have it from
her own lips
THE young lady who took the gentle
mans fancy has returned it with thanks
MAY our blonde beauties be looked or
as forming a portion of the pale of So
cietyP
If a man is dissipated, his fortune vii
probably soon be so too.
HEwho waits for dead mems shoes may
go barefooted.
WHEN you have no observer, be watch
full over yourself.
PRIDE is flower that grows in tn
devils garden.
EVERY door may be shut but death
door.

OwrIxo Up.-At the late anniversary

OWNING UP.-At the late anniversary
meeting of the Anti Slavery Society in
New York, one Of the speakers boldly
stated that all the Loyal Leagues are Aoo'
lition Societies under q new name. 1t
needed not the testimony OF the Abolition
leader to convince the people Of this fact
The Loyal Leagues were started at the
suggestion Of Garrison, Phillips, Sumner
Wade, Greeley and other Abolition trai-
tors, for the purpose Of securing the su'
prcmacy of the Abolition party and car
rying out its principles. Every promI-
nent Abolitionist in the Atlantic States
belongs to some league. 1t is eminent'y
just and proper and in accordance with
the teachings and principles of their faith
ers, that the descendants of the Tories OF
the Revolution should organize Loyal
Leagues. Their fathers, to manifest their
loyalty to the King Of Great Britain and
;heir hatred Of free institutions, formed
Loyal Leagues, and denounced Washing
ton and his patriotic associates, who de-
clared their independence, as rebels and
traIrurS." 1ne 0rm had no terrors ior
our fathers and it has none for US. Like
theIuSwe are lighting a monstrouS dcspo'
tism and for civil liberty and like them
we haye nothing but contempt aud Scorn
for the advocates and supporters of dcs-
pOtic power aud the traducers Of the sons
Of freedom.

ExuITATrON or AN ABOLITION ORGAN

ExuLrATroN or AN ABOLITION OReAN.-
# is worthy Of note, that every coward,
every oEice.holder, every hireling Of
those in power, is barking at the heels of
Mcclellan, the pride Of the soldiers and
the only General who achieved victory
with "the army Of the Potomac" The
modest and successful General was win
ming popularity too fast for the Admins
tration, and in order to destroy his inllu.
ence, blast his reputation and remove him
from the army, the Administration or
ganiSed q war committee Of its creatures,
with the dastardly, mendacious and ve-
nal Ben Wade as its Chairman, to make
false ca.<sAs SBGA ring repOit against
him. Wade & Co., eager to serve their
masters and party, eager to protract The
war in order to give their friends end
supporters further opportunity to swim
die the Government, summoned rival
Generals and suborned tools to appear
against Mcclellan, and on their evidence,
one sided and purchased, they tried and
convicted him. II was an unequal con-
test-a band Of conspirators, traIrOrS anu
rivals, backed by those in authority, with
unlimited means and power at their dis
posal, against one man. The contest will
not be so unequal when they come before
the people for trial. 1t ill be- a verdict
in favor Of Mcclellan by an almost unani-
nous vote. His prosecutors and malign-
ers, from the highest to the lowest, will
be driven into obscurity by an indignant
and outraged people.
Hooker's disgraceful failure and defeat
are spoken of lightly by these traducers
of Mcclellan. They can find plenty OF
excuses for Hooker, the pet Of the Aholi.
tionists, the protege of Wilson and Sum
ner, and praise him for eScaping with
part of his army. Had Mcclellan been
IN command Of the army and been out
generated and defeated as badly as Hook
er, these same scoundrcls would have de-
nounced him as a coward and traitor.
The New York Times, the mouth.piece
of Stanton and Chase, although mortified
ut the failure of Hooker, yet finds graft
tication in the fact that Mcclellan is no
longer in command of the army. 1t
says:
Richmond is not yet taken, Ho 'ker
has been repulsed, the Mississippi is not
yet opened, Fort Sumter may still haunt
defiance in the faces of our gallant sailors
and soldiers, but at any rate We are rid
of Mcclellan"
