The Loyal League DeiusiOn.

One of the most sensible suggestions
made at the Loyal League meeting yes.
terday was that contained in letter
from General Sickles After pointing
out the fact that of the regiments which
the State of New York contributed to
the army in the spring of 1861, for two
years, thirty eight will soon leave the
service, he recommend that the LOYAL
League, which has extensive ramifics-
tons throughout the State, should use
its exertlons and influence to restore to
the service the experienced soldiers
composing these regiments
Will the recommendation he acted
upon u We fear not. 1t subjects To
too positive test the patriotic energies

witness John Van Buren's ground and

with Richard O'Gornian's brilliant but
transcendeutal perorations But as to
the contemplation of anything practical
10 furtherance of their ostensible object
Of aiding to put down the rebellion, we
do not believe that one out Of a hundred
who attend these meetings has any idea
~ the sort. The very title of the or.

There are no disloyal people to bc found

Every household, every community, is

goods to the government at fair prices
is not robbery; but the investigations
already made, show that there are men

continuing their foul practices today.
These are the men who ruin US. Their
crimes cause delay, failure, disaster, and
national destruction To them we owe

So Niptuno who knew her,

In ordher to WOO her, the wicked old Jew!
An he very nigh caught her
Atop iv the water, .....
Great Jupithers daughter, who cried "Poo-ta-!oo =
But Jove, the great Joyous,
Looked down an saw Vaynus
An Niptune so haynous purshun her wild,
So he roared out in tuudher
He'd tare him nsundher.
An shure twas no wonder, for taxing his child.
So a shtar that was ayin'

Tree Wounds.

Young anc vigorous trees, when in.
jured or wounded, soon begin TO heal
of themselves, and in time the wound rs
healed or covered over by successive
layers of albernum that each year forms
and converts into wood. Ycrv many
of these wounds, no ever, will heal over
a great deal quicker if little care bs
taken IN cutting away any dead wood
or projecting splnters, aud covering the
wounded part by some composition
such "a grating clay or grating wax,
or with plaster of mortar made of
slack ed lime, sand and pulverized burnt
bones, or even plaster Of hydraulic
lime.
Any one who passes through an orch.
ard that has been subject to the CON-
mon tomahawk pruning will learn
good many lessons of nature in regard
to her efforts to heal up and over the
wounds that have been inflicted Yol
will see where limb has been cut down
smoothly or level, or even with the
body from which it is started, nature,
in year or two, has closed up, leav-
ing en.y neat, compact cicatrix. But
where stump has been left sticking out
two or three inches, you will SEQ the
efforts of nature have been, in one sense
thwarted. The end of the sunp still
