Beechere idea Of a Puritan.

Henry Ward Beecher, in a recent lee
ture, gives the following description of 8
Puritan
Naturalists tell Us that every species of
plant has its own insect, aud every animal
its own parasite. There seems 10 have
been something created TO live on the shore
of New England; and that animal was
called a Puritan Laughter and applause. }
Purtans are not described in books of nat
ural history, so far as | have consulted
them but they have been largely de-
scribed in political speeches and political
newspapers; and if we may believe them
and if we may not believe political speech
es and political newspapers, what shall we
believe ?-the Puritan is a tough. gaunt,
wiry creature, devoid of taste and of all
the finer affections, and excessively en-
dowed with holy combativeness. He is AL
ways to be seen, they tell us, when at lei
sure, with his eyes rolled up, and sancti.
monious face; and whenever his eyes arc
turned down it is to find fault or money, as
the case may be. He regards all men as
wrong but himself, aad his business is to
make men right. Therefore, he is regard
ed as the moral tinker of the universe, and
is ever mending rips in conduct or putting
patches upon morals. Like a sea bird, al
ways upon the wing, he is restless and go
ing, never so happy as in storm This
creature infests the whole western hemis-
phere, and is regarded as the author of
more radcalisms and fanaticisms, excite
ments and agitations than all the rest of
the population put together. No other
creature could live in New England; for he
is tougher than the stones, dryer than the
sand, more obstinate, than the seasons In
deed, we are told by naturalsts that within
the last $50 years the winters there have
grown sensibly milder. Even the winters
could not stand the continued bullying OF
the Puritan
Within one hundred years there have
been a great many nuisances introduced up
on this continent the Hessian fly, weeyils,
curculios, weeds, and among them the
Canada thistle, the very Yankee Of botany,
vigorous prolific thriving, with million of
seeds, and every seed sure, and growing
ten times faster when you cut it by the
roots than when you let it alone. But
among all the annoyances none has been so
much deplored as the Yankee Puritan. He
is the plague of the continent. lie goes ev-
erywhere, engages in everything, and is al
ways and everywhere the same prying,
teasing, impertiuent, meddliug, irritating
creature that he was in England, and seems
likely to be TO the end Of the world. No
creature ever lived with such rare qualities
Of making people angry with him Dispu-
tations in theology, an agitator in political
matters, fault finding in moral and social
reforms, he is forever Prying up mems
houses to see if they do not need new foun-
dations

The Difference.

The Louisville Journal very clearly sets
forth the position of the two parties in
Kentucky in the following paragraph
"The misdeeds of the administration the
Union party and the secession party both
condemn. The Union party condemns
those misdeeds with a resolution far deeper
and more earnest than that with which the
secession party condemns them. Every
member of the Union ticket is pledged stren-
uously to oppose them within the sphere of
his lawful power; and the pledge will be
faithfully redeemed While, however, the
Union party and the secession party agree
in cOndemning the misdeeds OF the admin
istratiOn, the two parties do not agree in
the manner of correcting those misdeeds
or rather, in the manner of dealing with
them, for the secession party cannot be
Justly said to intend their correction at all
The Union party holds that the first and
most imperative step is to maintain the
government and that the next step is to
elect conservative men to Congress, TO elect
a conservative President, to direct public
opinion with the utmost energy toward the
same general end, and, in a word, to do ev-
cry thing that can be done under the forms
of the government TO correct the admins
tration's misdeeds at the very earliest pos
sible hour In short, the Union party
would correct the administration by main
tanning the government, and by aiding in
all legitimate ways to put ii in the hands
of the conservatives of the country. Such
is the position of the Union party. The
secession party on the contrary, holds that
the first and most imperative step is to
withhold supplies from the government,
thereby placing it at the mercy of the re-
bellion and, as this step would insure the
triumph of the rebellion, there would be no
room for any further step. The first step in
the secession programme would be the last.
In Short the secession party would correct
the administration by destroying the gov
ernment. There is no form in which the
secession platform eau be fully stated which
does not logically come to this result Such
is the position of the secession party"

RATHER MIsUNDERsTANDING Mr..
Pilkinston, small farmer in Pennsylvania,
was sometime ago drafted for the service of
his conntry. His wife, though she pos
sessed but a small stock Of general inform

and she was much troubled at the thought
of parting with her husband AS she was
engaged in scrubbing Of her door steps,
rough looking stranger came up. and thus

"Well, ma am, I've come to offer myself

"a what?' asked Mrs. Pilkinston, with
some excitement
'Tm willing to take his place. said The
stranger.
''You take the place of my husband, You

cried Mrs Pilkinston, as she discharged
the dirty soap suds in the face Of the dis

took to his heels just in time to escape hav-

THE INSANE IDEA OF A NEW UNION.
The proposition to change the Consti-
tuition and form new Union, after the pat
tern cut out by Wendell Phillips, Greeley
& Co., is gradually taking definite and
tangible shape 1t is substantially the po-
sition of John Brough and his supporters
in Ohio Brough declares in his public
speeches, that the Union must never be re-
stored With slavery in it as heretofore
What, then, remains but to remodel the
old or form a new Constitution, and dis
solve the old Union and go to work the
best way we can to manufacture a pew Re
public out of the ruins and fragments of
the old
Are politicians and members Of the Cab
met crazy, that they dare harbor such a
proposition? ? Have John Brough and his
political associates gone stark mad, that
they dare think of persuading the people
that the war must be prosecuted for such
an end as this 1t is not what our soldiers
went into the field to fight for, and they
never will fight for such purpose. 1t is
idle to dream Of it. The dead have fallen
and the living are fighting, or are ready
to fight, for the maintenance of the old
Constitution, and the restoration and pres
ervation Of the old Union, but never, new
er for new one formed to suit the Aboli-
tion fanatics, who helped the secessionsts
to involve the country in this desolating
and bloody war. The crazy demagogues
may as we'll be made to understand this
first as ast.-Ohio Statesman

GER IN THE WAR.-The New York World
publishes the following extract from a let
ter recently written by Ex-Presidsnt Fill
more: Enough of treason ard blood have
already been shed upon the negro question.
| am fully pursuaded that the unwise and
untimely agitation Of this subject gives
strength to the rebellion, and will cost mil
lions of dollars and thousands of lives
and that there is no hope for anything else
but to restore the Union as it was and the
Constitution as it is. That all efforts for
anything else, must end in abortion, anarchy

The Old Barn at Home.
BY GEORGE COOPER.

oh. the old barn at home,
Underneath whose gray caves
Flocks of gray swallows built,
And where lay golden sheayes,
Where played when boy
Through the bright livelOng day,
Comes in dreams to me now
Though I'm far, far away.
On its floor gathered round,
At The Moons sultry gleY,
Raddy cheeks, hardy hasds,
All that health could bestoW-
While the song and the dance,
And the old fddle's tone,
Drove away every care
Till the pOontide had flown.
In the proud city's whirl,
Where the mad crowd runs on,
Where the races for place
And for power are won,
Oft my thoughts wander back
To the old barn at home,
With its wide open doors
And its straw mantled dome.
And tear oft will fall
That I cannot restrain,
As l long to look ON
Its rough timbers again
On the bins heaped with grain,
On the smooth, cleanly floor,
That are lost but in dreams
To my gaze eyermore!

ENoRMoUs FRAUDS UPON THE Gov
ERNMENT.-At Harrisburg (Pa.) consid-
erable excitement has been created by the
discovery of enormous frauds upon the
Government during the recent army move
ments in that region, consequent on the
rebel foray. The amounts are stated at
millions of dollars. A number Of promi-
nent State politicians have been placed un-
der arrest, and the subject will receive the
most searching investigation by the War
Department. The most corrupt practices
have prevailed in horse contracts and in
clothing and subsistence supplies. They
throw the "shoddy' operators at Harris.
