Thoughts by the waz-sida.

There are but few persons of q purely
sensitive nature, who have not at some
period of their lives felt that influence which
is often caused by little word, look, or
even an attitude under certain relations OF
thought or ardor of feeling There are truly
MON ents when the spirit as if subdued by
some mighty spell, receives impressions,
which, in a less guarded hour would have
been treated with Indifference, while objects
upon which you had looked a thousand
times regardlessly, will suddenly attract as
if by resistless and fascinating power
Have you not also thought there was time
when not even the muImur of wind or wave
could intrude to disturb each pleasant
reverie?-and yet that strain was often
doubtless heard amid the busy world when
it scarcely found responsive echo in your
heart, or when you failed to appreciate its
otherwise enchanting voice! We have all
indeed experienced those imsginipgs and
looked upon forms which appeared as the
realized creation of a beautiful dream,
whose light was brilliant for moment then
fed forever! But amid all that we know
of earth, if there is a power which words
cannot express, it is in the last look Of those
we love when the eyes grow dim and the
spirit is about to take its fight. Sad yet
eloquent is the sigh we offer over the pallid
form as it futters between time and eternity,
thus casting where once was sunny smile
its solemn gloom upon our minds.

aster. But rothing except such retrieval
can now save Hooker. And meanwhile there
is an old lesson he will not fail in all bitter
ness of personal experiences to learn: "Let
not him that putteth on his armor boast as
he that putteth it OFF,
? As close, there come stories that the
army is in better condition than had been
expected; that it has bsen found that the
rebels Jared much worse than we, as was
natural, since they were always the attack
ing party. that they have retreated to Cor
louisville, and that Hooker is already up
and after them. Ifsit be true, our reverse
will be gloriously temporary.
1t is hin ted, too, in high quarters, that re
crossing the river was not wholly matter
of conpulsion; that other ends may be at
tanned thereby, and that the army, abund-
antly satisfied with its success in the fight
ing SO far, is in spirits for any thing its com
manGers may order.
On the whole, therefore, it seems safe and
honest to acknowledge that we have met 9
repulse, while we are not without good
hopes that it may soon be nobly retrieved
But whether in the next few days we, con-
vert retreat into victory or not, there is nc
reason for dependency. We may make
mistakes by the way, that shall delay our
progress, but through honest fighting the
end IS sure. AGATE.

The following fattering notice is taken
from the Portsmouth (Ohio) Scioto Valley
Republican, of April 3, 1855
SCANDINAvIA.-Afr friend writes to US for
our "real opinion of DR.. Roback's Scandi-
navian Remedies, where he can obtain
them-and why they are called "Scandi-
navia," and we are frequently asked the
same questions. Scandinavia is the ancient
name of Sweden and Norway, and Scandi-
navian, that is a Swede or Norwegian, af-
fectionately calls his country "Scandinavia,"
in the same sense as we speak of"Oolum bia,"
or 'The Union. By the way, there are over
nine thou sand scandinavian families in Dane
County, Wisconsin. Although citizen of
this country for many years, DR.. Roback is
a Swede by birth, and compounds his Medi-
cines of Swedish herbs. we think the name
is very appropriate. We have the very
highest opinion of the Medicines, and of DR..
Roback himsels, who isnot only a singular.
ly skillful physician, but gentleman of the
Old School, as we know personally. Our
columns will answer the rest
of our friends letter. See advertisement.

"When this cruel war is oveF.n

In the words ofthat besutiful ballad, one
which will ever appeal in tones of touching
tenderness to every true and trusting heart,
"when this cruel war is over" who shall
then attempt to describe the sorrow and the
gloom which no0 like dark pail continues
to wrap its mantle around rs, or paint in
faithful colors, the desolate appearance of
many homes that were once so joyous and
so free? Imagination must stand appalled,
at the bare contemplation of each harrow
ing scene, while memory will be forced to
weep in silence over the graves Of the gall
liant dead whose all was freely offered upon
the altar of one common though divided
country, no matter how widely each warrior
may have differed upon the tented field, or
how bitter the animosity which swayed and
fred each eager soul!
It is all we'll enough to speculate upon
dawn of peace and hope for an amicable
and no less speedy adjustment Of our nation
al difficulties, but does it not often seem as
if the breach in our national fellowship is
destined to grow wider and greater with the
march of time, while manly tears are falling
to mingle with those of woman's love?-
When the last act is over, how shoreless
will be the gulf that then will surely roll
between friend and foe-how terrible will
be the sequel of private wrong; and though
Columbia has struggled to prove that she
was still the "homs of the brave" the query
comes back to every hearts she still the
Gland of the free?b'

NEW VERSION OF OLD DAN TUCKER -
One Daniel Tucker, of Lexington, Mo-, a
disciple of Cla;b jackson and Sterling
Price, lately hid lot of powder in an old
cooking stove. Shortly after Mrs. Daniel
Tucker built fire in the stove aforesaid
for the purpose of preparing their evening
meal. The consequence was, there was an
explosion in the Tucker household. Mrs.
Tucker was capsized, Miss Tucker was
blown quite through the walls oft house,
while old Dan, Lot needing the warning of
the song to "get out of the way" was so
jammed into the Jam of the chimney that
he was extricated with great difficulty. Suf
fee it to say none of the Tucker family
were killed or seriously injured; bnt they
were all very late looming to supper" '

&Ths following advice to the people

@The following advice to the people
we clip from a copy of the Farewell Ad-
dress of the "Father of his Country" The
warning voice of the greatest patriot the
world sverproduced, should bc hearkeued to:
Indignantly frown upon the first dawn
icg of every attempt to ALLEVIATE any portion
of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble
the sacred ties which now link together the
various parts. .
The Constitution which at any time ex-
lists. till changed by an explicit and auth en-
tic act of the people, is sacredly obligatory
upon all.
Resist with care the spirit of innovation
upon its principles. however specious the
pretext. G.
The spirit of encroachm ent tends to con-
solidate the powers of all departments in one
and thus create, whatever form of govern
rn,nt real despotism.
Let there be no change By ,surpat ion; for
though this in one instance may be the in
strumsn of good. it is the customary ,Oeapon
by which free government is destroyed"

AN Honest CONFESSION THEIR
OBJEoT.-Mr. Raymond, late 1t. Governor
of New York, and for long time editor of
the "Times," thus ventilates his own party
and bis own disunion sentiments:
"We are about played as party
We have played the Maine Law good
enough Morgan for the time being-but it is
played out, and so Abolitionism IS PLAYED
OUT. 1t may last Lincoln's time out, but if
we hold on till then, there is not one Of us
living that will ever get into public life
again. Weed is wisely getting out Of the
scrape. Greeley is fool enough to hold on.
The ONLY HOPE there is for any of us, is to
KEEP ON THE WAR until the Union is SO
SPLIT UP that it can never be
got together again. A reunion with the
South on AMY. terms is death to all this
generation. But at any rate, the taxes,
which the people have not begun to feel;
the debt and CONSUMPTION. not yet begun,
but to come, WILL DAMN EVERY MAN
CONCERNED IN LEVYING THEM"

that State. 1t is a short but comprehensive
recital of the history, and statement of the
position, of our good old party: E@
: The Democratic party is, yet power in
the country. Its manly proportions are not
dwarfed nor its powers impaired. Its eye
is bright and it looks with und imme Wis

now bleeding country. Its vigorous hand
is unpalsied with age, and its strong arm
brawny with the sinews Of honest labor and
unfaltering courage. 1t will yet save the
nation. 1t is an organization which exists
because 1t loves the Constitution
