The Beautiful Home,

Oh a beautiful home is the home of the blest,
Where the loved ofthe Father ave gone;
Where sweet balm is found for the spirit oppressed
And where free from all earths weary rest
And the river of Life foweth on.
Oh glorious home is the home ofour Cod
And its glory our portion shall be,
If cur feet the path that the Savior hath trod,
And submissive we bow, meath His Christening rod
And His love, by our faith ever see.
We bound by strong ties to that heavenly land,
The sweet home of the happy above;
We can see in clear visions, our darling ones stand,
Even now they bidding join their bright band,
And sing praises to God for His love.
How our souls long to visit thar beautiful shore,
And 10 gaze on the treasures we've there!
Oh to clasp to our bosoms the loved,a of yore
And to hear the sweet voices heard often before
To smooth down the bright tresses of hair
But we cannot unclose the fair portals oil d2y,
That hide heavens full glory from sight;
Only ence in a while we may catch pure ray,
AS angel goes home through the clear shining way,
And is lost in the fulIness of light.
Oh in the beautiful home where our Father dwes,
We shall live with the happy and blest;
Far sway from the sound of earth's funeral knells
And its breaking hearts, and its lonely farewells
And the sighngs and longings for rest
Oh a beautiful home is the home ofthe best,
Where no sorrow or night ever come =
For the there's joy for the weary there's rest
And sweet balm is found for the spirit oppressed,
In Gods beautiful, beautiful home.
July, 1868.

He felt about him, and touched railing.
It was the balustrade round the open turret
where hung the great bell. He was lying
under the bell itself, and, as he gazed up into
it's brazen throat, the recollection OF the
frightful dream which had prosecuted him
the night before his flight from Stralsund
came wildly to his mind he appeared to him
self to be still dreaming and yet his visions
were mixed up with the realities of his every
day occupation.
He had just stepped out, he thought, to
strike Ethe hour on the bell; and rising, with
some difficulty, from the hard couch which
had stiffened his limbs, he sought about for
the hammer He made no effort to shake of
the sort of dreamy self-consciousness which
seemed to prevent him from feeling the hor-
ror and anguish of reality.
Thirteen strokes thought he; Thirteen
strokes, and at the thirteenth the tower will
fall, the city crumble to dust, the world be at
an end"
Such had been his dream, and the moment
of it's accomplishment was come.
He found the hammer, and struck with all
his force upon the bell. He repeated the blow /;
twelve times he struck, and each stroke rang
with deafening violence through his brain.
But at the Thirteenth, as he raised his arms
high above his head and leaning back against
the railing, threw his whole strength and en-
ergy into the blow, the frall balustrade gave
way under his weight and he fell headlong
from the tower. The last stoke tolled out,
sad and hollow as a funereal knell, and the
sound mingled with the death-cry of the luck

MILWAUKEE, August II, 1868.
WILLIAM E. CRAMER, --Dear Sir: You did
me the honor to suggest my name III the
| Wisconsin Of yesterday, III connection with
the State Ticket to be nominated at Madison,
on the 9th instant; for which [ tender you
my sincere thanks. Several prominent Citi-
zens of the State had already spoken to zoe
on the same subject.
It is my earnest wish and manifest duty to
return to the field as soon as my health shall
permit; and | must therefore decline to be a
candidate before the nominating convention.
1t would seem to be a most ungrateful return
for repeated promotion, if | should leave the
army at time when it is reasonable to pre-
sumo that my services might begin to be of
some value, unless indeed the experience and
study of two years shall prove entirely use
less: At the same time it is very clear that
either of the distinguished citizens who are
candidates for the nomination, with the adj
vantage Of two years experience, in the adj
ministration Of one department or another Of
the State government, and with unqucstion
ed certainty of success, would be far better
officer and far better candidate.
If had supposed that so many of the peo-
pie of Wisconsin would honor me as they have
done, in respect of the State Ticket and other
wise, | should have hesitated to return home
from the Department Of the Gulf. For it is
easier to meet the arms of enemies than the
unmerited praise of friends But ] hope, on
my return to the field, to engage with such
increased zeal and diligence in the service Of
our country, as shall contribute to the main
tenance of the honor Of this State, and testify
my gratitude to its generous people.
Be kind enough to publish this note in the
Daily Wisconsin.
Most respectfully
Your Obedent Servant,
HALBERT +. PAINE.

A Loyal SLAyEHOLDER.-How easy it is to
discern the ring of true loyalty anywhere. At
the Alumni dinner of Dartmouth College, on
the 23d uIt one of the speakers was Jacob
Dinsmore, Esq, Of Kentucky, member of
the class Of 1918. After referring to nation
al matters, he closed as follows
''If in crushing out this accursed rebellion
slavery must go overheard, then for Gods
sake let it CO. ! am at the present time a
Kentucky stakeholder have been such for
more than forty years, but assure you that
during all this time have been firm and
unwavering emancipationist, Under existing
circumstances cannot well set free my slaves
but will pay every one of them the same
daily wages that l should give corresponding
white laborers. l want this war to ne pros
ecuted, and if slavery shall be crushed, then
| cheerfully abide by its destruction l am
loyal Kentuckian. and whatever tate IN the
course of the war shall befall the domestic in
stitution of my State l shall give way to no
stand M for ny country and her flag There
is but one course for the loyal North to pur-
sue. and that is to put down this wicked re-
beliion. We must defeat the rebels or they
will conquer u.s."

EXECUTIVE MANSION,

hANoLOH3
WASHINGTON August l, 1868
To his Exceoncy Horatio Seymour, Governor OF
| New York
Yours Of the 9Th, with Judge Advocate
General Waterbury's report, was rec~Sved to-
day. .,
Asking YOU to remember that consider
time as being very important both TO the gen
eral cause of the country and to the soldiers
in the field, l beg to remind you that walt
ed at your request from the LIST until the 9th
instant to receive your communication dated
the Sd. In view of its great length, and the
known time and apparent care taken in its
preparation, l did not doubt that it con-
tanned your full case as you desired to present
it. It contained the figures OF twelve dis
tricts. emitting the other nineteen, as l sup
nosed because you found nothing to complain
of as to them | answered accordingly. In
doing so | laid down the principle to winch
| propose adhering, which is to proceed with
the draft, at the same time employing lnfalh-
BILE means to avoid any great wrong.
With the communication received to-day
YOU send figures for twenty weight districts,
| Including the twelve sent before, and stlii
emitting three, for which suppose the en-.
rolJments are not yet received. In looking
over the fuller lists of twenty-eight districts
find that the quotas for sixteen Of them are
above 1000 and beloW 2,7O0 while OF the
rest six are above 2,700 and six are PeloY
1000
Applying the principle to these new facts,
the 18th and 18th districts must be added to the
four in which the quotas have already been
reduced to 1920 for the first draft and with
these four others must be added to those to
be re-enrolled The correct case will then
stand: The quotas of the I'd, 4th, 9th, 9th,
7th and 9Th districts, fixed at 2,2O0 for the
first draft. The Provost Marshal General IN
forms me that the drawing is already compile
ted in the 10th, 18th, 18th, 22nd, Oath, 26th,
9th, 28th, Doth and 30th districts. In the
others, except the three outstanding, the
drawing will be made upon the quotas as now
fixed. After the first draft the End, 4th, 9th,
9Th 9TH, 9Th, 10th, 18th, 2lst, 25th, 18th and
81st will he re-enrolled, for the purpose and
in the manner stated in my letter OF the 7th
inst. The same principle will be applied to
the now outstanding districts when they shall
come in. No part of my former letter IS re-
pudiated by reason Of not being restated IN
this, or for any other cause
Your obedient servant, a. LINCOLN.
