General Davis was recently sitting in his

Harvest Time.
BY FREDERICK j. Watts.

BY FREDERICK j. WATTS.
The ripcning grain, like oceans roll
When fearful storm prevail
Bends to the murmuring winds control
And gayly sports the gale.
1t stands matured in natures mould
With head erect and high,
And garbed in dress of brightest gold
Points upwards to the sky.
Bright emblem of the life Of man,
1t blooms but to decay,
At most its stay is but span
And early fades away.
Like all the verdu-e o. the earth,
"Tis withered by the sun,
The very beams that gave it birth,
BY them it is undone.
Blest is the thought that bouuteous
God
Refuses rot to give
From out his store in Natures sod
The germ for man to live.
Refuses not to rich or poor,
The fruits they would obtein;
He gives from His abundant store
TO all who praise His name.
Alike to all who pray ard weep,
His blessings here arc given;
Tie good we sow, ten-fold we'll reap
In Harvest Time in Heaven.

aEs The following from the Philadelphia
CITY Item possesses truth and force, and is
proper rebuke to those fault finders, who
amid President Linco!n's unparalleled re-
sponsibilties continually and industriously
engaged in hunting out something to carp
at:
TO FAULT FINDERS. When you are dis
posed to find fault with the President and his
cabinet, bear in mind that no Administration
has been so sorely tried, the difficulties which
beset MIR. Lincoln at every step, would have
appalled, any ordinary man With rebellion
at the South, disaffection at the North, and
depleted treasury, a navy scattered to the
four corners of the earth, treason lurking
and active in every department of the Gov
ernment, one half the officers of the army and
navy corrupt and perjured, the hearts of pat
riots saddened almost unto death, surely no
President has had his hands so full? We
may well bear with occasional short comings.
in view of the extraordinary trials which have
attended the Administration thus far. Let
us be patient, hopeful, resolute, and all will
be well yet.

The NEGRO Soldiers Bill.

number Of negroes he may think proper,
has passed the House Of Representatives.
This bill was bitterly opposed by the bor-
der State members, uutil 1t was so aneua
ed as to prohibit recruiting in those States
The members from those States declared
that negro soldiers would be shot there on
sight, aud Mr.. Maynard, Of Tennessee,
plead earnestly to have 'the pill gided.'
The exception was therefore made But
what position does this place these
members o. Congress in! They doc are
that if q certain llw is applied to their
own States, their people will resist the
Federal Goyornmont--in word, turn
"rcbals," "tr4itors,' &c, but if Congress
win consent to except them, then taey
will remain "Ioyal," and even aid and
assist the Abolitionists il jorciog the
hated law upon other States and comm Il
mites Do these men mean to stand be-
fore the world on such record as h
If there is any right or any justice in this
bill, there is no reason Why il should not
be applied 10 all the States alike, and we
