COPPERHEAD COMPLAINTS. any of our
readers guess what document contains the fol-
lowing complaints? The Aboltionists will
readily say it is the "disloyal" platform of some
COpperhead Convention 1o
He has obstructed the administration of JUS
tice. -.- ,...
He has made Judges dependent upon his will
alone.
He has erected multitude of new Offices
He has kept among us in time Of peace,
standing armies, without the-consent of Legis-
atures
He has even effected to render the military in
dependent of and superior to the civil pewer.
He has combined, with Others to-, subject us
to jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and
unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent
to their acts of pretended legislation.
For quartering large bodies Of armed troops
among us.
For protecting them, by mock trial, from pun
shment from any murder which they should
commit on the inhabitants of these States.
For depriving us, in many cases, of the bene-
fit of trial by jury
For taking away charters, abolishing our
most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally
the forms of our Governments. He has melted
nsurrection amongst us.
These are not extracts from any latter day po-
litical gathering, but are taken from arenowned
old document signed by John Hancock and fifty
three others, written by Thomas Jefferson, en-
crossed by the order of Congress, and familiarly

Filling the sky and the earth below
Over the housetops, sover the street,
Over the heads of the people you meet;
Dancing,
Flirting,
Skirmishihg along 4s3t
Beautiful snow 1t do wrong
Flying to kiss a fair lady's cheek;
Clinging to lips in frolicsome freak;
Beautiful snow. from the heavens above,
Pure as an angel, tickle as love
Oh the snow the beautiful snow
How the fakes gather and laugh they go
Whirling about in its maddening fun,
1t plays in its gee with every one.
Chasing,
Laughing.
Hunying by,
It lights up the face, and it sparkles the eye;
And even the dogs with bark and bound,
Snap at the crystals that eddy the ground;
The town is alive and its heart in a glow,
To welcome the coming of the beautiful snow.
How the wild crowd goes swaying along
Hailing each other with humor and song
How the gay sledges, like meteors pass by,
Bright for moment then lost to the eye;
Ringing,
Dashing they go,
Over the crust of beautiful snow
Snow so pure when it falls from the sky,
To be tramped in the mud by the crowd rushing by
To be tracked and trampled by thousands of feet,
Till it blends in the filth of the horrible street!
Once l was pure as the srow-butI fell;
Fell like the snow fakes, from heaven to he'll
Fell to be trampled as filth of the street;
Fell, to be scofed at, spit on, and beat
Pleading,
Cursing,
Dreading to die:
Selling my soul to whoever would buy;
Dealing in shame for mOrsel of bread;
Hating the living and fearing the dead.
Merciful God Have fallen so lowl
And yet l was once like this beautiful snow
Once was fair as the beautiful snow, gl
With an eye like its crystals, heart like its glow
Once was loved tor my innocent grace
Flattered and sought for the charms of my face.
Father,
Mother,
Sisters ALL
God and myself have lost by my fall
The verest wretch that goes shivering by
Will take u wide sweep, lest | wander too nigh;
For all that is on or about me, | know
There is nothing that's pare but the beautiful snow
How strange i. should be that the beautiful snow
Should fall on a stranger with nowhere to gol
How strange it would be when the night comes again.
If the snow and the ice struck my desperate BRAIN
Painting,
Freezing,
Dying alone
Too wicked for prayer, too weak for moan
To be heard in the crash of the crazy town.
Gone mad in their JOY at the SHOWS coming down,
To lie and to die in my terrible woe,
With bed and shroud of the beautiful snow

THE EXPRESSION OF DREss.-Women are more
like flowers than we think. In sheir dress and
adornments they express their nature as the
flowers do in their petals and colors. Some
women are like the modest daises and yiolets,
they never look or feel better than when dressed
in a morning wrapper Others are not them
selves unless they can fame out in gorgeous
dyes, like the tulip or bush rose. Who has not
seen women like white liies2 We know several
double marigolds and popies. There are wo-
men fit only for velvets like dahales; others are
graceful and airy like the azeleas. Now and
then you see hOllyhocks and sunfow9rs. When
women are free to dress they like, uncontrolled
by others, and not limited by their circumstan-
ces; they do not fail to express their true charac
ters, and dress becomes a form Of expression
very genuine and useful l-Meredith,

The Great Falls of Snake River.

From time to time, we have received descrip-
tons of the Great Falls of Snake river From
these reports we learn that the Falls exceed in
height and volume of water, those of Niagara,
the most noted in the world The following
from the Boise Nc1os is from visitor who has
taken the trouble to measure them and thus
writes
''When we arrived at Rock Creek, one days
travel from Salmon Falls Ferry, we left one
morning for the great falls and took straight
line for Snake river At the distance Of four
miles, we came upon them unawares, as the bluffs
are over three thousand feet high on each side,
conse equentlv you wouldnot hear them. There
we commenced the descent to the Falls on horse
back to within few hundred yards of the awful
precipce. There fastening our horses we soon
descended to a level with the river above the
Falls. The sight that then broke upon the view
is too sublime to be described by one so little
capable Of doing it justice myself Wemeas-
ured the distance that the whole volume of water
falls in one sheet, and found it 2O3 feet. Then,
above, Ishould judge it to be about 20 to 80 feet
fall before it reaches the grand fall. The width
of the grand fall l should judge tobe about 500
feet l have visited Niagara many times, but
this fall eclipses it far Fourmles further above
we found another Of less note, where the water
divides into two parts and falls a distance Of
l67 feet. Should you ever again cross the plains
don't go by the Falls without visiting them as
it is well worth one year of ones life. Our
measurement may be relied upon as perfectly
correct, as we started prepared for it,

MELANDERING.-A army correspondent gives
the following account of the melanderers:
1t is amusing to see big, hurley, fine looking
fellows limp or crawl to the rear when a battle
is in progress. Sometimes these fellows dropas
if struck by thunderbolt, until they have an
opportunity to crawl to the wood in the rear
occasionally they are carried Off the field, repre-
senting themselves mortally wounded. Some
times they take off one boot, tie handkerchief
around the foot, use a limb in lieu Of a crutch
and make their way out Of danger, assuming all
the suffering and weakness Of wounded men,
When their cowardce is detected they frame all
sorts of excuses; some have rheumatism some
are dangerously i'll, some thought they were shot,
some came back to take care ofa wounded com
rade, some are posted in the rear for some pre-
posterous purpose, and some go back as special
messengers. These fellows are returned to the
front under guard, and skulking officers are re-.
duced to the ranks. r..

TaG last steamer from Europe brings an
account of another debate in Parlinment
upon American affairs. It was chiefly dis.
tinguished by the maliguant aud infuria.
ted attack of Mr.. Roebuck upon the Eu.
glish government aud for his bIarnsy
about that of the United States. He seems
to have been very much Infatuated
because prudence prevailed 10 the
councils of the English people. He was
in favor of war. The tone of the frss Min
lister twas in the first place like that of a
cOckstOO, or the scOldtng of an angry wo.
man." The Foreign Secretary useemed
frightened BY the bluster of the Federal
Government" Mr.. Roebuck declared that
he was glad the rebel pirates had chased
American commerce from the face of the
waters. The infuriatsd N. P. spoke in a
style very Characteristic of the fierce dec.
lamatiou Iudulged In at Richmond. The
American war he declared to be blot
upon human nature. When it was said
that Mr. ROebuck shOuld have any sym
patty with the North, he says:
"Iturn N absolute disgust from t6.ir hypoc.
Ti1y. TaGg are corrupt, they are coOGrdty,
hey are base, and they are cruel"
Lord PaImerston replied to AIR. Roebucl
TO defend the English government.

explanation of the attack of Mr.. Roe
buck;

reminded that the same speaker who use,
this language of them, applied the sam
language which the House had just heard

suces were like the SCREENINGS of a cocka
