| What may be the explanation of this
sudden and entire change in views of the
| ent, of this rude withdrawal of eau
tious overture for negotiation at the nome Mt
it was likely TO be acce pted, of this emphatic
recall of words of peace ust uttered, and
fresh blasts of war to the bitter end, we
leave for the speculative who have means
or inclination to penetrate the mysteries of
this cabinet or fathom the caprice of his i'm
peral will.
1t is enough for Us to say that we have
no use whatever for the paper which has
been placed In our hands. We could not
transmit it to the President of the Confe
crate States without offering him an indig-
nifty, dishonoring ourselves, and incu urriug
the we'll merited scorn of our countrymen.
Whilst 40 ardent desire for peace pervad es
the people of the Confed derate States, we
rejoice to believe that there are few, il any
among them, who would purchase it at the
expense of liberty, honor and self-respect.
If it can be secured only by their su bmis-
sion to terms ofconquest, the generation>is
yet unborn which will witness its restora-
ton. If there be any military autocrat in
the North who is entitled to proffer the
conditions ofthis manifesto, there is none in
the South auth orzed to entertain them.-
Those who control our armies are servants
of the people, not th cir masters, and they
have no more inclination than they have
right to suhvert social institutions of sover-
eign states to overthrow their established
constitution and to barter away their heri-
tage of self-government.
The correspondence will not, however,;
we trust, prove wholly barren of good re-
suits. If there be any citizen of the Con-
federate States who has clung to the hope
that peace was possible with this admins
tration of the Federal Government, it will
strip from his eyes the last I'm of any such
delusioD; or il there be any whose hearts
have grown faint. under the suffering and
agony of this bloody struggle it wi inspir
them with fresh energy to endure and
brave whatever may yet be req uisite to pre-
serve to themselves and their children all
that gives dignity and value to life, or hope
aud consolation to death, aud if there be
any patriots or Christians in your land who
shrink appalled, from the illimitable virtue
OF private misery and public calamity
which stretches before them, we pray that
in their bosom a resolution may be quick
sned to reclaim the abused auth ority, and
outraged civilization of their
for the solicitude you have mani
tested to inaug urate movement which con-
templates results the most noble and hu-
name. We return our sincere thanks, and
are most respectfully and truly, your ODE =

ingston, a small farmer Tin Pennsylvania,
was some time ago drafted for the service
of his country. His wife, though she pos
sesses but small sack of general informa-
ton, is one of the bsst conjugal partner
and she is much troubled at thought Of part
ing with her husband. As she was engaged
in scrubbing off her door steps. rough
looking stranger thus addressed her:
i hear, ma'am, tina: your husband has
been drafted
Yes, sir. he has, answered Mrs. Pilkin-
ston, thought, dear knows, there's few men
that couldn't better be spared from their
families
Well ma'an, I've come to offer myself
as a substitute for him.
"A what?' asked Mrs. Pilkiuston with
some excitement.
'I'm willing to take his place. said the
stranger.
you take the place of my husband you
wretch! I'll teach you to insult distress
ed woman that way. you vagadondt cried
Mrs. Pilkinston, as she disch arged the dirty
soap-suds in the face of the disoomitted
and astonished substitute, who took to his
heels just in time to escape having his head
broken by the bucket.

The blossoms were thick on many hedge,
The green leaves hid the thorn.
The sun came down on his milk-whte feet
And stood in the standing corn.
When a beautiful maid, with raven hair,
And lips like blood OF the rose,
At the end Of The grass green lane met
And April was at its close.
She laid little white hand in mine,
Like lily leaf newly torn,
And lips were kissed that love never Kissed
Till the birth of that beautiful morn.
The mill-wheel clicked by the side of the dam,
The cattle drank at the ford,
But over the scene went strange bright light
At the sound of single word.
1 felt the presence of darklirg eyes;
The blessing Of being loved
Sank in my heart, like gift from God,
Wherever lived and moved.
But the rainbow season ofAowers is past,
And the later summer comes,
ofthe headed grain, the dropping peach,
And the purple velvet plums,
And reapers are reaping early and late,
In ranks of the golden grain,
As wait and watch for coming step
At the end Of the grass-green lane.
But it never comes. Ny heart was rose,
That into its folds receives
The sun of the summer; but now my heart
Is heap of wIthered leaves.

heard that cream from Alderney milk was
excellent for consum ptves? am told
that one of the most celebrated physicians
in Edinburgh, whose skill in the treat ment'
of consumption is very great, recommends it
as fully equal to cod liver oil, aud much
more palatable. II this is fact, it is worth
knowing, aud should greatly increase the
value of this breed Of cattle We should
be glad of the experience of our readers,
medical or others, on this question.

COMMERCE has commerce done
for the world, that its history should be ex.
plored, its philosophy illustrated, its claim
advanced among the influences which i'm
pei civilization? 1t has enabled man to
avail himself of the peculiarities of cim ate
or position, to make that division of labor
which tends to equalize society," to distribute
the production Of earth, and to reach the
benefit of kindly dependence. 1t uuites
distant branches of the human family, cul-
tivates the relation between them, encour-
ages an interest in each other and prom otes
that brotherly feeling which is the strongest
guarantee of permanent friendship. People
differing in creed, in language, in dress, in
custom, are brought in contact, to prove
their condition by supplying the wants of
one from the abundance of the other. The
friendly intercourse created by commerce is
slowly but surely reVolutionizing the earth
There was a time whe q me- only on the field
of attle, and there was but one name for
strangers and enemy. Now. W herever shi D
can foat, the various emblems Of sovereignty
intsrmingle in harmony, and the sons OF
commerce, the wide world through, in con
suting their own interest, advance the cause
of humanity and peace.
