A Peace Submission vs. A Submission

ing OF the North to the recognition Of the
Southern Confederacy.
Supposing it should require three years
more 10 secure a peace submission, the
public debt will be about S4, ,OOO, 600, 900.
The national wealth under this glorious
settlement Of the great question will be on
the ordinary mode Of assessment, at leas,

Sl8O, ,OOO. 900 to be annually paid, and
which would therefore be an incum brauce

In this case our nation would only include

the cost OF at least 800. .OOO, 900 per an.

This would be q burden OF over twelve

This calculation shows us that it would
be $50 per centum cheaper to continue
the war till the rebellion is suppressed
than to submit now to recognition OF the
Confederacy. In the one case the whole
Of the Republic will pay our debt. while

the burden. In the one case, all business

The UNION BLUEs.-By this tile we
do not mean military organic alton
far from it--but we mean those whose
patience is not adequate to the present
national crisis. and who are found de-.
spending, and sometimes almost despair
ing. They are not blues by reason of
their exterior color, but because they are
blue in spirit. Some Of them are regular
hypochondriacs--their liyers are not
healthy. Others love their money better
than the old flag. and are distressed at
every call Of patriotism upon their pock-
cts. Others still live TOO much in the
company of Copperheads. whose rebel
souls breathe forth an influence that con-
teammates impressible persons. Then there
are others who we are afraid place

Married the Wrong Lady,

Love is very uncertain thing, and it
is not safe to be too certain of the symp-
toms until they are unmistakeable. The
following will explain our meaning:
Vienna has been stirred up, lately, by
the comical result Of strange love story
1t seems that in the house of one Herr
Kuhne, teacherof languages, DR.. Kant
a young lawyer, happened to make the
acquaintance Of lady, burdened with
some property and thirty years. The la
dy, being unmarriedSeyinced particular
interest in the young, shy, and rather
abashed man of law. She made love to
him, in fact, very strongly, ndpersuaded
him to visit her at her house. But, alas
he loved another lady. One evening,
while conversing with the doctor, she
said: With your favorable idea of mat
rimony, may ask if you ever thought of
marrying yourself?" DIR. Kant sighed
and his eye resting on the ground, hesita-
tingly muttercd inreply: II have already
thought of marrying, and made my choice,
but" "But!' the lady hastily inter-
posed" But" he continued, " the lady
is rich, very rich, and am poor. am
afraid | could hardly aspire to her hand,
and rather than allow myself to be taxed
with sordid designs, l will bury my pas
sion in my breast, and leave it unavowed
forever" AT an early hour of the fol-
lowing day she, however, betook herself
to a solicitor, and, in legal form declared
her wish to present and hand over as,his
sole property the sum of 10000 guild
ers-(G15,0 ,000)-to DR.. Kant. When
the document had been signed counter
signed, and duly completed, she sat down
in the Office, and, enclosing it in an ele-
giant envelope, added a note to the follow
ing effect: "Dearsir-I have much pleas
ure in enclosing paper, which hope
will remove the obstacle in the way of
your marriage. Believe me, &C., Alice
Martini DR.. Kant, for he and no 9TH
er was the addressee, was the happiest
man in the world on receiving this gener-
Gus epistle. Repairing at once to the
parents of Fraulein Fischel, the lady of
his love, he proposed for and received the
hand of girl who had been fattered by
his delicate though unavowed attentions.
His reply to Alice Martini, besides con-
veying his sincerest thanks, contained
two cartes de visite, linked together by
the significant rose colored ribbon. Miss
Martini forthwith sued the happy bride
groom for restitution, but, as no promise
of marriage had been made, the case was,
by two successive courts, decided against

Damascus remains what it was before the
days of Abraham-a centre of trade and
travel-an island of verdure in desert

and sacred associations extending through

Damascus that Saul of Tarsus saw the
light from Heaven above the brightness

out one Paradise, and for his part he was
resolved not to have his in this world, is

OF the East" and Isaiah, "the head Of
Syria" 1t is still city of flowers and
bright waters; the streams from Lebanon,
