LIFE.
BY LOTTIE L

What is this life that all do crave
A long life here below,
The Journey to the tomb is said,
'Tis nought but grief and woe.
And what is life ! that should live;
"Life's but an empty dream;'
The charms of earth, | find are false,
They are not what they seem.
And what is life! when friends prove fasle
And from us roam away,
All! then, long TO rest this head,
Upon the silent clay.
And what is life? when love decays,
The dreamy potent SPELL
IT'S hard to part from these dear ones,
We long have loved SO well.
Sad is my life, when slander stains
Its dagger, with my blood;
NV young heart sinks, beneath the weight
OF falsehooi's cruel load.
Sad is my life, when all have gone
The beautiful and gay;
All! could now but soar away
To everlasting day.
Though sad my life, wait Gods will
To still this aching heart;
Then take me home to Heaven above,
Where friends VIII never part.

Copperheads and Ignorance.

If "Where ignorance is bliss, It's folly
to be wise," the Common School Report
of Pennsylvania poinls out some peculiar
ly happy places. Tn A. d. 1868, there
still remained taoenty,fUe districts, where
they refused to provide for the education
of every child by uniform taxation-in
other words they are returned as ''non-
accepting school districts. Nine of
these are scattered here and there in diff
ferent counties, where, probably, there are
accidental circumstances, more than root
ed hostility that keep down common
schools. But there are three counties
wherein the opposition seems to be some
what general. We will give their names
and the votes at the last election
In Sciaggh,W are four non-accepting

The Duty ON Wool.

~ A bill is before Congress, and will shortly
become a law, increasing the duty on for
| eign wool to six cents per pound for an ar
| ticle worth twenty-four cents; ten cents
pound on wool worth forty cents, and so on
Besides this, the advalorem duty Is increas'
ed to thirty per cent, which will make the
duty range from twenty to thirty cents pei
pound. A duty of twenty-four per cent. is
also levied on manufactured wool, besides
the advalorem of thirty cents. The bill
will doubtless affect the price of the pres
ent clip, if it is put through the Senate
quickly, as it doubtless will be. Buyers
may as well 20 over seventy-five cents at
once.--N Ne,cdrk american.
The manufacturers are extremely anxious
to get the present clip before this new law
passes But farmers should demand one
dollar, and if all would hold out, they would
get it. 1t is shame, the way farmers are
deluded. .--C0shocton Democrat.

Gold.

From the time that it became evident
that LINCOLN had determined to renominate
himself for the Presidency, and perpetuate
his senseless, arbitrary, violent and revolu-
tionary reign, up to this day, GOLD, the in
fallible barometer of commercial feeling,
has been steadily going upward in the scale
which marks the depreciation of Govern
ment money. This was the inevitable and
legitimate effect of positive cause. Even
the possibility OF four years more of this
desperate and fanatical Administration eff
fected the sensitive instrument of CONNER
cial opinion; and if the possibility of such
all event effects the market so .disastrously'
what will the realization Of the fact--his
re-election--effect? Any man, with suffi-
cient knowledge OF mathematics to run
corner grocery, knows that four years more
of such an Administration as LINcoLN's
will accomplish the total and irretrievable
ruin of the country and Government, finan-
cially, as well as socially and politically.
The absurdity of the idea upon which Abb
olition financiers are conducting affairs
that the entire personal and real estate prop
erty of the country is pledged to redeem
the public credit-will be realized when it
comes to the point Of taking that property.
1t is the perception of these facts that sends
gold creeping upward as steadily and surely
us an evening shadow upon wall.
Congress, infatuated and reckless, has
passed 6 bill-called the Gold Bill-prohib-
iting transactions in gold, and the President
has signed it with some obscure notion of
stopping gambling in gold. But this Is
simple, egregious folly. When by legisla-
tion Congressman make a handful of paper
money outweigh handful of gold in a
druggists scales. then, and not till then,
may Congress expect to enhance the value
of paper money by legislating against gold
Speculation, of which complaint is made,
did not send gold up, for the spectators
made money whether it went up or down,
either as bulls or bears. The effect Of the
bill is precisely the reverse of what it was
intended to be. 1t acts as tax and adds
value to gold. Competition in the gold bu-
siness will be checked, and the transactions
win be confined to few dealers, who will
fix the rate to suit themselves, and of course
send gold up higher Already we see the
effect of this densely stupid legislation
Gold, which closed last Saturday at 1913 etc.

WooL-The streets of Dover were liter
ally jammed on Wednesday, with wool
wagons, and Port Washington, Shanesville,
and Uhrichsville are also thronged with
wool teams. Never before was there such
wool crop in old Tuscarawas. The prices
range from 20 to S7.-Ohio Democrat.
There is an immense wool crop in this
county, which is rapidly selling from IS to
so. We are astonished that farmers will
thus give away wool, as so cents now is not
more than 40 in gold. Every species of
woOlen goods are three times as high now
as they were when wool was 40 to 90 cents ;
aud In proportion to the rise in every thing
else, wool ought to be 81 to 81 25-and
would be, if farmers would unite in de-
manding it. Why the farmers are making
such haste to exchange their wool, which is
better than gold, for constantly depreciating
greenbacks, at such prices, we can not
imagine.-CoshoctoR Democrat.

lFrom The Richmond Dispatch, June IL
For our own part we are glad to hear that
Lincoln has received the nomination. When
some enterprising partisan officer of the
Revolution proposed to carry of Sir VIII
liam Howe from the midst of his army,
Washington put his veto on it at once. He
had no doubt that 1t was feasible. but Howe
had conducted the war as stupidity as it was
possible for any man to conduct il, aud any
change whatever could be but for the Brit
ish interest. Let him stay, for fear of a
successor who might not be quite such an
imbecile. So we say of old Abe. 1t would
be impossible to find another such ass in
the United States; and, therefore, we say,
let him stay. We, at least, of the Confede-
racy, ought to be satisfied with him, for he
has conducted the war exactly as we ought
to wish It to be conducted. He has con-
firmed those that were wavering, heated
red hot those who were lukewarm, made
those jealous who were careless, converted
cold Indifference into furious passion, and
calculating neutrality into burning patriot
ism. AS for the military operations con-
ceived and executed under his auspices,
surely we have no right to complain. No
service ever had so many laundering off,
GERS, and no campaigns were ever conducted
with greater stupidity. For these reasons
we are decidedly In favor Of Old Abe, and
II we could command million Of votes in
Yankeedom, he should have them all. He
has made the South the most united people
that ever went forth to battle with au In
vader; and for that he deserves the lively
gratitude-of every Southern man. Ifany-
thing could add to the obligations under
which we lie to the Baltimore Convention
it would'be found in the nomination Of An
