THE BAD DISEASE OF LAzISEss. ss.-Lazi.
ness is bad disease, and, like many other
kinds, is often self-imposed. In the case
Of many individuals it is an inherited NAL
ady, and consequently hard to oust from
the system. But is oltencr the case that
this disgusting distemper is brought on
persons by their own deliberate selfish
ness-by vastly discredtable disposition
to shirk the inevitable burdens incident to
living decent life. Laziness of this kind
is one Of the cardinal sins, and should sub.
ject the obnoxious offender to the discip.
line of treadmill. More particularly is
lazness offensive in beyoung and robust
To learn to work, and work cheerfGlly, is
the central lesson of life. Begin to learn
it early-eschew laziness as the most dis
gusting of all faults, and one that will
surely end in hopeless misery-for de-
pend upon it, none can be so insenslble
through laziness as to be, in the end, In
capable Of suffering. Nature is, in the
event Of non-payment Of her demands, .
stern and merciess creditor. Therefore,
boys and girls, keep square your account
with her.

SATISFIED WITH THE TERMs.-A certain
good natured old Vermont farmer pre-
served his temper always, let what would
turn up. One day while the black tongue
prevailed in that State, one Of his men
came in bringing the news that one of
his red oxen was dead. "Is hei" said
the old man; "well, he was Away q
breachy cuss Take his hide off and car
ry it down to Fletcher's-it will bring
cash." An hour or SO afterwards the
man came back with the news that "Line-
back" and his mate were both dead
Are they ?" said the old man well, l
took them of B. to save a bed debt
that never expected to get. 1t is lucky
that it amt the brindles. Take the hides
down to Fletcher's--they'll bring cash" :"
After the lapse Of another hour the man
came back to tell him that the nigh brin-
die was dead. "ls hep" said the old
man swell, he was a very old OK
Take off his hide and send it down to
Fletcher's--it is worth cash, and will
bring more than two Of the Others" Al
this juncture, his wife, who was pious
soul, taking upon herself the Office of Eli
phaz, reminded her husband Of his sins,
and asked him if he was not aware that
his loss was the judgment Of Heaven for
his wickedness? "Is it?" said the old
fellow "well, if they will take the judg
ment in cattle, it is the easiest way car
pay it."

A QUESTION AND AN ANSWER. = Mr.. James
Guthrie, one of the makers Of tho Chicago
platform, asks, in late speech in Indiana,
"Who darcs say that VIC shall not have peace
upon the basis OF the integrity Of the FEEDER
al Union?"
Mr.. George Ii. Pcndleton, who, with Gen.
George b. Mcclellan, stands upon Mr.. Guth.
rie's platform, and for whom, as Vice Prcsi-
dent of the United States, Mr.. Guthrie in
tends to vote, is the man who darcs to say it.
Mr.. Pendleton says, frankly :-"lf your diff
ferences arc 80 great chat yoa cannot or will
not reconcile them, then. gentlemen, let the
seeding States depar, in peace"
That is peace upon the basis OF the disso-
luton Of the Union. Mr.. Guthrie is ans

COMPETENT WIrNrsEs.-While VIC have
Democratic stump speakers in this State GO
ing about whining that the rebellion cannot
DO subdued by arms, and that some other
way ought to be tried. (tbough they are not
quite so talkative as they were before Sheri.
dams victories.) the following are some oil the
authorities whose voices are heard on the 9TH
erside:
Says Lieut.. Gen. Grant:
The end is not far distant. If we will only
be true to ourselves. All we want now to
insure an early restoration of the Union is a
determined unity Of sentiment North"
Says Maj. Gen. Hooker;
"Tho Union must be preserved, and there
is no way Of preserving it but by the power
OF our arms-by fighting the conspiracy to
death. This rebellion is tottering while
speak: it is going down, and will soon tuni.
BILE into ruin,
Says Maj. Gen. Meade:
"Dismissing, as now useless to discuss, all
questions as to the origin Of this war. we
have daily and hourly evidences that it exists,
and that it can only DO terminated by hard
fighting and by determined efforts to over
come the armed enemies Of the Government. "
Says Major General Burnside:
Would it not be cowardly for us to say
that this rebellion cannot be crushed and the
authority Of the Government sustained?
There is in my mind no question OF it. There
can be no such thing as laying down OF arms
or cessation of hostilities until the entire au.
thOrity of the Government is acknowledged
by every citizen of our country.
Says Major General Logan:
The greatest victory Of the rebels, greater
than fifty Minassases. and their only one that
can give them u particle of hope, will be to
defeat the war party at the incoming cam
paign.
Says Major General Dix:
Ny desire is to do all in my power to sus-
tain the Government in its efforts to put
down the rebelliOn-an object to be effected,
in my judgment, by steady and unswerv-
ing prosecution Of the war.
Says the old veteran Major Gen. Wool:
Nothing. for aught that I can discover,
will save the Union and its government. but
the successes OF Grant, Sherman, Farragut
and Sheridan.

A SONG OF TRIUMPH.


This splendid burst OF song from Tennyson Is
peculiarly appropriate to the days OF victory now
dawnlng upon us.l
Our enemies have fallen, have fallen, they came :
The leaves were wet with women's tears they heard
noise OF song, they would not understand.
They marked II With the red cross to the fall,
And would have strown It, and are fallen them
selves.
Our enemies have fallen, have fallen they came,
The woodmen with their axes 10 the tree
But We will make IL Aggots for the hearth,
And shape IL plank and beam for roof and door
And boats and bridges for the use OF men.
Our enemies have fallen, have fallen; they struck
With their own blows they hurt themselves, nor
knew
There dwelt an iron nature In the grain,
The slitterius axe was broken in their arms,
Their arms were shattered 10 tho shoulder blade.
Our enemies have ALLEN. but this shall grow
A night Of summer nom the heat, n breath
or Autumn. dropping fruits OF power and rolled
With music in the growing breeze Of times,
The tops shall strike from star to star. the angs
Shall move the stony bases OF the world.

CoPPERlX,ps PORTRAYED ny A DEMOCRAT.
In a recent address delivered by Hon. John
Cessna, u lifelong Democrat OF Pennsylvania,
occurs the following graphic sketch, which
all will recognize: "Therc arc unfortunately
those among us who cannot discuss the ques-
ton single moment without showing that
they are a, heart foes Of the government and
enemies Of their race. The people soon learn
to find out and know these men. Human
skill and ingenuity and all OF a traitors cum
ming cannot long succeed in conccaling their
real sentiments. They hang back or skulk
away from our public gatherings on our ma
tional holidays; they disparage Union officers
and soldiers and eulogizs the rebels. All I'm

tied - bad news is often originated, believ-
ed and circulated long before verified. Taxes
are obnoxious and oppressive drafts are I'M
constitutional and odous; war is bloody and
desolatins and the nation ought at once to
stop it. For nearly four years everything
has been wrong; nothing excellent, nothing
oven praiseworthy or pIss,blc has ever been
done by their own goycrnmcnt-only mis-
takes. wrongs, wicked acts OF tyranny, and
earnest appeals are made to the people to arise
in their might and prevent the establishment

time they have never been known TO utter a
word of dcnuneia,ion against the rebellion,
Or sec an improper act south OF the rebel lines.
These are the unmistakable ear-marks OF the

down beneath the picture in large letters the
word Patriot : he may, in very noisy and
earnest words, Insist that ho is u sound Dem.
ocrat. and that every man Of his party who
sustains the war is an 'Abolitionist.' Yet
after all he is neither patriot or good
Democrat. You may turn him upside down
and inside out, and cense and wash him
with all the pure water Of America, and you
can make nothing out of him but poor, mis-
erablc traitor-iust such ono as General
jackson would have strung up for treason in
