the following merited tribute to the member
of Congress from this district, Hon. j. B.

"The member from the 4th district is suj

plucky, energetic, intelligent, eternally at

is on his legs more than any of our members,

They hate him most earnestly. There are

is our most valuable member. and on oil 80
counts he is entitled to great consideration.

tic party proper, with whom have so long
and pleasantly been associated, that the hour
has now come when that great party can
Justly vindicate its devotion to true Demo
cratic policy and measures of expectancy.
The war is war of great principles. 1t
involves the supremacy and life of the Gov
eminent itself If the rebellion triumphs
free Government-North and South fails
If on the other hand, the Government is
successful-as I do not Doubts destiny
is fixed, its basis permanent and enduring.
and it's career of honor just begun. In a
great contest like this for the existence Of
free government the path Of duty is patriot
ism and principle. Minor considerations and
questions of administrative policy should
give way to the higher duty of first presrv-
ing the Government, and then there will be
time enough to wrangle over the men and
measures pertaining to its administration,
This is not an hour for strife and division
among ouselves Such differences TO opinion
only encourage the enemy ,prolong the war,
and waste the country Unity of action
and concentration Of power should be our
watchword and ralIying cry. This accom-
plished, the time will rapidly approach when
their armies in the feld-the great power
of the rebeIIion-will be broken and crushed
by our gallant officers and brave soldiers,
and ere long they will return to their homes
and firesides to resume again the avocations
Of peace, with the proud consciousness that
they have aided in the noble work of re-es-
tablishing upon surer and more perman-
cnt basis the great temple of American Ere
dom
am, gentlemen, with sentiments OF higI
regard. Yours truly,

In the Atlantic Monthly" for June we find the follow
ing poem--a di most poems in its music an
meaning, IS :he playing of full band in tueera
a aa'''' IRON inc paying S0"'''o" u UNI '''"'
l lay upon the headand ,height, and listened
To the incessant sobbing of the sea
In caverns under me, 10
And watched he waves, that tossed and fed
and glistened,
Until the rolling meadows OF amethyst
Melted away in mist.
Then, suddenly, 4s one from sleep started;
For round about me all the sunny capes
Seemed peoped with the shapes
OF those whom l had known in days departed,
Apparreled in he loneliness which geames
On the faces seen in dreams
A moment only, and the light and glory
Faded away, and the disconsulate shore
Stood lonely as before;
ind the wild rose fthe ~ omontory
Around me shuddered in the wind, and shed
Their petals ofFale red
There was an old belief that in the embers
OF all things their primordia form exists,
And cunning alchemists
Could recfeate the rose W it'll all its members
From Its own ashes, bat without the bloom,
Without the lost perfume.
All. me! what woudsr-working, occult science
Can from the ashes in our hearts once more
The lose OF youth restore?
What craft of alchemy can bid dtfanee
To time aud change, and for single hour
Renew this fantom flower?
''Oh, give me back, y l cried, 't,e vanished splen
doris
The breath of morn and exultant strife,
When the swift st, cam OF life
Bounds DER its rocky channel, and surren ters
The pond; with all its lilies, for the leap
into the unknown deep.
And the sea answered with a lameantation,
Like some Old prophet wang, and it SAID,
''Alas thy youth is dead
1t breathes no more, its heart has rulsation
In the dark places where the dead of old
1t lives forever cold ~
Then, said l. from its coosecrated cerements
viii not drag this sacred dust again,
Only to give me pain,
But, still remembering all the lost endearments
Go on my way, like one who looks before,
Add turns 20 weep no more.
Into what land ofharvest, what plantations
Bright with autumnai foliage and the glow
OF sunsets burning ow
Beneath what midn ght skies, whose consultations
light up the spacious avenues between
This world and the unseen!
Amid what friendly greetings and caresses,
What households, though not alien, yet not mine
What bowers of rest divine
To what temptations in lone wildsrnesses,
What famine OF the heart, wha. pain and loss,
The bearing of what cross
l do not know nor will 1 vany question
Those pages Of the mystic book which hold
The story still untold,
But without rash conjecture or suggestion
Turn its last leaves in reverence and good heed,
Until "fhe End" read.

The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1864-04-29

Of the loyalty of the members of the
Free State Convention. a good guess may be
made from the vote, y to 9, which tabled
Mr. Abell's motion and resolutions yesterday,
to the effect that the General Order, No. 3S,
providing for the education of Freedmen IS
unconstitutional and that the convention
adjourn to confer with Gen. Banks and the
authorities of the General Government
thereon.
Hon. Edward H. Durel, the president of
the convention, is native of New Hamp-
shire and about 80 years of age, the latter
half of which has been spent in Louisiana.
He is well read lawyer both in the common
law and in the civil law on which the Louisi-
ana code is based. He las long acquired a
special reputation for accuracy and Judlc!ous
forecast in matters of finance and political
economy. Gen. Buffers sagacity was not
slow to detect these abilities and he accord
ingly early placed Judge Durel at the head
of the financial Bureau of the city govern
ment. His nomination by President Lin
coin and confirmation by the Senate as Judge
of the United State District Court of Louisi-
ana, is best approved by those patriots and
legal gentlemen who know him best. He is
sound on the main question, holding that
slavery is all institution which stands in the
way of national progress and must cease to
exist 1t is already an established fact that
eight-nintk>, if not all, of the convention
agree with him in this, at least, that the in
stitu,ion is opposed to the theory and spirit
of Repuhl;cansm, and that, whatever con-
sidera.lons may be urged in It's favor, its
preservation is of infinitely less moment
than the life Of the nation. B. F. B.

Busybodies.

There is a certain class of persons who
are eternally meddling with other peoples
affairs. They are never satisfied unless they
know all about their neighbours business
what such man was doing at such time,
or what Miss So-and-so was telling Miss
Blank while in the street the other day. II
the Busybody does not succeed by noseing
round, asking questions, etc, In learning
what he or she wishes to know, then follow
surmises and guesses, which soon become
affirmations and In time result In positive
assertions. In this way has the good char
acter of many young man and woman been
blackened and their good name destroyed,
for time at least.
The Busybody sees the world with jaun-
diced eyes. None are perfect but themselves.
In their opinion nothing good can come from
Nazareth. Ihey never go with their ears
and eyes shut, not they. They are " obServ-
er.," but unfortunately they viii see only tbs
darkest side of the picture or if they look
upon the bright side, it Is only that they
may discover flaws and blemishes.
The Busybody may be iikened unto man
who goes into a neighbours orchard, and
without plucking any OF the ripe, rudd.
fruit hanging upon the bOus gathers up
all the wormy, knotty and rotten apples TN
der the trees and brings them TO you, saving ::
" See, this is specimen OF neighbor Smith )
fruit" So the Busybody, passing by uuno-
ticed everything good and notle in a per
sons character, sees only his bad qualities
and is perpetually sounding them abroad u
til people think him vicious person wit
out principle.
The Busybody is always d coward. Il lie

spying out something upon which 10 found
a story, that his lying, iaiiling tongue ma!
have something to do the next day, in c.rcu-
lating story derogatory to his ueishbor.
The Busybody is TO be avoided and despis-
ed. The gambling b.acA!eg and .n:daish,
assassin are gentlemen compared with u.ed-
ding, Busybody man; and the painted aid
bedaubed prostitute appears respectable waen
placed beside tatt.ing Busybody woman.
