WHEREAS, The tendency of the Confederate gov

actment of unjust laws to her citizens, is inst cause
of complaint. and whereas, we have an earnest DE-

ACE AMONG OURSELVES.


II is an unfortunate fact says the South Carolin-
ian, that while we striving to win an honorable
peace, discord is at work between the coordinate
departments of the Confederate government. The
Senate has already asserted Its independence Of the
Executive in series of resolutions which, if adopt
ed, will virtually deprive the Chief Magistrate Of
every officer appointed under his provisional admin
istration. More recently the same body, through
its Judiciary Committee has declared its will, that
the ineficency of Cabinet officers shall be checked
by making the tenure of their Office two instead of
six years limit is thus sought to be put upon

to RETAIN beyond certain time, an official who has

In the April number of HUper's -Gng-
asine there is an excellent paper on the
"Torture of the Innocents," which every
parent should read, and from which we
take the following:
There exists in some minds Il morbid inter-
est in DEATH an unnatural mOrtuarv taste, and
an uncomfortable attraction to the face of q
corpse Certain persons never miss funeral,
and are critical upon shrOuds. and the fine art
of mourning costume generally, and whose
horrible curiosity is masked under a specou5
sort of religious interest sometimes, as farra-
90 of gossip about the clergyman and his iami-
ly is occasionally dgniiicd as - religious con-
yersatjon with So-and-So" | don't mean the
kind friend who out of the love of Christ and
her neighbOr, STILES her own repugnancc to the
task. and assists YOU in your hour OF need to
bury your dead out of your sight; but those
ghOul-like people who. not content with graft
fying their own love of the horrible, insist up
on all the little children within their control
being taken to look at the corpse As il
that white mystery, so starkly lying there with
stfienino limbs and shining smooth hair, and
clad in white vestments ofthe grave so straight
ly smooth around it, was sight calculated to
give a child any other idea CT death than tina.
Of unutterable chill of silence and OF loneliness
That pale form, dimly suggesting the dear
friend so strangely missing from the familiar
chair OF couch yet so unlike its old sell, SO I'M
like people, is not thing to bring into fami.
liar contact with sensitive, highly-organized
natures. Especially is it SO to the warm
pulses and keenly vItalized sense of children.
And so much suffering is sometimes caused by
such shocks to the nervous systems OF young
children that it seems unnecessary and cruel to
cause the attendance OF those OF such tender
age on funeral occasions
Let al that be spared to the little ones. Tell
them that mamma, papa, or sister or brother
is gone away to another world, and make II
pleasant to them to sometimes talk OF them Ia
that fair and distant country. Do not speak OF
the parting as for long time, and let the aSso-
citation of death with all fair snowy blossoms,
all pure babe-lke statues, all that suggests
calm white repose, and peaceful trust in Gods
love- take forever the place OF the collin, the
skeleton and the hourglass. We shall find 1t
easier to live, and surely not more difficult to
die, if to lie down softly, and pass away sweetly
and lovingly; if the awful darkness and cor
ruption is fairly yelled and forgotten. Let our
mother Earth and our sister Worm be cast in
to the shade which hides those old monkish
notions, born of celbacy, of unbaptized babes
lying in the outer darkness until the Judgment
day that old rubbish of a half-heathen time
when women were accounted vilest of ali
things, and marriage, though permitted, yet
regarded as only admitting of lower grade of
piety than the cOnventual cowl; when the
closter and rope were the sufficient type of the
worlds piety.

Steals swift to- meet her lord. the sun.
And down among the golden corn
The larks wake one bv one
Sweet twitterings break the misty calm,
And odorOus buds unfurl in dew:
And fairer far than desert palm
To Arabs eager view,
Cp>pring the lilies. tall and pale,
To blush at sight of lovers eyes
And amorous trils from yOnder vale
Shall lalld them to the skies
Sweet day. watch thy dawning haze
With raptures sweet prophetic Zest;
Oh. golden sun, thy dying rays
Will see me doubly best.
My lily waits. with blushing cheek.
For her dear lovers ardent eyes:
And fairer far than lily meek,
She stands in bridal guisc.
She comes, with all her hopes and fears.
Clad in the'cam Of maiden life.
And brings her wealth of smiles and tears
To dover the faithful wife.
Sweet dawn and day. Sweet noon and night
Sweet stars that deck the bridal sky.
Ye come to witness the delight
That waits on consistency.
For Us no more shall loves alarms
Raise tumults in each happy breast.
But havencd in each others arms.
