The Dream OF the Quakress.

There is a beautiful story of a pious old
Quaker lady who was addicted to the use
of tobacco. She INDUCED in this habit un-
til it increased so much upon her that she
not only smoked large portion of the day,
but frequently sat up in bed for this pur-
pose in the night. After one of these noe
turnal entertainments she dreamed that
she died and approached heaven Meeting
an angel she asked if her name was written
in the Book of Life. He disappeared, but
replied upon returning, that he could not
find it.
ooh" she said, do look again; it must
be there. "
1T is not there. "
"Oh, she said in agony, lit must be
there. l have the assurance that it is there.
Do look again"
The angel was moved to tears by her en-
treaties, and again left her to renew the
search. After long absence he came
back with his face radiant with joy and ex-
claimed:
"We have found it, but it was so cloud.
ed with tobacco smoke we could hardly see
| it."
The woman, upon waking, Immediately
threw her pipe away, and never INDUCED
in smoking again.

have not taken into account the border
slave States, as their situation is such as to
defect any calculation of their earnings, at
least for some years to come. 1t will be
seen therefore that the annual amount which
from this time forward must be paid into
the Federal Treasury, exceeds by almost
one hundred millions of dollars the total an
nual earnings of the the nineteen free States,
during period of peace and unexampled
prosperity. Under the present policy pur-
sued towards the seeded States, halfaa CEN
tury will roll away before they will again as
sist the wealth of the country. Their whole
system of productiveness is to be destroyed.
Four millions ofannual producers are to be-

vast Bureau is about to be created by which

War Vessels ON the Northern
Lakes.

In 1871 treaty was made between the
United States and Great Britain to the fol-
lowing effect: That neither Power should
maintain naval force upon Northern lakes,
except that each might have one vessel of
not more than one hundred tons, and armed
with one eighteen FOUNDER gun, on Lake
Ontario, and the same on Lake Champlain,
and two vessels of like tonnage and arma-
mont on the upper lakes This treaty was
liable to discontinuance after a specified
thereto. The House Naval Committee on
Friday instructed their chairman, Mr.. Rice,
TO report joint resolution proposing that
the United States shall now give that no.

Why are corn and potatoes like sinner!
Because they have eyes and see not; and
ears and hear not.
Why is a lawyer like woman? Because
he is female, (fee-male).
When wife hugs her husband, it is al,

him."
There is a great deal of dying for love
nowadays, but it is generally OF the whls'

For our own part We are glad to hear
that Lincoln has received the nomination.
When some enterp:ising partisan officer Of
the revolution proposed to carry off Sir Will
liam Howe from the midst of his army,
! Washington put his veto on it at once. He
had no doubt that it was feasible, but Howe
had conducted the war as stupidity as it was
possible for anv man to conduct it, and any
change whatever could be but for the British
interest Let him stay, for fear Of success
sor who might not be quite such an imbecile.
50 We say of old Abe. 1t would be impossi
ble to find another such ass in the United
States and therefore, we say, let him stay.
We, at least, of the confederacy, ought to be

war exactly as We ought to wish it to be con

wavering, heated red-hod those who were

given, till the barrel was nearly full Of
charges. This conduct could not long escape
the notice of the captain. He had heard Of

keep it.

A Touching Story.

fecting incident:
In one of the fierce engagements With
the rebels near Mechanicsville in May last,
young lieutenant of Rhode Island bat
terry had his right foot so shattered by a
fragment Of shell that, on reaching WASH

rides, and journey of a weeks duration, he
was obliged to undergo amputation of ihe
leg. He telegraphed home, hundreds of
miles away, that all was going well, and with
a soldiers fortitude composed himself to bear
bis sufFerings alone.
Unknown to him, however, his mother,
one of those dear reserves OF the army, has
FASTENED up to join he main force. She
reached the city at midnight, and the nu,.es
would have kept her from him until morn
