From the Anti-sls,ery STANDARD
Spirit.

Oh what is Spirit? Who can tell
Aught of the Undefnable?
Who shall explore its nature, source,
Or follow its departing course ?
What made, this morn, q little child
Smile, when upon its face / smiled?
Why did another fondly 'twine,
Unasked, u trustful hand in mine ?"
What makes the honest dog draw nigh
To meet the welcome of my eye?
Why, but that spirit, within these,
Ny spirit answers, feels, and sees?
/ had little darling bird,
That my fond cares and kindness stirrred
Why ddst thou, birdie, child of air,
So Joy to have my love and care ?
Twas the Invisible in thee,
Met the Invisible in me.
One morn its little cry was bright,
1t twittered in its happy flight;
To feed upon my hand 1t came,
And chirped, if / but called its name:
The next, all cold it lay and still;
No motion left, no voice, no will.
We said the little bird was dead:
But whdt from that small frame had fled?
Where was that strange, mysterious thing
That moved Its chirp, and nrged its wing,
That sparkled in its sprightly eye,
That seemed alloy when was by,
What will you call it Life-or Soul?
had friend-a precious one,
Who was to me Heavens benizon:
| watched her quivering, fiuttering breath
When that came on which we call Death
Cold as my little bird, then lay
All that was left of pallid clay
Alike from bird and friend had gone
That which my love had fastened on:
What was that nameless, viewless thing,
Thus vanished from our questioning?
And o ! can this impalpable,
Which thus in man and brute doth dwell,
That which through nerve and fibre lives,
And joy, and pain, and will-power gives,
This all-impelling, quickening fire,
Can it, in aught that breathes expire?
And is it not in each the same,
Whatever be its earth known name?
Oh narrow thinker! to deny
To brute life Immortality:
Shallow the reasoning that would deem
My faith but Fancys baseless dream.
'Tis little our dim view can see
Of Beings mighty mystery;
Yet sure ON Natures page we read,
In lessons above human creed,
Truths from which deeper Thought doth learl
What SPIRIT eCer is eterne.

To read the rebel newspapers and hear

Price carried the rebel banner as far North
as Lexington, threatening TO capture St.
Louis In Arkansas, Hindman had large

Let Charity Begin at Home,

1t WIS John Wesley who said "let charity
begin at home, but see that it does not end
there In other words, said he, get all
You can, and then gre all you can" In
December, 1862, it will be rocolleetod that
strong appeals We're made by the journals Of
many Of our loyal States in behalf Of the
starving poor 81 England, and many Of the
charitable and wealthy of our country re-
spondcd literally, and ship loads of grain
and meat went over TO the operatives of
Lancashire, England. i may be christian
like TO feed the starving mobs Of Great
Britain, whose Threats have been made sore
by shouting for secession and the "South-
ern Conledcracy,' but we confess that we
are too great sinner to participate in such
displays Of goodness. The nslurality of
Great Britain in the war to pcrpetuate the
American Union. shows itself in acts of de-
ccit, treachery, and bad faith generally. If
England had given her tens Of thousands TO
feed her starving operatives, that she sac
rifced to run our blockade, to furnish iron
clad steamers arms, and goods, to aid the
wicked American rebellion, they might not
have been this need Of aid from the United
States. Again, lei us think Of tho sufTorngs
and restitution Of thousands Of loyal fam
lilies in our loyal States, and especially in
our border States, where Union families
were made to suffer by the Internal rebel,
lion that England was all the time assisting
in pushing forward. Let us supply the
wants OF our own poor and then if we have
to spare, let us freight ship loads abroad to
stall-fced our enemies. Let charity begin at
home, and then let it end in contributions for
distant charity.

An Editorial 0pini0n.
MAY 28, 1864

We are frequently called upon to give
legal advice and legal opinions, and some
times We are offered pay We have de-
clincd in every instance, and very properly
too, as we are no part Of lawyer and
make no prctensions to law knowledge
But we now proceed to give an editorial
opinion and editorial ddricc, for which we
make no charge, and upon points that in
tercst a great many.
Our opinion is, that men calling them.
selves Union men, who come to Knoxville
from surrounding counties, to endorse for
notorious rebels, and to testify to their 10y.
atty in order 80 get them out Of prison,
where they have been placed for their vii
ainous acts, are badly employed, and, as a
general thing, are meaner men than those
they seek to release. And men who voted
for Separation and Representation" two
years ago, claiming 10 be Union men now,
are the proper persons to appear hero be-
fore the military authorities and endorse
the loyalty Of brother rcbols who voted tho
same trditoroas ticket and when their
friends ere released upon the strength of
their testimony, they, the witnesses, ought
to be made to take their places.
The sitting OF the Federal Court here,
and the daily sittings Of the Grand Jury,
with power to send for persons and papers,
so as to indict traitors for treason and rebel
conspirators for conspiracics, has revealed
the important fact there are no rebels in
all this country, and that no man can DO
found who ever done any harm. All arc
now for the Union and think this whole
thing was wrong and none ever approved
of secession.
