ALLEGORICAL.

A traveller, setting out upon a
long journey, was assailed on the
road by ours, mastiffs, and half
grown puppies, which came out
from their kennels to bark at him
as he passed along. He often dis
mounted from his horse to drive
them back with stones and sticks,
into their hiding-places. This op-
Grafton was repeated every day,
and sometimes as often as twenty
times day. The consequence was,
that more than half the travellers
time was consumed in chasing those
dogs and puppies. At last he was
overtaken by a neighbor, who was
going the same road, but who had
set out long time after him. The
latter traveller was very much sur
prised to find the other on his jour-
ney, and on hearing the reason,
" Alas - said he, " is it possible you
have lost your time,. and wasted
your strength in this idle occupa-
ton? These same animals have
beset me all along the road, but !
have saved my time and my labor
in taking no notice of their barkings;
while you have lost yours in resent
ing insults which did you no harm,
and in cbastising dogs and puppies
whose manners you can never
mend"

Honorable Reverdy johnson on the Abolition
Of Glavery-How the Institution was Killed.
In the United States Senate on the 28th ult.
Honorable Reverdy Johnson of Maryland, in
discussion on the bill to promote enlistments
in the army said. 5-1a = oLf
Mr.. Presidnt: In speaking of Maryland
in connection with this topic it is not to pre-
serve the instution at all. It has no other ex-
istence there now than legal one. There is
not slave there legally who would bring at
this day, in the present state of things, ten dol
lars, except as hire. In other words, they are
all now free. How made free2 You who
think that the institution is one which you
have right, and which you do, in the Ian
guage Of the Senator from Maine, Mr. Fess-
endeDI who spoke yesterday, hate, Il am not
at all surprised at that.) you think perhaps,
that you have destroyed the institution. It is
a great mistake. You had nothing to do with
it. Such few of you'll do not mean Senators,
mean your people such few of yonr people
as desired to do away with it, has as little ef
feet upon it as the air of heaven, and not half
as much; for that ought to have humanized
and does humanize, the human heart; and the
heart humanized, the institution sooner or la
ter, must expire. 1t has been put an end to
by the sort of retributive justice which is sure,
in the providence OF God, to visit crime The
men who were here preaching treason from
iheso desks, telegraphing from these
desks-I saw it, though was not member
and my heart burned within me-for their,
miniens, or the deluded masses at home, to seize
upon the public property of the United
Safes, its forts, IFS means, its treasure its ma
terial of war, and who were seeking to seduee
from their allegiance officers of the army and
navy OF the United States-they have done
it; and they were told that such would be
the result. They did lot believe it. They
believed that your representative would not
have the frmDess to try the wager of battle
They believed have heard them say So
that Southern regiment could march, with
out resistance, successfully from Washington
to Boston, and challenge for themselves irde-
pendence in Faneuil Hall. Sad deIusion!
Gross ignorance of the character of your peo-
plel You are free, and you knew its value
You are free, and you are brave because you
are free; and, as I have told them over and
over again, let the day come when in their
madness they should throw down the gage of
battle to the free States Of the Union, and the
days of their domestic institution will have
ended. They have done it. 1 have said it
was, as against them, retributive justice. Hop
ing and believing that their effort will be
fruitless, that their treason will fail in its OBJ
ject, the authority of the Government will be
sustained and the Union be preserved, thank
God that as compensation for the blood, the
treasure, and the agony which have been
brought into our households, and into yours,
it has stricken now and forever this Institution
from its place among our States

The confad,rnta conuOrintinn.

This measure has been enacted in secret
session, and its nature is now revealed. It de-
clares every man between the ages Of Is and
30 in the military service for the war. 1t re-
quires some reflection to comprehend the ty-
ranuy Of this edict. Nothing that can com
pare With it was ever enacted by the most
despotic Governments in the world II means
that every man from the youth of l6 up to the
age Of 50, is declared by an edict to belong
to the army subject at once to the articles OF
war, to military discipline and military penal
ties and that if be does not report himself
for duty at military station within given
time, be win be subject to the penalty Of
death as a deserter. The entire people are
declared soldiers, and under martial law
For carrying on such mechanical trades az
are indispensable to the supply OF the army,
the mechanics will be detailed to do the work,
under military discipline and military pay
Thus the question of7wages is simplifed. So
with such other kinds of labor as are indispeu-
sable. Mechanics and laboring men will be
detailed from the army to work on army sup
plies. Railroad men, telegraphsrs and min
ers will be detailed under military rule and on
the pay Of $l3 per month in Confederate pa
per which is current at about five cents on
the dollar. Government, State and county
officers will be detailed from the army
Planters will be detailed to oversee the ne
groes. All the production and labor of the
country will be under military control and
this system Of detailing will furnish bound
less latitude for official favoritism by which
the aristocratic Glass; most guilty OF the re-
bellion, will continue to escape service and
danger in the field, while the entire middling
and laboring white class will be swept in by
this atrocious conscription, and those who are
required to labor, will be ordered to it by
military officer under military discipline, and
with wages reduced to the sham that the Con-
federate soldier has to take Cincinnati

DELAWARE, OHIO, FEBRUARY 26, 1864.

Fire fire and the old house, from its an
cieDt gables to the mud sills, burst forth with
glare that lighted up the Heavens for miles
around. 1t waved and rose on the pillows Of
fame, then fell with loud crash, sending up
into the air million fragments of lurid light.
All a new home may arise from the ashes Of

Thorne learned many q stern lesson and
when the morning sun looked down the desc
late hillside, which but the day before was
covered with life and beauty, man, true and
loyal, in whose heart vow Of eternal enmily

gistered, welcomed its coming.
Gettysburg the name immortal in our
country's annals. All day the fight had
ragged 6ereely, uneontrollably. Among the
thousands of brave men who rushed forward
70 the rescue, none taught more earnestly and
determinedly than Jamie Thorne. George
Stanley was not in the fight; the insidious
camp fever had struck him down in his
strength, and in distant hospital he strug-
gled !asaiDst death.
Fortune seemed to smile upon the little he
ro, Jamie. His comrades fell around him on
every side but he remained uniDjured until
the close of the first days battle; then as our
noble, exhausted troops, who for so long had
held double their numbers at bay, were com
PEELED to fall back, a ball struck him, and he
fell. When, few days later, his father, who
had hastened to him, stood by his side, Jamie
extended his hand, saying:
Never mind, father, it's all for the coun-
try; my other arm must do double service
And now, father, will you give Minnie to
George %
Jamie rose from tine easy chair, and laid bis
hand on the Deacon's shoulder. The tall,
pale soldier opposite listened eargerly for the
reply.
" Forgive me, George, for the words utter
ed in moment of madness" he said humbled. |
e am proud of you, my boys. What David 8 !

taught me how precious was the Union had
scorned. Minnie is yours, George, she is
worthy of you. As for me, have now an OBJ
ect in life. The country 1 have betrayed

the heart lies forever concealed In
its own mysterious shrine.
Unwritten poetryl 1t is stamp

geous colors of the West at the de-
cline of day, and rests in the black
ened crest of the gathering storm

LOVE AND MARRIAGE.

1t is unwise to hope for domestic
happiness in the possession of a sin
gle trait OF character it is better
to look for combination, and they
are te be most congratulated who
can discern and WOO and win the
possessor of the largest number of
good points. First of all the man
whom you love, the woman whom
you adore, should possess a high
sense of right and wrong next bod
lily health, and thirdly, moral bra
very, a courage to be industrious,
economical and self-denying. With
these three traits, principle. health,
and soul that can do and dare all
that one ought to, domestic felicity
will abide. None ought to marry who
cannot command the means of ena-
bling them to live in comfort ac-
cording to their station in life, with
out grinding economies.
It is useless to talk about love In
a cottage. The little rascal will al
ways run away when there is no
bread and butter on the table,
There is more love in full -four
barrel than in all the roses and po-
sizes and woodbines that ever grew.
No mechanic should marry until he
is master of his trade nor profess
sional man, until his income is ade-
quate to the style of life which he
determines upon nor the merchant,
until his clear and annual gains are
equal to his domestic expenditures,
unless indeed, there are, in either
case, independent and unconditional
sources of income. No man has a
right to marry who has to work like
horse from morning till night to
supply family necessaries, whether
it be by brain or body /; for if the
body is thus made a drudge of, it
perpetuates impaired power to the
race while if the brain is over
wrought, its effects will be seen in
children of feeble intellect, if indeed
they are not demented. To calcu-
late therefore on a reasonable share
of domestic enjoyment, the parties
most interested should aim to find
in each other as great an amount as
may be of high moral principle, of
bodily health, and either the actual
possession of a suitable maintenance
or an individual ability to secure it
without peradventure,-HolFs Jour
nal ofHealth.

sought for Injuries Of inland States. These
are the basis Of a profitable and extensive
trade.
Maryland has more than double the area Of
Massachusetts, for profitable culture. Her
water-power is also greatly 10 excess Of that
Of Massachusetts,. Her agricultural and man
ufaetariDg resources are far greater than those
Of Massachusetts,. Are not these facts Sug-
gestive? Why should Massachusetts, 30 far
exceed Maryland in development? Is it due
to the character of the people, or the institu-
tiOus? We believe, to the latter. We be-
lieVe that slavery has retarded the progress OF
our State in measure almost incalcuiable,
and that the day which dawns upon emanci-
Pated Maryland will usher in future ofgreat-
er moral and material development. The
time will come when Cumberland will become
a great manufacturing center, equaling the
great inland cities Of the North, and when
baltimore will have expanded her limits and
commerce TO double their present size. Our
lard will be increased in value and reduced
into cultivation, and an unprecedented current
OF population and capital win flow into the
State whenever the barrier of slavery is re-
moved. .fa..
But it is to the moral effect OF emancipa-
tion 10 subduring rebellion that our attention
has heretofore been most earnestly directed
This cannot be over-estimated. Let us hope
that we shall not lag too far behind Arkansas
and Louisiana 10 the good work, and that the
country will soon have cause to rejoice In the
attitude assumed by free Maryland [Balti-

UNwRITTEN POETRY.

Far down in the depths of the hu-
man heart there is fountain of
pure and hallowed feeling, from
which, at times, swells up tide of
emotions that words are too power
less to express, which the soul alone
can appreciate. Full many hearts
overfowing with supreme thoughts
