Yes, for although I have never seen

THE BIRDS SONG.

Lo. the lilies of the field,
How their leaves instruction yield
Hark to Natures lesson given
By the blessed birds of heaven;
Every hush and tufted tree
Marbles sweet philosophy;
"Mortal, fly from doubt and sorrow,
God provideth for the morrow
Gone there lives whose guardian Ego
Guides our humble destiny;
One there liycs, who, Lord Of all,
Keeps our feathers lest they fall
Pass we blitely, then the time,
Fearless of the snare and lime,
Free from doubt and faithless sorrow,-
God provideth for the morrow"
1t is a lameptable fact that some Of
the ablest as well as the poorest news
papers ia the country are giving up the
ghost. on account of the high price Of
stock and labor.

The Programme Laid Down,

Arrangements are being made to have
the Indiana troops at home in time to vote
at the fall elections and the copperheads
are in great trouble over it. They may
we'll be.
Governor Morton returned from the
East Saturday night. Since his arrival
he has been busy with delayed matters of
executive business.
Nothing has yet been done towards
calling for our quota of troops under the
Presidents late call. 1t is the almost
unanimous sentiment of Union men that
the Governor should make no call whatev-
er for that purpose, but allow the quota to
be filled by a draft. The copperhcad
)untics of the State are largely behind on
former calls, and they deem it only simple
justice that they should be forced to re-
spond
The copperhcads will not volunteer, but
are constantly abusing Union men for not
doing So"
| We clip the foregoing delectable NOR
caou from the Indianapolis correspondence
of the Chicago Tribune, of the Goth inst
Notwithstanding the Government wants
half a million Of men in addition to those
now in the field, in order to enable it to
carry on the war; and if miscegen journals
are to be believed, the operations of Gen.
Grant arc languishing for the want of
more men, arrangements are being made
to have the republican soldiers sat home

are over. We have suspected something
of the sort for some time, because unless
this or some other equally fraudulent man
euver is resorted to, Irdiana will go demo

other day in earnest consultation with few

pected that the Union League is now be
ing rc-viviGed, and that CoIfax expects
through its secret workings, aided by fraud

secure his reelection this fall.
We have reason to know that Mr.. G.. ha.
written to his friends here in relation t,
the matter, and doubtless anticipates an
other term in aye Speakers Chair" Hi
anticipations may possibly be realized, bu
we advise him and his friends to rely fol
