war must become a word Of horror, uttered
with loathing and execrstien. Therefore,
il is the interest OF the Democrats TO do
their very uttermost to weaken the Federal
army, discedit Federal finance; in short. to
extinguish the party which invented the
war and governs it and lives by it.
The last significant fact, which comes to

Taking Life Easily

We are advocates of the philosophy of
taking life easily. The happiest condition
of being is repose; and it is natural to desire
the happiest condition. And what we mean
by repOse--not sluggish iuaction-not an
oyster like seclusion and torpor-but rather
the calmness of selicentred life, well OIL der
ed and well-governed, whose motions are
steadily regular, whose aims are high, and
whose progress is unialterlng.
To make life one round of gaiety, is not
necessarily, to take life easily. To be a
Mercutis is to rea!izs brilliancy. Such a
man dazzles by his wit and vivacity. He
lives on excitement, and nothing else can
sustain him. He must for ever be the cen
tral figure is some bright assembage-'the
cynosurc of neighboring eyes" But when
solitude comes to such man, where shall
he find support? In those sable ves,ured
hours, when the soul takes thought of it
self, remembering its Immortality, and as
serting its right to higher and betterthings,
what satisfaction shall he find in gambolS,
or songs, or flashes of merrii1ent that
were wont TO setthe table on roar?" Mons
whatever. It will only be. a dreory safety

when it is the natural outburst of free anC
genial nature, happy in its sympathy will
right and truth. But merriment which i,
only in externals, is forced, unnatural ana
painful, and then it is not good at all. Such
merriment is the token of mind rent from
its moorinss; it is incipient madness. ;.
1t is simple philosophy-that Of taking
life easily. 1t only requires that man
should be natural that he should be what
he is, not perpetually labor to seem what he
is not. That he should obey the laws OF
his being; that he should doright and not &c

in God, and hope on to the end Norris

A Soldiers Opinion of General

The following extract is from q let

to Richmond is hut short, but our road has
been long and difficult; but with the blessing
of God we shall reach the black heart OF
