The signs which should forotell it's birth,
Look dim and far away.

Their pockets "inside out"
And show their loyalty by what
They do, not talk 0b0'a;
When Judges live, who can't be bribed
To set the guilty free;
When pompous selhshness shall lose
The guise Of charity;
When shoe-makers and tailors learn
To perform what they say,
And when they promise coats and shoes,
Youro sure Of them that day.
When fashion stops little while
Till women catch their breath

Runs halfof them to death;
When people cease to load with gifts,
Those who were rich before,
And learn to know the honest poor,
Who hunger at their door;
When Government Contractors lay
Self-interest on the shelf,
Nor rob the Treasury to add
To their in-goiten pelf;
When lawyers can themselves believe
That which they swear is true,
Nor laugh in secret, when they've made

A WoMAN's IDEA OF TRoUsERs.-A
young New England mamma, on the
important occasion of making her
little boy his first pair of colored trous-
ers conceived the idea that it would
be more economical to make them of
the same dimensions behind and be-
fore SO that they might be changed
about and wear evenly-and so she
fashioned them. Their effect when
donned by the little victim was ludi-
crous in the extreme. Papa, at first
sight of the baggy garments, so "fear-
fully and wonderfully made" burst in
to roar Of laughter and exclaimed
"Oh, my dear, how could you have the
heart to do it9 Why, the poor little
fellow won't know whether he's going
TO school or coming home.

Rachel obeyed; and Mrs. Martin
never had the least idea of the tears

the great fair yellow apples among

The golden yapors were all faded
away from the sweet vally now-the
gray November sky stretched its
droary canopy of clouds over the
glens and forests, and the yellow
leaves were raining sadly down
around Ray Martins feet as she hur-
riedly trayersed the mountain path,
pushing aside the red and russell
drifts with eager tremulous fingers,
and searching as if for some precious
lost talisman.
ooh, to think that I should have
dropped it !" she faltered, half aloud.

parting was but dream. Oh, where

And she sat down on the twisted
beech-root and cried heartily, while
the moaning of the chill wind brought
back an echoing cadence to her
ears.

FAMILY CoURTEsIEs.- the family
the law of pleasing ought to extend
from the highest to the lowest. You
are bound to please your children
and your children are bound to please
each other; and you are bound to
please your servants, if you expect
them to please you. Some men arc
pleasant in the household and no
where else. / have known such men.
They are good fathers and kind hus-
bands. If you have seen them in
their own house you would have
thought that they were perfect angels,
almost; but if you had seen them
on the street, or in the store, or any
where else out of the house, you would
have thought them almost demoniac.
But the opposite is apt to be the case.
When we are among our neighbors,
or among strangers, we hold our
selves with self-respect, and endeay-
or to act with propriety; but when we
get home we say to ourselves, 81
have played a part long enough, and
am now going to be natural" So we
sit down, and We are ugly and snap
pish, and blunt, and disagreeable.
We lay aside those thousand little
courtesies that make the toughest
floor smooth, that makes the hardest
thing like velvet, and that makes life
pleasant. We expend our politeness
in places where it will be profitable
where it will generally bring silver and
gold.

Save us from our Friends.

We believe it to be the history of human
ity, that no cause, however pure and ele-
waited, but has suffered more from its friends
than its enemies. The cause of emancipa-
tioh provesNto be no exception. we can
look down the pro-slavery advocate; we
can shame the Shareholder but we are
helpless and dismayed in the presence OF a
New England Abolitionist. Narrow-mind-
ed, mean and bigoted, his motives for re-
form are to be found, like Hudibras' relig-c
ion, not in love of heaven, but hatred OF
his fellow-men. The lights of revealed re-
ligion are confessed by him, to certain
extent, not because they open heaven to the
weary and oppressed, but because there is
such comfort in having a nell 10 Whicn

Clear the Prisons.

An Eastern journal that occupies apromi-
nent place In the Administration ranks,
calls on President JOHNSON to throw open
the prison doors and let the victims of Gar
bitrary Arrests" except such as are under
arrest for assassination conspiracies, to MUIR
der, house-burning and highway robbery,
in behalf of the Rebellion, to go free. While
1t asserts the necessity of "Arbitrary Ar
rests''in time of civil war, it bears testimony
to the fact that lit is terrible power" and
insists that it should not be continued day
beyond its absolute necessity. 1t further
testifies that 18g .rJe raI
sUnder its sway, private rights are sus-
pended; our liberties are at the mercy of an
Individual will. The wielder of such pow
er may be statesman, saint and sage;
yet he can hardly help abusing it, at the
beck of assembling hypocrisy and schem-
ing villainy. We cannot doubt that hum
dreds have been caught up and Gagged who
were innocent and loyal, and whose estates
have become the prey OF the perjured viii
lalns who prompted their incarceration"
This testimony vindicates the correctness
of the position of the Democratic party on
the subject of the exercise of "Arbitrary
Arrests That party has maintained all
along, that through the exercise of this ar
bitrary power, "at the beck of assembling
hypocrisy aud scheming villainy," hun
dreds, if not thousands of innocent and
loyal" people would be despoilsd of their
liberty and their property. But are the
hundreds who shave been caught up and
cagedn through the exercise OF this power,
and '''whose estates have become the prey
of the perjured villains who prompted their
incarceration" to be turned out without
having any reparation given them9 Such
wrongs should not be perpetrated on the
citizens of any Government and certainly
not on the citizens of Government that
was pre-eminent for the protection and free
dom it assured its citizens under the ad-
ministrations of the Democratic and Wing

A Healthy Sign.

The New York Dailies ofThursday morn
ing made common cause in denouncing the
Secret Military Trial of the Assassins now
proceeding at Washington. The EUenIn0
Post, Commercial Advertiser, journal Of Com
merce, World, NetcS, Times and Tribune agree
on this subject. The Times in its comments,
says:
at is one for which no precedent is to be
found in the history of any free country,
and one to which the worst European des-
potisms have rarely ventured, even IN 70
land or Hungary, TO resort. Even the un-
happy victims of the Irish rebellion were
prepared Ior the gallows In open court, and
In the light of day."
The Tribune handles the subject in this
sledge-hammer style:
SECRET MILITARY TRIALs.-There is a
curious old document In existence, known
as the Constitution of the United States,
which formerly had the force and effect OF
law in that large portion OF our country not
specially dominated by the Slave Power.
Under the rule of our present Cabinet, 1t
seems to have gone out of fashion; and,
since Mr.. StantOn's accession to the control
of the War Department, it has become
practically obsolete. we warn
all who take any voluntary part III these
strange proceedings that the Rebellion Is
suppressed, the war at an end, and the right
to suspend the privilege of habeas corpus and
make the will OF Secretary OF War the
supreme law of the land, has expired. II
our present Secretary cannot be made to
realize these grave truths, it is high time
he had a successor; and if our Attorney
General believes the assailant OF Sec
retary Seward now illegally triable before
a Military Commission" he badly needs
his own time for the completion of his legal
studies. while the Government needs a dit
ferent law officer There may be politer
ways of setting forth these convictions, but
none of these would do them Justice.
Gentlemen of the Cabinet! the war east
ward of the Mississippi is ended; the re-
belion is suppressed; the Union is re-estab-
lished, and peaceyirtually restored: where
fore the people demand of you a speedy
and thorough return to the safe and orderly
ways of law and liberty. Do not compel
them to speak in tones that you cannot re-
fuse to hear!

Moves Slowly.

President JOHNSON does not move quite
fast enough in the hanging business to suit
malignantss in his party. They think he
talks well enough about 1t, but he doesn't
begin the business; and they are becoming
apprehensive that if "leaders" at the
South shall become "penitent they will
be- pardonedn This way Of treating the
Rebels will not satisfy bloody-minded cler-
gymeng who have undertaken to enlighten
the people as to the viii Of Providence
There used to be preachers, however, who
taught, and there may yet be some who
teach, that the Lord would pardon the con-
trite aud penitent sinner, no matter how
'gravely lie had offended against His laws.

-. Rrisht Editor.

An editor who undertakes to enlighten
hisreaders and to expound sound political
doctrine, says: Z ..al. ~
'.We require no better evidence that Sher-
mans negotiation was wrong, than its uni
versal approval by the Copperhead press"
o. 1t is not our understanding that 'SHER-
MANS negotiation" received the universal
approval" of what are designated ''the cop
perhead press" Admit, however, that that
press have given universal approval" to
the eSHERMAN-JoHNsToN negotiation" that
circumstance of itself by no means proves
it to be "wrong." The editor we refer to
can not wish to be understood as being
governed In his advocacy or reputation of
atmeasure solely by the course taken in re-
lation to itby journals that antagonize him
politically, and not by considerations of its
merit or benefcence. He assumes this po-
sition in the foregoing extract; and it is the
most shameful and humiliating position an
editor can occupy. .ss 2 Gs
