the storm increased, the clergyman from
time time dispatched his companion to the
hatchway to see how matters went on deck.
"Alas Sir" said he returning, "all is lost.
The sailors are swearing like demoniacs;
their very blasphemies are enough to sink
the vessel" "Oh! Heaven DO praisej,"
said the clergyman, "then all is is right"

The Apostles Creed.

The precise origin of this simplest and most
ancient Of all the creeds, is involved in some
uncertainty, and has long been q matter Of dis
pute among learned theologians. 1t Is at least
certain that its universal use in the Church NAV
be traced back, il not to the Apostolic age
itself, yet to that Immediately succeeding; and
there is very old tradition that each of the
| twelve articles Of the creed was composed by
an Apostolic author. 1t is said that the twelve

selves to preach the Gospel throughout the
world, to frame the symbol or watchword OF
the Christian Church; and it will be interest

Judge SrRAGUE, in his decision of the Army
Warwick case in the United States District
Court at Boston, laid down this principle:
1t has been supposed that after the rebellion
is suppressed, the Government will have the
right of conquest; that State and its inhabit-
ants may be permantly dives.ed Of all political
privileges, aud treated as foreign territory ac-
quired by arms. This is an error. Under dcs-
pptic Governments the power of municipal
confscation may be unlimited: but under our
Government the right of sovereignty over any
portion of a State is given and limited by the
Constitution, and will be the same after the
war as it was before. When the United States
takes possession Of any rebel district, they
acquire no new title, but merely yindicate that
which previously existed.

THE GAGE n. ~
Once upon an evening bleary,

Once upon an evening bleary,
While l sat me, dreamy, dreary,
In the sunshine, thinking DER
Things that passed in days of yorc;
While I nodded, nearly sleeping,
Gently came something creeping
Up my back, like water seeping,
Seeping upward from the floor.
""Tis a cooling breeze" l muttered,
''From the regions meath the floor
Only this, and nothing more"
Ali! distinctly I remember,
1t was in that wet September
When the earth, and every member
OF creation that it bore.
Had for weeks and weeks been soaking
In the meanest, most provoking
Foggy rains, that without joking,
We had ever seen before,
So knew 1t must be very
Cold and damp beneath tho floor
Very cold beneath the floor.
SO sat me, nearly mapping,
In the sunshine. stretching. gaping,
And feeling quite delighted
With breeze from meath the floor;
Till found me growing colder,
And the stretching waxing bolder,
And myself a feeling older
Older than I'd felt before;
Feeling that my joints were sitter
Than they were in days Of yore-
Sitter than they'd been before.
All along my back the creeping
Soon gave place to rushing, leaping
As If countless frozen demons
Had concluded to explore
All the cavities-the varmints-
'Twixt me and my neither garments,
Up into my hair, and downward
Through my boots into the floor;
Then felt myself ihaking

CHIEF JUSTICE CHAsE.-The Louisville Jour.
nal is responsible for the following adrot thrust
at the Chief Justice:
"We hardly think that Chief Justice Chase
would be competent to try Mr.. Davis. His
legal opinions expressed years ago would render
the conviction Of him utterly inconsistent with
his past decision. A number of years ago, in
fugitive slave case at Oberlin Ohio, he de-
cided that the state court should take the
fugitive from the federal officers, and he called
upon the governor to put forward the militia to
enforce the order of the court. 1t will be re-
membered that in this case Judge Swan inter-
vened to prevent an armed collision between
the federal and state authorities, and WIS sub
sequently sacrificed for the part taken by him
in the matter.
Judge Chase has been for many years an
advocate of notification, and as such he rem.
dered the decision alluded to above. By the
same principle upon which he once urged the
military authorities Of Ohio to resist federal
authority, he would be required, in order to
preserve his consistency, to acquit jefferson
Davis. whose crime consists in obeying his own
state in resisting the federal government: If,
however, Judge Chase should change his opin.
ion and convict Mr.. Davis, the decision would
be lacking in moral force. because it would be
universally said that he changed for the simple
purpose Of Furnishing political enemy
