a light in the rarkness.

The annexed extract from a speech By
Senator Hale, while tine conscription law
while the couscripiion law was under dis
cussion, is worthy of ali admiration, and
should be copied by every Democratic
journal 1t will cniitie Senator Hale TO
forgiveness for many acts in his public
career, which have justly been open TO
cersure. No language can be too strong
to denounce the arbitrary arrests which
have taken place under the auspices OF the
present administration, and such teclara-
tions as have been made by the Senator
from New Hampshire, on ;his subject
will be long and tavUrably remembered:
- If trial by jury Is overthrown III this
country, take the rest. | would not lift
my hand, nor open my mouth. nor coun-
sci one of my constituents To shed a drop
of blood, or pay dollar of treasure. if
the Constitution i to be preserved emas-
culated of this great safeguard OF liberty.
In these times. when 50 much Is demand
ed, and 80 much is at stake, with Il geHer-
Gus confidence | would give 70 the admin
iStral!on almost everything that they want.
! would consent, and | have consented,
that the habeas corpus may be suspended,
and these extraordinary tribunals may be
erected and instituted for the trial of every
body that voluntary comes forward and
connects himself with the public service.
But, sir, if you are going TO ;hrow a
drag-net over the land, if you are going
TO bring in this whole people and subject
them to the penalties that may be inflicted
by military tribunals and these courts mar
tial, then the last step in the humiliation
and the degradation Of the country is
taken, and We shall he left fit Instruments
for any despotism ,hat the bold and law
less may see proper to establish over Us. "
Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1865-03-01

below the boiling point, we see at once
what transitory, feeting, changeful
thing it is. While we are looking at it,
it is going; before we can seize it, 1t slips
through our fingers. Indeed, according
to Boyle and others, water is a crystal
melting at low temperature, whose nor
NAL condition is that of ice: in other
words, water is an unnatural state Of ice !;
whenever it is not, it ought to be ice.
Heat dissolves ice into water just as it
dissolvcs butter irto oil. Butter and ice,
nevertheless, are the proper forms for those
liquids to appear in.
Pure water is protoXide Of hydrogen
1t is hydrogen rusted, and that thoroughly
and completely, as much as iron rust is
oxide of iron only the rusting is done
instantaneously instead of gradually. Here
again we have two separate paradoxes in
one. Firstly hydrogen is the lightest
form of matter known, except the either
which we don't know. Two volumes
of this lightest gas combined with one
volume of oxygen-a gas only trife
heavier than air-form a fluid whose
weight we have just been wondering at.
Secondly, oxygen is eminently the snstain-
cr of combustion, the life and soul of fire ;
and hydrogen is the combustion which
illuminates our cities, warns our apart
ments, cooks our food, and kills US by i'll
timed explosions. And yet these two to-
eether constitute the agent which we daily
employ, on the smallest and the largest
scale to cxtinguish fire. Verify there are
more things in heaven and earth than were
dreamed of, in. Shakcspcare's days, in his
philosophy.
When the sconful mother launched the
taunt a. her son, That he never would
sci the Thames on fire., and the lad NUT
tered, candlestick in hand, I'm blessed

than his prejudiced parent The Thames

The longer life, the more offence.
The more offence, the greater pain;
The greater pain, the less defence;
Tie less defence, the lesser gain
The less OF gain long i'll doth try,
Wherefore, come. death. and let me die!
The shorter life, less count | find;
The less account, the sooner made;
The count soon made the merrier mind;
The merrier mind doth thought invade
Short life, in truth. this thing doth try,
Wherefore, come, death, and let me die
Come gentle death, the ebb of care,
Tie ehb Of care, the food of life:
The flood of life, the joyful tace
The joyful face, the end of strife
The end of strlle, that thing wish |,
Wherefore. come. death and let me die!
