A QUAKER WoMAN's MoN.-There are
three thingssI very much wonder &C. The
trst is, that children should be so foolish as
to throw up stones, clubs, and brick bats into
fruit trees, to knock down fruit if they
would let 1t alone, it would fall itself. The
second is thst men should be so foolish, and
even so wicked as 10 60 to war, and kill eaofr
other; it let alone they would die themselves.
And the third and last thing which wonder
rs, that young men should be so unwise
as to 60 after the young women; if they
would stay at home, the young women wo'd
come after them.

PosITIvI2M,-Milk and water people, who
content themselves with simply doihE MO
harm, at the same time never doing any
good, are mere neg alives. Your man of force
who does not wait for stone to get out o
his Heaven, appointed way, but manfully rolls
it over, may unntentonaly hurt somebody's
toes in the act; but thousands who will
walk that future path will thank sEhim for
clearing it. The man who has no enemy is
generally sleek, creeping, cautious, white
washed creature, walking the world with
velvet shoes, who smirks and gldes his IN
challenged way to the cbscurity he merits.

WHERE ARE2THEY.

Where are the men who marched at night
About four months ago?
Each with banner or a light
A grand, inspiring show,
Who chopped to march to Dixie's land,
Each with a musket in his hand,
To slaughter all the rebel land
About four months ago.
Where are the men who drove fast teamE
About four months ago?
Who showed their zeal by shouts and screams,
And make the whiskey fow
Who made their patriotic boasts
That they would 'crush the rebel hosts,
Or die, like heroes at their posts"
About four months ago.
Where are the men who swayed the crowd
About four months ago?
Where speeches were so long and loud
And bright with martial glow
Who wore small medals on their coats,
And had their pocket full of notes
To buy up Democratic votes,
About foar months ago.
The draft is coming-where are those
Who Dragged four months ago2
Why don't they march to meet their foes
And "crush them at blow ~
Abe calls, but, ah they answer not !
They do not fancy being shot
Their blood has cooled, which was so hot
About four months age.
