BURGLARS ABOUT - Mr. Isaac Pickering,
landlord of the Lewis House, was robbed on
last Friday night. On the same night O
desperate attempt was made to enter the
residence of Mr.. d. G. Neiswanger. Our
citizens should look out for these burglars.

beneficial.

4 MILITARY couRr.

We notice that several Abolition Re
publican papers are urging that Dir. Davis
be tried for treason BY Military Court,
and that foremost in the.loI Is IIilkes'
Spirit of the TSmes, We are noE sur
paised at the course taken By Wilkes, for
be Is ones Of those impuIsive creatures
who often acts more from selfish motive,
than from an intention TO advance the in
teress OF the people.
We are among the number that adyo-
cate and insist that il Mr.. Davis is tried
for treason that be should be tried By
eieiI aud not military court. We take
this position not because as Mr.. Wilkes
says, We desire the ovesthrow Of our gov.
ernment, but because we wish to sustain,
maintain and perretuate it. We hold that
the Constitution and laws made in pursu.
snce thsfeof is the government Of the u
nited States, and thai the oI6oers elected
BY virtue of the same are the servants Of
the people chosen to carry 90 or execute
their Siii or government as established By
them and embodied in the Constitution
and laws Of the Uuitsd States. That Cou-
stilution ordained By the people declares
! that:
s'in all criminal prosecutions, the &C.
cused shall enjoy the right to speedy and
| pubic trial, By an impartial jury of the
State or district wherein the crIale shall
have been committed" -..
Here we see that the Constitution which
il the government ordained by The people
secures to MF. Davis trial by a cir I and
not military court, except it be done By
an act Of despotism which shall in part
override the government.
Thissam Constitution defines the crime
Of TREASON against the United States, and
we're it not for the Constitution theirs
would be no United States, nor, a. a mat
ter Of course any possible chance Of con-
hitting treason against the DDited States.
Had the people Of the several States
refused TO Fatify the Constitution shey
would have retained their sovereignty aad

THE GAME OF LIFE.


This life Is but game Of cards, which mortals
have to learn;
Each shufHes, cuts and deals the pack and each
trump doth turn;
Some bring a high card to the top, and others
bring low,
Some hold . hand quite flush Of trumps, while
Others none can show
Some shuttle with practiced hand, and pack
their cards with care,
So they may know, when they are dealt, where
all the leaders are;
Thus fools are made the dupes OF rogues, Whlie
rogues each other cheat,
And he is very wise indeed, who never meets
defeat,
When playing some throw out the ace the count
ing cards to save,
Some play the deuce, and some the ten, but many
play the knave;
Some play for money, some for fun, and some for
worldly fame,
But not until the games played out can thel
count mp their game
When hearts are trumps We play for love, and
pleasures rule the bour,
No thoughts of sorrow check our Joy In beauty'a
rosy bower;
We sing, we dance, sweet verses make, our cards
at random play,
And while our trump remains on top, our game
holiday.
When diamonds chance to crown the pack ln'
players stake theis gold,
And heavy sums are lost and won by gamblers
young and old;
Intent on winning, each his game doth Watel
with eager eye,
How he may see his neighbor's cards, and oea'
him on the sly.
When clubs are trumrs, look out for war, OF
ocean and on land;
For bloody horrors always comes when clubs an
held in hand.
Then lives are staked instead Of gold, the dogs o
war are freed
This side the broad Atlantic late, the clubs hav
had the lead!
7 Last game fall is when the spadeis turned b.
hand OF Time;
He always deals the closing game in every ag
and cline.
No matter how much man wins, or how muc
each man saves,
The spade win finish up the game, and dig tn
players graves,

ap her petticoats in order to make a special
play.
The Irish ankle needs no eulogy. 1tspeaks
for itself
The English is fair, indicative of great feats
of walking, and other exercises.
The French ankle is positively bad. The
fault with the German is usually an excess Of
size-a snperauity offesh and muscular pow
er; but the French errs in an entirely Oppo-
site direction. 1t is too slim. It is long,
slim, serawuy. The ascending swell to the
calf Guordinately large) is so long and gradu-
al and the largeness of the foot also detraots
from the general effect.
Italy has an exquisite ankle, light, grace
full, full of elasticity, and yet with languid
listlessness which recalls the promenades of
Naples and the evening lounge round the
''winged lions of Saint Mark"
But perfection is only reached in the ankle
Of the Spanish girl. 1t is soft, slight, luxu-
tr1ous, and rife with tremulous, nervous thrills.
| It descends to the little foot with firm conf
Edence, butitrises to, and is slowly immersed
in the gradual expansion of the leg with hap
lpinesss of illnnitable progression.
/ A Spanish maid was upon hobby horse
(which was flying at fun speed her dark face
was aglow with the exercise, her little hands
clutched the bride with tremulous eagerness,
land her large eyes, wild with the fire of the
ESouth, were emitting more than their ac
custoned blaze, but the gaze of the admiring
throng was fixed upon her ankles-her chief
est charms. As the wind-the South wind
i fresh from the sea, with all the voluptuous'
ness OF her tropies-gently lifted her crlno-
line, and that delightful, perfect, delectablt
.ankle was suddenly exposed to view, deer
sigh arose from the breasts of the gazers; anc
when still. higher the amorous breeze elevat
Iedthe coy, tripedpettiooat, and the rounded
glorious calf of the dahasel was made visible
the dep respiration of the spectators was al
most painful.
