NUMBER II.

This wonder begat questions, the ques-
tons fears, and the fears a search, headed
by the valiant Bimby. They called,
looked, and listened, but our position down
IN the sheltered nook among the rocks
prevented them from hearing US, or we
them
At length they hit upon our path. and
all came along, single file, until they got
to the open space above.
Then they saw sight.
L was spread out in a free and easv DO
sition, my bonnet taken off, and my hair
somewhat tousled up. One foo. rested on
the ground, and the other on rock, about
level with my head, (regard!ess of ankles
this time,) and there l sat, putting away
IN very unladylike style at my principe.
Jennie was sitting close beside me. with
her head almost on my shoulder, and her
small waist almost encircled by my arm.
just as the party came along above, [
laughed out, IN loud, masculine voice
"Just think Of poor s-his-name,
i}imby. Ii he only knew he had been
making love to man-'
"Hush :" cried Jennie; "look! there
he is-and, oh, my gracious there is the
whole company !"
1t was no use for ME 70 clap on nv
bonnet and assume falsetto aeain-they
haa all heard and seen too much for that.
Besides, by this time Bob Styles and Mag
gle Lee had doubtless been made lone
flesh" aid my disguise was of no further
Importance. So l owned up and told the
whole story.
Lawyer Bimby went off into towering
rage. He vowed to kill me, and even
squared off for that purpose, but the rest
OF the party laughed at him so unmerci-
fully, suggesting that we should waltz it
out together, that he finally cooled, and
Slunk away, to take some private convey
auce back to D.
Bob Styles and are living in double
house together. He often saws that he
owes his wife to my masquerading, but,
then, he doesn't feel under any obligations
to me, for he knows owe my wife to the
same thing.
Z. s.: Ely wife's name is jennie.

Snow Flakes.

Out of the bosom of TIE air,
Out of the cloud folds of her garment sha-
ken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.
Even as our cloudy fancies take
Suddenly shape in some divine expression
Even as the troubled heart doth make
In the white countenance confession,
The troubled sky reveals
The grief it feels.
This is the poem of the ar,
Slowly in silent syllables recorded;
This is the secret of despair,
Long in in its cloudy bosom boarded,
Now whispered and revealed
The wood and field.

x Contraba9d Tom, who has lust
come into Sheridan's lines, says the rebels
are having "right smart talk" about
arming the negroes, and the negroes talk
about 1t themselves, but the blacks are
about equally divided on the matter. Tom
says: "Bout half de colored men tink
dey would run directly over to de Yankees
wid de arms in dere hands, an toder half
tnk cey would jist stand an fire a few
volleys to de rear fust, fore dey run-dat's

from our political opponents.
The Democracy could not possibly be in
position more favorable to future success
than that which it now occupies. so stron.
in numerical force, as to forbid all thought
of abandoning its organization, and there

ihe Patriotism OF Our War
Friends Disputed.

lhcrc IS one circumstance which leads Il,
10 greatly doubt the patriotism of our friend,
ct the war party. That circumstance !,
thclr persistent warfare upon our glorious
American eagle, and upon the stars nr,
which he is generally found. Where did
our national bird look better than anon the
CON that issued from the mint ofthe UnionP
Where did he bear proudcr aspect one
that was more agreeable to the people, than
when 1t was reflected upon the tokens of
shining gold and silver? Where was he
more more potent and powtul than there p
here did our stars shine more brilliantly
than IN that golden constellation of the
mint? How it did CRAFTY the patriotism of
the country to possess, in a portable and
convenient shape, a great many copies of
our stars and our eagles But 10 what a
change, The war party has chased our
eagle away No longer is his glorious head
found IN the pockets of the people, with his
expanded plnlons, .graping with his talons
our implements Of national defense No
longer do the stars emit their splendid
hight, Illuminating the dark caverns in
which they used to be concealed. The stars
likewise have been expelled from our polti-
cal armament, or rather they have gone off
so lar that only few, by the aid of tcle
scope, can perceive them. Neither they nor
the eagle can endure the murky atmosphere
ol hepublicaniSm, and as long as that party
is IN power they will not give us the light
OF their presence. The eagle will not make
his eyre upon the greenback, and the stars
decline 10 add to it their lustre, This es-
between our national ensign and
our Republican friends proves conclnsively
I hat they are deficient in patriotism, or else
they would not expel its efligy from the SIGHT
OF the pcople-irom their convenient touch
and ready use. Cincinnati ENQUIRER

ice consumers have been dependent upon
more northcrIy attitudes for snrply of the

The constitutional, Amendment.

The amendment to the United State
Constitution abolshing slavery forever il
the United States, passed the House Of Rcp
rcsentatives last week and was immediateh
signed by the President; it is therefore,
law, only requiring its endorsement by tn,
Legislatures Of thrcc-fomth, of the State
to make provision Of our National Con
stitution This provision was passed by tn,
vote of ll9 to 81, or more than two third
OF those voting Of these fourteen arc
Democrats, without whose votes the amend
ment could not have passed. OF the ratili.
cation Of this act by three -fourths of the
Legislatures Of the States, there seems to
be but little doubt : SO that their endorse
mcnt Of 1t if obtained, the Abolitionists will
have attained all that legislation can do for
/ them in their crusade against slavery. The
I President ) proclamation having failed to
free the Southern slaves, Constitutional
amendment, it is thought by it. advocates.
viii secure the long wished for consumma.
ton.
But proclamations nor amendments to the
Constitution, are likely to abolish slavery
in the States in rebellion, 50 long as they
are able to resist the National authoritv.-
In eastern Virginia, for instance. where
there are no less than 22O, 600 slaves this
to the Constitution will have no
more effect than Lincoln emancipation had
two and half years ago-whch was lust
none at all.
But. on the contrary, it. as is considered
likely, Napoleon has secret understanding
with Davis to acknowledge the Southern
loniedcracy at a particular time, this
to our Constitution renders the
dissolution Of our Union forgonc conclu-
,ion. So. the result of our Abolition fanat-
leg prolonging the war to bring about the
abolition of slavery may result in the per.
nanent dissolution Of the Union. with sla-
very comparatively strong. and its advocates
by the daring and aullcous EN-
Jcror Of the French Or, if necessary 70
secure Southern independence, it is certain
hat the rebels themselves will abolish their
iarIlng institution IN that case the Aboli- |
lonlsts would have the qualification of seq
ng slavery dead with the corpse Of the
american Union lying by its side.

The Pence Question.

Tic announcement that Stephens, Hun
ter and Campbell came t. have a conference
with Lincoln for the purpose of making ar,
rangemcuts to negotiate for peace, and the
fact that Lincoln and Seward promptly met
them at Fortress Monroe, gave hope to the
people and filed the country with silent re.
joicins And with what sadness the news
was received that the conference had proven
total failure.

SmpOTiaN; Amendments

The new Conscription Bill reported b,

United States, has two important change,
oftho present law. First, it admits the Sc.
lection ofsubstitutos from those who arc
liable TO draft Themselves At prcscu, this
is not tho case. This throws open much
wider field IN the selection of substitutes --
Second, if 4 man deserts, the balance of his
