ways treat with him upon religious
matters, but does not acknowledge his
temporal sovereignty.

Sowing Little Seeds.

Little Bessie had got a present
of new bood, and she eager
ly opened it to look at the first picture
1t was the picture of boy sitting by
the side Of stream, and throwing
seeds in the water.
Il wonder what this picture is about
said she, why does the boy throw seeds
into the water?"
sOh, l know said her brother Ed
ward, who had been looking at the
book, 'he is sowing the seeds of water
lillies''
But how small the seeds look said
Bessie. 1T seems strange to think
that large plants should grow from such
little things
you are sowing just such tiny
seeds every day, Bessie; and they viii
come up large plants after a while,
said her father,
'Oh no, father; have not planted
any seeds for long time
Il have seen my daughter sow anum
Der of seeds to-day
Bessie looked puzzled,a and her ia
ther smiled and said, 'Yes, / have
watched you planting flowers and
trees, and weeds, to-dayv
Now / know that you are joking
for l would not plant ugly Weeds
Il shall have to tell you what / mean.
When you laid aside that interesting
book, and attended to what your broth
er wished done, you were sowing the
seeds of kindness and love. Wher
you broke the dish you knew your
mother valued, and came instantly and
told her, you were sowing the seeds o.
truth When you took the cup o.
cold water to the poor woman at the
gate, you were sowing seeds of mercy
These are all beautiful flowers, Bessie,
and will grow up brightly and sweetly
if you water them we'll by constant
repetition of these acts. But, more
than all hope my little girl has been
planting the great tree of love to God,
and that she will tend and watch it, ano
allow it to grow and spread, until its
branches reach the skies, and meet be
fore His throne
sAnd the weeds, father?'
when you were impatient while
baby was oross, you sowed the spiri
of iil-temper. When you waited some
time after your mother called you, yor
sowed disobedience and selfshness
These are all noxious weeds. Pull
them up by the root, my child. Do
not suffer them to grow in your gar
den, or they will completely overrun it.

The following statements are, from
Fortres Monroe correspondence OF
the Philadelphia Inqnirer, dated May
26: 800 e
Yesterday morning Davis com.
planned of being sick, and expressed a
wish to see aphysician. The officer Of
the day, after consulg tinthe proper
authorities, told his prisoner that a
doctor would be allowed him. "What
physicians have you here?" asked jeff
of Captain j. f. Tetlow, the officer OF
the day on duty yesterday. Captain
Tetlow mentioned the names of Doc
tors Bancroft, Janeway and Craven.
"Where is DIR. Bancroft from ?''
queried jeff. "From Connecticut u
answered the Captain. "Don't want
him, then. Where's Janeway from ?''
+" Do you know where Craven is from.''
persisted JEFF. "Yes, he is from New
Jersey" Let me have him them"
In Justice to DR.. Craven, we feel COM
PEELED to say that Notwithstanding the
invidious and insulting selection OF the
chief Of traitors, the physician is and
ever has been an unconditional Uniou
man dyed in the wool. The doctor
found nothing seriously wrong with
Jeff's physical condition.
The real reason Of Davis's desire for
a physician became apparent when
his nOontide meal was served to him.
The murderer of our prisoners is fed
on the regular army rations, pre-
cisely of the same quantity and quality
as is served out to our soldiers in gar.
rison. jeff. has not been partaking of
this food with any apparent relish.
AT noon, yesterday, he threw his soup,
bread and meat from him, exclaiming
in loud and angry voice, that he was
''not accustomed to such living and
would not put up with it."
The officer and his guards on duty
within the cell looked on in quiet sur
prise. Davis became yet more irate,
and strobe up and down his cell, ex.
claiming that he was "to be murdered" +"
At one time he endeavored to de-
prive one of the guards of his gun.
Failing in this, he tore open his vest
and shirt, barred his breast, and asked
to be shot. This melo-dramatic re-
quest was not complied with. On the
contrary, the officer of the day and
Gen. Miller were apprised of the vio-
lent conduct of the prisoner, and irons
were ordered to be put upon his ancles.
1t will be seen by this that the ironing
was perfectly justifable in every point
of view.
When the officers were about to
place the gives upon him he became
more violent than before, and resisted
with all his power the adjustment OF
the manacles. He was gently but
firmly held, and the shackles fastened.
He violently berated the officer while
performing this unpleasant duty. He
was allowed to scold on uninterrupted
ly.
Since his incarceration he has con-
Quoted himself in naughty and SUI
percillious manner, till yesterday when
he became violent. He is calmer to-day.
Dr.. Craven has again visited him, and
reports his health good.
No papers are allowed to be taken
into his cell. While on the Clyde he
managed to gain possession of an In
quirer, containing the proclamation OF
President johnson setting price upon
his head; after reading which he re-
marked that the United States Govern
ment would never dare to hang him.
Time will tell.
