Let ~ "Drap."

President johnson, il seems, Is deter
mined to let the fanatics and disuniOn-
ists feel the effects of his power. Last
week be turned out the Post Masters Of
pittsburg aud AlIcmncy cities, and the
Marshal Of the western district of the
State, on accouuL Of their disunion pro-
cliyitics. He says openly that every
Federal officer in the State, who has no
more respect for law aud justice, and no
more love for the Union than to endorse
Sumner aud Stevens, will be removed,
and that if the Senate refuses to confirm
his appointments he will seud agents
from the various departments to till the
places of those removed, until the Sen
ate does confirm the officers appointed
In this we can say, hurrah for JonNsoN'
1t is move in the right direction, and
although blow at vital point, to abol-
ition disunionism, the harder he strikes
it. the better it will be for the country.

THE LIFE CLOCK.

There Is little mystic clock,
No human eye hath sccn;
That beatcth on--and beatcth on,
From morning until cen.
And when the soul is wrapped in sleep,
And hoarcth not sound,
II ticks and ticks the livclong night,
And never runneth down.
o wondrous is that work orart
Which knclls the passing hour
But ART nc'cr formed, nor mind conceived
The life clocks magic power.
Nor set In gold, nor dccked with gems,
By wealth and pride possessed;
But rich or poor. or high or low,
Each bears II in hi. breast.
When lift's deep stream, mid bcds of noweri
All .till aud softly glidcs,
Like the wayclrfs step, with gentle beat,
It warns Of passing tides.
when threatening darkness gathers DER
Aud Hopes bright visions fec,
Like the snllcn stroke Of muflcd oar,
II bcatrth heavily.
When passion nerves thc warriors arm
For deeds Of hate aud wrong,
Though needed not the fearful sound,
The kncll Is deep aud strong.
Such /, The clock that measures life,
OF gcsh aud spirit blended
And thus twin run within tho breast
Till this strange life is ended.

great pasture was once the bed of an in

mountains. Into it flows thrtyfour
small streams, as well as the Rio Grande.
Nineteen streams in the north part flow
into lake which, apparently has no
outlet Abundance OF salt is found on
its borders. The park has nine thoua-
and four hundred square miles of level

the State Of Ohio, 1t is, at its extreme
points, two hundred miles long, and
scventy-fye wide On clear day near

from one of the surrounding elevations.
The mountains on its borders rise from
FIVE thousand to seven thousand feet
above the surface, and from thirteen to
fifteen thousand above the sea The
northern portion is irrigated in the
spring by high waters aud during the
summer an immense quantity ofhay can
be cut. 1t is said that one thousand
