stories about Southern sentiment. Be
cause the Southern people did not throw
their arms around every Yankee who
came among them, and cry out ia the
excess of their newborn affection, 80.
Yankee, how / love YOU" therefore
they were to be kept out Of the Union
until they would.
= But was it the Very best way to
create love for the Union i'll the south
by keeping the South out OF the mon:
Every day that she was kept out had

She had been out for five years, and had
not felt the need OF union with the
North. Keep out the Southern States
five more years, and they would learn
to get along out of it. They would learn
that union was not necessary to their
existence. He, therefore, claimed the
right to see the Union reinstated in all
its integrity. and he should lose his
guess if the South did not show us, with
her fervid spirits, greater zeal FOR free
dom than we have ever shown our
selves. PhHodelphia Agc.

IT was wise law Of the ancient Jews,
that the sons of even the Wealthiest men
should be obliged to serve an appren-

that in case Of reverse OF fortune they
might have something to 1all PACK

"The postponement Of yesterday in
the House Of Representatives, by an
immense majority, of the proposed
amendment to the Constitution, is look

the Radicals that a direct fight with the

to this, we are assured from good att

From face all sad asd white?

Gaze not backward, but look onward
For a sunny "bye-and-bye."
Were some whispered words too cherished?
Was the touch Of lips too sweet?

Never, never more to meet
Never here, carth's poor, vain passion,

But its ashes shall return you
Something purer ''byc-and-b:e."

Were its crushed and Quiv' ring remnants
Calmly thrown you back again?
Calmly too the remnants gather,
Bring them home without sigh,
Sweet returns they yet shall brin3ssyou
In coming ''bye-and-bye."

1Tr. Francis IT. StaJlor, Of this city, af-
ter long and patient series Of experiments,
has finally succeeded in discovering q process
whereby oysters, meats and fruits may be
preserved il fresh state fer an indefinite
period ard il any climate 4 patent has
been obtained, and an incorporated company
is already in process Of organization under
the style Of 1.-THE Food Preserving Compa-
ny for the purpose Ct bringing this discov
cry into general use among The many bust
ness firms who are engaged in putting up
Theoretically scaled oysters, meats, fruits and
Vegetables, for home consumption and for
expectation. The new method Of preserving
these articles N fresh state and without the
application Of heat has already been subject
cd to the soyorest tests Whic are known to
chemists as productive ofrapid decomposition,
and has withstool them all-tho articles SO
treated turning cut as fresh as i they had

The importance Of this discovery consists
in its apparently perfect adaptation Of the

ing th9t the one is easy Of management,
there being no inhicacy about it; whilst the

well that It was difficult to discover any diff

told chat the same process, with slight va
