without knowing what she does, the
little girl opens the Bible as it lay on
her mothers knee; she turns her
laughing face away and places her
finger upon a line.
That awful silence grows deeper
The deep drawn breath of the brother
and broken gasp of the murderer, alone
disturbed the stiffness. The widow
and the dark haired boy were breath
less. The little girl, unconscious as
she was, caught feeling Of awe from
the countenances around her and stood
breathless, her face turned aside, and
her tiny finger resting On that line Of
life or death.
At length gathering courage, the
widow bent her eyes to the page and
read. 1t was a line from the New
Testament
"Lore your enemlcsy"
Oh, book of terrible majesty and
child-like love-of sublimity til a I
crusnes the soul into awe-of beauty
that melts the heart with rapture

The Loyal Convention at Phil
adeIDhia.

Inc convention of Southern Lovalists
assembled in Philadelphia on Monday.
and the day was gala one. There was
a profuse display of bunting throughout
the city. The Southern delegates were
received in independence square and
were escorted to the Union League House
by large procession composed of the
Boys IN Blue, Union League, National
Union club, tiremen and citizens gener-
ally. Then there was speech of welcome
by Hon. Charles Gibbons, and n renIv
from Gov. Hamilton, of Texas. The del
egates next proceeded to National Hall.
where the convention was temporarily
organized, by the selection of Hon. T.
}. Durant, of Louisiana, as President
After the appointment of committees on
credentials and permanent organization.
the body adjourned till Tuesday morning.
when EX-Attorney-General Speed, of
KY, was made permanent President of
the Convention, and Gov. BrownIow, of
Tennessee, permanent Vice-P President.
A convention of delegates met simulta-
neously with the Southern Convention
at the Union League House. 1t was COM
posed of the loyal Governors, members of
Congress and delegates from the loyaI
States.
Distinguished men were in the conven-
ton from every part of our broad land.
The following is a synopsis of the reso-
lutiOns adopted:
The resolutions reported by the Com
mlttee on Resolutions were read Thpv
state that the loyal people of the South
cordially unite with the people of the
\ orth in congratulation over thesuppres-
sion OF the rebellion ; that we demand res
toratiOn of the rights Of the States upon
the feWest and simplest conditions con-
sistent with our lives and the security of
our property; that the policy of the Pres
Ident Is oppressive and intOlerant on the
people Of the South; they tend TO magni-
fy the sorrows and perils of their condi-
ton that with gratitude to the loyalty of
Congress we will stand by them in all
measures to adopt the Constitutional
and only regret that Con-
gress did not go further in the matter
that the political status of the State is
clearly within the control Of Congress in
dependent OF any other department OF the
that there is no right to Sc
cede inherent in any State in the Union;
that we are unalterably in favor of the
Union of the States and the establishment
in them of governments, to carry on all
laws for the protection Of all citizens and
the guaranteeing to all of every race and
color the rights to which they are enti-
tied; and the organizations Of unrepre-
sented States are not legitimate govern
ments till recognized by Congress; that
the welcome we have received from the
citizens of Philadelphia inspires Us with |
hope that the principles of the foundation |
of this Government shall be the corner .
stone Of its reconstruction that we will |
emulate all the acts of Abraham Lincoln: /
that we sympathiZe with all people in all (
countries struggling for freedom: that the /
gratitude of the Nation is due to the men /
who made the great army of the Republic, /
and we will stand by them in securing /
the fruits Of their victories.

Preserving Green Corn.-To. E. F.
Green, Kalamazoo, Mich We have
tried various methods of bottling and
canning green corn, but. never with
satisfactory results. We have also
eaten that put up by those who make
a business Of canning fruits and vege-
tables, but the corn was always poor,
to our taste We know of no way to
put up green corn successfully, except
to cook it on the ears, then shave off
and dry it in a strong sunlight, or by
the fire, or in the oven. Preserved in
this way it is very palatabIe at sea-
son when green vegetables are scarce.
Hcatt"y Bottles f0r Fruit" Subscri-
ber," of Columbus, n J., writes that
she washes and wipes the jars dry,
and then set them in the oven until
too hot.tO handle without a cloth. As
wanted they are taken out, set on a
warm board, and the hot fruit pored
in. In this way she has broken ONLY
one bottle in three years. By the hot
water plan, described on page 262
(July,) we have not broken one in put
ting up the last four hundred.
Red Aats.--After our safes, cup
boards, etc, are washed and wiped as
dry as they can be with a wrung out
cloth, we sprinkle on salt and rub it
well into the wood and all the cracks
and cre7ices with the same damp cloth,
and have found it effectual against the
ants-E. Carr, ~ H.

\ correspondent gives us an account of
a "bread and butter democracy meeting
at the railroad station opposite McVey-
town, the other evening, where to show
their superiority a stand was erected i'm
mediately in front of a c0i0rcd n1dn'8
residence! The audience having imbibed
and filled their pocket pistols with demo-
cratic ammunition, took their seats in
ShecD's pen near the stand AS may be
imagined, the effect on the speaker, An
drew Reed, Esq, was electrical, and he
pounded the poor nigger until he con-
vinced every white man present that
decent negro was poor shoat by the side
Of any drunken blackguard white, and
that the latter was by far the best man,
both in law and gospel" Our correspon-
dent adds he "hopes some more such
meetings will be held, as Johnson's crazy
speeches on one hand, and nigger speech
es from his satellites on the other, are
fast driving sensible men to voting the
republican ticket from head to foot"
