sUMMER AND WINTER.

The winter goes and the summer comes,
And the cloud descends in warm, wit showers
The grass grows green where the frost has been,
And waste and wayside arc fringed with fowers-
The winter goes and the summer comes,
And the merry bluebirds twitter and tr;ii-
And the swallow swings on his steel-blue wings,
This way and that way, at widest will.
The winter goes and the summer comes,
And the swallow swiugeth no moss slc.t,
And the bluebrd's breast swels out OF aer nest
And the horniest bill of them ali grows SOFT
The sumner goes and the winter comes,
And the daisy dies and the datodil dies,
And the softast bill grows horny and still,
And the days Sc. dimly and dimly rise.
The sumner goes and the winter comes,
And the red-tr fades from the heart Of the rose,
And the snow lies white where the grass was bright,
And the wild winter bitterly blows and blows.
The winter comes and the winter stavs,
Av, cold and long, and long and cold,
And the pulses beat 10 the weary feet,
And the head feel: sick and the heart grows cold.
The winter comes and the winter stays,
And all the glory behind Us lies,
The CHEEKY light drops into the night,
And the snow drifts over our sightless eyes,

A REPUBLICAN COMMENTARY.

The reader can scarcely have forgotten the
forcible objections made in debate, against the
miscalled Constitutional amendment last sub
mittcd by the Radical party to the States-that
Of conioining several incongruous propositions
in one, and asking that the whole dose be swal-
lowed, no matter how bitter some Of its ingre-
dents may be.
Mr. George w. Weston, leading Republi-
can in times past, and vigorous newspaper
editor, has written letter of great power 20 the
editor Of the New York Tribune in opposition
to the Radical ncs.rum. He shows how madly,
by wide-sweeping clause of sixteen words, the
party propose totally to revolutionizo the judi
cial system of a great empire.
The writer happily contrasts thehberalc course
Of certain foreign governments, at the close Of
important struggles for power, with the vindic-
tive policy now pressed upon the attention Of
the people. When the allies entered Paris, af-
ter the battle OF Waterloo and the fall of Napo-
leon, although measures Of severity were urged,
yet in country with population three times
larger than that of the South, only three persons
were executed, and ffty-eight banished. The
predetermined Stevens and the ferocious Wade
if allowed full swing, would open up he'll itself
for the whole South.
Mr.. Weston sumsup with strong paragraph
against the proposed amendment. Presented
to be ratified or rejected as whole, he says
there is no alternative but to reject it, trusting
to the future to save what is good in it.
"The preservation Of the Union itselfiSeven
of more importance than the exact adjustment
Of the balance of power within the Union
The reconstruction Of the Southern States, and
especially of the lower Southern States, upon
the basis of this amendment, is simply impos-
sble To adopt it is to insure war with them
at the first moment that any political change,
internal or external, renders it practicable for
them to renew hostilities The terms Of settle
-,ncnt which are offered gre sbanlsfl bofb 10 tlc
rictors and the cGaquisEcd, and are more so to
us than to them"
Such views will be found to animate and in
fuence thousands OF far-minded Republicans
throughout the country.

THEREBELS AS BELLIGERENTs

Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, the acknowl-
edged leader of the extremists in Congress, on
the Gthinstant made an explanation of his views
on secession, which, coming from one who is
considered a clcar-hcaded lawyer, may be deem
ed of great importance. He had always denied
the right of secession, and denounced it as the
highest crime known to the law; yet he held
that the Confederates did establish and main
tain separate and distinct government detdcto,
for four years; and that during all that time,
after they had risen from the condition Of IN
surgents, the lar Of nations decIaredttem to be
q JelIigerem engaged in public war; and that
all the rules of war, regulating their rights and
liabilities, applied to them; and that we stood
upon the same footing as two foreign nations
engaged in open war; and that the civilized
world treated the Confederate States as belliS-
crcnt, and it is worse than falsehood to deny
&af ,ce so acknowledged them.
Without following Mr.. Stevens further
through his explanation, we may ask what in
this aspect of tie case, becomes of the indict-
ment for treason against Jefferson Davis and
John c. Breckenridge, for acts claimed to have
been done in 1864, more than two years after
the people they led had risen from the condi-
ton Of insurgents ?" The authority Of Sc dis
tiuSuishcd an expoundcr as Mr. Stevens will no
doubt be cited when the trial for treason comes

THE END OF A GAMBLER.

sesscd one of the best estates in Northumbs.-
land, the whole Of which he lest at hazard, IN

Of this madman-for we can call him nothiEg
ese-when he had just completed the loss OF
his last acre, at a gambling house in London.
and was proceeding down stairs 10 throw hirr-
self in carriage to convey him homo to his
house in town, he resolved upon having ono
more throw to try to retrieve his losses. and
Immediately returned to the room where tho
play was going on. Nerved for the worst that
might happen In insisted that thn peysea no

chance of recovery or fight with him.
His proposition was this: That his carriage
and horses, the trinkets and loose money in his
pockets, his town house, plate and furniture
in short all that he had left in the world should
be valued in a lump at certain sum andthrown

from his purpose. lie threw, and lost; then.
conducting the winner to the door, he told tho
coachman there was his master, and marched
forth into the dark and dismal streets, without
house or home, or any one creditable means of
support. Thus begeared, he retired to an OBJ
scure lodging in a cheap part of the town, sub
sisting partly on charity, sometimes acting as
the marker at billiard table, and occasionally
as a helper in livery stable.
In this miserable condition, with nakedness
and famine staring him in the face, exposed to
the taudts and insults of those whom he had
once supported, he was recognized by an old
friend, who gave him ten guineas to purchase
necessaries. Heexpended fyein procuring de-
cent apparel; with tho remaining hye he re-
paired to a common gaming touse and increas-
