THE MICE IN COUNCIL.

Once upon time, the Mice being sadly
distressed by the persecution Of the Cat,
resolved to call meeting, to decide upon
the best means Of getting rid Of this con
tinual annoyance. Many plans were dis
cussed and rejected; at last a young Mouse
got up and proposed that Bell should be
hung round the Cats neck, that they
might for the future always have notice
of her coming, and SO be able to escape.
This proposition was hailed with the
greatest applause, and was agreed to at
once unanimously. Upon which an old
Mouse, who had sat silent all the while,
got up and said that he considered the
contrivance most ingenious, and that it
would, no doubt, be quite successful but
he had only one short question to put,
namely, which of them it was who would

NAV remove the marks of battle from the
objects around-the lost may be replaced
in numerical calculations, but there will
stand the granite monument over the
bones of the fallen, which has been rear
ed by grateful people, looking down up
on the pilgrim to its base with solemn
majesty and grandeur, beitting mauso-
lcum commemorating the valor and deeds
of the heroic dead. Where the tocsin of
war sounded and vast armies met in dead
ly combat, avocations of peace are pursued
and public tranquility is unbroken by the
clashing of swords. Thousands Of christ
ian patriots visit the spot with as much
reverence as though they were treadlng
the soil on which the Saviour OF Peace
performed His holy mission, for the noun
tains round about Gettysburg have be-
come as impressive and awful as those
which environ the suburbs of Jerusalem.
The lessons taught by the war just
closed ought to be Of incalculable benefit
to the nation, and to mankind generally
The supremacy Of law has been sustained,
and the power Of Constitutional right de-
Tended. The maintenance of these has
cost rivers of blood and thousands OF lives
as holocaust to freedom, but the strug-
gle will secure a permanent peace for
ages to come, forging the sword into plow-
shares, and the bayonet into pruning
hooks. And may this spot be preserved
as a hallowed shrine to which our chill
dren and their posterity, to the remotest
period, may come from their homes on
the far-off shores of the Pacific, and min
gle their rejoicings with those of the At
lantic-and, gazing upon the memento
which mercy and charity have reared,
thank God that peace has taken the place
of war. Truly, then, will the pen become
mightier than the sword, and its teach
ings inspire the nations of the earth with
just appreciation Of Christian duty and
love toward each other.

Two SHARP ONEs.-As an instance of
sharp practice, it is recently related that
merchant, coming to this country, went
to an insurance Office in London, and wish.
ed to insure, separately, one thousand ci.
gars, valued at R200, against loss by water
or fire. The insurance was agreed to-
After the lapse Of six months, he made
his appearance at the insuranes office and
demanded his money, as the sigars had
been all burned. ssBut not on board the
vessel, sir" said the secretary, sfor she's
in dock now" sYes, on board the vessel:
| smoked them, and, therefore, burned
them all myself, and the insurance saws
against fire." The secretary seemed taken
aback, and had nothing to say, 50 the
merchant said he would call the next dsy
for his money, and the next day he called,
but was met by the solicitor ofthe company,
who told him if he did not relinuuish his
claim, he would be prosecuted a. one who
had knowingly and willfally set fire TO
goods insured bythe company. The bitter
was bitten.

THE ASS AND HIS DRIVER.

An ASS that was being driven along
the road by his Master, started on ahead,
and, leaving the beaten track, made as
fast as he could for the edge of precl-
pice. When he was just on the point OF
falling over, his Master ran up, and selz-
ing him by the tail, endeavored to pull him
back; but the Ass resisting and pulling the
contrary way, the man let go his hold,
saying, "Well Jack, if you will be master,
can not help it. A willful beast must

President johnson and the Radicals.

Events are now tranSplrlnS IN the Otncr
hemisphere, fraught with the destiny of a
gallant race, and important to all civilized ma
tions of the world On Monday week the
Congress of the United States assembled at
Washington, and the contest between conserv
atism and radicalisn has by this time been de.
cided. The President with a true magnanm-
ity, generosity and craftsmanship for which
we accord him the greatest credit, as our first
impressions were against him, had determined
to reconstruct the Union and once more to
form ssterhood of States. lii measures for
insuring this grand result, and for blotting
out in happy forgetfulness the sad scenes of
the past, were based upon thorough knowl-
edge of human nature.
The attempt of the Northern radicals in
Cong.ess to gain their object by a perversion
Of the Constitution is an effort to accomplish
by trckcry and fortuitous circumstances the
complete annihilaton of political power in the
hands of the Southern whites, and it's transfer
nominaly to the debased freed slaves, but really
to the military satraps and other officials which
the greedy North will send down to prey upon
an already impoverished and oppressed people.
The test has been made, and we shall soon
learn whether the President stands his ground
in favor of the Constitution and the equality
of the Southern whites, or whether bending
beneath the power which threatens him, he
has consented to place the victims in the chands
of blood thirsty faction.
The return of the Southern States to Con-
gress would put the radicals in a minority, and
they are unwilling to yield the power which
they have held for four years. They arc the
red republicans of the French Revolution i'll
a new guisc and their success must bring
commercial disasters upon their own country,
the reflex wave Of which will sweep upon us
and bring misfortune in its train. Every
thinking man must cast his wishes in the scale
of that policy which would bring peace and
prosperity, and we cannot but hope that Prov
idcnce may in some way avert the dangers
looming up in such grand proportions, and
may give to President johnson the moral
courage to resist and the power to overcome
the dangerous faction, which will ruin the
United States and involve other countries in

were guilty of the crime of moral treason.
We respectfully suggest that j. is a misno-
n,cr to call the late war rebellion" which
is defined to be remuneration of the author
ity of the Government to which one owes al
legiancc" All must agree that we owe some
sort Of allegiance to our States, for they can
undoubtedly punish for treason, and that allie
glance the Southern people did not re
nounce." If the States had the right to Sc
cede then it was clearly war between indo-
pendent powers. If they had not that right,
neither did the other States have the right to
cocrce a State. Nothing indicating such
right exists in the Constitution. 1t is well
known that the trainers of that instrument re-
fused to incorporate such power, so that in
any view it was war Of States outside of the
CONSTITUTIONAL war on the one side for indie
pendcncc, and on the other to prevent it. But
even if the States had not the right to sccedc,
and those which did not sccede had the right
under the Constitution to coerce the seeding
States, yet in the conflict, the seeding States
did as matter Of fact exact the obedience OF
their citizens, and therefore such obedience
cannot be made treason. Even in England,
which is not famed for lenency to opposers of
authority it is we'll settled that obedience and
assistance to b" de facto government is not
treason. Mr.. Blackstone says: The true
distinction seems to be that the statute of
Henry the Seventh does by no means com
mand any opposition to a King dyurc but ex-
cuscs the obedience paid to a King ode facto." :"
When therefore an usurpcr is in possession
the subject is excused and justified in obeying
and giving him assistance; otherwise under
an usurpation no man could be safe; if the
lawful prince had right to hang him for obe-
dicnce to tho powers in bcing, as the usuIpcT
would certainly do for disobedience.
Rebellion! foul dshonoring word.
Whose wrongful blight so oft has stained
The holcst cause that tongue Or sword
or mortal ever lost gained.
How manya spirit born to bless
Hath sunk beneath that whitening name
Whom hut days, an hours success
Had waited to eternal fame"
