Over the beauty of the plum and apricot
there grows a bloom and beauty more ex-
auisite than the fruit itself-a soft, delicious
flush, that overspreads the blushing cheek.
Now, If you strike your hand over that,
and It Is gone, it Is gone forever, for 1t never
grows but once. The flower that hangs in
the morning, impeaIled with dew-arrayed
as no queenly woman ever was arrayed
with iewels--Once shake it, so that the
beads roll off, and you may sprinkle water
over it as much as you please, yet it can
never be made again what 1t was when the
dew fell silently upon it from heaven. On
frosty morning you may see the panes OF
glass covered with landscapes, mountains,
lakes and trees, blending In beautiful
fantastic picture. Now lay your hand upon
the glass, and by the scratch OF yourr fngeir,
or by the warmth of the palm, ali the deli
cate tracery will be Obliterated. SO there
ia in youth beauty and purity OF chaIac-
ter, which, when once touched and defiled,
can never be restored; a fringe more deli
cate than frOstwork, and which, when torn
and broken, can never be re-embroidered.
A man who has spotted and sOiled his gar
ments in youth, though be may seek to
make them white again, can never wholly
do It, even were he TO wash them with his
tears. When young man leaves his fathers
house with the blessings of mother still
wet upon his forehead, If he once loses that
early purity of character, 1t is a loss that he
can never make whole again. Such Is the
consequence Of crime. Its effects cannot
be eradicated-it can only be forgiven.

In the little town of Dover, which Is sit
uated on the Cumberland river, in Middle
Tennessee, there lived, some years ago, an
eccentric and intemperate bachelor by the
name of Kingston. On one occasion, when
Frustrated on his bed by excess, and suffer-
ing aeutely from those s.ings and horrors
peculiar to his situation. he sent for one OF
his old boon companions to come and visit
him. Shyrack, for that was the others
name, came duly to Kingston's room.

"Shyrack, shut the door,"
"Yes, my dear fellow"
"LOck it,

not to do It." tr

eDon,t: il will be the death of ynu."
Shyrack was quite cool and jocOse, little
dreaming that SO terrible an event was
about to take place.
Kingston had, as the last eccentric act
of his life, taken a chisel and mallet
to bed with him; and now. with the des-
peraCe resolve, ne SelLeu lllo SAtIaOAulHaly
tools of death, and in an instaat drove the
blade of the chisel into his breast!
The hair rose upon Shyrack's head, and
fright spread like sheet of snow over his
face.
"Kingstonl Kingston! my dear fellow
you id rascal; Kingston! do you want
to have me hung? Hold! dOn'tdie till can
call some body!"
Shyrack ran to the door, and called
like madman to some people across the
street.
"Hallo! here! say you. mister! all you
stupid people-make haste over here, or
there'll be a murder!'
The people crowded into Kingston's
house.
ss.Don't die. Kingston! Don't chisel me
that way. Don't die till you tell lne who
did It,"
II did IL ,sysolfr Kingston ariiOulated.
"There, that'll do now, my dear fellow; (;
you may die" replied Shyrack, taking a
long breath, and wiping the perspiration
from his forehead.
And Kingston did die in that extraordi-
nary way as a suicide that was almost a
murder.

fidelity of her people, than their prompt answer
to the call made for military service for domestic
protection. 1t Is q record of witch the great
body OF the people are party, and Of which
they may all be proud.
In july 1864, a Rebel army again crossed the
Potomac threatening the southern border, and
marched to Washington.
Under the pressing demands Of the national
authorities, all the organized troops In Pennsvl-
vana we're Immediately sent forward. The
Rebel army was defeated and driven back. A
Rebel column of three thousand men had how
ever crossed the border, and, on the 3Oth of
July, burned the town of Chambersburg, In
my Message OF last year, stated in detail the
movements OF the enemv and the circumstances
attending the destruction of that borough.
Although the people of all the southern border
suffered much from annual incursions of the
enemy, Chambersburg is the only town entirely
destroyed within our border, and, it is believed
in any loyal State.
The citizens OF the town we're suddenly re-
duced to poverty, and, for time, we're sustained
by the active benevolence of the people OF other
parts OF the State aided by an appropriation of
one hundred thousand dollars from the Com
mouwealth. They have struggled encrgetically
to revive fiom this calamity, but 1t is feared
that few of them win be able to succeed. l sub
nit, therefore, to the wisdom of the Legislature,
whether it would not be proper to extend to tnat
people some additional relIei.
The number of troops furnished the service,
from Pennsy lvania during the Rebellion, may be
stated as follows viz, =

The lendicnls and the Convention.

The lendlicnls and the Convention.
The Nashville Union and Ameyic.D,
says:
While the unhappy radicals were
busy IN abusing the President for his
manly and well-timed protest against
their usrlrpations, they were startled
by another thundcr-clap from the po-
litical horizon-a call for a ''National
Union Convention, to assemble Mt
Philadelphia, on the 14th of August
next, and now the work of restoring
the Union, which they might easily
have accomplished, is to be taken
from their hands. The truth is, the
people are tired of their squabbles
and distrust their motives.
The language Of the call is too Sc
rious for ridicule, too patriotic for
successful attack, and presents too
many grave and pregnant issues to be
lightly ignored. While contemplate
ing this new element Of alarm, the
last drop which fills their cup of mis-
fortunes to overhowing, is the ad-
dress of.the Union Democracy, set
ting forth in clear and explicit Ian
guage the dangers Of the present
hour and the needs of the country,
and accepting with unselfish patriot
ism the national situation, and cor
daily endorsing the principles rs set
forth in the call of the National Union
party. The hand writing on the wall
is growing clearer, and we'll may the
dlsunlon radicals tremble at its signi-
ticance. For seven long months
they have been driving the plow- share
Of disunion through the foundations
OF our institutions, that they may SOW
the dragons teeth in the burrows.
The nation begins to open its eyes to
this worse than profitless labor
begins to obtain true inkling of
their motives in keeping the country
agitated and divided upon the ques-
ton of reunion, and it sickens at
their unmitigatcd sclfishness, at their
moral and political turpitude, and are
preparing earnestly for the struggle
that shall keep them from those
places of trust and power which they
have so long abused

The Work of Recuperation.

Ine city OF Atlanta, like Columbia,
was nearly destroyed by the calami-
ties of war, but she is fast recovering
her former prosperity, through the
energy and practical industry of her
people. Her burnt district is nearly
covered with commodious business
houses, AMI $5O,OOO have already
been subscribed for an opera house
to cost $4,000. The hotels of At
lanta We're all burned; now, VIC see it
stated she has the National" fur
nished equal to any in the country;
the American" the Planters, :"
and one Or two others. Those named
invited the members of q recent
convention held in that city to dine
with them. and a large cigar house
gave the delegates the freedom of
their establishment.
Liberality and success in business
matters very frequently go hand in
hand, and the liberal and wide-awake
spirit Of the business men of Atlanta
Is not only shown in the above men
toned incidents, but is daily mani
tested in the columns of her newspa-
pers in the plethora of advertisements
with which they are filed from day
to day. The we'll filled advertising
columns of city papers are sure in
dices of her energy and success
But Columbia is also heartily en-
gagged in the work of material Gre
construction" Fine, large and elc-
CANT stores, perhaps dozen Of them,
are now i'll process of erection on
Main street, and we hope ere long to
see them filled with heavy stocks of
merchandise, which, wo hope, will
have often to be replenished, and the
sure way to this pleasing necessity is
to advertise liberally with the press
of the city.
Let our people not despair, amid
all the turmoil and disorder they hear
of. There is good time coming,
when, through the steadfast and ear
nest industry of her people, the
South will be blessed with peace and
prosperity.

that negro riot was feared; that the
Governor had issued q proclamation
calling an election to fill vacancies in
the bogus convention, and was in
league with the Republicans; that it
was intended to indict the members
of the convention by the Grand Jury,
and asking ii the President intended
that the military forces Of the United
States should Interfere to prevent the
execution of civil process. The Pre-
sident replied rs follows:

Washington that the deliberations of
the members thereof will receive no
countenance from the President. and
that he will sustain the agents of the
