find fault, We are able on good au-
thority, to commend their good con
duct on the occasion.

D4- Allen NJ. was rough specimen
of q backwoodsman, and when he came
to school, the biggest boy in the lot
and hardly knowing his letters, his
schoolmates were disposed to make a
butt of him, but his shrewd natural
sense, his imperturbable good nature, so
long as they confined themselves to
mere raillery, and, perhaps, equally
with these, the sledge-h hammer blows
with which he responded TO an insult,
soon won their respect, In due time
he was enrolled in the debating socie-
ty, and he never failed to enliven the
debate by some original remark upon
the side on which fortune placed him
for this was decided by lot. One night
very dull subject was on the tapis
the discussion dragged the speakers
bored and bored, but struck nothing,
and bets were offered that even Allen
would be nonplussed. AT length his

coppERHEAp HONESTY.

We are credibly informed that certain
copperhead collector of the four dollar
communication money waited upon a widow
lady in Sycamore township, this county,
recently, aud compelled her to pay Sc. so
for her son. The boy had been in the
service, and the mother supposed he was
exempt; not being conversant with the
provisions of the law, she did not know
what was required of her. But he did
not stop here-he was determined to make
all laws passed for the support of the Gov
ernment against the efforts of his party to
destroy it, as odious as possible; hence he
informed the lady alluded to that if she
did not repair at once to the Office of the
U. S. Assessor and make report of her in
come, a penalty of fifty per cent. would be
added. The consequence was, she hast
ened to this place, arriving after dark and
returning home the same night, when the
truth was, and he knew it, the lady might
have reported at her leisure any time with
in two OF three weeks from the time he
saw her. f"
A party must be hard up when it is
compelled to resort to measures SO con-
temptibly small to manufacture capital
against its opponents. "Oh, shame, where

A .sCLUBo WITH The WRONG NAME.

=
We have received copy of "Document
No. l, National johnson Club, pamph-
let of sixteen pages, containing the address
of the "National johnson Club" and the
testimony of Alexander H. Stevens before
the Reconstruction Committee. On the
seventh page we find a list of the officers
of the "National johnson Club" which
shows that it is composed of politicians,
known to the public, in our recent politics,
as copperheads. Among the s.Executive
Committee" is Thomas B. Florence, per-
son notorious during the war for his vio-
lent and indecent abuse of Mr.. Lincoln,
and of the Union cause, in an obscure
journal, the Washington Constitution,
which was the organ at the capital, of the
Maryland secessionists. Also James G.
Berrett, who is best remembered as having
been for while an inmate of Fort Lafay-
ette. Among the vice presidents are Sauls-
bury, of Delaware, whose political record
is known; Asa Packer, of Pennsylvania,
who opposed the filling up of the armies
and the enforcement of the conscription
laws;7 Augustus Caesar Dodge, of Iowa,
who was during the war, threatened with
arrest for his violent and seditious conduct,
and was notorious as bitter copperhead
and peace man; General George w. Nor
gan, who after quitting the army in dis
gust for some slight, became the supporter
of Vallandigham; James Guthrie, of KY,
who was one of the Committee on Reso-
lutions in the Chicago convention; j. E.
Mcdonald, of Indiana, defeated copper
head politician during the war; with other
persons who spoke or wrote and voted in
favor of Mcclellan and Pendleton, arnis-
tice and submission, at the late Presiden-
tial election, and whose political influence
thus helped to protract the war, by CIV
ing encouragement and fresh hopes to the
rebels.
70 make this huge joke perfect, it needs
only that the World, which called Mr..
johnson drunken sot, vulgar tailor,
and likened him to Caligula's horse, should
be appointed the official organ of this ''Na-
neutrality-suspicious. Club
Of course Mr.. johnson knows nothing
about this misuse of his name by parcel
of shipwrecked politicians, who evidently
mean to use their 'Johnson Club" as a
kind of raft on which they hope to drift
into safe harbor. These politicians have
SO long pursuaded themselves that the
people of this country are fools, that they
now believe even this transparent trick
will take in the ''shallow multitude" as
they think it. But the people laugh at
them and despise them; and they would
despise the President if they believed that
he chose his political associates and friends
among such men as Tom Florence, Mayor
Berrett, Senator Salisbury; Augustus Cie-
sar Dodge and James Guthrie, men who,
when the country was attacked and in
danger, had only fair words for its enc
mics, and only abuse and encouragement
for its defenders-M Y. Post.

ROMANCE.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

By OLlN Eh WENDELL HOLMES.
Obi she was maid Of laughing eye,
And she lived in garret cold and high,
And he was threadbare whiskered beau,
And he lived in cellar damp and low.
But the rosy boy of the cherub wing
Has many a shaft in his slender string,
And the youth below and the maid above
Were touched with the flashing darts of love.
And she would wake from her troubled sleep
Der his tender billet-doux to weep;
Or stand like a statue cold and fair,
And gaze on lock of bright red hair.
And he who was so tall and proud,
With his step SO firm and his laugh so loud,
His beard grew long and his face grew thin,
And he pined in solitude over his gin.
But one soft night in the month of June,
As she lay in the light Of a cloudless moon,
A voice came floating soft and clear,
To the startled maiden's listening ear
Oh, then from her cresking couch she sprung
And her tangled tresses back she flung; 20 :
She looked from the window far below,
And he stood below, her wiskered beaul
She did not start with foolish frowD,
But packed her trunk and scampered down,
And there was her lover, tall and true,
In his treadbare coat of the brightest blue.
The star that rose in the evening shade,
Looked sadly down on a weeping maid;
The sun that came in his morning pride.
Shed golden light DER laughing bride.

The Albany Jownal says of Wendell
Phillips He sits under polished mahoga-
ny, eats off beautiful chairs and solid sill
yer, and buries his slippers in the soft pile
of velvet carpets fit for the parlor Of a
prince. He has never been known to de-
ny himself for purposes of charity. II,
during the wal, he contributed to raise a
regiment or support a soldiers family, we
have yet to learn it. If he made any do
nation from his abundant wealth to the
fund for supporting the freedmen at the
South, we stand ready to record the fact
upon sufficient proof. This book-work
philosopher and theoretic humanitarian
nurses panegyrics of labor in an atmosphere
of dantiest luxury, and composes eulogies
upon poverty with all the surroundings of
enormous afiuence.
