Slope of shady woodland,
Waters softly flowing
Part in golden sunlight,
Part in shadow sleeping,
Blushed this little wild-rcse,
Dewy tear drops weeping.

Murmured by the dearest;
Little rose tho faded,
That sweet voice thou nearest:

Watch Orion cleaning,
Kiss the faded petals

Will Congress Meet the Issue 2

The President has thrown down the
gauntlet and offered battle to the 10y.
al people of the country with brute
courage worthy of u Roman gladiator
He has announced his determination
to rule them aud overrule their Con-
gress, and il now remains for Congress
TO meet him, not merely with mega.
tive or procrastinating policy, but
with a position as sharply defined aud
positive as his own. The President
plants himself on the principle that,
the war being over. the States should
be represented in Congress. Let Con-
gress not dispute that principle, but
plant itself on the still broader princi-
pie that, slavery being abolished, the
whole people of the Southern States
must be represented in the State and
Federal Governments. After all. the
great issue between the President aud
Congress is whether, after abolishing
social slavery. the American people
will re-cstablish the Union with the
shield of the Government, the flag of
the Republic and the panoply Of State.
Rights thrown over the political slave.

Ex-President Pierce and PARTY.

Mr.. Pierce has made a speech. Only
aportion of it has reached us--a deli.
cate tit.bit-a crumb of old age wis
dom--the quintessence of long and
varied experience--a sort Of aphorism
bursting with sagacity-a barrel of
political philosophy boiled down to a
pint--a recipe, in small, for all the
country's complaints-and very kind
it was to let us know that a blessed
change" awaits the land, when
people will be brought to look to some.
thing higher than the perpetuation OF
party power" This is a singular
confession to come from one born OF
party, nursed by party, rescued from
obscnrity by party, and also, we must
confess, remandcd to obscurity by the
same agency. 1t is certainly an odd
enough remark TO be made in caucus,
and the question will arise what Gen.
Pierce was doing at the caucus at all !?
But we remember the poor fox who
lost bis tail in trap, and who, in full
convention of his fellow.foxes advised
them all to have their flapers amputa-
ted. Not that there may not be some
truth in Gen. Pierce's remark-only
he has been such a weary long while
in arriving at il /! II he could only
have been as wise at twenty.one |!
There are -four years in the history of
the United States which might have
been brighter.
Perhaps, as sincere penitent, il
would become Mr.. Pierce TO issue
sort of circular letter to his old cronies,
If he can forgive their descrtion, sta
ting succinctly his new views, and
advising his brethren to act upon them.
lie must know that desperate at
tempt Is now and has been for some
time on foo. To resuscitate the Demo
cratic party that Cox thisks there is

OF the same opinion f; that Gov. Sey-
mour does not despair of it that
none OF these worthless have any no.
tion OF going ont of the old business,
1t 1t can, by hook or by crook, be
made to pay. Mr.. Pierce may not
think the party of his old affections
worth saving ; but such is not the
opinion of his ancient colleagues.
Meanwhile. if he will make no more
caneus speeches. it will be pleasure
to us to count him out, and never tn
mention his name in connection with
politics again.

THE MEAN DEACON;
OR,
HOBBS VERSUS BROWN.
~ MRS NJ. A. DENisoN.

Deacon Hobbs was devoutly good
man, and had but one serious fault.
He was mean. Meanness seemed in.
bred--grained into the very bones aud
marrow-twisted into the ligaments,
muscles and veins. permcating every
part Of his body--in fact he was mean
all thraugh, while at the same time.
perhaps he din't mean to be, but il
came naturally. He couldn't help it.
1t happened one time that the old
deacon wanted to ride trifle OF twen-
ty miles or so,-ihis took place way
up in Vermont, and he Md no good,
strong, stout wagon in which to de-
posit his valuable body.--he was
worth forty thousand, they said, but
bran new chaise which he couldn't
think Of using.
A little distance off lived Deacon
Brown, a big-hearted, generous. noble
souled fellow, who was always accom-.
modating his neighbors, and always
suffering for it. as is generally the
case. To him. "being as Jerry waits
on Sary, "soliloquized the deacon, I'll
go and 5orry his fourwheeled wagon
So over to Deacon Browns posted
Deacon Hobbs, met Jerry at the door
a handsome farmers lad was Jerry
and Was presently standing in farmer
Browns ample kitchen, where he made
known his request.
