THERE IS NO DEATH.

There is no death. The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden rain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry mass they bear:
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the yiewless air.
There is no death The leaves may fall -
The leaves may fall and fade away
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death An angel form
Walks O. er the earth with silent tread
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead. +"
he leaves our hearts all desolate-
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird Ike voice whose joyous tone
Made glad this scene of sin and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the trees of life.
And where he sees q smile so bright,
Or hearts too pure for faint or vice,
He bears it to that world of light
To dwell In Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again,
With Joy we welcome them-the same
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near u.s. though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread {;
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there is no death

EXECUTION OF AN ELEPHANT-An An Amer
ican Circus has been travelling about Switzer-
land with great success this summer, but at
Friburg, last month, the male elephant,
over-fatigued by the constant marching, and
irritated by the rough treatment Of bis keep
er, suddenly seized his keeper, and tossing
him to a great height, on his fall crushed his
foot before any assistance could be afforded.
AS it is generally understood that after once
killing man those animals are dangerous,
the director of the circus decided upon hav-
ing it killed, and for that purpose applied to
the authorities of Friburg for piece of can
non. This was granted, and the animal hav-
ing been enticed into favorable position,
the gun was fired and the brute fen dead.

THE CHARACTER OF AMERICAN WOMEN

THE CAHARACTER OF AMERICAN WOMEN.
Some time ago, weekly newspaper in
New York, the Round Table, charged ex-
tensive intemperance upon the women of
America, and, in an elaborate article, at
tempted to prove that intoxication prevailed
to fearful extent among womenip the high
est social circles. Since this charge was
made, there has been an nalmost universal de-
NAL of it on the part of the American press,
and we think it can be said, without any fear
of contradiction, that for sobriety and as ex-
amples of purity and virtue the women of
America may fearlessly challenge compari,
son with their sex in other lands. We feel
sure that, compared with the male sex in
this country, in the matter of sobriety, they
stand out as shining examples.

They Feel Hurt.

1t hurts the opposition at finding that the
soldiers are determined to do their own
thinking and their own voting, and that
they cannot be hoodwinked into voting for
the negro equality candidate, Geary, simply
because he is labelled General. On the
score of bravery and true soldierly qualities,
there are thousands of men in this State
who never rose in the army above the posi-
ton of private, who are better qualified
and entitled to be voted for than that rene
gade. These men despise him for being the
tool of such men as Stevens, Forney andne-
grophobists like them. He is but mere
Soldier of fortune" ready to accept of any
position, provided it pays. Not year since
Geary would have accepted nomination
for Governor at the hands of the Democrats
if. they had been willing to bestow it upon
him. Let any one read his letter to s.
Mcguire if they desire to be convinced of
this. In that he calls himself lifelong"
Democrat. To such a strait have the ne
grophobists come, when they have to take a
poor ''cast off from the Democratic party
to lead them in the present canvass.

gle is an enviable one compared to that of the
man who has ever defended and aided the
national cause. The traitor is elevated to
high official position: he is a Governor
Secretary of the Commonwealth, or at least
District Attorney. The Unionist is prosecuted,
tabooed, cut off not only from office, but also
from justice.
In view of these unnatural positions, the
question suggests ITSELF Are we not breaking
faith with our friends, and sullying our ma
tional honor, by allowing such condition OF
social evils in the conquered territoryP I'm
less we would stand accused in the eye of the
God of nations, and before the Judgment of
the world, we must defend our friends; ;and ifin
so doing we must punish our enemies, then let
them bear the brunt, for it is well deserved.
Better punish six traitors than allow one
Union man to suffer. And yet, in view of all
these facts, the friends of the lenient policy an
nounce the loyalty of the South. Well may
honest, simple minded people wonder where
are the proofs. SHOW us the fruits, and it

ARRIVAL OF GOVERNOR CURTIN.-Our
excellent Chief Executive, ANDREW G.. CUR
TIN, arrived at New York last evening, in
company with his suite. His health has been
almost entirely recovered, which will be mat
ter Of intense qualification to every citizen of

devoted his whole energies to our State affairs
during the most arduous portion OF our his
tory. The great war which has just closed
called for the perfection of craftsmanship and
wisdom, and Governor CURTIN brought to
the task a powerful mind. His incessant
labor, both of body and mind, while he was
going to and from the camps wnere the Penn
sylyania regiments were located, broke down
constitution which was not originally robust;
and he was forced, most reluctantly, to give
up for time the discharge of his official
duties and seek restoration and repose in
short visit to the balmy tropics. He now re-
turns invigorated by his trip, and ready to
recommence his accustomed duties with all his
ardor. For few days he will remain in New
York, recuperating from the exhaustion of
sea-voyage; but few days will find him
again at his post, much to the satisfaction of
those who have business with the State
officials

The Southern Labor Movement.

Aue SOutuerM hHDOF movements
The telegraph announces that a number Of
prominent Southern planters and agricultural
lists have recently visited Cincinnati tor the
purpose of purchasing laBor-saving imple-
ments adapted TO the cultivation of the cotton
growing districts. The larger portion of the
delegation were recently officially attached to
the insurgeut army, and we regard it as a
hopeful sign of coming peaceful relations,
when the unpleasantnesses Of the late war
will be forgotten, and the peaceful avoeations
Of private lite again inaugurated. Consider
ing the condition of the labor of the South, 1t
is clear that for the present, at least, the pro-
duction of cotton and the other cereals is
positively impossible, unless the means are
furnished by the unimpoverished Northern
States. Just now the colored population are
in transition from bondage to freedom, and
until the change is completed we cannot hope
for much reliable labor from the negro until
the proper educational means are brought to
bear upon him. The laboring men OF the
North will, for some years to come, be the
chief stay and reliance of the cotton-grower.
The very men who marched across the States
OF Alabama, Georgia, South and North Caro-
lima, and Virginia, sweeping away the accursed
system of slavery, will be called upon to
restore the waste place, and make the deserts
again bloom and blossom as the rose. Those
whose stern duty it was to destroy will be
privileged to recreate. In the hands of intel
ligent voting freemen the sunny South, re-
lieved OF the dark stain upon its escutcheon,
will bound into new life, and become the
storehOuse whence the vast and growing
cities of the nation will draw the elements of
their manufacturing prosperity and the means
of their daily life.

The Late Polish Insurrection.
AN OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.


General Langiewicz has written some interest
ing letters on the late Polish insuTrection, which,
having appeared in a German paper, are now
copied and extracted by the Official Warsaw
DzieNHik. The insurecuon, he says, occurred
prematurely. The Paris police, having ARE sted
one NJ. Chmelinski ana some other conspirators
VINO were planning rebellion, informed the Gar
that the documents found on their persons left
no doubt the Poles were preparing Tor an out
break. Upon this the Gar, with a vlewto antici-
pate the apprehended insurrection, ordered gem
eral levy to be made, aiming chiefly at the removal
OF those elements OF society which were likely to
JON the enterprise. Thus the revolutionary CON-
mittees were obliged 20 precipltate matters,
or they would have been deprived OF the very in
struments they counted upon. The rebellion
began A litrle later the French Government put
itself INTO communication with the revolutionary
committees, returning a sum of seventy thousand
francs which had been taken from NJ. Chmelin-
ski and assuring them that the late untriendly
proceedings had been occasioned only by the
Polish conspmators being suspected OF eaguing
with French and Italian radicals. When Lam
giewicZ arrived at Warsaw he was astonished at
the extent and methodical organization of the
conspiracy. Twenty thousand men were affiliated
as agents of the secret government. The eX-Dic-
tator, pursuing his subject proceeds to give mill
tary and other particulars, which would not now
be interesting to the general reader, but deserve
some attention Notwithstanding.
