Was proceeding to argue the points in the case.
Now a lawyer, b Is majesty never had seem
For to his do fninions none ever had been,
And he felt very curious the reason to know
Why none had been sent to the regions below.
Twas the fault Of lis agents his majesty thought,
Why none of these law1 ers had ever been caught,
And for his own pleasure had desire,
To come TO tire earth, and the reason inquire

Well, the lawyer who rose with visage SO grave,
Made out his opponent a consuinmate knave;
And the Devil was really greatly amused,
To hear the attorney greatly abused.
As soon as the speaker had come to n close,
The ecounselopposng then fiereeiy arose,
And heafed such abuse on the head Of the hr rst
And made him villain. of II men the worst
Thus they auarreled, contended and argued so long
Twas ha rd TO determine the one that was wrong,
And conc ludiDg he'd heard quite enough of the fuss
Old Nick turned away and soliloquized thus =
"If all they bays said of each other be true,
Tho Devil has surely been robbed Of bis due
l'm satisfied now, tits all very well,
For the lawyers would ruin the morals OF hell.

And I'm free to confess, they have puzzled the Devil

To the rude red men who were aequaint-

fate that was pursuing him. They be-

they agreed that, whatever should befall
the fatricide, they would never again in

But it was impossible for him always to
remain at home, aud he was compelled
from time to time to venture forth. One
day, when without a gun or arms of any

defended himself with the fury of des-
peration, by means of stick but he
was quickly overcome, and fell a victim

The True Issue,

a tf The True Issue.
As the political campaign for the Con-
gressional elections opens it is essential to
remember that the paramount question is
still the reconstruction of the Union
The proposed tariff will be both vigor-
ously attacked and defended within the
lines of the Union party but the tariff
question, however vital to our prosperity
when united, is necessarily secondary to
that of Union itself We have no right
therefore, to allow our feelings and con-
victions upon that subject to influence
our action upon one which is more i'm
portant. To vote for a candidate who is
opposed to protection, or who is an abso-
lutte free. trader, but who thinks that Con :.
gress has no right to prescribe conditions
for the restoration of the late rebel States
to their full relations in the Union, is to
prefer the lesser question to the greater.
Itis always possible to revise or repeal
tariff But the conditions upon which
reorganization is to be founded can nei-
ther be amended nor abolished.
z The vital bond of the Union party is
not financial but political. Those who
hold with the Tribune for industrial pro-
faction for ;nSta NJ oo5 or ,u;th H.
Post for industrial freedom, are both
working together for certain great polit-
ical results which can be achieved only
by their faithful union. If, therefore, in
any Union districts the friends of the
tribune should say that they would vote
only for candidate who favored protec-
ton, and those of the Post that they
would vote for Copperhead rather than
Protectionist, they would give that dis
triet to tha common enemy, and be re-
sponsible for the consequences. uallao
ID OF course it is the duty of our friends
in Congress to make our burdens of this
kind light. They can not honorably for
get that the Union party is neither free
trade nor protective party. The heart.
lest Union men differ radically upon the
tariff question, Whatever, therefore, by
serious changes in the system, tends to
excite feeling and acrimonious debate
upon this subject tends to division or
paralysis of the psrty. Thus to increase
the rate of duties SO materially that they
become virtually protective or prohibi.
tive, and to pass the bill by party vote,
is, SO far, to identify the policy of the
Union party with protection, policy
which vast numbers Of the party can not
and will not support. Such an act is a
stupendous political blunder. ~
Butif Congress makes SO gross a mis-
take it need not be repeated by the party
itself. Every individual Union man
should reflect that such an issue is not a
party question, and while he would natu
rally prefer Representative who sympa-
thized with his views upon the subject,
he must not forget that It is still better to
take candidate who is wrong upon the
tariff than one who is wrong upon recon,
stfuction. Our taxes must De high for
many years to come. But we do not
complain, because, we say, they are the
price of on national unity. Let us then
first certainly secure that unity, and then
we can proceed TO discuss how we may
most easily pay the taxes.-Harper'.

none of their allegiance to their old party
