JOY ooMBTH IN THE MO BN1Na.

=
By WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Oh, deem not they are best alone
Whose lives q peaceful tenor keep;
For God, who pities man, hath shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep.
The light of smiles shall fill again
The lids that overflow with tears:
And weary hours Of woe and paiu
Are promises of happier years.
There is day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night
And grief may hide an evening guest,
But Joy shall come with early light.
Nor let che good mans trust depart,
Though life its common gifts deny;
Though with pierced and broken heart,
And spp-ned of. men he goes to die.
For God hath marked each sorrowine day
Aud nambered every seoret tear.
And heavens long age of bliss shall pay
For all kis children suffer here.

The Constitutional Amendment.

Ihe Unconstitutional Amendment.
"A NEW VIEW FROM A NOVEL STANDPOINT
SPERcH OF Hort A, J. REqUIER, OF
SoUTH ChRoLaNA, sn BnooxLYN.
One Of the most remarkable speech
es delivered at the North during the
hot political canvass Just closed, was
from the lips Of Sudge ReqUier, no
tive of South Carolina, subsequently
the United States District Attorney
and Confederate States Attorney for
Alabama, and since the war lawyer
IN New York city, where in a few
monthss although at FIRST stranger,
he has Suilt up reputation of which
any nan may be proud Distinguish
ed for his great ability ase lawyer,
hisMonderful ;ana1ytical powers have
been brought to bear on the Constitu.
tional Amendment, and notwithstand-
ing the searching and conclusive expo
sure as a gross political fraud to which
ithas been subjected by Seymour,
Browning, Comstock and others, Judge
Reauier throws upon it new light
which strikes to the very reots ef the
national controversy, and demonstrates
at once the injustice and illegaity of
the proposed measure. He aaan.
tains: s
q First That an organization which
is based in the purpose OF enforcing
moral ideas by law is, under tire Con-
stitution of the United States, which
positively interdicts that field to the
Legislator, and from the very necessity
of the ease. conspiracy against that
Constitution, and not, iaany case, a
political party under it.. Henoe that
the whole Radical party is, legally
considered, q tremendous conspiracy,
the inevitable tendency ofwhose ad-
mitted object is to destroy the Govern
ment provided by the Constitution,
and to substitute for IL Government
Of Church and State.
Secondly: That this conspiracy
have no right to propose either the
amendment in question, or any other
conditions TO the Southern States, as
the terms on which they will restore
TO those States, their representation in
the Senate, baeayse that representa-
tion has not only never been lawfully
taken away, the Constitution having
placed this privilege of the States, by
express exception. in the amendatory
clause, beyond even the power Of
amendment. 1t follows that what
even q regularly proposed and adopt
ed amendment could not do, tho act of
Mr. Mcpherson did not accomplish !;
and that hence the offer of the Rump
Congress to restore to the South what
they have not taken, and cannot con-
stitutionalfy take from, the South, is
simply an offer to restore stolen proper
ty TO the rightful owner, upon condi-
items prescribed by The thief, and are
only an aggraSation offhee outrage

The KIDNEYS

The kidneys are two in number, sit
uated at the upper part of the loin,
surrounded by fat, and consisting of
three parts, Wig: the anterior, the in
terror, and the exterior.
The anterior absorbs; the interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve as deposit for the
urine, and convey it to the exterior; the exterior
is conductor also, term minating in single tute,
and called the ureter; the uressrs are connected
with the bladder.
s. The bladder is composed of various
coverings or tissues, divided into parts: viz the
upper, the lower, the nervous. and the mucous.
The upper expels. the lower retains. Many have
desire to urinate without the ability. others u
rinate without the ability to retain. This fro
quently occurs in children.
To cure these affections we must
bring into action the muscles. which are engaged
in their various functions. If they are neglected
Gravel and Dropsy may ensue,

that however slight may be the attack ii is sure

The Copperlead- minority OF the S,nate,
seeking for a pretence TO cover up their trea-
senabe record, aud especially tile record of
Mr. Cymer, their candidate for Governor
during the war, have commenced the cam
paign by an ottempted fraId--so weak that
it is only an attempt, a pamphlet entitled
negro suffrage IN The State Of PsRnsgtrd
MA, was prepared by the cunning Boards
lee, and his toyoiist colleagues have been
busy for several days secretly circulating
this document at the expense OF the State.
1t is made up of garing mistatements of the
record and outside of it. On Thursday
Senator Hall came across one of these pamph-
lets and called the attention of the Senate
and the State to the tra,at--when the csae-
ning Beardslee got up and admitted that
the pamphlet contained a deliberate false
hood as to Mr.. Hall-but excused himself
by stating that it could do no harm. Thus
the Copperheads are caught in fraud No. /.
Measure Mr.. Hester Glymer and his Sena-
tOrial party, that it is not in their power to
keep from the people their record. Clymer
never cast a vote for the Government dur
ing the war. He was always against the
Union soldier in the field and the party
that sustained that Union soldier at home.
He must face the music. Mr. Wallace says
C1yilcT Is W uItSCh we dSTcS Will
and think the sooner he begins the attack
on his own record the better The man
who voted against every measure lntr oduced
in the State Senate during the war, calcula-
ted to sustain either State or National Gov
ernment, is in asplendid condition to attack
the hero and patriot who followed his eoun-
try S flag over every field of the war. At
tack, Mr.. Clymer, please do?
This purported view of Negro Suffrage
IN the State Of Pennsylvania, gotten out
thus early, and so replete with falsehoOds, is
fair sample OF the manner and mode in
which the can paign for Governor is to be
conducted by the eopperheads. The peo
pie at large can form a proper estimate OF
the leaders OF party. when those leaders,
while occupying seats in body composed
of respectable and honorable men, deliber-
ately get to work to niisrepresent the grave
ly expressed views Of their colleagues. The
| history of Democratic political chicanery
| contains nothing to equal this last act of
desperate, absolute Justification. And what
| Is even worse, thepeople are compelled to
| pay for the circulation of this vile trash
| through the mails.
If all the attacks on the part of Mr. ely
mer and his upholders are to be of asimliar
character with this pamphlet alluded to, we
| beg him and them not to desist from their
work, for like the brutal treatment which
| their friends in the South visited upon
Union soldiers, these vulgar falsehoods viii
recoil upon themselves by an oyerwhelm-
ing defeat in fair Telegraph.

that. the venerable Ex-Governor Ritner met
with severe accident, in that town, on
Thursday evening last The Repository
says that as he was entering the house of
Mrs Ritner, his daughter-in-law, he fell on
the pavement, lacerating the back part of
his head, and was SO severely stunned that
he lay lnsensible for some time The acci
dent was very painful one to man of the
Ex-Governor years, for our venerable
friend must be well-nigh eighty-fve years
of age, and though retaining his faculties
in remarkable degree, can i'll withstand
the shock of accident superadded to the
