The Soldiers.

The Democracy, being the peculiar
friends of the soldier, have manifest
ed great indignation against the Re
publican party because the Suffrage
Amendment DISTINGUISHES deserters-
They love a soldier so much that they
are not willing that even deserter
shall be treated with indignity.
Now, it is pretty we'll understood
among the soldier boys that these men,
who called them Lincoln hirelings,"
''Hessiaus, thieves, loyal hen
roost robbers" "mUrderers, 'felons,
gully of rape, arson and wholesale
robbery" and other pet names during
the war and who refused to vote "a
man or a dollar" for their support In
the bitter struggle through which they
passed and who uniformly refused to
recognize the right of the soldier to
vote and WLo, even now, deny the
right of coercion, and attempt to dis
honor the great struggle for the life Of
the Nation, as Q. 'tratricidal war, p" and
a crusade against liberty it is pret-
ty we'll understood, we say, that the
party guilty Of all this outrage upon
the dearest rights aud the most sacred
feelings of the soldier. comes forward
now too late with protfers ofregard and
friendship.
But, if all the other accumulated
evidence were insufficient to show their
hatred for the soldier, and the hypoc-
risy of their crocodile tears over the
disfranchisement of soldiers, they
have once more placed themselves
squarely upon the record. Mr.. Sad
Ter, In view Of the domicil in the State
of large number Of MANNED and dis
abled soldiers by the location Of the
National Soldiers Home in the State,
introduced a bill to email bic these MAIN
ed soldiers to vote, and every Democrat
in both Houses voted against it That
is the love of the Democrat for the
soldier That is the way the Demo
cratic party feels about the dIsfran-
chisement of soldiers who have not
been guilty of desertiOn
1t is within the recollection of more
than a score Cf wounded soldiers Of
the Ohio Soldiers Home, that they
were driven from the polls and pre-
vented from voting, when fully author
lied to vote by the laws of the State.
Democratic judges In the county of
Franklin perpetrated this outrage. It
will not be forgotten.
But we have already said more than
enough under this head. The pretense
of friendship for the soldier is the
most impudent and barefaced swindle
ever attempted by the Democratic par
ty. It is so understood, and nothing
further need be said about it, CoLunl-

BIsMARK.-A German paper thus
describes Count Bismark as he appears
in the North German Parliament: His
speeches are very uncouth in style,
and his voice is sharp and gratiL 6.
When excited he loses the thread of
his discourse, aud not unfrequently
commits faults OF grammar and con-
struotiOn, At the same time there is
au epigrammatical inoisiveness in his
short, sharp sentences, and q pictures
dueness of expression in his style
which go far to redeem his oratorical
defects and If the form in which he
clothes his ideas is somewhat harsh
and repelling, there can be no doubt
as to the value and effect Of the ideas
themselves. His speeches are full OF
deep thought, Of far reaching political
insight, and Of statesmanlike views
His wit, too, is very remarkable and
its slashiBg effect has been felt by
many an antagonist to his cost. He is
very sensitive TO attack, especially
since he has been suffering from his
present nervous disorder, and his late
alteration with Herr Won Munenhau-
sen, the Han1verian deputy, Is said to
have brought on an aggravatiOn of his
complaint. Ia the North German
Parliament he invariably appears ito
the uniform of an officer of the Land
wehr cavalry, while ia the PrUssian
Parliament he attended in ordinary
civil dress-a fact which has given rise
to much speculation among the quid-
nuncs of Berlin.

Miss Kate Field, the lady critic
whose paper on Ristori appears in the
April number Of the Atlantic Month
ly, is a legitimate subject of public Gu
riosity, which NAV be gratiGed to learn
that she is not at all on the blue-stock-
ing, spinstery order, but a taking
young lady, of decidedly lively and
stylish characteristics. She has fig
ure of medium height, inclining to
plump-petite. A profusion of brill
liant dark brown hair (dou't criticise
the epithet-no other expression de-
scribes the sparkling gloss of her
tresses) hangs over the shoulders worn
in the frizzed and flowing style now
popular with fanciful young ladies,
Her shoulders are rather square, like
Harriet Hosmer's, and there is simi-
lar decision aud sang froid discernible
in both ladies'. Miss n'ield is u good
linguist, having studied both aoeiens
and modern languages; is a fine sing
er and fond of boating, and of having
her own way. If the truth must be
told, the young critic and journalist is
somewhat fast" iu her style, as a great
many admired women are who never
touch an authors quill.

The Left Slipper.

Il thought fairies were obsolete, and
Cinderella nowhere" [ exclaimed one
morning, drawing out from under the
sofa of my sitting-roOm small slipper
for a left foot but if ever there was
lady, be she Cinderella or Susan
nah, who had a smaller foot than this
would fit, I should like to see her, that's
all"
I sat down again to my coffee and
ham, and wondered however it could
happen that Mrs. Pottle, my worthy
and obsequious landlady, should have
allowed the slipper to have been over
looked In the thorough cleaning she
had assured me always took place be-
tween the exitand entree of her different
sets of dodgers yet here it was. The
shining of the soft, bronze-colored
leather had attracted my eye as the
sun lit up the abyss beneath the sofa;
and now, what must [ do with it P
Perhaps after all it was Mrs. Pottle's
own but I laughed at the idea of her
elephantine foot finding entrance

sofa for ornament; and yet how should
such a thing as one slipper not be miss

NEVER KNOCK UNDER.-No never
Always rally your forces for another
and more desperate assault upon ad-
versity. Ifcalumny assails you, aud the
world-as it is apt to do in such cases
takes part with your traducers, don't
turn moody and misauthrOpic, or worse
still, seek to drown your unhappiness
in dissipation. Bide your time. Dis
prove the slander If you can if not,
live it down If poverty comes upon
you, like a thief at night, what then ?
Let it rouse you, as the real thief
would do, to energetic action. No
matter how deeply you may have got
into hot water-always provided that
you did not help the father of lies to
heat it-your case, if you are of the
right kind of stuff, is not desperate
for it is in accord with the Devine or
der and sweep of things that life
should have no difficulties which an
honest, determined man, with HeaV-
ems help cannot surmOunt.

True to yourselves-true to each
! other-true to God. What more alb %
h0rrent vice than deception The
/ face covered with smiles, and the
/ heart rottenas a sepulchre. The hand
| first binding your eyes, and then leads
! ing you to the BRINK Of the precipice.
The tongue beguiling your face with
honIed words, and shaping Its arrows
| to launch at your back.
Oh that inestimable jewel of truth
truth IN the tongue, IN the life, IN
every manifestation of the reason, she
loves the passions Of humanity.
Terrible TO the young heart is the
first deception. She who looked all
purity, all angelic goodness, betrayed
her trust, and left her soul desolate.
Heaven only knows through what
depths Of darkness the bruised spirit
struggled to light and joy again. But
the light has never been as pleasant,
the joy rekindled burns not like the
bright fires of long ago. The tears,
the sleepless nights, the hours of keen
despair, when a hand seemed even on
your throat, and q dagger at your heart
for who would live them oVer2
Death would be more welcome.
We could bear with petulance, smile
at unE100QGSS-Bh assaults OF harsh
temper, or the moody silence of a
frowning brow but treachery, faith
lessness, trust betrayed-thank God
that we have never yet known the full
import of these terrible words
Be true, then, if you would be res
pected. opower on earth can change
the fat that even the world gives the
deceiver. He may weep tears of
blood, but the monuments Of his
shame still stand so testify against him.
Once a liar, always a liar, A very
child can tell where deception con
ceals itself; and a casual thought,
lightly expressed, ferrets it from its
foul hiding place.
Be true if you would be loved. The
heart is like an armory-beautiful and
harmless seem the long rows of brist-
ing steel-but every one of those pol
shed shafts may be used as an instru-
nent Of torture.
So if you deceive, the heart that
beats warmest for your love, your ap-
may be converted into a
gallery of deadly weapons, and you
will be responsible for the mischief
hat results through life's long battle.
Let truth be as dear to you as the ap-
Die of your eye and when the blush
Iprings not to your cheek, and your
ongue falters not even at the unutter-
ID thought of deception, then be sure
rou are neither I'll for earth nor heav-
.n-for the society of men or angels.

SMALL. TALK.-Of all expedients to
make the heart lean, the brain gauzy,
and to thin life down TO the consistency
cessful is the little talk and tattle which,
in some charmed circles, is courte Jusly
styled conversation. How human be-
ings can live on such meagre fare-how
continue existence in such a famine Of
topics and on such a short allowance of
sense-is a great question, if philosophy
could only search ii out. All we know
is that such men and women there are
who viii go on from fifteen to four
score and never a hint on their tomb
stones that they died at last Of con-
sumption of the head and marasmus of
the heart. The whole universe of God,
spreading out its splendors and terrors,
pleading for their attention, and they
wonder "Where Mrs. Somebody got that
divine ribbon to her bOnuet2" The
whole world of literature, through its
thousand trumps of fame, adiuring
them to regard its garnered stores of
emotion, and they think "It's high
time, if John intends to marry Sarah
for him to pop the question" When,
to be sure, this frippery is spiced with q
little envy ard malice, and prepares its
dishes of scandal and nice bits of de-
traction, it becomes endowed with a
slightly venOmOus vitality which does
pretty well, in the absence of soul, to
carry on the machinery Of living, if not
the reality of life WHtpple.

The song Of De shirt.

With fingers weary and worn,
With eyeIids heavy and red,
A woman sat in unwOmanIy rags,
Plying her needle and thread
Stitch stitch stitch
In poverty, hunger and dirt,
And still with a voice of doIorous pitch
She sang the ''Song of the Shirt
''Work work work
While the cock is Growing aIoof,
And wOrk-work-wo

It's Otto be slave
Along with the barbarous Turk,
Where woman has never a soul to save,

And sew them on in a dream

But human creatures lives l---

In poverty hunger and dirt,
Sewing at once with a double thread,
A shroud as well as a shirt.
''But why do I talk of death
That phantom of grfsIy bone,
I hardly fear his terrible shape,
It seems so like my own

Because of the fasts I keep

And flesh and blood so cheap!

And what are its wages -? A bed of straw,

Of the cowsIip and primrose sweet

And the walk that costs meal!
O! but fol. one short hour!
A respite, however brief!
No blessed leisure for love and hope,
But only time for grief!

My tears must stop, for every drop

Would that its tone could reach the rich!-

The Robin is Singing.

The robin is singing
The bIithe little robin.
With its pretty brown head
'Mong the apple trees bobbing;
Singing so cheerily,
All the long day,
OF the beautiful Spring
That is now on her way.
The robin is singing,
The gay little robin,
And away go the North winds
Assigning and sobbing,
To their bleak, icy caves,
By the shores of the sea
While the South winds are blowing
So baln1y and free.
The robin is singing,
The bOnny, wee robin,
And our hearts to its musical
Measures are thrObbing
While dreams Of the bloom
And the beauty of May,
Make melody there,
As we list to its lay.
The robin is singing,
Q. bIest little robin
With your pretty brown bead
Mong the apple trees Bobbing;
o, would we might give,
AS we journey along,
The joys that you bring,
With the sweets of your song.

The recreancy of the thirteen Repub-
licans in the New Jersey Legislature,
who voted against impartial suffrage is
held up to execration by the Radical
Infamous by being published in black
lists and speared at and gibed about
with much JUNCTION. The Republican
press threatens that none of them shall
ever have another opportunity 60 dis
grace that party. A Republican who
cannot keep up even with the average
opinion of the South upon the suffrage
question resembles that undertaken
who always felt called upon to caution
his drivers against over driving their
horses on their way to the grave. Such
Republicans would lag behind in a
