HABIT.
BY JoHS AsKBAN.

Habit at first is but a silken thread
Fine as the light winged gossamers that SWAY
In the warm suabeams of summers day;
shallow strcamleat, ripping 0 er its bed
A tiny sapling, ere it's roots are spread:
A yet uphardened thorn upon the spray;
A lions whep that bath not scented prey;
little smiling child ohodient led.
Beware that thread may bind thee as chain;
That stresmlet gather to fatal sea,
That saphng spread into gnarlei tree
That thorn, grown hard may wound and give the
pam;
That playful whelp his murderous fangs reveal;
That child, giant, crush thee meath his heel

DEATH OF 2oUSsEAU.--We regret to
chronicle the death of that iiue horse,
Gen. Rousseau, which occurred a few
days ago. He was being trained on the
Fort Mcigs course, at Perrysburg, Ohio:
and, flying the track, ran his head VIC
lently against q post, killing him al-
most instantly. He was owned by Mr..
j. j. Parks, who valued him at $4,000.
Rousseau was a horse of excellent prom
iSe.
The editor OF the Portland, (Mc), .I'-
gus, recently saw ut the Forest City
Park stables son of Mr.. Palmers Ham
blctonian stallion Gideon" that is a
splendid specimen of horsehesh.
Though only a two-year-old, he weighs
1925; is a beautiful bay, with BLACK
name and tail; has an easy open gait, is
strikingly like his grandfather, RySdyk's
Hambletonian, the father of Dexter, to
whom Gideon is a half brother. This
colt was sold recently for nearly one
thousand dollars.

obtained in our government, ard to re
turn to the just governmental princi-
pies whose source is the Federal Con-
stitution. To those who cherish this
desire, whether they be Republicans or
Democrats, THAD. STEVENS letter is
gross and waDton insult. 1t avOws the
destruction of that instrument which is
The source and guarantee of our nation
al existence. 1t admits, by implication,
that "the irrepressible two-thirds" have
peJured themselves in striking down
Il Constitution which they have sworn
to defend, and it outrages decency by
presuming that public sentiment can
possibly sanction such official miscon
duct.
We admire the frankness with which
STEVENS proclaims tie infamy of Con-
gress. We also admire the vigor with
which he deuOunces those "Conserva-
tive Republicans" who claim their
legislation to be in harmony
with the Constitution. STEVENS
has no patience with any such cowardly
position. He denies its tenability. He
asserts i'll substance that if Congress
has not acted wholly outside the Con-
stitution, their work of reconstruction
is uSurpatiOn. His policy is to repu-
date the Constitution boldly and
entirely; then its provisions will be no
obstaclei to Radical operations. If the
binding force of that instrument be
admitted, it follows irresistibly that the
Radical majority in Congress is made
up of Legislative usurpers. "Legisla-
tiOn without authority, and reconstruc-
tiOn by usurpation" are the gentle
terms in which the military plan must
be described if the authority of the
Constitution Is recognized. TO avoid
such a consequence STEVENS insists
upon repudiating the Constitution.
This also is usurpation. Turn where it
will, Radicalism must face its record of
broken laws, and usurped authority.
