We say this, and sacrifice none OF the
principles defended By Mr.. Bennett. He
is, no doubt, earnest in his belief that
his work is worthy. Bat there are crafty
bold. bad men who look upon these So
cieties as so many instruments for their
own advancement. They propose to
ally themselves with this military senti-
msnt, with no more claim upon it than
Thenardier, in Hugo's novel, had to be
called the Sergeant Of Waterloo. He
followed thearmy, and robbed the bodies
of the slain. The true soldier sheathes
his sword and buries it in the closet,
and it remains an heirloom. He be-
comes a citizen, and makes no claim for
political honor but that Of citizenship.
Above all things he does not carry his
epaulets and ribbons, his wounds and
bruises to a political convention, to be
knocked down to the highest bidder
There may be many of these men un-
Willingly in this Army of the Republic,
who probable entered with the views Of
Mr. Bennett. They will soon see how
they may better occupy their time.
Especially do we entertain these views
when we find in the declaration ofthese
secret soldier associations so many ex-
pressions Of madness. The true soldier
is the most generous of foemen. Take
the great captains who commanded the
contending hosts. Do We find Grant,
or Sherman, or Sheridan, or Thomas, or
Meade, assembling together and howl
ing for more blood, more strife, more
bitterness? ? Do we find Lee, or Long
street, or Johnston, or BeauTegard in
sisting that the hates of secession shall
be prolonged2 ? These men fought their
fight and ended. Their anger ceased
with the echo of the last guns fred in
anger. From this Grand Army of the
Republic now paradiug through political
conUsntioas Of the Hest, commanded By
tie captains Of tie caucus, the lobby and
The 5dr-rOonl, gge appeal to the Grand
Army Of the Republic aUbicb carried our
banners oUer a hundred fields under the
eye Of Grant, Sherman and Sheridan
We den0unce this Relg secret association as
ont of sympathy oOiM The true Republican
party, and as inimical to the Consultation
and the Union 1t will be a sad day for
our party when soldiers find no better
work than to prowl over the battle-felds
of the past and dig up the bodies of the
slain. The country wants, peace, and
rest, and harmony, and justice. These
men want a distracted country that Of
fees may be gained. They would make
America a Mexico peace would be sent
to sleep with Turks, and infdels, and
instead of Union, they would have "the
wofulest division made that ever fell up
on this cursed earth"

SPELLING A SUBJECT.-A man sitting
one evening in an ale-house thinking
how to get provisions next day, saw q
fellow dead drunk upon the opposite
bench.
"Do you wish to get rid of this sOt p
said he to the landlord.
1 do, and half crown shall speak
my thanks" was the reply.
"Agreed, " said the other; get me a
sack"
A sack was procured and put over the
guest. Away trudged the man with his
burden till he came to the house of a
resurrectionist, atwhose door he knocked,
Who's thore?" said a voice from
within.
"I have brought you subject" re-
piled the man $50 come quick-and
give me my fee"
The money was Immediately paid, and
the sack, with It's contents, deposited in
the surgery. The motion of quick walk
ing had nearly recovered the victim, who,
before the other had been gone two min
utes endeavored to extricate himself from
the sack. The purchaser, enraged at be-
ing thus outwitted, ran after the man
who had deceived him, collared him, and
cried out
Why you dog, the mans alive !"
"Alive p said the other, so much
the better kill him when you want
him"

AN article from the New York Trib-
une, denouncing the Grand Army Of
the Republic in terms Of great severi-
ty, will be found in another place. The
reaIsoldiers that are in the Grand Army
have constantly affirmed that organiza-
ton could not be properly denominated
"secret political society that it was
to keep up army associations and take
care of wounded sOldiers-st most, in
politics, seeing that the soldiers we're not
sighted in the distribution eff Offices
The susceptibility of the order to pre-
version has, however, been patent, and if
the organization is to be maintained to
keep comrades together and do works of
charity, it must be closely looked after
or the Captains of the caucus" will
bring it into disrepute.

ESSAY UNTO FROGS.
RespeetfnHu dedicated to oar horned frog.

respectfully dedicated to oar horned frog.
"Beurolio. in writing for you an
analasis Of the frog, I must confess that
I have copied the whole thing, "verbatis
ad E5erating," from the works Of cele-
brated French writer, on natural history
ov the 10Th sentry.
The frog is, inthe first case, a tadpole,
all boldly and tail, without coming to
head.
He travels in pond holes bi the side
ov the turnpike, and is accerlerated by
the activity ov his tail, which wiggles
with uncommon limberness and viVacity.
By and by, pretty soon, before long, in
few days, his tail is no more, and leggs
begin to emerge from the South end Of
the animal, and from the north end, at
the same time, may be seen disposition
to head out.
In this cautious way the frog IS built,
and then for the first time IN his life, be-
gins to get his head above water.
His success is now certain, and soon,
in about five days more, he may be seen
sitting down on himself by the side Oy
the pond hole, and looking at the din
ner baskets ov the children on their way
to the district schoolhOus.
As the children cum more nearer, with
club or a chunk Of brick bat in his
hand to swott him with, he rares up on
his hind leggs and enters the water, he'd
fust, without opening the door.
Thus the frog does business for a spell
of time, until he gets to be q, and then
his life is more ramifed.
Frogs have 2 natures, ground and wa
ter, and are as free from sin as an oys-
ter.
Their Liad Ieggs are used for refresh
ments, but the rest ov him won't pay for
eating.
The bull-frog is the boss of the mud
puddle, and has log tu sit on, over on
the other side ov the puddle, and talks
tu the rest of the frogs away down in his
throat, so that you cant understand more
than half what he sez; he is generally a
cross and lazy old devil, I'll over warts.
This is all that is worth knowing now
about the frog, except that they ketch
fize during fiji time, and winter on moth
ing, by freezing up solid.-JOsh Billings.

.TALEs OFT or SCHOOL"

OHl our sweethearts at school. long ago,
When our own hearts were fresh as the deW
There were cheeks Of the rOsiest glow,
There were brown eyes, black eyes and blues
Have we ever loved as We loved then:
lLessOn FAR from the good moster' : rule ?
How we crossed lois through meadow and glen
But we never told tales out Of school
remember the long afternoons
When the clock slowly plOdded to four.
And the bees and flies hUmmed their tune
as they swung in and ont Of the door;
When the schoOimaster dOzed in his seat
And the sun glared on river and pool;
Then how wistfuily young eyes would meet
For we longed to tell tales out Of SCHOOL,
All, the notes that were written and sent
In the slyest of underhaud ways,
When we all on our books were intent!
We were cunning in those carly days
] have come 10 the sChOOl-hOusc once more
And I stand where the leaves rustic COOli
Two are straying where We strayed before:
Are telling some tales out Of school!
How the old times turns as look
On the village that lies far below
On the graveyard in yOn quiet nook,
Where the earliest yiOlets grow,
I have been to the fair little tomb;
Where the long grass is wavy and cool;
Still, my heart! Joy for Others may bloom
Whisper not thy sad tales ont Of school

A WASHINGTON SToRY.-Mr. Gay
senior, Of the National Hotel, Washing
ton, bears quite aresemblace to the late
General Cass, upon which is told a good
story.
A stranger who supposed that he
knew Mr.. Gay well, put up at the Ma,
tionaI. Since this house has become q
crack hotel at the Capitol, it is quite
full all the time, and the newcomer
was necessarily for the first night sent
to the up-foor to sleep. Coming down
stairs in the morning a little cross, he
met General Cass there, who had a fine
suite of rooms in the hall. He stepped
up to him and said:
'I'll not stand it You have put me
at the top Of the house. I must have a
room somewhere else, lower down."
Gen. Cass intcrposing nervously:-
"Sir, you aremistaken in the parsonage
you are addressing General Cass Of Mich
igan."
Stranger, confusedly; "Begyourpar-
don, General-thought it was my old
friend Gay. Beg a thousand pardons
sir. All mistake-all mistake, 1 as
sure you"
The General passed out of the build
ing, but soon returned but as luck
would have it, the stranger met him full
in the face again, but in another posi-
ton. This time he was sure he had
met Mr.. Gay for the Senator from Mich
igan he knew had Just gone out. So
the stranger stepped boldly up, slapped
the General familiarly on the shoulder,
exclaiming:
"By heaven, Gay, I've got a richjoke
to relate. 1 met old Cass up stairs just
now; thought il was you, and began
cursing him about my room"
General. Cass, with emphasis, "WelI,
young man, you have met old Cass again.
Stranger sloped, and has not been
heard Of since.

Sharp Talking.

There will be convention in Virginia, and
the State press is speaking with strength and
sharpness.
The Charlottesville Chronicle, conservative,
and not anti-negro, paper, says:
oThe negroes in Virginia have set the seal to
their doom. There is no longer any peace The
question now is who shall occupy and rule the ter
lstitude-the blacks or the whites. Every con-
ceiyabe effort has been made here to harnonze
the two races. Every form OF overture has been
made tc the blacks by the whites. Every appliance
was resorted to- to carry the election. All has been
in vain. Drilled like an army, man@uvred like a
body of disciplined troops, obeylng an order from
the central league like sign from marshals
baton, the negroes have delivered their vote like
concentrated broadside Perhaps II IS best to bring
matters to crisis at once. Let IL pc developed at
revolution goes the more violent will be the recoll
The North will not believe until they see; and they
will see when the Southern elections are hnished.

been in favor of Congressional reconstruction,
says:
every one who has not bee1 made acquainted
with the thorough system OF organization through
secret societies Of the negro population OF virginia
will be amazed to see with what unanlmlty they

There has been no division amongst them. Not
the slightest respect has been paid to PERSONAL

as they have for those in better standing. There

Baltimore.

There is no city in the United States tnat,
to Southerner, has more pleasant associations
than are connected with the name and memory
of Baltimore. The Monumental City" looked
upon herself as city of the South; and when
the late war began, she showed by her con-
duct the purity and disnterestedness OF her
creed.
Those who have pined day after day in the
barrack-hutches of Fort Delaware those who
have frozen and burned at Point Look Out =
those who have tasted the unpleasantnesses Of
Fort McHenry, and the Pens of Elmira need
not be told what Baltimore did, in clothing the
naked, feeding the hungry, and giving words
of comfort to the wounded and distressed. The
good works of the people of Baltimore, were
only limited by the wants Of those who were
suffering, or by the restrictions of military
orders They knew no such words as weary
ing and turning back; but gave freely of all
that they had for the benefit of the Southern
soldier, at time when word, or act of kind
ness for the Southern cause was liable to end
in tedious Imprisonment, or forced journey
ssacross the lines" A Southerner, when the
war closed, however worn or shattered, how
ever banished or torn, found warm welcome
in Baltimore His reception was not measured
according to the lace upon his sleeve, but,
whatever his rank or condition, he received
cordial greeting and substantial aid. Means
were found of assisting Southerners in their
business affairs. Men who were able to work
were given employment but there, even, the
big-hearted Baltimoreans did not stop. They
planned q way of educating the orphan chill
dren Of Southern soldiers they subscribed
for the support of the MANNED and injured;
they poured out their substance like water, in
behalf of the destitute South.
1t would be mockery indeed, to pretend
that it was necessary to prove the claims of
Baltimore upon the South. Gratitude, honor,
love, respect this is what the South gives to
Baltimore, and, with all her giving, it will be
long ere the vast debt is paid.
But, while Baltimore is large and flourish
ing commercial city, there is one way of
tightening the burden that lies upon our
shoulders AS a market for the South, Bal
timore is equal to New York Her business is
rapidly increasing, and, already, fine line of
steamships finds full freights to, and from,
Charleston. The city that remembered the
South in the day of her adversely, should be
remembered when the, South has business to
do and patronage to give whole generation
of Southern trade will not give Baltimore more
than she has given the South; and, when duty,
interest, and the memory of a thousand acts OF
kindness, impel our people in the same direc-
ton, there is little doubt of the result.
