as Stanton is in the Cabinet; they arr. ofii-
GERS of the Government and must be re-
spected. stasNi
ssLet Stanton resign" say some, ssand
thus tide over this trouble" We beg Mi.
Stanton not to resign. If we are to have
contest with President johnson Of decisive
character, the sooner it comes the better.
We have had enough Of patience, compro-
mise, forbearance. Our cause is that OF
justice, and we owe the millions OF helpless
loyalists in the South too much to see them
sacrificed to the spirit Of Slavery and Irea-
son which now rules incarnate in the person
of Andrew johnson. Therefore, we say,
Let the President, if he dare, put finger
npon Mr. Stanton or Gen. Grant. We have
sacrificed too much for freedom TO see it
stified in night by these conspirators
against the public good. These men are
enemies of the Republic. Under the pre-
tense of saving the country and executing
the laws, they are laboring to bring anarchy
upon us. They seek to make the South a
hell, to have race to be arrayed against race,
and vengeance to take the place OF justice.
Every step that the loyal men have taken
toward reconstruction is opposed, and the
President of the United States, the sworn
executor of the law, stands to-day in the
position of its most persistent and powerful
foe. But for him every Southern State
would be in Congress, and the country
would be satisfied
s'Yes, but we will lose the elections" say
some, sand the Copperheads will triumph"
Well, we have heard that before, and we
find no terror in it. If the slave interest Is
to triumph, and the loyal men Of the South
are to be remanded to the mercy OF the men
who tried to enslave and murder them for
five years, let it be done by the Copperheads
when they come into power, and not by cur
negative consent. Defeat may come with
honor, but let 1t find us standing sternly by
the right, yielding no principle, making no
concession. We are beaten to-day, If de-
feat is our destiny. Rather than see the Con
gress of America tamely concede one Gle
ment of Justice, or surrender one man to the
tyranny of the Rebel power, or permit the
President to put finger upon Mr.. Stanton
or Gen. Grant, we would accept any politi-
cal fate. This Congress cannot recede. II
cannot shirk its responsibility, and it must
not be paralyzed by concessions to Presi-
dent who, finding he cannot rule the count
ry, seems bent upon running it.
Therefore we admonish the President
and his midnight, back-stairs counselors, like
Black, and Coylc, and Blair, tob cautious!
The next card that Congress may play is
Impeachment. 1t is for Mr.. johnson to say
whether it shall be played or not

A PIcKLED BABY. The Salt Lake Tele-
graph tells the following story:
A little four year old, living in neigh
boring Ward, has habit of getting into
babyhood scrapes every day. At one time
he tips over the workbox and then come
down all the multifarious ''fixins" of the
women folks this done he climbs into the
washtub, gets wet, and bawls out furiously
until mamma runs to get her ''dailn baby"
out of the muss, which is no sooner done
than the young rascal pulls the cat all
around the room by the tail, making poor
pussy NEW in the most agonizing manner.
But ".lama's little pet" got into very bad
scrape the other day, whereby he got badly
picked. Having made his way to the PAN
try and observing large jar of pickles, the
little fellow thought he would have at least
what big folks call square meal, so in
went the head in the jar of pickles, but out
the head couldn't get, and as consequence,
the ''darlin" set up a very lively and inter-
estng noise, which attracted the frightened
mother, who found the young hopeful just
in the fix described Amid screams and
cries the jar had to be broken before the
baby's head could be extricated, which hav-
ing been dones ''little pickle" as he is now
called, cast sly looks at his ma, then al the
pickles, exclaiming, so, mamma, Use never

THE Folly OF QuARREIING.-If anything
in the world will make a man feel badly,
except pinching his fingers in the crack of
door, it is unquestionably quarrel. No
man ever fails to think less of himself after
it than before. 1t degrades him in the eyes
of others, and what is worse, blunts his
sensibilities on the one hand, and increases
the power of passionate irritability on the
other. The truth is, the more peaceably
and quietly we get on, the better for our
selves and others. In nine cases out of ten,
the better course is, if man cheats you,
cease to deal with if he is abusive, quit
his company; and if he ISLANDERS you, take
care to live SO that nobody will believe him.
No matter who he is; or how he misuses
you, the wisest way is to let him alone; fol-
there is nothing better than this cool, calm
and quiet way of dealing with the wrongs
we meet with.

SMILES are among the cheapest and yet
richest luxuries of life. We do not mean
the mere retraction of the lips, and the ex-
hibition of two rows of masticators-mas-
tiffs, hyenas and the like amiabilities, are
proficient in that. We do not mean the
cold formal smile of politeness, that plays
over the features like moonlight on gla-
cier-automata and villains can do that but
we mean the real genial smile that breaks
right out of the heart, like sunbeam out
of a cloud and lights up the whole face, and
shines straight into another heart that loves
il or needs it.

WAIT, MOTHER, before you speak harshly
to the little chubby rogue who has torn his
apron, and soiled his white Marseilles jack
ct. He is only child, and ''mother' is the
sweetest and most sacred word in all the
world TO him Needle and thread and soap
suds will repair the damage now, but if you
once teach him to shrink from his mother,
and hide away his childish faults, that dam
age cannot be repaired.

PARENTS must never put away their own
youth. They must never cease to be young.
Their sympathies and sensibilities should be
always quick and fresh. They must be sus-
ceptible. They must love that which God
made the child to love. Children need not
only government, firm and mild, but sym
aoathy, warm and tender. So long as pa
rents are their best and most agreeable COM
panions, children are comparatively safe,
even in the society of others.

Baby on the Porch.
Out on the porch, by the open door,
Sweet with roses and cool with shade
Baby is creeping over the noor.-
Dear little winsome blue-eyed maid
All about her the shadows dance,
All above her the roses swing,
Sunbeams in the lattice glance,
Robins up in the branches sing.
Up at the blossoms her tlngers reach,
Lissing her pleadings In broken words,
Coming away in her tender speech,
Songs like the twitter of nesting birds.
Creeping, creeping over the floor,
Soon my birdie will find her winge,
Fluttering out at the open door,
Into the wonderful world Of things.

STRIKE THE KNoT.-"Strike the knot !"
said gentleman to his son, who tired and
weary, was leaning on his axe over log
which he had in vain been trying to cleave.
Then looking at the log, the gentleman saw
how the boy had hacked and Clipped all
around the knot without hitting it. Taking
the axe he struck a few sharp blows on the
knot, and split the log without difficulty.
Smiling, he handed the axe to his son, and
said:
ssAlways strike the knott"
That was good advice. 1t is good for
you, children, as it was for the boy to whom
it was given. 1t is capital maxim to follow
when you are in trouble. Have you hard
sum to do at school? Are you leaving
home to live for the first time? Strike the
knot Look your trouble in the eye, as the
bold lion hunter looks in the face OF lion.
Never shrink from painful duty, but step
right up 10 it and do it. Yes, strike the
knot Strike the knot, boys and girls, and
you will always conquer your difficulties.

Strange Courtsh1p and Mar
riage Brought About by a
Dream. ".
On Saturday last a "happy pair
passed through Toledo to Michi-
gan, the circumstances Of whose ac-
quaintance, courtship and marriage
are hardly equaled in history. It
seems that the bridegroom is a res
ident Of Michigan, where he lived
with his mother. About a week
since he had a dream, in which he
found himself at Fremont. thirty
miles east Of this city, where he
met his future partner, in the per-
son Of a young lady whom he had
never seen with the natural eye; he
courted and married her, took her
to his Michigan home, where they
raised a family Of chileren, and
lived to see a third generation Of.
children added to their family.
Telling this vision to his mother,
and encouraged by her, he the next
day set out for Fremont, where, af.
tertwo or three days search, he
met in the PostofIice the face 50 in
dtllibly photographed on his mem
Ory, and at once made known TO her
the nature Of his dream and object
Of his visit. At first somewhat
startled by the strange announce
ment, she soon cOmprehended the
situation, and was by no means dis
pleased with it. Finally, she refer
red the matter to her parents, who
accedcd to the remarkable PROPOSE
ton, and on Friday last the strange
union was consummatcd according
to the laws Of Ohio, and the happy
bridegroom started homeward the
next day with his young bride.
Those who saw the couple at
Fremont and on their way hither,
say that they bore every appear
ance Of intelligence and gave prom
Use of great happiness and useful
ness. There seems to be no room
for doubt as to the truthfulness Of
the above relation, and, taken alto
gether, it is probably the most re
markable courtship and wedding on
record.-7oledo Commercial, My
5th.

Tho Origin Of Dixie.

] do not wish to spoil .aaf
lusion, but the real
Dixie is an indigenouy4
negro refrain. No one eyerS "a S
of Dixie's land being other than
Manhattan Island, until recently,
when it has been enormously sup
posed to refer to the South, from
its connection with the pathetic ne
gro allegory. When slavery exist
ed in New York, one Dixy owned
a large tract of land on Manhattan
Island, and a large number Of
slaves. The increase of slaves, and
the increase of abolition sentiment,
caused an emigration of slaves to
more thorough and secure slave
sections, and the negroes who were
thus sent off naturally looked back
upon their homes, as they could not
imagine any place like Dixy's.-
Hence it became synonymous with
an ideal locality, combining ease,

Singing and minstrelsy we're in
their infancy, and any subject that
could be brought into a ballad was
eagerly picked up. This was the
case with Dixie. 1t originated in
New York, and assumed the pro
portion of song there, In its
travels it has been enlarged, and
has gathered moss. 1t has picked
up note here and a note there :
Achorus has been added to it, and
from an indistinct chant Of two or
three notes, it has become an elab-
orate melody. But the fact is, it is
not a Southern song, and can not
be rubbed out. The fallacy is so
popular to the contrary, that l |
have thus been at pains to get the
real origin of it.--Cor. Nec Or
