VIOLENCE FEARED The old rebel spirit is
making its appearance 1t is the spirit that ac-
tuated the New York and Baltimore mobs to
their acts of violence, and which should be
crushed without ceremony or delay, if any means
can be found for so doing. 1t was recently
stated that General Grant was insulted while
sitting in which had stopped for few mo-
ments in an obscure town ir that portion of Illi-
nois known as g Egypt and from the following
statement which we find in a late number of the
Boston Journal, we learn that similar affront
was offered at st. Joseph, Missouri - While
stopping at St. Joseph, Missouri, on his recent
tour General Grant was called for and made a
few remarks from the balcony of his hotel.
Among the crowd were many rebel sympathiZ-
ers and unreconstructed rebels who, as soon as
General Grant had done speaking, commenced
footing a horn and cheering for Seymour. Gen.
Sherman was called for by the loyal people pres
ent, and was received with cheers, with which
rebel groans were ntermingled with cheers for
Seymour. General Sherman said :" do not in
general counsel violence, but were a citizen of
ST. Joseph l would take that man referring to
the one who commenced the disturbance down
to the Missouri river and duck him. We have
fought rebels, and we thought they had enough
of fghting.'' This sentiment called out pro-
longed and hearty cheers, and the General, find
ing he could not be heard further retired The
dispatch describing this scene, says: :. The old
rebellious spirit of 1861 is cropping out in many
parts of this State, and there will be lively times
and not little bloodshed before the campaign is
over. Frank Blairs letter and the teachings of
Wade Hampton, Governor WISE Robert Toombs
and their allies, are having their legitimate eff
feet and cannot result but in tumult and con-

AN exchange relates that the 22d regiment
New York volunteers, returned to Albany from
the war three hundred men fit for duty. They
had gone out over thousand strong The
difference in numbers had been wrought by the
dread causalties of war. The remnant was
marched up in front Of Governor Seymour resi-
dence. He coolly and briefly addressed them
telling them that they would be mustered out,
and might go to their homes. Colonel Phelps
felt injured, and riding up in front of the Gov
ernor he said 'Governor, if my men have done
their duty, wish you would tell them so.''

Couldn't Help 1t.

In certain town on the Penobscot
river lived two worthy men, neighbors
aud friends, but they could never agree
on political questions. In dispute one
day, one of the disputants lost temper
and called the ether liar" fool, )
''knave," and so on. This was his weak
ness. He easily lost sclfcoutrol; then
was very abusive and then repented
On the occasion referred to, he was so
chag. ined ut the exhibition he had made
of passion that he soon called upon his
neighbor, pcnitent and purposing an apollo
gy. We give, in substance. the apology !:
II am ashamed of myself for being
so abusive in my talk to you. To think

know not why it is, That, in my talk with
you. l"se my temper. But The fact is.
you always talk 50 much like "a jiatkass:
I cant help it."
Many good men have weaknesses Of
character or manner, which seem abso-
lutely incrrahle. We heard of certain
brother who constantly made himself
thorn in the flesh of his fellow church
members by his habit of using slang talk
and coarse coIloquialisms in hia prayers.
In vain the Church repeatedly expressed
their disapproval of his unc"ulh phrases.
SO far from being silenced, the offending
brother was only grieved and alenalcd.
At last committee of the deacons went
to have final talk with him, aud so il,
dicously was theintcrvicw conducted, thar
a happy issae seemed certain. Prayer
closed the visit, and the disciplined and
penitcnt member led the devotions, when
almost the first sentence came out: go

dear brethren to hitch 1orses together "-

The TREAsURE.-Almansor, rich and
exalted Arabian, ate, drank, gained, and
indulged in every species of voluptuous
dissipation. Once, when he was torment.
ed by that irksomeness, which is ever
the follower of safety, he was struck
with the curious desire of visiting the
sepulchre of his ancestors. He descend
ed, and wandered between rows of rot
ting bones, not with the solemn reflection
that his own must, one day, be mixed
with them, but with the idea of volup.
tuary, that it was very cool and pleasant.
Suddenly his eye was attracted by an in
scription, which was half erased. 1t was
this: "Here is hidden greater treasure
than was ever possessed by Cresus.' .
Almansor, whose wealth was not. in o
small degree exhausted, had the vault
Immediately opened, and found-a hand

An AdrOit SWorGSman,

Pulaski. as is we'll known, was as
adroit a swordsman as he was perfect in
horsemanship, and he ever rode a power
full and fleet charger. During the retreat
of American army through New Jersey,
in the darkest hour of our national ad-
versity, Pulaski was, with small party
of horsemen, pursued by large party
of British cavalry, the leader Of which
was good horseman, and mounted near
lv as well as Pulaski. Pulaski rode in
the rear of his detachment, and the Bri,
tish captain in front of those he COM
manded.
The morning sun was shining brightly,
casting oblique shadows, and as the pur'
sued party entered long narrow lame,
Pulaski, having satisfied himself of the
superior speed and command of his horse
over that of his pursuer, slackened his
pace and kept his horse to the side o.
the lane farthest from the sun. The pur
suing officer came up in hot hasse, his
sword elevated so as to make the decisive
cut upon Pulaski as soon as he coulo
reach him.
Pulaski rode as though he heard no
the advance upon him-yet he kept hi:
eyes fixed warily upon the ground on thu
side of his horse towards the sun on the
right. As soon as he saw the shadow o
his pursuer's horse gain upon him, anc
that the horses head, by his shadow, hat
gained about half the length of his owl
horses body, he gave the sudden SWORD
cut of St. George with his powerful arm
and saw the decapited head of the Eng
lish officer following the stroke.
His mathematical eye had measured
the distance by the position of the shadow
so accurately-his position giving Ions
back reach to his arm, while the cross
stroke of his pursuer must have beer
made at much shorter distance to have
taken el1ect-that the pursuing Officer
lost his head before he suspected that hi
proximity was known, or that blow
was meditated.

Yes, you vow to love me ever,
As you love me now, to-day,
Say no change shall us dissever,
Answer me oae question, pray:
Ecer Ills word supernal
Borrowed from foreign tongue,

And on angels lips first hung.
Boundless, endless is its meaning,
Tho,gh men hem it in Times space;
Each, in littleness o'erweening,
Binds it to his mortal race.
Tell inc where your ever reacheth,
To Deaths night or Heavens day?
And by what your answer teacheth,
I will answer yea or nay.

Should 1 see thee pass Deaths portal
Love should own no blight;
Short the space our souls would sever,
Ericf would be Loves night;
Thus swear to thee forever!
Love that knows no fight.
Acceptance.
Now in thine place my hand,
Thou wilt keep it in thy clasp
Til Death part Loves mortal band,
Loose little while its grasp.
In thy heart my heart drop,
Joying in the sacrifice,
Since our loves sweet, grand device

"If could only see my mother! i
Again and again was the yearning cry
repeated :,
aIf could only see my mother!'
The vessel rocked, and the waters,
chased by fresh wind, played musically
against the side of the ship. The sailor,
a second mate, quite youthful, lay in his
narrow bed, his eyes glazing, his limbs
s,ifening, his breath failing. 1t was not
pleasant to die thus in this shaking, plung-
ing ship; but he seemed not to mind his
bodily comfort--his eyes looked far away
and ever and anon broke forth that
grieving cry
elf could only see my mother u
An old sailor sat by, the Bible in his
hand, from which he had been reading.
He bent above the young man, and asked
him why he was as so anxious to see the
mother he had wiIfully left.
"Ohl that's the reason" he cried i'll

and can't die in peace. She was good

she bore everything from her wild boy,
and once she said, My son. when yon

"Oh, if could only see my mother!
He never saw his mother. He died
with the yearning cry upon his lips, as
many i one has died who sighted the
mother who loved him. The waves roll
over him, and his bones whiten at the
bottom of the sea, and that dread cry

TIE TWO MERCHANTS.

When trade grew slack and notes fell
due, the merchants face grew long and
blue; his dreams were troubled through
the night, with sherils' bailifs all in sight.
At last his wife unto him said: Rise up
at once, get out of bed, and get your
paper, ink and pen, and say these words
unto all men:
My goods wish to sellt to you, and to
your wives and daug hters too; my prices
they shall be so low, that each will bug
before they go.
He did as his good wife advised, and
in the papers advertised. Crowds came
and bought of all he had; his notes were
paid, his dreams made glad; and he will
tel to you this dav. how we'll did prin.
ter's ink repay. He told US this with
knowing wink, how he was saved by
printers ink.

The other in place rs tight, contented
was the press to slight; and did not let
the people know, of what he did or where
to 90. His drafts fell due and were not
paid, and a levy on his goods was made;
the store was closed until the sale, and
for some time he was in Jail. A bank
rupt now without cent, at leisure he
can deep repent, that he was foolish and
unwise, and did not freely advertise.
