The list of recent donations to this new Sun
day School enterprise, to found and endow a
National Orphans Homestead is gratifying
evidence to the friends of this worthy charity
that its objects and wants are widely and
growingly appreciated. The Association was
founded about three years SINCE, for the pur-
pose OF establishing and sustaining national
home for orphans of soldiers and sailors, from
any and every State. There are now in the
institution over sixty of these dependent little
ones. More than four hundred Sabbath
Schools, from Maine TO Illinois, have become
shareholders. Each SABBATH School, of any
Protestant denomination, that contributes
S25, becomes a shareholder, and is entitled to
perpetual representation at the institution, by
an orphan elected by them. The active and
Jealous cooperation of the Sunday School
scholars will make this "rhe children's monu-
ment of the nations gratitude"
The enterprise is not under any particular
State or denominational control, but is sus-
tanned by the cooperation of all. All Sabbath
Schools of any Protestant denomination are
earnestly invited to become connected with
this new field of labor for the children. The
idea is an excellent one, and the success that
udS tuOTJ IudL HAS Dt6u
made is a guarantee that the plan is favora-
BILE one, and eau be easily attained, if faithful
ly prosecuted.
Bishop Simpson, of the NJ. E. Church, is the
President; Rev. DR.. Newton (Episcopal), of
Philadelphia, Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee. Major G.. e. Cleeton, General Agent
for New York and the New England States
Rev. A. Dunbar, of Alfred, is Agent for
Maine
The Sabbath Schools connected with the fol.
lowing Maine churches have become share
holders, having subscribed the sums mention
ed below: Alfred Street M E, Biddeiord, Ss2 26 /;
Chestnut Street NJ E, Portland, $40 20; State

have subscribed as high $500.

occasion we said what we now repeat, that it
has no connection with the Gettysburg Asy-
lum for disabled soldiers or any swndling lot

THE SUPREME CoURT ON THE Power
OF CoNGREss.- Senator Morton iii hi.
late speech, quoted the following from
the decision of tie Supreme Cotrt of The
United States in the case of Luther Cs
Borden, as reported in Z Howard: +a.
Moreover the constitution of the Uni
ted States, as far as it provided for an
emergency of this kind, and authorized
the general government to interfere in
the domestic concerns of Il state, has
treated the subject as political in its ma
ture, and placed the power in the hands
of that department.
The fourth section of the fourth arti-
Gle of the constitution of the United
States provides that the United States
shall guarantee to every State in the
Union a republican form of government,
and shall protect each of them against
invasiOns; and upon the application of
the legislature or Of the executive (when
the legislature cannot be convcned)
against domestic violence .......
Under the article of the Constitution
it rests with Congress to decide what
government is the established one in the
state For as the United States guaran-
tee to each state a republican govern
ment, Congress must necessarily decide
what government is established i'll the
State, before it can determine whether
it is or not. .t

The Peaches.

A countryman brought from the eitv
five peaches, the finest that ever were
seen. But his children saw this fruit for
the first time. Therefore they wondered
and rejoiced in the pretty peaches with
their red checks and delicate down.
The father then divided them among his
four boys, and gave one to their mother.
In the evening, when the children
went to their sleeping-chamber, the IA
ther asked: -. -.
"Well, and how did the pretty peaches
taste 20 -.........-
Finely, dear father" said the oldest,
''lt Is beautiful fruit-so tartish and
delicate i'll taste. have carefully kept
the stone, and will raise tree from it,
"BravO," said the father; 'that is pro-
viding economically for the future, as
becomes a landsmaD.''
81 ate mine at once" the Youngest
cried and mother gave me half of hers.
o, it tasted SO sweet, and melted in my
mouth"
"Well," said the father, "you have not
acted very wisely. but naturally, and in
a child's manner For wisdom there is
yet room in the course of your life."
Then the second son began:
81 hunted up the stone which my little
brother threw away, and cracked it
There was a seed in it that tasted like a
nut. But my peach l sold for enough,
when | go to the city, that l can buy
dozen" ......
. The fail or shook his head and said
'This is wise enough, but child-like
and natural it was not Heaven guard
you that you do not become a merchant.
''And you, Edmund % asked the IA
ther."
Selfposessed and frank, Edmund re-
piled: 81 carried my peach to our neigh
Dor who was sick of a fever. He would
not take it; then l laid it upon his bed,
and came away"
"Well," said the father, who has made
the best use of his peach 2"
All three exclaimed: Brother Ed
mund n' But Edmund was silent, and
his mother embraced him with tears
in her eyes.

Retributions,

Those who delude themselves with
the idea that the recent Rebellion, its
cause and consequences, are things to be
easily or soon forgotten, have much to
learn. The shedding of more blood, and
the expenditure of more money than any
other War recorded in history cost, de-
mands atonement and retribution. Those
who brought aboat and engaged in the
Rebellion, are drinking the bitter conse-
quenccs from their tulncss to their dregs.
Terrible indeed is their chas; ;isement.
Nor can the political Party that sym
pathized with Rebellion, that gave it
moral "aid and comfort" escape its great
share ofinglOrious responsibility. "Cop-
perhead" Democracy will 10 more be
forgiven for its leanings toward Secess-
ion than Hartford Convention Federal
ism was forgiven for its "blue-light"
sympathies in 1872. " y Com. 11dc.
DANA's analysis of President John
son Is so accurate as to be worth repro
ducing. Mr.. Johnson is, he says, in
common phrase, "a blower" lie is cor :
ceited, opinionated and self-willed; is as
ready to take affront as bull in the glad
iatorial ring when the scarlet flag is faun-
ted N his face. Like Miss Dombery's
dog, he is always barking at some i'm
aginary fee around the corner. In con-
versation ne is loud, loquacious, presum-
ing, pugnaciOus; never listens to the
other side wagS his head and says to
the man he is button-holing and boring.
You agree with me in this" mods sign
iicantly, and declares TO his silent and
weary auditor, "We understand each
other on this point" In fine, he is one
of those ill-bread, coarse-grained, thick
skinned sort of men who, at the end of
along interview, wherein he has talked at
you rather than withyou, leaves you with
the full belief that you have concurred
with his statements, because you did uot
fiercely and in words give him the lie /;
and that you have made sundry promises
to him, because, in response to his prop
ositions, you did not rise from your chair
and knock him down. .

waited him. The widows apprehensions,
communicated to her mind, and impressed
upon her nerves by what unseen power
we know not, the sympathy of the wo-
man who loaned the dog, and the silent
but certain watch of the dog himself,
formed chain of events which brought
the murderer's blood upon his own head,
