THE BIRDS.

One day in the bluest of summer weather,
Skctching under a whispering oak,
heard five bobolinks laughing together
Over some archaeological joke.
What the fun was, couldn't discover
Language Of birds is riddle Gu earth
What could they find in white-weed aud clover
To split their sides with such musical migth!
Was Il some prank of the prOdigal summer
Face in the cloud OF voice in the breeze
QuerulOus cat-bird-woodpeeker drummer
CaWing of crows high over the trees?
Was il some ehip-muck's ehatter-or weasel
Under the stone wall stealthy and sly -
Or was the joke about me at my easel,
Trying to catch the tints Of the sky!
Still they few tipsily, shaking airover,
Bubbling with jollity. brimlul of glee-
while sat listening deep in the clover
Wondering what their jargon could be.
Twas but the voice Of morning the brightest
That ever dawnea over yon Shadowy hills
'ISas but the song Of all joy that is lightest-
Sunshine breaking in laughter and trills.
Vain to conjecture the words they are singing,
Only by tones can we follow the tune;
In the full heart Of the summer fields ringing,
Ringing the rhythmieal gladness of June

TRUE HERoIsM.
ny GRANT p. ROBINSON.

Let others write of battles fought
On bloody, CHASTITY fields,
Where honor greets the man who wins,
And death the man who yields;
But / will write Of him who fights
And vanquishes his sins,
Who struggles on through weary years,
Against himself, and wins.
He Is hero staunch and brave,
Who fights an unseen foe.
And puts at last beneath his feet
His passions base and lew,
And stands erect in manhood's might,
Undauntcd, undismayed--
The bravest man that drew sword
In foray or in raid.
II calls for something more than Drawn.
Or muscle 60 o'ercnme
An enemy who mareheth not
With banner. plume and drum
A foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, stealthy tread.
Forever near your board by day,
At night beside your bed.
All honor then To the brave heart,
Though poor or rich no be,
Who struggles with his haser part
Who eonquerS, and Is free.
He may not wear n hero's crown,
Or ill a hero's grave;
But truth viii place his namc among
Tie braveSt of the brave.

The CarIist Failure In spain.

Tie CaYlist insurrection, which was not long
since introduced to the notice of our readers
by a sensational account of the fight Of Don
Carlos to the Spanish frontier, pursued by the
French police, has come to an abrupt termina-
ton, II we may credit the kilograms from Ma
drid. The few Carllsts that rose in arms were
everywhere dispersed, several were made pri-
soners and either banished or promptly executed
by court martial. Don Carlos himself is said to
have discountenanced any further attempts on
the part of his followers tor the present, and
is probably as anxious to escape from the
country now as he once was to enter 1t. His
party must either be contemplate or contemp-
tibly organized, promising in either case to
make but little mark in the history of their
country. Ii is not without surprise that we
read of such paltry termination to what
promised to be a formidable instruction.
While we never anticipated anything but fall
ure to the enterprise, we yet expected that
Don Carlos would have shown more pluck and
determination than to suffer himself to be
scared by o few musket shots. Still, for hui
manity's sake, 1t is better the affair should
end thus soon than later, and we hope the
new Regent and his Cabinet will deal leniently
with those that have been arrested, who re-
present themselves, and no doubt truly, as
having been deceived by the emissares of
Don Carlos.
The government that now exists in Spain
seems, on the whole, the best and strongest
that has ruled that country within the present
century, and the probabilities are in favor Of
its being able to crush every attempt, reac-
tionary or otherwise, that may be made against
it. Serrano aud his colleagues have shown
their sagacity in going neither too fast nor too
slow, and ii they can get over their Cuban
difficulty by disposlng of the island to our
government in such way as to replenish
their empty treasury they will have strength
ened themselves on their weakest and most
vulnerable side; for Spain, like Italy, has men
enough for any war against any aggressor,
but has neither means nor credit enough. ex-
cept at ruinous interest, to equip them with
all the appliances made necessary by The i'm
proyements of modern warfare.

WOUND Up.-The suspension Of the Baltic
Fire Insurance Company seems only an iso-
lated case of bad management or bad luck,
and gives gratifying evidence Of the scrutiny
exercised by the State authorities, through
whose action it is compelled to wind up, be-
cause II is not in condition to pay losses if it
should meet any, and to continue while in
that condition would be only to gamble with
an unsophisticated public.

Two members Of the Cabinet have thought
nt to write letters to influence the elections In
the Southern States. Mr.. Boutwell, first, and
now Mr.. Creswell, have attempted to interfere
In the local affairs Of Tennessee in favor OF
the ultra radicals and for political ends. Of
course 1t was supposed by these gentlemen
that their official position as members Of Cen
erai Grants Cabinet would have great weight
In the elections and in turning the scale favor
ably for the ultra radical party. The effect
may be contrary to what they expected, and
the voters of Tennessee may be indignant at
the conduct of these officials; but whatever
may be the result, both Mr.. Boutwell, and Mr..
Creswell have gone beyond their duty and
are guilty of impertinent interference in the af-
fairs Of a Southern State. It Is an outrage
upon the people Of Tennessee and disgrace
to the administration of which they form
part The question naturally arises, did the
President know of and endorse the action of
these members Of his Cabinets We are in
clined to think he did not, for in such case
he would be committed to that branch of
VIC AuViCut parry WhkOu IN OCiHB uCAo"scu
nearly everywhere In the South. Ho would
be abandoning the conservative views he has
expressed and would destroy the hopes of the
country In his government. We believe Gen
cral Grant wishes to give the people OF the
South aud the people in every State fair
and unbiased expression Of THEN opinions,
If 80, and If he does not intend TO commit
himself to the policy of the ultra radicals, his
Cabinet is not in accord with him and not
unit. With such discord and independent ac-
ton on the part Of Its members the admins
tration will become weak, unpopular and
failure The first thing to give strength and
efficiency to his government Is to have unity
and harmony in the Cabinet. Let the Presi-
dent look 10 this, for the country will hold
him responsible for the conduct Of members Of
the administration.
