The green leaves rustic in the breeze, the
summer sun Is low,
with crimson and with amethyst, the sky Ia all
aglow;
The splash Of oars comes from the lake the

sings songs Of love to cheer his mate. And on
the south wind borne.
There comes a sound OF tinkling bells from
Wonder hillside fold,
What time the sunset cleaning, tips the clover
bnds with gold.
The lark grows still, his clarion shrill ceases,
and to his rest
Down drops he eagerly to join his brown mate
on her nest.
Oh, air like balm Oh, stilly calm Oh, peace

And lilies float upon the moat and 'yond the
pine-clad hill
Arisetb mp the evening star, with silver lamp

And planning zephyrs through the leaves OF

When from her couch Asterope comes forth, a
dark-hro ed queen,
And draws her purple star-strewn veil across

FEMALE LABoRERs. - That women
should not be employed in field work
would seem desirable on the ground of
proprietv, but the English agricultural
labCrers have another and more forcible
objection as we learn from an exchange.
They say that women being raid at much
lower rate, their employment in the field
tends to keep down the wages of the men.
The women are willing enough to work,
however, even for the insufficient wages
doled out to them; and considering the
frightful amount of depravity aud sin
prevale mt among the serfs Of the English
iandow ners. it is perhaps as well that the
femal IS of the agricultural classes should
be kept from the evils hat follow on
idleness. But what an example for the
children who see their mothers laborlng
side by side with the horses and oxen of
their employers

THE JUBILEE BONDS. In the English
army. reRimental musicians get from
thirteen pence to two shillings per diem,
sergeants get even less The lucky ones
who are on the Jubilee excursion are paid
g per diem in gold per man from the
time they left their own several countries
until they return thither, besides having
their expenses paid both coming and
going. This enormous increase Of valu-
alton maddened them, and they dream
of fabulous sums to be won from the
American purse. Well, they have good
reason to think we are very rich fools.
Here comes somebody from New York
Offering the French band the munificent
sum of 81 800 per diem in gold for six
DAYS, one concert on each day, all ex-
penses, including bottle of wine each
day to each mans dinner, and general
allowance of s205 gold, to keen the men

Mr.. Bepcher on Betting.

Henry Ward Beecher inquiries of Mr..
Bonner, IN the last issue Of the Ledger
"Mr. Bonner. do you ever bet Do you
think it helps business, tests u msn's
sincerity, aids his morals, or, in the long
run, fills his pockets :? How is IL with
Dexter, Startle, and Pocahontas ? Do
you think n bet on their performance
would get two seconds less out of them"
And then he goes on to argue the
question thus
There is another matter -
Betting on Elections. Can anything be
more foreign TO good sense, sound prin.
ciples, and real pati iotism, than to turn
politics into a huge gambling game ?
are they not bad enough already ? Do
they not stir up the passions OF men
enough, without this Greek fire of bet.
ting?
There are two kinds: the larger bet
ting, which means real business, which is
carried out in the expectation Of making
money. There is another minor betting
for u hat, suit of clothes, supper,
OF any other small matter. This is mere
pander to the other. 1t breaks down
the principle and smotbers the con
science. A man who bets five dollars
NAV not be stimulated as much by that
small risk. as il he had planted five thou.
sand but he is as really gambler. If
it is right for respectable man to bet
on election pair Of gloves or a dozen
oysters, theme it is right to make up
bank for $4,000.
1t seems to me that every right-mind-
ed man, who has hitherto made bets on
the results Of political campaigns should
look upon this matter more soberly, aud
refuse to add spark to the fire which
already burns fiercely enough. A bet
ting man is always on the side of bad
company. That way lies all manner Of
knavery. A'man who never bets is on
PLAIN, open, unquestiouable ground.
Only brutal fellow would bet on bis
mothers chances, il she was critically
sick. No man would bet on his brothers
life, if he was on trial for treason, or on
his children's chances, if mortal disease
should break out amoung them. Why
not Even .rute would feel that such
betting was dishonorable
Why should one bet on that which
should be to every honest man as sacred
as his own household, namely, the affairs
of the commonwealth-the interests Of
patriotism ? The virus of gambling is
hard to expel when once it is in the
blood.

TINE TO STOP.-On last Wednesday
night after the Greeley and Brown ratifica-
ton torch-light procession had returned t.
the Capitol, a strong disposition was shown
on the part of several prominent white and
colOred Radicals, assisted by about ten
drunken soldiers to disturb the harmony of
the meeting, or break 1t up entirely. By dis
turbing the speakers, yelling, hurrahing for
Grant, &c. Fortunately great forbearance
was shown by those who were participating
in the ratification. This was attempted
when the nomination of Seymore and Blair
was ratified in 1865 by contemplate fell
low, wearing shoulder-straps, ordering his
cavalry, who were present, to charge into
the procession. This thing of bayonet rule
has now played out. If the soldiers cannot
keep sober and behave themselves the ofi-
GERS had better keep them in camp upon such
occasions. On Wednesday night their con-
duct was such as TO have brought on riot /;
there were two of the officers from the
camp present, who did nothing to control
their men.
