Never Give Up.

Never give up! 1t is wiser and better
Always to hope than once to despair;
Throw of the load of doubts cankerina
fetter,
And break the dark spell of tyrannical
care,
Never give up! or the burden will sink you
Providence has kindly mingled the cup,
And in all trials and troubles bethink you.
The watchword Of life should be-Never
give mp.
Never give up! There are chances and
changes
Helping the hopeful hundred to one,
And amid the chaos, high wisdom arranges
Ever success-ify on IL only hope on.
Never give up! for the wisest is boldest,
Knowing that Providence mingles the cup,
And of all maxims the best as the oldest
Is the true watchward-Never give up.
Never give up, though the grape shot may
rattle,
And the full thunder cloud over you burst;
Stand like rock, and the storm or the
battle
Little can harm you, though doing their
worst.
Never give up! If adversely presses,
Providence has wisely mingled the cup,
And the best counsel in all your distrssses
is the stout watchword of-Never give up.

My Little Girls Story.

Pm going now 10 tell you
A little story true,
About the charming duties
God wishes me to do.
My little hsnSs 70 busy
In many a little deed
OF kindness and compassion,
Forevery one in need.
My little eyes must also learn
To look on pretty things,
Which god has made more beautiful
Than robes and crowns of kings.
Must try to keep my little ears
From hearing naughty tongues.
And bring them where they hear the
birds
All singing joyful songs.
Must keep my little takers
From every angry word,
And teach my little walkers
To run the heavenly road.
My little heart, which God has made
To choose the wrong and right.
Iii daily bring to Jesus
To love with all my might.

lHE DESPERATE SCHEMES OF THE Re.
BELLIoN The most important of the old
rebel documents that the administration
has recently purchased for S75 900 un.
der authority of an act of Congress that
few understood when it was passed,is the
report of Jacob Thompson, formerly of
Mississippi, who was the rebel agent in
Canada, and who had charge of the or.
ganization of the rebel incendary parties
which visited some Of the northern cities
and who, indeed, had charge of all the in-
Surrectionary work attempted by the con-
tederacy in the nothern and western states.
1t was made in December, 1864 aud re.
received at Richmond early in 1865. OF
course all the information it contains has
now lost all value save for historical pur.
poses, unless, as is claimed, the Grant
Ieakers at Washington conclude TO use il
Tor political effect in reexciting sectional
feeling and compromising in diabolical
schemes some Of the southern men who
are now supporting Mr.. Greeley. A de-
tailed account OF the western copperhead
organization known as the Sons of Liber-
~ is given in the document; and a state
ment of the effsrts of Thompson TO or
sanize a rebel uprising in the states Hi
nois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Kentucky
and Missouri, 1t also refers to the or
ganization OF peace meetings in order to
lire the popular heart. Days were set
apart for the uprising; arms were Gistri.
buted; steamboat purchased, and all
things ready. Tho npson explains why
the uprising was pos poned until after the
democratic convention which nominated
Mcclellan, and why it was finally aoan.
doned. 1t seems that its failure was due
to very prominent politician in Indiana
who was candidate for office, and thot
the movement would iniure his chances
for success. He therefore threatened TO
betray thewhole plot to the government
unless it was at once abandoped. After
this organization was aba oIed, a new
one was started, which was under some.
thing like military discipline, the object
of which was to resist draft. A full ac.
count is given of the plot to release the
rebel prisoners at Camp Douglas and
Johnson's Island, and of the attempt to
seize the U. S. steamer Michigan; and the
names of agents ard confdants are Civ
en-. The report also shows to whom mon
ey was furnished to commit certain
crimes, such as burning the cities of New
York, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis;
shows that the rebels during the war
communicated with their agents in the
North through the New York News, and
given much other history heretofore con.
cealed. And it unhesitatingly says tina,
the plots to burn the northern cities
would have succeeded but for the foolish
experiments with Greek Ere.
