POETRY.
The Mother.
DY SEwALL MAY,

Under the shady bonghs the gentle bird
Sits silent; from her breast no sung is heard;
No joyous chant as morning wings the dew,
Only faint twitterngs to her happy mate
As he mounts Up his "matins TO renew
But far from sad her lone and silent state.
She e hears bis music as it pours along;
She fee with him the rapture Of his song;
And imaged in her bright, attentive eye
Are woods, and dales, bright sun, and azure sky,
She knows them all He rises, sports, anG sings;
But Love gives her more treasures than nus wings
Men praise the singer with the rhyIned words
He knows not of; She hears the LITTLE b.1as. I,,rea
No anxious thought henceforth Is ever spared,
TIL, with her mate and young all heaven Is shared

TIE CARMINE-ST MURDER

The murder of yesterday morning in Car
mine-st. evades all analysis and all moralzing
by its hopeless, groveling, vulgar depravity
and horror. A family of industrious working
people passed the evening before at pic
mic the husband and father, refusing to
accompany them, spent the night in drink
ing In the morning, with the devil of his
debauch still strong in him, he began cursing
his daughter for her slow ) in sewing on a
button. Her grandmother demonstrated with
the affectionate jealousy -. old age The
rum-soaked savage attacked the age1 woman,
and when his sons rushed in to sepa-
rate them, he stabbed them both, one
MORALLY. In due time he will be tried and
hanged. This is all that human justice can
do to right this miserable business to console
this family, not more deeply bereaved than
disgraced. The act of one furious minute has
thus destroyed half-dozen people, and moth
ing can be done by society or the law to
help them.
The text Is red and conspicuous enough,
but there seems to be no sermon forthcoming
to meet it. There does not appear to have
been any fault on the part of these women
and youths so frightfully visited. They had
certainly committed no crime in go
ing to the innocent merry making which
excited at first the brutal anger of the
head of the house. These hardwf liking folks are
only doing their duty in takine few hours of
amusement at proper times. When the sons
received the blows that resulted in murder,
they were engaged in an act which was, un-
questionably right and praiseworthy. After a
while, we shall hear the murderer and
his counsel pleading tha. he was
crazy with drink aud knew nothing OF
what he was doing. Neither the law nor the
human conscience can admit this plea; but he
is not the only guilty person. The man who
sold him the liquor has his share Of the guilt.

advantage i'm tho case in question.

We print curious story in other columns,
which is calculated. to throw doubt upon the

the Chief and the leading Commissioners
of Police have united in putting forth
fictitious confession of the prisoner Kate
Stoddard to deceive the public, but the evil
dence of inconsistencies i'll their conduct
iustifies such suspicious; and certainly the re-
heated bIunders of the officials were
calculated to arouse them. That these
two officials should have joined IN such
fiction to delude the alleged murderer nos
coe into the belief that the woman Stoddard
had accused and condemned herself to save
him. and that he need not fly from justice,
betrays q weakness of invention unworthy the
least experienced of amateur detectives, and
taxes our credulity. We give the statements
as floating rumors without indorsing them'
but it is safe to say that, from the first, grave
doubts of the alleged guilt of the woman
Stoddard have been entertained. 1t remains
for the police-wbo, by the way, are charging
upon each other the discredit of this clumsy
business-to prove in answer to these ru-
mors, that they have not misrepresented as

WHO FIRST CALLED THE NEGRO CON
TRdBAND"

One of Gen. Buffers laurels, and by no
means the least, is in danger. When IN May
1851, the complications of the Slavery question
and the rights of slave-owners under the
Constitution began to be seriously felt in the
prosecution of the war, and there was 4 dis
position to shuttle over the matter by giving
to the men who were making war on the Gov
eminent all the rights they had forfeited by their
hostile acts, Gen. Butler, being then In command
at Fortress Monroe startled the country with
a proclamation or general order issued 70 his
command declaring negro slaves countraband
of war; and as such cOnfscated to the Gov
eminent. The public mind was very sensitive
upon the Slavery question. The party which
had just arrived at power had profusely
promised not to interfere with Slavery in the
States. and the Administration hesitated even
In the terrible, unforeseen emergency that had
been precipitated to do anything that would
look like breach of faith. But 1t was
manifest that in the new conditions which
had arisen it would be impossible to carry
out any such understanding or promise with
ont at once giving up the struggle. IL was
perhaps, the most serious problem that con-
fronted the Government. Gen. Butler had
been Breckenridge Democrat, and when he
issued his ringing general order on thai sub
ject the whole North hailed it as deliver
ance and him as a deliverer; for it came from
a quarter which forbade the charge Of breach
of faith on the part of the party in power.
and 1t solved the problem IN an instant.
II was as much due to the suddenneSs and
unsuspectedness of the change IN his own
attitude upon the great question OF American
politics-which was takeu 10 an indication VI

THE PRESIDENTS SILVER wEDDIy0.

THE PRESIDENTS SILVER WEDDIy0.
We can all join in the congratulations
which yesterday. poured in upon the President
on the occasion Of the Twenty-ffth Ami
versary of his wedding-day. We have not
yet attained to the unexacting loyalty of some
other nations, where the practice of the
domestic virtues is regarded as something
vastly more meritorious in the lives Of rulers
than in those of subjects. We do not admit
that because q king is good citizen and
father of family he is therefore entitled to
govern forever. But the example of those
high in place is always strong for good or
evil upon the multitudcs in whose sight they
live, and the influence of well ordered
Christian household in the highest station
is not to be lightly esteemed.
There will be no discord, therefore, as there
is no impertinence in tho chorus Of good
wishes flowing in upon the President and his
wife upon this anniversary 10 which the pub
lie interest and their own exalted position
inevitably impart something of public char
acter. No one viii be less sharp in criticism
tomorrow, or less inclined to condemn any
shortcomings of the Administration, because he
has to-day given his hearty congratulations to
this united and happy household upon the
completion of their first quarter of a century
Of life in common. We certainly do not re-
linquish our own attitude of observation in
joining orr fluctuations TO those of nearer
friends, vfcn INC 5fnvcro WISH tnao 'io HcAs
twenty five years may bring around a still
more memorable and joyous festival to
family circle still unbroken and harmonious.
