The LnngIl OF u Child.


The laugh of child will make the ho-
liest day more sacred. Strike with hands
of fire, oh weird musician, thy harp strung
with Apollo's golden hair, fill the vast Ca
thedral aisles with symphonies sweet and
dim, deft TOUGHER Of the organ keys; blow,
bngler, blow, until thy silver notes do
toucl, and kias the moonlit waves and
charm the lovers wandering mid vine clad
hills. But you know your sweetest strains
are discords all compared with childhood's Is
happy laugh-the laugh that fills the eyes
with light and every heart with Joy. Oh,
ripping river OF laughter! thou art the
bles.ed boundary line between beast and
men and every wavward wave OF thine
doth drown some iretlul fend ofcare. tOh,
Laughter, rose.lipped daughter OF Joy
there are dimples enough in thy cheeks
to catch and hold and gloriiy all the tears

CLEARING OFF.

1.-THE morning coneth and also the
night" Lights and shadows; storms and
sunshine, joy and sorrow, chase each other
all the way from earth TO heaven. This
is the order of things everywhere the
world over. 1t speaks well for the Great
Creator, who in the affairs of earth, has
made everything beautiful in His time,
When the night has been dark, the storm
fearful, and the sorrow very bitter, ca
pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold
the sum-" In these transitions we have
had some of eur sweetest experiences. Af-
ter n long time OF watching and waiting
nothing can exceed the impressions thai
enter our senses ns we catch n glimpse
OF the blue sky and see the morning star.
No artist, be lie poet or painter, can 30
touch our heart with his picture, as the
sun in his rising. The night in his
blnckness forms back ground on which
the light seems to he chasing away shad-
ows. An uncqualled race in which the
glory of the morning oMtgenerals the mys-
terry of the night, which seems to say, "The
morning cOmeth and nso the night, and in
the dim procession morning comes after
which there will be no night" Day van
quishes night and over death immoi Ia litv
sits sereenely n victor. In their passing,
| these lights and shadows have their rises
| In the formation Of our manhood we need
to pass through sunshine and storm. We
love to cherish the memory of our father,
those noble men and women who fought
the battles of the revolution. We live
their lives over again. We seem to he with
them at Bunker Hill, at Valley Forge, and
at Yorktown, and as the bell Of Intlepend
ence Hall rings out the notes of victory
after a seven years war, we too share Will
them in the warmth and glow OF those he
roic days. Had il not been tor the battles
they fought and the victories they won W,
could not so honor the memory of thos,
men, nor could we feel, rs we now do
that we have among us the worthy sons u
such fathers, had we not seen them AT Bull'
Run, Gettysburg and Petersburg. Neithe
our Immortal Lincoln had il not been 10
that dark hour in the brilliant history o
his life Mt Ford's Theatre. Who conl,
have known the one.hmlf about Jane
: Birdseye Mcpherson that we now kno,
had not rebe's bullet laid him low jus
on the verge Of great victory before Al
lanta? And then how could we hay
known 30 much about the brave snlere
and his little group Mt the White House
OF the struggles OF his boyhood and tn
noble bearing Of his manhood had it nc
been for the dark, vely dark hour at th
Baltimore depot. The deep damnation q
his taking of will ever be back groun
on whose sombre coloring the underline
of James A. Garfield will forever shin

An Explanation OF the CONSUMPTION
Art

Att.
Artemus Ward sent circular to the
Boston Post in 1868, which will revive
some pleasant, and probably some unplcas-
ant, rccolections OF the draft in that year.
1t reaches our columns in rather clrcnit-
ous route. In looking through our liter.
ary lore a few days since Tor some treasur.
ed article laid aside during the late un-
pleasantness to put on exhibition at the
Lawn Fete, we chanced upon depleted
copy OF The Bugle Horn of Liberty, pub.
lished in Tennessee, and taken from the
pocket Of deceased rebel at the battle OF
Lookout Mountain, in which we find Ar
tcmus' circular. 1t will be remembered
that the conscription act, or draft-not un-
like some of our liquor laws or political
platforms relating thereto-was very diff
cult of comprehension and required numer-
ous explanatory circulars from the War
Department. This aroused the patriotism
az we'll MS the genius Of Mr.. Ward, who
volunteered his services to assist the
department out of the dilemma. His cir
cular reads as follows:
CIRCULAR NO. 7S.
AS the undersigned has been led to fear
that the law regulating the draft was not
wholly understood, notwithstanding the
numerous explanatory circulars that have
late, he hereby issues circular of his own;
and ii he shall succeed in making his fa-
vorite measures more clear to n discerning
public, he will feel that he has not lived
in vain:
l. A young man who is drafted and in.
advertan,ly goes to Canada, where he be.
comes embroiled with robust English
party, who knocks him around 80 MS tc
disable him for lite, the same occurring in
n licensed bar room on British soil, such
young man cannot receive a pension on &C
count of said injuries from the United
States Government, neither can his heir
or creditors.
2. No drafted men, in going TO the ap
pointed rendezvous, will be permitted t.
go round by way OF Canada on account o
the roads being better that way or becaus
his Uncle William" lives there.
g. Any gentleman living in Ireland, whit
wns never in this country is not liable t.
the draft, nor are our forefathers. Thi
latter statement is made for the benefit o
those enrolling officers who have acted o,
the supposition that the ableEodied mall
population of place included dead gen
tlemen in the cemeteries.
A. The term of enlistment is for thre
years, but any man who may have beel
drafted in two places has a right to go TO
six years, whether the war lasts that lengtl
OF time or not, right this department
hopes he will insist on.
B. The only son of n poor widow, who's
husband is in California, nre not exemp
but the man who owns stock in the Yer
mont Central Railroad is. So, also, ar
incessant lunatics, habitual lecturers, pei
, sons who are born with wooden legs an
false teeth. Blind men, (unless they wi
acknowledge that they "can see i,,") an
people who deliberately voted ior Joh

Houses, barns, fences, grain, and everything
consumable are swept away by the deyast-

meeting and subscribed 100000 for the re-
lief of the sufferers, and put their hands in
their pockets and raised 5000 in few mo-

the same day for immediate want. They
will raise s5OO,OOO If necessary to prevent
