Senator Gioesbeck, War Democrat made
a speech at Cleveland last Friday night, in
which he said


If the rebellion should succeed, there you'd

Ohio and all around Already schemes are on
foot for the separation of the West from the
East. lie vas Tor the Wtst in the Union

centre Of the Whole Union. He did not want


he West separated from the East 1t shall
not lie separated from the South. Ii must re
main the heart, the body, and the soul Of all
the U nion.


With regard to the Proclamation, he ron
sidered it a question Of policy, and had doubt
ed its policy, but was uuable to comprehend
how any constitutional question came into it.
The Proclamation refers to persons only
1t does not Interfere with the Constellation
or internal arrangements of any State. Ii
simply deals with persons, and holds out in
ducements to these persons not to assist the
rrbels. The COnsti ution provides for war
power to preserve the life OF the nation, and it
is in The exercise of Ills war power that the
proclamation was put forth. There is no lin
il, to the war power, when u ed to defend tue
life of the mutton. Ii the proclamation abu!-
ished slavery or charged the Consultation ol
State, il might be unconstitutional, but ii
simply provides for the taking of the properly
of the rebels, having the laws and constitu
tiuns Of the States untouched.


The Proclamation of itself does not make
the slaves free. Tie slaves must Of themselves
render that assistance 10 the UIi iou which is
contemplated by the Proclamation, or they
canrGt enj"y its benefits. They must work
out their own freedom under The Proelnma-
tion, but do uot obtain it simply by that doc
umrnt. The Proclamation does not violate
either the Constitution of the United States
or the Law of Nations. Whether the Proc
rInatiou be wise or unwise. whether it be
right or wrong, he stood by the Union.


He deprecated any party policy that would
conflict with the cause Of the Union. If there
is a policy that should be cherished fas'eu il
to the Union flag and it shall be preserved
Stand by everything that is Tor the Union,
duwn with everything that is against it.

Strong stocks of bees need little

We have heard it suggested in
conversation that aur farmers would
do well to plant largely this season,
and raise all that they can of staple
crops. We think the suggestion n
good one. Present prices of agri-
cultural products are highly pemu-
nerative to the farmer. Nor is there
any probability of decline i'm de.
paand. Should the war continue be-
yond the present season, the army
must be fed and supplied with ami
nsahs and forage for animals as at
present. Should it not continue.
then the whole population of the
South would need our surplus to re-
heye their most pressing wants. So
that, III any event, the demand for
farm products must continue to be
great and prices profitable. Last
year we had a most abundant har-
vest we hope for like blessing
the coming year. But there is, OF
course, possibility of unpropitfous
season, and for this we ought to be
prepared by planting largely, SO the
aggregate Of supplies may not prove
insufficient for the needs Of the
country.

A gentleman was walking OveT
his farm with a friend, exhibiting hIg
crops, cattle and sheep, with all Of
which his friend was highly pleased
but with nothing so much as his
splendid sheep. He had seen the

had never seen neutrality-suspicious.,
and with great earnestness he asked
to know how he had succeeded in
producing such fiocks. His simple
answer was, 4 take care of my lambs

Every man, rich or poor, in town
or in country, should should culti@
vate some piece of ground, no mat
ter how small, and have something
either useful or beautiful growing
in it, if it be within the scope Of
possibility. A garden creates a
taste for simple pleasures. Those
flowers and simple trees that may
or may not interest the passing
stranger, will always be looked up
on with interest and affection by the
eye of him who planted them with
his own hand. This love of natural
beauties is the best antagonist to
love Of artificial stimulating and
expensive excitement. A garden
attaches a man permanently to his
home. 1t is a kind of sheet an
chOr, that ties a man fast to place

little roots and tendrils, numerous
as those of the trees he has planted.

think there are no preachers outside OF

which their talent and merit entitle them,

the press IN prompting religious, charitable
and other public undertakings It ought
to be noted here that this service is always
done gr0tutoasy. tfs


The home press keeps watehful eye over
the financial interests of the public. Itsees
that Encouragement, waste and fraud do
not squander the country, township and
school revenues. 1t affords a medium, for
the rebnke of wrong in this direction which
cannot be spared.


/ The country press is the most efficient
promoter Of political SUCCESS, to the party
which most faithfully employs it. Ne.
tropolitan papers may excel their humber
brethren Of the country in framing long and
heavy arguments for their cause, but they
cannot do the duty of scouts and skirmish.
ers, however well they may do to lead the
van OF, the army. The local press is on the
ground, meeting every peculiar and local
contingency, aninating its friends and Sc.
curing among them unity, promptness and
coherency of action. They call out the
masses to conventions, they secure attend
a,nce on township aud county meetings, they
do the work Of organization and drill. or
the work goes undone. The metropolitan
press cannot do this work. They may do
the wind work, but without the effective
work OF the local press. all their wind work
does nothing. Political responsibility and
success depends on numbers, and to get
them we must meet them where they live.
Any party which prefers the city to the
country press, so as. to allow the latter to
lan,guish, is promoting its own discontinue.


We therefore say to all, support your
h)me papers. Use them and use them well.

The folio wing letter was written by an
old friend to a youg lady on the eve Of her
wedding day:


have sent you few flowers to adorn the
dying moments ofyour single life. They
are the gentle types Of, a delicate and dura-
bic friendship. They spring up by your
side when others have deserted it, and they
will be found watching over our graves
when those who should have cherished have
forgotten US. 1t seems that past 80 calm
and pure as yours, should expire with
kindred sweetness about it; that flowers
add music, kind friends and earnest words,
should consecrate the hour when q senti.
ment is passing into sacrament.


The three great sta0es of our being are
the birth the bridal and the burial. To the
FIRST we bring only weakness-for the last
we have nothing but dust. But here, at
the altar, where life joins lie, the pair comes
throbbing up to the holy man, whispering
the deep promises that warns each others
heart, to help on in the life struggle of care
ana duty. The beautiful will be there bor..
rowing new beauty from the scene. The
gay and the frivolous, they will look solemn
for once. and age will totter up to hear the
old words repeated that to their own lives
have gwen the charm. Some will weep
over if as If it were tomb, and some laugh
over it as if were joke but two must
stand by it, for it is fate, not fun this ever
lasting locking of their lives.


Aud now can you, who have queened it
over so many bending forms, can you come
down at last to the frugal diet of q single
heart Hitherto you have been clock,
giving your time to all the world. Now you
are watch buried in one particular bosom,
warming only his breast, marking only his
hou rs, and ticking only to the beat Of his
hear s-when time and feeling shall be in
unison, until these lower ties are lost in that
higher wedlock where all hearts are united
around the central heart Of God.
