God's unseen angel o'er our pathway crost, Looked on us all, and loving tbem tbe most, Straightway relieved them from life's weary load They are not lost. They are within the door Tbat shuts out loss, and every hurtful thing— With angels bright, and loved ones gone belore, In their Redeemer's presence evermore, And God himself their Lord, aod Judge, and King. And this we oall a " loss!" O, Belfish sorrow Of selfish hearts! O, we of little faith ! Let us look round, argument to borrow Why we in patience sbould await the morrow That surely must sucoeed Ihis uight of death. Aye, look npon this dreary desert path, The thorns and thistles whereso'er we turn, What trials and wbat tears, wbat wrongs and wrath \\ bat struggles and wbat strife tbe journey halhl Tbey have escaped from these: aud lo! we mourn. Ask the poor sailor, when the wreck Is done, Who with his treasures strove the shore to reach, While with tbe raging waves he battled on, Was it not joy, where every joy seemed gone, To see his loved ones landed ou the beach 2 A poor wayfarer, leading by the hand A little child, bad baited by the well To wash from off her feet the clinging sand, And tell the tired boy of that bright land Where, this long journey past, they longed to dwell. When lo! the Lord, who many mansions had, Drew near, and looked npon lhe suffering twain, Then pitying spake, "Give me the little lad ; In strength renewed, and glorious beauty clad, I'll bring him with me when I come again." Did she make answer selfishly and wrong— "Nay, but the woesl feel he, too, must share!" Or, rather, bursting into grateful song, She went her way rejoicing, and made strong To struggle on, since he was freed, from care. We will'iflo likewise ; death bath made no breach In love and sympathy, in hope and trust; No outward sign or sound our ears can reach, But there's an inward, spiritual speeoh, That greets us still, though mortal tongues be dUEt. It bids ns do the work that they laid down— Take up the song where they broke off the strain; So journeying till we reached the heavenly town, Where are laid up our treasures and our crown, And our loBt loved ones will be found again. «r»>> ri 41 mm The King of Sweden, who is a member of a society of engravers in Paris, has lately sent to them a very splendid line engraving which he executed in his leisure moments.

Abraham's instructions sto his provost marshals. 1. As your office is one lhat is unknown to the Constitution ofthe United States, and to tbe Constitution of tbe State, you must endeavor to impress the people as much as possible with tbe dignity and importance of your official position, by evincing as much contempt as you cau forthe foolish, old fashioned laws of the States* which are now entirely obsolete, being unfitted for the exigencies of the time. 2. You are to spoak continually, and In all places, of the "odious," hinfamous," "execrable,'' "infernal," and "damnable" doctrines of State Rights. 3. Never under any circumstances, allude to the Constitution ; and if you hear the word on any man's lips, arrest him immediately. 4. It is a disloyal pratice for any man to allude to the exploded mode of trial by jury. Arrest all sucb. 5. Accuse all Democrats ot every crime under heaven, and if the scoundrels presume to argue with you, arrest them. 6. All who talk about liberty of speech aud presB are traitors—arrest all sucb. 7. All who prate about the habeas corpus are enemies of the Government—arrest them. 8. Studiously avoid the word freedom, except as applied to negroes. Arrest all who are guilty Of suoh disloyal practices. 9. Use, whenever you can, the ear-tickling words, loyal, and "supporting the Government,'' but always in such a way as to mean the subversion of tbe miserable old Government, aod the support ol my new system. If yon hear any man use the words in any other connection, arrest him. 10. It is opposing the Government for any man to speak of restoring the Union as it was. Arrest such. 11. It is a disloyal practice for any man to speak ofthe size of my feet, or otherwise to allude tome execpt in praise of my personal beauty, and of my emancipation policy. Arrest them. 12. If you hear any man say that I know better how to tell stories than to oonduct the affairs of tbe nation, he is disloyal. 13. If you hear any man allude with respect to the ridiculous article, in tbe old constitution, which protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures, anest him instantly. If you find no contraband letters and documents about him, it will be proof that he has taken tbe precaution to destroy them, and will be sufficient evidence of his guilt. Lock him up. 14. It is opposing the Government for any man to Bay tbat the Abolitionists ought to enlist to belpdosome ot the fighting. Arrest all sucb traitors. 15. Arrest aay body you please, and if any man complains arrest bim, for be is disloyal, and an enemy to tbe Government. lfi. If anybody should blow your brains out while attempting an "illegal arrest," tell the devil that you died serving me. He will reward you accoidingly.— Old Guard. Return of Mr. Vallandlgliam. Mr. Vallandlgham has returned to Ohio. Iu doing this he had done right; the only bad feature of it being tardiness. He should never have respected tbe ukase of bis expatriation. He should at the first opportunity, have thrown himself upon his rights as an American citizen, and have presented squarely the issue between the despotic acts ofa mere individual and the constitutional rights of a citizen of this Republic. Wbo banished Mr. Vallandigbam? Was it a properly constitued court ot law before which he was brought by established processes, aod his guilt properly substantiated, and as a conclusion of whioh hd was found guilty by a jury of his peers and thereafter punished by "banishment" as provided by law ? Not at all. Who banished him ? Mr. Lincoln—and who is Mr. Lincoln who thus, in person, or through bis agents, takes upon himself the part ol Sheriff, Judge and Jury ? He is nobody in these capacities—a mere individual—a mere John Smith, beariug no more extended relations to society than any other John Smith. Should his acts as an individual be respected, then ? No; and therefore Mr. Vallandigham, who was banished by Mr. Lincoln, the individual, the mere man, does right when he refuses to obey any order issued by Mr. Lincoln. , The question for Mr. Vallandigham is. not one of resistance to law, but of adherence to law and resistance to tyranny. He was not banished by law ; no Court had taken cognizance ot his case ; he was not tried or sentenced by a legally constituted tribunal. He was simply kidnapped and taken out of tbe country by a posse acting under no valid authority. It a body of ruffians under the leadership of some Bill Jones, Tom. Smith or Abe Lincoln, should come to Chicago and seize some citizen and hurry him off to some secluded plaoe, and tbere in a court with Judge Lynch presiding, should sentence tbe citizen to be hung, or to be sent to Canada, and should proceed tb carry that sentence Into effect, tbey would do precisely what was done some mouths since by a posse of men to Mr. Vallandigham. Would that citizen be thought guilty of disobedience to law if he should refuse to stay In Canada, whither he was banished by these ruffians? No; nor Is Mr. Vallandigham any more guilty of disobedience to law when he refuses to stay where he was sent by a body of irresponsible men. *' "f"' If Mr. Linooln ohooses to attempt to arrest Mr. Vallandigham and again send him out of the country, a question will be raised in which every citizen in the Republic is interested, lt is whether the Constitutional rights of tbe citizen can be abrogated by the will of a mere individual; it ts, in short, whelher the Constitution or the simple will of.a despot is supreme. It can be settled now as well aa ever; it is better to settle'it now, fcrIP tbe country submits longer to attempts to suppress the freedom of the press and the citizen, we will yield ourselves to a tyranny which in a little while will reduce thia people to a condition more infamous and degrading than the Helotism iu ancient Sparta. If Mr. Lincoln Is wise, he will not attempt further usurpations; the people bave borne much already, and the time iB close at hand when a further endurance will cease to be either a virtue or a \ possibility.— Chicago Times. Lincoln nnd Johnson. The age of statesmen is gone; tha age ot rail- epliters and tailors, of buffoons, boors and fanatics, has succeeded. God furbid that we should reproach Mr. Lincoln or Mr. Johnson with tbe narrowness of their early ciroumstanoes, which precluded opportunities of culture. Bnt when men are proposed for the highest and most responsible offices ia tbe Republic, there necessarily arises the question relating iu part to training and antecedents, but turning, in tbe main, oo the possession of present qualifications. The problems presented for solution within the next four years are more complex and difficult, they require a larger grasp and deeper penetration, than any whioh have ever been offered to the consideration of statesmen.— But Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Johnson are both men of medioore talents, neglected education, narrow views, deficient information, and coarse, vulgar manners. A statesman ia presumed to be a man of some depth of thought and extent of knowledge; profoundly versed, if not iu history, at least in the policy, resources, and aims of all tho leading contemporary governments of tha world; in the character, qualifications, and idiosyncrasies of their publio men; and in the bearings of tbeir most important measures and projects on the development of commerce, the growth qf civilization and the progress or retardation of free principles of government. It Ib needless io say that neither 'n this sense, nor in any high sense, are the Republican nominees statesmen, Except a superficial knowledge of oar domestio politics, such" as may be ploked up in the newspapers and in intercourse with the vulgar herd of office-seekers, Mr. Lincoln and Mr Johnson have no attainments to distingush them from the mass of ordinary citizens. That a country whose Jurisprudence bas been adorned by Marshall, Kent, Story; whose diplomacy boasts of such names as Franklin, Jefferson, the Adamses,Cling, Webster; whose finances hava been mauaged by Hamilton, Gallatin, Taney; whose congressional debate! have borrowed luster from the eloquence of Adams, Clay, Calhoun; whose chief magistracy baa beeu tilled by Washington aud an unbroken succession of illustrious statesmen down to Van Buren, and by many able men since;—tbat this oountry, with so proud a record, should now be reduoed to suoh intellectual poverty as to havo presented to it two such names as Abraham Lin* coin and Andrew Johnson for its highest stations, >n the most trying crisis of its history, is it cruel mockery, a bitter humiliation. Tbe only merit we oan discover in this Baltimore ticket is tbe merit of consistency; irk all of a piece; tbe tail does not shame the head, nor the bead shame the tail. A rail-splitting buffoon and and a boorish tailor, both growing up in uncouth iguoranoe, they would afford a grotesque subjeot for a satiric poet, who might celebrate tbem ia such strains as Dean Swift bestowed on Whistoa and Ditton or Aristophanes ou tbat servilve demagogue, Hyperbolas. We degrade our highest offices as the free ropublics of antiquity scorned to degrade even their political punishments. Whea tbe ostracism by which illustrious statesmen like) Aristides, Themistocles, aud Alolbiades were banished, at lengnnell on a man of au origin and character similar to the Baltimore candidates, namely, oif'the aforesaid Hyperbolus, tbe proud and high spirited Greeks abolished tho ostracism which had beeu thus debased. But we are less jealous of the honor of our highest offices than they were of the method by which they set tha pretensions of their statesmen aside. If the Republican party, having weighed Sew* ard and the rest of their statesmen in the balance and tonnd them wanting, are too poor in talent to present from civil life any more commanding names tban those they have selected at Baltimore they might at least have shown a grateful appreciation of the merits of our distinguished soldiers. Io point of intellect and statesmanship it wonld be bard to find among our educated 'generals men of smaller caliber than the actual candidates; while the luster of arms would have shed- A dignity on the ticket which might have rescued it from the oontampt of intelligent men. Tbe military feeling of tbe country, never so active and pervading as now, will refuse to keep step to tha music of this ticket. A popular candidate from the army will take from tha Baltimore nominees all support, except suoh as can be controlled by fanaticism and shoddy. In a crisis of the most appalling magnitude, requiring statesmanship of the highest order, the country is asked to consider the claims of two ignorant, boorish, third-rate, backwoods lawyers, for the highest stations in the government. Suoh nominations, io such a conjuncture, are an Insult to the common sense of the people. God save the Republio '.—New York World. m*> " *» " ««»» ' Wine Making in Connecticut.—I am surprised to find in the course of my drives back in tha country, how many of our old time farmers aro. applying themselves iu a modest and aomewhat fugitive way, to wine making. It is true they bring under contribution a great many fox swamp varieties and are not very careful in regard to ripeness; but faults of acidity they correct by a heavy sugaring, whicb gives an innocent and bouncing per centage of alcohol. I think tbe development of thia borne manufacture has beeu quickened by Maine laws, heavy import duties, and by a growing reluctance on the part of the heads of families to carry a demijobn in the wagoa I also hear the home produot commended by the old gentlemen manufacturers, as 'warming to the in'ards ;' and in large doses, I should think It might be.
