MY   NEIGHBOR.
Jonathan Bliss lives over the way—
Aud every morning at break of day,
When to the meadow I wend my way
To milk my cow,
I get a bow
From Jonathan, over the way,
Eyes of the deepest, tenderest blue.
That smiles may ripple or tears bedew,
Or passion kindle with love-light true,
Are his whose .irt
Has won my heart*,
Are Jonathan's, over tbe way.       i
Hair of tbe brightest, loveliest shade,
That brown in the sunlight ever made,
Or daintiest chupeau overlaid,
Has he whose smile
Kuoweth no guile,
Has Jonathan, over the way.
Acres of wheat, of barley, and corn—
Workmen awaiting tiie dinner born,
Fiocke tbat are thriving,   aud liocks unshorn,
Feeding on hills.
Or quailing at rill*3,
Has Jonathan, over the way.
Beauty, and wealth,   ami goodness combined,
Treasures  of purse, aud   treasures of mind—
Perfect is be as any you'll find,
Is lie whose praise
Inspires my lays,
Is Jonathan, over the way,
[Mary J. Crossman.

Tbe N. Y, Metropolitan Record, referring to
the uew conscription law, says:
"Tbe crowning act of despotism, the most atrocious piece of legislation which the late Congress
has perpetrated, is the Conscription Law, wbicb is
hardly iess intolerable than that wbich has driven
Poland iuto wide-spread insurrection. In this
measure the radical and fanatical policy ot Congress has reached its climax. That body iu its last
days, attained lbe 'bad eminence, to whicb It was
so long aspiring ; and ita last act is tbe most deadly blow ihat lias yet beeu aimed at tbe liberties of
the people; it is the most euveuoraed shaft that
bas yet beeu burled at tbe heart ot the Republic,
aud if the people are untrue to themselves in tbis
dire emergency, tbe freedom of tbe nation wiil be
buried in the same grave iu which Congress bas
interred all that remained ofthe Uuiou.
Oue of the most remarkable features of this last
effort lo couvert the Republic into a military despotism, is tbe entire abnngation of State sovereignty in tbe process by which tbe conscription is to be
carried into operation. Slate limits aud State sovereignty are ridden over rough shod, nnd our
Governors, the freely chosen magistrates of a free
people, are to be treated as mere cyphers by
General Government.
"Iu a word, all tbe citizens of New York liable
to military duty, cau be called upou by tbe Prcsi
deui, whenever be shall deem it necessary, and ou
tbe refusal of auy one of these to obey tbe call, be
'shall be deemed a deserter, be arrested by the
Provost Marshal, and sent to the oearest military
post for court martial.' If this is not the establishment of a military despotism, then we should
like to know tbe true meaning oftlie words. We
have no hesitation whatever, in saying that tbis law
is uucoutitutionai, ^and of course, uot binding upon any citizen of the United States, aud since tlie
■miscalled National Legislature bus so lar exceeded
its powers, the people must, under the eircum-
etaaees, look for a protection to ihe only authorities that can grant it, tbe Governors of their respective States. We owe allegiance as citizens ol
■the State of New York, to the Constitution of tbat
■State, and iu tbe exercise of his lawful authority,
•we are solemnly bound by that obligation to sustain and support its chief magistrate, whom tbat
■constitution declares is the Commander-in-Chief
ef the military aud naval forces of tbe State. If
allegiauce belongs to tbat regularly constituted
power which, iu tbe geueral community, affords
protection to life and property, then we say our
loyalty is pre-eminently due to the State geveru-
ment. Aa to the Constitution of tbe United States,
thai instrument uo longer affords protection to its
citizens, and the only barrier wbicb now interposes
between the Jiberties of tbe people aud the consolidated power of centralized despotism at "Washington, is the sovereignty ofthe State."
Ciassification of "Traitors."—A New York
correspondent ofthe London Herald, indorsed by
hat paper aB a northerner and a Uuion man says :
The traitors to the United States may be classed
inder seven heads. There are, in tbe first place,
all those who do not believe tbat Mr. Lincoln is
vested with divine attributes. Iu tbe second
place all those wbo dou't believe that Bill Seward
Chase, and each and nil of tbe Lincoln cabinet are
■nrer than the driven snow, wiser than Solomon,
Iways sober, and superior iu ability to all other
a'nnet ministers, possible or prospective, in Amer-
ca or elsewhere. Tlio third place iu the list is
assigned to tbose who doubt the fact that gam-
re, tailors, grog-shop keepers, lawyers, railroad
contractors, publicans, and scamps generally, are
uy way or shape inferior in point of military
nt to Wellington, Napoleon tbe Great, Alexander of Greece, Julius Osesar, Snladiu and Fredrick of Prussia. The fourth class in the list o
traitors are those who do not desire that Mr. Lin-
cola's proclamation may work up the southern
slaves to au indiscriminate butchery of men, women and children, with all the attendant horrors o
such a rising. The fifth class are those who question tbe policy of allowing Chase to issue unlimited "greenbacks,'' so that io 1SG4 a man may have
to pay SI,000 for a loaf to save bis children from
ration. Tbe sixth class are tbose who do not
wibIi to see a million wbite meu perish, in order
to try tbe experiment whether this or tbat fool—
Gen. McClellan or Bill Snooks—is a great miliary
commander ; and tbe list iB closed by citing those
who reflect calmly, and think that the sooner Lincoln and his cabinet are got rid of, the better it
will be for  America.
MY   SWEET   YOUTH.
My sweet youth now is all done,
The strength and the beauty arc gone.
The tooth now is black,and the head now is white,
And the nerves now are loosed : in the veins
Only water (not olood) now remains,
Where tbe pulse beat of old with delight.
Adieu, O my lyre, 0 adieu,
You sweet woman, my lost loves, and you
Eacb dead passion.   Tbe end oreepetfa
Not one pastime of youth has kept pace
With my age.   Nought remaioa io their p
But the bed, and lbe cup and the lire.
My bead is confused with low fears,
And sickness, and too many years ;
Some care in each corner I meet—
And, wherever I linger or go.
I turn back, and look after, to know  -"
li the death be still dogging my feet:
"Dogging me down the dark stair,
Which windeth, I cannot tell where,
To some Pluto that opens forever
His cave to all comers—Alas!
How easily down it all pass,
And return from it—never, ah never!

A Curious Mirror.—Among the curiosities exhibited ut the   last Earis Exposition was a huge
concave mirror, the instrument of  a   starting species of  optical   magic.    On standing close to tbe
mirror and looking into it, it presents nothing but
a magnificently monstrous dissection of your own
physiognomy.     On retiring a little, say a couple
of feet, it  gives your own face aud figure iu true
proportion, but  reversed, tbe head  downwards.
Most  of tbe spectators, ignorant of anything el
observe these two effects and pass on.     But retire
still farther.     Standing at the distance of five oi
six feet from tbe mirror, and behold, you see your-l
self,   not a reflection—it does  not/strike yon as a'
re fleet ion—but your veritable self, standing in the
middle part   between  you aud tbe  mirror.     The
effect is appalling, from   the idea it suggests ol
something supernatural, so startling in  fact  tbat
men of tbe strongest nerves will shrink involuntarily at tbe first view.    If you raise  your cane to
thrust at your other self, you will see it pass cleau
hrOQgh tbo   body and appear on  tbe   other side,
the figure thrusting at you tbe same instant.    The
artist wbo first succeeded iu fashioning a mirror ol
this description brought it to one of the French
Kings—if we recollect aright, it was Louis XV".—
placed his Majesty ou tbe right spot, aud bade him
draw his   sword and thrust atthe figure be saw.
The King did so, but seeing tbe point of a sword
directed at his own breast, threw down bis weapon
aud ran away.   Tbe practical joke cost the inventor tbeKing's patronage and'favor, his Majesty
being afterwards so ashamed of his own cowardice
that he could never again look at the mirror or its
owner.—London Engineer.

drawn weapons, the others went in and destroyed
