THE CONSTITUTION, from Maryland, delivered in the Senate on tbe 20th, on the bill to provide fur the mora efficient government of the rebel States, which passed: "Mr. President--! have felt a solicitude for the condition of tbe country, conse quent upon the exclusion of the Southern States from their right of representation in" this body, that 1 want words to express. Tbe view that I have cntertaiped is that, in their present condition, they are enti tled to be represented. Rut the Congress of the United States, from the termina tion of the rebellion to tbe present time, has tsken a different view, and I have lost all hope of seeing them at any early date, if at any day with the consent of Congress, reintMrd in tbeir origin?! con dition. 'Resides the interest, the vital interest, which tbe people of tbe South necessarily have In the present state or things, tbe interest of the other States is almost as great. Ae long as it. continues, mora or less will the reputation of tho country suffer. I have been, therefore from the first, ready to agree to any proposition which I believed would result in bringing the Southern States back, however much I may be opposed to the conditions which might be exacted of thew, -Nothing ran bo worse than the state in which they are now placed. Desola tion around them- all rights denied them of a political character and on the floor of the Senate, to say nothing of another branch of tbe Government, their charac ter as men has been aspersed in terms Lwhich have caused me nothing but the deepest regret. I know that they are not deserving of such aspersion. I think I know that tho descendants of the men of the South who upon so many occasions battled on tbe field for the boporsnd glory of the country, and contributed so hiucli to the success of our civil govern ment, enn not bp such men as somo of the members of Congross bate designated them. I with. them to be here in our midst to show by their presence that in all particularsmoral and political, .in tellectual ' and Christiau -they are our equals. Tho very battles which they have v?d in seeking to destroy the Govern ment exhibited deeds of valor of which Rome in her proudest dva might bave boasted. If I had my own way I would receive them at onco in this chamber, with a hcart'f'ull of conviction that they would be true to their duty to their country, and that they would promote its permanent interest. , "Rut I have not my way. I am oblig ed, therefore, to acquiesce in the decision of the majority of" Congress, however er roneous or unjust I may believe that de ciioa to he, provided I believe that jt will end in a comparatively ebort time in restoring the Southern States to the broth, erhood of States. I am unwilling that this Congress .shall adjourn without the adoption of some measure that holds out a hot?, however distant, that this may be the result of our deliberations, and believ ing that this will bo done "by the adoption of the measure as it now stands before you, 1 shall now 'we it my vote, not be cause I approve of it in the abstract or in the particular, but because I think I see in it a modo of rescuing tha country from (lie perilous predicament in which it is now placed.

Over Candid Ghosts, Faith is sometimes rudely shaken upon all subjects, and Vn in regard to spirit ualism so-called -r aotsitu&tanding the, infatuation of most of its believers. We have heard of two esses in which married people were severely exercised by tho rev elations of mediums. In one, a widow, who professed to be inconsolable for thp loss of her husband; thought that she would like to bold communications with tbo dear depart Aft4 'ought a medium lor that nur nose. The snirit announced1 his appearance, and, after a little conver- sation, was asked if he was happy. " Very,' was the prompt reply. "As happy as when you were on earth'' "Yes." "Happier?" "Yes." To what stage, in the world cf spirits have you arrived'!1" "I am in hell." In the other case, a wife who was u firm believer, took her reluctant buftbandto a circlo in order to convert biro. Sbo ask ed tbo spirits many questions about her private family affairs, nil of which were answered correctly, to her great CQtjteoU. tion 'and her bubbled' discomfiture. Among the questions was: "How many children have I?" 'Four.'' The hus band, wbese relation to her seemed not to bp known to tbe spirits, then put some questions to them, which were also cor rectly answered. He finally asked, "How many children have l?' 'Two." It is said that the disturbance of faith on the one side, and tho stimulus to inquiry on the other, raised by that answer, are among the most remarkable circumstances connected with the history of spiritualism.

So much has been said on this subject, that we have almost connected with the thought of winter a sorrowful feeling.. We count tie beauties only by the fire-light and in-door splendor. Rut here, too, although fierce blasts and rude storms prevail, is much to attract the po etical eye.

The ground was mantled vith a heavy fall of snow, and the atmosphere havingdisposed of its moisture in a foggy mist, the trees, fences, and even the wea ry reed 1, that jrared lheir fiuo branches listlessly, vera covered with a moss of frozen dew. The treö, left so bare when the Autumn leaves forsook them, each appeared decked in white covering, orna mented as for a Chrutwaa festival. On each roogh branch and knob was gathered the thick frost-work, arranged in such delicate points, Jj-ijes and figures, as to vie with the work of fairy fingers. The roofs of house appeared radiant clouds, while every object which met our gaze seemed too pure for arth. &aon the pencilings bi the Eastern sky grew more and more llilliant. The plo rious king of day entered the golden gates bearing a magic wand by whoso touch the beautiful landscape was changed into daz zling splendor, the pristine loveliness into indescribable magnificence. The bright ness rurrounded us with such sudden glo ry, we almost imagined ourselves removed to the romantic and ideal realm. The shining rays stole silently into thfl varied openings of the dense frost-work. In the high branches of trees were seen stars as perfect as tfco? 7b;.eh illumine the blue vault above.

" MILKING. . I)r. Dadd gives tho fullowin g directions. The first process in the operation of milc hig, is to make the coir's acquaint;; rjPgj give her to understand that the milker approaches her with none other than friendly intentions; for if he swears, scolds or kiH.s her, she will give tbe milker the benefit of her heels, which in my opinion bp is justly entitled la. Jlei'orc commencing jlo milk the cow. she should be fed, or 1ave some kind of fodder; in the enjoyir.ept of the mastica tion of the same, her attention is withdrawn from tho niilk.cr's rjppratjpnsj and the milk is not "held up,' a, tho saying ut bul is yielded frccl'.

' It'is said that these things tend fo bring men into bad society. It is not neceswa rily so. It is true that a man may jrio"a j acht club whose convivial habits are such that he will be in dagger perpetually; but ho ought not to. join such a club; It is in the fact, not that yachting is -bad. bt that th man makes a bad choice. "A uith may go to the Astor House or the St. NicK plas; and if he goes to a disreputable house it is his own fault. He oopht to p loa reputable one. It is, the joining Jt bad club, aud tiot the joining club' that is dangevous. And there ought to be b many clubs under moral and ChrUtian in fluences that it shall be the fault of every young man if he joins a bad one. 1 , ' And that is true of almost all ' athletie games, of all gymnastic ' association,' of -ill clubs for ball playing, of bowling al leys.

Usefulness of Birds. In many parta of the country birds SCAP to be decreasing from year to ' year. Many farmers believe that birds are of nq service, but rather an injury- to crops. The rising generation are delighted to find some mark at which to exercise .Ir shooting talent, and so the birds ara slaughtered out of mere, sport. It is ft question whether the country is put great ly thp loser by this wantonness. - The uunbpr of insects hurtful to jpgctatioq, whjcjr b'fds destroy during the jesf, immense. They do inestimablp rc'rrir in orchards and gardens jn ridding us of bugs and vermin, which, if- felt to breed and apcumulatp, wpuld often .destroy wholit crops.

While in Kngl.-tnd, goinz upon lbo farms, we could uot but note the difference between the greater number .of bird fPoi kinds of game there than are found upow farms in New York.
