THE CONSTITUTION AND THE UNION.
A Little World at Home.
In morning walks I often pass
A cottage by a plat of grass, '
Where perfumed flowers love to bloom;
A very neat and cheery place.
Where is not one shape of gloom—
Though there they say,
One hides away, ‘
As ifit surely were a tomb.
And as the sun this bright May morn,
Areas to tell a day was born,
I stopped a moment by the gate,
To talk with her who never minds
The wide world’s love, or lrown or hate,
Bnt site before .
Her cottage door,
And is as happy as the great.
Said 1 to her, “ The world is wide;
Have you no wish to see outside—
To taste its pleasures as you roam l"
She answered with her sweetest smile,
“I have adlittle world at home I
Outsi e are 'ere .. i A .
' And stelfl'addm, “--~ ‘- “ ' i“
But here they never, never come.
“Outside the hearts are often stung
By poisoned words from slander’s tongue,
And tiny barks upon life’s sea
Are often wrecked amid the gloom.
From ills like these I now am free.
I have a child,
A husband mild—
These are a little world to me I”
0, happy heart! what though in scorn
They say, that you were lowly born,
And Inn not in their circ e come?
Ilioy dwells not beneath your roof,
t dwelleth—Lnot ’neath palace dome.

My right nary gal willvdispute.
From the hen-coop all 'round to the well,
I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
oh, Singleuess, where are the charms
The lassos have seen in thy face?
Better root hog and sleep in the barn,
Than to be in the bachelor’s case!
I am down on the feminine race,
And not without cause on must own,
Since a number have laughed in my face,
And advised me to “go it alone. ‘
Oh ! had I but some one to love,
Some lemale, I mean—not a man—
I'd be gentle and coo like the dove,
And never come home drunk again.
My sorrows I then might assuage,
Might enjoy myself hugely, in truth,
I'd attempt to make up in my age
For the chances I lost in my youth.
But my pigs have laid down in their nest,
Poor pussy’s asleep by the fire.
I’ll go get me a pint of " Hall's Best,"
And nnbibe it before 1 retire.

A Hinsous Joan—At a recent meeting of the
Boston Anti-Slavery Society a sharp debate
took place in relation to the condition of the
freed uegroes, the efl‘ect of the Emancipation
Proclamation, etc. The newspapers state that
Dr. Knox, a prominent Abolitionist, who had
been down near Beaufort, within Gen. Saxtou’s
lines, and who declared that he spoke the lite
ral truth, said :
That the whole idea of “frecdmen” was a
hideous joke—the President’s Proclamation of
Emancipation a sham. The so-callcd froedmen
of the South were, to-day, as bad olf as they
were in slavery ; worse off than before the war,
for the Northern men who have gone down there
and undertaken the charge of the “poor negro,”
in the name of philanthropy, "were full as wick
ed, ns oppressive, as tyrauical,—yes, more
wicked and avarit-Jons than the original slave
holder. The day wages for a negro on the Sea
Island cotton fields are worth $4 a day, at the
present prices of cotton; but they who hold
these plantations make the negro work for fifteen
cents a day, and, if he dares to complain, is
treated with the foulest language, abused in vs
rions cruel ways, sconrged, told he is not wor
thy of freedom if he complains, and threatened
with immediate enlistment in the army. In
this way they are forced to submit to the most
gelling servitude.
.. Dr. Knox then turned his attention to the
Freedmun’s Society. He characterized it as
“The God-forsaken National Freedman’s Aid
Society.” It was a humbng, a. cheat, obtained
funds under false pretenses to buy goods, which
they sell to the negro and they pocket the
money. The Society, united with the new Nor
thern alaveholdera, were grinding the negro to
the dust, in the name of humanity, Ind grow
ing rich out of the sufl‘eringl of the black man
end the miseries of the country. A: for? Gen.
Sexton, Dr. Knox declares in the most emphat
ic terms and repeated the declaration, that
“Gen. Sexton, who is a coward and s rascal,
stands at the head of thin oppreuion end is,
practically, the leader and the head ofthe slave
holders at Per: Royal.”
Gum. Soon on OUR chronxu.—Genenl
Winfield Scott was, a short time since, invited
to participate in the celebration of Union victo
ries, which came come ofl" in New York City,
but declined'xn a written note, as follows :
New You, March 5, 1865.
C. P. Duly, Chairman, etc.—Dear Sir :-—I re
gret, on account of debility, I cannot take part
in the grand celebration to-morrow, as Isin
cerely rejoice in our victories over rebels, which,
with others impending, cannot {all soon to bring
back into the Union, on terms of perfect equal
ity in rights and duties, the outstanding States.
Reciprocal respect and admiration have already,
by the dint of hard fighting, been established
between the gallant veterans of the opposing ar
mies, and this noble sentiment gives the hope
that it may conquer the miserable hatred so
general between noncombntunts—Secessionists
and Unionists. This, indeed, would be the
greatest conquest of the day. I remain, with
high respect, yours, truly, Wnurmn Sco'rr.
It will be observed that General Scott thinks
that to conquer the “miserable hatred" which
is no general between the noncombatant Seces
aioniete and Unionists, would be the greatest
conquest of the day. The old hero is right;
that miserable hatred is about all there is left to
to conquer, and it is much more fordidable now
than Southern bayonete.
Con. OlL—The oil district ofPennsylvanla, in
spite ofthe wild speculation with which it isas
socinted, has proved a most important accession
to our national wealth. The exports ofoil alone
during the past eleven months of the current
year amounted-to 30,000,000 of gallons; which,
at an average rice of 70 cents per gallon, is
equivalent to $21,000,000. If, to this were ad
ded the domestic consumption, which can not be
estimated at less than one million of barrels, or
22,000,000 gallons, it would appear that the oil
product of the Union must. realize from thirty
five millions to forty million dollars per annum.

Tn: AssAssix Boo'rn.—John Wilkes Booth,
the murderer of President Lincoln, is a son of
the late J. B. Booth, famous as a tragedian.--
He was born near Baltimore and is about twen
ty-fire years old. In early youth he resided in
Alabama. The success of his brother, Edwin
Booth, in the profession induced this member of
the family to try the stage, and he performed
various leading characters in Eastern theaters
with varied success. He exhibited more physi
cal power than'Edwin, but betrayed a lack of
culture and taste. lie is often referred to as
the youngest of the Booth brothers. This is an
error. He has n younger brother, Joseph Booth.
Joseph joined the rebel nrmy soon after the
commencement of the rebellion, deserted, and
was drafted into the Union army. Descrting
this service, he returned to Baltimore, and, pro
curing moncy from his mother, escaped to Eng
land. From England he went to Australia, and
from Australia to San Francisco, where he ob
tained a situation as letter clerk and messenger
in the office of Wells, Fargo it Go. He remained
in San Francisco about a year ago, Ind went
East on the last steamer.—Sac. Union.
Gnu m Arr“ Quantum—A correspondent
of the Geneuee Farmer gives the following ed;
nee :
As to an apple orchard, I have no hesitation
in eeying that if you can sell the fruit well, and
your sorta are good, it will pay you to let the
whole crop of grass rot on the ground, and ou
will never went for I. full crop of apples. sou
must, however, planter heavily in the Spring.
Adjoining the orchard we have I gerden with
some apple trees in it. We manure this and dig
around the trees and raise vegetables. These
apple trees hear one crop in three yearn only,
and the growth and health of the treee i: not to
be compared with those in the orchard, where
the ground is never touched or manurcd, except
by the after grass and plaster. People who eith
er plow or dig in an orchard need not expect a.
certain crop of apples or n thrifty growth of trees.
the roots of the apple tree naturally seek the sur
face for theinouriehment of decaying vegetation.
If you plow and dig you destroy these roots, and
thus deprive the trees the means of growth. No
manure you can give will ever make up for this
wholesale destruction of the roots ofthe trees.
ABABY AT A anrnns.—We like babies—we
ourselves have got one of the “blessedest” ones
that ever lived on peregoric, or kept its fond pa
rents awake every night a week on a stretch
we admire ’em in Ilmost my style, and are gen
erally allowed to possess a large amount of pa
tience where they are concerned. We believe
in showing babies every reasonable indu‘lgence,
and allowing them the largest consistent liberty;
but we are nnnlterably and vehemently oppoled
to taking them to lectures—they are altogether
out ofplace there. We never knew a. baby _vet
who manifested the least interest in a lecture——
not only this, but they have no sort of apprecia
tion of the fitness of things. They invnrinbly
take it into their heads that something is wrong
somewhere, and their treble mingling with the
stronger tone of the speaker produces a most an
noying discord, and even their innocence does
not protect them from those they so grievously
‘worry.’-—Bu]. Com.
Dr. J. P. Vnn Denburgh, of Sen Frencieco,
recently, exhibited a tape-worm 500 feet
in length, and containing (2,000 joints, which
hurl grown to thin enormoul sin in the body of
5 young men in the: cit}.
A man bearing the name of Baker, says the
the Oregon Statesman, was recently arrested
at Salem, by Provost Marshal Keeler, on char
ges made that Baker had exulted over the as
sassination of the President, and sympathized
with the assassin. After a thorough examina
tion of witnesses in reference to the matter the
prisoner was discharged from custody, the tes
timony not being suflicient to justify punish
ment. One witness testified that he heard Ba
ker say be “war sorry Lincoln was killed, be
cause he'would now receive afiner monument
than had ever been erected to any other man.
Another testified that he said “he believed An
dy Johnson had killed Lincoln and he wished he
would kill the whole d—d Cabinetf’ but no wit
nesstestified to what had been reported, that
Peter ’l‘}!fWfiW-Wfflflflflmk
dent, illuminating his house, &c. The States
man says, now that Baker has been discharged,
some persons '3O around the streets of Salem, de
claring that Baker said “so-and-so," and they
could have testified “so-and-so,” In reference
to these “so-and~sos,” that paper says, “the
fact that they did not come out and reveal these
things when the Provost Marshal was hunting
testimony, and when he had Baker under arrest,
ls neither complimentary to their patriotism or
just to Capt. Keeler.” A sensible rebuke.
Daownn.——on Thursday morning, May 4th,

iced liquids in considerable quantity is highly '
injurious, and in some cases their use has been
attended with inflamation of the stomach and
bowels, and even sudden death—anot always ac

many cues, stop bleeding of the nose. If milk
or butter is cooled with ice, it must be used at‘
