PORTLAND DAILY PRESS. e kindled in the city of Kiehmond, over the triumph of the opposi tion in the great Empire State? If such there be, let him vote a party ticket- The occasion demands the development of the suhlimest phases of human character. If, with the du ties to our land and to our race which are pressing upon us, we cannot rise above a mis erable scramble for party spoils and [rower, then the sooner we creep into onr graves the better. Another danger which is threatened from the inaction of our armies comes from abroad, This rebellion is as ubiquitous in the curses it scatters, as it is foolish in its spirit. The con flict from our commercial and other relations concerns the happiness ol the civilized world. Foreign nations, with a forbearance that can not be too much commended, have, without interference, waited patiently, and given us every opportunity to subdue the rebellion.— Hut, unless some decisive military demonstra tion soon takes place, and the South is occu pied by our forces, these nations w ill conclude that we lack either the will or the power to re-establish the Luiou. Already a memtfer of*11\e English .Cabinet, (Mr. Gladstone) has openly declared that “Da vis lias made a nation of the South”; and such an announcement, from such a source, cannot but be accepted as having a startling signifi cance. If the vast army in whoso presence, as it were, a half-l>eatcn army is leisurely de stroying one of the most important railroads of tiie loyal States, does not do its work speed ily, Euro|>eau governments must ere long yield to the clamor of their impoverished and starv ing populations, and there will come interven tion, “with all its woes”; upon this will follow at once intimate entangling alliances witii the South, to Ite succeeded by hostilities with us, and, in all human probability, by the perma nent establishment of the rebel Confederacy. What fate might befall our own institutions, amid the bankruptcy, and demoralization, and brokenness of spirit consequent on such a dis lneuiocrmont. 1 will not trust myself to in quire. We cannot hope to escape from this train of events by any exploits of our navy, however brilliant, occupying the Southern coast and the cities upon the seashore. This, though well, and very well, will he but scratch ing the extremities of the giant. Instead of dealing blows at his heart. That heart palpi lates defiantly in the armies of Lee and Jack son which have so recently ravaged Maryland, and still from the bauksof the Potomac threat en the Capital. My faith in ail ttiis matter is simply and briefly stated. It is this; For all things that are lor the Union—against all tilings that are against it. I am for the Union as uncondi tionally as I am liir protecting my own body, at every cost and hazard, from the knife of the assassin. Xo human institution, no earthly interest shall ever by me lie weighed in the scales against the life of my country. Least ol all will I approach with unsandalled feet, or permit to be thus weighed, ail institution, the fountain of whose Iming—the African slave trade—tiie laws ot my country have for more than forty years denounced as a crime worthy of death—a crime not against any particular code, or any particular form of civilization, but a crime against the very race to which we be long. //ostia humnni generis is the designa tion which the Christian legislation of the United States has given to the African slave trader. I yield to no man in veneration for the Con stitution, or in determination that its blessings shall be extended to those who respect and obey it. The door to all these blessings is widely open to the Southern people, and they are earnestly invoked by the President to en ter it and enjoy them. These institutions and their every interest are in their own hands, and can lie saved not only from ruin, but from the slightest injury, by the utterance oi a single, word—a word of duty and of honor. But. if in their passionate pursuit of separate empire, and in their blind resentment against brethren who have never wrouged them, they refuse to speak that word and prefer to perish themselves rather than tiiat the loyal States shall escape destruction —be it so. The world will judge aright, and history will record its judgment. But is it not childish prattle to say that the South ean claim to be at the same moment the protege and the destroyer of the Constitution Does it not re quire an audacity absolutely Satanic to insist that the beneficent provisions of that hallowed instrument shall lie secured to States and peo ple who are hourly spurning and spittiug upon its authority, and who are leading forward vast armies to overwhelm it, and with it tiie hopes and homes of all who are rallying in its de fence? War—certainly one like this, in self defence—is clearly constitutional; but if such a war has its restraints, it has also its rights and duties; prominent among which is the right and duty of weakening the enemy by all possible means, and thus abridging the san guinary conflict. Never until now lias it entered into tiie imaginations of men to conceive that among these duties is that of seeing that the enemy is clothed and fed and armed before he is struck. In prosecuting the war, while exercising our right to weaken the enemy, we may destroy not only ships upon the sea, and fortresses and cities upon the land, but human life upon tiie battle field. But what institution, what ma terial inti rest is more hallowed than human life, and what material interest is there belong ing to the enemy that we are obliged to spare, even though by so doing we perish ourselves? The Cou-titution is a charter of National life and not ol National death. All movements whidh seek or tend to the dissolution of tiie Government created by it, and of w hich it is the soul, are in conflict with its spirit and with the scope and end ofits enactments, and may be resisted to the death by its express or im plied authority. Neither the keenest vision nor the most delicate ear can detect in any line or letter of that glorious charter the faintest throb of sympathy with treason or traitors. Pardon these hurried words, which are spken in crimination of none hut iu grief alone. No man more sincerely desires the re-estal>lish incnt ofthe Union than does tiie President him self. Let it be our trust that while an Oetoiier sun is yet shining, tile mind upon w hich all de pends w ill devise ways and means toovercoine every obstacle to the onward marchand triumph of our armies. New York has already sent a hundred and seventy regiments into tiie field. Tiie muskets they bear prove that they are unconditional Union men. God forbid ihat the fathers, and brothers, and sous, whom they have left be hind, should, through a show of dissension at the ballot-box, do aught to weaken their hands, or to aid the strength and courage of the traitors whose swords are lifted against their bosoms.

TIIE market lias been flooded for years with differ ent articles called Hair Dyes, which have never satisfied the expectations of purchasers. The nr plus ULTRA lias been reached at last in TODD’S HAIR DYE, and the article has given entire satis faction to every person who has used it. It contains no injurious ingredients, and gives the lia’r a beauti ful rich browu or black color. Directions tor using —which are very simple—accompany each bottle. One superiority of Todd’s Lux Sofis Hair Dvc over all others is, you do not have to cleanse the’hair or wash it before or after using the dye, and there is but one kind to be used, and that can be put on the same as oil and water, without any trouble, unliko all oth er dyes that have two or three different kinds to be applied every time used. This dye is peculiarly adapted for coloring ladies’ hair, because you do not have to wash out the dye after putting it on. Unlike allotherdyes.it will color long hair, which other dyes cannot do.

THE DAILY PRESS. PORTLAND MAINE Monday Morning, Dec. 8, 1862.

The Portland Daily Press had the largest regular circulation of any daily paper in the city. An Accommodating Beliet. There is a story by Mrs. Stowe—or some body else—of au old darkey woman, of a reli gious turn of mind but inquisitive withal, whom the honest parson found it ditiieult to indoctrinate with all the abstruse propositions of bis creed. She went along very well for a while, but flually stumbled ou the doctrine of original sin. She didn't see why 6he was to suffer for the siu of Adam, and the efforts of her teacher proved all unavailing, her curly hair obstinately refusing to let the dogma pen etrate. But things took a lucky turn. The simple African was made the recipient of peculiar kindness at the hand of her pastor, and she was only tooeager to make grateful re turn for the favor received. She sought her kind benefactor, and with countenance elate with joy and eyes dilated with gratitude, she ex claimed, “Bress de Lord, I b'leeves—I b’leeves in Adam's sin—I b'leeves in Adam's fader’s sin—I b’leeves in every body’s sin—I b'leeves de catechism, questions and all!” We find a parallel for this honest old wo man'saccommodatingbelief ill Saturday’s num ber of the Advertiser, in an article headed, “We believe in all of them.” The accommo dating writer savs: With scarce an exception, we have believed religiously in ail the Union commanders of the higher grades—Scott, McClellan, II illeck, Burnside, Banks, Sigel, Mitchell, Pope, Iloint zelinan. Hooker. Fitz John Porter, Sumner, Smith, Kearney. McDowell, Buell, Uosecrans, Grant, Nelson, Thomas, McClernand, Roseau, Stahl, Stonebaui, Lyon—what a glorious list ol names to which others might be added! Yes, we have believed in them all. Such a swallowing belief, taking in men of opposing views; placing McDowell on a level with McClellan, and embracing men in whom the soldiery have lost confidence, and whom the heads of the government have been com pelled to displace, like Buell for instance, may •oeiii almost incredible, but the closing para graph of the article referred to explains away the difficulty: We repeat that, with scarce an exception, we believe in all our chief commanders—we believe in them separately however, and not together. One poor general is better than two good ones. One general in the field, only one, with no military or cicil superior—this is what our be lieving neighbor demands: An army should have but one commander, ami McClellan should have been left to him self. I f it lie Burnside let it be he alone; don't add Halleck; much less add Lincoln and Stancon. There’s doctrine to be enunciated in a re publican government;—in a government op posed to the one man power,-’ opposed to military dictatorship. McClellan should have been left to himv.lf" Don't add Halleck, much lens Lincoln and Stanton”! Here is reverence for the Constitution! Lincoln is made, by the Constitution itself, the Coalman der-in-Citief of the army and navy, but the ac tive General in the field must ignore him, be •uperior to him, lie left alone by him, aud if not left alone entirely, at all events he must not be interfered with by Presidents or Cabi nets! Verily, despotism is reached by short aud easy strides. But then our neighbor is in a believing mood, believes In everybody's ■iu" except Commanding Generals, or the one who happens to be at the head of armed bat talions. Another quotation: If Burnside is nut the man, then send U il leck. Fremont, Banks, or whoever may be the mao. That looks all very fair, but let us look at it in the light of that "stray gleam of fire” which of late has been so marked a feature in the columns of our cotemporary. A short time since the President became convinced that the general at the head of the army iu Virginia was “not the man,’* and he sent Burn-ide—not “Halleck, Fremont or Banks”—to take coui maud. How did the gentleman who wrote the above soFdly printed lines treat this act of the President? If the reader will turn to the Advertiser of Nov. 22, he will find au article headed "The next Step,” from which he will obtain au answer to this question. That arti cle opeus as follows: In our issue of the 3 )th of Sept, last, we al luded to the insatiate demands of the aboli tionists upon the President, and to tile fact that, having succeeded in the “pressure” lor au Emancipation Proclamation, he would be followed up by the same abolition influence, aud be required, as “a next step,” to remove Gen. McClellax* and iu-tal Gen. Fremont in his place. The “next step” they have so far succeeded in, accord ing to our predictions of their plans, as to re move Gen. McClellan from command; and as a foreshadowing of their still further success, It is announced that Gen. Fremont has al ready been summoned to Washington,’'Ac. The above extract shows the honesty of recommending to the President to displace commanders if “not the ineu” for their posi tions and the fling at Fremont shows still fur promotion to the chief command would be ad visable, if to the President he shall seem to he the mau for the place. It may uot he improp er here to stale that Gen. Fremont, in the above held upas the embodymeut and incar nation of “abolitionism,” and the only one to satisfy the “insatiable demands of the aboli tiouU's,” i- tile same mail whom the editor ol Advertiser once commended to the people ol Portland, and of whom he said: “Of the three candidates for the Presidency. Mr. Fremont is the only one whose lips never uttered—whose breatli has never been tainted with tiiis unpatriotic desire lor a dissolution of the Union, in any event. No affinity for such a thought has ever been heard even in whispers from him. NajfGod hag not made the elements of his being with sueli irregulari ty of action as even to permit him to dream, in the wildest wanderings of his intellect when asleep, a sentiment so abhorrent to his patri otic heart as that of a possible dissolution ol this glorious Union. Aud. as often its needful, the oatli which Jack son added to the constitutional oaths pre-crib ed by the constitution to he taken by the Pres ident of the Union for its preservation, w ill be taken anew and fulfilled. Aye. the opponent! of John 0. Fremont's election know well that he, too, will take upon his soul, as chief Mag istrate of the Union, that same determiner aud great oath,—“By the Eternal—thi Union must and shall he preserved!” We make this digression,—exhibiting as i does the estimation in which Fremont was bu recently held by the present linn, editor o the Advertiser, differing from Buchanan am Filmore, the other parties to the trinity ofcandi dates referred to, in that Ida lips had never ul tered. hi» breath had never been tainted will tlie unpatriotic idea of a dissolution of tin Union in any event,”—simply to show the rad leal ciianges which sometimes take place ii the opinions of great men; men whose mind beam out on the surrounding darkness lik “stray gleams of Are.” The man, the element of whose being God had so made that h couldn't be a disloyalist, is now. forsooth, th incarnation of abolition fanaticism, all the ele meats of wbicb are leagued for the destruc tiou of "this glorious Union!” DjT*The Kennebec river is frozen over a Hallowell. Constitutional Powers of the Government. Is there any power given in the Constitution to emancipate the slaves, or to use them for military purposes, as a necessity oi war? In other words, to save the country from the do minion of rebellion, can the President rightful ly, lawfully and constitutionally,proclaim free dom to the slaves? One year ago, when con gressional confiscation bills were talked of, there were very few northern democrats who did not admit, while denying the legislative power of Cungrexx to confiscate and free the slaves, that the President, as commander-in chief of the army and* navy, already had the i power to do anything with the slaves that mil itary necessity might demand. It was notour fortune to hear a speech adverse to congrex aionul action upon this subject, during the dis cussions of from sis to twelve months ago, or to read a newspaper leader upon that side of the question, that did not distinctly and em phatically enunciate the doctrine that, as a military necessity, the right to confiscate, lib erate ami arm the slaves already resided ill the President, as commander-in-chief. The great speech of Judge Thomas in the national house of representatives,—a speech published and eulogized by both the Post and Courier,—very distinctly maintained this idea, and all the less er speeches m ide in our legislature, adverse to the so-called ‘‘national resolves,” seemed based upon tile same proposition. But now that the President has seen and reached the very necessity which they con templated, and lute boldly proclaimed liberty _ to the slaves in the persistent rebel States,as a war measure and to preserve the Union and ivhi*Himi liiose that the men who framed tlie Constitution knew what degree of power they were placing at the disposal of the federal government. It is equally reasonable to suppose that cotemporary statesmen, who opposed that instrument, understood the grounds oftheir opposition, and why they op posed it. Now among the latter class we find Patrick Henry, of Virginia, a statesman of large experience, and who, through the stormy days of and preceding the Revolution, took a full share of the responsibilities resting upon the heads of the patriots. When the federal constitution was brought before the legislative assembly of Virginia, for its ratification, Mr. Henry being a member took the lead in oppos ing it. Fortunately bis speech on that occa sion has beeu preserved, so that we can see what were tlie grounds of his opposition. The great prominent objection which lie urged for refusal to ratify that Instrument, was that it gave to the general government the exact powers which our mod rn democrats say are not conferred by It. They being right, Mr Henry was wrong, and was guilty of expend ing all his force against a m.ui of straw—a pow er that had no existence. The following ex tract shows the view taken by tbe great revo lutionist. Mr. Heury said: One of the great objects of Government is the national detense. The constitution gives power to the general government to provide lor the ijeneral defense, and the means must be commensurate to the end. All the means in the possession of the people must be given to the Government which is entrusted with the public defense. May Congress not say every black man mustfiyht t lu the war of tlie Revolution, Virginia passed an act of as sembly that every slave who would join the army should be free. At some future time. Congress will search tlie Constitution to see if they have not tlie power ol manumission. And have they not, Si: Have they not the power to pr wide lor he general de’eu-e and weilare May they uoi tiling these call lor the abolition ol slavery? May they not pronounce all slaves free ami will they not be warranted by that power? The paper sperks to the point; they have the power in clear, unequivocal terms, and will clearly and certainly exercise it. The Legal Tender Noies. It is a question of great and pressing mo ment, whether any further i-eue of le.nil ten der notes can consist with a ust prudence on the part of our national governme it. The question should not be complicated by any de ls e about an expansion which shall render the currency valueless—so much waste paper. No such pur; ose is entertained by Secretary Chase, we may be assured, and the thing cannot be done blindfold. What will lie the results, immediate and prospective, of a fur ther issn of legal tender notes secured by the ample returns of the tax Jaw, and backed by the whole resources of the government That is the question, naturally branching into two ...V, .V». The immediate consequences are obvious. The circulating medi nn needful to supply the demands of active trade w ill be furnished (and there is a di tiicient circulation at present);— the rate of interest will contiuue low; and price* tcili advance. These are the results al fectiug Individuals. Over against the evil of still advancing prices, (a burden so evenly dis tributed lliat lew are sensible of its real weight) must be put the salvation of our country. The embarrassments from which the government can only he saved by a further issue of these notes, is thus clearly and torcibly described in the New York Independent: Were no more circulating notes to be issued, tlte government would be compelled to raise 1 money at the rate of over a million of dollars j per day by selling its securities. The result* of tiiis would Ik—first, an Immediate increase in the price of money; second, a great de mand lor money; third, competition between the government and every merchant and man nlacturer lor money. This, w hilt- the war is in progress, would gradually become ruinous to both parties: for the merchant andmanufac* turer could neither import nor produce as rap idly as the people, the army, and lhe navy would require; the government could not pur chase ample supplies, and w hat they did pur clia-e would be at largely advanced rates.— Fourth, the price ol government securities would rapidly fall, and the amount of depreci I at ion would be govern d solely by the necessi ties of the government. This would induce greater efforts .on lhe part of the reliels to j prolong the war; for the harder they fought, and the more they protracted the contest, the more would financial uccessllies compel the government to seek an early termination of the war. Such, we suppose, would be some of t he necessary consequence* of a change from i'-uing legal tender notes to raising money in the only other know n mode, by selling United States securities. But, although it is tints apparent that a present necessity compels this step, something must lie done with these notes in the end, and what? What are the prospective consequen ecs of a further issue? There are prophets who foretell a terrific financial crash, wlienev t j er specie payments shall be resumed. Mcan 1 while we invite the careful attention of our readers to the following paragraph Irom the article already quoted: It is certain that the fact, or even the assur ed prospect, of peace, would instantly cause j a great advance in the price of United States seertritics. The legal tender notes are conver tible into five-twenty six per cent, stock. This j stock, like every other kind of United States j stock, would advance above par; and the pro- j cess of converting the notes into stock would go on as rapidly as the clerks could perform the changes. The great market lor the stocks would be abroad. Every million of dollars i shipped to Europe would give us so much of exchange, which would be, as it is now, the same as gold; and the amount thus shipped and drawn against when the w ar is over, would I only be measured by the amount which the government issues. Thus money in vast sums would come to us; exchange would fall; gold and silver l>e again released from their hoard ing-places; and specie payments resumed, while the abundance of money and of exchange j would enable the resumption to l>e made with out any shock to the finances of the country. _i Sick and Wounded Soldiers in the Hospit als in Washington, Alexandria, George town and Fairfax.

_ POETRY._ [Written for the Press.] To the Brightest Star in Heaven. Ever since the departure of the 25th regiment, have I watched a bright star in the Heavens with peculiar interest, and loved to think it was shedding its pure light on our pet regiment. Yes! nightly, as I leave my bed and gaze at this beautiful star keeping vigils, like a sentinel, over tlieir camp, I invoke blessings on the brave Colonel and Chaplain, young in years, and all our brave boys so far away, O, bow I love that little letter “A,” and the figures “25,” and shou!d my remembrance become dim by the lapse of years, aud everything else be obliterated, then will those silver letters be stereotyped upon my brain, and the brightest picture iH the chambers oi my soul will bo —Camp Abraham Lincoln, It is night's still and holy hour, And all is sad and lone— No sound is heard to greet mine ear, Save ocean’s distant moan; The flocks and herds arc all at rest, And in the waving trees The warbling bird has sought his nest— Lulled by the whisperiugbreese. I love to watch thy silvery light, For I know thy gentle beams Are falling far in radiance bright O’er the lonely soldier** dreams; Yes! all night long, bright vigils keep O’er loved one* fhr away, Look down and bless them while they sleep, And through tho coming day. Bright beaming star, canst thou not bear My thoughts to those brave youth? Tell them to be, a-* thou art, pure And walk the patlis of truth! Ami while the.' seek the w reaths of fame Iu youug life’s halcyon day; Lot their watch-word be the Saviour’s name, And trust iu ilim a!way. Tell them wl en shades of evening fall, Aud round their board they come, This thought must cheer them, one and all, They’re one day nearer home. O. bless the sick and wounded ones. If any such there Ik*, ▲mi may the slain in battle know A blest Eternity. Protect them when the wintry blast Shall wail in fitful strains. Ami when the “mow flakes patter fast Upon our window j ares; Protect their leader, young io years. While on the battle field, Who'll urge them on without a fear, Nor to tlK* traifon yield. ▲nd soon will come the blessed Spring, When the lark will mount the^kie*, ▲nd tuneful birds fl .at on the wing, With plumes of varied dyes: *Ti# then we hope and trust and pray, Onr brave bo\ s may return, ▲t.d bring with them on that Spring day, The laurel* bravely won. Oh! heed the blessings I have said Thou bright and glittering star, ▲nd I will pillow mv anxious head, And dream of the distant war; Yes! give sweet rest to my weary eyes Until the dawning day. Then I shall wake and think with sighs Of the loved ones lhr away. ▲nd pray for you, my gallaut boys, Oh! promise me this night, You will se* ure iiife’s brightest Joys nd wiu you Heaven's lair light, If of the ranks of hrist you aie. Put his w hole armor on; ▲nd no more rumoie—no more war, When hrist and lieaveu are won. Night, Oct. 25,13C2. Mart. miscellaneous. A Story ot Human Nature. The long walk down town from Madron Street, w here lire. Jefferson lived, could be very mucb shortened by passing through a dirty alley designated “Howard street.” Mrs. Jefferson seldom availed herself of the advan tage this cross* ay offered, but, one day. being In great baste, she said lo lier-eli; “I think I will venture to go through this dirty lane.” i Accordingly she drew down her face to its greatest possible length, and w ith a frown on her brow, set her pretty gaitered loot on the w alk. Passing along, bewailing the necessity Which subjected her to the annoyance of such miserable spectacles and offensive odors, site approached a group of boys amusing them selves with po|>-giins. Half a dozen voices •limited "Pop goes Hu- weasel.” and the pota toes from the guns of the accurate marksmen came in contact w ith Mrs. Jefferson's nose.— Darker grew the frown on her brow, and dark er still us she received the umnistakeable evi dences that the next aim was taken at Iter back. An expression of disgust mingled with Mrs. Jefferson's frown ns she discovered a dir ty little child smiling at tier through a cobweb curtained window. The I tally's sister saw the look ou her lace, and treated her to a splash from a mud-puddle by the door. “You nasty tiling! said Mrs. Jefferson, but was interninted by another splash from the puddle by the door. Some boys were making miniature locomo tives of mud on tin-walk. They did not no tice the lady’s approach until her fretful voice inquired: ’•Can I pass “Yes, just as quick as vre get this injine done, said one. “Let her go by. Bill. Only don’t tip the cars over by your hoops,” sttiti another. The boys considered this a very witty re mark, and they* sent forth long and boisterous shouts, which were anything but musical. Howard street was full ol dirty, ragged.sau cy children; and it needed only a passing j glance to see that they lived In place* too 111 thy to be honored with the name of home. Mr-. Jefferson was glad enough when she reached the broad and decent thoroughfare, but site could not help seeing the splashes of mud ou her dress; she feared the potato from the pop-gtms had left its mark on lu-r face, and her gaiter boots had not been at all improved by coining in contact w ith the dirt. The faces fif thfivP **hr»rp!rl r»li11«1 ,,.on....l i. i too. She went home the furthest way round, re solving, whatever her haste might he. never again to try to save time by passing through Howard street. Just U'hiud her tripped her little neighbor, Mrs. Baldwin. “Bather uninviting,” she said to herself, ns her happy face looked down the dingy alley, “but 1 11 try ami see lmw many smiles I can get from the dirty little folks.” With grateful feelings in her heart that God had drawn her lines in pleasant places, she reached the pop-gun marksmen, who hud just taken such successful aim at Mrs. Jefferson. “Now for my smiles,” thought Mrs. Baldwin, as she greeted tile hoys with such a frank and genial look that it won pleasant answering smiles from all but one. He Was so busy get ting his pop-gun into ru«^g order, that he did not see her lace until tile other boys exclaimed: •Hold on. Tom. Don't shoot that lady.’ Tout looked up witji ail expression 'which said: *1 will if I have a mind to.’ But the la dy gave him sueh a merry smile that he drew back a little, and Mrs. Baldwin heard hiui say: |Well, I'd rather not shoot her, I reckon.’ The dirty baity was still peeping through the cobwebs. He caught a glimpse of her sun shiny face, and instantly commenced such a crowing and capering, that the lady had to •top and look at liiin,uud >ayaloud: ‘What a dear baby you are.’ Baby s sister saw the admiring look and beard the praise bestowed, and hurried to the door, broom in hand, not this time to impro vise a shower from the mud puddle: hut she said: ‘The walk is so dirty for your nice dress.that I want to brush it off for you. Tlie little engine makers were engrossed with their mud toys, and hesitated about leaving their work long enough to let the lady pass but she said, pleasantly: ‘These are very nice locomotives, boys, I‘H try and not come in collision with them'.’ The boys made way for her right quickly, and from the lips of more than one of them came a ‘is-g pardon, madam.’ Every little child was ready to give hack smile lor smile, and it was with a face perfect ly radiant with huppinegs that she greeted her triends as site passed down Main street. Mrs Baldwin told her husband all about her walk and her adventure, and he (sillv fellow) kissed her and said: ‘Bless your heart, wife! You are a perfect sunbeam. Who, besides you, could find any tluug but wretchedness in Howard street0’ Mr*. Jeffinvon tln-ught she would never e-o near the dirty alley again but on talking with some ladies of a benevolent association, of the xnbs3ta&i&&?r*i!zmteaL»a degradation of it* inhabitants, she consented, alter considerable urging, to go as a missiona ry to “the poor miserable creatures.’ She sup plied herself with a bundle of tracts; and tak ing care to wear clothing w hich would not sut ler tlie least injury from dirt, site sallied forth on her mission. ‘Dear! dear me!’ she said, as she entered a wretched domicile, ‘1 should think you would infect the whole city with fevers and cholera. Don't you know it's shamefully w icked for you to be so dirty Are you a friend of the Savior?’ she added, in a simple tone. ‘Don’t know. I don’t w ant to be if you are,’ w'as the reply. ‘Here are some tracts I should like to have you read if you can.’ The woman snatched the tracts from her hand, tore them to pieces, and threw them in her visitor’s face. Shaking the dust from her feet, Mrs. Jeffer son passed from that dwelling to another,mak iug similar remarks, and meeting a similar re ception. ’Here comes that cross woman, who looked so ugly at baby’s sister and companions,’ and she slammed the door in Mrs. Jefferson’s face. ‘I should think you would lie sick, and I should think yourhusbiuul would drink,’ says Mrs. Jetfersou to a pale, feeble-looking wo man; ‘I am not surprised at it at ull. You oughtn’t to live in this miserable way.’ Mrs. Jetlersou did her duty in distributing her tracts, but she had the satisfaction of see ing the most of them lollow her into the street, and the rest were consigned to the flames. “1’hose creatures are hopelessly depraved,” said Mrs. Jetfersou. “There is no use trying to do anything for Howard Street.” Mrs. Baldwin could not help feeling an inter est in the children who responded so readily to her kind looks, and so. without telling even Mr. Baldwin what she proposed to do, she set out to make some calls among them. She thought she would call flnrt where the baby lived, for she felt quite snrAf a kind reception. tlie baby's sister exclaimed "Oil! here is the pleasant lady, who stopped to look at Patsey the other day! Oh! she is coming right in here.” “It’s too dirty a place for the like o’ ye” said Betsey's mother. “Never mind,” said our sunshiny Mrs. Bald win. ”1 felt like dropping in, and 1 thought I would take the liberty.” "Bless ye for it! am ashamed to have a reale lady to see my house. Tilings didn’t used to go so wid me! No indude!” And the poor woman poured her file's history into the stranger's ear. Tears tilled the loving listener's eyes, and she replied; "1 think I can understand your feelings, my good woman. A poor, weary body must re quire rest, alter she has been out over a wash tub all day; but this smart little girl, who swept the walk so nicely the other day, would make a capital house-keeper, I am sure. Won't you try it. my iittle girl? Won’t you place every thing, and scrub everything up clean, and keep nice and tidy? Try! So when I call again I can see bow nice you look here. Wash your dear little baby-brother's face, and brush bis hair, and have bis clothing clean, and I shall iove to tend and kiss vim, for be is a beautiful baby, I think.” Mrs. Baldwin called upon every family In Howard street that afternoon. None treated her rudely, and many opened their hearts to her as the baby's mother had done. They promised to follow the kind advice she of fered. while her tears fell with theirs; ami the kind look and encouraging word left sunbeams in the cheerless homes, altr sa!e l:y W. D. LITTLE, Agent.

Pll f LA DEL PHI A, Oct. IT, 1SC2. From injuries received in my right eye, when a boy, a chronic inflammation had been produced, in consequence of w hich 1 suffered constant martyr dom. Every moment of my waking life we* embit tered, and I was fiequeutly unable to sleep at night. A variety of remedies had been resorted to with out success, aud I entertained the purpose, as a last reaort.of having the ball taken out of its socket, in the hope of thus finding relief. lu the meantime, most providentially I noticed one day in a shop window a bottle of POOR RICH ARD’S EYE WATER. 1 had never heard of it be fore, but determined to try it, aud did. with the most delightful results. In a very few days the painful Irritation was removed; I could War the strongest light, and went forth to the enjoyment of a new life. I uow keep a bottle of it always in the house, and if my eye seem* at all disposed to annoy me, I give It a dose, aud that is an end of it. I would not be with out it for any amount of money. I take occasion to say, farther, that my wife used to suffer severely at times from protracted pain in and over tier eye at.d she has found Poor Richard’s Eye Water a sov ereign spocidc in her case, giving her almost iustant relief. Grateful to God for the benefit that 1 have personally received. I cannot but commend the piep* aratiou to all who have been sufferers like myself. I* h F.\sn\ Pastor of Broad Street Baptist Church.
