From the La Crosse (Wisconsin.) democrat. God Bless our Noble President. Yesterday was Fast Day. ThewMow makcrcallol for half a million men an-1 then aske-1 God to bless him for the cruel deed ! And in this connection wo are led to repeat : Gol Bless our nolle President. And for what ? For being President? Xo ! For Leing a statesman ? No! For being the second AVashingtoa? Xo ! Then why is he deserving a Divine Blessing ? We will tell you. In early life he was born. His boyish days were Hnt God only knows where or how. His budding manhood wasted away in splitting rails, steering a flat boat ?r in telling obscene yarns in corner groggeries. By accident he was nominated for President and elected by the efforts of dishonest oftice seekers. And when elected he took a solemn oath to work for the good of the country to honor the Union to respect the Constitution to enforce obedience to the laws. And now as his term is drawing to a close he asks God to bless him, and his satelites over the land repeat with mock earnestness : God lless our noble President ! Bless him for being the poorest apology for a Chief Magistrate the world ever saw. Bless our noble President for being the only clown, buffoon and story teNer ever elevated to a position of iniluence in this countrj 1 "Biejss him for rilling the land with smutty jokes with foul mouthed and obscene stories which even blackguards by profession are ashamed to repeat. Bless him foroveriding all laws bot'i human and divine. Bless him for his imbecile incompetency and for his success in ruining a groat nation. Bless him for turning the war for the rttoration of the Union and for tlitj suppression of the rebellion into a wicked

and murderous crusade for cotton, niggers and power. Lless him for making a million of widows and five millions of orphans. Lless him for robbing the north of its bone and sinew for sing the bodies of those whose servant he is to enrich the soil of rebel territory. Bless lum for calling for the strength of the nation in driblets and emasculating the power which, if rightly used, would have, in half the time he has been on the throne, ranked the United States as the proudest, bravest and most prosperous nation on the face of the globe. Bless him for piling mountains of taxes upon us for the stamps we use for the depreciation of our currency fovtlia poverty, ruin and sufleringi in the land for the thousands of women he has forced ' into houses of prostitution for the thousands of broken hearts for the thousands of orphaned children who vill curse him forever for the army ot cripples for the corruption in high places for the trampling upon the liberties of a free people for freeing the negroes by a stroke of" his pen for continuing this war till slaves re freed, thus proving the foolishness of his proclamation for the failure of our armies for the deprivation of rights which have made Ameiica the home for all of (rod's oppressed for the depopulation of the land and the feeling of undefinable dread for the future which might have been gold had he been more of a man and a statesman, and less of a clown and pliant , lool in the hands of fanatics.

A tree which is fond of water, when planted near some brook, will set off all its principal roots in that direction. How does it know that it will be able to reach the border of it ? To say in popular phrase' that the water attracts the root in that direction, is to invent a new and remarkable sort of at traction. An attraction that pulls at the rods in the ground and turns them at the point of starting, is a something created! to account for the fact in question, which is even more difficulty than the fact itself. Mr Madison, for example, had an aqueduct of logs, which, in reaching his house, passed by a treespecialy fond of water, at a considerable distance from it. Abreast of the tree there was an auger hole in the log that had bten filled with a plug of soft wood. Exactly thitherward the tree sent off a Ionpr stretch of roots, which forced their way through the plug, choking up the passage, and were found there drinking like so many thirsty animals. as it then the soft wood plug that at tracted these roots? It certainly should be, on the attraction principle ; for the water was just as near at other points as here. It is said that a strawberry, plan ted in sand, with good earth a little wav off, will turn its runners all in the latter direction, and that if the good earth is to far oft to be reached, the plant will make no effort on that 8ide more than oh the other, which is equivalent to saying that the plant has, in its life principle, an instinct of measurment. It does not measure the ground and then itself and then compare the two, hut it has an adaptive power by which, without comparison it graduates its action by its possibilities. JC3T Mr. Day advertises tho loss of his dog-. Brown hopes he will succeed in finding him ; for if "every dog has his day," he doesn't see why every Day should not have his dog.

J-1 . i t.e "et Tor!; ra ti 'if Co::inr e. A Look Backward. Some of th 2 more radical papers seek to stay the public indignation against Mr. Lincoln's ultimatum, by the old cant talk and twaddle abont the sdave power, and the way it ruled the country. They have a curious imagination upon this subject. They seem to think that slave power a gigantic tyrant, which Mice ate the small children of Abolitionists, and otherwise tortured the land. They warn the people that any settbpmcntofthewar without abolition will give us the old Union, in which slavery will have some of its old power, and con

trol politics to a certain extent. Itmavi be true, and it may not be true. But pray, what harm would it do ii it. should happen to be true '? Answer the question fairly. Yc have had three years of government during which the much abhorred "slave power" has been absolutely excluded from nil share in it. Has the government been any better ? lias the country been any more prosperous ? Have the people been 'happier ? Have you made politics any more pure ? Have officials of your new party stolen any less ? Have fraud, corruption, robbery, plunder of the public treasury, disappeared from the laud under a pure antislavery rule ? We don't ask anything bout the war, but we respectfully demand whether the anti-slavery Administration has improved on the so-called power which preceded it, by giving us any more honest, economical, or moral rulers than we had. The question is a fair one, and we defy any supporter of this Administration to answer it fairly. "The pro-slavery power was corrupt." you say, Grant it; but your Pharisaical anti-slavery power is ten times more corrupt. When the Democrats ruled the land, by means of their bargains with the South, there were robbers in public oJlice. True; and now, when your boasted pure and moral anti-slavery power rules the land, the world groans under the weight of its crimes and shames. Xever since there were nations on earth has there been such corruption, robbery, and plunder, as in the anti-slavery party, and among its chief leaders. The war has brought on us s .varms like the lico of Egypt, vermin of the vilest kind, professing devout anti-slaverv sentiments, and devouringthe substance of widows audi orphans. The air is foul with their breath. They go along the streets shouting "copperhead, traitoi," and make their abolitionism known at the corners of the streets, and especially in the market places where t.hey pass their ime in schemes for extortionate contacts, and in buying and seliincr the blood of the Amencn soldier. The newspapers which are loudest and Tnost long-winded in the anti-slavery hypocrisy, are in nine cases cut of ten supported by or engaged in contracts, or public offices of some kind, whereby they receive greenbacks as the reward of their virtuous professions. The atmosphere of the anti-slavery party is an atmosphere of plunder. We do not exaggerate. The recent ringing of the ears at the tempest of accusations hurled back and forth by the great men of the party, is abundant evidence of the tiuth of cverv word we utter. And yet these men think it not yet too late to deceive the people by the old cry against the iniquity of the "slave power." Why, sirs, the whole hitory of our Government contains no such iniquity as has been enacted under the color of antislaverv morality. The church has been debased ,and degraded ; the Bible has ' olated ill eVCiy letter and line the hour has long since arrived when a re spectable man hesitated to bo seen walking in the streets with a radical, because the inference was universul that he must be concerned in some scheme of plunder. This is solemnly true. Xo one can deny it. Tho lirst question now, which is asked about a man, when it is said "he is black in politics," is, "wbat contracts lias be?" And these miserable wretches, forsaken of honest men, broken down in character, "unfit for earth, unfit for heaven," are the men who have been so prominent in recommending that the frowns of society be bestowed on "copperheads," and, in Xew Englahd especially, have urged the impropriety of trading or even associating with copperheads. It is tho purest impertinence in the world for the a radical newspapeas to attempt now to excite the people .against the old Union. We may admit everything alledged against it, all the aggressions of the slave power, all the wickedness of sl avery, and : yet, if we could get white and black rac-1 es both out of the grasp of this abolition demon which drinks the blood of the nation till she reels and staggers from very faintness, we would cut oil right and left hand, pluck out right and left eye, yield fortune, life itself, only to accomplish that blessed return to the old time. What reckless folly does he display who seeks in thsse times to convin.ee the people that they were not well off three years ago ! Who doe he thinft will believe him? A So&cs Boy ix a Tight Place. The Lyons Republican learns that ayoungfel 1 1 ow residing in Stnlus, upon putting on lis Sunday -go-to-nveeting pants last Sabbath morninsr. they having huntr near an open window, found, when too late, and to his sorrow, that a colony of hornets had taken possession ot the inner portion of the garment. Before ho could release himself, the insects stung him so severely that Le was unable to assume a sitting posturp for a number of days. 3T Josh Billings, in his glossary of "war and army phrazes," defines "a successful raid" as, "cutting off a turnpike 'within the enemy's lines, aud bringing in

a band male and two niggers to board.

Tho Deacon's Mistake. Wheeler was the name of a deacon w ho lived in the eastern pait of Xew llcmpshire some years since. One day, Mrs. Deacon Wheeler left her house and hus

band, for the purpose of visitinga friend, i leaving hrr children 'o in tne custo.lv ol . I Nancy Skellets, good-looking, but rnnipr simti i on l who IlVii! in tin; l;ir-ii- ' ' the 1 some tl cl tue nouso, ana pi 1 n-here Navrcy was endeavoring to cornfort the little-one. I don't know how it happened, but while the two were engaged in stilling the baby, the deacon got an arm around Nancy's neck and kissed her, and after the child was quiet she sat on his knee, and while she sat there, who should en ter the room but a lemale. a near neighbor, and the greatest talker in town. Nancy gave a jump and the deacon did the same out it was too late. Ihein-i trader had seen enough to make out a good story, and she left the house, almost bursting with the importance ofjier discovery. The Deacon expected trouble, and he was not disappointed. In a few days he was summoned before the church, and when he went to the meeting, he taw that his case was likely to prove troublesome, for all the deacons looked blank, and the sisters withering. "Deacon Wheeler," said tho patsoii, "you are charged with hugging and kissing Nancy Skellets, and the church would fain have you clear your skirts of such a j crime. We expected better tilings of you, deacon, we did, indPed. What have you to say in extenuation of the crime 9 "Brethren and sisters," said the deacon, rising in humiliation, and hanging his head, "I did kiss Xancy." A terrible sensation in tho church. One or two sisters nearly fainted with cxeess of emotion, while the brethren groaned in chorus. "But," continued the deacon, as soon as silence was obtained, "I thought 1 was kissing Mrs. Wheeler! ' "Oh !" cried the brethren and sisters, and concluded to admit the plea, while they examined Xancy Skellets. Xancy had beared all that had passed, and she thought she saw an opening for escape - "Did the deacon kiss yon ?" asked the parson. "Yes, sir,' said Nancy, with a simper. - "Why did you let him ?" thundered the minister. "Because," Xancy replied, I thought I was Xancy Wheeler !" Of course, after such testimony as that, tho deacon and Xancy were not considered fit for the church, so they wre expelled. s i as Low Utcam. In the days when high-pressure steamers were the fashion, opposition the rule, and racing the custom on the Western! lakes, we har.l, felt and laughed at the following, did at Buffalo, by Jim Brundage, mate of the Columbus : The General Wayne and Columbus were both up for Detroit, and steam up ready for a start. Captain, clerks, mates and engineers were on the wharf electioneering and telling all sorts of lies about their own and the rival boat. Brundage headed off Captain Pratt, of the Wayne, who had in tow a squad of twcnty-n.no passengers, whose leader, bargainer, an I oracle was a strong-minded woman of fortylive, who didn't quite like the "nasty, high-pressin" steamboats, "what's aliens blown' up, besides scaldin folks." "But, my dear woman," said Brundage, "if you will just step this way a minute, I'll convince you that the Columbus can't blow up. It's impossible." Brundage cot the company to the gangway, and tben brought out from the kitchen a bucket of water not warmer than milk just from the cow. "There madam!" cried the exultant and truthful officer. "We never heat our water hotter than that. .So, you see, we can't blow up ; and if we should. don't you see the water ain't hot enough to hurt anybody ! We carry low steam, we do." The argument prevailed, and the Columbus got that lot of passengers. Upon another occasion, Brundage was at the canal packet landing, as the boat came in from Rochester, on Saturday evening, exercising all his eloquence to induce a company of very pious inclined travellers to take the Columbus, which was to leave Sunday morning. They objocted to going on a Sunday boat, but still didn't like the expense of laving over in Buffalo Jill Monday morning. Brundago's explanation satisfied and decided them. "Ladies and gentlemen." he said, "we don't do any Sunday work on the Colnmbus, only just to get her out of Buffalo. You see, we get up stesm enough Saturday night to last us all the way to De troit, and then, just as soon as we get j pa'-t the light-hoasc, we lash the wheel and let her jog along herself. She's heiM ! been through so often, she lr ii mv a tl It I ,1 t 9 9 way jut as well as any of us. They went with him ZT A Detroit paper mentions a gentleman of a statistical turn of. mind who has kept a careful record of the desertions from the rebel army fciuce the first Bull Run, as they have ben reported in the journals from time to time, and the sum total shows that three millions and three hundred thousand rebel soldiers have abaudoncd the Confederacy and come within our lines.- :

I guess I won't have a gay oil dinner much, for I'll be a citizen then, and won't have to break my teeth off gnawing hard tack. After I've had my dinner, 1 will call for a bottle of wine and a cigar, and all the Xew York papers, and then I'll jest set down, perch my feet upon the table, drink my wine, smoke my cigar, read the news, and wonder why the Army of the Potomac don't move. Fanaticism Analysed. 'The life aud character of liobespierre,' sa-s Arnold, "has to me a most important lesson. It shows the frightful consjequvnee of making everything give way to a favorite notion. The man was a just man, and humane naturally, but he would narrow everything to meet his own views, and nothing could check him at last. It was a most solemn warning to us what fanaticism may lead to in God's world. Fanaticism is idolatry, and it has the moral evil of idolatry in it. That is, a fanatic worships something which is the creature of his own devices, and thns even his self-devotion in support of it is only an apparent self-sacrifice, for it is in fact making the part of his nature or his mind which he least values offer sacrifice to that rt hich he most values." How true this is in regard to .Sumner, Wilson, Becchcr, et id omne genus of fanatics, who are now responsible before God and man for the ruin of this country. It is a pity that Arnold did not take us on liom personal to what may be called class fanaticism, that may affect any number of men, and is to-day affecting this wretched nation. It would have been instructive to have from his powerful pen au analysis of that fell spirit under which a collective body of men will rob, deny justice, act falsely and cruelly, all for the good of the institutions they represent, while they may be incapable of any such conduct on their own account. e of tho Xorth to-day arc the ictitus ;of a fanaticism upon the ml ject of tlaverv. where we see, as in the French Bevolution, a whole people propellc 1 on to prodigious, exterminating var, in which they madly ruin or arc ruined, while other" nations" look oii in horror an 1 ,li,mav. In such au extremity, as we all know from sal experience, civilization and religion afford no check or allevia tion of calamity. The ono only gives J greater means of destruction; tho other j as usual blesses all baseness ttlike. Tho sacred name of patriotism serves equally . in attack or defense, being only a mak to the selfish feelings actually concerned. All this is simpb idolatry, the worship of somo thing which is the creature of our own device?, to the entii. slighting and putting aside those principles of justice and kindness towards others, which God has established as the only true guide of human conduct. Philadelphia Aje. Proverbs La Pcrnma Fools are wise men in the a:Tair of wo men. Every man can tame a shrew but he that hath her. Ladws will sooner padon want ot tense than want of manners. Bare walls make gadding housewives. You mar know a foolish woman by her s nnery. Women ar wise on a tsudien ; tools on , preme.mation Beautv will buy no bees. Chooe a wife rtthcr by your car than your eye. Many blame the wife for there own thriftles life. Prettiness makes no pottage. While tho tall maid is stopping the little one hath swept the house. Women laugh when they can, and weep when they will. Beauty in women is like tha flower in spring ; Ut virtao is like tho .tars of heaven. - .
