Wife and I.
We quarrel’d this morning, wife and I,
Wewere out‘of temper and scarce knew why,
Though the cause was trivial and common,
But to look in our eyes you’d have sworn
that we both -
Were a couple of enemies spiteful and wrath-
Net awedded man and woman.
Wife, like a tragedy queen‘ in a play,
Tossed her sweet little head in aslefty a way
As so little a woman was’able:
She clenched her lips with a sneer and a
' frown, '
While I being rougher, stamped up and
down,
’Like acarcless groom in a stable.
us then)
Of little women and little men, .
You’d have laughed at our spite and. pus
_ sion : . 7
And Would n'eVer have dreamed that astorm
like this
E Would be rainbow’d to tears by that sun-
light, a kiss, .
Till we talked in the old fond fashion.
,Yet the stormwas over in less than an. hour,
And was followed soon by a sunny shower,
And that again by embraces;
. Yet so little the meaning was understood,
That we almost felt ashamed to be good,
And, were a blush on our faces.
Then she, as a woman, much braver became,
And tried to bear the whole weight of the
blame, '
By her kindness, her self-removing;
When seeing her humble, and knowing her
' true, . , - .
I all at once became humble, too,
, And very contrite and loving.
But seeing I acted an humble part, _
She laughed outright with a frolic heart-
A laugh as careless as'Cupid ;
And the laughter wrangled along my brain,
Till I almost fell in a passion again,
And became quite stubborn and stupid, '
And this was the time for her arms to twine
Around this stubbornest neck of mine,
Like the arms of a maid round a lover; -
And feeling. them there, with their warmth,
you knew .
I laughed quite a different laugh, and so
The storm (as I called it) was over.
So then we could talk with the power to
please:
And though the passing of storms like these
Leaves a certain felicity ’
Oi getting easily angry again, -
Yet they free the heart and rebuke the lining»
And teach us a rough humility-
You see that we love one anotherse well,
That we find more comfort than you can tell
In jingling our bells and corals ;
In the fiercer fights of a world so drear,
We keep our spirits so close and clear
That, we need such trivial quarrels.
In the great, fierce fights of the world we try
To shield oneauether, my wife. and I,
Like brave, strong man and woman;
But the trivial quarrels 0’ days and nights,
Unshaékle our souls for the gréat fierce fights,
And keep us lowly and human. '
Clouds would grow in the quietest mind,
And make it unmeet to mix with its kind,
Were nature less wise as a mother;
And with storms like ours theremust flutter
out .
From the bosom the hoardedeup. darkness
_ and doubt— ?
The excess of our love for each other!

Our Idol.
Close the door lightly,
Bridle the breath,
Our'little, earth angel _
Istalking with death. _
Gently he woos her,
She wishes to stay, .
His arm is about her-.-
He hears her away !
Music comes floating
Down from the dome;
Angels are chanting
The sweet welcome home.
Come, stricken weeperl
Come to the bed;
Gaze on the sleeper—
Our idol is dead 1
Smooth out the ringlets;
Close the blue eye—
No wonder such beauty
Was claimed in the sky:
Cross the bands gently
. O’er the white breast,
. ”So like a wild spirit 4
_ Strayed from the blest;
Bear her out softly,
This idol of ours,
Let her grave slumber

“So I should think, after what you
have said of him.”
“And yet, sir, remember he only ;
earned nine dollars a week!”
"I remember that very distinctly,’ I
answered. ‘Yes, sir, his death, indeed, ..
is s'_public calamity. It is no figure of .
speech to say that his grave will be wa- ;
e
tered by tears.’ ~ 5
‘Nene. sir, none. He will be serrewed .
for by hundreds, and his memory will be
greener and more fragrant as the years i
puss by. He reared his own monument
before he left us—of good deeds!’
I parted from the stranger; and as I =
walked from the cemetery, I said to
another man, who stood by my side,
while I looked at a fine piece of emble-
iilstic statuary: . ,
‘They ha'v'é been burying a rich msnl’
‘Yes,’ he coldly responded.
‘Whut did he leave?’
‘N otbing but money.’
IThey have been burying a poor man,
also?’
‘Toijeters.’ A light broke over the
man’s face.
‘But he had not even money to leave.’
'But something far better,’ answered
the man, in a tone of rebuke.
‘Wbat?’
‘Good deeds, which, like good seed,
will reproduce themselves a thousand
fold—Tom Peters earned just nine dol-
lars a 'Week; Edward Ellis, Esq.’—there
was smiling contempt in his tones—‘wss
worth, it is said, a million of dollars; yet
the humble repemakor did, while living,
a hundred times the most good with his,
money, and leaves an estate that shall
go on increasing in value through count-
less yesrs. But the estate of Old Ellis
will not pass to the third generation.
Tom Peters had the true riches, sir, that
are imperisbuble. People will ask, when
small like Ellis dies, "What property
has he left behind him?’ But when one
like our good ropcmaker passes away,
the angels ask, ‘tht good deeds has he
sent before him?’ That is the dlfl'er'ence,

The explanation of the removal of this
loyal and brave man is new fully under-

battle of the Chicamauga, this became by
far the most impel-taut point On all our
long military line. Yettlle favorite gen;

MR. Bureaus IN Lennon—On the
evening of Oct.,20th, Henry Ward Beech-
rer spoke in Exster Hall, a vast building,
capable of holding many thousands of
people. All early as five o'clock, says the
London Nevis, the crowd began to assem-
ble, and before six o’clock it became so
dance as to block up not only the foot
way but the carriage way of the Strand,
and the Committee determined. to open
A tremendous rush followed
which at once crowded the house, filled
the corriders’und staircase, still leaving
an immense crew in Strand and Burleigh
street. Mr. Beecher was finally carried
into the hall on the shoulders of police
men, and on appearing on the platform
was received with shouts of applause._
Mr. Beecher spoke of the forbearance of
the north and why it did not at first .go
for emancipation, and showed why it did
when slavery attempted to lift itself 'into
a national policy, and to destroy the gov-
ernment. The speech was warmly cheer-
ed, the name of Mr. Lincoln "was receiv-
ed with deafening plaudits, and at the
conclusion of the long lecture a resolutien
was carried on motion of Prof. Newman,
supported by Rem—Newman Hall . and
Gao. Thompson, thanking Mr. Beecher
for his admirable address, expressing the
hearty sympathy of the meeting with his
reprobstibu of the slaveholders rebellion,
his vindicatieubf the rights of a free gov-
ernment aild’congratulating him on the
triumphs which have crowned the labor
of himself and his assistants in the anti-
slsvery policy of President Lincoln and
his cabinet .

The recent call of the President of the
United States upon Connecticut for" list
proportiOn of three hundred thousand
volunteers to reinforce our armies in the
fisld, and the want of extended and effi-
cient efi'erts to secure?theira enlistment,
have led me to couv’ene’ your 'hbue’r’iblu
body and solicit your cooperation il'i’
adopting such measures as in your judg:
meat may be necessary to comply with
the requisitieu. ~
' Tbcquots assigned to this State, by
the wt;- Departmcnt‘,‘ is' five Ibobsibii
four hundred and thirty-one. The quats‘
assigned, for the 4 draft new in progress; is
: revue :thellSand six . bhndred and .Kuinety-
:0ne,'eu_ly two thousand "fivefhuudrfed and
eight ofwhicll hudibeenebtsined on the
rut of- October last, buying A deficiency.
at that date of five .thousaud one bun-
dred‘ and eighty-three. The deficiency
0n former calls, as claimed by the War
Department, is seventeen~ huudrcd and
forty-eight, but necerding t0 the moduli)
of the Adjutant General 0f thetigtate,
there'is a surplusof five hundred 'and
thirtyjoue, requiring 'in all ten’thc'u’Issnd
and eighty-four. i
This deficiency arises from the want of
uniformity iuztbc'actiou of towns, and
1 the want of ' harmony between’State and
Notices] legislation. 1 I
Our legislation; upon this subject has
:been founded upon "the idea that the
' towns asidistriet organizati0ns, should be
required to hear a large portion of the
burden placed upou- the Slate, and in
expectation that uny‘surplus of volunteers
furnished by the town, above the quota
assigned to it by the State authority;
' would be applied to the next queta, and
would diminish the number drafted from
the town, should a draft be ordered.
As the draft has been ordered by the
General Government, efforts have been
made to have its action conform to these
‘ expectations, but such conformity is not
in accordance with the Act of Congress
for “enrolling and calling out the Na-
tional forces,” which apportion troops
called for by the President to States and
: Congressional Districts. If any District
: shall furnish a surplus of volunteers under
any call, the President is authorized to
credit that number on the next quota,
and to diminish, to that extent, the next
draft which may be ordered in that dis-
trict; but he is not aulhorized to make
any distribution of the surplus among the
towns which furnish them, or 510 make
any distinction in drafting from towns in
the same district.
A surplus furnished under an upper-
tionment made by State authorities can-
not, under the law of Congress, be
credited to towns; but must be applied
to the entire district. Towns, as subdi-
visions of districts, are not recognized.
There is, therefore, new no motive for
towns te vote large sums from their
treasuries to encourage volunteering, as
the burdens will rest upon them alone,
“ while the benefits will be distrlbnted over
the entire district. Hence our present“
inactivity.
It is new necessary to awaken a new
interest throughout the State, and to
stimulate the whole people to vigorous
efforts to meet the demands of the Gen-
eral Government. ,
It is evident that this cannot be done
by the voluntary action of local authori-
ties alone, nor by appropriations made
exclusively from the State Treasury.
We should place the responsibility as
much as possible upon the people, and
combine the efi‘orls of both local and
State authorities.
,Tbese views lead me respectfully to
suggest that the “Act to Provide for
the Organization of a Volunteer Militia
for the Public Defence,” approved July
mm, 1862, by which towns, cities-and
boroughs are authorized to make appro-
priations to encourage the enlistment of
volunteers at their discretion, composted;
that an appropriatioube made from: the
State Treasury for additional monthly
