Pull down the hough, Bob! Isn’t this fun? Now give it a shake, and—there goes one! Now put your thumb up to the other, and sec If it isn’t as mellow as mellow can be! I know by the stripe It must be ripe! That’s one apiece for you and me. Green, are they ? Well, no matter for that, Sit down on the grass and we’ll have a chat; And I’ll tell you what old parson Bute Said last Sunday of unripe fruit, “Life,” says he, “Is a beautiful tree Heavily laden with beautiful fruit. For the youth there’s love, just streaked with red, And great joys hanging just over liis head; Happiness, honor and great estate, For those who patiently work and wait; Blessings,” said he, “Os every degree, Ripening early and ripening late. Take them in season, pluck and eat, And the fruit is wholesome, the fruit is sweet; But, O my friends! —” Here he gave a rap On his desk like a regular thunder clap, And lie made such a hang, Old Deacon Lang Woke up out of his Sunday nap. Green fruit, he said,.God would not bless : But half life’s sorrow and bitterness, Half the evil and ache and crime. Came from tasting before their time The fruits Heaven sent, Then on he went To his Fourthly and Fifthly —wasn’t it prime ? But, I say. Bob ! we fellows don’t care So much for a mouthful of apple or pear; But what we like is the fun of the thing, When the fresh winds blow, and the hang-birds bring ■ 4^ Home grubs, and sing To their young ones, it swing In their basket-nest, tied up by its string. 1 like apples in various ways : They’re first rate roasted before the blaze Os a winter’s fire ; and O my eyes ! Aren’t tlieyhice,Though, made into pies ? T ‘scarce ever saw One, cooked or raw. That wasn’t good for a boy of my size ! But shake your fruit from the orchard tree, And the tune of the brook, and the hum of the bee, And the chipmucks ehipperiug every minute, And the clear sweet note of the gay little linnet, And the grass and the flowers; And the long summer lieurs, And the flavor of sun and breeze, are in it. But this is a hard one! Why didn’t we Leave them another week on the tree? Is yours bitter? Give us a bite! The pulp is tough, and the seeds are white, And the taste of it puckers My mouth like a sucker’s ! I vow I believe the old parson was right! THE TIUE.VViAL PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL,, CONVENTION. the third day’s session was opened with divine services. The President presented the Treasurer’s report of the Triennial Convention of Sep tember, 1805, of which the following is a summary: Disbursements —Secretaries, $750; printing, binding, &c., $7,02S ; sun dry expenses, $ol!l —total, $8,291. .Re ceipts.—Quotas of twenty six dioceses, $7,545. Deficit, S74G. This deficit, the Treasurer stated, would be in part covered by the balance on hand from the Convention of 1862. The report was referred to the Committee on Ex penses. The chairman of the Committee on Elec tions reported that they had examined the credentials of the various delegates repre senting the thirty-four dioceses, as record ed on the rolls of the Convention, and that they were all found to be in legal form and valid. The Committee on New Dioceses re ported favorably on the admission of the new diocese of Nebraska, and offered a resolution admitting them to Union with the Protestant Episcopal Church, under the nameof the “Council of Nebraska.” The Hon. S. B. Ruggles objected to the resolution, and spoke strongly against per mitting such changes in the nomenclature of church organizations as “ Council ” in stead of “ Convention.” The Rev. Dr. Howe, of Philadelphia, supported Mr. Ruggles in his opposition to such innovations. The Rev. Thomas C, Pitkin, D. D., of Michigan, spoke in favor of the use of the word “ Council.” The Rev. W. Cooper Meade, D. I)., of Connecticut, opposed the admission of the Diocese of Nebraska under the title of “Council,” a3 unconstitutional. He, however, proposed to vote for their admis sion conditional upon theirchaoging theur title as soon as their Convention should meet. The Rev. Dr. A. N. Littlejohn, of Brook lyn, thougbttbis debate premature because the matter was under consideration by the Committee on Canons and they had not yet reported on it. Dr. Littlejohn added that he held that a new Diocese had the power to select either word. The Rev. Joshua Peterkin, of Virginia, coincided with the previous speaker re garding the right to employ either word. Neither the Council nor Convention ap peared in the Constitution of the Church. He held that the diocese- had a right to adopt either word, and that instead of de bating about this trifling matter it was the first duty of tide Convention to welcome every new diocese with open arms. Rev. D. K. Goodwin, D.D., of Pennsyl vania, briefly supported the resolution. Judge L, B. Otis, of Illinois, opposed, ami argue*! that such innovations slwuld originate, if at all, in the General Conven tion. He, however, favored admitting them now on a pledge that they would dis card “Council” and adopt the recognized title of “Convention” at their first meet ing- Judge J. W. Stevenson, of Kentucky, said the new diocese should not be admit ted because such action would be unpre cedented. Judge William H. Battle, of North Caro lina, strongly favored their admission, ar guing their right thereto from a legal point of view. & The Hoti. Hamilton Fish quoted from Article 2 of the Oohstitutlon as follows: “The church of each diocese shall be en titled to representation by both clergy and laity, and such representation shall con sist of four clergymen, &c., chosen in the manner prescribed by the Convention, &c. Mr. Fish asked, if this resolution admit ting the Couucllof Nebraska was adopted, wlmt right, under the Constitution, would these delegates have to take their seats, since there hadbeeu no Convention, as required by Artitle 2 ? for. Fish therefore moved to amend the resolution so as to nave it read that the dl oOSfte of Nfftrattjga admitted as tion ami dropped the obuoxious title of “Council.” The Rev. William Adams, D.D., of Tenuessee, proposed to offer a resolution that would settle the poiut. [Laughter.] A member jin the rear of the house pro tested that those in hi# vicinity could hear neither the wisdom nor the jocularity of the Hotrse. Dr. Adamisaid the difficulty was notin the weaknessof his voice, but in the Gothic roof, and suggested that delegates when speaking should intone their sentences. He continued by asking that the reso lution be amended so as to admit the Council of Nebraska to full canonical union with this Church, with the under standing that the word “Council” as used in their Constitution is identical and per fectly synonymous with the word ‘‘Con testant Episcopal Chourch of the United States. He objected to the word Convention, be cause the Spiritualists, Baptists, and oth ers, held “conventions!” He thought the Episcopal Convention should not reject the diocese of Nebraska because they bad used the word Council until the House of Bishops had expelled Bishop Whipple for representing in their assembly the Coun cil of Virginia. The Rev. D. R. Goodwin, D.D., of Penn sylvania, began speaking in defence of the use of the word Council, when the Presi dent announced the hour for recess had ’ arrived. UTILIZING WASTE TALENTS. One of the greatest triumphs of modern chemistry is the utilizing of waste mat ters. Valuable substances, which in old imperfect processes of manufacture were lost, are uow saved and used over again. In the brisk competition which exists be tween manufacturers, the question of prof it and loss often turns on the extent to which the waste products, so-called, can be utilized. It seems to us that there is a lesson in this for American politicians to study—especially for those of the Repub lican faith, who look beyond the opera tion of temporary expedients to the per manence and well-being of their party, lu the South there are, at this moment, a great quantity of waste talents. The war killed off but a small proportion of that brain power which for four years held the whole North at bay. The armies, the ag gregation of human forces, which were wielded by it, are, the better part of them, dead and buried; but, scattered all through the South, in obscure places, holding bumble positions, and quite un heard of among the hosts, new names, whose political exploits till the Southern newspapers, are a large majority of the men whose mental ability and decision and force of character we found it so hard, to overmatch with all the combined Fed eral resources. To deuy the possession of great talents to these men would be to do injustice to the capacities of Northern statesmen and Northern generals. To ad mit them to the fullest is to reflect greater credit on the ability and courage which at iast vanquished opponents so worthy of our steel. That is a pitiful short-sighted policy which underrates an enemy before a battle or after a victory. The qbestioti is, How can these unem ployed talents be turned to account for the good of the South? There is but one answer that we know of to this question; aud that is to treat the South fairly, and give the loyal ex-rebels of ability achanee to come out and take their stand for the Union without unnecessary humiliation. The policy has been rather to repel them— to force them into the background by the application of test oaths aud all sorts of offensive means—than to juvite their co operation in the difficult task of restoring peace aud prosperity to the country. If enough of other first-class ability could be found in the South, or were imported thither, to render the aid of these unem ployed powers unnecessary, then there would be less reason to complain. „ But, unfortunately, other talent equal to the occasion does uot develop itself abundant ly. The “carpet-baggers” are a very com monplace lot; not much superior intellec tually to the negroes; and, if any one de sires to know what success the latter are likely to achieve in the future manage ment of the Southern States, when Con gress withdraws its patronizing haDd, he has but to read the proceedings of the leg islatures verbally reported in the Southern journals. Unless more brains can be had tor the conduct of Southern affairs than are uow brought to bear upon them, the local governments of the reconstructed States will be a farce and a stigma on the name of the republic. For these brains there is no other place to look at present than among the ranks of the old intellec tual class of the South. Therefore, we re peat that it would be the part of wisdom, and uot only that, but the dictates of true policy, considered simply as a party ques tion, for the Republicans to encourage by friendly advances instead of discouraging by odious legislation the participation in the local affairs of all tbe available talent of the South, without reference to the past. [ Journal of Commerce. From the Columbus Sun, 13th. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. Columbus, Oa., Oct. 10,1868. A public*meeting was this day held in the city of Columbus, when on motion, Gen. Henry L. Benning was called to the Chair, and Hugh King, Esq., appointed Secretary. The Chairman announced that the startling and painful intelligence had reached us of the death of one of our purest,'ablest and most politic public men, Howell Cobb, the great Georgia statesman, had suddenly died in New York city, on the 9th inst., and that this meeting had assembled to give expression to the loss which the country had sustained, and which we, as individuals, felt over this great calamity. * On motion, a committee of seven were appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the feelings of this meeting. Martin J. Crawford, A. R. Lamar, James N. Ram sey, Beveriy A. Thonton, Alex. C. Mor ton, Porter Ingram, and F. G. Wilkins, composed the commiftee. Whereupon, thecomfliittee reported through Mr. Cnfw ford the following resolutions : Resolved, That we have heard with the deepest sensibility the announcement of and country has indeed suffered ah irre parable loss, ami in sadness and sorrow, we bow,to this most painful und afflicting dispensation of an all wise Providence Resolved, That this meeting tenders Its heurtfelt condolence and sympathy to the bereaved family of the deceased, and that whilst We mingle our tears with theirs, over the grave of the departed, we weep also, that the wise und patriotic counsels of Howell Cobb are forever loss to his peo plßesolved, That a copy be sent to his family- , . After beautiful aud touching speeches made by Messrs. Crawford, Ramsey, La mar, Thornton, and Morton, the resolu tions were adopted, and the meeting ad journed. Henry L. Benning, Chr'm.
