I see her walking on the shore- *•
With bio wing hair and clasping hands.
Her wild thoughts fled jjoyond the seas
- To me in foreign lands. —
I see lier sitting on the cliff, _ -
" Patient to watch the fnrtherest range
Of tumbling seas that toss and fall, -
• And mock her by their change.
■ X see her sitting in the house,
But moving, aye .from room to room,
And startled at.the sudden sounds
That waken with the gloom.
- I see her sleepless in the night,,
When on the roof poufs down the rain,
And through her vacant heart then creeps
A suffocating pain. . . -
I se4 her-when tlie rising sun
Gleams oh the window, rich and red,
Still asking sadly o’er the words; ,
“Oh, is he false—or .dead?”
Isoohcr growing wan and white,
Her eyes enlarged with wild unrest;
I see her, but.I cannot soothe #
The anguish of her breast.
And thus, ah, thus;-for many months, .
She waits to have some sign or word,
Then lays her weary down to die,
! . Heart-sick with hope deferred.
I lose her then. -But welll know
Tlie,angels lift her far and free,
To a Great Rest, from whence she looks
Past rain, and cloud, and sea.
. Past rain, and cloud, and dungeon wall,
She looks from heaven far away—
She sees the fetters on my feet,
And knows what made me stay.

cer published at Washington, D. C., the fol
lowing exty et of a “private letter” from
tho above named gentleman:
*'. ■! .ATt-AXTA, July 25.-
De-iisSik : I am satisfied it would bo
better forall who have occupied the position
I did to remain at home for the-present, and
send others who have been- regarded more
conservative andbetter Union men. This,
I think, would be, more acceptable to tho
people ot the North, and, therefore, best
policy. I feel conscious that I and others
who have occupied prdtninent positions are
now as loyal to-the Government as any oth
er citizens, but this is not the general opin
ion North. Entertaining these views Ishall
not consent to be a delegate, but I shall
heartily support the movement and the del
egates appointed. As ever, your friend,
JnSEI'H E. Bsowm.
