THE MAIDEN’S PRAYER. » JOHN G. WHITTIER. She rose from her delicious sleep, ' And put away her soft brown hair, And, in a tone as low and deep As love’s first whisper, breathed a prayer ; Her snow-white hands together pressed, Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid, The folded linen on her breast Just swelling with the charms it hid. And from her long and flowing dress Escaped a bare and snowy foot, Whose step upon the earth did press Like a sweet enow-flake, soft and mute; And then from slumbers chaste and warm, Like a young spirit fresh from heaven, She bowed that young and matchless form; * And humbly prayed to be forgiven. Oh, God ! if souls as pure as these *>eed daily mercy from Thy throne— if she upon her bended knees, Our holiest and purest one— She, with a face so clear and bright, We deem her some stray child of light; If she, with those soft eyes in tears, Hay after day in her young years, Must kneel and pray for grace from Thee, How hardly if she win not heaven, Will our wild errors be forgiven ! AN ANCIENT TOAST. It was a grand day, in the old ohlvalric time, the wine circling around the board in a nobl bar, and the sculptured walls rang with senti ment and-song. The lady of each knightly heart was pledged by name, and many a syllable significant of Liveliness had been uttered, until it came to St. Leon’s turn, when, lifting the sparkling cup on high— “l drink to one,” he said, “ Whose image never may depart, Deep graven on a gratefulheart, Till memory is dead. To one whose love for me shall last. When lighter passions long have passed, So holy ’tis and true; To one whose love hath longer dwelt, More deeply fixed, more keenly felt, Than any pledged to yon. ” Each guest trp started on the word, r •And laid a hand upon his sword, With tury flashing eye; And Stanley said: *‘We crave ihename Proud knight, of this most*peerless dame, Whose love you count so high. ” St. Leon paused, as if he would Not breathe her name in careless mood, Thus lightly to another; Then bent his noble head as though To give that word the reverence due, And gently said, “My Mother !” OUR SOLDIER.

Ghsfral Orders. ) No. 14. / The Major General Commanding being com pelled by wounds to relinquish, for the present, the command of the Department, takes this op portunity to express to the officers and men of the Coast Division, under Brigadier General John P. Hatch, his approbation of their good conduct during the operations on the line of the Charles ton and Savannah Railroad, since November last. At the battle of Honey Hill, on November 30th, although unsuccessful in the attempt to drive the enemy ftom his forts, the Division still maintain ed the fijrht with unwavering steadiness during the day, and retired from the field after nightfall in good Order and unpursned. Their losses attest alike their courage and discipline: At Dve«aux’ Neck, near the Coosaw’hatchie turnpike, <3l December 6th, the advance, in num ber much ilferioi to the opposing force, met the rebels in at open field, and drove them from the ground, ensured one flag, forced them to seek safety in flight, leaving their dead and wounded in our handi, and thus occupied a position from which the Railroad was under the easy fire of our guns. On December 9th the skirmish line forced its way to within a few yards of the Railroad and the forts which guarded it, remaining there under & meat galling fire until an opening had been cut through the woods between otir bat teries and the road, and thus perfected the work so gallantly begun upon the 6tn. The Divisiqi has obeyed all orders promptly and cheerfully, and since its co-operative move ments with (Jeneral Sherman’s Army, has vig ilantly -watched the enemy at its front, has promptly seized each fortified position upon the first indication of a proposed withdrawal on the part of the rebels, and has thus inspired the Commandii" General with the belief that it will continue to do faithfully and well the work allot ted to it in the great campaign which, is being prosecuted in South Carolina. To BrigacMer Generals Hatch and Potter, who have commanded this force, and to all the gallant officers and men under them, the Major General Commanding tenders his thanks for the past, and his earnest wishes for their continued suc cess. !
