A BATTLE BALLAD.
The following beautiful ballad, written
by F. 0. Ticknor, never before appeared in
print:
A summer Sunday morning,
July the twenty-first,
In eighteen hundred and sixty-one,
The storm of battle burst.
For many a year the thunder
Had muttered deep and low.
And many a year through Hope and suer,
The store had gathered slow,
Now hope had fled the hopeful,
Aud fear was with the past;
And on Manasas’ cornfields,
The tempest broke at last.
A feint upon our centre.
While the foeman massed his might,
For our swift and sure destruction,
0 With his overwhelming “right ”
Ail the summer ail* was darkened,
With the trampling of their host;
Ail the SilndaV stillness broken,
By the clamor df their boast
With their lips of savage shouting,
And their eyes of sullen wrath,
Goliahwith the weaver beam,
The champion of Gath.
Are they men who guard the passes,
Oh our “left” so far away;
In thy coil fields, oh ! Manassas,
Are they nien wHo fought td-day ?
Our Jx>ys are brave and gentle,
And their brows are smooth and white ;
Have they grown to men. Manassas,
In the watches of a night?
Beyond the grassy hillocks.
'There are tents that glimmer white ;
Beneath the leafy coverlet,
There is steel that glistens bright-
There are eyes of watchful reapers,
Beneath the summer leaves,
tYith a glitter as of sickles,
Impatient for the sheaves.
They are men who guard the passes,
They are nien who bar the ford ~
Stands our David at Manassas,
The champion of the Lord.
They are men who guard our altars,
And beware ye. sons of Gath,
THe deep and dreadful silence,
Os the Lion in your path.
Lb 1 the foe was mad for slaughter,
And the whirlwind hurled on;
But our boys had grown to heroes—
They were Lions every one
And they stood a wall of iron,
And they shown a wall of flame,
And they beat the baffled, tempest
The caverns whence it came.
To the caverns of the witches,
To'the cauldrons of the fiends,
To the black and outer darkness,
Os the Northern cave of winds.
And Manassas’ sun descended.
On their armies crushod and torn,
On a battle bravely ended,
On a nation grandly born.
The laurel and the cypress,
The glory and the grave,
We pledge to tbee, oh 1 liberty,
The life-blood of the brave.
’Late California papers give some
fearful details of the distress cartsed
by the failure of the rice crop in Java.
Corpes of men and women who have
died of hanger, are daily found on
the roadsides, and it is no ranty to'
see persons laying along ihe roads
exhausted and awaiting death.
A NEW DdG STORY. *
A TRUE STORJ OF A SAGACIOUS DOQ A
FAMILY OF CHILDREN* ATTACKED BY
A CRAZY WOMAN AND DEFENDED
fcY A FAITHFUL DOG.
v • ,
All read stories df sagacious dogs
With‘interest. Sere is anew
and it has the additional merit of
being strictly true. A certain law
yer in San Franciscd Las a wife, a
hurse-giil, ft Whole house of small
children, and a large Newfoundland
‘dog as 4 playmate for the little ones.
It was not known until lately that
the dog had any other merits tnin
A doggish attachment to the family
a kind, playful disposition and a
good appetite. A startling exigen
cy arose and he became the defender
of that family. The lawyer has a*
near neighbor Whose wife Is afflicted
with a mild type of insanity. The
unfortunate woman was supposed to
be perfectly harmless, and her hus
band kept her with him. She was
an object mournful interest in the
neighborhood and her vagaries some
tiii&s amuse the children. Nobody
ever thought of her becoming dan
gerous. One day when the lawyer
was at his officb and his wife Was out
shopping, and the children, left in
charge of the nurse girl 5 were romp
ing with tlie dog, there was a violent
knocking at the door which startled
the whole house. The girl Went to
the door, and the children crowded
around her, and the dog Was there
too, With aii expression of interest
on his countenance.
"When the door was opened the
crasy woman forced heir Way into the
hall; looking very touch excited.—
She talked loud and looked wild,
and was evidently rating niad. The
dog knew her, and appearing also
to know that there iva3 -something
wrong on foot, he crowded in be
tween the affrighted children arid
the visitor and commenced barking.
The nurse girl not being alarmed,
told Him to “ get out.” The ihahide
woman it seems took the remark as
addressed to her, seized the girl by
the hair, and dragged her down, and
finally Clutched her throat and com
menced strangling her. The girl,
was powerless in the hands of the
maniac, and the children ran scream
ing. The dog not liking the bourse
mutters had taked; sprang at the
mad woman With open jaws and fas
tened upon her. She loosoded her
hold of the prostrate girl, and made
her way for the door in charge of
the dog. She stepped outside, and
the animal let her go. The nurse
girl then bolted the door, and the
now doubly arraged woman began
to throw stones and break the win
dows, and finally got an axe and
commeneed hewing dowii tlib door.
The hotise ttas iti the suburbs and
no policeman was near. The girl
locked the terrified children in a
room, and leaving the dog to guard
the house, went out by the back door
And hastened to the lawyer’s office.
The mad woman, hearing the chil
dren shrieking in the back part of
the house, and the barking of tHe
dog in the sanie direction, left the
front door and went to the rear of
the house. She saw the childfeK’s
faces huddled together in the win
dow, and made a fresh attack. She
broke tne window all to pieces and
tiled td get in toy it, but the opening
was a little too high and she had no
ladder. The terror of the children
during the scene can probaly be im
agined. They heard their friend,
the dog, at the door outside, aiid
there he faithfully stayed, protesting
against the riotous proceedings with
Eis deep-toned voice. Presently the
baffled maniac Uiade her way
through the baek door wiih her axe,
and stood face to face With the f<se
that had previously forbidden her
the house. He lay crouching at the
children’s door, and there the law
yer found him Wheh he came with a
sufficient force to raise the siege.
Mistress— “ Mary; go into the sit
ting room please, and tell me how the
thermometer stands.” Mary after
Investigating it, replied “ that it
stands on the first mantle-piece, just
against the wall.”

A RELIGION THAT A PAROT COtJLD SCARE

began preaching t 6 tiiem in his earn

tue in them—that every one of them
Would go to efadless perdition unless
they speedily repented;
dust as he Spbk’e the sentence, lip
spoke the parroi fron* liis hiding
place: *
“All hands below I”
To say that. “ all hands ” were
startled would be a inild way of pUit
tiug.it. The peculiar voice from an un
known source had much more effect
oil them than the parson’s voice ever
had. He waited a ttVoinent and tlieh
a shade or two pillar, he repeated
the warning.
“ All hands below!” again rang
out from somewhere;
The preacher started ffom the
pUlpit and locked anxiously around,
inquired it anybody h&et Spoken.
“ All hands below!” was the bitty
reply, at which Ihb entire panic
Stricken congregation got up, aiid a
moment afterward they all bolted
for the doors, the preacher trying
his best to be the first, and during
the time the inischievous bird kept
Up his felling :
“ All hands below 1”
Theie was one old womah present
who was lame, and bould not get
out as fast as the rest, an'd in a short
time she was left entirely alone.—
Just as she was about to hobble out,
the parrot flew down, and alighting
on her shoulder, yelled in her ear :
“All hands below!”
“ No, jio, Mr. Devil!” shrieked the
woman, “you caii’t mean me. I
don’t belong here, tgo to the other
church across the way.”
A to Names. —The
Charleston Courier relates the case
of three fine ocean steamers that have
been built and named after llilee
great Oceans, which have all been
unfortunate, and Mate all been the
coffins of an hundred sbiilS find more,’
viz : The Artie; the Pacific; and the
Atlantic. The Arctic fcarrie iii colli
sion with thb French steamer "Vesta,
oh the Newfoundland bc-ast and sunk,
causing a loss of two hiihdred and
fifty lives. The Pacific, with a large
number of passengers, was never
heard of after she left Liverpool.
She doubtless foundered and went
down with all on board. The sad
fate of the Atlantic, With its awful
destruction of five hundred or six
hundred lives, is still the engrdtsing
topic of piiblid interest. The god
Nepttlhe, like the God of the He
brews; seems td frown Upon having
any graven image to commemorate
his majesty and power.
The story of the city minister who
opened his front door suddenly, and
surprised a guilty looking maii Who
was just in the act of depositing a
nearly covered basket on the door
step, is Ihus continued:
“Aha!” said the minister, rushing
out and grasping, the mail by the cdl
lar. “What do you mean by leaving
a baby on my doorstep ? Ah, I have
you, you scoundrel. I’ll show you
how io abandon an infent to the cold
mercies of the world!” And all these
reffiarks were punctuated by kicks.
“I haiiit left any baby at your
door, said the man, taking up the
basket and lifting the cover. I
brought a right fat Christmas turkey
fo't you, but I’m d—d if you shall
have it now if you was starving.”
And he walked gloomly away.
The minister had a pensive, unhap
py look and currugated brdw as he
dissected his buckwheats a few min
utes later. Evidently there had been
a mis understanding.
