There is a certain portioaof the war that will
nevrr go into the regular histories, nor be em
bodied in romance or poetry, which is a very
real part of it, and will if preserved, convey to
succeeding generaLimiea better idea of the spirit
of the conflict than many dry reports or oareful
narrative of events, and this part may be called
the gossip, the fun the pathos ofthe war. This
illustra'es the character of the leaders, the hu
mor of the soldiers, the dev. tion of women, the
bravery of tften the pluck of our heroes, the ro
mance and hardships of the service.
The Valiant and Brave Hearted, tha Picture*
qua and Dramatic, the Witty and Marvelous,
tue Tender and Pathetic, and the whole Panor
ama ofthe War are bore thrillingly portrayed
in a masterly manner, at once historical and ro
mantic, rendering it the most ample, unique,"
brilliant and 'tad a bio book that the war has
oalled forth.

POETRY.
THE l)VI\« MOJIIF.R.
We were weeping round her pillow.
For we knew that site must die-
It was night within our bosoms—
It was uight upon the sky.
There were seven of us children,
I /lie oldest one of all .-
So I tried to wldspar comfort,
But the bliuding tears would fall.
On tny knees my little brother
Leaned his aching brow and wept,
And my sister’s long black tresses
O'er my heaviug bosom swept.
The shadow of an awful fear
Came o'er mo as I trod,
To lay the burden of our grief
Before the tbroift es Gfoil.
“Oh, be kind to one another,”
Was He mother's pleading prayer.
As her hand lay like a snow flake,
On the baby’s golden hair.
Then a glory round her forehead,
Like the glory of a crown,
And in the silent sea of death
The star of life w.nt down.
Her latest breath was borne away
Upon that loving prayer;
And the hand grew heavier—paler,
In th< baby's golden hair.
A WEDDING UGHT KIUKT
.It wasn’t hardly the fair thing that the
boys did to Joe Thompson tbc night he was
[hurried, but (he temptation was irresistible -
They couldn't have helped it to save their
lives. I'll tell yon how it was.
Joe was about the most fancy dressed
buck in tbe town—over nice and particular
-—a perfect Miss Nancy 'in manners, always
putting on air.-?; and more dainty and mod
est than a girl. Well, when his wedding
night camp, he, was dressed trunk empty,
' ~ i -* r ->r»•
they had been moulds, and his legs candles,
and run Into them. Tight was no name
for them. Their 6et wns immense, and he
was prouder than half a dozen peacocks.
‘Aren't they nice, boys?’ he asked of the
two who were to be groomsmen and sec that
he threw himself away in the most approv-
J ed - fashion.
i ‘Ntunning! Gorgeous I' replied Tom Ben
i net. Never saw anything equal to them.—
j But, 1 say, Joe aren’t they just the least
j bit tight ? It strikes me that yon will have
|some difficulty in bending—won’t you?’
j ‘Pshaw, no! They acre as easy as aid
glove-. Seel
To prove the tmDtcr, hfe bcu‘. down so as
to touch his - patent leather*, whan crack '.
crack! followed like Ihe twin reports of a
revolver,
‘Thunder /’ exclaimed Joe, ts he clapped
his hands behind, and found a rent in the
oassirnore from stem to stera. Thunder/
the pants have burst, aud what shall I do?’
•I should rather think they had,’ answer
ed Tom, getting purple in the face, as he
endeavored to control his laughter. ‘But
there is no time to get anothur pair. It
only wants a half an hour lo the standing
up time, ami we have got a mile to go.
Carriage waiting, too - ’
■What shall I dot-T-what shall. J do?'
•I’ll tell yon wliatj'Joe, if mine would pt
you you should have them in welcom“: but
they are about a roue too big —would set
like a shirt on a bean-pole. 1 see no way
but to have them mended.’
‘Who can I get to do it, Tom V
‘Well, I am something of a tajlor, aoj
can fix them, so that ihcy won't show.—
Hold on a minute, r-.d 1 11 get a ueedie and
thread.’
‘You cm ?’ J/ay heaven bless you. ’
‘Off wi th your coat,’ commanded Tom
j as he came back.
i ‘Now lay yohrsidf over on the bed, and I
| will fix you in short order.’
I The comnumd was obeyed—the pants
I mended—the coat tails carefully pinned
I over, so as to conceal the ‘distress for rent, 1
and all went mern as a marriage bell, un
til Jovr follow and his blushing bride to the
I nuptial couch.
! There was only a dim light ia the room
I but It enabled Joe, as he glanced bashfully
{arouud, to see the sweetest face in the
t world, the rosy cheeks and ripe lips, the
J lovely aud loving blue eyes, and the golden
r cuils just peeping from out the snow sheets)
and he extinguished it aUogetber, and has
tened to disrobe hitnseir. Off came coat,
vest, fancy neck-tie and collar, boots and
socks in a burry, but somehow the paats
stuck. The more he tried, the room they
wouldn’t come, and he tugged vaiuly for
half an hour.
•Thunder!’ muttered be.*
•What ia the matter, dear” came lathe
softest of accents from the bed, where some
body was wondering if he »»s srir coming
to her arms.
It was a moment of desperation Ju® w -‘ s (
entirely overcome by the situation, and |
forgetting lis accustom'd btshfulhess, blus
, tend out:
•Molfy, that cursed Tom Bennett has -cw-
ed my pants, drawers, shirt and undershirt
all together /’
‘lt is too l)-d Y.'nit a mom'-ut, dear.'
A little stufkineless foot lirst peeped out.
then a ruflhd night-fram; the lamp was 1
lighted, a pair of soissors found. Joe re
leased, and. although ho dinted it. Tom
Bennett 'wears, that his ns (Ming shirt was
of the shortest possible length, reasoning

Avery funny Incident occurred not a
thousand miles from this city a s few day*
since, and one which is too good to be lost.
On ;of our celebrated composers has writ'
ten a very pretty song entitled ‘Kiss me.’ -
Avery pretty, blushing maid, having heard
of the song, and thinking she would get i l ,
with some olhers, stepped into a music
store to make,a purchase, , One of tbe
clerks a modest young roan, stepped up lo
wait on h -r. The young lady threw her
vail buck, saving;
“I want -■ Rook me to Sleep-’”
The clerk got the song aud put U before
■her.
.‘•Now,’’ said the y. r.ug lady, “/want the
‘Waud-ring Ruiugee.’ ”
“Yes, ma'am,” said th-.- clerk, bowing,
and in a few, ip.nulcs he produced the 'Re.
fugee.’
“Now, ‘Kiss Me,’ ” said tb« young Indy,
of course meaning the song above mention
ed.
The poor clerk’s eyes popped Grc almost,
as he looked at the young lady iu utter as*
tonishment, for he was nut aware of the
feet that a Song by that name had bce.i
written.
“Wh—what did yon say, Miss ?”
“A'm Mt I” she said.
“I can’t do it- I never kissed a young la
dy in my lift),'” said the clerk.
And about that time a veil dropped, 8
young lady left in a hurry, clerk felt sick,
aud dealer lost the sale of soxe music.—

HOPE.
Hope it the chiU of Ihe mortiinp,
It attends the bright spirits of tho
fairy world, and gazes with an
eagle’s eye upon the glorious suit
as he describes his mighty orbit.—■
It spreads a halo of heavenly bap-,
piness over earth’B benighted taec,
kindling all nature into a glow ol
love,
. Hope suits itself to every condi*
tion of man. It attends the tiavcK
er on the car of time, brushing
away his dark misfortunes, and in
a tone far sweeter than the syren’s
voice, bids him onto see'o9 of lu>
ture glory. How often it happen
that, just as all our bright anticipa
tions seem about o be realized,
and tho day-star oi our happiness
seems to have reached its zenith,
while the world appears spread out
before us in ulLits Eden brightness
and wo reach forth our hand to
grasp the proffered bliss, that just
then some relentless power, with
one wanton stroke, dashes ail from
our view. How dark, indeed, does
the world then ficem, as we go tot
tering down declivity of black de'
spair, while nothing is hoard but
die mournlnl echo, lost ! lost ! But
then, far brighter than any of tho
myriad worlds that bedeck the
midnight sky, appears the star of
Hope, and with its ever helping
hand raises us from our pinking
condition, and points us to a bright
er future.
While tho hope that illumines the'
world has such an influence over
the mind of man, how much sweet
er must be the Christian h«pe.—
We arc often tempo.-.t-tossed on
our passage home, Troops of temp
tation assail us on every hand, and
we seem almost readv to mabo ship
wreck of our taitb. But just then
--fame beams upon m- And bids us
tr, sncTMM tho Ww®* HFH
shall safely moor our bark on tbc
shores of the land celestial, and
clasp in love's warm ernbraco the
dear ones that await onr coming.
