There is.a certain portion of the war that will
never go into the regular histones, nor be em
bodied in romance or poetry, whiob is a very
real part of it, *nd will if preserved, convey to
succeeding generatioDsa better idea ofthe spirit
of the conflict than many dry reports or careful
narrative of events, and this part may hs called
the gossip, the fun the pathos ot rbe war. This
illustrates the character of the leaders, the hu
mor of the soldiers, the dev tion of women, the
bravery of men the pluck of our horoes, the ro
mance and hardships of the service.
The Valiant and Brave Hearted, the Pictures
que and Dramatic, the Witty sad Ma. selous,
the Tender and Pathetic, nnd the whole Panor
ama of the War are bore thrillingly portrayed
in a mss er'y manner, at once nietorical and ro
mantic, rendering it the most ample, unique,
brilliant and r eadablo book that the war has
called forth. . .
Amusement as well as instruction may be
found in every page as graphic detail, brilliant
wit and authentic history, are skillfu'y inter
woven in this work of literary art.

POETRY.
«ITE ME THE 01.0.
Give me the old. give me the old,
Let others choose the new;
Time ripens wine, nor sullies gold,
That gilds the tried and true.
I love the books on which are placed
The names I used to love,
Names lost to earth, but angel-traced
Upon the b;oks above.
Old hymns whose grand old melodies |
Thrill on the wondering air,
And upward to the listening skies
That trembling spirit bear.
Our modern songs are sweet, ’tissaid— f
Such songs may do for you, j
But sing around my dying bed
The songs my mother Knew.
It matters little to you now
What name this relic bea - s;
’Tis old, but wrinkles on my brow
Tell me of vanished years. ’
Its worth to me cannot be told,
I loved the giver so ;
Take thou the new, give me the old,
It tells of long ago.
It tells me of a va tisbed tone
I list to hear again
A song half sung, a work half .done,
A broken, sad refrain.
Jt tells me of a lonely hearth,
Os tender, haunting eyes;
It whispers lovingly of earth ,
But points me to the skies.
THE BEAUTIFEI. RIVER.
BY BENJ. F, TAYLOR.
Like a foundling in slumber, the Summer
day lay
On the crimsoning threshold of even,
And I thought that the glow through the
azure-arched way
There together we j«i uy me .«-»
stream;
We had nothing to do but to love and to
dream,
In the days that have gone on before.
These are not the same (lays, though they
bear the same name,
With the ones I shall welcome no more,
But. it may be that the angels are calling
them o’er,
For a Sabbath arid Summer forever.
When the year’s shall forget the December
they wore.
And the shroud shall be woven, no, nevoid
In a twilight like that, Jennie Juno for a
bride, *
Oh ! what more of the world could one tvisb
for beside,
As we gazed on the river unroll'd,
Till we heard, or we fancied its musioal
tide, *
When it flowed through the gateway of
gold.
"Jennie Jnne.’t then I said, "let us
no more
On the banks of the beautiful river;
Let the .boat bo unmoored, and be muffled
the oar,
And we’ll steal into Heaven together.
If the angel'on duty our coming descries,
You have nothing to do but throw off the
disguise
That you wore while you wandered with
me.
And the sentry shall say, ‘Welcome back to
the skies.
We have long been a-.waiting for thee,’ ”
Oh / how sweetly she spoke, 'ere she utter
ed a word,
With that blush, partly hers, partly
even’s.
And the tone, like tbc dream of a song we
once heard,
As she whispared, "That way is oot Hea
ven’s.
For the river that runs by the realm ol ths
blest
Has no song on its ripple, no ttar on its
breast—
Oh 1 that river is nothing like this,
For it glides on in shadow, beyond the
world’s West,
Till it breaks into beauty and bliss.”
I am lingering yet. but I linger alone,
On the banks of tiie beautiful river;
’ ris the twin of ihat dvy. but the wave
where it shone
Bears the willow tree’s shadow forever.

The Way to Spoil Girts.
If any parent wishes a rcceipc how to
spoil a daughter, it can be easily and read
ily given and can be proved by the experi
ence of hundreds to bo certain—efficacious
1. Be alwsys telling from her earliest
childhood, what a beautiful creature she is-
It is a capital way of inflating the vanity
of a little girl to bo constantly exclaiming,
••How pretty !” Children understand such
flattery even when in the nurse arms, and
the evil is done to the character in its ear
liest formation.
•2. Begin, as soon as she can toddle, to
dress her out in fashionable clothing and
rich dresses. Tot a hoop upon her at once
with all the artificial adorumentsof flounces
and leathers, and flowers and curls. Fond
ness for dress will thus become a prominent
characteristic, and will usurp the whole at
tention of the young mortal, and be a long
step towards spoiling her.
3. Let her visit so much that she finds no
happiness at home and therefore will not
be apt to stay there and learn tome duties.
It rs a capital thing for a spoiled daughter,
to sc6k nil her happiness in visiting, aud
change of place and associates. She will
thus grow as useless as modem fashionable
parents delight that thair daughters should
be. -* '•*-
4. Be careful that her education gives
her a smattering o f all tbc accomplishments)
without the slightest knowledge of the thing
really useful in lire. If her mind aud time
are occupied in modern accomplishment
there will be no thought ol the necessity
and virtue of being o! some real use to
somebody, pervading her heart, and she
will soon be leady as a spoiled daughter,
5. Asa consequence keep her in pro
found ignorance of all the useful arts ol
housoke >ping, impressing upon her mind
that it is vulgai to do anything (or your
self, or to learn bow anything is done iu
the house. A spoiled daughter should nev
er be taught the myateries of the kitebem
such things a lady always leaves to the ser
vants. It would be ' vulgar’’ for- Her to
know how to dress a salad o*’ make a pud

The Wile’s Influence.
The late Judge O'Neal, of South Carol!*
na. some years since, in ? letter to tho
Yorkville Enquirer, gave the following ins*
oident in the life of Judge Wm. Smith.—
A’e think this incident, or the substance of
it, was afterwards incorporated in the ven
erable judge’s interesting work—“ The
Bench and Bar of Soa’h Carolina. - ”
He had the rare blessing to win the love
of one of the purest; mildest and best of
women, whose character has ever been pre
sent to the writer, ne marrM Margaret
DutT. lu his worst days she never upbraid
ed him by words, look or gesture, but al
ways cost bite as if he was oue of the kinds
est and best of husbands, This course on
her part humbled him, and made him jveep
like a child. This sentence, It is hopedj
will be remembered, was the language of
Judge Smith to the friend already uamed,
and to those who knew the stern, unbend
ing public character of the Judge, it will
teach a lesson sos how much a patient woe
man’s love can accomplish. He was at
lssf i pforint and by an instance of her patient
love and devotion lie himself told it,
The cvemning before the return day of
the Court of Common Pleas for York Dis
tric, a client called with fifty notes to be
put in suit. Mr. Smith was not in his office
—he was on what is now fashionably term
•U a spree—then a frolic. Mrs. Smith re
ceived the notes and sat down in the office
to the work of issuing the writs and pro
cesses. She spent the night at work—Mr.
Smith in ‘riotous living.’ At daylight, on
his way home from his caronsats, he saw a
light in his office, and to bis great surprise
saw bis amiable wife, who had just eomple*
ted what ought to have been his work, with
her head on the table and a leep. His en
try awoke her. She told him what she had
done, and showed him her night’s work—
fifty writs o and processes. This bowed the
strong man, “he fell on his knees, implored
her pardon, and then and there faithfully
while he lived.” “This promise,” says my
friend, Col. Williams, ,- h# faithfully kept.’
and said the Judge told him, “from that
day everything I touched turned to gold.’
Ilis - entire success in life, says Col. Will
iams. he set down to his faithful observance
to this noble promise.
No better eulogy could be pronounced c a
Mrs. Smith than haj just "been given in tbe
words of her distinguished husband. Tbe
reformation of such a man as Wm. Smith ia
a chaplet of glory which Jfew women have
been permitted to wear. To tbe people of
South Carolina, nnd especially of York
District, cet taiuly no stronger argument in
fivor of temperance, total abstinence, need
not be given.
Ntones Rolled A way.
•The holly woWu of old, as thoy walked
t ) the grave of our'tord, were full of fears
about the stone at the door - They said
among themselves, “who of us shall roll
away iu« s.oue from the door ot the sepul
chre?’ But theif fears were neodlees.—
•When thev looked, they saw that the stone
was rolled away.’
What a striking emblem we have in this
simple narrative of the experience of many
Christians ! llow often bcl evers !*e op
pressed and cast down by anticipation qf
evils, and yet, in time need, find the thiug
thsy feared removed, and the stona rolled
away.’ A large propotion of a saint’s an
xieties arise from things wbich really n«v»
happen. We look forward to all (be possi
bilities of the journey towards H n aveo.—
We conjure up in mir imaginations all
kinds crosses and obstacles' We carry,
mentally, tomorrow's troubles, as well as
10-duys. Aud often, very often, we find at
the end that our doubts and alarms were
groundless, and that the thing we dreaded
most, hae never come to pass at all. Let uft
believe that in the path of duly we shall
never be entirely forsaken. Let us go for
ward boldly, and we shall often find that
the lion in the way is chained, ‘and the
seeming hedge of thorns is only a shadow.
