POETRY. WEARY OF THE NI«HT. BY THOMAS BUCHANAN EF.ID. The shadow of the midnight hours Falls like a mantle round my form; And all the stars, like autumn flowers, Are banished by the whirling storm; The demon clouds throughout the sky Are dancing in their strange delight. While winds unwearied play—but I Am weary of the night. Then rise, sweet maiden mine, arise, • And dawn upon me with thine eyes. The linden, like a lever, stands, And taps against thy window pane; The willow, with its slender bauds, I- harping on (he silver rain. I’ve watched tby gleaming taper die, And hope departed with the light; The winds unwearied play—but I 1 Am weary of the night. Then rise, swltet maiden iniue, arise, And dawn upon me with thine eyes. The gentle morning coin’s apace, And. smiling, bids the night depart; Rise, maiden, with tby Orient face. And smile ’he shadow from nty heart’ j The clouds of night affrighted fly. Yet darkness seals my longing sight; AH naturi gladly sings—while I ■ Am weary of the night. Then rise, sweet maiden mine, arise, And dawn upon me wiih tUiuu eyes. A True Story of tlio Past. i LaFayette Springs, Miss., | March 18, 1868. j It was in the dark and bloody day* of Murrel; when his lines extended from the State of Georgia to Texas—though he kept up constant communication with his. clan. In those days it was fatal for any traveler iq be found in bis trail, especially west op Jibe Mississippi River. The incident that I am about to relate, was related to me the Other day, by a friend wjio lived in the 'icrntry tv. Q»torr«d. A traveler to the, west «TOr crossing Mississinni river JW* Vicksburg. Mississippi Ti tm . trail. After traveling ali day iu the dense wilderness he began (o have fears that he was on the Murrel trail, but concluded that he would puih forward, hoping he wonic come to I some settlement Night cam on: his fears increased At length lie came in sight of! a light- he diew near, and found it to be a J neat habitation, well fitted lip for entertain- j ing travelers. He called and was very kindly received by his host—so that all his ’ former fears were dissipated. Hi* horse cared for, himself refreshed by bountiful supper, he was easy fora short time; bui soon discovered signs that, he did not like Strangers kept coming in and going out; he discovered them in private consultation which he could not ufiderstand, and which served to increase his fears that he was j among‘'the Clan.” Finally bedtime came on; he was conducted to a small office jn the yard; the office wasl neatly furnished, with a good bed, wash stand, and other equipments for a bed-room. He was told by his host that ‘when he retired to blow out the candle.” His host, when leaving the room closed t e door after him and locked it. He now fully saw his situation He felt as none can realize but those in his then situation. Hu took the caudle and examined ti e room carefully. He found that the chimney was sealed to preventes, cape No wihdovs to the room, and the door locked. He n'W fully realized bis situation; and on furrier examination un der the bed, lo! and behold ! —a dead man! Reader, can von realize it ? What could he do t What would you have done?" Well reader, I will tell you what he did: he put the dead man in the bed and covered him up, blew out the can* die, and got behind the door to await the entrance of the murderers. Finally vhey came, without lights, armed with clubs.- The door opens, they enter softly, make their way so the bed; the man slips out at the door behind them, and just as bo tui n tho corner of the office he hears them strike the dead man in the head, but he was then making all haste for his life. He left horse, bridle and saddle and all his equipage be hind. He made his way back to where he found friends to the cause„of humanity and justice, reported the facts, got assistance and went back and arrested the landlord, with others; which finally ended in the dis covery of the Murrel pi t. They also dis covered near that place a large grave yard, in a thicket, where the murderers had been burying their dead for years. , . The above narrative, says my informant, is true, as related to him by Major W light an old citizen of Arkansas. It is fuitber elated that many of those bloody murder ers were caught and hanged till finally ’J“- Clau was broken up and scattered to the four winds. ' V ' w The Close ol'lhe Kevolii-| * tiou One Day with John C, Breckinridge. ***** We had remained the night be fore at the house of a well recom mended friend. The immediate neighbors flocked in to see the guests, little dreaming who was the principle one. As supposed officers from Lee’s army, they were thought worthy of attention. I could see, however, that the older and more thoughtful of the people —especially the female portion believed it was “some big man,’’ no ordinary General. Occasional ly i could catch their glances steal jiog from Breckinridge to a photo graph of President Davis hanging [on the parlor wall, as if to com pare the likeness. One old lady insisted upon me giving a minute description of the person of each member of the Cabinet, and while I gave it, her eye was riveted up jon Gen- B. all the while. It is | well to say that, s.ave thc-host and |his wife, of the strangers present, juone knew the name of the distin guished guest. I had known Breckinridge for years, as a Mem ber of Congress, and while he was Vice-President of the United States had beeu in his company often, but never seen him appear to the ad vantage he did this nigLt. He was dressed in a magnificent suit of black broadcloth, a present he bad received from Europe, just be-, fore the evacuation of Richmond ; was clean shaved and in a genial flow of spirits, which captivated every one. His son, young Cabell Breckinridge, one of the finest looking young men I ever saw second his father in entertaining. 7 _ I t \ya- Mr. Breckinridge's in dention, I jild/reri, ’O cruna t/m <*v inulgee river at, or about, Efaw kinsvi’le. When in ecent oi the river, our guide met a sturdy old planter, who, after some whi.-per ing, caused Mr. B to be called as aide, and in a lew moments we were in a gallop. The party con sisted of Mr. Breckinridge* his Adjutant General. Lieut. Col Wil son, tbe late Majrr Oscar Paw-*:: Cabell Breckiuridge, sou of the General, and aid-dc camp, the guido, a prominent citizen, myself and Sam, slave of the Geneial the devoted friend who accompanied him to exile. Os tho party, I alone was paroled. The guide led u& toward the bank of the river, where bo expected to flud - a bat teau,’ This bro ,ght us into the midst o? a thicket We reached the bank; but the boat was not there ! The guide said he would find it ; aud bid us be patient until his return. We unsaddled our horses and resigned ourselves to leisure. Sam spread Mr Breckin ridge’s blanket under a shady tree an cThe reclined reading ’Bulwer s Decline and Fall of Athens," a work put in his hand by a lady friend at Sparta, Georgia, as he passed through that delightful vil lage. What a subject to be read bv such a man, so circumstanced, aud at such a time ? It was near ly five hours before the guide re turned, and a few minutes after the ■batteau’ came floating down tbe river incharge of two young boy who had been fishing with it. This delaysaved the party from capture, for after the wo had gained the main road on the other side, we learned that a party of twenty five hundred calvary en route to Tallahassee, Florida, had been straggling along nearly the whole day and that a smaller force was behind, to increase the garrison at Hawkinsville. We swept between j t h e two ! While awaiting the re turn of the guide, the stuff an l my =clf occupied ourselves in wander ing up and down the Ocmulgee, then swollen by recent rains, whose murky and turbulent waters seemed, in their spiteful and 3wift flow, to bid defiance to us. and laughed at our hope& of passage.^ — It took some time to cross. Tha 1 bank on the other sido was quite , steep, and could only be reached | after much labor. sortunately, I Wilson and Dawson proved lo be IT. n. mm, Miller * 'Jt NO. 2. I good hands with the paddle, and | the passage was safely made. But ;it took many trips. First, thesad idles, blankets, &c., were taken over, and and then each horse was made to swim over, aided by one of us in the the boat. Finally all was across, but Mr. Breckinridge, and Wilson, PaWson and tnyeeP're turned for him. At the po-nt. e. crossing the river was fully th <• hundred yards wide. We foun him standing upon the bank as if awaiting us, but with his «ie gaziDg toward the West an • rp parently lost in meditation By this*tin>e the sun was sinking be hind the trees which skirted tho river on the side beyond him. Col Wilson called him three times be fore he seemed aware of Our pre sence. then wuh a motion of re-- cognition, and a gesture to pause, he broke out with Judge A. B. Meek'g beantful words ; Oh. come to the Sooth, beautiful one ’Tia the climn of th« heart, ’tis tho sbrme of the son; Where tbe sky ever shines wit a ; asalon ate glow. And flower? spread their treasures of crim sons and snow; Where the breeze, o’er bright waters, waft* incense along, And gay b rds ars glancing in beauty and song; Where Summer smiles ev -r o’er mount,in and-plain.

We remained almost spell-bound by the grandeur of the occasion, and not a word was spoken until alter we had crossed, when Breck inridge springing to his :>H' ted horse, called lor us to mount nou away.” M.
