The muffled drum’s sad roll has beat Tlie soldier’s last tattoo; No more on Life's parade ahull meet The brave and daring few; On Fame’s eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn round, The bivouac of tlie dead. No answer to the foe’s advance Now swells upon the wind; No troubled thought at midnight haunts, Os loved ones left behind; No vision of Ute morrow's strife Tlie warrior's dream alarms— Their shivered swords arc red with rust, Their plumed heads lire bowed, Their haughty banner, truiiel in dust, Is now their martial shroud; And plenteous funeral team have washed Tlie red stains from each brow. And their proud forms, in battle gashed, Are free from anguisli now. The neighing steed, the flashing blade, Tlie trumpet's stirring blast, . The charge, the dreadful cannonade, Tlie din and shout, arc past; Not war's wild note, nor glory’s peal, Shull fill with fierce delight Those breasts that nevermore shall feel The rapture of the light. Like tlie dread Northern hurricane, That sweeps the broad plateau, Flushed with the triumph yet to gain, Came down the serried foe; Our heroes fell tlie shock, and leapt To meet them on tlie plain; And long the pitying sky hath wept Above the gallant slain. 8 >ns of the consecrated ground, Ye must not slumber tlicre, Where stranger steps and tongues resound Upon the heedless air; Your own proud land's heroic soul Shall be your fitter grave; She claims from war her richest spoil— The ashes of her brave. So ’nealh their parent turf they rest, Fur from the gory field ; Borne to a Spartan mother's breast, On many a bloody shield; Tin* sunshine of their native sky Smiles sadly on them here, And kindred hearts and eyes watch by The heroes’ sepulchre. Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead ! Dead as the blood ye give; No impious footsteps here shall tread The herbage of your grave; Nor shall your glory be forgot While Fame tier record keeps, Or Honor points the hallowed spot , Where valor proudly sleeps. I Your marble minstrel’s voiceless tone ! In deathless songs shall tell, I When many a vanquished age hath flown, The story how ye fell; Nor wreck, nor change, nor winter’s blight Nor Time’s remorseless doom, Shall dim one ray of holy light Tltat gilds your glorious tomb.

Her friend, who had become enthusiastic in the cause, urged her to go to the meeting, which Alice did, although with reluctance. Tlie house was crowded above and below. The preliminaries, usually' appertaining to such meetings, having been arranged, a brief opening address was made by one of the ministers. ; A reformed man then related his ex- j perienee with great effect. After lie j had finished, there was a pause of nearly a minute. At length a man who had been ly and moved to the front of tlie stage. A half suppressed exclamation es caped Alice, as her eyes caught the well-known features of her husband, while a quick thrill rati through her. Then her frame trembled in accord ance with iter fluttering heart. The | face of Mr. Delaney had greatly j changed since she had last looked upon it. Its calm, dignified elevation had been restored, but what a differ ence ! ‘Mr. President,” he began, in a lirokt-n voice, “although I had con sented at your urgent solicitation to ! add.'css this large assembly to-night. ’ yet I have felt so strong a reluctance i to do so that it has been with tlie utmost difficulty that 1 could drag myself forward. But I had passed j my word, and could not violate it. As to relating my experience, that j I do not think 1 can venture upon. | The past I dare not recall. Would to j Heaven that just ten years of my life were I dotted out." The speaker here paused a moment, already -much affected. Then re suming in a firmer voice, he said : “Rut something must he said of my own case, or I shall fail to make that j impression on your mind which I wish | to produce. Pictures of real life touch the heart with power, while abstract presenta tions of truth glitter coldly in the intel lectual regions of the mind, and then fade from the tlie perception like figures in a diorauta. Your speaker once stood among tlie first members of the bar in a neigh bt ring State. Nay, more than that— lie represented his county for three years in the Assembly of the com monwealth, and more "than that still, occupied a seat in Congress lor two congressional periods.” At this point t ie stillness of death pervaded the crowded assembly. *• And yet more than that, ” lie contin ued, his voice sinking in a low, thrill ing tone, “ lie had it tenderly loved wife and two sweet children. But all those honors—all those blessings have departed from him,” he continued, Ins voice growing louder and deejwjr in his efforts to control himself. “He was unworthy to retain them!” His constituents threw him off lie cause he had debased himself and disgraced them—and worse than all— she who Imd loved hint devotedly, who had borne him two dear babes, was forced to abandon him, and seek an asylum in her father’s house. And why? Could 1 become so changed in a few years ? \V hat power was there to abase me that my fellow ! beings spurned and even the wife of my bosom turned heart-stricken from me? Alas! my friends, it was a demon. A Ciree, changing the human into the bestial. But for this, 1 were an honorable and useful representative in Coifgrcss, pursuing after my coun try’s good, and blest in the home cir cle with wife and children. But I have not told you all. After my wife separated from me, 1 sank rapidly. A state of sobriety brought too many terrible thoughts; I therefore drank more freely, and was rarely if ever from under the be wildering effects of intoxication. I remained in the same village for some years, but never once saw Iter during that time—nor even a glimpse of my children. At last I became so aban doned in my life, that my wife, urged on by her friends, filed an application for a divorce, and as a cause could be I easily shown why it should lie granted, a separation was legally declared. To complete my disgrace, at the next Congressional canvass I was left off the ticket, as unfit to represent tlie district. 1 left tlie county and State where I had lived from my boyhood up. Three years have passed since then. For two years of tlie period, I aban doned myself to the fearful appetite I 1 had acquired. Then 1 heard of tlie Temperance movement. At first I l sneered, then wondered, hesitated, i and finally threw myself ujioii the 1 great wave that was sweeping onward, in the hope of being carried by it far out of the reach of danger; anil I did not hope with vain ho|>c. It did for me all and more than I could have ; deemed possible. It set tne at once upon my feet—once more made a man of me. A year of sobriety, earnest devo tion to my profession, and fervent prayer to Him who alone gives strength in every good resolution. Ims restored to tne much that had iiceu lost; but not all—not the richest trenstire that I proved myself un worthy to retain ; not my wife and children. Ah! between myself and these, the la* v has laid its stern, im passable interdiction. I have no 1 longer a wife; no longer children, though my heurt goes out towards those dearly beloved ones with the tendorest yearnings. Pictures of our early days of wedded love are over lingering in my imagination. I dream of the dear fireside circle; 1 see ever before me the once placid face of ray Alice, as her eye looked into my own with confidence. I feel her arms twine around my neck, the music of her voice is ever sounding in tny car.” Here the speaker's emotion over eauujhmi. iiis uttorauce became WriPn attrl head and trembling limbs. Tlie dense mass of people were hushed into an oppressive stillness, that was broken here and there by half stifled sobs. At this moment there was a move ment in the crowd. A single female figure, before whom every one n|>- peared instinctively to give way, was seen passing up tlie aisle. Tuis was not observed by Delaney until she had come nearly in front of the platform on which he stood. The movement caught his ear, and lifting his eyes, they instantly fell on Alice; for it was she who was pressing forward— he bent towards her with sudden up lifted hands and eager eyes, and stood like a statue until she hail gained the stand and advanced quietly by his side. For a moment they stood tints, tlie whole audience thrilled with tlie scene, were upon their feet and bending forward. Then Delaney opened his aru s, and Alice threw herself upon his bosom with a quick and wild gesture. Thus for the space of a minute they stood, every one. by a singular intuition, understanding the scene. One of the ministers then came forward and gently separated them. “No, no,” said Delaney, “you must not—you cannot take her away from me.” “ Heaven forbid that I should do tint,” replied the minister. “By your confession she is not vour wife.” “ No, she is not,” replied Delaney mourn full v. “ But site is ready to renew her vows again,” Alice said, smiling through her tears, that now rained over her face. Before that assembly, all stauding, and with few dry eyes, was said in a I broken voice, the marriage ceremony 1 that gave Delaney and Alice to each other. As tlie minister, on aged man, with thin, white locks, finished the j rite, he laid his hands upon the heads ! of the two he joined in holy bonds, and lifting up his aged eyes, that streamed with drops of gladness, he said, in a solemn voice: “What God lias joined together, let not Bum put asunder.” “Amen!” was cried by tlie whole assembly, as with a single voice.

Mr. Editor:—Last Saturday morn ing, I was the witness of such a scene as I pray God I tnay never see again. 1 beheld a combat between a young man and a rattle-snake, in which the former was bitten, ami died iu ten minutes thereafter. The particulars of the terrible affair, arc as follows: On Friday last, a young man named Graynor, asked me to spend the night with him nnd go 'coon hun ting the next morning, to which re quest I readily assented. We started out about 3 o'clock, A. M., and near daylight the dogs opened on trail in the swanULof Bear Creek. Just after informed us that the game had taken a tree. We proceeded to make our way through tiic hogs and tangled brush an 1 vines in the direction of the dogs, until we came to a small space of firm ground, which was covered with a low growth of oak bushes. Here we halted a moment to listen for tlie dogs. We had barely paused, when we wc« startled by a loud, strange, rat tling sound issqing from beneath a low, thick hush, within a few feet of us. Though I had never heard that peculiar noise before, I knew instinct ively that it was a rattle-snake, and I sprang back in terror, remarking, “Graynor, let's leave here.” “ What, 8- said he, “are you afraid ?” “ Yes,” said I, “ I am afraid.” “ Well, S ,” lie coolly re marked. “ I am going to kill the snake;) it would he a pity to leave such a fine fellow here. So, here goes.” While Graynor was speaking, 1 caught a glimpse of the snake, which, as nearly as I could judge, appeared to he about eight feet in length, and three inches in diameter in his larger part. He was lying coiled up in per fect circles, with his head drawn back in a terribly graceful curve, his small black eyes sparkling, his slender forked tongue darting swiftly back and forth, and his brown neck swollen with fatal wrath, whi[e ever and anon lie twirled tlie warning rattles iu the air, with a lmrsh, blood-curdling sound. “For God’s sake, let’s go,” said 1, shuddering at the terrible sight. “ Don’t get scared,” said G.: “just climb a tree, and he won’t bite you. It ain't every day that a fellow meets with such a fine, large snake as this, and it wouldn't do to lose him.” He had picked up a small stick about a yard long, ami while speaking was drawing back the bushes from above the snake so as to get a sight of him. lie threw his foot around over the hushes, and tramped them down it; such a manner that the mon ster was fairly exposed to view; but just ns lie did so, and before ho had time to strike, the snake made a sud den spring at him, and 1 turned away my face in horror. The next instant, Graynor exclaimed, “ I’ve got him, by George!” I turned to look, and with his right hand he was grasping tlie snake by the neck iu such a manner that lie could not bite, while the monster was gnashing his tcetli most furiously and twisting and writhing in huge folds around G.’s arms. All of a sudden, in some unaccountable manner, tlie snake freed his head, and quick as lightning plunged his deadly fangs into G.’s right cheek; when, dropping on the ground, lie glided a few paces nnd again coiled himself up, keeping his head erect, and ringing his fearful rattles. O. tushed deathly pale, paused a moment, mid then with his little stick advanced towards tlie snake. As lie did so, the snake made a spring at him, lint G. struck him with the stick and knocked him back. A second time tlie snake sprung at him; and he again knocked him off with the stick ; but before he co',i|«l strike a third blow, the f-vnakc had made another spring and ’inflicted another wound in G.’s This time G. again managed to seize the monster by the neck: an( l 5 dropping his stick, lie ■•drew forth his pocket knife with one hr^ n opened it with his teeth, and \hen deliberately cut off the snake’s I JC:u l—(flood spurted from the trunk ( a ,„i still grasping the snake >|,ose huge folds flapped and writl jL> d, around him, turned towards nv e, staggered and fell. 1 rushed up to him nnd asked, I “ What in the name of God can I do for you ?” “ Nothing,” said lie calmly, “ I’m dying. Tell them good—” and his features became frightfully contorted, his eyes rolled over as if starting from "their sockets, and his black, swollen tongue protruded from his mouth. Then be fixed his red, wild, staring eyes upon tne, anti heaved , a deep, piercing groan; a shiver passed over his frame, and then all was still. I was alone with tlie dead. I Marking the place as well as could, I hastened to a house we b at j I passed on the road, some half m ji o I distant from the fatal tragedy. Run . NO. 30. ners were sent through the neighbor hood, ami in tiie course of two hours, some twenty of the neighbors had gathered. We proceeded to the place which 1 found no difficulty in point ing out. . >it , Good heavens! what a sight met our view. The face and body had turned tq a deep purple, and were swollen to three times the natural size, presenting the most horrible appear ance I had ever witnessed. The snake lay where he had been thrown, and was still writhing. A litter of houghs was hastily con structed, and with heavy hearts we took our way to the residence of his parents. I will not attempt to de scribe the heartrending scene, when they saw the body. Grief like theirs cannot be portrayed. This was my first encounter with a ratfre-stmfcc. ands pray God It may be my last. L. A. S. Clapton , Ala., 1870. ITT Read “ Barrett’s ” Circular. From the Louisville Commercial. A Kentucky T-nueriy. Last week there occurred in Bullit Cos., a strange atlair, which is as yet unsolved in it particulars, hut which was one of those very peculiar trans actions which seem to have no motive. A widow lady, with a daughter some eighteen years of age, lived near Mt. Washington. They were without male protectors, and lived quietly and securely. One day the old lady re ceived five thousand dollars in pay ment of an old account, nnd locked it up in her trunk. The night following was dark and gloomy, aud one that would cause people naturally to bar and lock doors and windows, and cause one to hesitate to open them to a stranger. Toward night an oles, lient-up, decrepit man catne to the door, and on its being opened asked for shelter for tlie nighs. The told him she was alone, with no men folks about the house, and she dis liked to take a stranger under her roof. The old man said he was a stranger, poor, decrepit and destitute, and only asked for shelter from the approach ing night. The lady acceded to his request, and iu due time he was shown to his room up stairs. The night grew darker outside, and tlie widow and her daughter were preparing to retire, when a heavy knock came upon the door, and voices of men outside were heard demanding admittance, in threatening tones. Terrified, know ing the danger of possessing such a large sum of money, the widow con cluded that tlie parties outside were confederates of the man to whom she had given shelter. Acting upon this suspicion, with trembling limits, she ran up stairs and locked the door of the suspicious stranger. Returning down stairs, she heard the blows oi an axe on t lie door, and as she reached the foot of the stairs encountered the man she supposed she Imd locked safely in his room. No longer de crepit, Lent aud feeble, the strangei stood upright and assumed stalwart proportions. Tlie gray hair, the trembling voice had gone, and instead was a man of powerful and determined mien. , . Believing that all was lost, the. widow exclaimed, “ Yon know what I’ve got: I’ll give it up!” The stranger, instead of acceding to the terrified woman’s oiler, replied: “Don’t annoy me; go to your room and I’ll protect you.” He held in his hands a rifle lie had taken from the rack, and ns the blows of the as sailants’ axe fell fast upon the door, pushed the widow into her room Th ■ door gave way, and tlie first man that entered was shot by the stranger, who grasped the falling body and, pulled it inside the door. He then, pulled the door wide open and fired again, killing another of the assail ants. ’1 ho party turned to fly, xntf another «f their number received a shut from tlie valiant stranger. The attacking party having fled, tlie door was secured, and the af frighted inmates took occasion to et niuinc tlie features of tlie dead robber, who proved to l>c the son-in-law and neighbor of the widow. In the morning another man was found leaning over the fence, with his arm thrown over the rails, dead. Mortally wounded, his failing strength had carried him to the fence, where in supporting himself he had died The stranger gave himself up, to a magistrate, who examined tuto tne ease, the stranger refusing to give either Itiß name, place of residence, or the nature of his business. The mag istrate ordered l»*e discharge, and the mysterious stranger departed.. h° lie was, why he assumed the disguise he did on that night, what was the nature of his business, or wbitbax ha went, is a m v , btery not yet explamea, and comment would be superfluous. «T " flarrcUV b the buassboM word. h* s stomach. . - Barnett’s "Kegsnt Hair Restora tive. jy Base bail is ag**u coming la vo * rT ” 1 iu the cities
