Jackson. The circumstances which occasioned the poem were those : Gen. Jackson’s troops, after a long and weary inarch, were so much fatigued that when a halt was ordered almost every m.n was a sleep. The noble old Hero guarded the camp alone that night: 'Twas in the dying of the day, The darkness grew so still, The drowsy pipe of evening birds Was hushed upen the hill. Athwart tire shadows of the vale Slumbered the men of might, As one lone sentry paced his round To guard the camp that night. A grave and solemn man was he, >7ith deep and sombre brow, The dreadful eyes seemed hoarding up Some unaccomplished vow, His wistful glance peered o’er the plpin Beneath the starry light, As with the murmured name of God He watched the camp that night. The future opened unto him Its grand and awful scroll: Manassas and the valley march, Came heaveiug o’er his soul. Richmond and Sharpsburg thundered by, With that tremendous fight Whic v gave him to the angel hosts Who watched the camp that night. J We mourn for him who died for us' With one resistless moan. While up the Valley of the Loud, He marches to the throne, He kept the faith of men and saints, Sublime, and pure, and bright; He sleeps, and all is well with him IVho watched the camp that nigiit. Brothers, the midnight of the cause Is sltrouded in our fate ; Tl. Cf.vLu Jiolln'a. 111) soil With fire, and lust, and hate ; Be strong, be valiant, be assured, Strike home for Heaven and right ! The soul of Jackson stilks abroad And guards the camp to-night! QUEEIt JEPITAPIIS. We have taken an interest in the collection of queer epitaphs. Here is a mite of the result of our labors : In a churchyard near Hartford Con necticut, is the following: Here lies two babies as dead as nits, He Lord lie kilt dem mit his ague (its. When dey was t.oo good to live mit iue, He took dem up to live mit He, so lis did. On a tombstone erected over th# body of a young lady in Dorchester, Massachusetts, is the following : On the 21st of March, Ood’s angels made a earch, Around the door they stood ; They took a maid, It is said, And cut her down like wood. Near San Diego, California, a tomb stone inscription thus reads: This yere is sakrid to the unynory of William Henry Skaraken, who came to his death by being shot by a Colt’s re volver—one old kind, brass mountid, and of such is the kiudom of heavin. The following comes from Ohio : Under this sod And under these tieas Lieth the bod y of Sohmion Peaso, He’s not in this hole, Cut only his pod ; Re shelled out his soul And went up tohis God. An inscription on a tombstone in East Tennessee concludes thus ; She lived a wife of virtue au<J died of the oholera morbus, caused by eat ing groen fruit, in the hope of a blessed immortality, at the early ago of 21 year 7 months and 1G days. Reader, go thou and do likewise. The following, which is suggestive to coffee drinkers, is from a touibstouo in Connecticut 1 Here lies, cut down like unripe fruit, The wife of Deacon Amos Shut©, She died of drinking too much coffee. .Anny Dominy eighteen forty. A tombstone ia Texas has the follow ing inscription : lie remained to the last a decided friend and supporter to the Democratic principles and measure. Blessed arc tho dead who die in the Lord. The following is from a cemetery in Maine, nud was erected by the widow : Sacred Ho the memory of James H. R—m, who died August G, 1800. His widow, who mourns as one who can be comforted, aged 24 and possessing every qualification for a good wife, lives at——street, in this village. Here is a good business like epitaph, more than a match for the cool calcula tion pf the “widow who can be com forted.” Here lies Jane Smith, wife of Thom as Smith, marble cutter. This monu ment was erected by her husband as a tribute to her memory and a specimen of his work. Monuments of the same style $250. From a “Book on Epitaphs, Quaint, Curious and Elegani,” recently publish ed in England, the following is selec ted : The necessity for rhymo is well illus trated by the followiog touching epi taph : Under this stone, aged threescore & ten, Lies the remainsif William Wood Hen. N. B.—for Hen red Cock. Cock wouldn’t come in a rhymo. Epitaph : Here lies John Bunn, Who was killed by a gun, Ilis name wasu’t Bunn, but his real name was Wood, But Wood wouldn’t rhyme with gun, and so I thought Bunn would. Another: This little hero that lies here Was conquered by the diarrhoer. . a iJiji .Nr**raarkat lies buried the two wives of Tom Sex ton. Ou tho tombstone of one is the following : Here lies tlie body of Sarah Sexton — She was a wife and never vexed one. 'I can’t say so much for the one ou the next stone. ,In Westminster Abbey, on Sauuel Foote, the comedian : Here lies one Foote, whose death may thous ands save, For doath has new one foot within the grave. Here is a curious specimen, found in the Old G ray Friars, Edinburg : Here snug in grave my wife doth lie; Now she is at rest and so am I. The following is a beautiful instance of conjugal affection. Here lies ray dear wife, a sad slattern and shrew; If I said I regretted her, I should lie too. ()n a lawyer, in a churchyard in Norfolk-: v ** UoDWoiks a wondow now and then, He, though a lawyer, was an honest man. In,£>t. Michael’s churchyard Gonvon try, on a wife : • She was— • ffvH. - But words are wanting To say what • Look what a wife should be, And she was that. Ou a talkative old maid (1750.) Beneath this silent itone is laid A noisy antiquated maid, Who from her cradle talk'd till death, And never before was out of breath. Another Alleged Bov Murderer. —The Shepardstown (West ’Virginia) Register says, that Thomas Devonshire, a colored boy, nino years of age, was shot and killed by Ileury Moore, an. other colored boy ten years of age, at the residence of Mr. John Sheppard, near that place, on the 31st of last month. The hoys were playing in a room, when suddenly the report of a gun was heard, an£ the mother of De vonshire hurried to the room and found her son lying upon the floor shot through the breasts, who expired in a few moments. The gun fired belonged to Mr. Sheppard, and had been standing in the corner of the room loaded.— Moore concealed himself for several days, but came out to obtain food, and was arrested, .

We know that boy. We were never in Concord, but we know him. We lived next door to that boy when we were a boy, and it is not so long ago but that we remember him distinctly. He always went to bed at eight o’clock, and had a slight cough. He brushed his hair back of his ears, and carried a store handkerchief, and when ho played marbles it was to win. fie always got homo from school before we did, and employed the interval in detailing to his mother the “bolting” that boy ne~t door was getting. And indeed we were getting it, but there was no special in terest in it for other folks. He was the model boy, the boy our parents used to point to, and speak of, in ming led admiration and regret, while unfit tine us for> anything harder than a poul tice, He never ran away from school, nor stole money, but ho us#d to throw inud on old people when they wern’t looking, and unselfishly throw the cred it on us. And then seo that boy come around into our yard with jam on his bread. That was the last feather —that wA the climax to all the sorrows our young hearts knew. We could have willingly forgiven everything else, but that jam upsets us. It went right down into our heart of hearts, and it rankles there yet. It sent us into the house bawling for jam, and getting it, but not on our bread We rememeber that with ghastly distinctness. —Danbury Newt. The “India-rubber bustle” is again heard from. This time it was a Brook lyn young lady who was thrown from her carriage owning down the hill from Prospect Park. She made jni net y‘ soven and a half bounces in all, and was fin ally rescued, by a book and ladder com pany, from the top of a telegraph pole, where she had stuck in attempting to complete the ninety-eighth bounce.

A New Way op Raising the Wind. —A Detroit woman called upon a fam ily in .that city the other day, and in troducing herself began a conversation. Suddenly she was taken dreadfully ill. She said that she had no inonoy and could iot go to the hospital, and they would have to keep her through a run of fover. They gave her $3 to crawl out and try to reach the hospital; after which she recovered with astonishing rapidity and. bought auew blue sash. Electricity an Antidote fob Pois on.— On Wednesday, a son of Robert Montgomery, two years of age, residing at No. 31 Goodyear street, drauk * quantity of laudanum, which had been left carelessly in his way. He soon fell into a Btupor, which was followed by convulsions. Dr. Murry was sent for, who called to his aid Drs. Caldwell and Ogie. Electricity was applied for the purpose of rousing the child from his stupor, as no medicine could be admin istered. The eleotrio current was tinued for about two hours, when the sinking energies of the child began to return, and by Thursday morning he was out of danger.— Balt. American. A Brother’s and Sister’s Quarrel . —A Princeton (Kan.) correspondent of the St. Paul Press, under date of the 37th ult., writes : This community was much shocked this morning upon hear ing of a sad affair which occured last evening (May 26th). in the family of a respected citizen named Joseph H. Townsend. It seems that one of his boys, named Joseph, some thirteen yoars of age, returned home from a neighbor’s house, and full of misohief, while seated by the stove amused him self by throwing kernels of corn at fiis eldest sister, Mabel, a girl of some six teen years of age, who was sitting at work. Somowhat augry after, awhile, the girl threw a large pair of shears at her brother, which unfortunately struck him point foremost full in the left breast, penetrating his thin clothing and bis breast and heart, causing almost instant death. Bekcukr’s Last New Departure.— Henry Ward Beecher has added another mountain to bis already superabundant notoriety by a recent sermon in which be preached Universalism substanti ally and took the ground that the scrip tures do not afford support for the be lief that after this lifo the soul takes an unconscious vacation, awaiting a final ingathering of all in the spirtual sphere; and that there was no man who had the slightest partical of good in him but who might find a standing place in Heaven, though by a sort of a specific gravity the more or less good would find different places in that future world. He said : “I don’t believe a soul is goj ing to be thrust away by that hand that was pierced. I don’t believe that love whichjshown in Christ is going to throw away one soul with a germ of good in it. And so I hope—l hope. ■ ♦ •■ ♦ A singular marriage was recently made by a fascinating lady school teach er in a Kentucky country town, First she rejected him; but he behaved with, so much dignity under the mortification of her refusal, neithor getting drunk nor hating her, and he manifested so many signs of affection, that she relent ed and wrote him a note informing him that she had reconsidered. The young man, all aglow with happiness, hastened to her side and insisted on immediate marriage. But here an unlooked-for obstacle intervened. Her schpol term was but half out, and the stony-hearted directors refused to cancel her engage ment except at the expenso of forfeit ure of the half term. The lover was importunate. Finally the lady consent ed to. compromise. She bounded into the young man’s buggy and was driven to Danville, where the knot was hastily tied. Then she went back to bei school and the groom went about his business with the understanding that he was not to sec her, or “pester” he r in any way, until next July, when her term will b* finished, ,
