Night Thoughts.
~ i oav is '. v.hy sink before the dim wet blast,
Vnd to the dusky bosom of the earth
p reHß thy young forms? The shadows will not last,
r,ut back to sunshine where they had their birth.
0 ;, v> on 1 why hide thy face in cloudy skies?
Art thou, too, sad and barred from happiness ?
pi is a tear-drop from those Argus-eyes
That 'gainst my* thirsty pareh and lips I press?
Perhaps ’twas shed in sadness by the flowers,
p, w gemhl and fragrant, that around me sleep—
(,r hast thou seen aught that in ivied bowers
Thv rival sun has done to make time weep ?
Ah, envious orb, the sunset leaves its ray,
And gilds with beauty every opening rose,
hut when thy radiant light shines o’er our way
I ik< purest gems each lovely floweret glows.
Oh, restless Spirit! that for Lethe’s waves
Art deeply sighing, while dim shadows fall
And longer grow on lonely mossy graves—
< Y:;wo thy complaint! and harken to the call
< >f one who ever bids our troubles cease—
pv.tr not the chastenings of llis mighty rod,
Know that “ beyond these voice there is peace,”
v; i trust the tender mercy of thy God.

column, suffer me to contribute a mite.
It was my privilege t 6 be a high
private in the rear rank of one of the
legimeuts] forming C tin’s division
which, with B k ge, was in front
of Murfreesboro’, and it was on the eve
o’“ihat Battle” that the following con
versation took place in my hearing, be
tween two well-beloved and heroic com
manders. Both of them were seated in
front of headquarters, discussing the
probable end or fate of the great “to-mor
row,” when the overflowing soul of B
—ge broke forth in deep feeling strains,
tiiusly :
“(.! 1, what if, when the morning’s
resplendent Lamp of Day emits its glo
rious and life-giving beams to the uni
verse, and light throws its rays upon the
'■•littering array of the two hostile armies,
and after the first great shock of these
two contending forces is over, and that
same great Luminary should shine upon
vise prostrate and inanimate body of
this General now enjoying your company
here, what, 1 ask you Oh 1, oh, what,
would become of Mrs. B e ?
Ch tr m, feeling deeply the sit
uation, so glowingly colored by his friend,
without a moment’s hesitation, and with
a tone of the greatest commiseration at
once spoke up : “Br k, invoice her
over to me.” K.
