Sunset on Manassas Plains 1 Slow
Finks the night o’er earth’ * huge breast;
Breezes come laden full of i jental woe,
As the dying pray for dt -nth ami rest.
At morn the foe, with eau or haste,
With sword and banne rs streaming high,
Shouting, “Os death m> rebels taste,”
And so pollute the Sabbath with their cry.
Yes, the tyrants darr.* to invade
A land that Hero is’ feet have trod ;
But southern hearty in blood will wade,
And call on Lib erty and God !
Strong in the ri /ht our champions toil;
No doubts a: jd discord tear their hand ;
For home, the.fr Maker and their soil,
They lay tyeir bones on fair Virginia’s lard
♦
Methiuks I s:ee the form of one, *
“With s\v ord and arm uplifted high,
Fall by b‘is comrade, eie the battle’s tvon,
And li g,p the words, “Together w e will die.”
For hi j\ fond sisters mourn in vain ;
A l gutlier to avenge his deatli would try ;
A m ttier's heart is wrung with pain,
T hut he, the loved, should early die.
Tlje gen’rous heart, the noble soul,
“Which strove to battle for the right;
fame, and the conqueror’s goal,
Urged him, the thickest in the fight.
When months and years roll ’round,
Bright eyes, now young, are old and dim,
Manassas Plains be consecrated gr< und—
The Patriot’s crown will surely be lor him.

Up in the Indian Hills,
Os the Cutchee tribe, ’tis said,
That when a Chiettaiii dies,
They bind his wrist with thread;
Green, for the very brave,
But for the bravest, red.
One time, in Indian wars,
A <qtv>d < f 1 nglishnien,
Charged sixty Cutclieears
S > valiantly, that when
The fight was done, of ten, not one
Ever came back again!
Long after, when the w inds,
‘i heir skeletons had kissed,
A squad of Englishmen
Looked up their missing list,
And found them dead, with each a thread
Os scarlet on his wrist.
Should “North” require a sign,
In honor of her dead,
Who bravely stayed behind
When all the others fled,
We can mpply the proper dye,
And “throw her in the thread

THE WAY TO KEEP HIM.
BY MARY E. CLARKE.
“Out again to-night ?” said Mrs. Hays
fretfully, as Iter husband..rose from the tea
table and donned his great coat..
“Yes, I have an engagement with
Moore ; I shall he in early, have a light in
the library. Good night,” and, with a
careless nod, William Hays left the room.
“Always the way,” murmured Lizzie
Hays, sinking back upon a sofa, “out ev
cry night. 1 don’t believe he cares one bit
about me, now, and yet we’ve been mar
ried only two years. No man can have a
more orderly house, lam sure; and J nev
er go anywhere ; I am not a bit extrava
gant, and yet I don’t believe he loves me
any more, Oh ! dear ; why is it P I wasn’t
rich, he didn’t marry me for money, and he
must have loved me then—why does he I
treat me avith so much neglect ?” and with
° . j
her mind tilled with such queries, Lizzie:
Hays fell asleep upon the sofa.
Let me paint her picture as she lay there.
She was a blonde, with a small, graceful;
figure, and a very pretty face. The hair, i
which showed by its rich waves its natural
temlcmj’ to curl, was brushed smoothly
back, anyl gathered into a rich knot at the
back. “It was such a bother to curl it,” she
said; her cheek was pale, and the whole
! fact# wore a discontented expression. Her
dress was a neat chintz wrapper, but she
wore muther collar nor sleeves ; “What's
the. use of dressing up just for William ?”
Lizzie slept soundly for two hours, and
then awoke suddenly. She sat up, glanced
at the clock arid sighed drearily at the
prospect of the long interval, still to be
spent alone.before bed-time.
The library was just over the room in
which she sat, and down the furnace fine,
through the register, a voice came to the
young wife’s ears ; it washer husdaud’s.
“Well, Moore, what’s a man to do ? I
must have pleasure s--me where. Who
would have fancied that Lizzie Jarvis, so
pretty and sprightly, and loving, could
change to the fretful dowdy she now is?—
Who wants to stay at home to hear his
I wife whining all the evening about her
troublesome servants, and her headache,
and all sorts of bothers? JShe,s got the
knack of drawling whine so nafr, that ’pun
| my life, I don’t believe she can speak pleas
antly.”
Lizzie sat as if stunned. Was t Lis true?”
She looked in the glass. If not exactly
dowdy, her costume was certainly not suit
able for an evening, even if it were an ev
ening at. home, with only William to ad
mire. She rose, and softly went to her
own room with bitter, sorrowful thoughts,
and a firm resolution to win back her hus
! band’u heart, and then, his love regained,
to keep it.
The next morning, William came into
the break fast-room, with his usual careless
manner, but a bright smile came on his
lips as he saw Lizzie. A neat chintz, with
neat collar and sleeves of snowy muslin,
and a wealth of soft, full curls, had really
metamorphosed her ; while the blush her
husband’s admiring glance called upon her
cheek did not detract from her beauty.—
At first, Willialh thought there must be a
guest, but glancing around lie found they
were alone.
“Come, William, your coffee will be
stone cold,” said Lizzie, in a cheery, pleas
ant voice.
“It must cool till you sweeten tny break
fast with a kiss,” said her husband, cross
ing the room to her side ; and Lizzie’s
heart bounded, as she recognized the old
lover’s tones and manners.
Not one fretful speech, not one com
plaint, foil upon William’s eir through
the meal. The newspaper, his usual so
lace at that hour, lay untouched, as Liz
zie chatted gaily on every pleasant sub
ject could think of, warming by bis
gratifbd interest and cordial manners.
“You will be home to dinner?” she
said, as he went out.
“Can’t to-day, Lzzie, I have business
out of town, but I’ll be home early to tea.
Have something substantial, for I don’t
expect to dine. Good-bye,” and the smil
ing look, warm kiss, and lively whistle,
were a marked contrast to bis lunging,
careless gait the previous evening.
“I am in the right path,” said Lizzie, in
a low whisper. Ob! what a fool 1 have
been for two years ! A ‘fretful dowdy !’ —
William, you shall never say (hat again.”
Lizzie loved her husband with real wife
ly devotion, and hei lip would quiver as
she thought of bis confidence to bis friend
Moore; bn* like a brave little woman she
stifled h ick the bitter feeling, and tripped
off to perfect her plans. The grand piano,
silent for months, was opened, and the
linen covers taken irotn the furniture, Liz
zie thinking “He shan’t find any parlors
more attractive than his own, 1 am deter
mined.”
Tea time came, and William came with
it. A little figure, in a tasty, bright, silk
dress, smooth curls, and oh! such a lovely
blush and smile, stood ready o welcome
William as he came iD ; and tea time pas- t
fed as tl e morning’s meal haddo'ne.
After tea, there was no movement, as
usual, towards the hat-rack. William
, stood up beside the table, lingering, chat
ting, till Lizzie also rose. She led him to
the light, warm parlors, in their pretty
glow of tasteful arrangement, and drew
him beside her on the sofa. He felt as if
he was courting her over again, as he
watched her fingers busy with some fancy
needlework, and listened to the cheerful
voice he had loved so dearly two years
before.
“What are you making, Lizzie ?”
“A pair of slippers. Don't yotl fe
member how much you admired the pair
I worked for you, oh! ever so long ago ?”
“I remember ; black velvet with flow*
ers on them. 1 used to put my feet on
the fender, and dream of blue eyes ami
bright curls, and wish lime would mote
faster to the day when I could bring my
bonnie wee wife home, to make music in
my house.
Lizzie’s face saddened for a moment, as
she thought of the last two years, and.how
little music she had made for this loving
heart, gradually weaning it from its alle„
giance ; then she said :
“I wonder if you love music as much as
you did then ?”
“Os course I do. I often drop in at
Miss Smith’s for nothing else than to hear
the music.”
“I can play and sing better than Miss
Smith,” said Lizzie, half pouting.
“But you always say you arc out of
practice when I ask you.”
“I had the piano tuned this morning.—*
Now, open it, and we will see how it
sounds/’
William obeyed joyfully, and, tossing
aside her sewing, Lizzie took the piano
stool. She had a very sweet voice, not
powerful, but most musical, and was a
very fair performer on the piano.
“Ballads, Lizzie ?”
“Oh! yes, I know you dislike opera mu
sic in a parlor.”
One song after another, with an over
ture, or lively instrumental piece, occasion
ally between them, filled up another hour
pleasantly.
The clock struck eleven !
“Eleven! I thought it was about nine.—
I ought to apologize, Lizzie, as I used to
do, for staying so long, and I can truly
say, as I did then, that the time has pas
sed so pleasantly that i scarcely believe it
is so late.”
The piano was dosed, Lizzie’s work put
in the basket, and william was ready to go
up stairs, but glancing back, he saw his
little wife near the fire-place, her hands
clasped, her head bent, and large tears fal
ling from her eyes. He was beside her in
an instant. v
“Lizzie, darling are you ill ? What- is
the matter ?” • • *
“0 1 William, I have been such a bad
wile ! 1 beard you tell Mr. Moore last
evening how I had disappointed you ; but
I will try to make your home pleasant, ifc
deed I will, if you will only forgive and
love me.
“Love you ! Oh, Lizzie, you cannot
guess how well I love you !”
As the little wife lay down that night,
she thought, “I have won him back again!
Better than that, 1 have learned the way
to keep him.”
State Claims Against the Confed
eracy.—Congress has passed, in secret ses
sion, a vry important bill, in which the
State of Virginia is immediately interested.
It provides tor auditing the accounts of the
several States against the Confederacy.—
These accounts will, of course, have to be
settled upon au equitable basis, so far as
they can be adjudged to have been incurred
in provisions tor the public defence.
In May last, a distinct provision was
made by Congress for the expenditures of
the State of South Carolina in defence of
the Charleston harbor, the amount ot the
expenditures to be audited by the proper
officer of the Treasury Department. The
same principle of the equitable adjustment
ot State expenditures in the National de
fence, ir is proposed to apply to other of
the Confederate States. — Buh. Ex
