THE ALPINE CROSS.
BY JAMBS T. FIELD.
.; j .
Benighted once where Alpine storms
Have buried hosts of martial forms,
Halting with fear, benumbed with cold,
While swift the avalanches rolled,
Shouted our guid, with quivering breath—
“ The path is lost! —to move is death ! ”
The savage snow-cliffs seemed to frown,
The howling winds came fiercer down ;
Shrouded in such a dismal scene,
No mortal aid whereon to lean,
Think you what music it was to hear,
“I see the Cross !—our way is clear! ”
We looked, and there, amid the snows,
A simple cross of wood arose,
Firm in the tempest’s awful wrath,
It stood, to quide the traveler’s path,
And point to where the valley lies.
Serene beneath the summer skies.

Children or Judge Douglas.
A gentleman arrived in Washington a
few days ago from North Carolina for the
puspose of obtaining permission to carry
to that State the two children of the late
Senator Stephen A. Douglas. It appears
that these boys are entitled to large estates
in North Carolina and Mississippi, which
under the recently law of the Confederacy,
are in danger of confiscation on account of
the non-residence of the children, although
they are infants. The relatives cf their
mother are anxious that they shall bebro't
South to secure their rights in this proper
ty. They desirous also, that Mrs. Douglas
shall accompany them if she will consent.
The government has recently concluded riot
to grant passes to go beyond the lines
the Federal army for such purposes, a3’’it
intends to take such action as will rendter
utterly null and void any of the confisca
tions under the acts of the rebel usurpers
of the authority in the Southern States.
