I fancy I £ee as I sit 'neath the shade Of the wide-spreading houghs of the tree,. The bright little faries that trip through the glade, Weaving sweet scented garlands for me. And now as I watch them by the soft gentle light Of Luna’s pale silvery beam, I see them take their wild weird flight Through the mist, the gloom and the gleam. And in fancy wild, free and exultant I seem To be wafted to Italy's shore, And drink in rich draughts of lore, as I .ean By some fountain or ruin of yore. Oh yes. in fancy are realized now, The bright golden dreams oS my youth; I could linger, fair Italy, forever, and bow To thy monuments of fame, beauty and truth. Tnis world to me uow is a happy realm, Peopled with images both pure and true; Decked with bright resplendent gems, Of every die and hue. Hillside Home near Island Creek, ? September 11 th, 1865. > For the Union. FRAC.1IENT8. How the spirit of that “radicnt maiden” bo- vored around Poe in all his inoods, sometimes al most etherealizing his thought and being! We came across something the other day from Mrs. Tenney, a piece supposed to he from Poe, really resembling the poetic fancy of that gifted but blighted genius: “Oh the dark, the awful chasm ! Oh the fearful spirit spasm ! Wrought by unresisted passion, In my heart. Fancies joyous, but alluring, Love pure, but unenduring. From time to time securing . Each a part. Theu embraced bv seraph bands, Drawn by tender, loving hands. From those treacherous, hateful sands Of despair. ‘ How my soul was waked to gladness, And cast olf the deadening sadness, And the soul-devouring madness ■Writhing there ! Then came dreams so soft and holy, Ore.r roses vandering slowly, Il'Uh sweet music stealing lowly . To my car ! Hark ! I hear—1 hear her calling. In tones no more of wailing, But in dewy softness falling. •Here, up here!' Thanks, great Leaven, I am stronger, Slave to earthly lusts no longer, I am freo. Qlt this light ; -/ Oh this brightness! Oh this i ■'.(! hrurally whiteness, Marking tlue ! Freed from earth and sin forever, Humbly thank Great God together, Death can us no more dissever, Thou and me.” Why do people pityingly say "‘poor Poe?” He wants no man s pity. If Le had not been a gloomy dark-spirited man, we probably would have been deprived of some of'the most singular, weird, and magniticent conceptions. Much of the dark ness of his spirit was doubtless the result of his excesses; hut lie was constitutionally gloomy, and that which often appeared darkest and most unhappy in his mind, was the very element in which his original poetic genius revelled. He is to be blamed for doing wrong, but not in having a thought winged with blackness and surrounded by weird and ghostly spirits. Darkness is just as necessary as light—unhappiness as happiness— sorrow as joy—suffering, deprivation, poignant pain, a3 prosperity, easo. tranquility. And how prone the world to misjudge the man who, linding little harmony with outward things, withdraws to an inner world, and in communion with invisible spirits, and the terrible realities of thought that penetrate the mysteries of life and death, catches a spirit of melancholly that darkens Lis counte nance and ditfuses its influence through his thoughts and actions; and then to be misunder stood. misinterpreted; to be accused of skepti cism, sin or some dark disappointment! If men were only made to talk, chat, eat, laugh, to dan dle with sentiment, flowers, and fanciful poetry, and to pursue happiness as the, great object of life; and were always expected, whatever the ex perience through which they are passing, to have a cheerful face, and ever ready to crack or laugh at a joke, ours would be an imbecile existence. This is the world’s surface idea of Jiving and hap piness. If this were all, true sentiment, thought, 6tudy, literature, society and aught that reveals the profonnder mysteries, strength, stability, and glory of human character, would dwindle into ra pid puerility. We sympathize more readily wi:h excess of sorrow than with exubereDce of joy.— That the people cf the South joke and laugh a great deal, indicates a striking defect in their character. Men of profound thought seldoir. laugh. A more philosophic slate is being devel oped, through sorrow and suffering, and bringing mind into stronger contact with ti.e real. And in proportion as we are made to feel and know the' real, will we know how to apply the ideal and sen timental. Both are essential to perfect individual and national character. “ Darkness shows us wo/lds of light, we never see by day.” Avon Fume. Poetry.—While we were publishing only a half sheet we could not fitid space lor our poetical contributors; but 4iow that we have again re sumed the publication of a whole sheet we will give them a place in this corner, until such time as we are fortunate enough to fill it with adver tisements. We must, however, say this much iu our own defense •• while wc sometimes correct An Eloquent Extract.—We have seldom read anything more eloquent than the following extract from a speech delivered by Hon. Alex. White, iu the Alabama State Convention: “Mr. President, the bonnie blue flag no longer reflects the liglit of the morning sun beam, or kisses with its silken folds the genial breezes of our Southern clime. The hands that waved it along the fiery crest of a hundred battle fields— and the hearts that for the love they bore it so of ten defied danger and death—no longer rally around it. Another banner waves in triumph over its closed and prostrate folds, hut proud memories and glorious recollections cluster around it. Sir, I will refrain. Tho South needs no eulogy. The faithful record of her achievements will encircle her brows with glory bright and enduring as the diadem that crowns the night of her cloudless skies. The scenes of Marathon and Plat.-e have been re-enacted in the New World without the beneficent results which flow from those battle fields of freedom, and our country lies prostrate at the feet of the conquerer. But dearer to me is she iu this the hour of her humiliation then w»s she id the day of her pride and her power. Each blood stained field, each track of devastation, each new made grave of her sons fallen in her defence, each mutilated form of the Confederate soldier— her widow's tear, her orphan’s cry—are but so many cords that bind me to her in the midst cf her desolation, and draw my affection closer around my stricken country. W hen I raise my voice or lift my hand against her. may the live thunder rive me where I stand ! Though I be false in ali else, I will he true to her. Though all others may prove faithless I will be faithful still. And when in obedience to the great command, ‘Dust to dust,’ my heart shall return to that earth from whence it sprung, it shall sink into her bosom with the proud consciousness that it never new one beat not in unison with the honor, the interests, the glory of my country.” — jry Winter is coming on ; already a little fire in tho morning and evening feels comfortable.— A pleasant time is winter to those who gather around a blazing hearth in a cheerful home : but it is sad and dreary to the poor and homeless; es pecially will the approaching winter be a bitter time to the poor deluded freedmen who have deseited their cabin homes and gone to the city. The Number of Battles.—The number of battles fought during tho late war, is given by an exchange, who we think understates the number, at two hundred and fifty-two. Of these, the soil of Virginia drank the blood of eighty nine, Ten nessee witnessed thirty seven, Missouri twenty- five, Georgia twelve, South Carolina ten. North Carolina eleven, Alabama seven, Florida five, Kentucky fourteen, the Indian Territory and New Mexico one each. Once the wave of war rolled into a Northern State, and broke in the great bil low of Gettysburg. Of the battles enumerated, sixteen were naval achievements.—Rich. Ilhig. We agree with the Hhig that the number of battles fought is greatly understated. No mention is made of the number of battles fought in Ma ryland, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. It strikes us that there were quite a number of bat tles in Mississippi. rF* There is but one thing common to all man kind, that is—Death. In life there is a great in equality, hat all, at last, find a common level—the grave. Praying for Husbands.—A very curious le gend was told by the Rpv. C. W. Bingham to that j portion of the party which, at the recent meeting i of the Arclueological Institute in Dorset. Eng land, was fortunate in visiting the little Norman chapel of St Catherine, at Milton Abbey. The legend was, that a certain day in the year tUb young women of Abbotsbury used to go up to St. Catherine’s Chapel, where they made use of the following prayer: “A husband, St. Catherine; a handsomo one, St. Catherine; a rich one, St. i Catherine; a nice one, St. Catherine; and soon, | St. Catherine.” Mr. Beresford Hope, who at these gatherings is always equal to any emergen- j cv, modestly proposed that all gentlemen and , married ladies should retire from the church, so as j to afford the young ladies present the opportunity ; of using so desirable a prayer. We onco heard of a young lady who was not I so choice as the ladies of Abbotsbury. She re tired to the woods and was praying for a husband j when she heard a voice (an owl) enquire ’tu-wbo?’ and she replied* ‘Lord, any.’ IfUr There is no sweeter music ever heard on earth than the joyous laugh of an innocent, hap py heart. tSF We hope our friend “Avon Edrne’’ will fa vor us with an article each week. Two Remarkable Gardens rN Illinois.— In the garden belonging to tho Hon. S. K Casey, of Joilet, a space 110 by TO feet, containing *200 square yards, is devoted to cabbage. Two kin As are growing in this miniature patch (“marble *, p w .'. lR , head” and “canuoD ball”) and the results are al- * ' -- ready marvelous. They are very solid, and many try Ot » tate, i. 11. of them are one foot and four inches in diameter, having nearly two months of growth before the heavy frost of November. The average weight of each cabbage, when full grown, is 4u lbs. ano i' we reckon 9' square feet to each head, an acre will yield 4,840 cabbages, and the aveiage weight 40 lbs. per head, will give 139,600 lbs. per acre If they are planted, eiving 4 feet square to ehdi head, (and this is the besr plan) the number ot beads per acre will be 2.272, which will give a still greater weight to each head, the range being horn 30to 60 lbs. each By the first supposition it would require 10 freight cars, each carrying 10 tons, to transport the yield of one acre cf such an enormous growth to Chicago, and at 25 cents per head, or per lb., the value of the crop would be §968. There is not in Illinois a more interesting sight j than this small cabbage patch, of scarcely the 20th of an acre, with its 250 huge cabbages It gives an idea of the powers of prodyctiou of our soil.

The barrel striking the mass of hair at her neck*prevented serious injury.” -—1 — ■■ m ry We think the Southern man who buys ths Harper's aud other Northern papers which Lavs been abusing us for years past, and refuses to pay for the paper published in the town where ho lives, and to which he is a subscriber, is not only mean but has lost all self-respect. “God s law is Love. Obey this law, and there is no use for any other law ; no use for legisla tures to make laws, or courts to punish for a violation of them ; no use for jails or penitenti*; lies : no use for locks,”—Sermon. Childhood.—Children are but little people, yet they torma very important part of society, expend much of our capital, employ a great portion of our population in their service, and occupy half the literati of oyr day in labors tor their instruction and amusement. I hey cause more trouble and anxiety than the national debt; the loveliest of women in her maturity of charms breaks not so many slumbers nor occasions- so many sighs as she did in her cradle: and the handsomest of men, with full-grown mustaches, must not flatter him self that he is half so much admired as he was when in petticoats. Without any. reference to their being our future statesmen, philosophers, and magistrates iu miniature disguises, children form, in their piesent state of pigmy existence, a most influential class of beings; and the arrival of a bawling infant, who can scarcely open its eyes, and only opens its mouth, like an unfledged bird, for food, will effect the most extiaordinary altera tion in a whole household : substitute affection for coldness, duty for dissipation, cheerfulness for gravity, bustle for formality, and unite hearts which time had divided. The Laugh' of 'Woman—A woman lias no natural gift more bewitching than a sweet laugh. It is like the sound of flutes on the water. It leaps from her m a dear, spaikling rill; ami tho heart that hears it feels as if bathed in the cool, exhil arating spring. Have you ever pursued an un seen iugitivo through tiees, led on by a fairy laugh —now here, uow there, now lost, uow found/ We have ; and we are pursuing that wandwing voice to this day. Sometimes it comes to us in the midst of care, or sorrow, or irksome business; and then we turn away and listen, and hear it ringing through the room like a silver bell, with power to scare away the evil spirits of the mind. How much we owe to that sweet laugh !, It turns the prose to poetry; it flings showeis of sunshine over the darkness of the wood in which we are traveling; it touches with light even our sleep, which is no more the image of death, but is con sumed with dreams that are the shadows of im mortality.—Prentice. Budding into Womanhood—There is a touching beauty in the radiant look of a girl just crossing the limits of youth, commencing her join- ney thro’ the checkered space of womanhood. It is all dew sprinklo and morning glory to her sr dent buoyant spirit, qs she presses forward exul ting in blissful anticipations. But the withering heat of the conflict of life creeps on; the dew- drops exhale: the garlands of hope, scattered and dead, strew the path; and too often, ere noontide, the quiet brow and sweet smile are exchanged for the weary look of one longing for the evening rest, the tw ilight, the night. The Idler.—Everything within us and about shows, that it never was intended that man should be idle. Our own health aud comfort and the welfare and happiness of those around us, all re- quit*-that man should labor. Mind, body, soul, all Alike suffer and rust out by idleness; the idler is a source of mental aud moral offense to every body around. He is a nuisance in the world aud needs abatement for the public good; like any other source of pestilence. Ladies, when being courted, owght not to object to the moderate u«e of tobacco. They should re collect that where there is a flame there must bo smoke. He that can please nobody is not so much to be pitied as him that nobody *can please.
