Ttdmarsh, now deceased, upon t lie death of a brother officer, at Johnson's Island, 1862 :] No military requiem graod Swells rennd his lonely bier; No muffled drum, no mourning band Attend the warrior here. To him all funeral pomp’s denied, No fife or trumpet loud, No guard of honor by bis side, No banner for hia shroud. No trophies won in daring fight Adorn bis coffin rude, To attest the stalwart warrio’r might, And prove his noble blood, No last salute is fired o’er Tbe hero’s new made grave, Sunk close by Erie’s sloping shore, And washed by Erie’s wavs. Calmly be sleeps boneath the sod, Ilia last parade is doue; Alone with his country and his God His last great fight is won. Ifnapotted from the AVorld. It was a delicious Autumn afternoon, and all tbc gay world of New York was abroad arrayod like lilies of tbe field, on tbe promenade or tbe drive. A riobly attired young lady ran up tbe ateps of an elegant, mansion and pulled tbe bell. "Miss Allison at borne?”she asked of the servant who auswered it. ‘Yes, ma’am,’ said the man ; 'walk In to the parlor, if you please, and 1 will take up your ncme-' ‘Oh, no, you needn’t trouble. I know she will see me ; and I shall just run up to her room,’ said tbe young lady, aDd she tripped past the pompous waiter up the broad staircase, her silken flounces, puffs, and sashes rustling as she w?Dt, and knocked at the door of the young lady of the house. 'Come in,’ said a pleasant voice, and tbe visitor entered and rushed up to giett her with all tbe effusivemss so much in vogue. ‘You must excuse my rushing right up to your room,’ she began at once; ‘lut I positively could not wait another instant to see you after I had beard that vou bad got back to town It aeem* an age since we parted at Sharon, and I was telling mamma only the other day that I bad never met any one aith whom I fell so iu love at first sight. I m#’ young Cadwallader, your devo’ed, you know, at a matinee on Saturday, and he told me you bad got home. This is ouly Monday, and here I am ; i n’t th s devotion ? For I declined a drive in tl e park behind those glorious lays of Col. Hautnn’s, on purport to eotne ear* ly, before you would get out. ‘And how well you are looking,’ she rattled on again after a moment’s pause for breath : ‘and what a lovely room you have. I thought mine was pretty, but yours is a thousand times handsom er. The effect of those rosc-colored hangings is delicious, so becoming to your brunette style. I expect tbej give me too much color, bung a blonde, you know;’ and the pretty, giddy young creature glanced ccquettisbly into tbe great mirror, and tossed back tbe long, fair tress wbiob floated and curled over her dainty shoulder. 'But what in tjte world are yeu do ing, may I ask ?’ she began in a tone of consternation, her roving attention hav ing been just arrested by her hostess’ occupation. ‘You don’t mean to ray that you, Miss Alli*on—the bell”, the heiress, the very topmost layer of the creme tie creme —alter over your own dresses !’ The last words were brought out in such s low, prolonged tone of horror, that the lady addressed could not refraiD a burst of amused laughter though here still l’ngcred on her cheek the faint flu*b of annoyance which bad dawned thtre at tbe unceremonious intrusion of a mere wttering place acquaintance into her own speoial apartment. ‘I am sorry if you are shocked, Miss Seymour,’ she replied in a self-possessed aud .till amused tone, 'but I really do sometimes.’ ‘Oh, please don’t sail me Miss Sey mour ; you celled dc liose once, at Sha ron, don’t you r nernber, and it made me so happy, nod dou’i be offended, but I am real / overwl timed. You. who set all the girW nearly mad with envy of your elegant toilette—you are surely nevir going to wear this again ?’ and she took up iu her daiotily*didded fingers some breadths of merino, faded in somo places, and worn in o'bers, which lay across Miss Alison’s lap The girl was so youDg, so sincere iD her devotioD, and so evidently innocent of any presumption in hcrebild—like per sisteDce, that Miss Alison could not as sume with her stately diguity with which •ehe would have met some people’s im f> rtiaccce. So she answered pleasaut- Y : . , T , ,r ‘No, I don’t think I shall ever wear this dress again, though it was once a favorite wrapper. If you notice, you will me I could hardly get into it in its pr sent shape. And she held up the waist, which had evidently been made for a child. Oh, I see. You are altering it for a little girl. Rut yon wouldn’t let your sister wear second band dresses; and be sides, yon have no little sisters. Ah, I understand—some little cousin—poor re atiors. They’ie torments of my life ; but I didn’t dream you had auy. i thought the Allisons were blue b'ood, and ra’ling in wealth, all the way back as far as auy me ever heard of them.’ Miss Allison laughed again. ‘I don’t know but that the Alison blood is the same color as other people’s ; X never notioed any differenceshe said, ‘though VOL. IV. —NO. 43. • wo bare no relatives that need onr as* sistance that I know of. If we had, I don’t think they would be tbe bane of roy life. I think it would be a great Hi* 1 t rest aud occupation to me to hefo them.’ ‘Would it really!’ said her young vis itor in a surprised tone ‘I never thought of such a thing. It is always a horrid bore to mo when auot Emil/ comes to make one of her long visita tions, She’s a widow with ever so man/ little children, and her husband was a grand scamp, and ran through all her properly, and papa has to belp her, you koow; and mamma and I give her our dresaes when we are done with them.—- And that brinps me to what we were talking of. Why in tbe world do you »it hero poking over these old things, when everybody else is out this lovely af erneon \ * Miss Alison paused before speaking, ‘Should sho unveil her heart,' ahe thought.,’ before this thoughtless girl, and show her the motive prineiple of her life ? Was it worth while ? Could she understand—appreciate it ? She would risk it. The young creature had taken a straoge fancy to her; she was respon sible for her influence, and she might win in her another laborer for her Mas ter’* work.’ go ahe said gravely and softly : ,Rose,’ and the young girl ool ered with pleasure at the kindly famil iar tone. ‘Rose, you know—everybody ltoowff - —that there ars plenty of poor people in the world; wretched, starving, wiok ed poor people, some of them, I grant y>u, though we are none the less bound to belp them ; for whieh of us can say we should not be wicked too if we had been born and bred as they ? Ku-t there is another kind of poor people for whom my Peart has always gone out itr sympathy. Decent mothers of families, who strivo to bring up their little ones respectably, and pioch and save and stint to save them from going in inde cent rags, and to provide them with clothing fit to wear to church and to Sabbath school. I know more than on®, family of this sort through my class im Sabbath school, and it is for them f al ter my old dresses. True, l might jive them to tbrm just as they are; but think how little time those poor, hard-working women have, and how much we have.— What a world of trouble it saves their poor, botching fingers, roughened by the washboard, to have a garment brought to them already fitted to their child and how it proves to them that we, whom God has seen fit to bless with wealth, really feel for them and want to help them. Ah, Rise, if you could go with me sometimes, and see what'l have seen, you would never want t) touch % piece of fancy work again unless of an evening, in tbe drawingroom. Y r ou will find such sweet reward in those poor oreaturcs’joyful thanks, that it would make you happy to spend your leisure hours as I do, in helping those who try so hard to help themselves. Miss Alison spoke eagerly, warmly, and her young visitor listened, amazed, admiring, touched to tears. ‘And this is Miss Al son, the toast of tho season, everywhere,’ she aaid, draw ing a long breath. ‘I know not why it was I worshipped you from tho first. Others were b-autHul and fas fascinat ing, but you were different; You are like a sermon 1 beard once, and did not believe it possible. It was keeping one’s te-f unspotted from the world Ob, wont you let me be your friend in real tru’h, aDd teach me to be like you?’ And the gay, giddy girl dtew near the beautiful Christian lady acd bid her lears upon her shoulder ‘Nay, my child, not like me, but like Christ. He ir the great pattern for ns all, rich and poor.
