The Officer's funeral iu Prison.
[A touching reminiscence written by
Capt. T U. 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

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

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. Yes, we will be
friends together in Him, and he will
belp us since we must be in the world,
not to be entirely of the world.’—Mes
senger.
.. t3TU. r - H used to take bi»
little son iuto his arms and talk about
J 'sns. Tho littlo boy never grew tired
of that ‘eweet story.’ It was always
new to birn.
One cay, while sitting on his father’s
lap, bis papa said to him—
• Would my litde son like to go into
tbe Kingdom of Heaven ?’
‘Yes, papa,’ he answered.
‘But,’ said the father, ‘bew can yo®
get there ? Your little heart is full of
sio. How can you expect to go where
God is ?’
‘But we are all sinners, papa/ the lit.
tie fellow answered.
‘That is true,’replied the father, 'and
yet God ba> said that only the pure io
heart shall see Lkn. How, theo, can
my little boy expect to go there ?’
The dear little fellow’s face grew very
sad. His heart seemed full, aud burst
ing into tears, be laid his bead od bis
1 father’s bosom, and sobbed out—
‘Papa, Jesus oan save mo.’
Dear children, Jesus can save you. If
.you would be saved, you must look to
ll'tn, ‘for there is noue other name un
der Heaven given among men whereby
we mue' be saved.’
