ARMY.
Tlie following poem, a fragment of whtcli
is going the rounds, we give ai it originally
appeared in the Newburyport Herald, over
the iignature of "Bjficld." prefaced with a
remark by the editor that it waa the sweetest
poem the war hud inspired. It is attributed
to Miss Hannah Davis, a young lady of six
teen years.
I'm sitting alone by the window,
O'erlooking the forest afar,
And dreamily working a slipper
For father, who's gone to the war.
The green bud grow on the slipper.
And the green bud swells on the tree,
And tho wind it sighs in the pine top,
And, father, I'm sighing for thee. , ,
From the old oak down in the meadow,
Comes the crow's monotonous caw,
And the blue-bird sings in the garden,
And I sing, "Gone to the war."
As a nun counts her beads at her prayers
I'm counting the days till you come,
And praying the angels to bear you
. Safe under their wings to your home.
For home is not home without father.
Our guide and protector and stay,
And you carried our borne and hearts
with you, ' . 1
When you left ua that bright summer
. day.
Do yon know that I've been with jou,
father, ,
Through all this weary campaign f
My feet have been bruised with your
marchings ;
Beneath the cold heaven I've lain.
By your side have I wrought in the
trenches;
Stood guard in the heat and the dust ;
I've hungered and thirsted and fainted ;
I've broken with you the hard crust.
And the boom of the death-dealing can
non Has come to my ear from afar
Believe me, dear father, believe me,
You went uot alone to the war.
When nightly I look up to heaven, ,
To the stars that gem the bkto sky,
I think of the starry flag o'er you.
And I know you'll defend it or die.
I know that the good God is with us:
I know the right triumph at last;
I know that peace's glorious rainbow
Will smile wheu the tempest is past.
But I know not He only knowclh,
Whose pleasure is infinite law
Whether these slippers, dear father,
Will ever come homo from the war.

Solemn, yet beautiful to view,
! Month of my heart thou dawncit here,
With sear and fadetl leaves to strew
The summer's melancholy bier;
The meaning of thy winds I hear,
As the red sunset dies afar,
As bars of purple cloud appear,
Obscuring every western star,
Thou solemn month ! I hear thy voice,
It tells my soul of other days, . ,, .
When but to live was to rejoice,
When earth was lovely to my gaze.

Where are those living raptures now!

Cases like the one I am nbout to relate are
much too frequent in our country, and they
are such, too, as should be guarded against
by all who have an interest in education.
This incident was brought to my mind by
the parent of Uy. who had been grossly
neglected eimpty because tie was very pooe
and comparatively without friends.
Many years g, when I was a smalf Ijoy,
I attended ss-htw) ia the town of
Among other scholars tUatre was one named
George Henry, lit father was a poor drink
ing man, and tho unfortunate boy had to
softer in consequence, George came to
school habited in ragged enrments but
they were all he bad. lie w as rough and
uncouth In manners, tor tie bad oeen drought
up in tiii way. lie was very ignorant, for
the simple reason that he never had the
opportunity of education,
Season alter sciiaon, poor George Henry
occupied the same seat in the school room,
it win a back corner seat, away front I lie rest
of the scholars and there he thumbed his
tattered primer. The ragged condition of
his gurb gave a homely cast to hi whole
appearance, and what intelligence there- was
iu his countenance was beclouded by the
"outer coverings" of the boy. He seldom
played with other children, for they seemed
to shun him, but wheu he fur a while joined
with them in their sport, he was so rough
that he was soon shoved out of the way.
The teacher passed tho poor boy coldly
in the street, while other boys, in better
attire were kindly noticed. In tho school,
young Henry - was coldly treated. -.The
teacher ueglccted him and called him an
"idle blockhead,": because le did not learn
The boy received no inccnlire to study, and
consequently he was most i f the time idle,
an idleness which begat hit disposition to
while- away his time in inisdiicf.. For this
he was wliipped, und the more idle he be
came. He knew' that he wis neglected by
the teacher, simply because he was poor
and ragged, and with u sort of sullen in-ilifli-rent'e.
sharpened at times by feelings of
hhternes, he plodded on his dirk and path
lets way.
Thus" matters went on for evcrnl years,
most of the scholar who wcie of Henry's
ago- had passed the higher branches of
study, wb'.lu he, poor fellow, still spelled
wont of one or two syluMvs, tnd still kept
his distant seat in the corner, Ilia father
hud mink deeper into the pi: of incbrity,
and the unfortunate boy was tuire wretched
than ever. .
The look of clownish indifference which
had marked his countenance, was now giv
. lug away to a shade of uuhnppy thought
j and feeling, and it was evident that the
i great turning point of life wits at hand. Ho
stood now in the etep of lifo from which
I the fate of after year must take rest
At this time a man by tltu name of Kelly,
I took charge of the school. He was au old
I teacher and curul'ul oUervcr of human na
ture, and really a good man. Long years of
k-uarduinilim over wild Youths had given
him a bin If,, authorative way, and in his
difcctiiliiie ho wns strict and uuwnvering.
The first day he passed at the teacher's
desk nf our school, he was mostly devoted
to wutohina; the movements of the scholar",
and studying the disposition ot those with
whom he had to '" Upon George Uenry
his eves restinl with a kecu searching glaiice,
but evidently made little of him during the
I llrst dav. vet on the secoud he paid more
i attention.
I . It was during the afternoon of the second
.day that Mr. Kelly observed young Henry
! enunm-d in fctriniring flies upon a pin. - Uu
went to the boy's seat and reprimanded him
for his idleness and took up the tattered
; Uiok from the desk,,-. , -
"Have you never learned more than is is
j this book)" asked the teacher. : - '
l "No. sir." said tho boy. .
j "How long have you been attending
jschoolt"
"Ever since I can remomlicr."
j. "Then you must be an idle, reckless boy,
i said the teacher with much severity. ' "Do
I vim rmliiB bow manv ream vou havo lost?
i What aort of titan do you till ok of rouking

too old to gn to school, ana then, while

nothing. Have you a father and mother!"
.. "Yes, sir," said the boy in a hoarse, sub
dued voice. '' '-
"And do ... titer wish vou to grow nn in
ignoranoej" : ' " '
- The boy hung down - his head and - was
silent; but Mr. Kelly saw two great tears
roll down his cheeks.; In an instant the
teacher saw that he hud somothing more
than an Idle, stubborn mind to deal with
in tlui ragged snhotar before bun. Ho laid
Ins hand upon the boy s head and in a Kiuu
tone said t i .-'.

tone of the voice that full npon his ear that
sounded strange to him aud he thought as
he looked around that the rest ot the schol
ars regarded him with kinder countenances
than usual. A dim iiiought broke in upon
his mind that for some cause he was going
to be happier thuu he was before, - ' 1
i After school was dismissed, George re
mained in his seat till the teacher called
him up to his desk.
. -Kow," said Mr. Kelly, "I wish to know
v hy it is that you have uover learned any
more. You look bright, and you look as
though you might make a smart man.
Why Is It that l ana you so ignorauu
"Ueeause no one ever neips mo," iwpnu
the hoy. "No body cones lor me, sir, lor I

i By degrees ilia kind hearted teacher got
the whole f the oor boy's history, and
while the generoua tears oeucwea nis rye,
fee Mid: '' 1 -; "' '" '
'Yoti have been wrongly treated, George,
but tlicre is a time foi rvdumptiou. I If I
will try t teach you, will you try to learuf"
"Yes Ob yes," quickly uttered the boy,
in earnest tones.- '"Yes I should like to
leira, I don't want to be a bait boy," be
thrillingly added, 'irblU hi face gloved
with aaiiuatloB.' i ' " --" ' ' ': ! "
' Mr. Kelly promised to 1 purchase bocks
for tho boy as fast as ha could learn to read
then, and when George Henry left the
schoolroom, thut evening hi, face was wet

hearts warmed towasds the poor boy.
Wo spoke-fondly, loi lis m and walkerV with
b him tti his-house, Ilia-heart was too full ur

On the neat morning George Henry com
menced to study in good earnest, and his
teacher helped bim faithfully. Never did I
see a change so radient and so sudden as
that which took place in the habits of the
poor boy. "
As soon as the teacher treated him with
kindness and respuce the scholars followed
the example, and the result was that they
found in the ntfortnnate youth one of the
most noble-hearted, generous and accomo
dating acd truthful playmates in the world.
Long years have passed since those- school
boy clays.. George Henry has become a man
of middle age, and in all the country there
is not a man more beloved and respected
thuu ho is. And all is the result of one
teacher having doue his duty.
You who nie school teachers, remember
the responsibility that devolves upon you.
In this country of free schools there should
be no distinction between classes. All sre
alike entitled to your care'and counsel, and
the weuker the child, the mote earnest
shonld be your endeavor to lift him up aud

Seventeen years ago, there was a fuir girl,
so pure, so lovely, so refilled, that she still
rises to my mind as almost akin to angels.
She was wooed, and ultimately won by a
handsome young man of considerable wealth
He sported a fine team, delighted in hunt
ing, and kept a pack of hounds. He neither
played cards, drank wine, nor tifed tobacco.
Hu had no occupation, no calling, no trade.
He lived on his money, the interest of which
would have supported a man handsomely.
I never saw tiio fair bride till a few days
ugo. Seventeen years had passed away, and

husband's fortune und his life,dtiring the
latter part of which they lived in a log cabin
on the banks of tho Ohio, near BleiHKriib.,
set's Island a whole family in ouu ttiuglc
room, subsisting on water, fat bacon, and
corn bread. The husband had no business
canacity. He was a gentlemen of education,
refinement, of noble impulses; but when his
money was gone he couln.pet Do employ
ment, simply becnuto ho did not know how
to do anything. For awhile he floundered
about tirst trying ono thing, theu another;
failure was writen on them all.
He however, finally obtained a situation?
the labor was great, the compensation was
small it was that or starvation. In his he
roic efforts todkehargchik duties acceptably,
he over-worked himself and died ' leaving
his widow and six gills in utter destitution.
In seventeen years, the sweet and joyous and 1

FAi.fc FttyxiNO GftAi'Ee. Most grape
growers delay pruning their vines till spring.
This wu think a bail practice. If they wish
to make cuttings of thu surplus canes, they
are not near so, good ns Mji'sjcun off in the
fall and rarefully burned, or put away till
spring. Tho wood is frequently so much
injured by the water, as not to grow in the
spring.
Bnt tlie woodircft fyr producing fruit is
better for being pruued in the fall. It is,
much more easily protected, as it can rcadi-'
ly be laitl clow n and covered slightly with,
earth, and if wq have a severe winter it is.
safe. Indeed we think it would pay to pro
tect vines iu this way in our mildest winters.,
It is not for tho protection t;f the vino,
alone, however, that we recommend full
pruniug. It is to strengthen the buds and
ennea which are left. Many think that it
will have up, $,u;li effect.' But if they will
prune two vines iu tlie saujp rrianncr one
in the full as soon as tho leaves are destroyed
by frost, the othur tho following spring r
tUcy will find that fall pruned vines will bo
much more vigorous and productive the
ensuing summer. The vino is not dead in
winter. Its roots continue to absorb food,
though ; course, in much less quantity
than in summer. The nutriment thus, ab
sorbed is distributed throughout the vine.
All the buds are more or less benefitted, but
as the buds remotest from tho roo.ts always
receive tho principal flow of sap, they are
most bvrefi,tted. Now by pruniug in thi
fall, all this is saved in tho buds and cane
wo havo left lor bearing. It is upou. this
principle that we always prune in full or
winter fiU" wood. Jy summer pruning we
check wood growth, as nil kuw.
The butls that are left w,ill Uccoinu
strengthened by the sap they havo i;eacvvvJ
during the winter. They will push early
and vigorously in the spring; and if well
cared for, will delight (be eyes of the behold
ers witli large clusters of luscious fruit that
they produce. Rural World,
