Tho Little Drummer.
A SOIJilER's STORY.
"Tis ol a little di'inunicr
The story I shall tell ;
Of Ito-iT he marched to battle,
And all that there befell.
Oot in the West with Lyou,
(Foronee the name was true,)
For whom the little drummer beat
His rul-tut-luo.
Our tirmy rose at rui iniplit,
Ten llio '.saiid men as one,
Ea'di glinting 011 liis knapsack,
And Htinlehing up his gun :
"Jonnml !" and oh' tin y started,
As nil trood soldiers do,
When ton V.itle drummer beats lor them
Hit; rn! ut-tj.
Aero. a rollin:' country,
Where the mist hoiran to rise ;
lVf many a blae'cf. tie 1 firm hc-usa,
Till th t pun was in. the : kies :
Thin we met. tho lJt-bel nt.-kcN,
Who skirmished ahd with dm -.v.
Wliilo tho lit 1 1 0 drummer heataud beat
Tho ral-titt-too.
Along the woo led hollo'.vj
The hue of battle ran,
Our center poured a volley.
Au 1 the fi-ht at ouco began ;
For the Kobe's anv.rcrsd shoutisg,
An 1 n s-hnwer of bullets flew ;
Vut sliil the little drummer beat
His rat ' I'tl-iov
lie .vtood an;';!-!"; his comrades.
A they quickly formed the line,
And when they raised their muskets
ITe watched tho barrels thine 1
When the volley rang, he ctcrUd !
For war to him, was new;
But still the little drummer beat
lib rat tat-too.
It was a tie-ht to &ee them
Thrt early Autumn 'Jay,
Our soldiers in their blue coats,
And the Rebel ranks iu gray:
Thesmoke that rolled between then;,
The balls that whistled through,
And tho little drummer as he beat
Hi ra.-t"l,o.
Ills comrades dropped around him
By fives and tens they fell,
Some pierced by Minie bullets,
Pome torn by shot and shell ;
Thc-y played sgain.it our cannon,
Ai d a caisson's ppliir.crs flew;
But still tho little drummer beat
Ilia rut tat too.
The rtil'.t, tho left, the center
The fight was everywhere;
They pushed us hero wo wavered
. We drove and broke them thera.
Tho gray. backs fixed thier bayonets,
And charged the coata of blue :
But Ftill tho little drummer boat
His rat lutJoo.
'Where is our little drummer !"
His nearest comrades say,
When tho dreadful fight is over,
And tho smoke has cleared away,
As tho Uebcl corps was scattering
He urged them to pursue,
0 firioudy he beat and beat
The rat tat too !
He stood no mors among them,
For a bullet us it pped,
Had glanced and struck his ankle,
And stretched him with tho dead!
He crawled behind nciuuon,
And pale aud paler grew :
But still the little drummer beat
His rut. tut -too.
They bore him to tho surgeon,
A busy mau was be ;
"A drummer boj what alls him 1'
His comrades answered, ''See !''
As t'oey took him from from the stretcher;
A heavy brea.h bcd:ew,
And his tittle fingers strove to beat
The fit.'-j'.-tuo !
'iT.e ball bad spent its fury;
'A scratch," the r-urgeou said,
As be wound tho snowv bandago
Which the liut was st lining red I
"I must leave you now, old fellow."
"Oh ! take mo back with you,
For I know the men arc missing mo,
Aud the ,-at-tat.iw !"
Upou his comrade's shoulder
T'uey lifted him so graud,
With his dusty drum before lata,
Aud his drum. sticks iu bis baud !
To tha fiery front of battle,
That nearer, nearer drew
And cvertnoio he beat, aud beat,
His rat-lat.tou !
Tho wounded, as ho passed thorn,
Looked up aud ave a cheer :
And one iu dying blessed him,
Eel ween a smile aud tear 1
And the ray. backs they are Eying -Before
tho coats of blue,
For whom the littlo drummer beats

Whcu the west was red with sunset
SATURDAY July 29 13C5
The last pursuit was o'er ; 1
Brave Lyon rode the foremost, i
And !i. ,kcl (he name he bore!
And before him on his saddle,
As a weary child would do,
Pat the little drummer fast asleep,

Gq yc anil-i'ny the mintor.-Anon.
My IlEARnts-There are '.tiitiy ecem.'
ing trifles ia this world which you are
too apt 1 0 overlook on account of their!
apparent unimportance, the neglect of
which h:n rlungei thousands into thy
deepest mire of misery, aud sunk their!
characters into iuextraeablu degredation j
Among these ostensible trifles, that of,
neglecting to pay one's honest, debts is
the me t common, and a'tended with the 1
ivor.-t of consequences. It takes oil all'
the silken furze from tho Cr.e threads of
feeling creutc-i a sort of misanthropic
eoldue;; about the heart skins off ail (
the cream that mav chance to rise upon ,
the milk of generosity and make men
look as savagely upon his brnther met;
as does a dog upon
while engaged in the f,ratityii.g employ,
mint of esliog his master's diutic.-. Ooe
debt begets inothev, I 'nave always ob
served that he who ewes a man a dollar
is sure alsj to owe him a grudge; aud
he is i.bvaya more ready to pay compound
interc.t on the latter than on the former.
01), friends, to bo over head and ears
in love is as bud a pu-dieaiucr.i as a per
son ought ever to be iu ; but to be so
deeply in debt that you can't sleep of
nights without being haunted by the
ghosts of roue insatiate creditor, is
enough to give a man the hydrophobia
make Lim bite a wheelbarrow cause it
io run mad, and create a general von
sternation among the lamp. posts.
My dear friends tho debt that sits
heaviest on the conscience of a mortal
provided be b?s one is the di.lt duo
the printer. If pisses harder upou ot;o's
bosom than the nightmare gull; the
soul frets and chat's every ennobling
sentiment. niueczes all the juice of fra
ternal sympathy from the heart, and
leaves it drier than tho surface of a
roasted potato. A man who wrongs the
priuU-r out of a single emit can never
expect to enjoy comfort in this world,
and may well have doubts of finding
happiness in any other, lie will be sgro
to go dowu to the grave ere Time shall
have bedecked his brow with the silvery
blossoms of age ; and the green leaves
ofhopov.il! fall before tho first bud of
eujoymeut has expanded. It is true tho
mushrooms of peace may spring up dic
ing a short night of forgetfulneess, b it
they will all wither beneath the scorch
ing rays of remorse. How can you my
menus, ever have the wickedness uud j
cruelty to cheat the printer, when youj
consider how much he has done, and is !
every day doing, foryou. IIo has poured
into the tre asuries of your minds, scmo j
of tho most valuable gifts that any thing 1
short of a God can bestow ; ay, riches
with which you would not part for tho
possession of the world and a mortagage j
on a small corner of heaven. With the
keys of magic, us it were, he has opened !
the Iron .cased doors of tho human un
deriauding dispelled tho darkness of
ignorance, and lit up tho lamps of knowl
edge and wisdom. That mighty engine
the Pr?ss is surrottndsd by the glory
and its effulgence extends all over Clio
broad empire of tho mind, illuminating
ilia darkest avenues of tho heart; and
yet tho printer the man who tolls at
the lover of this soul enlightening in
strument is o.':eu robbed ol his hard.
earued broad by tboso whoru be has de. 1
livcred from meutal boii'tago, and placed
in a para liso to lay oil' and grow fat
upon tho fruits of his labors !
Oh, yun tiiigreatful sinners ! If you
have hearts softened with the dews of
meii-y, instead of giziards filled with
gravel take heed what I. say unto you.
If there be ono among you in this con
gregation whoso aecount is not settled
with tho printer, go and adjust it iinnie
diatcly, aud be able to hold your head
up in society, like a giraffe: be respected
by the wise and good fro a from tho
toiture ot a guilty conscience tho mor.
tIMcatiou of repeated duns and oeapo
fioin falling iato tho clutches of those
licensed thieves, tho lawyers. If you
are honest and honorable men, you will
go forthwith and p.ay tha printer. You
will not yatt for the morrow beeuuse
thcro is no to.morrow; it b but a vision,
ary receptacle of unredeemed promises;
au addled egg in tho great nest of the
future j the debtor's hope and tho cred.
dilor's curse. If you aro dishonest, low.
miuded sons of fciutiu, I don't supposo
you will ever pay the printer, as lona as
you fcavo do reputation to lose, uor char
acter to sustain, aud no nioralu to culti.
vatc. But, let me tell you, my Ineuds,
that if you don't do it, your putts to ;he

I then asked him if he had made his
peace with bis printer? lie hesitated for
a moment, and then said ho believed bo
owed him something like about two del.

have paid before be bid good bye to the
