Mid its opening ossoms nestle,
Birdlike in its brunches sing,
Smiling lull its cradle slumbers,
Guard with pride its youthful bloom
Fondly kiss its snow-white temples,.
Dew its turf-mound o'er its tomb.
Lite is beautiful--with promise,

Life is tearful with the threatening
Of an everlasting shade ;
May not thoughtless wanders! scorn it,
Blindly lost in folly's maze;
Duty, love, and hope adorn it,
Let its latest breath be praise.
BOXICISCCIOXAX.L.S.N In
THE ]DRUMMER BOY
BY ANNIE. S. DOWNS
The whole city was wild with triumph at
the victories of Fort Donelson and Roanoke.
Cheer after cheer went up at the exchange,
and people were jostdng each other in the
thronged streets, and instead. of begging par
don, would burst into-a-shout forthe_old flag.
Woman that'l was, as I hurried home in the
twilight of that gl lions day. I had to hold
my muff close to my mouth. to prevent my
voice from swelling the great thanksgiving.
Turning the corner of my own street, I was
stonished to see that my parlor was brilliant
ly 1„, , • nd through the curtains I like
wise saw tigures — ineving rapidly. I ran u
-the steps and. soon discovered the. reaso i.
fi)r as I opened the door all my. own children
and several of my neighbors rushed with
great sweep int) the hall, and for a moment
1 wits nearly stunned with their cheers for
the-fort, the soldiers, the Stars/and Stripes,
etc. At last, at'the voll ly for the gunboats,
they stopped from cheer exhaustion, and I
asked very meekly, "What in the world are
you down in -the parlors for :"
"Weil, mother," gasped Will, "we wanted
to play we• were gunboats, and the nursery
wasn't big -enough. _See me., 110N4 , -- 4 am go
iag to run within four hundred yards of the
guns of the fort," and with a yell like a wild
lndian's,he brandished a cane and made a
charge at the. bookcase, coming within an
inch of-smashing my Dante and Beatrice.
I -winced' but did not scold them, only en
ticed them into the less crowded dining room
where we ,played gunboats and cheered until
their father coming home to tea, shocked us
by saying gravely that he should have to
send us all to the watch house
Many incidents of the battle he told the
eager children as we,tOok our tea' ) and just
before their bedtime, es they stood before
hiurfor- the customary story, he told then,
the one I.shall now try to tell you.
"You all.know," said their father, "how
in April last the Massachusetts men : were at
tacked and murdered in the streets of
more, and how the whole heart of New En
gland-thrilled to avenge their death. Their
was a young.boy of .Alarblehead, onlytfteen
years old, Albert-Mansur by name, who-came
from school that day_ wild with indiguotior,
-• and-- told - his niet4r that' he, was Oleg to the
War—lhe couldn't stay at home.

httaelied hiS father . eat 'subject,
but hiS . ratbei prentptorily stns
and - -told him there mw§the no more' talk in*
the matter., Usually his father's 'decision
'settled things, but this dine Albert argued ,
manfully. He .Could do-just as serviee
as anybody—be ought to go—he must 'go.—
But Mr. Mansur was firm, yet be had to yield
although the, Struggle was se server, that he
greir pale and thin. At last, to. Aireit Al
bert's attention; they sent him to his grand
father's in Augusta,. and fervently hoped he
would forget his fancy. Bat when he arri
ved there, he found a regiment already to on.
'n to tampir - sbort-way—from--theeitY; He
accompanied them, as a drummer.
His father and mother, as the weeks went
by, became impatient, and at last went for
him. As they rode through the street, al
most the first person they saw was Albert,
marching in a fine new uniform with. the
regiment on the Way to the station. 'He had
kept,his promise to thern—be had not enlis
ted—but they felt front that day that they .
must let him he go. He - went home , with,
them, and after a few weeks they gave him
up, and he enlisted in the Massachusetts
Twenty-third, Col. KUrtz, as drummer for
one of the companies, being the youngest in
the regiment. Dear little ones, I can never
tell yonhowhis poor mother felt—how his
father in 'his batter grief prayed—how
many hut tears stained the few articles he
could carry—and then almost as sorrowfully
its to. his lin•rial, they went to see him start.
That day the poor parents talked Tong to
gether, then the father went out and while
he was ~o ne, the palesmother-Inelt with her
thee hidden, asking for strength and patience.
When he came in., Albert knew that he
should not goldone. His father had enlist
ed as a private in the same company, so as
to take care of that idolized boy. They
sail*d in the Burnside expedition; . and on all
that long, dreary- passage, Albert was the
light and joy of his regiment. So NI of
enthusiasm and hope was he that his father
.ther, "4-4443--pet • •
all not seem to hurt. him a bit." Officers
and men delighted.to do him favors; and his
prompt, saucy drumming won the praises
from the gallant Commander-in-Mid.
When the hazardous work of landing began
Albert managed to be in one of the first boats,
and was consequently among the first to stand
on the enemy's Islam/ of I{oauoke—their's
then, o'ur's now,thanks be to God r—
ill that march through slime and water, he
did his part well, not allowing his father to
totach his . eherished drum ,for an instant. At
last they cauni. in. sight dile enemy's batter.
ics. "Who will go and take it ?" asked the
General. "l'he Massachusetts Twenty-thirdr
was the quick reply. "Forward, then, double
quick!" and in the teeth of that galling fire
they ru,shed to •their death as if it had been
to their bridal.. . •
Albert slung his drain over his shoulder
and seized a rifle from a wounded 18a12. near,
dealt true shots for his country.' Itis father
fell wounded by his side, but he heeded him.
not, for his whole soul had lost itsel‘in the
work before him.
"Look at that child l" said ,one of f icer to
another—"no wonder we conquer when boys
fight so."
At has tli+e pasition was ours; the Rebel
gunnels turned and fled, and for an instant
the roar of battle ceased. So - intent was Al
bert that he never stopped, and was loading
;wain - , when the Colonel touched his shoul
der. "Wait—rest a minute, my young hero:
don't you see they are running?"
"Oh, glory hallelujah 1" sang the excited
boy? "didn't I say they should run to the
old tunes?" and seizing his drumsticks, he
struck up,, in a wimderouily defiant way, our
linipudent old strain - of Yankee 'Doodle. It
was a nee sound as it rang over that field
of death; aid faint and weary as our brave
follows wore, they gore-it a ron-ing welcome.
A flying Rebel heard it, and looking back,
took sure aim at Albert. A man near the
boy saw him, and tried to pull Albert down,
but he stood his ground, and the ball did not
fail to d.) its deldly work.
"0, father!" burst from the tearful chil
dren-I'mA killed waehe?"
They thought hint only struund at first,
and bore him out of the crowd, they bathed
his' brow; and you will love his knightly Col.
none the less when I tell you that his strong

giWhich beat? +lllicit tell me?" -
Tears an like rain down the blackened
faces, and one in a voice husky with sobs
satd: "We, Albert and the field is ours."
The little airs death had already deadened
caught no sound, und, his hand fluttered im
patiently as he gasped. •
• "What? tell (pick!" •
"IV° beat'em intircly, me boy," said a'big
Irish Sergeant. who wars crying liken 'Abp.

According to the invitation: previously an

parade of thii splendid -regiment; on yester
day afterneonti at their camp,. two miles from
the city—A-large' numbimeceitizetie
present on the occasion. -
Gov. Johnson was introduced by Mr. fkist,
Secretary of State, in some• brief and appro
priate remarks. Gov, Johnson said 'that
recognizing the men before him as the de
fenders or the Law, the Constitution and
the Union, lie welcomed them heartily to
the State .of 'Tennessee. He recognized in
this great contest no sectional line, but the
broad and noble one of Union. He believed
the men; the citizen, soldiers,. who stood be
fore him had not conic as• sithj.ators and
invaders, but as protectors and defenders of
all who were loyal and true: This was a
momentous struggle which involved the ex
istence of free Government itself.lt was a
battle between despotism and democracy,
for supremacy.. He knew the leaders of this
rebellions well and intimately, both
~Ecrsonally
and politically, and he declared it was the
firm determination of the Rebel leaders to
overthrow - popular Government, if 'they
should succeed, and establish a despotism
instead of oW- - mil institutions.—

the aristocrats in the next struggle would

is now in its fulfillment, and the leaders of
this infamous rebellion. were trying to tram

There- was nothing noble or exalted in the
Rebel movement. He. knew the demon
of Secession_ t o be an *ignoble one :It
was a diabolical, he 1 I—b or n concern.—
And tta was glad to see all over the land an
instinctive rally around the flag of the Union
by the people. All differences of birth and
of former party associations are forgotten , in.
this battle for the right - of man. He hailed
. the men of Minnesota as-the citizen- soldier;
of the. Union, who had come not to infringe
on one• right, but rather to_protectusiu_the
enjoyment of alb. Yes,. he spoke almost in
sight J - 4' the Sage and Soldier of the- Hermi

what waso» to-day in Tennessee it
seemed to hinr'he would burst the cerement;
of his tomb, and walking forth in all-his for
mer majesty, would raise his hands and Cx
claintto the soldiers of the Union, "The
Federal Union must be preserved," and then
cry to the embattled host, "On to the con
flict!" It has been. charged by the apostles
of treason that the Ndl'th had dome here to
set negroes free. Ho knew no North—had.
travelled among her people, and he repelled
the charge with scorn. There- were
Con fithatics ther<it was true—sectionalists,
anti 'traitors—brothers of Southern Seees
sionists—but these creattsres constituted but
a fraction of the great body of the North.—
The voice ofifite overwhelming. mass of , the
North, as well as of' nine men out of ten who
stood efore him, was: "We care nothing for
youi. negroes; manage them as best suits
yourselves, but the U nion shall be preserved,
and you must obey the •laws. (This sena.'
ment, was confirmed and endorsed by the sot
dicers with deafening shouts of applause and
cries of "That's sot")
Yes, the Union must be , preserved , . He
was in during the war, for its preservation,
and if' necessary would pour out, his heart's
blood as a free libation on the altar of' free
dom, in order that the blessings of free gov
• ernment. might be transmitted down 'o gen

to-destroy these moriiitire•ereatitres, whose

"God shall wipe !way all tears from their,
eyes." The expressies is one- of ezgaisite
tenderness, and beauty. The poet Ihirris
said that he could , nevei read this without
being affected to weeping.—Of all the nega
tive descriptions of heaven, there is no one
perhaps thatwould be better adapted to pro
duce consolation than this. _ This is a world
of weeping--a vale of tears.. Who is there
of the human: family that has not wept over
the grave of a friend, over his own losses and
cares, overhisdisappointment, over the treat
ment he has received from others, over his
sins,:over the. folies, vices, and woes of his
fellow-men?—And what a change it would
have in our world, if it could be said, that
henceforward hot another tear would be
shed, not a head. would ever be bowel again
in grief ! Yet this is to be , the- eonditiou of
heaven. In that world there is to be 'no
pain, no disappointment, bereavement. No
friend is,.to.lie in. dreadful. agony on a sick
bed: no, graveis to receive a wife, a child; no
gloomy prospect of death is to draw tears of
sorrow from the eyes. TO that blessed world,
where our eyes run dotrikwith tears. we are
13ttrtuittErd.to look forward; and the prospect
of such a world. should contribute. to wipe.
away our tears here—for aIY our sorrows
V • m be over- Amidst the trials of the

ully determined to
no President who
on people, as Abe
ckson bad forseen
present life, when nen a cave us, v , '""" s- 'l.
ness comes, when our hope's are blasted, when
calumnies and reproaches. come upon us,
when—standing on the verg.e of the grave,
and looking down into the cOld tomb—the
eyes pour faith floods of tears, it is a Llessed
privilege , to be-permitted to- ook forward to
that brighter scene in heaven, where not a
pang shall ever be felt, and not a tear shall.
ever be shed.
We confess that no event of the day has
fgaitfied us more than the Met that Presi
dent Lincoln's emancipation message adop
ted by both branches of Congress, has+ in. a.
great measure, allayedand quieted the' clash
ing elements that had arisen to- divide.the
'Northern people on the slavery question as
affected by the =rebellion. -Those, who were
in fiver of the forcible and unconditional
abolition of slavery by tkGovertnnent, and
the arming of the slaves, have abat.dened that
extreine ground, and perceiving in the Presi
dent's proposition the meet satisfactory solu
tion of the difficult problem, without depart
in;; in the leak from the Constitution by
which it is the duty of all' to Aide• they
gave their cordial_ sanction and support to
President Lincoln's wise doctrine and policy.
The more conservative Republicans—those
who seem to number in their ranks the Presi
dent himself---of course heartily approve and
endorse a proposition, so eminently correct in
principle and so accordant with their general
ideas in reference to the subject. Many
Democrats—constituting that portion not wed
ded to Human ,Slavery, as t means of up
holding their party orgin it
their hearty assent; and not tidy a few - of
the leading men of the loyal. Slaves States—
men who own slaves , awl-whose interests
seem to be with the institution. of Slavery—,
regard it as a master stroke by the President„
and while.somece.press doubts of the tenden
cy of the, recommendation, a large number
not only indicate acquiescence, hut an inten
enn to accept the offer of the Government,
and thus get rid of slavery in. a peaceable and
constitutional way.
. Hence the declared policy of the Adminis
tration on this question has not only, served
to withdrawn dividing wedge from the Way
or the Republican party and re-unite it upon
a more sound and satisibetory basis, but-at, -
traeted to the .support of .the Administration
all parties and. shadesof. parties that stand
comm:te I to the noble work of preserving
the Union and vindicating the Constitution.
President Lincoln today enjoys the confi
dence .and good will -of the peopl6 of the
North, 'and of loyal men nt the South, to a
degree that Plainly telbi how wisely the ship
o 1 S tate has thus far been conducted over
the troubled waters.-4 - --Erie Gaiette.
Parson Brownlow during the delivery,

LESSON.FIRST,
MC Smart Dixie Boy.
Once - there was a lit-tie boy, on-ly four
years old. His name was Dix-y.' llls fath
er's name was I-sham, and his moth-er's
was All-sham. Dix-y was verlsmart. He
could drink w.his-key, fight chick-ens, play
pok-er, and. CIL9B his moth-er. • When he was
on-ly two years old,• he could steal su-gar,'
hook pre-serves,.drown kit-tens, and• tell lies
like a man. Dix-y died and went to the bad
place. • But the Dev-il would not let Dix-y
stay there., for he Said "When you get
Dix-y, you would be head Der-il your
self:" All lit-tle Reb-els ought to ,be like
Dix-y, and so' they will if they stutLy the
Con-fed-er-ate Prim=er,'
Music before
The battle of Pea Rif
settled the fhte of Sou.
probably of Arkansas, also, was
,fought be
tween a rebel army numbering upwards of
25,000 men, and the Union, forces under
Gens. Curtis, Sigel and Asboth, *umbering
13,000. The Confederate army had suc
ceeded in 'Flamm - Ming our troops, and had
thrown a heavy force on their rear; to cut
off all retreat. On ,Thursday, 4hntith, the
attack of the rebels began, and through tut
.that day and the next, the tide of success
seemed to to set in their favor. :The gallant
Sigel had been twice cut off, and' twice, a.f."
ter moat
,desperate fighting, . had hewn his •
way, with heavy loss, through , the-enemy's
ranks. The evening of the secend day came
on, and the wearied "troops after making ar
rangements for the decisive conflict. of .thei
next morning, lay down on, their arrns.to
taint a little needed rest. Quiet settled,down
upon thocamp only disturbed by:the groans
of the wounded and the bustle of unfinished,
preparation for the coining day. • .
Suddenly there.rosefrom,the. clamp of the
German regiments the
,notes:of one of those
plaintive airs of the Fatherland whitilt that
musical race carry with theui into whatever
'clime they may wander. SAlly the strains I
floated oyer - thatAloody battle field, tholan--
guage unknown to, most of time listeners, but
the melody carrying all memories back to
homes and the hearts whose future hung in
time balance' of the.mos row. The effect was
electric. What heroic resolves were kin
died by that simple air, sungin that critical
hour io the ,wilderness, no ono cell tel._ We
only know the next.day's history. Our for,
ces mono splendid victory,' and where the
battle raged fiercest, were the Germans - who
-sang the- preview night away: , -
