AIT EVENING BBAYER.
BT CORDELIA BA'jES.
Dear Saviour! at the- close of day,
I humbly bend the knee,
And seek thy presence, that I may
Be greatly blessed by thee.
All vain and wicked thoughts forgive,
All duties left undone,
By all thy Statutes let me live,
In thy commandments run.
For alt thy goodness, may my heart
With gratitude o’erflow;
Help me! that I may act the part
Of Christian, here below. ’
Quicken me, Lord! for thy name’s sake,
Revive my drooping, aoul i •
Strengthen my feeble faith, and make
My wounded spirit wholo.
And when it .pleases thee to give
My weary sjimtiflight,
0 ihayit rise to thee, and live
In thy own home of light.
•From sin and suffering set free,

Toward the close of a beautiful day, during
the invasion of the North by the rebel army, a
superior officer of that army presented bitnelf at
tho door of one of the most aristocratic residen
ces of the place, an,d respectfully begged a bowl
of coffee fora sick'companion. The lady of the!
house hasteneej/to prepare it, and -prcsently he
received at'hhr’hanak a large pitcher of 7 the re
freshing beverage.
He pledged himself to return 1 shortly, and the
lady, impelled by curiosity; resolved to discover
whether be Svas trutMul, dr whether it was a
pretext for regaling himself with a luxury. She
saw him take it to officer whose pale coun
tenance and stooping; figure she had noticed,
and who drank off cup after cup, Us though his
thirst was unquenchable, until the pitcher \W
drained. Immediately her visitor turned to bear
back the borrowed; on reaching the
door he said: “May God.bless you for your
kindness to a suffering man. He is feeble and
almost exhausted, and you can Hot lmow how
mueh this has comfprjed him.” ; v . ■>,
He offered compensatipp, .which was refused.;
He lingered as if Wishing ati "invitation to tarry
and immediately some young ladies whose cu- !
riosity to see asplendid,rebel .officer,” out
weighed their fear, appeared on the threshold,
and among them a little girl of three years. At
tight of her,; the haff faee 'of the ponfedpratie
brightened, and' extending a hand, he said,
“ Sissy, I left a little girl at home, just about
your size, and she could sing very sweetly. Can
you sing'?'” : !i • "*•
“Yes sir.”
“ Would’nt you like to sing me among for my
little girl’s sake ? ”
“Mamma said you were a rebel, and had
oome>fE*to shoot us, and burn our,houses.” -,
- ■ ’'“H’Aoi 7 my little f deiiy I couldn’t thihk df
shooting you,” he replied, with evident , embar
rassment. “I •will take care of ybu, instead:’’
" Will you ? Then I will sing you my nicest
new song,” and regarding him as a worthy
friend;- she placed Her hand in’ his, and] looking
up into his face with childish confidence, began
.to Bing with lisping accents :
‘ “The Union foreve’r, hurrah boys,.ittixhh*.
jpown with the .traitor, iinwithtWst«,r! ,, i
with as much assurance as though she had known
he admired the sentiment, His face took on its
former serious, abstracted look,’and he seemed
unconscious that she hadeeasqd, until one of
the ladies inquired if he would favor them with
singing. He consented to join in that grand
old hymn which can never die, and he reverently
uncovered his head while they sang,
“Be thou, O God, exalted high,”
and the fullness, and richness, and exquisite
melody of his tones con never be forgotten by
that little company.
He took leave of the party, but, as if having
forgotten himself, turned back, and inquired:
“Will one of you. ladies oblige me by exchang
ing a postage etamp, fori wish to communicate
with a sister in Washington, which I cannot do
With cutteney;” \ 1
A lady promptly assented, and received the
curiosity, and on discovering trdees df his High
Mightiness, Jeff. Davis, perched it on the tip of
her finger, and eyeing it askance, inquired in
the saucy spirit of mischief which her beauty;
and §tasfe gjuirafitelfl ifer: fiit el^”
"So, it’s warranted not to bite,” he said,*
smiling at the ;6d‘diiess ofherqueStioii:' ;
“ How long are you rebels going to stay here ?”
she continued. ' ' :;:
“ Are.youin hasrte.to hiiye.,qs go?r ; We shall
protect ydd tts eardMly as M youf'o#n army
would do.”
" Perhaps so, but we don’t need protection,
and that is not the object of your cowing.” .
“We propose to make a tour of the North,
partly on business, and partly for pleasure. ”
“Well, but ho# long will' it takojrdu to ac
complish your plans ? ”
“Really, I could not say, perhaps six weeks,
perhaps all summer. Possibly we may like ij so
well weinay nevergobaek.” - - - :
“No,” she said, with a burst of passionate
impulse, "I hope you never will get back, but
that your bones will strew the, way, and bleach
in the sun all the way frohi here to' the Poto
mac*” ,
‘.‘You are very bitter. I should have ex
pected that from a Yankee lady, but hardly from
you.” ,
"I am from the opposite extreme, from lowa,
but I hate a rebel worse than the Yankees do.
Yoh are rebelling agaihfti df lGldd; - and
the kindness of,roan.” .... ...
“ Lady,' yon 1 don’t consider what you' say.
Those are fearful words.”
“ I know they are, hut I still repeat that I
hope not ipne, ,qf escape- to. carry the
tidings. Ybu had hb right to come here, and
destroy our homes, and take away our friends;
and leave nothing hutAespl&tion inyour track.
You maynqt hope for the blessing of Cf bd upon
your undehakihg.” ~;
“Lady,” be answered, while a tear sprang to
his eye, “I should not be found here to-dav,
had not your army found its way to my. home
add desolated it. I have a beautiml young wife,
fair as the beauty of heaven, loving, arid tenderly
loved, but even her they did not spare, but well
nigh broke her. heart with fear and sorrow.
Then I resolved to forfeit my life, or avenge the
wrong. I determined that the homes of the
North should feel the power of the invader’s
hand, if my single strength could accomplish it

“Do you expect God will forgive you ? ”
‘ i trust I have a Father in heaven who has
forgiveness for me, for I am conscious of doing
only my duty, and does not that always meet

duty brought me here, and will sustain me to
the end. But if I fall, I should hardly expect
you to minister to me. Would you comfort a

Those ¥dtdr of the officer
rang in heir ears like a fatality. What could he
mean? He surely was not so unspldierly as to
seek personal revenge, but yet the soul of the
young girl, whom scarcely any danger daunted,
was filled with unrest.
For SCvefftl days iff remained in. quiet sus

were moving to and fro like the surging of enor

upon the people; and those supplies that were
hot willingly granted, Were forcibly taken, until
all began to look anxiously for the time and

LORD BROUGHAM OH SLAVERY.
No man is better entitled to speak upon such

the slave-trade as piracy, and the philanthropist
whose splendid efforts' in the ripeness of his

Northern States having “confessed” that they

we wish to know what his course wpuld have

4 f do thhrmore readily in regard to Hoofiand’s German Bitten, _pre*
pared by!l>r.'C. M. Jackson, of this city, because ! was prejudiced
against them for many years, under the Impression that they were
chiefly ah alcoholic mixture. I am indebted to mv friend Robert
Shoemaker, Bsq., for ; the removal of this prejudice by proper tests,
*nd«fbr encouragement to dry thorn, when Buffering from great and
long-continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at
the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief, and
restaratfoa. to a degree of bodily and mentaTvigor which I had net
feltfor six months,before, and had almost despaired of gaining. 1
therefore ttmnk'Obfr and myfnehcf fbrdirecting ine to the use of them.
