LINES fiN A SKELETON,
This poem a• Acl in the London Morning
Cbro.,icl Ay years ago. A reward of
fifty guin Failed to bring out its author
ship nor is it yet known.
Behold this ruin ! 'Twas a skull,
Once of ethcrial spirit fall;
This narrow cell was Lifo's retreat,
This space was Thought's mysterious scat.
What beauteous visions filled this spot,
What dreams of pleasure long forgot,
Nor Hope, nor Loco, nor Joy, nor Fear,
Have left Lne trace of record here.
lEEEEMES
Beneath this mouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye •
But start not at the dismal void—
If social Love that eye employed,
If with no lawless fire it gleamed,
But through the•dews of kindness beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and sun are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready swift and tuneful tongue.
If Falsehood's honey is disdained,
And when it could not praise, was chained;
If bold in Virtue's cause it spoke,
Yet gentle Concord never broke !
This silent tongue shall plead for thee
When Time unvails Eternity.
Say, did those fingers delve the mine?
Or with its envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock, or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to tlifin,
But if the page of Truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourning brought,
These hands a richer mead shall claim
Thou all that wait on Wealth or Fame
Avails it., whether bare or shod,
These fiot the paths of Duty trod?
If Int in the b ,, wers of Eace they fled,
To sect hu•nble :hed ;
It Grandeur's guilty bribe they spurned,
A d Bowe to Virtue's cot returned,

May 7. 1563, we returned to cur old
camp at White Oak Church, and s.ettled
down for a time in apparent. ioll.
The emmmer heat began to ()Kress the
men, aad - we - .. 4 e, ,busy -in. providing:
shelters for our streets and quarters, and
g• tting our troops again is sidspe for fu
ture fiction. Nothing of moment occur
ed in camp, until June 2,when, on account
of some dissatisfaction arising from the
beeaking up of companies, by the con
solidation of the regiment, and on tic
count of some personal feeling excited
against some of the officers, we had a row
in camp at night, that threatened at one
Limo to be serious. It. was soon sup
pressed, however, and the leaders pun
ished, though not with particular sever
ity. A few days after, the writer, while
bathing, was stoned by some persons.
concealed in the woods, but no harm was
done, and that was the first and last se
rious trouble, or anything approaching
mutiny, we ever had in the regiment.
The only one of the men who was detect
ed, was'reieased, after a Lime, on the re
presentation of the officers, that he was
not an active leader in the trouble, and
had always been a good soldier. The
really guilty parties, after some time,
informed the writer of their connection
with it, and of the causes that led to it,
and never afterwards, in any way, made
trouble, but re-enlisted, in most cases
and fought out the war. .
June 4, it was evident we were 'about
to move, as the note of preparation had
been sounded, and we knew that Lee's
Cavalry had moved north, and it was
supposed that his Infantry would soon
follow. He still kept a force in our front,
but they were so plainly to be seen that,
-we inferred they were making a show of
strength, while their main body went
north. on our right. So, on June 0, we
marched to, and across the river, and
cammenced to build rifle pits, and pre
pare for the enemy. The sixth corps re
mained here in front of Longstreet's
corps until June H. nothine being done
in +he toenntime by either to c l inage ,h e
, i•uation. but both trying 1., deceive ilie
..they, as ft , their strength and purpose
On this tilLitt we re-crossed the river,

ed the various stores, fonts, 6:0 wee
graRCI. We had preaching, here on the
14th, and marched, the same evening,to
Stafford Court House which, like all
Virginia Court Houses, consisted of a
tavern, a small court-room, a little stone
jail, which was burning as we passed,
and a house or two.
Here we found our old balloon, of
which so much was expected in the way
of making reconnoisances, and which
had proved so complete a failure that it
was here allowed finally and forever to
collapse, much to the discommoding of
the fancy Colonel whose balloon opera
tions had figured so conspicuously in the
papers, and been so little. use to us, and
to whom this breaking down of the pet
humbug, meant the loss of a soft and
comfortabl6place in Miele Sam's service.
June 15, we moved again, starting
early, and had a hard march, through
dust and heat, to.Dumphries. Itwas now
known that we were going North to meet
our old foes on ground of their choosing.
The rest of the army was ahead, and we
were moved rapidly to join them, having
been held back to deceive them as to our
purposes. We kept. nearer our own Capi
tal, and, moving by a shorter route, also
protected the rear of our army, to some
extent, from Cavalry attacks.
June 16, we had a more pleasant. clay,
and a better road, and arrived at Occo
quan river at noon, having marched six
teen miles. Here, two hours, for rest.
dinner, &c., was given the men, and
soon thousands were in the clear, bright.
water, bathing, washing clothes, and en
joying the luxury of cool, clear water,
as only a dusty, tired, dirty soldier can.
In the evening we moved on to Fairfax
Court House. and heard from some of
the other corps of the army,• and also
that the enemy were crossing Maryland
into Pennsylvania. The men were great
ly excited, and cheered enthusiastically
at the intelligence that they should next
meet the rebels on Pennsylvania soil
Here we moved camp, joining, again,our
old comrades, the Gth Maine and sth
Wisconsin, their Light Division organi
zation being entirely abandoned. We
now had the sth Wisconsin, 6th Maine.
49th and 119th Penu'a brigaded, under
command of Gen. David A. Russell. On
the ISth of June, we moved
.our Camp
again, to a pleasant wood, nearer the
Court Howe. and met a number of our
friends in the 2nd Cevalry. wham we
had seen but. seldom during our service.
On June 21, the Cavalry got. into some
trouble in oar front, the enemy seeming
inclined to force their way to the East
side of Bull Ruu Mountains, but the con
filet wits brief, and not very bloody.
June 25, we commenced our march
northward, suffering all day on account
at' the rain and mud. We encamped near
Dreinesville, and moved on next morn
ing t•o Edward's Ferry, whet e we crossed
!be river by pont eons We then en
camned, and moved next morning, by
way of Bennet vill, to Hyetstowm Md.,
having a considerable amount of rain
during the day, bad roads and toilsome
marching through fields.
Jung 29, we moved at 4, A. at by New
Market, Ridgcvny and Mt. Airy, to Wind
sor. a distance of twenty-six mlies, with
muddy reads, and some rain, all day.—
The air was full of all sort of rumors of
the enemy's movementse of the forming
of companies and regiments-at home; of
the loss of our State Capital; of the de
vailation of Cumberland Valley; of bat
tie7thletween cur trhi-ps in fiint, and the
enemy; of a change of commanders, and
all the other surmises eo rife in an hour
of uncertainty. The people generally,
in Maryland, seemed glad to see us. and
encouraged us to drive out the rebels
Probably for the reason that they want
ed the seat of war shifted to come other
locality, as they found it. expensive.
June 30, we moved out, and. passing
through Westminister, in the direction
of Hanover, Pa., where the enemy's Cav
alry were reported plundering the coun
try, encamped in the evening near Man
chester, and heard, anew,. rumors of the
apprbach of the rebels in Pennsylvania
The rain continued, at intervals, and the
roads were heavy. Next day, July 1, •
we remained in camp until near evening,
it seeming uncertain what we were next
to do, but before night we heard the guns
at Gettysburg, thirty-six miles aretty,and
at 9 o'clock, we knew that Reyn.dds was
killed, the Ist corps defeated, and that
we must make the thirty-six miles with
out a halt, and go to the aid of our com
rades. The great turning point, though
we knew it not, of our struggle, was
reached, and the time to decide th e gray
est of all political Issues was come. Our
long, eager march to Gettysburg—our
part in the fight—and the scenes that
followed must, however, have a chapter
of their own.
Tat: last joke at the expense of the
Pr. nch Society for the protection of
Animals is to the following effect:
A countryman armed with an immense
club presents himself before the Presi
dent of the society and claims the first
prize. Ile is askrd to describe the act
of humanity on which he founded his
claim.
" I saved the life of a wolf," replies
the countryman, "I might have killed
hint with this bindgeon;" and be swings
the vrearKin in the air to the intense dis
conifiture of the President.
"But where was the wolf?" inquires
the latter; "what, had he done to you'?"
Ile had just devoured my wife," was
the reply.
The Prel-ident rdlects an instant, and
then says:
" My friend I am of the opinion that
you have betn.FufFieicutly rewarded,"
'• I am rich enough," says Popo to
Swift, "and can afford to give away a
hundre.i pounds a year. I would not
crawl upon the earth without doing good.
I will enjoy the pleasure of what I give,.
by giving it alive, and seeing another
enjoy it. When I die, 1 should be asham
ed to leave enough for a monument, if a
waning friend is above the ground."
That speech of Pope is enough to im
mortalize him, independently of his phi
losophical verses.
A COUNTRYMAN took his seat at a tav
ern table, opposite to a gentleman who
was indulging in a bottle of wino. Bup
posing the - wine to be common property,
our unsophisticated country friend help
ed himself to it, with the gentleman's
glass. "That's cool !" exclaimed the
owner of the wine, indignantly. "Yes,"
replied the other; ''l should think there
was ice in it."

Harmonies of Providence
Abstract of a recent Lecture before the Fac
ulty and students of Aft. Union College,
by Rev. John Tonner,,A. all. .
By Harmonies of Providence 'I mean
the marvelous accord and blending of
God's attributes, manifesting his essen
tial nature, love, in every department of
his government. His name, God, signi
fies good: not derived from any special at
tribute, but the centralization of all. In
his administrations are apparent the
harsher features of justice, yet ever in
harmony with /Dye and goodness.. Though
the theme is boundless., a few illustra
tions must suffice.
In every acre of fog there is enough
electricity to destroy every living thing
on that acre; but so masked by goodness,
as to be discovered only by scientific ap
paratus. The sea is formed of gases
which, released from combination, would
produce general confit.gration; but they
are restrained in the interests of good
ness.. The atmosphere is composed -of
elements easily transformable into pois
onous, suffocating' compounds. The
winds might be let loose in tempests and
hurricanes, leveling forests, demolish
ing. houses, leaving only desolation in
their wake. The clouds, instead of re.
freshing
,the earth with mists and mod
erate showers, might fall in angry tor
rents; and, with devastating floods,sweep
all before them. The earth's internal
fires, bursting forth, might shatter the
surface at a stroke; or collapsing, bring
clown their ceiling, burying nations in
the burning abyss. Ilalf an hour's slum
ber, or withdrawal of Providence, and
who could measure a tithe of the disas
ter that would ensue ? lle who holds
the winds in his fists, and hides his
thunderbols in drifting vapor, -is good;•
else man would not be preserved amidst
the magazines of destruction!
In Eden's tragedy, justice and mercy
blend. Justice drove forth those who,
by transgression, had forfeited all; but
mercy placed cherubim and a flaming
sword over Eden's entrance, lest eating
from the tree of life he live forever, a
wretched life, depraved, at enmity with
Cod.
'ln the Scriptures, holiness is the aura
ming up of all the moral attributes of
the Divine Being. Ills wisdom and power
are conspicuous in all that addresses our
senses; the former in the adaptation of
means to ends, of parts to the harmony
of the whole; the latter attesting that
"by him were all things made." Minds
unlearned in the harmonies of nature,
oaiscouceiVing the relation that God sus
tains to his word and works, find in his
Providence many causes of complaint
They depreciate, disparage what God
himself has made and done. Even Carlo
tints, who should love all that he loves,
are sometimes thus guilty. This beauti
ful world of innumerable varieties, ani
mate and inanimate, of scenery and
sounds, fragrances and fruits, was not.
designed.to beget contempt for them, or
a reflection uron him who formed thorn
and us; but to inspire with wonder and
adoration of their author. To complain
of Providence_ or what God does, is to
find fault with Gad himself. Many of
our hymnists have aced a license scarce
ly allowable in speaking of the world.—
Some well-meaning Christians declaim
against the world, wishing they were
out of it; and others believe snch decrial
the vocal breathings of an advanced slate
•of grace. Should an artist of merit in
vit e.you to see tho choicest speciMens of
his genius and toil, would it be a proper
return for you to speak disparagingly of
his works, and in •his presence, too, as
many do of God's handiwork, in his'os,vn
palace of beauty and glory ?- .
There are sad pains, disappointments
and afflictions incident to this state of
being; yet the goot;, the beautiful, the
joyful greatly predominate. Instances
of hereditary ailments, of suffering from
the misconduct of others, seem hard
ships; but there is a compensating feature
in God's administration which adjusts
all such cases. Interests so varied and
complicated can only be .governed by
general laws now; but a period is fixed
when all shall be adjusted in harmony
with righteousness. Pains, aMictions,
deaths, viewed with candor, from an un
selfish etand point, reveal this harmony
of Providence.
Oar extreme sensitiveness, rendering
us so susceptible of pain, also gives ca
pacity for enjoyment. Who feels a pleas
ure, can feel a pain; who exults and is
joyful, can he also be sad. These sensi
bilities serve, also, another purpose, to
discipline and educate us. We come into
this ..world with everything to learn;
even to sit, stand, walk. We pay our tui
tion fee with many a fall and bruise in
our efforts to find that philosophical de
sideratum—the centre of gravity. The
senses, mediums of pleasure, avenues of
pain, arc also teachers, instructing us of
the world around us. •
Another point to be observed is, jus
tice, which affiy.es a penalty to every in
fraction of God's laws. These pains and
penalties are both punitive and discipli
nary, displaying a wonderful harmony
of justice and goodness. The most ap
palling calamity, and the most certain
to befall every one ; is death. We see it
first as a curse, a consequence of trans
gression. God's testimony against sin.

leaving, 'ts no more than is voluntarily
done almost daily on foreign shores by
the numerous emigrants who come to our
land. There is goodness in this going
away id death. It ends the trouble of
anguished hearts, quiets pains that for
y -ars have tortured, hushes heart-sores
in the silence of ear,-h, gives rest to limbs
grown weary with- the drudgery of daily
oil, closes eyes already dim with the
pressure of years. It is the lullaby of
the second childhood of decrepitude, and
saves the young from many a soar trial,
if not disastrous pilgrimage. Go we
must; ether generations want room, bur-
Ty ing "on, expecting to profit by our hav
ing lived before them. Jeremy Taylor
said: "Not our leaving, but the manner
of leaving, makes death so reliolting.''—
Surely to start on an eternal pilgrimage,
not knowing whither bound, is a desper
ate experiment. Yet the very manner
of leaving is a provision of goodness.—
Could we know the time or the circum
stances of our death, our duties would
be neglected, the purposes of our being
thwarted, motives to culture and devel
opment clipped, ambition unfledged, att.
gloom would fill the void.
One more general thought. An hon
est mind may inquire, "How can"•ftiture
eternal punishment, be in harmony with
the justice and goodness of God?" His
laws are the laws of goodness; good iu
their origin, their objects, -thiiir results.
Law must be authoritative; its dignity
must be maintained by punishment. It
is the prerogative of the law-giver to fix
the penalty. God says, "The soul that
sinnetb, it shall die." The penalty now
under consideration is eternal death.—
' in the divine administration, justice it
the vindication of goodness. It is alleged
that such a penalty is beyond the merit
of the offence, and unjust; or that there
is no just. proportion between the penalty
and the offence. But who can fix the de
merit of sin? Who measure its terpi
tude, as a basis from which to estimate
propoitions, but God himself? What do
we know about justice, except as learn
ed from God's word ? " Irreconcilable
with infinite goodness?" Man has a
probation here. If it is spent in rebel
lion, what shall be done with him ? He
must exist somewhere. Another proba
tion? Would be employ it better ?• Many
reasons to the contrary. Then where
should Ile go? God's wordstandspled4
ed to the holy of all the universe, that
their bliss E hall not be disturbed 'by hie
intrusion. "Nothing unholy nor unelean
shall enter there." God lens but one place
For
-the person of sin, a place pre - pared
for his enemies, an order of beings that
sinned without a tempter, and were lost
without a Saviour: The Scriptures give
it fearful names; it is terrible; it is the
prison -hone° of the universe. God's
' goodness, as well as justice, requires
this colonization of transgressors for
the purity and peace of other beings.—
Again, even, though eternally in that
world of woe, goodness will allow none to
suffer beyond desert. •• Ir. shalt be ac
cording to their works." 'As to the re
flection on God's justice and goodness
from this alleged disproportion, man is
placed where, it he comply with the laws
of God; his reward shall be life eternal.
But if he will not, what should the pen
alty he but forfeiture of the reward of
obedience? Then, when eternal life is
lost., eternal death ensues; when heaven
•is lost, a world of woe ensues. - •
Such reflections should assist us to see
the goodness of our God blended in great
harmony with what we are all too much
inclined to regard as the harsher and
severer features of his Providence. "It
is the Lord, let him do as seemeth good
unto him," is founded upon a proper
'conception; and the soul that earl thus
trust God, has the secret of happiness,
resulting from this wise conception of
Providence. Some are despondent—see•
only the dark side; ethers cheerful, al
ways and everywhere seeing something
to encourage, for which to be thankful.
The latter seem to be more in harmony
with Providence, and the whole tenor of
revelation. This is the legitimate fruit
of evangelical faith. While on the form
er, petulant and fault-finding, the vast
and astounding wonders of this mighty
museum in which we reside, are all lost.
Instead of looking up through nature's
wonders, through God's - providence of
harmonies, of sorrows and joys, of sick
ness and health, of losses and successes,
of living and dying, they close their eyes
and go all the day long bowed down;
really bringing a religion of good cheer,
of joy and happiness, into disrepute, as
something not to be desired.
A more Scriptural and intelligent view
of our circumstances is important to us
all. No matter how porteutious the
threatening cloud, its borders are tinged
with brightness indicative of sunshine
beyond. No matter how sore our trials,
sufferings and bereavements, which
might be much greater, the preponder
ance of undeserved blessings is greatly
in our favor.
Arms have been issued to nine new
military companies by Adjutant Genera}
McCreary, within the past few weeks.—
The companies are located at Reading,.
Boston, Scranton, Harrisburg, Pittstown
and Philadelphia..
