LOVE LIGHTENS LABOR.
A good wife rose from her bad one morn, •
And thought with a nervous dread
Of the piles of clothes to be washed, and
more
Than a dozen mouthes to be fed.
There's the meals to get for the men in the
• field,
And the children to fix away
To school, and the milk to be skimmed and
chitrned;
And all to be done this day.
A. 0. FU ST
It had rained in the night, and all the wood
Was wet as it could be;
Thero was *idings and pies to bake, be
sides
A loaf of cako for tea.
And this day-was hot and hor aching head
Throbbed wearily as she said,
"If maidens' but know what good wives'
know,
They would be in no haste to wed!"
"Jennie, what do you think I told Ben
Brown ? "
Called the farmer from the well;
And a flush crept to his bronzed brow,
And his eyes half bashfully fell;
It was this," he said, and coming near,
He smiled, and stooping down,
Kissed her scheek—"' twas this, that yon
were the best,
And the dearest wife in town ! "
The farmer went back to the field, and the
wife,
In a smiling and absent way,-
Sung snaches of tender littlo songs,
She'd not sung for many a day,
And the pain in her head was gone, and the
clothes
Were white as the foam of the sea;
nor bread was light, and her butter was
sweet,
And as golden as it could be.
" Just think;" the children all cried in a
breath
" Tom Wood has run off to sea!
lie 'wouldn't., I know, if he only had
As happy a home as we."
The night came down, and the good wife
smiled.
To herself, as she said:
" Tis so sweet to l'tbur for those we love,
It's not strange that maidens wed ! "

On the East of the railroad was a low
meadow land, and West, a considerable
bluff, falling off precipitously to the
river, and more gradually towards us.—
On the bluffs the rebels had two redoubts,
and, in each, two guns, with a rifle pit
extending up, and parallel with the
river, which receded towards the West.
They had, also, a Fort on the South
bank of the river, commanding these
redoubts, and a pontoon bridge laid
across the dam. In the works were the
Louisiana Artillery, and in the rifle Fits
Hay's and Hoke's brigades, about seven

mishers were relieved by the Gth Maine,
and the whole brigade were formed in
line of battle, and preparations made,
apparently to attack the enemy, but we
did not think then that an at tack would
be made, as the sun was setting, and
night was not far off. The enemy seem
ed to have the same idea, and everything
appeared peaceful. Gen. Russell, who
was temporarily in command of the di
vision, Bent Gen. Wright a message say
ing that, with his permission, he would,
with his old brigade, capture the enemy
in our front. Permission was given,and
we began to move slowly forward. So
little did any of our men or officers an
ticipate an attack. that a large number
of our troops had not loaded their pieces,
not having been ordered to do so. and
being too old soldiers to do anything
unless ordered. Between us and the
enemy were two ditches; one dry, and
the other with from one to three feet of
water, at different rlaces, and about ten
feet wide.
We moved across the plain very quiet
ly, until, emerging from the woods, the
enemy saw that we meant fight, and we
saw also that our advance was in earnest.
The skirmishers, whom the rebels, not
anticipating such a move, had allowed
to come within about a hundred yards
of their lines, suddendly charged the
redoubts, and were in them, almost be
fore the astonished rebels realized that.
the attack. was something more than a
feint• The line of battle, formed of the
sth Wisconsin on the left, and the 49th
and 119th Penn'a on the right, followed
the line of skirmishers closely. After
getting over the big ditch, the men who
had not loaded their pieces, made that
fact known, and a brief halt to load was
ordered — . The air was full of balls, shell
and shot, and the gathering darkness
was almost neutralized by the blaze of
the enemy's fire.
Just as we were starting on the charge
up the hill, and just as our skirmishers
began to secure a foothold in their
works, Gen. Russell rode to the front of
the Colors of our regiment, and ordered
the writer to follow him, and to tell the
color-bearer to follow, as the enemy were
trying to turn our right flank, and were
charging out of their rifle-pits. This
took off the right wing of, our regiment
from the left, and placed it on the right

of the line. We followed our command
er up the hill amidst a lively fire, and,
as per order, lost no time in getting to
the works, not even stopping to fire a
shot. Our comrades on the left had got
the redoubts and guns, and the rebels
were driven up to the bridge. We took
the bridge and rifle-pit, and, lying down,
held it, and prevented their crossing by
raking it with our fire at every attempt
to pass it. Notwithstanding the rebel
leader, Gen'l Hays, rode over under our
fire, and escaped. Our brigade, had lost
many men and officers, but our victory
was secure. After some fitful firing
upon the approach of another brigade
on our right, they lay down their arms;
and marched out prisoners. We had
about 1600 of them, with 8 colors,. 4
guns, and near two thousand small
arms. Some few mounted officers es
caped, and they had cruelly cut the
throats of several valuable horses to pre
vent our getting them. When it is re
membered that wo had only 1350 men in
our brigadeoind that we lost about 300
in the fight, the victory won over supe
rior numbers, entrenched, and the cap
ture of their whole force and material,
was an achievement not paralleled in the
war, and over which the old brigade felt
particularly well. Our gallant leader,
Gen Russell, who was not lavish of
compliments, praised us very highly for
this evening's work. The darkness,:and
confusion of our sudden charge,no doubt,
aided us,sas-the enemy had no accurate
idea of our numbers, or the situation of
affairs after we got the bridge. The bri
gado was under the immediate command
of Col. Ellmaker of the 119th; but the
attack was supervised by Gen. Russell
in person. We lost, in 'killed, Capt.
Hodgson, of the 119th; Capt. Walker, of
the sth Wisoonsin: Capt. Furlong of the
6th Maine, and several other commiss
ioned offibers, while Gen. Russel was
wounded in the foot, and his aid, Capt.
Russell, severely wounded in the side,
while Lt. Col. 'Harris, of the 6th Maine,
was so badly shot that he was perma
nently disabled from service, and came
near losing his life. Tho following offi

as flankers, the balance of the regiment
acting as a reserve.
The regiment proceeded in this order
until we arrived near the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad, one mile from Rap

Next day after the fight we crossed
the river on the bridge we took from the
rebels, whit% they had unsuccessfully
tried to burn in the night, and marched
to Brandy Station. Here we drove the
rebels from their camps in such haste
that some of them Jett their rations cook
ing on the fire, and some even their arms.
We picked up a straggler with a new
Enfield rifle, who said he wanted to go
home, and quit; and supposed, as Ire
held Vicksburg now, where his home
was, that the best way to got there, was
to surrender to us. We thought it like
ly he would be a good while getting
home by this route. Here we went into
camp, as it proved, for the winter, tho'
we made one advance from this point to
Mine Run afterwards, and returned
without a fight.

Men--Now, and Then.
BY "sicinE."
Yes, mankind is doubtless degenera
ting. As a class, the men of to-day are
far inferior, in some respects, to their
forefathers of a hundred years ago. Of
course, there are exceptions. Occasion
ally the eye is gladdened with the sight
of a model man—one with florid features,
tinted according to nature's law—a well
rounded form, moulded in nature's work
shop—a bright eye and elastic step, the
offspring of temperance in all things—and
what a contrast he presents to the great
army of men we meet.daily, with flushed
countenances, superinduced by nightly
orgies around the wine table, lusty forms,
bloated by beer, bleared - eyes and falter
ing steps, whiskey's traveling advertise
ments. But 'tis not only a want of tem
perate conduct in the above direction.
Other, many other causes place the men
of to-day—the men of now—below the
men of then. What a ridiculous figure
would they cut, were the men of the
present thrown back to occupy the posi
tions held and honored by the hardy pi
oneers of an hundred years ago. Just
thinU Imagine your city sport in pa
tent leathers, chopping off the primeval
forest, to clear the land whereon to cul
tivate his bread I Imagine the cockney
in kids and goggles, holding the plough,
while the patient oxen toil on amid roots
and brush to stir the virgin soil! Imag
ine the fop, with his hair parted in the
middle, bowing and smiling behind the
counter, wading three feet of snow, with
his rifle on his shoulder, to procure meat
for a family. But . enough of this. 'Tis
useless to multiply contrasts. Let us
follow him from youth up. At fifteen,
and very, very often before he cuts him
selfloose fromhis mother's apron-strings,
oils his hair, sets his hat to one side,
thrusts his thumbs into his breeches'
pockets, and struts along the street with
all the importance of a John Jacob As
ter. He is a mushroon, so to speak, for
ho contemplates only present existence.
At eighteen, all trace of boyhood has
vanished from his eye. He finds him
self rigged out in fashion's most approv
ed style. He rises at 9 a. m., spends
half an hour befere the glass, admiring
his new neck-tie, or studying how best
to tip his hat to darling Angelina. Ho
then eats his breakfast and saunters up
street. All his talk is about that little
"angel" of his dawn town, and now be
gins that most c - imieal period in the'fel-
low's history—the period when he be:
gins to sigh because of that which he
thinks is love. Poor little fellow ! But
we pass on. Seyenteen finds him at a
boarding-school. Indulgent papa has
supplied him plentifully with spending
money, and he is now in his glory. His
"governor," as he is wont to style his
father, is not near to watch his move
ments. His time is spent with sports,
like himself, down town, when he can
evade the eyes of watchful Professors,or
in sham sickness in his room. Such a
time as the future, ho never thinks of,
and preparation is, therefore, in conse
quence, beyond his comprehension.—
Eighteen finds him grown to - the stature
of a man, and stature only, for there is
not one element of true manhood in him.
No true moman, let me tell you, young
man, wants a brainless fop for a husband.
They look for worth. Only such as are
your equals, will join hands with you in
marriage; and then, 0, with what &pro
geny is earth cursed—the offspring of
such an union! Eighteen ! Happy age !
He stands before the glass, and feels an
electric thrill, as he notices a few hairs
on that hitherto innocent upper lip of
his, albeit they look as lonely as a score
of mullen stalks in a ten acre field. 0,
what would he not give for siieh a mus
tache as adorns the face of Tom, Dick or
Harry! Now ho rushes to a shaving sa
loon, enters with a pompous tread, and
demands a shave. What unutterable
pride is his when, for the first time, the
keen blade of the barber glides over his
lathered phiz ! With what a self-impor
tant flourish he passes over that dime he
drew from his vest pocket! Now he is
a man, and no mistake; for hasn't he
been shared? But we pasi on hurriedly.
He is twenty. See that dapper little fel
low behind his father's counter yonder,
with a "love of a moustache," tight
pants, fancy vest and fancy fob, short
coat and foppish et ceteras, as he descants
upon his goods to the silly young ladies
who came, not to buy, but to see his "di
vino moustache." Hear his silly twad
dle : "Vewy, vewy cheap, I assuwe you.
Just heaw in the last steamaw, you know;
puaw Bwussels lace; ordewed purpose
ly few this firm; the vewy best material,
I assuwe you, in the mawket." Is he a
man, or is he only an automaton—a mas
culine dry-goods sign, capable of being
shifted about at the will of an owner?—
We are sorry to answer, he is.st man, as
far as stature goes to'make the man; for,
as we said, there is not one element of
true manhood in him. But the truth is
patent to everyone. Many of our young
men, these days, live but to bask in the
smiles of their loves, with no thought of
the day when papa's purse-strings may
be held by less indulgent fingers—when
they must breast the storm an unfeeling
world holds in reserve for them. They
spend their time as though life was Lobe
but a continuation of the butterfly exis
tence of to-day, and take no thought of
breakers ahead, which may capsize their
life-bark, and leave them in mid-ocean,
ignorant of life's seamanship, and un
taught in the noble principles of self-re
liant manhood. Young lady, do you
want to link yourself, for life, to such a

Tattlers Please Notice This.
Every community is cursed with . the"
presence of a class of people who make:
it their concern to attend to everybody's
business but their own. These people
are the meanest, lowest and vilest sPb: .
eimens of humanity which Providence
permits to live. It is known that a large
class of persons are disposed to speak
ill of others, and tattling is a sin from
which few claim to be entirely exempt,'
but there . is a distinct class of tattlers
whose chief aim it is to make tale-bear
ing the constant pursuit of their lives.
They pry into tho private affairs of every
family in the neighborhood. They know -
the exact state of a neighbor's feelings
towards another. They understand .
everybody's faults; no blunder or impro
priety escapes .their • vigilant watchful
ness. They are particularly posted up
in everything connected with courtship
and matrimony; know who are to marry,
and can guess the •exact time when it is
to take place. They watch every move
of parties suspected of matrimonial in
tention, and if there is the slightest
chance to create a disturbance, they take
immediate advantage of it. They try to
excite jealousy, or, if possible, to break
up a match, and do all in their power to
keep up a constant quarrel. They go
from gentleman to lady, from mother to
dau Litter, from father to son and in the
ears of all, they pour black and bitter
whispers of slander and .abuse, and, at
the same Limo, pretend to be the best of
friends of those with whom they are
talking. Their black and nauseous pills
of malicious. slander are coated with
smiles and professions of love. Tattlers
are confined to no particular class of so
ciety. - They belong to all classes, and
operate in all. We find them among the
rich, and among the poor; the "upper
ten," and tho "lower million;,' in the
church, and out of it. They are people
who have no higher ambition than to be
well informed in regard to the other peo
ple's business; to retail scandal to their
neighbors, and exult in their fiendish
triumphs over the bruised heart and
wounded ieelingsof a victim. Contempt
of such unprincipled creatures should
know no bounds. They are worse than
the lowest class of thieves, and should be -
despised by every lover of peace and
quietness; but no words can express our
hatred for them. What punishment they
deserve - , we do not know; but God knows;
'and as sure as eternal justice reigns,
they will receive-retribution in propor
tion to the magnitude of their offences
against the law of God, and the interests
of injured humanity. Slanderers, ponder - -
and reflect, and turn from your evil whys
before it-is too late, for the scriptUraa'
tell us that "all liars and mischief mak
era shall have their place in the lakiC of
fire burning with brimstone."

filthy lucre will predominate.
In one of the farming communities
lived friend Benjamin and his son, It
was their custom to buy up cattle to fat= .
ten for sale.
. .
One day Benjamin junior 'had selected
a choice portion of stock front the pestl
ing drove, and was about' to buy; when'
Benjamin senior came eking.
" Father, I'm about to buy these cattr4;
what does thee think of them?"
"What does he ask
Upon being told by the son, the' elder
Ben continued—
"So much ? I guess thee'll get them
for lees; offer him $BOO, and Wait.' till
morning, if he don't trade."
Filial Benjamin assentedZ.—Made an
effort in vain. Went home with the old
gentleman—slept—and, neit Morning,
after caring for the stock; mounted his
horse to try and buy'the'cattle. But on
the way he met Benjamin senior,return
ing home with the whole 'herd' in ques
tion. Benjamin. senior was wealthy as
well as smart—he had' taken' an early
start and bought the lot,
"Thee will let we have my portion,
will thee not?', asked filial Bon.
"No sonny, of course not; I've bought
the whole—want 'em all."
"What I isn't that a hard trick to play
thy own son ? and I trusted to thee !"
"Ah, Benny, said . pater familias, re
provingly, "thee he sharp and wide
awake; trust nobody, Benjamin, Wat c h
thy father, Benjamin, watch thy father !"
Quito likely, for young Benjamin tho
admonition was needless thenceforward.
