- For the Republican.
TO A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRL
Life's opening roses around you beam
brightly,
Your season of life is young June;
Sweet hopes fill your heart as it beats now
so lightly,
Beats time to life's rhythmical tune.
And "shall the dear hopes which so fondly you
A. 0. FURST
cherish,
Which now with such brilliancy glow,
E'er fade from your heart-as the sweet flow
re perish,
0 loveliest maiden, no ! no !
Yon bobolink bending the twig, softly sing
•
ing,
And sweetly excels not your lay;
Your silvery notes, so melodiously ringing
My he art irresistably sway.
And shall these rich musical accents be ever
Changed into sad warblings of woe ?
0 beantiful,lovely young songster! no never,
Dear, charming young singer, no ! no !
Yon bright fleecy cloud that is soaring in
ether,
Can move not so lightly as you;
Nor looks she on aught that's beneath her,
That's fairer, more lovely or true. -
And shall those light footsteps, so gracefu
and airy,
With sorrow be heavy and slow ?
That purity stained by 'dark sin, pretty
Fairy ?
Dear, sweet, pretty. Fairy, vo ! no !
The " wee little lambkin," which o'er the
green meadow
Plays pranks in its frolicsome glee,
Knows more of life's sorrow, grief's terrible
shadow,
Than ever have visited thee. "
Shall clouds of grief's gloom o'er thy firma
ment thicken,
The sun of thy gladness sink low,
Thy heart with dark sorrow be cruelly
- stricken ?
Dear, bonny, bright. maiden, no ! no!
Ptxs GT:OVE MILLS, Aug. 11, 1860.

" Thostars looked down, and what did I hey
see ?"
Two lovers beneath an orange tree;
The waving leaves above each heal,
Smiled at the silly words they said.
The gay darti of Cupid flew fast and sweet
* Asjhe lover knelt at the lady's feet,
And--Viaswed-tcc her4hia-depth f -hi s,loye,
By the mythological Gods above.
The vow was breathed, the goal was swim,
True lovers were they, but they were youno
The :tars look down, and what do they
see ?"
Two lovers are parting angrily, •
Both have proved false, and now thy) , part,
With broken rows wrapped in each heart.
He accused her of flirting young men,
And vows she will never flirt him again.
Her lofty spirit is shook with pride,
She vows she ne'er would have been the
bride
Of ono so suspicious as him—;
Now—they part in the twilight dim.
" The stars'll look down, and what will they
see ?"
A green grave under the orange tree
O'er broken vows the leaves will sigh,
While tears drop from the maiden's eye.
Alas, ene crushed heart, and a lonely grave
Will be the relicts of the lovers brave.
Thus frienship's vows are often broken,—
Sweet words are forgotten that once were
spoken,
And paths sever, through pride and rife,
Which, side by side, she'd wind thro'life.

On the morning of May 10th, 1864, a
day ever memorable in our annals, there
was enough of preparation visible to
make it certain we were to attack the
enemy, who were strongly posted, and
fortified, in our front. Three companies
had been detailed from the regiment;
one,' the writer's, was posted on our
flank, as skirmishers, to prevent a sud
den movement upon our flank, with spe
cial instructions as to the duty expected
of them, and Captains Quigley and Stu
art were sent with their Companies to
drive the enemy's skirmish line back to
their works, and enable our columns to
get closer to their works. Soon the work
of this bloody day commenced, and Stu
art and Quigley began to lose men rapid
ly, though they succeeded in accomplish
ing the task assigned them, and did it
gallantly. Their losses were so heavy,
and their task so hard, that they were
relieved by Captains Wakefield and
Wambacker, who also lost some men in
retaining their position against the ene
my's skirmishers, As it grew towards
evening, our regiment was mcved out,
along with eleven other regiments of the
division, and formed in a column, four
lines deep, and:three regiments front.--
They were to charge and go through the
lines of the enemy at a certain point near
Spottsylvania C. H. Gen. Upton was in
command of the attacking column. The
time came, the word was given, and
away went the troops, through the

brush, up the hill, and over an open
space into the rebel rifle pit. The men
fall rapidly under the enemy's fire, but
the charge was irresistable, and the ene
my's entire force posted in their pits in
our front, about one thousand, all fell in
our hands as prisoners. Three succes
sive lines of earthworks were gained,and
twelve guns were in our hands. The
column was in much confusion, for they
had encountered a terrible fire of artil
lery and musketry, and had a hand-to
hand fight in the works. Our Lt. Col.,
John B. Miles,•of Huntingdon, lay dead
already, just inside the rebel works, and
our wounded were working their way,
painfully, to the rear. The struggle had
been short, but severe; and our men
cheered, in unwonted enthusiasm ; as
they sent their thousand captured rebels
to the rear. For a few minutes there
was a quiet—a sort of :ull in conflict—
and then, from the front, end both flanks.
the enemy rushed upon the boldTankees
who hail penetrated their works, with
Tremendous force and in overpowering
numbers. They did not get us out with
out a sharp, and, indeed, most bloody
struggle. Our men fought for their hard
earned foot-hold desperately, but they
had no help on either flans . , and were
driven out, and back, witb very great
losses. Capt. Kephart, who was beyond
the enemy's Artillery, fell, mortally
wounded, and was left, dying, farthest
ahead of all our men. Col. Hulings,our
commanding officer, endeavoring to rally
a force to check the advance of a column
of rebels, fell, killed, while but few of
the men who had gathered about escaped
the effects of 'the volley that swept their
position. Capt. Barr was successfully
rescued, wounded, and carried to the
rear, but afterwards died, and Lt. Lytle
was left in the enemy's bands, mortally
hurt, as it proved afterwards. Driven
back, we found that we had lost, by this
one evening's fight, in not more then a
half hour, almost one-half our regiment.
Five officers were killed, including Col
onel and Lt. Colonel. Eleven were wound
de,l; some of them severely. Eighty one
men were killed, to a eettaittly. One
hundred and foul were missing, and
many of them were, prehlbly, killed or
wounded, and we had one, hundred and
seventy-two wounded in our own bands
Our camp was very desolate that night,
and it scarcely seemed like the old 4Pth.
Some of the slightly wounded remained
on duty, or we could not, after these five
days of the Wilderness, have mustered
one half of the seven hundred and thirty
muskets with which we started out.
We failed even to secure possession of
thqL ground, and so h,st the bodie,9 o
our comrades and commanding racer-,
ncr have the graves of any of therii ever
been recognized. Their bones have been
gathered up and buried, but their graves
are among the legion that are marked
"unknown."
Col. Thos. M. Rulings was a member
of the Mifflin county Bar; had gone into
the service with the Logan Guards of
Lewistown. as Ist Lieutenant, in April,
1861. This was the first volunteer com
pany to reach Washington, and suffered
all sorts of indignities in passing thro'
Baltimore, April 18, from the mob who
attacked and murdered some of the 6th
Massachusetts regiment next day. Col.
Rulings assisted in organizing our regi
ment, taking the commission of Major.
He was made Lt.. Colonel on the resigna
tion of Lt. Col. Brisbane, and Colonel on
the filling up of the Regiment, in place
of Col. Irwin, resigned, fL short time be
fore his death. Ile•was universally and
deservedly esteemed by both officers and
men, and was particularly distinguished
for his coolness and courage in battle.
Lt. Col. John B. Miles entered the ser
vice as Captain of company C, which he
organized in Huntingdon. He was pro
moted to Major, and Lt. Colonel, succes
sively, at the same time that Col. Hu
liege took his higher commissions. He
was a very energetic and efficient officer;
strict in requiring perfect discipline
amongst his subordinates, but always
treating his
. comrades with courtesy and
politeness. -He was a man of liberal ed
ucation and fine feelings, and was brave,
even to rashness.
Capt Wm. P. Kephart entered the
service in company G, and was promoted
to the rank of Sergeant. Being amongst
the supernumeraries detailed for the re
cruiting service, he was so energetio iu
prosecuting his labors as to. succeed in
recruiting a company in Snyder county,
of which he was made Captain. This
was the first campaign for his company,
which was a very fine one, and was most
gallantly led by their commander. He
fell beyond the guns of the enemy, from
Which he had driven them, shot through
the body, His comrades were compelled
to leave him there dying. He was a most
excellent soldier and good officer, and
was very much in earnest in his devo
tion to the cause for which he fought.—
All three of these officers had served
during the war.
Capt. Robert G. Barr, who died of his
wound soon after the fight, had been pro
moted, also, from the ranks, and had
commanded his company but a brief time
when he received the fatal wound. He
was a modest, quiet and unassuming
gentleman; was a brave and careful sol
dier, a consistent christian, and was as
universally mourned, as he bad been uni
versally loved and respected.
Lt. Decatur H. Lytle, of Huntingdon,
fell near the close of the action, inside
the works of the enemy, shot through
the lungs, and was left in the enemy's
hands,' supposed to be dying. It was
ascertained afterwards that he lived a
considerable length of time it a hospi-
tal near Spottsylvania. What his history
and experience there was, we shall prob
ably never know. He was a cheerful
companion, brave man, and deierved a
better fate than he met.
We buried those of our dead we . had
rescued from the enemy, on the 11th of
May, when all was quiet along the lines;
we sent our wounded back to the new
created hospitals, or to Fredericksburg,
and occupied our time in discussing our
great struggle, and our great calamity,
and in preparing for the conflict of the
days to come. We did not know what a
day might bring forth, and we certainly
did not look for such a struggle again,
as we met at Spottsylvania on the 12th
day of May.

Coincidences.
The following is taken from the N..Y
Evening Post, having appeared in tha
paper in 1846
"We were struck, the other day, in
looking at a work called the Lives of the
Presidents, with a few curious coinci
dences of numbers which relate to the
line of five Presidents, beginning and
ending with an Adams. Here is a table,
for instance,of the periods in which they
were born and went out of office
Born
Retired.
1735, John Adams, 1801.
1743, Thomas Jefferson, 1809.
1751, Tames Madison, 1817.
:759, James Monroe, 1826.
1767, John Q. Adams, 1829.
Now it will be seen by this, that Jef
ferson was born just eight years after
his predecessor Adams ; . Madison eight
after his predecessor Jefferson ; Monroe
eight• after Madison, and Jobn Quincy
Adams eight years after Monroe. An:
other curious fact to be observed is;that
Adams was just sixty-six years old When
he retired; Jefferson was sixty-Six;
Madison was sixty-six ; Monroe was six
ty-six; and John Quincy Adams, had he
been elected to a second term we'd have
been sixty-six. Adams, Jefferson, and
Monroe all died on the fourth of July.
Macu.uvios' IVives.—lt is in the mid
dle ranks of life,where we behold woman
in-all her glory—sot a doll to carry silks
and jewels ; not a puppet to be flattered
by profane adorntion;reverenced to-day,
discarded to morrow; admired but not
esteemed ; ruling by passion, net affec
tion; imparting her weakness, not her
constancy, to the sex she would exhalt ;
the source and miror of vanity—we see
her as a wife, partaking the cares and
cheering the anxieties of a husband ;.di
viding his toils, by her domestic dilli
gence; spreading cheerfulness around
hei-, for her sake; sharing the decent re
finements of the world without being
proud of them ; placing all her joys and
happiness from the man she luves. As
a mother, we find her the affectionate,
the ardent instructress of the children
whom she has tended from their infancy; .
training them up to thought and virtue,
to piety and benevolence ; addressing
themas rational beings and preparing
them to become men and women in their
turn.. MeChanics' daughters should
make the best wives in the world.
DR. TYRO met an emigrant family go
ing West. On one of the wagons there
hung a jug with the bottom knocked out.
" What is that?" asked the Doctor.—
"Why it is my Taylor jug," said the
man. And what is a "Taylor jug ?" ask
ed the Doctor again. "I had a son in
Taylor's army in Mexico, and the Gen
eral always told him to carry his whis
ky jug with a hole in the bottom, and
that's it. It is the best invention I ever
met with for hard drinkere."
AN old lady, recently, in some court
before which the was brought as a wit
ness, when asked to take off her bonnet,
obstinately refused to do so, saying:—
." There is no law to compel a woman to
take off her bonnet." "Oh !" imprudent
ly replied one of the judges, "you know
the law, do you ; perhaps you would like
to come up and sit here, and teach
us ?" " No, I thank you, sir," said the
woman tartly, " there are old women
enough there now."
AN Irishman recently stopped at a ho
tel in Des Moines, lowa, where pretty
high bills were charged. In the morn
ing the landlord made out the amount of
damages and presented it to Pat. After
he had glanced over it, the latter looked
the landlord in the face, and exclaimed:
"You put me in mind of a snipe."
" Why ?" asked the landlord.
"Because ye're very nigh all bill."

ONE day Piron visited Voltaire, wto
was not at home. To bully him, he wrote
upon his door, "Old Rogue." Two days
after he met the author of 'the Henriade.
"I went to see you," said lie, with a
cunning look, "and did not find you."—
" I know it," replied Voltaire, "you left
your name upon the door."
