AitK.i, says :
The following feeling lines were wu'ttcn
by Father Abram -T. Ryau, in mexiorium of
a yoaner brother v. ho loll fhtin iQ the
war far Southern Ineleot-nd- ncc Never has
a fond mother's nobility ol siul, whoa strug
gling with love raid iluty, fe!jone forth more
rcsjilerai'jnt than ber's of vh an ot;r 'cv-laoss-crowned
licet' speaks in the fifth stan-7.-v
And never has fiateraai ait.?etion been
t-iaba'.iued in liueuap;e more beautifully tad
tlran in the openinqr of this sublime poem.
As we read the plaintive. words, we fancied
they were addressed not so much to the ears
of the living i.n to the Sjarit cf the fallen
one who sloops in las 'lonely battle grave.'
The rnau who can read this ode without
emotion ought not to be envied :''
Tuou art s-I. epkip:, brother, sk-pping,
Iu thy lonely battle grave.
Shadows o'er the past are creer.iig
Death, the Kraper, still id reaping
Yeais have swept, aod years are sweeping
Many a mcaiory iAaii inj ke-pin-,
"But I'm waiting ti!I and weeping
For :ny I'eantiful and Brave.
Wbtn the battle songs Wire chanted
And war's stirring tocsia pealed ;
15y whode 6ongo thy heart was haunted
And thy spirit, proud, undaunted.
Clamored wildly wiidiy panted
"Mother ! let my wisdi be granted ;
1 wilLjie'er be mocaed and taunti-d
That T feared to meet onr vaunted
Focmen ou the bloody field
"They are thronging, mother, thronging,
To a thou.-and rieldd of fame !
Let
me gc
'list wrong 'tis wrcngicg
God aud thee to crush this lung;
Uu the muster roll ot glory,
lu my country's future story,
On the field of battle gory.
I must consecrate my name.
'IItth.er, gird my sword about me ;
Kiss thy Boldior by good-bye. "
In her arms she wiidiy wound thee.
To thy birlhiand'ti cause she bound thee.
With fond prayers and blessings crmvnM
thee,
And he sobb'd "When fue surr.tnd
thte,
If you fall, I'll know they found thee
Where too l-ravtst love to died'
o a o u o a
At the altar of their nation
Stood that mother and htr Bon :
He the victim of oblation.
Panting for h; immolation ;
She 'in iriestess' holy station,
Weeping words of consecration.
White God smiled His approbation,
Utessed the boy's self-abiagation,
Cheered the niotLer's deso'ation,
When the sacrifice was d a.e.
Fotth like many a noble other,
Went he whispering soft and low
'Good-bye pray for me, my mother !
Mister kiss me! farewell bivthtr !"
And he strove his grief to sm ther.
Forth, with spirit proud aud peerless
Forth, with footsteps firm and fearle?3 ;
And bis parting gaze was tearless,
Though his h--art was ioi:e aud cheerless
.Thus from all he loved to go.
Lo! ycii flag of freedom S lAiing
In the sunny Southern fckj !
On to death and glory dashing
Oa where swords ate cUa- log cia -hia -
Oa
-where balls are crr.sai
is -cravat:'
a "mid peri's, dread. appuUmcr!
Oa th.y're fahrtg t'a' lin -i f.a'arot!
Ou they're grov ia:r fewer-- levari
Oa they're hearts beat all the true r ! '
On on on no fenr u i..k: , I
On though 'rouud the batiic-alta."
There are wounded victims gt
There were dying victims moaning
On right on dath danger braving
Warring where their llag was waving,
And baptismal blood was laving
With a tide of crimson water
All that field of death and
augater !
On fdbl on that bloody laver
Made them brave and made them braver;
Oq with never halt or waver
On they're battling bleeding bounding,
Wiiila the g'orious shout is Sounding
"Wo will win the fight or did!"
And thoy won it! Routed riven
Reeled the foeman'd proud array.
They had struggled kuig aad striven,
Blood in torrents they had given,
But tbtir rauks, dispersed and driven,
Fled disgracefully sway.
Many a heart was louely lying
There that would not throb again :
Some were dead and some were dying;
Some wore silent, sorrao vvcro eighiog;
Thus to die, lone, unattended,
Unwept and un befriended.
On that bloody battle plain.
When the twilight, sadly, slowly
Wrapped its mantle o'er them all !
O'er those thousands lying lowly.
Hushed in silence deep and holy,
There was one his blood was flowing,
And bis last of life was going
And his pulse faint fainter beating.
Told his hours were few and fleeting ;
And his brow grew white and whiter.
And his eyes shone bright and brighter
There be Jay like infant dreaming,
VYith his sword beside him gleaming;
For the hand in life that grasped it.
True to death still fondly clasped it.
There his comrades found him lying,
'Mid the beaps wf dead and dying ;
And the sternest there bent wt-eping.
O'er the lonely sleeper sleeping.
'Tvvaa the midnight; stars shone round
him ;
In a phroud of glory bound him ;
And they told us how they found-him,
Where the bravest love-to fall.
Where the woods like banners bending.
Drooped in glory and io gloom
There, when that sad night was ending,
And the faint, fair dawn was blending
With the ttars now descending
There they muta and mournful bore him
With the stars and shadows o'er him -Thorp
tbey laid him down so tender.

During the First French Empire every
regiment had its dt.g, whoie intelligence-,
ti.ai.kd to toe soldiers' care, ws improved
by education ml uiicipline. The Grand
Army's dogs were picked up almost eve
rywhere, except in England. They hal
been recruited sr. Folawd. in Prussia, in
Holland, in Saxony, and in Flanders.
'1 hey were mongrel mastiffs, hounds, Da
nish dogs, spaniels. Ilut no matter whence
they came, they soon turned out French.
Foreign tlegs were naturalized without
knowing it.
Rug. ii is an island in the Ha! tic sen,
opposite to Slralsund, on the coast of
Pomeran. Fortified both by nature and
by art, its situation is exceedingly strung.
In time of pence, in conseqaei.ee of its
fertile soil, its salubrious air nnd its mild
climate, Etigen is a delightful retr.;al. In
time cf wr.r it is an important post, a nat
ural citadel, a formidable .ortre?, whoso
possession has been purchased at lis.: ex
pense of many a bloody liht. Dating
the campaign of 18(J7 this" island waa
comprised in their sphere cf operations by
the corps commanded by Marshal Da
voust, and was occupied by an infantry
regiment cf the line and by several com
panies of sappers and miners. The regi
ment, of course, had a dog a black and
white poodle named Crpucin not be
cause be was born in a Capuchin's con
vent in Italy, (which would have been
quite a Mifricient reason,) but in allusion
to the copper cr iron rings by which a
gun-bar rci is fastened to its stock. The
dog's short bark might perhaps have been
thought to resemble the snappish report cf
rnusket.
In conscqncnce of a change, in the 'an
of operations ordered by Napoleon the
Fittt, the island bad to be suddenly evac
uated, to carry cut a movement in retreat,
abandoning the w hole line of the Pomera
nian roar-t. Every postevery man, was
withdrawn, but in such a hasty way that
they far-rot an advanced gontiuel perched
011 a hillock which commanded the en
trance of the port of Rugen. This suv.'i
nel was a young soldier named Firruin
lionnrd, who had been thtee jc-ars in the
service. At present, a soldier who has
served three j-enrs is eaiisiJcrcd quite a
veteran ; at that time, troopers who could
reckon tnree, live, seven, aud even nine
years of service, were still called con
scripts. Now, Ronatd the soldier and
Capuciu the do"-, luij senctl to be partieu
l tr good friends, boar.d bv tho strongest
h'-s i-i mutual attachment.
Tilt corporal of the past had stationed
Fnmin as tenline! on the hillock exactly
at midnight. The latter, therefore, cal
culated on being relieved at two in the
laoiTiingv lie then, from two Jo five in
the. raoioin;;, would have three hours to
dctse .and shun her in the coips oi' guard, j
So F'.rmin Hon .-d beguiled the lime by !
anticipating this suiprema indulgence, rnd 1
!-y thoo.;h!s of his vilieg-j people, of his j
aged cure's r.ncient housekeeper, of the
h.avsta?!-. where he used to tde.v fit Li ie
and -t-.ek, and tan. dry either recollections.
In this lae minutes ?iip;cd slowly by, an-.

All at once he heard a slight , noise

to relieve guard," he thought, said prepared
to utter the "Q-.ti Vive." Hut the sound,

was soon to. lowed by complete silence,
'I couldn't he mistaken," he said to him
s.lt i '-besides, my time must now bo up."
He listened again, mill more attentively.
Almost immediately he board the barking
of a dog, who came running forward in
his direction. On recognizing Cupacm's
voice the sentinel looked around him anx
iously. Perceiving nothing which threat
ened an attack, he wondered what could
be the meaning of this nocturnal visit.
Refore he had lime to consider the matter
the animal had climbed the hill and was
jumping up his leg3.
"it's you, Capuciii. Very good. You
got tired of waiting there ; and I am tired
of standing here. The air is keen and 1
am terribly sleepy. You should have
brought the corporal with you. His watch
must have stopped. lie ought to sell it
for old iron and buy a new one."
Capucin's answer was a frenzied bark
and a serie.3 of raad leaps around his
friend.
T understand," said Firmin, smiling.
"You are asking mc to dance to warm
myself. It's a pity you are not provided
with the password and a musket."
Capucin commenced tu bark, running
right and left like a creature possessed.
Finding all these manoeuvres useless, die
ran up to the soldier, pulled him by the
coat, and tried hard to drag him away,
renewing his clKorts with such violence
that he tore the soldier's uniform. Fir
min, considering this proof ot .affection
more troublesome than pleasant, lost his
temper and gave poor Capucin a kick.- '
The dog, howling at finding hituscif so
cruelly maltreated and misunderstood, re
treated a few paces distant, but soon re
turned, heedless of his friend's unkind
treatment. All lie did now was to look
forgiveness, and lick the soldier's hands.
- "He quiet, will 'you? and take your-,
self off," said Firmiu, harshly, as he
threatened to drive him away with the butt
of his gun. Captdcin, finding he could do
no good, unwillingly made up his mind to
depart. . He arrived just in time to po on
board with the last detachment of the
corps. 'J. ' .d. ..."

the horizon to see whether any ol the
ships were still visible. Upholding noth
ing, he said, at last : "I thankfully ac
cept your oiler."
"Oood :"' said the farmer, Peter IJaxen,
"Come aud breakfast at once. We 'will

had plenty of opportunit ies of proving

"My worthy fellow," he said one day,
"I lock upon you almost as a son."

"I knew it ; and for that very reason

"And she said?-'
"Net a word ; but she threw her arms
around my neck and kissed me lor a quar

Firmin iJonaid was married to the lair

daughter.
Four years then elapsed, pretty equally
divided between love and labor. liis
thoughts occasionally reverted to France,
but he bad almost forgotten bis compul
sory desertion. The past soon fades from
our memory when the present is satisfac
tory" and the future promising.
One morning, the iookout man in the
town of Rugen signalled a fleet of ships in
the ofring. They were men-of-war, car
rying the French flag. "The French are !
coming !" people shouted to each other.
"They are going to land I"
Firmin Ronard heard it. "The French
are coming !" rung in his cars like the
boom of an alarra-gun. It told him that
he lost man. Nevertheless, a
thought struck him which relieved his
heart by a glimmer of hope.
He ran home, put on his uniform,
seized his arms, and rauunleel guaid on
the very spot where, five years before, he
had been unintentionally abandoned.
Meanwhile boats full of soldiers rowed to
wards the hillock. In the fore part of
one' of the boats was a black and white
poodle. As it approached the beach, the
creature barked with jty, In spite of his
anxiet v,Firmin's eyes tided with tears as
h recognized bis old friend Capucin. The
dig, unable to master his impatience,
jumped into the sea and swam to shore.
As soon as the boats had come within
earshot, Firmin "made ready," and shout
ed at the top of his voice, "Q ii Vive !"
"Qui vive, yourself f" said the occu
pants of the first boat, which was filled
with officers, composing Marshal Da
voust's statf. "Who are you? And
what are you doing here ?"

Firmin continued a farmer. He had a
large family, who at present fill the big
gest and most important offices in the is
land. They are commonly known as the
Sentinel's Family. When the French
finally left liugen, Capucin remained.
Like, his roaster, he forgot his military
tastes, and devoted himself exclusively to
farming.

II. Davis, the taieied editor of the

as Pennsylvania ever sent forth, to bat tic,
express'ij his opinion of the Presidential
contest in the following vigorous language:
We look at the Presidential question
from the civilian stand point, which we
believe is the proper place to view it from.
j Wo do not think the country expects tr
j see a military man placed in the White
House tor iour years. Loot March 4th,
I'SQ'J. The hopes of the country are
turned towaid a fctatesrnun for the" nrit
President, and the people wiil not le sat
isfied with a man who bad no other claim
to their support than having been a suc
cessful soldier.- Camp and battles are
not the best field for successful statesman
ship, and this is particularly the case
when the aspirant for Presidential honors
leaned at cue stride from the tanner's
shop to the tented field. With such
training in civil and military life, how
can it be possible that any man could be
qualified to grapple with and adjust the
momentous questions that must arise un
der Ihe next administration ? If it requires
four years to make a decent carpenter or
printer, how can a man become a states
man by tanning bull hides for ten jeats
and fighting four ? It cannot be , and a
clumsy blacksmith might aa well try to re
pair a lady's delicate watch, as a soldier to
hatidle atlairs cf fctate with such schooling.
If we understand the temper of the Ameri
can people, they will riot trust the desti-
nies ct the country in the hands of anv
' , , . J
man woo uocb not pocss experience as
a statesman, and understand the great
questions that must come before him.
