Where flower? are budding, little Anna is sleeping: Where the beautiful rose its white leaflet discloses: Little Anna loved flowers, and now they are keeping Their watch o'er the place where she calmly reposes. ] Little Anna is sleeping ! The birds are all sinking So sweetly where woodbine and myrtle are creeping; From the hawthorn aud hedge the soft down they are | bringing For their nest in the tree near where Anna is sleep- i ing. The mantle of twilight is silently falling, And snadowy waves o'er the landscape are sweeping. ] While the voice of the turtle seems plaintively calling The birds to their y,Qspers, where Anna is sleeping. 1 4.

TALES & SKETCHES "NOBODY BUT ANN." BY A VILLAGE SCHOOLMASTER. The weary, worn out sun had gone to ; sleep. The persevering cries of buyers and sellers had died oui of the noisy streets; the street lamps had just been lighted, and the sky lamps, too, were, one by one, being slowly kindled around the throne of night. We were sitting at the window watch ; ing for his form among the occasional pas ; sers by; for that hour, ihat blessed hour, 1 had come, when many a hundred iiearts, I i fancy, wait still and anxiously for the com ; ing of some tenderly loved one that .vent ] forth in the morning. 'Who is that? exclaimed I, as a pretty little figure came hurrying up the aveuue, and went in the basement door. • 'Nobody but Ann !' said Mrs Smith, with an air ol contempt too plain to be unnoticed. i Mrs. Smith was the wife of a govern ment contractor, and Ann was her 'servant;' hence, Ann was 'nobody,' and Mrs. Smith was a member of the 'shoddy' aristocracy, which is a little less than nobody. There was a vast difference between Ann ] and Mrs. Smith. One was pleasant, pretty and intelligent; the other was hateful, homely and ignorant. One made her j money by working for other people; the ] other made money by otl er people wot king for her. Which was the more honorable mode, Ann's or Mrs. Smiths'? 'Nobody but Ann!' And what if she was a servant girl? Do you suppose the great Task master will icfuse a laborer his i penny because lie worked under a muster? J No! fie sometimes refuses t lose who do not i work at all—like Mrs. Smith. And who set t his would he goddess upon the stilts of conceded pride, that she should he a head and shoulders ahove Iter betters? Surely, none hut herself. 1 here are hundreds of eouceited persons who set themselves up above their fellows, (jione else ever do it,) like some golden caff to be idolized and worshiped. They try to make themselves conspicuous, arid only succeed in rendering themselves ri diculous. Yes, there are hundreds and thousands of Mrs. Smiths. Pray, reader, are you of them? It you are at all like her, your shoulders are surely hroad and will bear a little lashing. And now. did you ever think what a clog you are in the wheels of human progress? How some of your silly friends are trying to imitate you in your luxurious laziness, and some of their friends are imitating thetu, and soon until honorable labor is deemed a disgrace? Did you ever think of the effect ot wor shipping the almighty dollar instead of ' worshipping the Almighty; or could you ! never find anything to do but torture your husband and the piano? Ah ! 1 fear you have never tried. The effort would be too | much like labor. Remember, 'God helps ! those who help themselves.' Ywu sometimes wonder why every one j is so freezingly dignified. Don't you know that the cut must look up to see the king? ; You have grown so wonderfuly tall, pom- ' pous and puffed up, and have risen so far above 'the common herd,' that they have j to hold their heads high in order to see you. And then you wonder why every one dislikes you! I will tell you why. Y'ou think the world was made for you —not you for the world. You think yourself better than other people. Y'our lips don't say it; but your aetiuus do, most emphati cally. Y'ou are a social iceberg. Y'our looks are 'chills and fever.' Y our manner is full of frostiness.

The world may talk about nature's noble men; but you are nature's noble women. You are nothing bnt cyphers. Suppose you do labor for a living. God has called labor honorable, Mrs. Smith to the contrary notwithstanding. Suppose you cannot sit in the parlor and play the piano?

The Youngest Soldier in the Army of the Cumberland Last evening at the Caledonian supper Gen. llosecrans exhibited the photograph of a hoy who he said was the youngest sol dier in the Army of the Cumberland. His name is Johnny Clem, twelve years of age, a member of Company C, 22d Michigan Infantry His home is in Newark, Ohio. He first attracted Rosecrans's attention d iring a review at Nashville, where he was acting as a marker for his regiment. His extreme youth (he is quite small for his age) and intelligent appearance interested the General, and calling him out, he ques tinned him as to his age. name, regiment. Gen. Rosecrans spoke encouragingly to the young soldier, arid told hi*u to cnuie ands ehitu whenever became where he was. lie saw no more of Clem until' Saturday i last, when he went to his place of residence J —the Burnet ilouse —and found Jobnn* T j Ciem sitting on his sofa, waiting to see j him. .T hnny had experienced some ot j the vicissitudes of war since last they met. j Lie had been captured by Wheeler's cav alry near Bridgeport. His captors took him to Wheeler, who saluted him with — 'What are you doing here, you d— n iit- j tie Yankee scoundrel?' Said Johnny Clem, stoutly —'General Wheeler, L am no more a d—d scoundrel than you are, sir.' Johnny said the rebels stole about, all that he had including his pocket book, which contained onlv twenty five cents 'But I would not have cared for the rest, he added, 'if they hadn't stolen my hat. which had three bullet holes in it received at Chickamauga.' Ho was finally paroled and sen.. North On Saturday he was on liis way to Camp Chase to joiu his regiment, having been exchanged. Get) Rosecrans observed that the yonng soldier had chevrons on his arm, and asked the meaning of it. He said he was promoted to a corporal for shooting a rebel colonel at Chickamau ga. The colonel was monnted. and stopped Johnny on some part of the field, cryiug, 'Stop you little Yankee devil.' Johnny halted bringing his Austrian vifle to an 'order,' thus throwing the colo nol off' his guard, cocked his piece (which he could easily do being so short) and sud denly bringing it to his shoulder, tired, the colonel failing dead with a bullet, through his breast. The little fellow told his story simply and modestly, and the General determined to honor his bravery. lie gave him the badge of the 'Roll of Honor,' which Mrs. Saunders, wife of the host of the Burnet House sewed upon Johnnv's coat. His eyes glistened with pride as he look ed upon the badge, and little Johnny seem ed to have grown an inch or two taller be stood so erect. lie left his photograph with Gen Rose crans, who exhibits it with pride.

By a passenger who arrived here on the Centra! railroad la*' night, from the West, we ietrti of one of the most fearful and heartrending affairs that has ever oecured in this section of the country, viz: that a family ol seven persons were frozen to death during the cold weather on Friday last. About th'rry miles from the hound j ary line between Michigan an t Indiana, ; in the bitter State, about midway be' eeu Centreville and Crown Point, lived a Her man. with his wile and five children, named Krutzer The oldest was a boy of seven years of age the next boy of five and three girls, ail ot less than the boys, the youngest hut an infant. The country where the family resided is j very rolling, and the snow ad drifted into j hollows, irakirig the roads almost, if riot wholly, impassable for even pedestrians. 1 The driver of the stage coach coming ! from Crown Point to Lake, via Centrevdle, j found that Krutzer's dwelling had been | burned to the ground, it is supposed the ; night previous, but none of the family ! were to be seen. About a mile further on, however, he was horrified to find the lath I er and two boys frozen to death. The j boys were in the father's arms, and it is . supposed that he had fallen with them alter having been so far affected with the i lrost as not, to he able to proceed. The : three corpses were placed in the stage, j but before it had proceeded more than a ! quarter of a mile on its destination, the i hotly of the oldest girl was found it a ! I snow drift, with a shawl wrapped closely ! [ around it, where it had doubtless been dc i posited by its weary mother, while yet I alive, in the hope that some chance travei ! lor might rescue it from an impending i fate. This corps, too. was placed in the coach, and again it started on its way. only to find, i after travelling a short distance, the lite | less remains of the mother, with the two I youngest children. The body ol the moth I er was standing erect in a snow drift, with i the children in her arms, the youngest at 1 the brea-t The seven lifeless bodies were conveyed | to Centreville by the driver of the stage, | at which place they were decently inter } red by the inhabitants. This is certainly the most appalling dis i aster that it has ever been our duty to j record, and the bare recital of the lacts j could not tail to bring a shudder even to a j heart of stone.

Now is the time for statesmanship and moral courage. There are members of both houses ot the General Assembly who possess not only moral courage in a high degree, but information and expe rience as statesmen, which could be brought to bear in this crisis in such away as to meet the expectations of the people in paving the way to an honorable peace.

A spy who has gone through the Sputh credibly reports as follows: On the approach of rebel cavalry or conscripting officers, who. by the way, are always accoiup- nied by a military escort, the iuginves give the signal ol alarm by blowing a tin horn. As its notes roll along the valleys, a general rush is made to the torest rendezvous, from which they ! not unlrequently sally forth and attack the cavalry and conscript officers, who arc sure to get the worst of it, as the pursuit of the fugitives over fences and through woods is in possible. My informant states several instances which came under his , own eye, ol rebel cavalry being attacked and put to flight by these fugitives Du j ring three days' journey in a portion of j Alabama lie heard the deserters" signal i almost hourly, and daily learned of more j or less being killed on hot 1 * sides.

The Origin of Tea. The following story concerning the origin of tea goes current among the Chinese: Darma, the sou of an Indi an King came into China about the year 519 of the Christian era, purely to promulgate his religion; and to gain it the better reception, he led a very austere life, eating only vegetables, and spending most of his time in contem plation of the Deity. The nights es pecially were devote 1 to this exercise, pursuant to a vow he had made against sleeping. After continual vvatchings for several years, sleep once overcame him; but on his awaking, such was his remorse and grief for having broken his vow, that he cut oft' his eyelids, as the instrument of his crime, and, with indignation, threw them on the ground; but the next day he found them meta morphosed into two shrubs, now known by the name of chaa, or ten. Darina, eating some of the leaves, felt himself not only more sprightly than usual, i but such was the vigor imparted to his ! mind by these leaves, that his medita ! tions became more fluent, pithy and i without any lassitude. The preacher i was not wanting to acquaint bis dici ; pies with the excellent virtues of these i shrubs, and accordingly the use ot i them beeame universal.
