Now, men of the North! will you join in the strife
For country, for freedom, for honor, for life?
The giant grows blind in his fury and spite—
One blow on his forehead will settle the fight!
Flash fnll in his eyes the blue lightning of steel.
And stun him with cannon-bolts, peal upon peal!
Mount, troopers, and follow your game to its lair,
As the hound tracks the wolf and the beagle the hare!
Blow, trumpets, your summons, till sluggards awake!
Beat, drums, till the roofs of the faint-hearted shake!
Vet. yet. ere the signet is stamped on the scroll,
Their names may be traced on the blood-sprinkled roll!
Trust not the false herald that painted your shield;
True honor to dm must be sought on the field!
Her 'scuteben shows white with a blazon of red—
The life-drops of crimson for liberty shed I
The hour is at hand, and the moment draws nigh 1
The dog-star of treason grows dim in the sky !
Shine forth from the battle cloud light of the thorn,
Call back the bright hOur when the nation was born!
The rivers of peace through our valleys shall run,
As the glaciers of tyranny melt in the sun;
Smite, smite the proud parricide down from his throne,
His sceptre once broken, the world is our own!
[Atlantic Monthly.
THE RIGHT MUST WIN.
O, it is hard to work for God,
To rise and take his part
Upon this battle-field of earth,
An.i not sometimes lose heart.
He hides himself so wondrously,
As though there was no God;
He is least seen when all the powers
Of earth are most abroad:
Or he deserts us in the hour
The fight is all hilt lost—
And seems to leave us to ourselves
Just when we need him mast.
It is not so, but so it looks,
And we lose courage then;
And doubts will come, if God hath kept
His promises to men.
Soldier of God, O, lose not heart,
But learn what God is like,
And in the darkest battle-field
Thou shalt know where to strike.
For right is might, since God is God—
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty—
To falter would be sin.

Doing- Good.
Thepe is no greater happiness on
earth than to bo made the instrument
of happiness, or of good, to others,
and then to give God all the glory.
Let no one ever say to himself or to
others, *1 am small" and-of no conse
quence ; I am poor and drßpised, and
of no account,' or, 'i am only one
among many, and have no influence.'
Every person, however limited hisgifs,
is continually operating, for good or
evil, upon all connected with him. No
influence is small when valued in the
light of eternity. In the way of
means, there are no little things with
God. The verse of a hymn—a text of
Scripture—a kind word—a good book
—a Christian letter—a passing warn
ing—a cup of cold water, given in the
name of Jesus—all these have been
blessed at various times, and will be
unto the end of the world.
God works by human means and in
struments; by men, and women, and
by little children; by their influence
upon others; by their conduct and con
versation; by their tempers and dispo
sitions; by their wealth and talents,
and affections; by their deportment as
they pass through the world; but above
all at home; by the friendships they
form, the words they speak, the books
which they read or leave about; by the
letters they write, the places they fre
quent, the strangers with whom they
hold momentary intei course; by the
living and by the dead.
Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton is said to
have resembled in his walk through
the world, 'a man passing through the
wards of a hospital, and stooping down
<in all sides to administer help where
it was needed.'
A popular authoress tells us that she
longs to be like the church bells, utter
ing a chime over all human activity
over all the striving and the suffering
—over all the happy; calling and invi
ting men to the house of prayer, as if
they had said, 'Come, ye sorrowing;
ye weary and heavy laden; ye gay and
thoughtless ones, Come and hoar God's
message of redeeming love I'
It is related of a good and noble la
dy, that 'her last work every evening
was to review with diligence all the
works of the day—her thoughts, words
and deeds; what happened in this room
or that company; what good or evil
she had done; what opportunities of
benefitting others she had embraced
or neglected; what comforts and bless
ings she had that day received; and
after this examination, giving thanks,
and begging, pardon in every particu
lar, havtrtg communed in her'own
heart, in her chamber, she was stillj
What a sweet example for us all to
follow ! How necessary it is, in pass
ing through the world, to pause every
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 1864,
now and then, and see what we are
doing, or leaving undone, so that we
may be more careful; to reckon up our
mercies—greater in number than the
sands upon the seashore—so that, we
may be more thankful; to call to re
membrance our many sins, so that we
may be more humble, more tender
hearted and forbearing towards others,
and more grateful to our Saviour Je
sus Christ! — Isabel.

NASHVILLE Tenn., March, 1804
Mr. Editor: —Though this is iri the
South and therefore very sunny, bland,
and genial always, to the imagination of
northerners, the simple fact is that theie
have been days of the most convincing
kind of winte •, eom here The advent of
northern people, with northern ideas, wonld
seem to have influenced the atmosphere
very fraciugly. Here, as every where else,
the " oldest inhabitant" has done duty the
present winter, by declaring upon honor
that there had never been such weather
any winter before within his recollection,
lie protested he should freeze, and some
of his family—the tuore unfortunate branch
—actually did ireeze to death. But the
oldest inhabitant survived, and to day he
is sunning hiruself in an air so mild and
cheery that the bloom of youth almost
comes hack into his cheeks, and he looks
hopefully to the South to welcome the ad
vancing spring. The grass is green here,
but it is only the greenness of last year
which it has not yet outgrown ; the old
haves stiil hang on the magnolias;—but
the Proclamation of Amnesty from Win
ter bis been issued, and we shall soon be
rejoicing in the new life of another spring.
The tramp of armies has re commenc
ed in this Military Division, and it will be
heard steadily advancing to the nation's
deliverance and the crushing of the re
bellion. And before long, in East Tennes
sec there will be a costly watering of the
nation's most beautiful flower with the
precious blood of her valiant sons. Gen.
Grant has decided that Longstreet has
been threatening Knoxville long enough,
and that he must be soundly whipped tor
staying there so long and doing so many
things that are not convenient for Union
men or Federal soldiers. Longstreet may
politely decline Grant's pressing invitation
to have another fight, and very good na
turedly retire into Virginia. But it will
not do to let him off easily, however polite
he may be; he has played rebel in that
region quite as long as Geo. Grant's policy
will allow, and It will not do to let him
fall back merely;—he must be utterly
driven out of that quarter, and Grant must
accomplish this, before he attempts any
movements southward with the army now
once more eating full rations at Chuttanoo
ga. Meanwhile Gen. Sherman plunges
eastward indefinitely from Vicksburg.
meaning mischief to the railroad connec
tions of Mobile, even if he shall not go to
the city itself and, as upper millstone, help
Farragut—as nether millstone—in grind
icg it to pieces.
The re construction of the State govern
ment here goes on rather slowly. There
are not a few ardent admirers of the I n
ion as it was; though singularly enough
nearly every one did his nest to destroy
the same union as it was; but, since they
found it a more difficult task than their
fancy painted it, they have got themselves
iron ciad, as they term the process of se
curing themselves and their property by
taking the oath of allegiance, and now they
talk astonishingly like nortl ern Peace
Democrats, are painfully sensitive to all
new modes ot interpreting the Coustitu
tion or of using the powers it confers.
(You know a new interpretation of the
Constitution, especially an interpretation
that ignores the divige sanction of slavery,
or favors freedom, is disgusting to a north
ern man who lovcth " Wayward Sisters"
with all his peaceful soul, —in short he
scouts the idea that the Constitution as it
is was intended to secure the very h essings
which its preamble expressly declares it
was ordained to secure.) These men, so
anxious for peace, are doing all they can to
prevent the only honorable, thennly possible
real peace, ami apparently seek tore t re the
old retjtme of lynch law and Yankee hunt
ing, and merciless proscription of all free
speech, free printing, and if possible, all
free thought. But their efforts are all
foolishly put forth,—it were wisdom to
dip water with a seive, compared with the
the attempt to check the spirit and pro
gress of liberal, truly democratic institu
tions in this country. Tennessee will quite
surely be a State in time to cast her vote
next fall for the 1. nion candidate, whoever
he may be, and she will give him such a
majority as will astonish the Peace Kip
Van Winkles who want the world to sleep
as soundly as they do.
I envy the brave Mifflin county boys
their welcome reception, which they so
richly deserve; and the people of Mifflin
county their opportunity to greet with
heartiest cordiality their valiant sons.
Blessings on them, and on those at home
who by their loyal words and acts cheer
and encourage them!

FORTRESS MONROE, Feb. 24th, 18t>4.
Mr. Editor: —As your numerous read- I
ers would perhaps like to know how the
soldiers are getting along in these parts,
(Fortress Monroe) especially those who
have left 44 little Mifflin," I give you a brief
account. When we arrived here, began •
to look around, and found out how things i
were and what they were, we were agreea I
bly disappointed. In our imagination, we
expected to see a place that looked deso
lute and warlike; hut instead of that, it j
has more the appearance of a place ot peace j
and domestic happiness. Inside of the
Fort it looks just like a peaceful country :
village. There are many soldiers here, i
(officers and privates) who have their j
wives and children, with all the necessary i
domestic animais, even down to the socia
hie rat and unwelcome grey back. We
have a fine chapel in which there is preach ;
ing every sabbath, sabbath school, and at
fine bible class, conducted by the post j
Chapl in. They are about to begin a day
school for the benefit of the children. This !
is the doings of our noble commander, Col. !
Roberts There is in this command or in I
the Fort nine companies. They are a fine !
body of men, such that their friet ds at
home need not be ashamed of. The facts j
are these: that we fear nothing while j
bravely standing behind the embankments
and walls of the Gibralter of the western
hemisphere, and the rebels keep out of j
sight
We have fine quarters to stay in In
the square they measure 7by feet, and j
4 feet high, with a wedge tout over the i
top Four of us live in each mansion Onr j
boarding is very good, (all we have to do
is to keep thinking so.) The boys, as a 1
general thing, are healthy, joyful, content j
ed and happy
The 22d, the birthday of the father of i
our country, was celebrated as follows : In j
the morning at o'clock Hie soldiers turn
ed out in full uniform, with their knap '
sacks on. and passed in review. I tell you j
they made a fine appearance, and did their
work well. The Penna. 3d Heavy Artil
lery is a regiment that its friends at home
can well be proud of. After the reviewing
of the troops preparations were made to
tire off salutes, which was done at 12 to.
Every duty was suspended the whole day,
excepting what was just necessary. In
the evening we were favored with a very
patriotic Union speech, by a very patriotic j
young man, Bowman by name. His posi
tion is "high private in the rear rank,"
and belongs to battery I), 3d Penna. Art
I have had the pleasure and privilege of
hearing and reading many patriotic speech
es, spoken by great men of our land, but
I never heard anything 'hat goes ahead of j
this. All the exercises were accompanied j
by national airs performed by the brass
band stationed at this post.

fIgSGE&MMfIOCfS,
CURIOSITIES OF PRINTING.
Queer Things Done in Type.
The mistakes of printers are often very
funny to readers, and exasperating to au
thors. A single letter is often of the great
est importance, and a small mistake fre
quentiy changes the whole effect of an
article Souie very funny stories are told
of mishaps of this character, and we give
below some of the best.
Ao English paper once stated that the
Russian Gen. iiackinoffkowsky was found
dead with 'a long word in his mouth.' It
should have been 'sword.' In this case,
however, the printer could not have been
blamed for leaving out a letter after setting
up the Russian name correctly. During
the Mexican war ice of the English news
papers hurriedly announced an important
item of news from Mexico—that Gen Pil
low and thirty seven of his men had been
lost 'in a bottle.' It should have read
'battle.
A lad in a printing office came upon the
name of Hecate, occurring in a line like
this :
•Shsll reign the Hecate of the deepest hell.'
The hoy thinking he had discovered an
i rr r, ran to the master printer and inquired
eagerly whether there was an t iu cat.
•Why no, DO you blockhead,' was the re
ply. Away went the boy to the press room
and extracted the objectionable letter Rut
fancy the horror of both poet and publish
er when the poem appeared with the line:
'Shall reign the He Cat of the deepest hell.'
A newspaper some time ago gravely in
formed its readers that a rat descending the
river came in contact with a steamboat with
such serious iujury to the boat that great
exertions were necessary to save it. It
was a raft and not a rat, descending the
river.
In the directions for conducting the
Catholic service in a place in France a
shocking blunder occurred iu printiug ca
lotte, culotte. Now a calotte in an ecclesi
astical cap or mitre, while culotte means
what would be known in drawing-room
English as a gentleman's small clothes.
The sentence read, 'Here the priest will

But let a form of type be ever so cor
rect when sent to the press, errors not un
frequently happen from the liabiltv of let
ters to drop out, when the form has not
been properly adjusted or locked sufficient
ly tight A printer putting to press a form
of the Common Prayer,the cin th- following
passage dropped out un perceived by him :
4 We shall all be ehamjed in the twinkling
of an eye.' When the b >ok appeared, to
the horror of the devout worshipper the
passage read : 'We shall be kanyed iu ;he
twinkling of an eye.'
A newspaper recently stated, in a report
of a battle, that the conflict was dreadful,
and that the enemy was repulsed withgieat
laughter (slaughter.) A man was said or.ce
to have been brought up to answer the
charge of having euten (beaten) a stage
driver for demanding more than his fare.
The public were informed, some rime ago.
that a man was committed for having stolen
a small ox (box) from a lady's work bag.
The stolen property was found in his vest
pocket. In au account of a Fourth of July
dinner if was B'ated that none of the poul
try was eaten except the owls (fowls.)
A 'MAKE LP' BLUNDER.
A laughable mistake is shown in the
following mixing of two articles—one con
eerning a preacher, the other about the
freaks of a mad dog—which occurred in a
hurried make up' in a printing office :
'Rev. James Thompson, rector of St.
Andrew's cfurch, preached to a large
concourse of people c n Sunday last. This
was his last sermon. In a tew weeks he
will bid farewell to his congregation, as his
physician advises him to cross the Atlantic.
He exorted his brethern and sisters, and
after the conclusion of a short prayer, took
a whim to cut up some frantic freaks. He
ran up Timothy street to the college. At
this stage of proceedings a couple of boys
seized him and tied a tin ketttle to his
tail, and he again started. A great crowd
collected, and for a time there was a grand
scene of running and confusion. After a
long race he was finally shot by a police
man.'
It is not slated whether the following
item, which is said to have been printed
once upon a time, was the result of iuebrie
ty on the part of the prinler or reporter:
' Horrible Catastrophe. Yesterday
morning, at four o'clock p. tn., a small man
named Jones or Smith, with a hell in the
hole of his trowsers, committed arsenic by
swallowing a dose ot suicide. The verdict
of the inquest returned a jury that tbede
ceased came to the fact in accordance with
•his death. He left a child and six small
wives to lament the end of his uufoitunate
loss. In death we are in the midst of
life *
THE POWER OF COMMAS.
In the Priory of Hanunessa there dwelt
a prior who was very liberal, and who
caused these lines to be written over his
door:
•Be open evermore.O. Thou my door,
To none be shut, to liouest or to poor.'
But after Itis death there suei ceded him
another, whose name WHS llaynhurd, as
greedy and covetous as the other was
bountiful aud liberal, who kept the. same
lines there still, changing nothing therein
hut one point, which made them run alter
this manner:
'Be open evermore, O, thou my door,
To none; be shut, to honest of to poor.'
The following sentence from a recently
written novel slows the importance of
punctuation :
'He enters on his head, his helmet on
his feet, armed sandals upon his brow;
there was a cloud in his right hand, his
faithful sword in his eye, an angry glare
—he sat down.
He had Him that Time.
The other day little Sunset Cox felt the
spirit move him to say over again his little
speech about amalgamation. Notwith
standing the Democratic party in the South
have manufactured half a million mulattos,
Cox persists in charging that amalgamation
as a leading tenet among the Republicans.
But littie Cox got picked up in bis amal
gamation recitations in Congress the other
day, which is thus described by an eye wit
ness:
Little Mr. Samuel Cox felt called upon
today to express bis views on the Naval
Appropriation bill, by making a speech on
amalgamation, which, he said, was the
leading dogma of the Administration party.
He was especially severe upuo the class
of men who were constantly calling the
negro a man and a brother.
While he was charging amalgamation on
the Administration side, Mr. Washburue
sought to inturrupt him, but Mr Cox very
flatly refused to yield. The moment be sat
down M. Washburne got the floor, armed
with a small volume, sometimes seen in
political campaigns in the Columbusdistrict,
known as 'A Buckeye Abroad.' lie said
he was delighted to hear Mr. Cox's speech
again
He had heard it many times he>e, and
was always pleased w.th it, but from the
late Ohio election he feared he would never
have an opportunity to hear it again. In
the meautime, although the Administration
was not quite willing to go its length on
the amalg mation and negro brotherhood
as the gentleman had intimated, yet he w.aa
very glad to be able to produce another

subsided amid a general roar from the floor

Things That Make a Patriot Mad
To hear men wh" have never read the
Constitution, and never heard it read, rant-,
ing about its violation.
To hear men who never did a day's la
bor in their lives howling about the influx
of negroes, and its injustice to the white
laborers.
To hear men rave about the President's
violation of the Constitution, who are so
utterly stupid or knavish that they have
never ascertained that the rebellion is in
violation of the Constitution.
To hear men who care not for law—for
God nor man—and who live in daily viola
tion of law, pra:ing about law.
To hear men who, were they South, would
be treated as the poorest and meanest 'white
trash' taunted as 'mudsills,' 'greasy me
chanics,' &c., upholding the very men who
so degrade labor and despise those who do
not own negroes.
To hear them justifying Jeff Davis and
the South, who have not the manhood and
decency to go South and seek a Lome which
they like so well.
To hear a man who loves slavery more
than his country or freedom.
To hear a drunken, leprous, thickheaded,
gaunt-looking libel upou manhood, belch
ing out abolition.
To hear a man talking about peace and
compromise after ie lias been kicked and
spit upon by the Soutji -t -Oswego Tunes.
—S W. VVingfield, a noted Secession
brawler of Portsmouth, Va., has been ar
rested by order of Gen. Butler, for annoy
ing a coogregation while the prayer for the
President of the United States was being
read. The General believes "that a whole
sale example is necessary," and therefore
turns Mr Wingfield over to Col. Sawtelle,
who is to put him to work at cleaning the
streets ot Norfolk and Portsmouth for
three months. A good idea.
—Somo of the Johnstown soldiers
exonerated the captain alluded to last
week from selling them. It may be
all right, but who got the surplus paid
by Chester county'!
—The Supreme Court of this State
it is said has appointed Wallace De
Witt, a full-blooded copperhead Pro
thonotory. That Woodward ami
Thompson should vote for such a fel
low is not surprising, but that any
republican should do so certainly is.
