ELLIS, INDIANA. I. There's a mighty army gathering throughout the East and West; \\ ith banners gayly flaunting, they speed along with zest; And the motto they are shouting, " We light for the op pressed ! As we go marching on!" CHORUS.— GIory, glory, hallelujah, &c. 11. i heir ranks are filled with heroes, who fought in deadly strife, To shield the Constitution, and save the nation's life, 1' rom the madden'd rebels, and the base assassin's knife, As they went marching on ! 111. From the gory field of battle, from the mountain and the plain, Where the wood and roeks are.blushing with the blood of kindred si lin, They come with arms victorious to battle once again, As they went marching on ! IV. They have sworn upon the altar of their country and their God, By the spirits of the gallant dead who sleep beneath the sod, Their necks shall never how again beneath the oppressor's rod, As they go marching on ! v. They have sworn, with hand uplifted, upon the bended knee, They ne'er will ground their arms again till all mankind are free ; And every tongue once manacled shall shout for liberty, As they go marching on ! VI. The glorious hour is coming, the day is drawing uigli When slavery and oppression shall lay them down and die, And "universal freedom" shall be echoed throughout the sky, As they go inarching on! VII. Then join the Union army, the gallant, brave, and free, The young and old, the veteran, and this your motto be: " The laud we love is Freedom's land, —the land of liberty ! As we go marching on!" Family Recipes. [A lady writing to the Culturist. says she has tried the following receipts and found them good.

Why, the old man has scarcely been dead six months, and it isn t two since the lads were drowned in the Dike, a luckt" chance for him.' t hat s no matter. Mr. Hugh Carton is not a near relative. Where they fished hi in up from no one can tell. And then he has an invalid sister.' 'To whom he is very good.' 1 ins was from an elderly bachelor who was grim and testy, but whose testiness no one minded much. He took snutt as ho said; he also stuck his cane into the carpet savagely, as though that had been the speaker, and wanted putting down. ■ And I should like to know what man, worthy of the name, wouldn t be good to an invalid sister?' persisted this gentleman. ' Her brother s dancing attendance on a bevv of mu sic m:td young ladies, and screaming up to B fiat,' said Mr. Crane, pulling a face. ' Well, I don't pretend to be musical, and I have already been introduced to Mr. Car ton. I should say that he is not musical either. Sorry to disappoint you.' The three Misses Grafton looked at each other and smiled. Jhe Parish of Dykewood was eminently amu sical parish. It was about to take part in a grand ama teur concert, to which everybody from miles around was expected to come, and its great desideratum had long been a good tenor. Baritones there were in plenty, and these bad to be pressed into tenor service; but they were thin, for the most part, like vin ordinaire; and be sides, they could not take the high notes. Now, a real tenor, after the fashion of Mario or Sims Ifeeves, was the thing wanted; therefore, from Mr. Hugh Carton's some what thin brown cheeks, moustaches, long hair, and general foreign appearance, it had been suggested as not impossible that he might supply the deficiency. 'At any rate,' said Miss Grafton, we will not take him at your valuation, Mr. Crane.' 'No one expects you to do so young ladies,' retorted Mr. Crane. ' The proof of the pidding—but I forgot, that's vulgar. Listen, however, to an old fogie. I ven ture to predict—nay, I would lay a small wager that the concourse of you —Graftons, Hetheringtons, Wilsons, every one—dont extract five consecutive words from this taciturn gentleman. I could not, and I talked about top dressing, and the crops, and the game laws—all that would naturally interest a country gentleman. I don't believe myself that he knows what it it* he has come into. The only time I succeeded in attracting his attention for a moment, was when I spoke of that poor Mrs. Wynne, who lives over there, you know, almost inside his park. I suppose it is because she is a cripple, like his sister.' 'Aye,' said Mr. Crane, 'laugh if you will, ladies. I dare say you think a crusty old fellow like me wouldn't be very likely to entertain this new lion; but vou mav be mistaken. ' W by, lie's thirty-five if he's a day, and the gray hairs are coming.' 'His voice will be in its prime, Mr. Crane,' said the ladies. ' His voice! his voice!' exclaimed Mr. Crane; 'as if a human being was nothing but a mechanical contrivance of' emitting sound. And' he added, softly, ' the man has known sorrows.' lie got up to go as lie spoke, ard the girls shook hands with him good humoredly enough, for he was not so sour as he seerued, and in spite of his caustic speeches, he was rather a favorite among them. Meantime tho object of these remarks was walking about the lawn of Dyke wood Park with a cigar in his mouth; a tall muscular man. with rather a worn brown face, and eyes that would have struck a stranger as hav ing a pitiful, hunted look in them at times. "When his possession became a reality to him, instead of appearing like a dream, from which he was afraid every moment of awaking, this wore oft; but at present ho could bard ly believe that fortune, adverse to him from childhood, had suddenly turned upon him her pleasant smiles. There were gardeners at work in the shrubberies and among the flower beds; and as his eye fell upon them, Mr. Carton stood still with a sudden wonder at the thought that these men wore his servants, and would look to him for payment. He shaded his eyes with his hand, and looked out into the west, where the sky was one blaze of gold and red. The light fell on hill and dale in fitful gleams; it touched the tree-tops, and pick ed out bits here and there of the winding river to make it glisten like silver. The scene grew dim before- Mr. Carton's eyes. He saw instead a miserable lodging un der'a foreign sky, where a gaunt man cowered at night over the stove, whose supply was scanty. He saw this man rising up every morning, sometimes hopeful, to be beaten back again from time to time, till hope was al most dead within him; then he saw this same man, but changed a little, for better days had begun, and his ge nius was making his way tardily; a newspaper was in his hand, and one finger rested on an advertisement. Hiß breath came in painful gasps, his face grew gradually paler until Mr. Carton started, for one of tho workmen stood be fore him. touching his hat, and asking instructions re specting certain trees which he thought should be cut down to improve the view. Mr. Carton could have laughed aloud at the incongruity of the thing, but he restrained himself, and gave his orders quietly. ' I might be the country squire in a farce,' he said to himself; ' I feel like playing at being a rich man. Pleas ant play, though '. Ah, lam thankful itdidn'tcome too late.' He flung down his cigar and walked quickly toward tho house. He passed the wide stone steps, which look ed so imposing, pushing open a French window, and en teved a small drawing room, at the end of which was a conservatory. A "young girl lay on a couch near this window, young, but with few of the marks of youth. There'was not the faintest rose tint in the cheeks, from which suffering had driven the healthy hlood ; the hands that she stretched out to him were fearfully thin, and the large eyes which filled with tender light when they saw him. seemed too largefor the wasted features. Yet in a certain way she was beautiful Hugh Carton knelt down beside the couch, and put his arm under her head gently. 'ls it pleasant, sister?' he said. 'Are you here among the birds and the flowers, or do you long after bluer skies ?' 'No H ugh,' replied the girl; ' there was trouble under them.' 'Ah, hut it was growing lighter,' said Hugh. 'I know it was,' said the gi'l; 'but what of that?— They should have appreciated you before; they shall not have you now to make a slave of I'm glad for your sake a thousand times more than my own. It seems too good to be true.' 'lt does, indeed,' said Hugh, smilingly" 'I am ready to warn my own men that sometimes I may not be able to pay them for their work. lam only thankful, that all this came when it did.' ' lhats for my sake,' said the girl, clasping his neck ( % Vi , a sut Men, passionate movement of affection.— Hugh shall I ever repay you? All j-our life loug you have sacrificed everything for me. Many a time you t lought 1 did not know when something had to be given up, because you would not leave me to the care of strati geis. lou would have got on, and been famous long ago, but for tue. Tell me , is not that so V i oibaps 1 didn t want fame, Ethel,' he replied. • Ah, but poverty would have been over then,' said Lthel, and it you had come to England, as he said vou would have done better. Do the English justice—they always recognize talent.' ' Vou forgot that you are praising yourself,' said Hugh. ' Are not we English? But I could not have come to England in that way, Ethel.' ' l ou might have changed your name,' said Ethel. 'Never,' said Hugh, curtly. 'You prefer slaving your best years away forme,' continued Ethel. • I wonder liow many brothers there are in the world like mine.' •And J wonder how many sisters are as patient and uncomplaining as nfine,' retorted Hugh. •We won't talk ot the old days now, Ethel. I declare that 1 never wished to sit in the place which these two poor lads should have filled successively before me. 1 never tbo't ot such a chance. \\ hen I read of the accident, and that advertisement for the next ot kin, there was pity in the shock as well as—but never mind.' ' No, said Ethel, ' let it rest. I have had visitors again, Hugh. That kind old Mrs. Wynne came with her daughter. It was very good of the old lady, for though she is not gxacliy a cripple, like I am, it is difficult for her to get about.' ' VV hy do they always como when I'm from home?' said Mr. Carton, and a shade passed over his face. 'lt looks as it there was something ogreish about me, Ethel.' 'So there is,' replied Ethel. ' You are S3 silent and stern-looking, like a brigand. You never open your lips to any one but me. Butyou must call upon Mrs Wynue and little Bertie—they ure your tenants, you know. Fancy your boasting tenants! Will you have a rent day, Hugh, and a grand least in the park, and speeches? or will you be hard, griping, and oppress everybody ? See there! What's that corning up the Avenue ? A car riageful of ladies to call upon me, and a—what a curi ous-looking man!' ■ It s the very fellow that bothered me about game laws the other day, said Hugh, laughing; - as if I knew anything about game-laws. I can't, stand this, Ethel. Good bj e !' ' Indeed, no, sir,' said Ethel, quickly, and she caught his arm and held him fast. '\ ou never did leqve rreto bear the brunt of anything yet, and 3*ou shall not begin now. Besides, consider that you'll have to return all these calls, so stay and break the ice.' ii. Hugh Carton was a very singular gentleman indeed. Dykewood raised his eyebrows and didn't know what to think about him. As to his being an acquisition to the neighborhood, that seemed very dubious indeed.— Dykewood had called upon the Cartons, and Mr. Car ton had returned the calls. His sister won golden opin ions from all ; but as for Hugh, he sat for the most part in his corner staring at the landscape with absent eyes, or pulling his long black moustache over his mouth, as if he wanted to Hide a smile. Dykewood invited him to an evening party, to which Mr. Carton went, after a strong argument over the matter with his sister; and the musical 3-oung ladies were more puzzled than ever. Miss Grafton moved toward Mr. Carton's corner. This nonsensicle heathen has been accusing you of his own want of taste, Mr. Carton,' she said. 'l'm sure it's a libel. lam quite sure that you must at least like music.' Hugh stammered out that he 'didn't exactly know,' and the young lady's face feli. 1 We did so hope that you would join the choir/ con tinued Mi.-s Grafton 4 \Y e want a tenor voice dreadful ly, and you look as if you had one.' 'The choir!' repeated Mr Carton, reflectively. 4 Yes, our Dykewood choir,' said Miss Grafton. 4 You heard us on Sunday. But really a good tenor would be such an improvement. I am sure you have a singing face it you would only try. People very often don't know their capabilities until they begin.' There was a very curious twitching about Mr. Gar ton's lips as he listened to this: The speaker did not notice it, but little Bertie Wynne did, and wondered.— He raised his eyes to Miss Grafton's face, and said very quietly, 4 You may be right, I suppose I am not too old to learn.' He was smiling outright now, and a chorus of eager negatives of such a supposition broke upon him. 4 And then, we arc going to have an amateur concert,' said Miss Grafton; and we should IKJ so glad of your help, at Dykehambury, you know.' 4 Ah !' said Mr. Carton. His face grew a shade paler, and he stretched out one hand in an aimless sort of fash ion, as though searching for something. The gesture was peculiar; these people could not kuow how sudden ly the}' had touched a chord in the weary, struggling past of his, and drawn forth the old instinctive move ment by which he had been used in other days to draw his sister's couch toward him and feel that there was a comforter. , Mr. Carton walked home that night with little Wynne, which gave rise to many expressions of discontent, fortunately never destined to reach his ears. Bertie's servant kept a decorous distance, but there was no laughter or funny speeches now. Hugh had grown grave in the moonlight; so grave, indeed, and absent, that be would have forgotten to wish his charge good njght if she had not spoken the words fiflst; and then he remem bered, and his face grew red as he spoke the parting salute. The last words which Mr. Carton said to his sister that night must have been very comical, to judge by the amusement the}' created. She looked up at him with mischief sparkling in her large eyes; and twisting the corners of the mouth, about which pain had drawn many lines, she said, simply, 4 Sing for them, dear Hugh—do.' in. 4 So you have given him up" said Mr. Crane, biting his lips 4 0, of course,' replied Miss Grafton. 4 lt would never do to take a beginner among tho Dykehambury people —they would not like it.' . 4 But you have asked him,' said Mr. Crane. 'Suppose he says he will sing?—and there he comes. 3esides, how do you know he is a beginner?' 1 I know how lie turned my music over,' said Miss Grafton. 4 But that's nonsense. I should have liked a tenor solo; but we must do without it.' When Mr. Carton made bis unexpected entrance into the committee room this question was still undecided.— No one spoke to him beyond the ordinary greeting, and that was cut rather short, for they were preoccupied, and, in a musical light, he was evidently nobody. He sat listening and caressing bis moustache, as usual, till the debate grew warm, and then all at once the Oracle stepped forward and broke the silence. 4 Ladies and gentlemen,' he said, 4 1 believe my voice is a tenor.
