Clouds of iiowder in the air ! Dead and dying Strew the earth, Men of every laud and bi,th— Father, brother, son and friend, In the ghastly conflict blend. Age and beauty, youth and mind, Crushed by war and left behind ; Tramp! rush! crash and rattle! Boom like thunder! battle! battle! Battle onward o'er the plain, Battle backward might and main ; Plumes are nodding in the smoke -Cannon carriage crushed and broke— Furious steeds and furious men Crush and wheel and crush again. Hoarse-voiced captains onward " ary, Dust-dyed soldiers do and die. Rider falling with his steed, Horse and man together bleed! Here another war-horse. free, Seeks, confounded, how to flee— Plunging thro' the surging wrath, Finds from war no open path. Soldier, dying, prays to God, Wild steed tramps him in the sod, Nothing left but mashed remains, Lastiprayer scattered with his bruins. Beardless youth, with broken gun, From the ranks attempts to run ; Veteran soldier ' riding on, Crushes down his only eon— Father! father! shouts the chi d, But the father, battle wild, Hears no sound but rattle ! rattle!

Thundering cannon kills his horse; He gets trampled in the course Of the legion late he led— Struggles! struggles! dying!—dead ! Dead and trampled in the plain, Son and soldier battle slain. Thus the battle, men and mettle, Strews the plain with quiv'ring death, Till ,the dead-birds "caw " and nettle in its leviid, putrid breath. Thus when freemen grapple freemen, In the glow of bating hearts, Death stalks quickly like a demon, Burling ALL its fatal darts. Down beside the bloody river, Along the mountain streams, Hire they sleep, and sleep forever, Far from home and all its dreams— Or they writhe in wounded sorrow, . Parched with thirst and stiff with gore; Hoping, waiting for to-morrow,, On the night's plutonian shore— In the fens and bogs and brushes, In the dry. hot summer -field, By the trees, the roads the rushes, Where the wound has made them yield— In the hollows, on the side-hlll5 In the churches, sheds and stablell— In the dwellings, barns and grist-mills, Stretched on floors, and boards and table, Where the surgeon plies his steel; Where "the brothers, once fraternal, Writhe beneath the battle's heel, Or stiffen into the infernal Bond of hate forevermore. Signed and sealed by death eternal— Stamped in red—and all is o'er. While all the devils in their revels, Laugh till hell is all aglee— Laugh and shout—the joyous devils— " Hail Columbia! The free!" God Almighty! -0h ! how long Shall this abortive work proceed? God of life and Ittvel how long Shall maddened freemen bleed? Is there no sense, no hope, no healing, No great thought the hate to quell ? But, drunk with blood, must we go reeling, Down to ruin, death and hell? ORIGIN OF THE RED ROSE A beautiful story is somewhere told, Of bow the rose turned red; For all were white in the days of old, Whe&they grliw in their Eden bed. Eve passtd one Morn, and saw the bloom Of down on the tintless gout ; She paused to breathe the sweet perfume Frtim its peerless diadem. She gazed enraptured, then stooped low And pressed it to her lips; The rose began to heave and glow, Till crimson grew its tips! And since the day that live caressed The white rose in Eden's bowers, Each year she comes in crimson dressed, Acknowledged the Queen of Blowers.

THE BEST ADVANTAGE:--A country man went into a store in Boston the other day, and told the keeper that a neighbor of his had entrusted him with some money to be spent to the best advanlage,`and ho meant to do it where he would be treated the best. He had been very well treated in Boston by the traders, ay'd would not part with his friend's money until he found a man who would treat him about right. With the utmost suavity the trader says : I think I can treat you to your liking; how do you want to be treated ?'

THE SEVENTH DAY'S BATTLE. some brigades were _without support from I , On Tueiday,• the- first -of - July, a' t 'two "THAT COUNTRY IB THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHIRR LABOR COMMANDS TEI GREATEST REWARD."- , BUCHANAN LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 6, 1863. o'clock in the morning, when the stars were still glittering in the firmament, Gen eial Magruder opened again the battle.— S•ion cannonading-was going on to such a degree that the earth trembled. At noon McClellan had already yielded all his po sitions, leaving behind his wounded, his baggage, and even many guns. Magruder followed closely, but cautiously, as he had to clear before him the surrounding woods by artillery and riflemen. At half-past four t 'clock, P. M., our troops arrived near the well-known farm of Dr. Carter, called Malvern Hill. Here Gen. McClellan hid placed his army anew in battle array. •No sooner did Magruder see the enemy's lines than he went to at tack them. Splendidly the columns crossed the space 'hick separated them from the enemy and stormed against the hostile batteries. The brave fellows were received by a deadly hail of bullets, which mowed them down. The rest of the fine divisions had to seek for shelter behind the woods. Anew the Generals, Smith, An derson and Holmes, led on their men, but instantly projectiles of the greatest di mensions are thrown into our ranks and prove destructive in the highest degree ; also, the fire from the fleet, which, two and a half miles distant, commences to take part in the fight. With desperate courage our men rush against the enemy's works ; Malvern Hill is attacked from all sides ; McClellan bravely keeps his ground, and only at twelve at night he yields the position, strong by nature and by art, to the heroic efforts of our troops. The battle of the seventh day will live as the battle of Malvern Hill in the mem ory of the people for all time to come.— In no other battle before Richmond was the fighting confined in so small a space as here, and to this must be added the effects of the ships' mortar batteries. It was a fearful sight to see those 268 pounder shells breaking through the woods. An explosion of one of them seemed to make the earth burst. In no war yet since the commencement of time were projectiles of such size ever used.— The battle of Malvern Hill will be a memorial for that people which manifested here its will and determination as a nation to conquer, or to die for its liberty and independence. Through swamps, woods, and impedi ments of all kinds General McClellan led back his beaten army. He could exclaim with King Francis before Pavia, We have lost everything except our honor !' Unwearied, he pursued his way to the James river, to find shelter under the broadsides of his vessels. We are com pelled to express our highest esteem of Gen. McClellan's military qualities.— There are not many Generals in the Union army who cap compete with him. Deserted in the most desperate situation by his com panion in arms, Gen. McDowell, left to his fate * -4 his line of retreat cut off, he resolved to choose a base of opera tions of which nobody had thought.— Every foot of ground he defended with courage and skill. His last position at Malvern Hill proved his military talent, as did h-s defence and his combinations.— But his troops were too much demoralized by the seven days fighting, and had lost their composure, while some Generals could not understand the ideas of their commander, and supported him badly, or not at all. At Harrison's Landing, where the James river forms a curve, he col lected the shattered fragments of his army under the guns of the fleet. We our selves had no army any more to prevent him from accomplishing it. ADAPTING THEMSELVES TO CIRCITNI STANCES.-A spruce young couple visited a neighboring western city, one day last week, to see friends in the regi ment. They applied at a hotel for lodg ings, but were told that the rooms were full except a small one with a single bed.— This embarrassed them for a while, but after whispering an earnest consultation, these young Americans told the landlord they would take the room, as they thought they could adapt themselves to the cir— cumstances.' So they went to the clergy man and had the nuptial knot tied, and then returned to their room at the hotel, eminently satisfied with their relation.

FEMALE COURAGE. A striking trait of courage in a lady forms the subject of conversation at pres 'ent in the French metyopolis. Madame Aubry lives in a soilitary chateau, not far from the town of—. The family con sisted only of M. Aubry, his wife, a child about a year old, and one maid-servant.— In the little town, every light is out by ten o'clock, and of course the most perfect solitude reigns at that hour in their house, which lies off the road, and is completely hidden by trees. One night last winter, Madame Aubry was sitting alone, reading. Her husband had left her in the morning to visit a friend some six or eight miles off, and, as he expected to bring home a considerable sum of money, he had taken the unusual precaution of arming himself with a pair of pistols. At about six . o'clock, the lady went up to her room to put her child to bed. Her apartment was a large room on the first floor, filled up on one side by an old-fashioned Aim-. ney, and on the other by a deep and spa cious alcove, near which stood her infant's cradle. The night was a gloomy one, cold and dark, and every now and then a dash of rain beat against the gothic windows. The trees in the garden bowed to the wind, and their branches came sweeping against the casement ; in short, it was a night in which th'e solitude of the mansion was more complete and melancholy than usual. Madame Aubry sat down on a low chair near the fire, which by its sudden flashes, oast an uncertain light over the vast apartment, throwing its antique carv ings and mouldings by turns into brighter relief or deeper shade. She had her child on her lap, and had just finished preparing it for the cradle. She oast her eyes to ward the alcove, to see if the cradle was ready to receive its little occupant, whose eyes were already closed. Just then, the fire flashed up brightly, and threw a strong light on the alcove, by which the lady dis tinguished a pair of feet, cased in heavy nailed shoes, peeping out under the cur tain in front of the bed. A thousand thoughts passed through her mind in an instant. The person hidden them was a thief, perhaps an assassin—that was clear. She had no protection, no aid at hand.— Her husband was not to return till eight at soonest, and it was now only half-past six. What was to be done / She did not utter a single cry, nor even start on her seat. The servant girl probably would not have had such presence of mind. The robber probably meant to remain quiet where he was till midnight, and then seize the money her husband was to bring with him ; but if he should find that he was discovered, and that there was no one in the house but two women, he would not tail to leave his hiding-place, and secure their silence by murdering them. Be sides, might not the girl be the robber's accomplice ? Several slight causes of suspicion occurred to her at once, and all these•refiections passed through her mind in less time than we take to write them.— She decided at once what she should do, which was, to send the girl out of the room. 'You know that dish my husband likes,' said she, without betraying her alarm by the least change in the tones of her voice, I ought to have remembered to have it got ready for his supper. Go down stairs, and see about it at once.' 4 Does not madame require my help here, she generally does V 'No, no, I will attend to everything my self. I know my husband would not be pleased, if he was to come home after his ride in such bad weather, and not find a good supper ready.' After some delays, which increased in the lady's mind that suspicion she was forced to conceal, the girl left the room. The noise of her steps on the stairs died away gradually, and Madame Aubry was left alone with her child, with those two feet, motionless at their post, still peeping out under the curtain. She kept by the fire, with her child on her lap, continuing to caress it and sing to it, almost mechan ically. The child cried : it wanted to be put to bed, but its cradle was near the al cove—near thi. se dreadful feet, how could she find courage to go near them ! At last, she made a violent effort. 'Come, my child,' said she, and get up. Hardly able to stand erect, she walked toward the alcove, close to the robber. She put the child in the cradle, singing it ,to sleep as usual. We may im igine ho* much inclination she had to sing. When the child fell asleep, she left it, and resumed her seat by the fire. She did not dare to leave the room ; it would arouse the suspicions of the robber, and of the girl, probably his accomplice. Besides, she could not bear the thought of leaving her child, even if it was to purchase her own safety. The clock pointed to seven. An hour yet, a whole hour, before her husband would come ! Her eyes were fixed on those feet, which threatened her with death at any moment, with a sort of fascination. The deepest silence reigned in the room. The infant slept quietly. We do not know whether even an Amazon, in her place, would have been bold enough to try a struggle with the robber. Madame Aubry bad no arms ; b sides, she made no claims to- valor, but only to that passive courage, founded on reflection, which is far the rarer of the two. Every few minutes, she would hear a noise in the garden. In that noise, a ray of hope shone on her for a moment— it was her husband, it was deliverance ! But no—it was only the wind and rain, or the shutters creaking. What an age every minute seemed to be. 06, heavens ! the feet moved ! Does the thief mean to leave his hiding place ! No. It was only a slight, probably involuntary movement, to ease himself by changing his position. The clock strikes—only once, it is the half hour only—and the clock is too fast, besides! How much anguish, bow many silent prayers in these trying minutes ! Sto took up a book of devotion and tried to read, but her eyes would wander from the page to fix on those heavy shoes. All at once a thought arose that chilled her to the very heart. Suppose her husband should not come ! The weather is stormy, and he has relatives in the village he went to. Perhaps they tiave persuaded him it was unsafe to travel at night with so large a sum of money about him ; perhaps they have forced him, with friendly violence, to yield to their urgent invitations to wait till morning. It is striking eight-- and noboby comes. The idea we have al luded to, appears to her more and more probable. After two hours of such agony, theigtithappy lady, whose courage had been kept up by the hope of final rescue, fees her strength and hope fail her. Soon she hears a noise under the window, and lis tens, doubtfully. I The heavy onter-door creaks on its hinges, and shuts with a clamor ; a well-known step is heard on the stairs, and a man enters—a tall, stout man. It is he, it is he ! At that mo 7 merit, if he had been the worst of all hus bands, he would have been perfection in his wife's eyes. He had only taken off his wet cloak and put away his pistols, and delighted at again seeing what he loves most on earth, opens his arms to embrace his wife. She clasps him convul sively, but in a moment, recovering her self-possession, puts her finger on his lips, and points to the two feet peeping out under the curtain. If M. Aubry had been wanting in presence of mind, he would not have de served to be the husband of such a woman. He made a slight gesture to show he un derstood her, and said aloud; Excuse me, my dear, I left th.e money down stairs.— I'll be back in two minutes.' Within that time he returned, pistol in hand. He looks at the priming, walks to the alcove, stoops, and while the forefinger of his right hand is on the trigger, with the other hand, he seizes one of the feet, and cries in a voice of thunder, ' Surrender, or you're a dead man !' He drags by the feet into the middle of the room a man of most ill-favored aspect, crouching low to avoid the pistol which is held within an inch of his head. He is searched, and a sharp dagger is found on him. He con fesses that the girl was his accomplice, and had told him M. Aubry would bring t, large sum home that night. Nothing re mains it( w, but to give them over to the authorities. Madame Aubry asked her husband to pardon them, but the voice of duty is louder than that of pity. When M. Aubry heard from his wife all she had gone through, he could only say, Who would have thought yOu so courageous !' but in spite of her courage, she was at tacked that night with a violent nervous fever, and did not ge,t over her heroism for several days. Artemas Ward, showman, speaks sooth, our distrust of the ' mejums' will be somewhat shaken. In the course of a lec ture recently delivered by Artemas, in Detroit, speaking of the discoveries and inventions of the present age, he would mention spiritualism as one of the most im portant. At .one of the circles recently held at the White House in Washington, the question was asked if the spirit, of Andrew Jackson was present. The reply was, No, not much.' It was then asked, 'Has the spirit of Jackson been here recent ly?" to"which the reply was given that 'the spirit of Jackson had not been within a hundred miles of Washington for a good many years.
