Spirit the Fair, published at the New. yoikl,Sanitary Fair, contains three sonnets by Mrs. Frances Anne Kemble, which it prefaces as follows tcLest any one ' in reading the followingnoble :sonnets,- should have- their pleasure marred, •though but for a moment, . by a misconception Of their meaning,a word of explanation may not 'be out of place. “The first poem is intended to speak for the - 'Conservative' aristocracies—those who caught .ups and. echoed the jeering cry of the London ,Times, gThe_Great Republic is no more!' The second is the wail of those true but „faint hearts who, also accepting as inevitable the ruin of this country, see in her going down not it triumph, but the quenching of that 'star of redemption' which they had 'Rayed might -one day shine over 'the whole earth,' bringing aightinto all its dark places. “I n the;last, the writer, like another Miriani, tak - es her‘timbrel ,in her hand,' and answers :both the sneer and the.despair. ;We need only add that Mrs. Kemble, in the letter enclosing her verses, says, that to rise to the occasion she 'should 'need the pen of both Milkrt and Wordsworth.' " - • FIRST SONNET. She "has.gond clown! They shout it from afar. , Rings,. Nobles, Priests—all men of Avery race, Whose lingering clogs Time's swift relentless She has gone down! Our evil- boding star! 'Me/Sell/on, smitten with Rebellion's sWord„ .A.narchy, done to death by slavery— . Ofancient-Riglit, arrogant enemy, Beneath a. hideous cloud of civil war • Strife such as heathen slaughterers had ab Tlae - lawless band, who would call no man lord, ~ Spurning all wholesome curb, and dreaming free Her .rabble rule's licentious tyranny, In the fierce splendor of her insolent morn, b'he has gone down—the world's eternal scorn! SECOND SONNET She.has,gone down! Woe for the. world! and al Its weary workers looking troth afar To the clear rising of that hopeful star, Star of redemption to each weeping thrall Of Pow'r decrepit,. and of Rule outworn; "BiatitifaUdawning of that blessed . mOrn, Whictrwas . to bringleave for the poor to live, To worliand eat, to labor and to thrive, ;Ind:righteous - room for all who nobly strive. She has gone down! Woe for the panting world Pack on its path of progress sternly hurl` d. Land of sufficient harvests for all dearth, Rome of all highest hopes—Time's richest birth; ' Woe for the promised land of the whole Earth! THIRD SONNET Triumph not, fools—and weep not, ye faint-hearted; Have ye believed that the divine decree Of Heavy it had g iv' n this people o'er to perish? Have ye believed that God would cease to cherish This great New World of Christian liberty? And that our light forever had departed? Nay by the precious blood shed to redeem , The nation from its selfishness and sin, Fy each true heart that burst in holy write, Leaving its kindred hearts to break through life; By the tears that will not cease to stream • For ever, every desolate home within, We wilrreturn to our appointed place, First in the vanguard of the human race!

The Association have already secured-the purchase of CEmamExtv - BILL, (Jura.' a HILL, GRANITE BPHIL and ROUND TOP, With - the entrenchments thrown up just upon the eve of the great conflict which was the turning point in the career of the rebellion. The field, with its redoubts, wonderful stone defences, its timber breast- , a orks, itsforest heights, with the trees torn by shells and countless bullets, and its long lines of earthwork defences, have all been preserved intact, and to so continue to preserve them, as to be a monument forever of the greatest of American Battle-flelds, is the object of the formation of the Association.

VOLUNTARY DELEGATES, in numbers greater than ever before, have been sent to preach the Gospel at the stations and in regiments, bat teries and camps without Chaplains, distribute reading matter and stores, and labor for the good of the Soldiers. • A PERMANENT FIELD AGENCY has been sufficiently extended to establish stations an d superintend tha.vork. THE BLESSING OF GOD rests signally on all parts of the. work. Many thousands have been cheered, benefited and saved. Still 'a large part of the Army remains unreached, and double the number, both of stations and delegates, are needed to meet the urgent demand for them. The Christian clommis.sion offers to the people a perfectly reliable and wonderfully economical channel to reach the entire army in all its various -fields. The money given goes- in full measure, in benefits for body and soul, directly to the Soldiers; and stores also, immediately from the hands of delegates from home, who add words and deeds of kindness to the gifts when bestowed. Let the people give the Money and Stores, and the work will be dono. - The large corps of Delegates now in the field will serve as a grand corps of relief when the armies shall move and battles be fought, and the greater their number the more prompt and effec tive will be the relief they shalt render. Let not the present work languish. Wait not for the cry of the wounded and dying before pro viding relief.
