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!

AN APPEAL
TO LOYAL UNNSYLVANIANS.
The ',GETTYSBURG BATTLE-FIELD ME.
MORIAL ASSOC/ATION' ' was instituted for the
- purpose of securing, forever, the principal points
upon the great battle-field of the war, in the &act
condition in which' they were left in July, 1863,,
when the rebel hordes of the invader LEE were
driven back from the free soil of Pennsylvania,
and when the gallant soldiers of GENERAL MEADE
remained in possession of the field which they had
*On by their valor. 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.
To enable a large number of persons to join in thi
patriotic work, the projectors of the plan placed
the subscriptions at ten dollars each. The payment
of this sum MARTS EACH SUBSCRIBER A BEEMBEir

iinking himself directly with the fled where the
lofty heroism of his couLtrymen vindicated the
'integrity of the_ Union and the p rinciples of Free
dom 7 And who would not desire to hand down as
a precious heir-loom to his children:' the evidence
of his part in the good work, bearing, as the certi.

TERLOO'? .- ' -
There are no salaried officers in this Association,

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.
Send now and sent abundantly both money and
stores, and the soldiers' blessing shall be upon
yon.
Send money to JOSEPH PATTERSON, Trea
surer, at Western Frank, and stores to
