[Doling the fierce cannOnading, 'Nickajack ; a.

" No. 1," whose dray it is lo turn down - the" cluirge"

The bird, as we have Slated, perched:ltself:on this'
Man's shoulder, imdeould.notbc driven froth the Po
sition by the violent motions of the gunner. When
the piece was dischqd.the poor little thing would

Possibly frightened at the vloleritcommotion hauled:
by the battle, .and .not 'knowing how.to escape or,

Upon the kennel's shoulder,
•
(Union gunner, Number.one,
None deadlier none bold . er,) ,
Burned the red beams:of. the sun., -
Down breast, and back, and armanf might,'
Rolled thesweat of desperate strength '
And a ticrynsiat, and a lurid light,
Shone round his straining length.
The cannon, thunder-throated, •
The swift and swooping
Laughed miirdetiugly, and gloated'. •
O'er the work they did so well,
And many a limbless trunk they burled
O'er many a bloody tnick,
Before our Flag its folds unfurled
From the, height., of Nickajacki
.
Whilst round that. gunner's shoulder
The deadly fire bolts 'whirred,
There, seen. by many a soldier,
Lite fatty little bird. . •
Its wings against its panting breast ' •
It flapped, with terror smote, ;
And Its golden songs were all at test
In its soft scarlet throat.
its wines like ItWilets trembled,
A little llying,flower.
That tiny bird resembled, ' "
Borne ruddy. from its bower—
As though a flower had felt what fright t
Could mean, that all life through
Susi only fed upon • • , : •
. And only drunk the dew.
Perhaps, as thus it nestled .. . -
Round the gunner's sturdy - neck; ,
Whilst at his post he wrestled
And held the foe in check,
Could it have pot its - thoughtsinwords,f
It would have said,'" Not long
Ago the air was fall of birds
And the birds were full oescing."
And when, with each fresh thunder,
Sore hurt with new despair,
It hid its small self under
The gunner's tangled hair.
Quick memories of the summers dead,
Birdlike through its bosom flew—
Of dainty flowers, whose lips, blood-red,
Sucked the silver.hiairtcd dew.
Sweet psalmist cifthe summer,
So sweet—so incest and small I
To thee, as a new-comer,
And gentlest guest of all,
~."Soft should the soft winds sigh that pet
The flowers that near thee groW . ,
And the sunlight's kiss drop delicate
As a MentibP flake of snow.
Loud, loud will be thy trilling,
When dumb the cannon's mouth,
Sweet silence once more tilling
The summers at the South,
The psople.'s pulse, the nation's heart
Their irightfurthrobs shall cease,
And a quiet smile shall lightly part
The petfect lips of pcaea.
Oh ! the hearts of men that tremble,
And pine for Singnefal peace,
That frantic bird resemble!
God I on the conflict cease,
Grant that each heart yet beating frog
For the Right against the Wrong,
May Its own Bird of Battle be,
And sing the perfect song. A. E. L.

Becky 'Martel tied the Stalker bonnet resolutely
over silky brown curls which would have drit en a
Broadway hairdresser frantic with envy; 'and drew
back tha curtain of the kitchen window, admitting
a flood of bright May sunshine over the well scoured

Well, after ail, there may be as much romance in
a kitchen as in a boudoir. Don't you believe It?
Then f wish you could have seen the bunch of pur

tin tea kettle prOsing on, , the stove, and the glowing
scarlet papers that hung: above the chimney, and

Miss Anastasia was a little puzzled at the new

dowir stairs -to resume-the perusal of the yellow-

ONE BRICK Wnorco..LNot long ago some work
men were engaged in building a large brick tower,
which was to be carried up very high. The master
builder was very particular in charging h
t—A masons
to lay every brick with the greatest care, especially
in the that courses, or rows,- which had to bear the
weight of all the rest of the building. However,
one of the workmen did not mind what had-been
told him. In laying a connr ' he very carelessly left
one of the bricks a little crooked, out of line; or,
ss the masons call it, "not .rumb." " Well," you
may say, "It was only one slegle. brick in a great
riibi Of them. What cilliorence does It make if that
was cot exactly straight?" You will see directly.
The work went on. Nobody noticed that there
was one brick wrong. But as each new course of
brick was kept in a Ilnewith those already laid, the
tower was not put up exactly straight, and the high
er they built It the more Insecure it became. One
day, when the tower had been carded up about arty
feet a tremendous crash was heard. The building
bad fallen to the ground, burying the workmen In
the ruins. All the previous work was lost, and the
materials were wasted; and worse than thhirvalurs
bie lives were isacriileed--and all becausie one brick
had bent laid wrong at the start. The workman wpo
carelessly laid that brick wrong, little thought what
a dangerous thing he was doing, and what terrible
harm would result from his neglect.
My dear young friend, you are now building up
your character. In the habits you now form you are
laying the foundation of that character. 0130 bad

TEE 131:100ESBIRM RAH THE GREAT MAH.
If General Sherman sold the things that are dc
credited to him to an article that is now going the
rounds of the Journals, he proves himself as good
tallter as he is a writer. H'ds letters to Gen. Hood
anMlie Mayor of Atlanta were rifle shota; and his
reported sentiments on cotton shark's, great Gnner
as, and the closing of the war, are equally papa.
But the point in the article named, especially at
tractive to us, Is- embodied in these words of the
'crazy' Tecumseh:
•
"As to the popularity you speak of I know very
well of what stuff It Ls made: lam popular as long
aa I am - successful. Nut only 'the Amerieurprees,
but the Loudon papers, pml.o MQ as the.Gerteral of
the ago. Why ? Because I have crossed egreat,ex
tent of country and by a long and perikrus marsh,
have caused en important city total! into our hands.
All this is very well. But suppose In the campaign
I am about to undertake, I meet the combludd force*
of Le., ikafareguard, and Hardee, and fall—awhat
would be my tale then ? Why, every laurel I have
won, everything I have done, would belorgottep;
there Is not a tree high enough to hang me upon;
I should be dragged down from the pillar ofAmp. to
rot In obscurity in some remote corner of the. West,
and the great General would bee LiMure,
