THE BATTLE HELD."'
This noble poem of Bryant's is so season-
j able at the present time that we reprint it
Like many other good things, time has given
it new virtue.
Once this soft turf, this riTiilet'a sands.
Were trampled by a hurrying crowd,
And fiery hearts and armed hauds
Lucountored in the battle cloud.
Ah ! never shall the land forgot
How gushed the life-blood of hcrbarvc,
Cush'd, w.irm with hope and courage yet,
Upon the soil they fought to sivc.
Now all is calm, and fresh, and still ;
Alone the chirp of flittering bird,
AuJ. talk of children on the hill,
And I ell of wandering tine are beard.
No solemn host goes trailing by
The black niouth'd gun and staggering
Men start not at the battle-cry ; waiu ;
Oh ! be it never heard again.
Soon rested those who fought ; but thou
Who miuglest in the harder strife
For truths which men receive not now,
Thy warfare only ends with life,
A Iriendless warfare! lingering long:
Through weary day and weary year,
A wild and many weapou'd throng
IUug on thy 1'ioDt, and flank, and rear.
Tet, nerve thy spirit to lie proof.
And bleueh not at thy choseu lot ;
The timid good may fttand aioof.
The sage may frown yet faint thou not.
Nor heed the shaft too surely cast,
The hissing, stinging bolt of scorn ;
For aith thy side shall dwell, at last,
The victory of endurance bora.
Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again.
The eternal years of (Jod are hers ;
But trior, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among his worshippers.
Yea. though thou lie upon the dust,
When they who help'd thee flee in fear.
Die full of hope and manly trust,
L ie those who fell in battle here.
Anotbir band thy sword shall ield,
An jther hand the standard wave.
Till from the trumpet's mouth is peal'd
The blast of triumph o'er thy grave.

less prompt and graceful because our

JtoubtleKs in those day there was op

his Clymcr some tory sympathizer, some
cold, polished gentleman too respectable
to associate with the ragged Pennsylvania
line, or feci for the martyrs of the com

people of those days believed that the
men who fought tor their country were
the safe ones to govern it, and that those j

That ancient grave, ia the churchyard

What community of feeling or interest

Consistent ouly in his cold opposition to
Jiis country and his country's army, is it
not revolting to mention his name with

it not wrong to fpeak ot him when we

No; the great armies of our dead,

A 13 EATIFUL SENTIMENT.
Shortly before the departure of the la
menttd Ileber of India, he preached a
sermon which contaiued this beautiful
seutiment :
"Life bears us on like the stream of a
mighty river. Our boat at first glides
down the narrow channel through thc
playful murmtisings of the little brook
and the windings of its grassy borders.
Thc trees shed their blossoms over our
young heads ; the Cowers seem tj offer
themselves to the young hands wo are
happy in hope, and grasp eagerly at the
beauty around us but the stream hurries
on, and still our hands are empty. Our
course in youth, and roauhood is along
wilder and deeper flood, amid objects more
striking and magnificent. We are ani
mated at the moving pictures and enjoy,
ments and industry around us ; wo are ex
cited at some short lived disappointment
The streams bear us on, and our joys arc
alike left bchiud us. We may be ship
wrecked, but we cannot be delayed ; wheth
er rough or smooth, the river hastens to
its home, till the roar of the ocean is in
our cars, and the tossing of the waves be
ueath our feet, and thc floods are lifted
up around us, qcd we take our leave of
earth and its iuhabitants, until of our fu
ture voyage there is no witness save the
Infinite and Eternal."
ta? A young minister went into the
country to preach, and observed, during
his discourse, a poor woman who seemed
to be much affected. After the service
he resolved to pay her a visit, and see
what were tha impressions on Lcr mind.
"Well" said he, "what were yoa so
much affected about during the service ?"
"Oh, sir," said the woman, "I'll tell
yoa. About six years ago, me and my
husband removed to this place, and all
the property we had was a poor doukcy.
Husband he died, and then me and poor :
donkey was left alono. At last, doukey
he died, aud, to tell you the truth, your
voice put me in mind of that dear old
critter, that I couldn't hslp taking on and
crying about it."

A YANKEE TRICK;
Just before (he declaration of Indepen
dence, a yankee peddler started down to
! New York to sell a lot of bowls aftd diabei
I he had made of maple. Jonathan travel-
cd over the city, asking everybody to buy
I his wares, tut no one was disposed to pur
chase.
It happened that a British fleet was
then lying in the harbor of New York,
and Jonathan struck upon a plan of cell
ing bis dishes. He got a naval uniform,
by hook or by crook (for history doesn't
tell where he got it,) and strutting up
town one morning, asked a merchant if
he had any nice wooden wire, as the com
modore wanted a lot for the fleet.
Thc merchant replied that he had dods
oo hand, bat there was some in town, and
if he would send in the afternoon ho would
supply him with pleasure.
"Very good," said our naval ofSccr, "I
will call then."
Jona'han now cut for home by the
shortest route, and had scarcely doffed his
borrowed plumage beforo down came the
merchant, who, seeing that Jonathan had
suld none ot his waics, offered to take the
whole if he would deduct fifteen per cent.
Hut Jonathan said he'll be goll darned if
he didn't take 'em borne before he'd take
less than his first price.
The merchant finally paid him down ia
gold his price for the wooden ware, which
lay on his shelves for many a long'day
thereafter; while Jonathan trotted home
! in high glee at the success cf bis man
oeuvre, while the merchant cursed British
officers ever after.
AM'EEW JOHNSON-
In the United States Senate, I'eeetnbcr
1?, 1S0, Andrew Johnson, Senator from
the State of Tennessee, eaid ;
I believe we have the power in our own
hands, and I am not willing to shrink
from the responsibility pf exercising that
power. I am for abiding by the
Constitution, and in abiding by it I want
to maintain and retain my place here and
put down Mr. Lincoln and drive back his
advances upon Southern institutions, if be
designs to make any. Have we not got
the brakers in t.ur hands ? Have we cot
got the power ? W6 have. Let South
Carolina send her Senators back ; let al!
thc Senators come ; aud on the 4th of
March next we shall have a majority of
six in this body against him. This sec
tional candidate, who is in a minority of a
million, or ucarly so, on the popular vote,
cannot make his Cabinet on the 4th of
March next, utiles this Senate wi'l per
mit him. Am I to be so great a coward
as to ret.-eat from duty ? I will staud
litre and resist all encroachments and ad
vances. Here is the place to stand. Shall
I desert tha citidol and let the enemy
come and take possession 7 No, Can
Mr. Lint-t.'ln send a foreign miuistcr. or
even a consul, abroad, unless lie receives
the sanction of the Senate ? Can Lc ap
point a postmaster, whose salary is over
-51,000 a year, without the cooseut of th
Senate ? Shall wc desert our posts, shrink
I'toni our responsibilities, aud permit Mr.
Lincoln, to come with his cohorts, as we
jcousider them, from the North, aud carry
away everythiug ?
fcif-The following anecdote is good
enough for a second reading, if any one
has chanced to meet with it before :
When Daniel Webster was delivering his
memorable speech at thc dedication of
Hunker Hill Monument, the crow! press
ed forward to such au extent that some
were fainting and some crushed. Officers
strove in vain to make the crowa stand
back. They said it eoald not be done.
Sonic one asked Mr. Webster to make an
appeal to tber.i. . The great orator came
forward, stretched forth his baud, and
said, indeed, stentorian tones, 'Geu
tlcmcn, siaud back." 'It cannot be done !'
they shouted. "Gentlemen, stand back,"
said he, without a chauge of voice. "It
is impossible, Mr. Webster, impossible."
"Impossible?'' repeated Mr. Webster,
"impossible ? Xothiay is impossible on
Bunker tlill ."' and the vast crowd sway
ed and rolled back like a mighty wava
of tbe ocean.
