The earth lay breathless in Hie heat, with its tbousandAongues in wood and field too faint for their accustomed low, mysterious speech. The Long Island shore, white tind cvesecnted, hated its bosoms like Dannoa w> the golden embraces uf the sun. In the meadows the heavy-crestcd grasses with nodding beads boat time to the sweet wash of waves upon the beach. Yellow spires of the golden rod pierced the air like steeples. The .tulip tree, robed like a priest in boreal green, hfcld Up to beaten with branching arms a thou sand golden cfialiecs.. Far away across the Bound lay the. Connecticut shore trembling! through mist, while behind me, from the green i recesses of a desetted garden, the oriole poured ■ forth his monotone of (sorrow. As I sauntered down the little path that led from tho bouse where I was.boarding for the 1 summer, to my fsvoril,c hauntby tho sea-shore, with cluuds of insects springing from the grass like a Hying sppay step I took, 1 sud denly Heard thd saocy notes of that low com edian of .birdsj, the Bob-o-Link. As I hayc | always had a friendly feeling toward this otno- j thologioal farceun I set to work to obtain on ] interview with him. I'was not long in discov- j ering his wherejabonts., He was sitting on the, stump of a rail (chattering vehemently, and aa well as I oriderstood his language,- impudently ; preening his feathers, cocking bis head on one 1 side, ns if he had a passion for seeing Nature j upside down, and shaking his wings as though i ho contemplate:) an immediate migration to the egast of Africa. About every balf-minuto; or so be Svould suddenly leave his perch, and . flying a little distance, fiy into the long meadow grass, when instantly 'would proceed a most astonishing vocal effort, after which he would,! re-appear and resume his rail in triumph. Ilia ■ frequent journeys to the same spot led mo to 1 suspect that he had some private interest in j that quartdr —a nest, or. a young bride perhaps, and that be was in fact passing -bis honey-’! moon, so I walked toward the place in which I j saw biro disappear last, determined to be a wit ness of his) domestic bfiss. ] It seemeil to m|e tbnta human head was ly ing alone and bodiless, in the deep green sea of 'glass thatsurrouhded mo. -A beautiful youthls head, blonde and spiritual, looking up at me 'with a calnb'unfrightoned look, while nestling: close to its i pale, rounded cheek, hushed and rather astonish, ed by my appearance, sat Mas ter- Bot-o-Ilp'. . The headl however was not without a body. The long lending gra’ss met over the form, leaving exposed only the pale, beautiful face, which looked Ukt an exquisite Venetian picture framed in gtdd and green. ‘‘Good mJirninJj, Sir,’ 11 said the youth in a sweet vuicc ns lihent oyer him, looking, I sup posed, a little bewildered at this sudden appa rition, anM fotidKng at the same time Master Buli-odinll with: long slender fingers. “Good morning, Sir." j * • “Good morning,” I tinswerod. “You seem to be taking things quietly here.” lie gave nj suddeu glabce downward toward his feet, andla si>d smile; flickered over his lips. “Tam obliged to take things quietly,” be said. “Ah! A. an invuifL . suppose. lam sorry. “I am paralyzed, Sir.” No words pan,paint tile tone of ulterdespair in which hejnade this terrible statement. If you have evejr spoken, with a man who had spent twenty years in l solitary confinement, you will .have noticed the unearthly calm of his voice, tlic low modotuue df sound, the loneliness of accent. IVellJ this hjd’s'voice sounded so. lie talked like one shut 'out of life. I made a place for myself |n the grass, and sat down be side him. [ “I was attracted by ypur bird,” I said; “I thought lie imdl n ncstj here, and so followed him. I trust lam not intruding,” -Not at al). Sir; I opi glad to have some one to speak tlo. lAs for Sob, he has a nest here, but it's in my heart He is the only thing on earth that loves die." • “You take too sad a viiow -of life, my friend. Your calamity is greet, no doubt, but still—” “Ah l|gir, it’s all well enough tp talk so when you have limbs and health and freedom., \Vhen ■ you- enn work and go out into life and tread the earth wi th the full consciousness of being. But whet ever you can remember you have been hut the moiety of a man, utterly | helpless, utterly djependent, an infant, without I-An infantls hnppy undonsciousness.

Bob, ou this summons, left feis post hy the ■ lad’s cheek where he had remained perfectly i still, taken an inventory of my person with his 1 round', bright 'eye, and apparently measuring j me fora suit of clothes. aind suddenly flew into {the,ait. where he suramei-sSalted and pirbuet , ted and Affected to lose tire Vise iff his Wmgs and tumhle xrolu an appalling height, invaria- 'rt’HlLE THEBE SHALL «E A WRONG UNB.IQHTED, AND CXTIL "MAK’S INnUMANITY TO MAN” SHALL CEASE, MUST CONTtStJfi, TIOOA dOUKTY, PA., WEDNESDAY MOBOTG.

This is a charming hook that we are in, soil’ll just lito a cigar, and .do you talk.” - 1 The free arid easy manner I assumed, seemed to surprise him. ,He glanced shyly at me out of bis.lnrgo blue eyes, as if to assure himself .of the presence of at least one friend,.and say-. ing.f'as you please,” commenced; ;-j “l am ho said; ‘‘you would not think it, for I know 1 look younger than I am. Confinement and suffering have made my com plexion pale and transparent, and the snn and winds that harden other men’s skins and ape their features, have had but little to do with me. :Evor since lean remember, I bare been paralysed in the lower limbs. For years I lay upon an inclined piano of board, looking up at the ceiling with a’ mind very nearly ns blank ns the white plaster jl gazed at. My father died when I was a mere’.'infant, and there was no one left in the house but mother and Cousin Alice, and me.” “Cousin Alice,” I said ; “who is she ?” Ilia, eyes wandered timidly toward tbe house behind the maples, ns if be expected some ap paration to start from thence on the very in stant. •‘Cousin Alice,” be repeated vaguely, “well, she’s—Cousin Alice.” I ‘Excessively explanatory,” 1 said, lughlng. “Is' Cousin Alice young?” “My age.” “Is she pretty,?” - ■ One, deep, reproachful look of those dark blue eyes told me a 11.,.

She is very fond of him, and he of her. It is they who bring me down between them to this place every fine day, and I sit here with Bob, while they go off and pick nuts, and—and—’’and here tbe picture was too much for him, and the poor fellow bursi into tears. - < No wonder. -To have his misfortune paradeij through necessity before the woman he loved. To be carried about like a piece of furniture, by her and his' rival. How often that poor heart must have smitten bitterly ! How often those cripled limbs thrilled with the deepest agony 1 ‘ ; I took his band iri mine, but he did not say n ivnri. There are times when consolation is cruel. Tt was better than nil words, to let him' fell by the pressure jof my hand that ha had found a friend. Wd sal this way forsome time until I Was ftrous.ed from a painful reverie, into which I had fallen by a long, black shadow be ing projected across-the spot in which we were sitting. I looked up and saw a tall,,handsome young bronzed cheeks and curly chestnut hair, on whose arm was banging an exceedingly lovely ybung girl, whose face was a perfect treasury of archness and innocence.— They looked rather surprised at seeing me, but I explained how it was that I came to be there, and they seemed, satisfied. “Harry, isn’t it time to onmehomo?” said the young girl. “Ralph and I are come for you.” I , "Thank you Alice ; but I’d like to stay an hour lunger. The. day is so bright and sunny, that it is a shame to> be in-dpora. You don’t want la go home yetj" and he looked at Ralph os be said this with a bitter expression of coun tenance, that perhaps I alone observed, but which seemed to say; It will give you an hour more to wander together. Of course you don’t want to go home. “Well, as your please, Harry. Ralph and I will go off’to the pond in the cedar grove and come back in about an itour. But I say, Har ry, look here; isn't this pretty?” and as she apoke-she held out a little box for his inspec tion. He opened it and disclosed a pretty little ring, set with garnets! While he looked at it, "Alice stooped over and with u blush .whispered something in bis cor; which made him, to my keener sight, quiver in all that part of him that was alive. .It was but momentary, how ever, for he restored the box, saying ooldly : “Well, I wish you both every happiness.— You will find mo'bero when you return.” As they walked slowly away, lie followed them with his eyes, then turned to me.’ "They are to be married next Sunday,” bp said. I felt all th« meaning of his words, I pitied him. Solitude is a need to him at this mo ment ; 1 will leave him. As 1 pulled uut my watch and prepared fur my department, be said to me: ' “I am exceedingly obliged to you sir, for your company, but I wont you, to do me one more favor before you leave. You are strong and lam light. Please take me to the giant’s chair. I love to sit on it and dip my band in the aalt wash of the Sea.” ‘‘But are you hot afraid of slipping and fall ing in?” I asked, fpr,the gmht’s chair was a fantastically'shaped rock a few hundred yards ■down tbebbach, around whose fuggad'bate the Sei at high tfde, wssVtcd vlami iron sly. •'Oh,' no,” he nusticrcd; "there is f cleft ii> 1 * / Jly conjecture was correct. About a week after this, the body of the poor paralytic was washed ashore some miles down the bench hold-' ing with desperate clutch in one hand a little daguerreotype of his Cousin Alice. And Bob; he missed the accustomed hand. For days after his master’s death, he used to fiy down to the old place in the meadow and borer around there, waiting, for him who nev- er more would come. This lasted for about a fortnight, when Ralph, in passing by, found the poor bird dead in the which still bore the impress of his muster’s form. ' . A Model Body-Guard. “ Brick” Pomeroy, of tho La Crosse (Wis.) Democrat, on being invited to assist in forming a body-guard for President Lincoln, and after due consideration, decided to “go in,” prove ded the following basis could be adopted and rigidly adhered to throughout the war; The company shall he entirely composed of Colonels, who draw pay and rations in adi.lKM, Every man shall have a commission, Uvo.scr vanfs and white kids. Each man shall be mounted in a covered buggy, drawn by two white stallions. Ruder the seat of each buggy shall he a cup-board, containing cold chicken, pounded ice and champagne, a /a members of Congress, and military officers at Bull Run. Each man shall have plenty of cards and red chips to play poker with. The only side arms, to be Opera glasses, champagne glasses, and gold-headed canes. The duty of the company shall be to take observations of battle, and on no account shall it be allowed to approach nearer than ten miles of the seat of war. Behind each buggy shall he an ambulance, so arranged ns to be,converted into a first class boarding house in the daytime, and a sumptu ous sleeping and dressing room at night. The regimental band must be composed of pianos and guitars, played by young ladies, who shall neter play a quickstep except in case of retreat. Reville shall not he sonnded till late break fast time, and not then if any of the regiment ling a headache. In case of a forced march into an enemy's country, two miles a week shall bo the maxi mum, and no marches shall be made except the country .abound in game, or if any mem bers of the regiment object. Kid gloves, gold tooth picks, cologne, hair dressing silk, underclothes, cosmetics, and other rations to be furnished by the Govern ment. Each member shall-be allowed a reporter for some New York paper, who shall draw salary of two hundred dollars a week, for puffs, from the “ incidental” fund. , 5 Every member shall be- in command, and when one is promoted all are'to be. Commissions never to be revoked. In Sangor, Me., there resides a certain Will iam S -, a teamster, who is noted for his jollity, and also 1 for keeping late hours, os be generally goes home at two o’clock in the morn ing.

Kb other than n human cry for shelter and protection toudbes the benevolent, sympa thetic heart with a more piteous, appealing sound, than to hear one of these “ wee, help less things,” come beating against the window-, pane, to which the cheerful light within has attracted it, and from which any movement of welcome will send it frightened away. Winter birds excite our interest and curiosity in many respects. First, their extreme hardi ness, so, superior to (bat of other birds that they find summer in our season of frost and snow, is sufficient to call forth our wonder and admiration. To what their great power of re sisting cold is due-r-hy what means they are enabled to lire in temperature that would prpvo fatal to tenderer’' birds—whether on the ap proach of spring they seek a more northern latitude—what they find to eat when the ground is frozen and perhaps covered deep with snow —when they fold their wings at the coming of the bleak, wintry night, when the leafless trees can afllird no shelter—the popular superstition that the appearance of flocks of snow-birds; sol,called,.indicates a speedy fall of snhw, while hrhwn birds arc held to be sore prednrsors of rain—these and other tend to invest them with a peculiar and romantic in terest. , * IVo are accustomed to think and speak of winter as a season made desolate by tho ab sence of bright'flowors, green leaves, singing birds, and babbling brooks; and to perhaps' most of us the coming and going of tho robin, the, blue bird, the. oriole, the bob-o-link, and j other summer birds, soem worthy of attention ; the, habits and movements of the winter king, the' chick a-dee, and the whole class of hardy; feathered songsters passing nearly or quite un noticed. Indeed, we easily ttnd naturally asso ciate birds with summer; Rfrds and winter are scarcely thought of together. Tbe difference between summer, and winter birds, with respect to their gentleness and fa miliarity with man, almost warrants us in dis tinguishing the former as tame or domestic, the latter as wild birds. Those hover about onr dwellings, seem to invite our acquaintance and ising ,for our satisfaction. They pick -and eat,our berries, help us destroy noxious in-,-, sects, build their.nosts hardly outside our hou ses.'almost taking materials out of our hands to put into them, and in various ways signify their desire fur human companionship. These, on the contrary, though they not altogether shun the abodes of men, manifest the most providing shyness in all their movements.— They pay us only flying \i.-its, andauy attempt at coaxing frightens them into instant depar ture, The singing seems not intended for our ears. L’nlike the full gushing melody of sum mer, birds, that commands attention by its heartiness and continuance, theirs is scarcely a single note, uttered in a hurried way, almost escaping observation, but, when heard, convcy ing'tothecar a simple, exquisite wildness of tone, in keeping with the free, rude, untamed nature of tho i\\v> Yorker, J A Remarkable Incident, Spmo time ago a private in the Nineteenth Indiana Regiment was tried by a court.martial for flesertiog bis post, and found guihy, the punishment for which is death. His execution was deferred for some time, and he was kept in a pdinful state of suspense. At last the time was fixed for his execution, and five regiments wero drawn up in line to witness it, while a file of twelve.men were in advance to execute the sentence of death by shooting him. The prisoner was lead forward blindfolded, and the usual words of preparation and com mand went given in a low, measured tone by the officer in command. Boring the interval between the commands “ Take aim” and ‘Eire j’ and before the last was given, a horseman rode rapidly up the road, waving in the air a paper, which was understood by all to bo a reprieve. Covered by dust and perspiration, the officer rode hurriedly up to th; officer in command and delivered to him what really proved to be a reprive. The shout “reprive” fell upon the.poor sol dier’s ear, which was already strained to the .utmost in anticipation of hearing the last and final word that was to usher his.soul into the presence of his Creator; it was to much for him, amljie fell back upon his coffin apparent ly dead. The bandage was- removed from his eyes but reason had taken its flight, and be be come a hopeless maniac. He was discharged from the army and sent Inane to his friends." His death had never really been intended, but it was deemed necessary for the good order and discipline of the army to make an impression upon not only himself but the whole brigade; for that purpose the forms of the execution wero regularly gone through with, in presence of five regiments, and the reprieve arrived in good time, as it was intended. It was sought, by this means, to solemly impress upon the whole assemblage of soldiers the necessity of a strict observance of duty amf obedience, under penalty of an ignominious death. It was a fearful ordeal for thd deserter, but'it wai’cer ttiinly better than! to' have completed,the trage dy by sending his soul to “that' bourne from which oo traveller returns.” (jeenr.—thin you nut divine the signs of the times ?
