CUSTOMERS ' THE SOLDIER’S MOTHER. There eomes new light to her dimming eye. As sbo opens the fatal scroll With a dying hope, whose wondrous charm - Holds her hack from her nearing goal. No tear for her darling, who, fresh from her arms. For his country his life-blood hath shed; Bat her thin lips part as the broken heart ‘ lakes in the record—" Lead/” Old friends and true bend kindly down, ' And are murmuring soft and low j But her dying glance Is upon the line That is sealing a mother's woe; - And the whisper seems like the voice of dreams When nights first gloom fs gone "Fighting he fell, with his face to the foe. Cheering bis comrades on.” The paper falls from a lifeless hand, As she goes to her hero’s side; Bnt a smile is stamped on the rigid lip. In the life of a mother’s pride ; For there steals on the air, like a battle prayer, To bless her soul’s new dawn—r "Fighting be fell, with his face to the foe. Cheering bis comrades on.” THE TENNESSEE BLACKSMITH. Near the cross-roads, not far from the Cum berland mountains, stood the village forge.. The smith was a sturdy man of fity. He was re spected, wherever known, for bis sturdy integ rity. He served God, and feard no roan—and it might be safely added, nor devil-either. His courage was proverbial in the neighborhood; and it was a common remark with those wish ing to pay any person a high compliment, to say, “Heis as brave as old Bradley.” One night, toward the close of September, ae he stood alone by the anvil plying bis labors, his countenance evinced a peculiar satisfaction, as he brought his hammer down with a vigorous stroke on the heated iron, "While blowing the bellows be would occasionally pause and shake his head, as if communing with himself. He was evidently meditating upon something of a serious nature. It was during one of these pauses that the door was thrown open, and a pale trembling figure staggered into the shop, and sinking at the smith’s feet, faintly ejacu lated : “ In the name of Jesus, protect me !" As Bradley stooped to raise the prostrate form, three men entered, the foremost one ex claiming; . “ We’ve treed him at last! There he is— seize him 1” and ae he spoke be pointed at the crouching figure. The others advanced to obey the order; but Bradley suddenly arose, seized the sledge-ham mer, and brandished it about his bead as if it had been a sword exclaimed; “ Back I Touch him not; hr, by the grace of God, I’ll brain ye 1” They hesitated, and stepped backward, not wishing to encounter the Sturdy smith, for his countenance plainly told them he meant what be said. “ Do you give shelter to nn abolitionist?” fiercely shouted the leader. “ I give shelter to a weak, defenceless man,” replied the smith. “ He is nn enemy 1” vociferated the leader. “Of the devil!” ejaculated Bradley. • “Ho is a spy I an abolition hound 1" ex claimed the leader with increased vehemence, “ and we must have him. So l tell yon, Brad ley, you better not interfere. You know you are already suspected; and if you insist upon sheltering him it will confirm it.” “ Suspected I Suspected of whetl” exclaim ed the.smith in a firm tone, riveting his gaze upon the speaker. " Why, of adhering to the North, was the reply. ‘t Adhering to the North 1” ejaculated Brad ley, as he cast his defiant glances at the speak er. “ I adhere to the North I” he continued ; “ I ndhere to roy country—my whole country— and with to help me Qnd, ns long as lhave breath 1” be added, as be brought the sledge hammer to the ground with 'great force. •* You had better let os have him, Brad ley, without further trouble. You are only risking your own neck by your interference." “ Not as long as I;have life to defend him/’ was the- answer. Then pointing toward the door, he continued, “ Leave my shop!” and as he spoke he raised the sledge-hammer. They hesitated a moment, but the firm de meanor of the smith awed them into compli ance with the .order. “ You’ll regret this in the morning, Bradley/’ said the leader as be retreated. “Op I" was -the reply of the smith, as he pointed towards ;the door.. Bradley followed them menacingly to the entrance of the shop, and watched them until they disappeared from sight down the road.— When he turned to go back in the-shop he was met. by the fugitive, who grasping his hand, exclaiihed; “0, how shall I ever be able to thank you, Mr. Bradley?" “ This is no-time for thanks, Mr. Peters, un less it is to the Lord. Yoq most fiy the coun try and that at once/’ *- “ But roy wife and children?” “ Mattie and I will attend to them. But you must go to-night.". “To-night?” . “ Yes. In tbs morning, if not sooner, they ■will return with a large force and carry, you off, and probably hang you on the first tree.— You must leave to-night. “But how?” “ Mattie will conduct you to the rendezvous of our friends. There is a party made op who intend to cross the mountain and join the Union forces in Kentucky. . They have pro visions for the journey, and will gladly share with you.” c ' •At this moment a young girl entered the shop and hurriedly said: “ Father, what is the trouble to-night f” Her eye resting on the fugitive, she approached him, tend in a sympathizing tone, continued': «Ah Mr. Hetprs, has your turn come so goon V’ This was Hattie. She was a fine rosy girl, just past her eighteenth birthday, and the sole daughter of Bradley’s bouse and heart. She was'hisall—bis wife had been dead five years. He tamed toward her, and in a mild, hot firm tone, saidz , “ Mattie yoq must conduct Mr. Peters to the rendezvous immediately; then return, and we will call at the parsonage to cheer .his family. Quick t No time is to be lost. The blood* honqds Are upon the track; The; have scented their prey, and will not rest until they have secured him. They may return much sooner than wA expect. So hasten, daughter, and God bless ytfl" . This was not the first time that Mattie bad been called upon to perform such an office. She had saflsiy conducted several Union men, who had been hnnted from their homes and sought shelter with her father, to the place designated,, from whence they made their escape across the mountains into Kentucky. Turning to the fu gitive, she said; “ Come, Mr. Peters, do not stand upon cere mony, bat follow me." She left the shop and proceeded bat a short distance upon the road, and then turned off in a by-path through a strict of woods, closely fol lowed by the fugitive. A brisk walk of half an hour brought them to a small house in a seclu ded spot. Here Mattie was received with a warm welcome by several men, some of whom were engaged in running bullets, while otlfora were engaged in cleaning their rifles and fowl ing pieces. The lady of the boose, a bale woman of forty, was busy stuffing the wallets of the men with biscuits. She greeted Mattie very kindly. The fugitive who was known to two or three of the party was received with a bluff, frank spirit of kindness by all, saying that they would make him chaplain of the Tennessee Union regiment when they got into Kentucky. i When Mattie was about to return home, two of the company prepared to accompany her, but she protested, warning them of the danger, as the enemy were doubtless abroad in search of the minister. But, notwithstanding, they insisted, and accompanied her until she reached the road a short distance from her father's shop. Mattie hurried on, but was somewhat surprised upon reaching the shop to find it va-, cant.- She hastened into the bouse, but her father was not there. As she returned to go into the shop she thought she beard the noise of horses’ hoofs clattering down the road. She listened, but the sound soon died away. Going into the shop she blew the fire into a Maze ; then beheld that things were in great confusion and that spots of blood were upon the ground. She was now convinced that her father had been carried off, but not without a desperate straggle on bis part.. As Mattie stood gazing at the pools of blood, a wagon containing two persons drove up, one of whom, an athletic man of five-and-twenty, gut out and entered the shop. “Good evening, Mattie. Where is yonr fa ther ?” he said. Then observing the strange demeanor of the girl, he continued: “ Why, Mattie, what ails you f What has happened ?” The young girl’s heart was too full for her tongue te give utterance, and throwing herself upon the shoulder of to young man, sho sob bingly exclaimed: “ they have carried him off I Iton’t yon see the blood ?” “ Have they dared to lay hands upon your father ? The infernal wretches I” Mattie recovered herself, sufficiently to nar rate the evpnts of the evening. When she bad finished he exclaimed: “ Oh that I should have lived to see tlje day that old Tennessee wias to be thus disgraced I Here Joe 1” At this the other person in the wagon alight ed and entered the shop. He was a stalwart negro. “Joe," continued the young man, “would you like your freedom ?” “Well, Massa John, I wouldn’t like ranch to leabe you, but dan Ise like to be a free man.” “Joe, the white race have .maintained their liberty by their valor.- Are you willing to fight for yours? Ay! fight to the death?” ”I’se fight for yours any time, Massa John.” . “ I,believe you, John. But I have desperate work on band to-night, and I do not want yon to engage in it without a prospect of reward. If I succeed I will make you a free man. It is a matter of life and death—will you go ?” “ I will, Massa." ~ “ Then kneel down and Swear before the ev erlasting God, that, if you falter or shrink from the danger, you may hereafter be consigned to everlasting fire!” “ I swear, Massa,” said the negro, kneeling; “ an’ I hope that Gor Almighty may strike roe dead if I don’t 1 go wid you through fire, and water and eberytbing I" “I am satisfied, Joe,” said his roaster; then turning to the young girl, whohad been a mute spectator of this singular scene, he continued : “ Now, Mattie; you get in, the wagon, and I’ll drive down to the parsonage, and you remain there with Mrs. Peters and the children until I bring you some intelligence of your father/.’ While .the sturdy old. blacksmith was await ing the return, of bis daughter, the party that he had repulsed returned with increased num bers and demanded the minister. A fierce quarrel .ensued, which resulted in their seizing the smith and carrying him off; They con veyed him to a tavern half a mile distant from the shop, and there he was arraigned before what was called a' village committee. The committee met in a long room oh the ground floor, dimly lighted by a lamp which stood up on a small table in front of the chairman. In about half an hour after Bradley’s arrival be was placed before the chairman for examina tion. The old man’s arms were pinioned, hut nevertheless he cast a-defiant look around him; “ Bradley, Ibis is a grave charge against you. What,hove you to say ?" said the chair man. " What authority have, you to ask ?” de manded the smith, fiercely eyeing his interro gator. , “The authority of the people of jMfinessee,” was the reply. “ I deny itJ” “ Your denials amount to nothing. You are accused of harboring an abolitionist, and the penalty of that not you know is death. What have you tossy to the charge?” “I say that it is a lie, aod.be who utters such a charge against me is a scoundrel.” “ Simpson,” said the chairman to the Jeader of the band that bad captured' Bradley, and who now appeared with a large bandage about bis head, to bind up a wound that was the re sult of a blow from the fist of Bradley.— “ Simpson," continued the chairman, “ wliat have you to say ?’’ The leader then stated that he hold tracked the preacher to the blacksmith’s shop; and that Bradley had resisted his arrest, and that upon their return he could not be founds and that the prisoner refused to give any information concerning bim. ; “ r Do you bear that, Mr. Bradley f’f said the chairman. j “ That is none of your business." :| “ Mr. Bradley, this tribunal is not to Jbe in sulted with impunity. I again demand to know where Mr. Peters is. Will you tell?" “ No." ! “ Mr. Bradley, it is wel’ known that you are not only a member but an exhorterin Mr. Pe ters’s church, and therefore some little excuse is made for your zeal in defending him. He is from the North, and has long been j Suspected, and is now accused of being an qbolitionist, and a dangerous man. You do not !deny shel tering him, and refusing to give him up. If you persist in, this you must take the conse quences. I ask you for the last iime if you will inform us as to his whereabouts?" “ Again I answer no 1" c) “ Mr. Bradley, there is also another serious change against you, and your conduct in this instance confirms it. You are accused of giv ing comfort to the enemies of your country. What have you tn say to that ?’’ , “ I say that is false, and be who makes it is. a-villain.” “ I accuse bim of being a traitor, aiding the cause of the Union,” said Simpson.) “ If my adherence to the Union i merits for me the name of traitor, then I am proud of it. I have been,for the Union—and will be for the Union ns long ns life lasts 1" At these words the chairman clutched a pistol that lay upon the table before him, and the bright blade of Simpson's bowie-knife glit tered near Bradley’s breast; but i before ha made the fatal plunge a swift-winged messen ger of death laid him dead at the feet of bis intended victim ; while at the same' instant an other plunged into the heart of the; chairman, and be fell forward over the table, Extinguish ing the light and leaving all in darkness. Con fusion reigned. The inmates of the, room were pnni|-stricken. In the midst of the consterna tion ti firm hand rested upon Bradley’s shoul der ; his bonds were severed, and was hurried out of the open window. He was again a free man, hut was hastened forward into the wpods at the hack of the tavern, and through them to a road a quarter of a mile distant, then into a wagon and driven rapidly off.. In half an hour the smith made one of the party at the rendezvous that was to start at midnight across the irlountains. “ John,” jsaid the smith, as he grasped the hand of his, rescuer, while bis eyes glistened and a tear ran down his furrowed cheek, “ I should like, fo see Mattie before I go." “ Yon .shall,” was the reply. In another hour the blacksmith clasped his daughter tojhis bosom. It was an affecting.scene—there, in that lone house in the surrounded by men who had been driven from their homes for their attachment |tb the principles for which their patriotic fathers fought and bled—the sturdy old smith, a type of the heroes of other days, pressing his daughter to his breast, while a tear stole down his cheek. He felt that per haps it was to be his last embrace; for bis heart had rhsolved to sacrifice his all upon the altar of his country, and. he could no longer watch Over safety of his child. Was she to be left to the mercy of the paricidal wretches who were attempting to destroy the country that hail giten them birth, nursed their infancy, and opened a for them to display the abilities with which nature had endowed them ? “ Mr. Bradley,” said, the rescuer, after a short paus4, “ as you leave the State it will be necessary, in these troublesome times, for Mat tie to have a protector, and I cave thought that our marriage had better take place to night." I , “ Well, John,” said he, as he : relinquished bis embrace and gazed with a fond look at her who was so dear to him, “ I shall cot object if Mattie is willing.” “ Oh, we arranged that, as we came along,” replied thq young man. Mattie blushed, but said nothing. In a shut time the hunted-down minister was called'upon to perform a marriage service in that lone house. It woe an impressive scene. Yet no diamonds glittered upon the neck of the bride; no!pearls looped up her tresses; but a pure love flowed within her as she gave utter ance to a jvow which was registered in heaven. Bradley, soon after the ceremony, bade his daughter and bet husband'an affectionate fare well, and-aet out with his friendajto join others who had been driven from their homes, and were now! rallying! under the old flag to fight for the Obion, and, as they said, “ Redeem old Tennessee - * Old Times. —Some writer says that at the beginning of the fifteenth century, mankind bad looked to neither heaven nor earth, neither into the eea nor land, as has been done since.

As soon as the parties were prjoperly placed, the service commenced, and the noble harmo nies which', bad filled the chnrbh, died away. The ceremony was simple, differing in nothing from the usual form used in all Roman Cath olic countries, except that instead of a plain gold circlet being placed bn the'bride’s finger, as a symbol of eternity, and of the intention of both to keep for ever the solemn coys' nant into which they have entered before God, and of which it ie the pledge, there was an ex change of rings. ' The priest pttased in the service when he came to the woriis, “With this ring," &o, and then, one of the bridesmaids came timidly and gracefully forward, and-laid down two rings on the open book whichfie held in his hand.— > He took them op, one after another, in his • right hand, offering np solemn prayers, and pronouncing, a blessing over them. He then gave the small one, which badengravedon it the bridegroom’s name, Mauritius MocbnackF, and the date of the year, to the bridegrooh; and the large one, haring the name Jahasie Zalvzianski, to the bride. For one moment; while be pronounced a few words in a solemn tone, they retained them, and them lifting her eyes to the bridegroom’s as if to gfc' ther strength and firmness for jthe last solemn act, they exchanged them—the email one, hair ing his name, shone on her finger—while the larger ring encircled his. Immediately on en tering the chateau, the bride’s jveil and wreath were removed by a married lady, and replaced by a cap ornamented with orange-blossoms, entirely concealing her beautiful tresses. Mean time, tbe bridesmaids bad been) flitting around her, laughing, whispering, blushing.* Presen tly she took tbe wreath, which one of then! bad disengaged, from her veil and dinging it among them, it fell on the shoulders of a beau tiful girl, who was at once' pronounced the “bride of the next wedding.” Just then sev eral beautiful children of about ten years, hav ing on their arms email silver filagree' baskets, filled with, tiny boquets of cboice exotics, en tered tbe saloon, and going round through the guests, presented one to eacb,j with a gold pin to fasten it, having a bead in the form of a hexagon, each of the sides of which was del icately engraven. On one sidet were, tbe initials of tbe .bride; on the second, those of tbe bride-’ groom; on tbe third, the day (if the week; the fourth, the day of the' month; the fifth, the date of the year; and the sixth the name of tho district in which tbe [ceremony had been performed, of which they aref ever after to be preserved as mementoes. j The North and the | South. Brooktild, May 29,1862. Me. Kditob. —■’While looking over Kenyon’s grammar the other day, I came across this sen tence ; “The other side baa the best of tbe ar gument.” The thought suggested itself to my mind, that this must be precisely what the reb els are thinking concerning ■ the North, since, their numerous defeats, and the question nat urally arose, why have we the best of the ar gument? There ate several answers to tbe question. First, the north is the strongest in men and money. While thejrebels are obliged, to manage every way, whether right or wrong, to furnish themselves with men and funds for carrying on tbe rebellion and sustaining tbe miserable government wbich|they_have set up, and while they are actually suffering for the necessaries of life, the people, of the' north are living in the midst of plenty! They open their purses voluntarily and pour, forth the “yellow shiners” into thetreasury of the nation, while at the same time they place themselves under, tbe good old Stars and Stripes, thereby convin cing tbe rebels more forcibly than words could do, that the Union most and shajl be preserved, that treason shall gir down, that ere long they shall.do homage to that flag which they polluted with their treacherous bands, and that the “Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall ware, Oe'r the land of the free and the home of the brave.’* It is such -vigorous action as this -which strikes terror to the hearts! of evil doers, and convinces them that they ate on. the wrong side of the argument. | Second, The north is fighting to sustain the right—the south to sustain the wrong. The., rebels know that they are fighting against the best form of government j that the sun' ever shone upon, while they already feel that their own is a most tyrannical one; consequently that little monitor'within,-called conscience, is' very troublesome. But the people of the north have the approving smilejjof heaven on their labors, because they are'.engaged in a holy' cause. They are engaged in preserving this government which was purchased by our fore fathers for their posterity to enjoy, where all men, from the' haughty Caiacasion, to the lowly, African, might enjoy equial privileges. And ' 1 while the soldiers of the, army are enduring the hardships of camp life, and risking their lives for the sake of, their country, they may have the assurance that'if Washington, Adams, and Jefferson, could look down from the lofty seats which-they undoubtedly occupy, that they would receive an approving look from them.—. Here, then, the people of {the north have a sec ond advantage. In addition to brave hearts, willing hands, and well filled parses, they hsvo cTi&r and approving consciences. Third; The north is fighting for liberty—tha rebels for slavery. But it cannot add much' to their confidence in their! strength, when they consider that for every Clave that they keep, they harbor an enemy in their midst. Those four million slaves, will be four million voices*, speaking in tones of thunder to the rebels in language too plain to he' misunderstood, that it is impossible for them A to succeed as long os they are guilty of holding their fellow men in bondage. But the people of the north have the satisfaction of knowing that they are en gaged in a struggle that 1 may be the means of ridding this country of the greatest evil that - ever cursed a nation, for which they will , re ceive the hlesaihg, not only of millions of Afri cans, hut of the whole! civilised world. But more than this. While jthe rebels are lormon-. ted (as I hope that they are) by the ghosts of John Brown whom they hung at Harper’s Fet*' ry, and hosts of others who were slain by thorn' A Polish padding.
