But nothing save the clear blue of I interminable space, unrelieved by a single : cloud, ar.d emblazoned by the scorging sun, met our despairicg eyes. . Still we marched on, our blouses saturated wiibrerspiration, and our temples throbbing painfully amid the tramp of a thousand brogans. Each one of the innumerable straps which com plete the harness of a soldier seemed to sink gradually into our burning flesh. We did not drop from the ranks and stretch our wearied limbs on the yellow grass, or we wouid famish for water, as none had been seen, for many a weary mile, so still we moved on Beside me walked a pale, slen der young fellow, whom the boys bad chris tened i"gtJnVi Joe," doubtless on account of bis mild disposition. Joe and I had been great friends since he had been transferred along with some eight or ten others, some six months previous. He was a meek little tellow,' and as a matter of course tyranized over by the Vest. .1 often met him about camp, and eventually took an interest in him,' and protecting him asj3y in my pow er from imposition ; and, indeed, one day rescued bird from the bauds of a drunken rascal, who, with an iron ramrod was atout to impose summary puntshmaot upon poor Joe, because, forsooth the little fellow bad declined visiting the quartermaster's tent lor the purpb-e of realizing a canteen ol whiskey. At'er this I made an attempt to have him trar sferred into our mess, and to his evident joy, succeeded. Here, under ' my "protection Joe seemed perlecily hap py ; for thoogh in action he was as brave as the bravest, be appeared to have a moral terror of the rough ways of the men. His modesty formed a capital subject for the witty, and I would often see him turn scar let at some rough joke. He wa very food of in however, and by many a little inci dent of self-sacrifice, I knew the patient af fection of "gentle Joe." But to return to our march. As t said I was dragging my weary limbs along beside my friend, who, in spite of my own suffer ing, inspired me with pity. His eyeballs were turned painfully towards the lids ; his Hps dry, cracked and bleeding, were drawn tightly across hi tseth ; his knapsack hung flapping from his. narrow shoulders; and but one drop of sweat rolled down bis cheek a drop of mortal agony, pressed from" an unwilling brain. Yet he bore op, and bis buraing leet si ill echoed to the Thousands around. On we tramped ; our clothes pow deled, Oof beard gray, and our longs sting ing with the hateful dost.

All feeling, all senses were lost in one of intense thirst No familiar shout greeted the colonel as he rode along the line, trying with ghastly smiles to greet his men, or with husky voice and swollen tongue to venturea melancholy joke. Even the dumb stones received no curse as they struck the soldier's loot ak be went stumbling on. "Let me lake your musket, Joe." said I. fearing he would sink down. But he shook his head .'and staggered on - 'Will you give Trie that gun ?"'l resum ed after he had taken a few more wild steps, reeling like a drunken man. 'I can carry it, Tom," be answered look ing gra'.efully. i saw it was useless to ask him, as'the brave little fellow would never have relinquished it ; and it was evident that both he and his mucket must soon fall unless he was relieved. Therefore, I an slung my knapsack, and leaving it in my tracks, look the p'iece from his shoulder. We had hardly gained another mile before my ueiu ur"uu iu mini, aim iuo giiiictiu bayouets ahead seemed a flickering sheet -J. .... .... of flame.

Joe, Joe, where is the water "Here, Tom, in ray canteen"' "Then for God's sake drink "ycuffce'f, for I won't," I answered, determined he sho'd not sacrifice the last drop of life at the al ter of friendship. I dropped both muskets in hope they would relieve me ; it was in vairv, for, after a few random strides, I be came insensible. I was awakened by a grateful drop of water trickling down my throat. "More," I gasped, as I opened my eyes, and dis tinguished the form of a roan kneeling be side me. The canteen was placed to my lips, and as I drained it to the last drop, I recognized my "gentle Joe." I fell - some what revived, and regaiued my feet. "Come Joe." - But he made no attempt to move, sitting motionieas,enibraciog his kneeB,and watch ing me inteutly. . "Aie jou going, Tom ?" he said vacant- :y. . "Of course, we will both 'did f we stay here. Come on." "Good-bye, Tom," he said ; while an al most angelic expression of love lit up his face. I stood confounded ; was he crazy 1 Then, for the first time, the truth flashed upon my bewildered senses. I had taken his last drop of water, and he was famish ing. I tnrned to him in ac agony of re morse. He was lying upon his back, with his eyes closed. I kuell beside bim, and placed my hand on his temple ; be slowly opened bis great brown eyes. "Jo?, friend, how jjo you feel 1 He answered faintly r "Kiss me, Tom.'' "Poor boy ; his mind wanders, thought I. "Come, now, let me carry you," I said ; but he made no signs of consciousness I seized bis hand, but he was cramped and stiff. I laid my hand upon bis temple but ' u throbbed no more, I raised the clenched band to my lips and kissed it, lor he was d'aad. 1 look a small gold chain from his neck, as. a momento, and taking off my blouse, covered the face of "gentle Joe," and reeled onward. ' ' ' In my convalescence I bethought me of the chain. Taking it from my pocket, I examined it as well as my tears would let me. Attached to the chain was a small locket, enclosing an ambrotype of a girl Joe's sweet heart perhaps, poor girl ! or more likely his sister, as she greatly resem- j bles him.

More than this, a majority of any portion of such people may revolu tionize, putting down a ntinortry, intermingl ed with or near about them , who may op pose their movements.

It was a wretched affair an empty packing box for a table, while two or three chairs and disagreeable stools graced the reception room, the dark walls of which were further ornamented with a displa'y of tinware, nnd a broken shelf arti cle or twp. The woman was crying in a .corner, and the man, with tears in his eyes and pipe in his mouth, on a stool, with his sorrowful looking head supported by the palms of bis hands. Not a word greeted the interloper. . "Well," he. said, "you seem to be in awful trouble here ; whit's up ?". "Ah I we are almost crazed, neighbor," said'lhe woman, "and we ain't got patience to see folks now." "That's all right," said the stranger, not much taken back by the impolite rebuff; "but can I be of any service to you in all this (ronble "Well, we've lost oar gal ; Sal's gone off and left us' said the old mail in tones of deep despair. ,. "Ah ! do you know what induced her to leave you ?" remarked the new arrival. "Well, we can't say neighbor, as how she's so" lar lost as to be induced, but then she's gone and disgraced us," remarked the afflicted father. "Yes, stranger, and not as I should say it '-as her mother but there w?rn't a poor tier gal in the West than our Sal. She's gone and brought ruin -ou her owa head, now," followed the sickened mother. "Who has she gone off with?" inquired the visitor. "Well, there'e the trouble. The gal could have done well, and might have married Martin Kehoe, a capital shoemaker, who, although he has but one eye, plays the flute in a lively manner and earns a very good living. Then look what a life she has deserted, She was here surrounded by all the luxuries in the country," said the father. "Yes, who knows "what poor Sal will have to eat, drink, and wear now ? groaned the old woman. "And who is the fellow that has taken her into such misery ?" - "Why she's gone off and married a critter called an undertaker, as lives in the village, and the Lord only knows how he is to earn a living." Tbe Time for Sleep and Study. By all means, sleep enough, and give all in your care sleep enough, by raquiring them to go to bed at some regular hour, and to get up at the moment of spontaneous waking in the rooming.. Never waken np any one, especially children, from a sound sleep, uufass their is urgent neces sity ; it is cruel to do 60. To prove this, we have only to notice how lretfut and un happy a child is when waked up before the nap is out. ' If the brain is not nourish ed during sleep, it must have mOst vigor in the mornicg ; hence the morning is the beet time for study lor thei the brain has most strength, most activity, and most work more clearly. .

Jatiml Expenses Eight Years Ago. ,. f One of oar snbscribeis sends us the fol lowicg, clipped from the New Yrk Ledg er of July 19, 1856, which is curious when contrasted With !the expense accou'nl'bf the present day. Mr. Bonner expressed alarm when he footed op the expenses of ih? Government under Mr. Pierce, and empha sized his alarm with platoons of exclama tion points, as is seen in the extract referred to' : "Liberal Expenditures The expenses of the Government of the United States, under tbe present Administration are as follows : 75,686,400 a year"! "6,307,200 a month ! ! 1,452,920 a week ! ! ! 207,560 a day ! ! I! 8,600 an hour !!! !. ! 144 a minute 1 ! ! ! I! 2,40 a second !!!!!!! "Two dollars and forty cents" at every tick of the clock I That will do for Young America ! But Where does the money go ? For what is it applied ? Under Mr. Polk's Administration, during the Mexican war, when he had a hondred thousand men un der arms, and large armies and numerous garrisons in Mexico, the annual expenses of ihe'Goverftm'eht were a little over forty four millions a year." Look cn this picture. The expenses of ihe Government of the United States under Mr. Lincoln's Administration are as fol lows : 1,000.000 000 a year ! 83,333,333 a moiith I ! 20,833,333 a week ! ! ! 3,000,000 a day ! ! ! ! 125.000 an hour ! ! ! ! ! 2,083 a minute ! ! ! ! ! ! 35 a second !!!!!!! Thirty-five dollars at every tick of the clock ! There is no use of asking where the money goes to, or for what it is applied. Some ot it is used for making warlike, im plements, ves6elsand missiles millions of it to enrich contractors and office-holders all of it worse than wafted. Mr. Bonner offered to take the Government and carry it on for fifty millions of dollars a year, and also to lurnish each man, woman and child with a copy of his paper as a free gift- Would he like to renew his offer now ? Bridgeport Farmer. Amending tk Constitution The New York Herald, having got a taste of sour grapes, thus wbininjly relieves itself: "We are not surprised to find the so-called peace Democrats and war Democrats in Congress voting against the amendment to the constitution abolishing slavery. ' It is now generally admitted that this is the only legal way to get rid of the evil of slaveryf and we do not envy those who are respon sible for the defeat of ibis amendment Perhaps the action of Congress settles the fate of the matter for this 'seceion ; but we appeal from these legislators to the people, and from this Congress to the next. Woe be to those who strive to keep open so fruit ful a source of differences and dissensions. They shall have their rewards." The diffi culty in the way is, that although1 there are enough Abolitionists in Congress to effect the btiect if it rested with that department, but il requires a two-third veve of all the States, and it is found that that is impossi ble to get. Thus il appears quite evident that wliaiever the false representatives of the people may desire in the matter of tear in"' our Constitution and Government to pieces, ihe people themselves are not quite ready for the consummation, entailing, as it will, negro equality and beastly miscegena tion. Really the grapes most be very 60ur to the dark-souled radicals of Congress and the country. A Fait; The contractors and office holders have not a word to say in their Baltimore platform ' against ihe suppression of free speech and , free presses. They, therefore, endorse the outrages upon the clearest rights of a free people, and are willing to bind the man or i set ol men who sustain a free press, and ' uphold the rights of a free discussion. Will any man who has the least respect for ; his own manhood and the liberties of his 1 posterity aid in keeping in power those who seek the subversion of our dearest j prerogatives ? Lafayette During the Revolution La layette being in Baltimore was invited to a ball. He went, but instead of joining the amusement, aa might be expected ef a young Frenchmen, addressed the ladies thus : "Ladies you are very handsome; you dance very prettily ; your ball is very fine but my soldiers have no shirts !" Tbe ball ceased : the ladies went home, and the next day shirts were prepared for the gallant defenders of their country. Loafers- Different nations have differ ent kind of loafars, Tbe Italian loafer spends his time in sleeping the Turkish in dreaming the Spanish in praying the French in laughing the English in swear ing the Russian iu gambling ihe Hun garian in smoking the German in drink ing, and the American in talking politics.

In the door-way stood a deli cate, fair-haired little-girl of about eight years, holding in her band the well-filled dinner pail which she had been commis sioned io carry to bis place of work, and which on hearing what had. befallen her father she bad considerably brought to the station house. Lifting up her tiny face to the hard features of the prisoner, without a word of wonder or reproach at finding her parent in so unpleasant a condition, she said in 'ths sweetest accents : ! "I have brought yoa your dinner, father. Shall I sing while you are eating ?" ' "No, child, go home, this is no place for you," said the father, iu a tone so subdued that one could scarcely beliove it proceeded from the same lips out of which but a moment before bad poured such fierce, bit ter imprecations. "Go home, Maryland when 1 come back, yoa shall sing." "What made you hold up your swearing so suddenly ?'' asked some one afterwards of tbe prisoner. "I can't swear before that child," was the reply. "She goes to one of them ra 'le sion schools and learns the hymas and sings 'em at home just like an angel. I might just as well swear before aa aagel as before her." . Such is ihe power, the restraining pow er of a mere babe. That child, could by her presence, quell the violent passion and unholy language ot the wicked, self-willed man, when nothing else could produce the slightest effect. . Blessed little ones, who all unconscious can yield such gentle, softening, harmonizing influences. No wonder theadear Saviour drew them to bim and said, "Of such is the kingdom ol IJeaven." Fremont and War to tbe Knife. The St- Louis NeueZeit hoists the Radieal Democratic ticket of Fremont and Cochrane at the head of its columns, and thus bitter ly proclaims war to the knife against the Lincoln party : The Baltimore Convention has done what we expected it would do. Il has sought to swindle Abraham Lincoln into the Presi dency again. The gauntlet thus thrown down, we take op. As'aihst this swindle we eolemnly protest Defiantly we her with cut loose from a party which seeks systematically to ruin the country, and, in accordance with the declaration of General Fremont, we now raise ihe ticket of the Radical Democracy 6t ihe head of pur col umns 1 .io, Fremont 1 Ho, Lincoln ! Such will be the battle cries in this contest, and with joy 'and heartfelt gladness we enter this just, good and necessary battle against the organization of blood-suckers, created by Mr. Lincoln lor the perpetuation of Lis own unnatural power and the overthrow of the Republic. We do not conceal from eur selves that we shall have a hard contest, bat so much the more glorious will ilbe also. Whether we conquer or are defeated, is not lor us the first quesiion. We know that it is a holy cause and an unavoidcble duty lor which we enter .he contest; and to the bold belongs the world. Who risks not, gains uol, and is no man at all. In one particular tbe impending contest will be different from any preceding one ; wo can not this time esteem our opponents either politically or personally. In the enemy' camp there is nothing but lie and swindle ; hence we bhall not fight with mildness, as we have often been accustomed to do. We shall eirike whenever ve think we can hit tbe enemy. The ships are burned behind us, and we never give or take quarter. And because we bate where once we loved after prayers, warnings and entreties have been ia vain we now Bay : "Lay on Macduff And damned be he who first cries : Hold; enough !" The Fremont Guard may die, but it will never surrender. A Good Witness "Did the defendant knock the plaintiff down with a malice prepense ?" . . "No sir ; he knocked him down, with a flat iron."
