A Day's March.
AM 1NCIDKNT OF THE WAR.
Right above 'out heads blazed the over

v powering bum. we loonea up pueousiy ui
: the glaring sky, hoping in vain to see some
, friendly cloud interpose in our behalf, and
cast a generous shadow over our panting
i column-. 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. Anon aa unfor

notonous march. But no signs of commis
eration disturbed the dogged expretsion of
the grim faces that paused. 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. I felt myself staggering
"Here, Tom, I have some water, drink
"Water! I must be delirious, or are you
mocking me ? No Joa never does that.
But he did not drink vthen be cannot have
it. 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. I took the picture from the lock-j

from an exchange. It is Old but good, .and
will bear reading again :
Do any of you know olJ Bill Lowery ?
He moved from Springfield to some point
in Minnesota. Bill is tough, smart as a
whip, keen as a briar, but then, like all of
us fellers, Bill loves to see the bottom of the
tumblers at all times! Well once there
was a Methodist revival in town. Bill was
there, and. a Imle too full ' Of his kind of
spirit to hold much of ihe other kind. But
he sat still. At last ihe sermon was ended,
and after the minister came down from his
proclamation stand and said :
'-'Now, I want all who lovs the Lord
Jesus, to come forward and be prayed
for !" -
No one moved. Irt a minute be repeat
ed : -
"Brethren and sinners. ' I want all who
love the Lord Jems, or who wish to leve
bim, to come forward ou the beoeh !"
No one moved. Then be looked mad
and spoke very quick; .
'If there is a man in this house who is
a friend of the Lord, I want him to come
forward; if He .has do friends we will
quit !" - -
. Just then Bill arose, bitched up his trous
ers, and in a peculiar, half-sober voice,
saog out :
"Hold on thare ! I'm I'm I'm a friend of

member of Congress, possessing limited
knowledge, from one of the western States,
rose in his place and made a speech to the
House, in which be maintained that any
ponton of the people ol these States, feel

Union, and establish a new Government
for themselves. Who was that member?
Abraham Lincoln of Illinois. Here is an
extract fronT the speech to which we
refer : " -
"Any people anywheie, being inclined,
and having the power, have the right to
rise np and shake off the existing govern
ment, and form a new one that saits them
better. This is a most valuable a most
sacred right a right which we hope and
believe, is to liberate the world. Nor is
this right coufined to caes in which the
whole people of our existing Government
may chouk to exercise it. Any portion of
such people tbat can may "revolutionize and
make their own ol so much of the territory
as they inhabit. 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. Such minority
was precisely the case of the Tories in bur
own revolutions not to go , by old lines or
old laws ; but to break up both and make
new ones.
Speech of Abraham Lincoln,
in the llomel Jan. 12, 1848.
The public plunderers, shoddyites, office
holders, and those who for thirty years have
been noted disonionists, are banded logeth
er in the support of the sarrie man for ' the
Presidency. Who is their candidate ? Lia
coin, the mar. that Wendell Phillips pro
nounces "a mud lurtle."
A few weeks ago the Democratic mem
bers of Congress submitted a Bill requiring
the Government to adhere to its contract
with our soldiers and pay them their wages
'in sold or its equivalent. Who opposed
defeated that Bill ? The Abolition
memDer8 of Congress, led by the notorious
s.even3 of ,bii sCate. They considered
greea.backs, at 50 per cent, discount, good
enouzh for soldier heroes, lnegoid is an
to be gobbled up by the office-holders
and pets of the administration.
Who said that he could not, without vio
lating his oath, issue an Emancipation
Proclamation 1 President Lincoln.
Who did, subsequently, usue an emanci
pation Proclamation, and thus violate. bis
oath ? President Lincoln.
Who were the men who predicted that
the war would end inside of ninety days
from the date of its commencement ! The
President and all the member of his Cabi
net. Who are the men who hbw say they
"rather like this war," and care very "little
whether it ends inside of fifty years ?"
Senators Jim Lane and Sumner.
But, enough. We might go on a week
asking and answering questions. The
above willglve the people an idea of who
Abraham Lincoln is, and the character of
his "loyal" tools and supporters. American

A traveler in the State of Illinois some
years ago come toa lone log hut on (he prai
rie near Cairo, and then halted. He ent
into the house. 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. . It is "the midnight
lamp" which floods the world with sickly
sentimentalities, with false morals, with
rickety'theology, and with all those harum
scarum dreams of human elevation which

The public should be on the lookout for the
new bogus bill. The above paper says :
"We have been shown a counterfeit
twenty dollar United States Treasury note,
which is well calculated -to deceive. It is
printed on remarkably good paper, (hough
not quite so thick as the genuine. The one
we examined was lettered C New Series
7, and numbered 24,152. The vignette was
well engraved. The ends of the note across
which are the words "Twenty Dollars" in
capitals, were smeared to look as if the
note had been much handled. Tbe back of
the note ws scarcely as good a! tbe lace,
the green being rather pale. The noto was
well calculated to deceive, and persons
should be carelul aud avoid them."

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

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 ?

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.

NUMBER 37.
dostIsweab.
A turbulent Scotchman was arrested the
other day, for seme misdemeanor, and es
cor'.ed by the police to tbe station-house.
Though a larjje powerful man, be could
not resist ibe'forcis of the law, but his no
bridled passion, found, expression in the
most furious outburst of abusive and pro
lane language. It was fearful . to hear the
terrible .aths and corses that poured in one
continuous stream from bis mouth, as he
was carried through the streets." Even the .
rough boys, who were drawn by the uproar,
and can endure almost anything of prolan
ity without "shrinking, seemed to stand ap
palled, or were forced to retire. He never
stopped a moment until long alter he had
been properly secure in his place of con
finement, and than all at once be ceased.
The astonished bystanders turned to see
what could have procured so instantaneous
a change. 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.
