Sentinel 1 pacing -with weary feet, Up and down your weary beat ; Out of sight of the sleeping camp, Never stopping your watchful tramp ; When the night is dark, and the wind i3 cold, And you grasp your gun with tighter hold ; When clouds hang thick in the scowling sky, And their shadows on yonr path-way lie ; What arc your thoughts, and what your fears? Do your wiae eyes ever fill with tears As you think of loved ones Jar away, Who yearn for you sadly every day? Docs your soldicr-hcart beat with pain, As you long to be at home again? When your stealthy step breaks on your car, Do you ever start aback with fear? Do 3 011 ever breathe an inward prayer. When you cry aloud : 'Halt ! who goes there?' When you aim and fire at the prowling spy, Do you ever hope he will not die? When the bullet strikes with a heavy thud. Do you ever quail at the thought of blood? Do you ever feel as you draw a breath, That the next may be the gasp of death? When your heart grows faint, and your foot steps lag, Do you cheer up, and blcs3 the dear old Flag? O sentinel ! pacing with weary feet, Up and down your lonely beat; When the night is dark, and bitter cold, And a wintry blast sweeps over the wold; There is always one whom you never knew, Who is tearfully praying for you. mm " How JaeSi Pliilllps Recovered I lie Mule from flic Sccesls. BY CATTAIX J EKE WILLIAMS- If the stories of incidents and adven tures current in any of the different camps in the neighborhood of Scceshdom could be collected in book form, they would make a very rcadeablc work. I may send you a string of such as arc afloat in our region, at some future time ; at present, I will relate cne which came to my knowledge a few days ago. Squire ailcy had the biggest, and best, and most docile mule in Mailin's Bottom, and Marlin's Bottom, is a'bout the biggest and best neighborhood on Greenbrier river. Squire llailey was in clined to be a good Union man, and did not entirely conceal Ins sentiments, not withstanding the presence of Floyd's ar my in the vicinity. About the time of Floyd's "tumultuous flight" from that region, he was very much in need of transportation, and according to estab lished usages among scccsh, he proceeded to levy on the teams of the neighboring farmers.. Of course, a Union man, like Squire Bailey, was not to escape; but Squire Bailey taking time by the fore lock, very quietly, one night, removed to a safe locality all his live stock, except his favorite mule, which he kept for haul ing wood and going to mill. This mule being apparently the only support of a large and increasing family, Squire Bai ley fondly believed the Seccsh would not be heartless enough to rob him ot it. But Squire Bailey did not understand Scccsh. One flue morning along oiunc Quartermaster Blific, accompanied by half a dozen armed men from Floyd's iir my. Squire Bailey was standing at his gate when Quartermaster Blilie approach ed, and commenced a conversation with him. "Good-morning Nr. a Mr. " "Jiailcy." suggested the Squiiv. ." Ves, Bailey ; good-morniug, Mr. Bai ley." "Mornin'," said the Squire. "I understand, Mr. Bailey, that you have a number of horses and mules which you wish to dispose of to our glorious Confederacy." "Mistake, sir," said Bailey, "I have none to sell anybody." "But, Mr. Bailey, some gentlemen in formed me yesterday that you had quite a number of horses and mules." "If you'll believe your eyes, instead of "some gentlemen," Mr. Quartermaster, you can sec for yourself that. I have noth in' but that mule, in the log peii there, and that I can't possibly keep Louse with out." "Ah ! I sec the mule," said Blific, lookinjr through the cracks. "You'd be a.-kLng fifty dollars for that mule, I &up ptse. Well, it's a big price, but if you won't take less, I'll have to give it. Cor poral, just write a note for hi ty dollars, J payable Jn l'loridu twauip I.'ncs, at twen ty-five dollars an acre, iw.' years, after our. EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL glorious Confederacy achieves undispu ted Independence." "But, Mr. Blme, remonstrated the fcquire, if you take my mule my family will freeze to death, and starve to death, too, before spring. And if I had twenty mules, I could not sell you ono sich as that for less nor three hundred in gold, but this one I can't spare at no price." "We must make all sacrifices, Mr. Bai ley, for our glorious Confederacy. If you only knew the sacrifices I have made, Mr. Bailey. The starving and freezing of your wife and children arc nothing com pared to them ; but our glorious Confed eracy called, and my patriotism responded to the call. Future generations will re member and bless us, Mr. Bailey, and we will receive the everlasting gratitude of our glorious Confederacy. Think of that, Mr. Bailey think of that." Mr. Blific, before his appointment, had been utterly penniless, and ten times as mean as he was poor. These qualifica tions got him the appointment of quar termaster ; out of this ofiice he was steal ing a fortune. "31 r Blifie," said the Squire, with "for the Lord's sake don t take my last earthly support. Don't you see my children are all a cryin and a carry in on, because they all know they'll be in their graves afore spring if you rob me of "Bob !" exclaimed Mr. Blifie, fiercely. "Don't say 'rob' again, or I'll massacre your whole nest of traitors. It's because you'ie an enemy to our glorious Confed eracy that j'ou are unwilling to sell the mule at a fair price. I ought'nt to pay such as you a cent, but I'm a generous man, and you ought to be thankful to me. Corporal, fill up the note as I direc ted." "Hold on a minit," said the Squire. "If that paper is what you are goin' to give me, don't spile it by writin' on it. The blank paper might be of a little use to me, but the writin' on it never could." "You're a cussed traitor to our glorious Confederacy," said Blifie, and he started to take the mule out of the pen. It was hitched with a halter, and had a bioad cireingle around it. He unfastened it, and without deigning another word to the 'enemy of his glorious Confederacy,' he was oli with it to seek another farmer's stables. Squire Bailey looked and as he turned to go in the house, and in the bitterness of his feelings, so far forgot himself as to "d n the glorious Confederacy." Snugly concealed in Squire Bailey's closet was Jack Phillips, the up-to-evcry thing Ohio scout. As the Squire entered the room ho called out. "Come out, Jack ; they've gone, and the infernal scoun drels have stole my mule." "I told you they would," said Jack making his appearance, "and if I had'nt informed you last night, they'd a got all the rest of them that you sent off. "That's so, Jack ; but I'd give a hun dred dollars, to have that lrrule back." Jack looked steadily at the fire for five minutes. Vlllt fliil rnl env Rriiiirrt "I said I'd hundred dollars to get that mule back, but I suppose three hundred wouldu t get mm. "I don't know" said Jack, abstractly, and he looked iu the fire for five minutes more. Suddenly J ack brightened up and said : "Give mo the hundred dollars, Squire, and I'll bring you your mule to-moiiow-night or your money shall be returned." The squire looked amazed at Jack for a moment, but seeing he was iu earnest, put five double eagles in his hand. In a few minutes Jack left the house, dressed in busy pants, a red wauius and a coon skin cap. Next day as Jack was walking liesurly up the road, by a coincidence, probably brought about by himself, he met the quartermaster and his men, returning with the proceeds of the expedition. Jack smiled a happy smile when he saw Blifie behind the rest, leading the Squire's mule. He walked quietly along until he came almost opposite the quartermaster, when he darted suddenly off the side of the road, looking at the mule as if frighten ed. - . "Blasted scoundrel," exclaimed Jack. "Who! who is a blasted scouudrel V asked the quartermaster. "Ain't that the mule old Bailey had?" asked Jack, moving still farther out of his reach. "Yes; but who did you say was a blast ed scoundrel ?" inquired the quartermas ter, very naturally taking all such compli ments to himself. "Why, old Bailey, and the mule, too, for that matter," replied Jack. "What's the matter with the mule?" asked Blifie, whose former occupation had not made him much of a judge of live fctock, "The matter! Why he'll kill you afore you git him home. You didn't pay the old sinner anything for him, did you ? in quired Jack, "Certainly; I paid two hundred and fif ty dolhrs for him. This is what the sac rificing Patriot intended to return him at to his glorious Confederacy." "Lord a mercy !" :But what's the matter with him ?" asked Blifie, looking at the animal half frightened. That ere mule in hi3 time, has kicked down every panel offence ou old Bailey's pkee ! You found him in a pen of big lojjs, didn't you ?" ;' Yes ; why ?" inquired Blific. fAnd them ere logs are fastened by big irai bolts. It's the only thing that would cvir hold him. He has killed all the rest of old Bailey's stock aud the old rascal has kept him on purpose to swindle some fellows with." "I heard," said Blific. "that he used to have more stock." "That's what become of it," said Jack. "Didn't the children cry, and didn't old Bailey whine and carry on about losing his three hundred-dollar mule V "Yes, they did, at a great rate." "I know'd it," said Jack. "The old woman spauked them children, and sent them out at the nick of time to help the old rascal in las swindle. And to cheat our glorious Confederacy in that manner? He ought to be hung I" and Jack winked lis off eye. "But if he's so vicious," said Blifie hopefully, "how did they get the halter and civsinglc on him?" ( "Chloroform, sir, chloroform. I've ac tually seen that mule kick his collar off." , "And did they give him chloroform to get the collar on him !" asked Blifie. "No !" replied Jack. "They put some oats in the bottom of a barrel, and laid the collar across the top ; the mule ran his head trough the collar to get at the oafs. "The devil !" ejaculated the quarter master. "Yes," continncd Jack, "and I seed him kick that collar off. Ever since that, he kicks every barrel to tavts that he gets eyes on." 1 "But be has seemed quiet enough since 1 have been leading him," interposed 1 i fi ; f . ('"Ht v you any liquor about you ?" ask cj Jack. : "Yes, a little in my coat-pocket; why tb you ask ?" j "That's what he follers you for, audit's aj wonder he hain't cat you up body and Ixeeches afore this, to get the liquor. I Inowed that mule to kick the lock off of dd Bailey's cellar-door, and go down thar :.Tid git as drunk as a beast. Fact, sir. Ihat mule can kick your hat off, and you on his back '" "TVat can't be," said the quartermaster incredulously. "Try him," said Jack. "I've just got a cool I.uudred dollars to give you if you ride him a rod." By this time the quartermaster's atten dants had got out of sight, and his avari cious som prompted him to make an ef fort 1 o get Jack's gold, thinking that he couldn't bo more thau throw n off anyhow. The night before this meeting, Jack had quietly stole into the mule's stable and 'rarefully placed a leather dog-collar, driven full of pointed sparrow-bills, under the mule's cirsiuglc, j utting a piece of light leather between the points, of the liails and the mule's back, so that a mod erate pressure would force them through into the animal's hide. Ignorant of this, the greedy quarter master moved the mule to the bauk and sprats g cn him,' just where the- dog-collar was placed. Justus he lit OTthc mule, a boulder lit on his head, and he lit sprawl ing iu the mud. The mule, frantic with the pain of the nails still sticking in his back, sprang off the side of the road, knocked down a dozen panels of fence, and ran furiously across the field, reariug, kicking, lying down aud rolling over, jumping up and plunging about at a ter rible rate.. "I told you so," said Jack, coolly, as the quartermaster scrambled up, rubbing his. bruised head, and brushing at the mud on his besmeared clothes. "He's w'orse thau seven devils, ain't he?" said the discomfittcd quartermaster. "In course he is," replied Jack. "What'llyou give me for the chance of Liui ?" akcd the quartermaster, as he saw ' another string of leuce go down before the maddened mule. "Don't know," said Jack ; "the halter might be worth a dollar or so, if I could get close enough to shoot him beloro he tears it all to shoestrings." "But where's my bor.se ?" qsked the quartermaster, looking around iu astou ishuieut. "Don't know,',' rtplied Jack ; "t'ac uiuie- 17, 1802, gave him u histc with his heels just as he started, and I haven't sexd the animal since." "I wish the devil hid old " "Hallo, quartermaster !" shouted a man in Scccsh uniform who was coming up the road at the top of his speed, "hello ! Mr. Quartermaster, the enemy is coming right down on our camp, and tho general wants you immediately. Our army is running like all possessed, and the gener al needs you to help save the plunder. Hurry back as hard as you can run, or tho enemy will be betwixt you and our fellers." Blifie waited to hear no more, but broke for. his camp like a quarter-horse. When he arrived, and found that the story was all false, teirible was the vengeance he vowed. But before he had time to exe cute his threats, Floyd's army was iu a re mote part of the State.. , It is hardly necessary to add, tH!it the messenger who sent the quartermaster off so precipitately was an associate of Jack's, aud that Jack had turned the quarter master's horse with his head up the road, and by a sharp cut with a whip sent him out of sight before Blifie recovered from his confusion. - Squire Bailey got his mule again, little the worse for Jack's tricks, and he is now as quiet and useful an animal as there is in all the country. The double eagles Jack returned with the mule, taking the quartermaster's horse as compensation for his services. Jack lhillip3 says he would like to have an opportunity of inquiring of the sclf-eacrificing patriot of the glorious Con federacy whether it hurt much when the mule kicked his hat off I m mm Yorktown, a port of entry, capital of York county, Virginia, is situated on the right bank of York river, eleven miles from its mouth, and seventy miles cast by southeast of Kichrnond. It was set tled in 1705, and was once flourishing. The shipping of the district June CO, 13 51, amounted to an aggregate of 5,911 tons enrolled and licensed, and, all cm ployed in the coast trade. Before the commencement of the rebellion, York town was a . fjuiet, unobtrusive little vil lage of between twenty and thirty hou ses, half of them uninhabited, with the ruins of tenements destroyed during Corn wallis's siege isible everywhere. The American breastworks were nearly oblit erated, while the more permanent en trenchments of the British were still com paratively perfect. " The outworks, which the latter were compelled to evacuate on the night of the 29th of September, 17S1, lie ou the western outskirts of the town, and are probably still ia good preserva tion. They were strong positions, and their abandonment must have left' the por tion of the town in which they were situ ated, in a very exposed condition, aud the American officers, when they took pos session of them, expressed much surprise at their being voluntarily given up. The most eastern of the redoubts stormed by the allied forces on the 15th of October, 1781, Ik ing near the river, has nearly been washed away ; that taken by the French portion of the army may still be traced. The capture of these redoubts rendered the destruction or surrender of the British forces inevitable, and on the 17th Cornwallis solicited a truce and agreed to capitulate. The main works, situated ou the eastern edge of the town, were in excellent keeping in 1S54, and must have been formidable when brist ling with cannon and occupied by soldiers. The embankment was too broad to be per forated by cannon-shot, and too steep to be easily scaled by an assailant. The field where tho formalities of the surren der occurred, is a respectable inclosurc of some hundred acres, aud it was about the same in 1781. It joins the town on the south. The very spot where Gen. O'llar ra is said to have delivered up his sword aud apologized for the absence of Gen. Cornwallis, is now marked - by Two poplar trees, which were planted in commemora tion of the eveut. The field itself ii near ly a plain, and ia admirably adapted to the purposes of drill and parade. From the top of the hill on which the tuwn is situated, there i.s an excellent view exten ding into the Chesapeake Bay, and reach ing almost to tho Virginia capes. York town formerly enjoyed quite a valuable West Indian trade. The great natural capabilities of the place as a basis for mil itary operations early attracted the atten tion of Jefferson Davis, and there can be no doubt that the entrenchments con structed by the British in 1781, have been materially strengthened s:nco the rebellion. When Yorktown falls the fate of tho peninsula is scaled, and tho route to Kichmoud opeuod. N". World. NUMBER 30: Tlie Spring Time. The following beautiful passage occurs in a sermon recently . preached by Henry Ward Beceher : There is something even mere touching than this. It is the flight of birds. All summer they have filled the woods. They sing-from the trees. They rise from thickets and wced-mufilcd fences, as in our wanderings we scare them. They sing in the air. They wake us with their matins. They chant vespers with glorious discordance of sweet melody. They. flit across the lawn, rise and fall on the swinging twig, or rock to the wind on their aerial perch. But after August they become mute ; and in October days they begin to recede from the dwelling. No more twittering wrens; no more circling swallows ;no more grotesque bobolinks; no more larks, sing ing as if they were heart-broken. They begin now to como in troops in the dis tant field. At sunset the pasture is full of flocks of hundreds and thousands. At morning they are gone. And every day brings its feathery caravan. Every day they pass on. Long flocks of fowl, silent ly move fat up against the sky, and al ways going from the North. At evening the wary string of water-fowls, flying low and wistful to some pond for rest and food, fill the air with hoarEC trumetinjr and clangor. They arc going. Winter is be hind them; sum.ncr is before them ; and we arc left. Tho season is bereft. Life is short; darkness is long. Flowers aro suuken to rest The birds have flown away. AYinter, winter winter is upon the earth ! At last come the deccmber days. The shortest is reached. Then a few days stand alike. Then the solar blaze creeps forward a minute in the evening. A lit tle more ; again more, till half hours ring around the horizon till hours arc strung upon the days till the earth comes back till ponds unlock themselves. The for ests grow purple twigged. The tn-eat wiuds sicrh .and rage. M: ircn musters 1 1 and smiles by turns a giant that now is cross, and now kind. The calves begin to come. Lambs bleat. The warm hills are plowed. At last the nights aro with out frost. At length we wake, some unexpected morning, and the blue-bird's call is in tho tree. We throw up the sash. Theieis a smell of soil and leaf in the air. Tho poplar buds are fragrant as balm. Tho air is warm and moist. The birds are surely hero ; they answer each other ; the sparrow, the blue-bird, the robin, and, afar off on tho edges of the swamp, the harsh twanging . notes of the black-bird. It is spring ! : ? Oh, with what a sense of emancipation do we h'ear tho "birds sing again ! God sends his choirs to sing over night and' death for us. Winter, that buried all, is herself put away. Death is swallowed up in victory, aud nature chants the re quiem of the past, and the joy of the fu ture. Now, days shall grow longer, and warmer. Now, iudustry shall move free ly. Now, Cowers shall come up. Seed shall be sown. .Doors and windows 6hall stand open all day long. Around about the barn the hcus t-hall cackle and crow Children shall shout. Spring has come f and all things rejoice at their release. No more inhospitable- snow ; no more blight of cold. All is promise. Men go forth with seed and roots and scions. The orchard ami garden and field are full of life. "The winter is past, ; the raiu is over and gone ; the Cowers appear on the earth ; the t'lac of the singing of birds i come. and the voice of the turtle is heard iu our land." Is this, now, a mere ornamental pas--sage of scripture ? Scripture has no pas satres that are4nerc ornaments. Thinjra ornamental there are in it, but they carry marrow and meat. Unlike all other liter ature Scripture never mere'ly decorates. If there is a figure, it is always for somo erraod of moral meaning. There 13 no description's sake. There is no poetry f-ir mere rcsthetical pleasure. There is ulw.rys profit withal. Nature, then, teaches that to every sea son of trouble and overthrow, there comes resurrection. In the deepot January of the year there is a nerve that runs for ward to June. Life is never extinguish ed. That which seems to be death, reach-' cs forward aud touches that which is vi tal. E27 A singular incident is related of the batt'c of l'ea Ridge : During the ac tion on the Stli, a wood cock, whi- h wa flying over towards us from the secesh tide, suddenly darted to the ground, and was pickcdlij' near Geu. Curtis'- position. It was ascertained that a tray ballet had passed through its body while on the wing. This w:'S regarded as s good onion.'
