Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming
of the Lord ;
He 13 tramulinrr nit the vintage where the
grapes of wrath are stored ;
He hath loosed the fateful lighting of His
terrible swift sword ;
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a bun
dred circling camps;
Thev havebuildedlliman altar in the evening
dews and damps ;
I have read His righteous sentence by the dim
and flaring lamp3 ;
His day i3 marching on.
I have read the fiery gospel writ in burnish
ed rows of steel ;
"As ye deal with contemners, so with you my
grace shall deal ;
Let the Hero born of woman, crush the ser
pent with his heel,
Since God is inarching on."
He hath sounded forth the trumpet that shall
never call retreat ;
He is sifting out the heart3 of men before His
judgment seat ;
O, be swift, my soul, to answer nim! be ju
bilant my feet 1
Our God is marching on.
In the beauties of the lilies Christ was born
across the sea;
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures
you and me ;
As He died to make men bolv, let us die to
make men free,
While God is -marching on.
HY CAPTURE &UB ESCAPE.
AX IXCJDEXT OF THE WAS.
In the ranks of my regiment I arrived
iu Washington City, in June, 1S61, and
was soon after sent out to the sacred soil
of Virginia. Our regiment was sent to
the advance of the Federal lines, and por
tions were sent out on picket duty.
iVhen it came my turn to advance near
the enemy's lines, I felt some apprehen
sions for my safety, and though. I was a
soldier 1 must frankly confess I feared
the rifles of the Confederate sharpshoot
ers. Near where our pickets were sta
tioned, was a litile, o!d-fashioued log
iouse, that looked comfortable, and cueer-
ing, ana oiten maue inc leei sau, wnen
seated in some nook or corner of the bush
es watching the enemy. How that old
og house made my heart palpitate,
and drew from me deep afheav'
siirhs. Not that I had lost ouCparticlc
of my patriotism, or felt any the less brave
and willing to fight for my country; but
it would bring to my mind pictures of
home, and of the niauy pleasant scenes I
had passed with sisters and brothers round
the family board. I noticed that the
house was occupied, and fair forms flitted
in and out, and one ia "particular that
drew my attention. I became deeply in
terested in the inmates of the house
and, as I thought the matter over, it
seemed as if I could not restrain my cu
riosity, but I must visit it. Standing as
it did, between two hostile armies, what
could induce its inmates to remain, with
destruction visible all around them.
It was a beautiful afternoon, in the lat
ter part of June, that I was going on pick
et duty in the vicinity of the log house.
I was determined that day to satisfy mv
eirrsitv and visit the house. Leaving
my companions, I stole across a field or
two, watching with a vigilant eye every
bush and fence to prevent surprise. As
I approached the house I heard a plain
tive song, but sung so sweetly that I wept,
though I felt ashamed of myself as a sol
dier for my wcakuess. I drew close up
beside the house, and in a crouching po
sition I silently listened. The song cea
sed, and a heavy, hasty step sounded on
the floor.
"Father, what is the matter?" I heard
a voice exclaim, that was miugled with
an agitated and mournful quiver.
"My dear, dear daughter, you and your
mother must at once depart. You must
go to Washington, and from thence you
can find your way to Massachusetts, where
3-our uucle live;. Tell him that I, his
brother, implore him to protect you until
I too can reach you. Our country is torn
and distracted, and utter ruin seems to
hang over it. Oh, Clod ! when will all
thi8end?"
"And you, George," I believe this was
the voice of his wife, "where are you go
ing r
I had now approached a crevice through i
which I could see the interior of the
house, and when the question was nsked,
EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, MAY
I could see the man start, and look at his
wife in mute astonishment. Ilia face
turned white, then scarlet, then dark
blue ; his eyeballs seemed to start from
their sockets, and the veins on his neck
swelled to an enormous eize j he trem
bled and. reeled, and down he sat upon a
chair, ,
"Where am I going ?" he gasped
God only knows V
"Why, what on earth do you mean ?"
fairly shrieked his wife.
"I mean this," said he, more calm : "I
am going into the Confederate army, not
from my own froe will, but from compul
sion, to save my property from confisca
tion, to save a home for you and Jenny."
"Oh. father, do not join the Confeder
ate army, but fight for the old Stars and
Stripes, and for the country you have.so
long loved," and Jenny caught her fath
er about the neck, and kissed him.
I could get but a single glance at her
face, but how loffely she looked, pleadiug
for her country and her father's honor.
The mother was standing beside him, and
the great tears flowing down her checks
and dropping on his head.
"Come, dear father, let us go Xorth ;
Uncle David is a good man, and we can
live in safety there.'
Ihe father .at listening to the pleadings
the daughter, and thee were joined by
of
the wife with such stirring pathos that he
yielded, and consented to leave immedi
ately for Washington, and joiu the Feder
al army.
"lou have decided me; 1 will go,
he exclaimed, and the terror that agita
ted him a moment before had entirely
fled.
"Bless you, father !" exclaimed Jenny,
as she drew back an old board that was
against the wall, over the mantel piece,
and from its secret hidinir place drew out
a small, ueauuiui otar opangica uan
ner.
"There, my father, under the folds of
that flag 3rou must tight, it you will go to
war, but not beneath the Palmetto, the
Pelican, and the Serpent;" and she threw
it around his shoulders, while his stalwart
form braced up, and his eyes brightened,
a3 he pressed the Stars and Stripes to his
bosom.
How I loved that trirl, as she stood
there in all the mastery of her pride, ga
zing on her father. I could have fought
a regiment oi rebels at mat moment, or
as man' more as might have been orought
against me. Had 1 been ready to marry
at that moment, I would have made that
jrirl my wife at least a dozen of,times.
Hut my thoughts upon the subject were
of short duration, for j.ust as the lather
was about to make preparations to start
from his home, in stepped four rebel sol
diers, under the command of a Corporal.
Well, sir, we have called for vou,
said the Corporal, "and I don't think we
came any too soon j" and he SDatched the
Star Spangled Uanner Irom the shoulders
of the man, threw it upon the floor, and
stamped upon it. "That is the way we
will set our heels on the necks ot the lan
kce invaders."
How my blood foamed ; it did'nt boil,
but raved through my veins as if it would
burst them. Suddenly Jenny sprang for
ward, and pushed the Corporal back with
such force that he almost fell to the floor,
and snatched up the flag and flaunted it
in his face.
"As under its folds tvranny was driven
from the land, so shall traitors be driven
out or be hung; and if I were a man I
would puniah you for the insult you offer
ed this dear flag of mine."
"I didn't come here to fight the 7omen.
Como, Mr. Davis, you've been drafted, and
must go to the army," said the Corporal.
"I will not fight against my will," ex
claimed the man, exhibiting some signs of
resistance.
"But you shall. Seize him men !"
The rebels sprang forward and caught
Davis,, but being a strong man he hurled
them from him. Again they set upon him
with more success; and was proceeding to
bind him. I could stand it no longer. I
rushed to the door, screaming :
"Come on, boys; we have them now !"
I dashed into the house, and just at
that moment down went one of the rebels,
leveled to the floor by a chair in the hands
of Jenny. Again the chair whirled in
the air, and came down on the head of the
Corporal. The rebels were frightened
and fled from the house; but seeing I
was alone, returned to the combat." Davis
was still bound, and could afford no assis
tance. The fight was unequal, and I was
overpowered and taken prisoner. Davis
and myself were marched off to the ene
my's camp, while Jenny and her mother
were left alone in the house.
For two days I was a prisoner in the
enemy s camp, near rairtux court House.
hat had bejome of Davis I knew not,
and what would become of niel cared not,
now that I had lost the brave irl I had
learned to love. The day had passed
gloomily away, and night was come again.
I was seated in a sort of brush tent, with
a guard pacing up and down in front of it
paying more attention to mo than I
thought was absolutely necessary, When
lost in happy thoughts of home and Jenny
I heard a rustling noise beside me, and a
delicate hand was laid on my arm.
"Follow me, quickly, and I will save
you" she wispered in my ear, and placed
her hand over my mouth.
She then withdrew, and I, sn&kelike,
crawled out of the tent after her. Cau
tiously we moed along until we came to
the guard.
"Who goes there?" came quickly, and
down we dropped upon our faces.
The guard passed .on, and we crawled
forward, stopping to listen. The guard
was returning, and we lay still until he
had passed, and we then pushed forward
more rapidly.
"We are now beyond the camp, but we
have the pickets to pass yet. My father
is waiting for us just yonder," said she
turning a little to the left.
"You are a brave girl," I ventured to
say, and there is no knowing what else I
might have said, but. she placed her fin
ger on my mouth, with a gentle "Hush I"
Secreted in the bushes was her father,
who firmly grisped my hand as we joined
him. Jenny then a placed a musket in
my hand, and I could see by the dim
light that her father was provided with
one, and she carried one, though, I must
confess, rather awkardly. I was all curi
osity and anxious to know how she, the
little frail creature, could accomplish so
much.
-I am afiaid we'll have to fight the
pickets," said her father ; "but it's life
or death, and if we can scare them we
are safe."
In perfect silence wc approached the lo
cality of the picket guard, and thought
we had eluded their vigilance, when a
quick, frightened challenge burst upon
us. This was followed almost instantly
by a flash, and a bullet whizzled close to
uy head.
"Charge on them, boys," shouted Da
vis, as he fired, and I quickly sent a bul
let in the direction of the rebel picket
saw Jenny's musket come to her shoulder
and as it was discharged, she reeled and
would have fallen to the ground, but I
caught her, and in a moment she recover
ed from the shock.
We heard the enemy's pickets retreating
in alarm, and making the most of their
confusion, we dashed toward the Federal
lines, some half a mile distant.
I had made my escape, but not through
my own stratagem or skill, but by tlie
constant work and energy of a young nd
brave girl, whose patriotic heart would
not "forsake her honored and beloved gov
ernment, and whose determination res
cued her father from the hands of the
oppressor.
The muskets she provided us with were
secreted in ner iatncr s nonse. j?ne nau
loaded them, and at night eluded the vig-
ilance of the enemy's guard, and deposited
them where she delivered them to us.
She bade us a touching farewell, and in
company with her mother, proceeded to
the State of Massachusetts.
Her father enlisted in the Federal ar
my, and now, side by side, we are fight
ing to deliver his home from the hand of
the oppressor, while I look forward with
pleasure to the day when I shall be
awarded the hand of Miss Jenny, as a
reward for my efforts to save her father.

Destruction or War. A correspon
dent of a Western papor, who. has lately
visited New Madrid, says, that the town
presents a very sad spectacle, n hole
blocks of houses have been destroyed by
the rebels in order to obtain a clear swecpJ
for their guns ; and even this wholesale
destruction of property does not appear so
badly as the buildings which afe partially
destroyed, bored through and through
with shot and torn with shell, leaving
just enough of them to show what they
once had been. There are none ot its
inhabitants left not one and many
years will elapse before the town will be
what it once was.
XS7When Fort Sumter surrendered,
the following lines appeared in some of
the Southern papers :
"With mortar, Paixban, and petard,
"We tender Old Abe our ISeau-regard."
Things have changed somewhat, and
the llebels, catching it in front and rear,
causing them to flee from the wrath to
come, our Western friends now return
the llebcl's poetic courtesies in thiswise:
"With the rebels all routed and living- with
fear,
We tender Jeff Davis our Foote in his rear."
Kfjak, We depend upon our Foote, but
the rebels depend unon their feitt.
