A broken, rough-hewn tombstone mark3 The grave dug long ago, In shadow of a mighty rock On a hill broad and low, The grass is short, aad scorched and brown. On that fursaken tomb, And there no blossoms ever spring, To grace it -with their bloom. The daisy, from far Eugland's soil ; The primrose, pale and sweet; The violet, dearest gem of all None such the eye may greet. These are for grassy churchyard mounds. Where Love's wild ters are shed, And Love's eyes watch, and Love's hands tend The dwelling cf the dead. Oaly the thin, parched, summer grass, And dark-green thistles wave, Where lits, beneath the hillside rock, The esile's lunely grave; For, when Death's awful presence cast A sacred terror here, Love's hand, aud eye, and heart were far Froia the rude, baity bier. Aiid siacf, the storms of thirty years Have swept above the spot: The iua has glowed, the en ill rain poured, Bat Love has knowa it not.

"Why did you not explain that to Gcd. Waring?" "Ilia words were such as no gentleman could reply to." A captaincy in another regiment was offt-red to the major, and it was ako prom ised that a full investigation bhould be I made iuto the affair. This was ou the lourtli day of the pro tracted battle that attended the tran.-fcr uf the Army cf the l'otouiac from the Cliickahouiiuy to the James river. There had breii some gallant fighting every day, and the arm- vas thinned and weary, but undaunted. 'When the line of battle was formed, on ihe following morning, Major Godfrey found himself put in command cf a handful of heroes, gathered from several annihilated companies, and formed iuto a new one As lie waited down th: line of incon irrunuy assorted men. soiled, grimed and in inanv cs-s wounded, he spoke a few stirring word?.

During me of these savage onslaughts, a cavalry sabre happened to alight upon ths young ofnecr's lorehcad, knocking oU i;is cap, ar, l leaving a fine critusou trench from his hair to his eyebrow. After this he looked more like the men ha led.

"Whoever isn't afraid, come 00 ! If you wont follow, I shall have to take that battery alone!" This magnificent piece of hyperbole must have been beard to be appreciated. The yhole scene agreed with its tenor. A field covered with ghastly corpses and wounded men ; a wreck of arms and criui page scattered everywhere; a smoky stenehing atmosphere, quivering and pierced by the terrible veils and cries of the dying, the awful scream of wounded horses, the horrible concussion of heavy caution tDcessaHtly fired, and the fi2rce howl of a thousand shot and shell ; a dis ordered and broken host of men, trembling on the verge of flight, with ofScers gallop ing hither aud thither, cursing, praying, threatening and imrdoring By turns this was the exaggerated and wonderful back ground to the picture. In front, amid the wreck, aad ruin and pools of gore, and golgotha-piles of dead, a company of sixt or seventy heiocs, without coats, often without shirts, without knapsacks, without a Sag, with uniforms of ha if a-dozen pat terns, aad arms as il'-as.-orud; muddy, dusty, bloody, bruiseo, blackened, lower ing of eye a'sd defiant o' lips, and bt-fo'e them ail, the tall, manly figure of their leader, with his face covered with blood trom lire, bandaged g&sh on. his forehead, his br)ad chest exposed, Lis sleeves rolled up, and his kauds, arms, legs and fret im bued and clotted with gore, like those of a butcrher, waving that crimson blade, and roaring forth his determination, tot) iui-po-sible for a threat, and too splendid for a boast that was the situation. Without waiting for a murmur of assent from his men, this siad creature cried : "Now then! 'Double quick! Charge!" and ran- forward arfu'l speed toward the bat t err.-th'ui.trte tied it3 "deathlul, jrxinninir mouths' athort intervals to emit tonirues of fire and iroo that licked up men and horses and trees alike. The scattering regiment saw the charge and paused. Se veral companies, not yet disordered, got into line and followed, but Godfrey and his comuinud weie already far in advance. Flame and lury whirled down 'in red hot sheets of" destruction from the battery. Thick smoke -nd darkness lurked behind. It was au inky cloud, stiSiugand heavy, bat charged with the splendor and horror of pandemonium. The air gaped and closed with tcrific blows at every shot, and the ground trembled and winced at the awful detonations. Lights gleamed and glared, and scorched the very eye balls of tho?e who looked. All was vague and bewildering with dizzy noises, and roaring as of a million wheels and voices, and. the brain soon got befogged and dazed by the awfal m ignificence of th ascent into the teeth of the guns that shouted defiance aud leaped back like living foes. Into the centre of this hell went Captain Godfrey, crying as he ran : "1 was called a coward, yesterday, boys ! what do you think of this?" As the devoted remnant of the company for only forty men reached the frout of the battery cauie exactly before the guns, a sudden discharge of grapeshot roared along the hill, brea?t high, and a storm of musketry followed. The few companies that had siecepte-J the example of the rt replied by a close volley, as they harg?d, and within a tew moments the l.i'.l was covered with a' mass of determined men, pouring up in increasing rumbtrs. stretching down to the wooded raviue be yond, where the enemy had already begun to waver. The ice was broken ; the path was shown by Captain Godfrey's men, and the regiment had followed, unable to stand still and see such a deed of daring done. The battery was withdrawn with mar velous speed and address, but the infantry that had supported it was driven back in disorder. It was a successful repulse, and due cutir;ly to the unflinching heroism of the little band that led. And that bind? I know nothing of it, save that Godfrey's body was found where the centie tf the battery had been. His sword, still graspf 1 iu his hand, was through an artiilerym.rj's ribs, aud a musket ball had gone into his own chest, just over the heart. There were seventeen other -wounds upon him, but that one killed him. As for his men, the hill was, an old sergeant said, "carpet ed with corpses;" I suppose theirs were a portion of the cape. T.

Ilo&seau's Argument. Gen. Rosseau has been arguing with j secessionist and had decidedly the best of j it. Some secessionists at Ilujitsville, Ala-, ; emandc-d" a guard for their property, tcr j which the General ret lied : I "Let JefL Davis furnish fcis disciples ' with guards. They acknowledge the va- ' lidity of his government, and declare thej arc rightful subjects to no other ; let thcra j look to him for protection." j A cor respondent also relates the follow- I was in hii "tent, when a gentleman came before him requesting permission to j po beyond our lines to visit Lis w fe. Ifa bad never taken up arms against tho j Union, but had aided and abetted those j who had, aod admitted that he was still a j secessionist. . j "You can't go !'' said the Gen. j "It seems very bard," replied the cc- cessionist, "that I cannot go to see my wife." j "Xo harder for you thsu it is for ne," returned the Gen. "I want to see my wife. You compelled me to leave hei by j your treason. You surely don't expect ; me do grant you a favor which your rebel- i lious conduct prevents me from enjoy- "Well, tut. Genera!" "It is useless to talk sir. If you will go to work and assist me to return to my wife, I wil! do all in my power to enable you to return to yours.' "What do yoa wish rae to a? Gener al ?" "I wish you to return to your alle giance, and, as far as lies in your power, to discountenance rebellion aud treason." "But General, my conscience will act allow me to do that." "Neither then," replied the Kentucky j patriot, "will my conscience allow me to grant you favors which are due only' to loyal men." m Of course there wastiothing further ta be urged; thts bafied rebel took up his hat anil left. The General tnrued toward tho?e who were sitting iu his teat and re- j marked : "When you have rendered these rebels fully sensible of how much they have lost by their rebellion, then you have taken the first step towards making them loyal men."
