When - midnight hour is come.
The drummer forsakes his tomb,
And starches, beating his phantom-drum,
To and fro through the ghastly gloom.
He plies the drumsticks tweia
With, Stades' Angers pale,
And beats and beau again and again
Along a dreary nrctelte:
Like the voice of abysmal wire,
Resounds its unearthly tone,
Till the dead old soldiers, long in their gray's,
Awaken through every zone.
And the slain in the land of the Hun,
And the trot's' in the Icy North,
And those who under the barniug ut a
Of Italy sleep, come forth.
And they whose hones longwhile
Lie bleaching in Syrian sands,
And the slumbeeers under the reeds of tie Nile,
Arise, with &rams in their hands.
And at midnight, in his shroud,
The trumpeter leaves his tomb,
And blows a blast long, deep and Immi,
As *irides through the ghastly gloom
And tie yellow moonlight shines
Oa the old Imperial Dragoons;
And the Cuirassiers they form in lines,
And the Carabineers is platoons.
At a signal the ranks unsheathe
Their weapons in rear and van;
But they scarcely appear to speak or breathe,
And their features are sad aid wan.

And when midnight robes the sky,
The V.,unperor Leaves his tomb,
And rides Along, surrounded by
His .shadosil thdr through Use gloom.

In glittering on his hresst;
Is as sulkers at blue and whits
Ands grey camp-frock be is dowsed-
The moonbeams shine afar
Oa llin various ruiurshalled groups,
As the Nam with The glittering silver star
Rides forth to review his troops.

Go igain through their amorist.,
Tilftlismoon withdraws, and a gloomier pall
Of bTackness wraps the skies.
Then around the thief once more
The Generals and Marshals throng;
And he whispers a word oft heard before
In the ear of his raste-Jo-cavip.
In files the troops advance,
And then are no longer seen,
The challenging watchword given is "Prayer!'
The answer is, "Soinle Ildese :"
And this is the Grand Review,
Which at midnight on the welds,
If popular tales may pass for true,

The Sin of Dancing.
The Rev. James L. Corning, the Presbyter
ian Minister at Buffalo, whose lectures on
" the Christian Law of amusement" have oc
casioned some comments, is in favor of flan&
ing. at least as it is practised " on the High
lands of Scotland and the green swords of
Switzerland, and in the •rural districts' of
Germany." lie objects strongly to fashiona
ble suppers and parties, and would seem to
speak, in the following passage, not without
pers anal obserratum :
Why, I have sat beside a professing Chris
tian woman in one of the beautiful parlors of
a fashionable metropolition averse, whose
jeweled neck, and ears, and fingers, and daz
zling brocade, as much as said to the assem
bled guests. ' nose of your dresses coat an
much as mine;' and then I bare seen her ge
into the supper room and eat euough to make
a mine have gripes of conscience, and then
come out obese slid panting fir breath, made
marvelously religious by sandwiches and
champagne, and wind up the farce with a
pious diseource en the Ain of dancing. Now,
I think. that if she had transported a portion
of her conscience from her slippers to her
stomach, though she might have an inch or
two less of philactery, the loss would hare been
compensated by several tulditioual yards of

A. wins+ singular accident occurred in the

There is a very gond story in the papers of
the day, of a joke (?) which was played by
old Dr. Caldwell, formerly of the University
of North Carolina.
The old doctor was a small man, and lean,
but as hard and angular as the most irregu

Re looked as if he might be tough, but he
did not seem strong. Nevertheless, he was.
among the knotting ‘tries, reputed to be as
agile as a "eat:" and in addition, was by no
means deficient in knot% ledge of the "noble
science of self-defence." Besides he was as

The Kentucky Egg-Bator.
Among the prisoners ushered before Judge
Pruden this morning, says &Cincinnati paper,
was a tall, robust, big-boned Kentuckian,
from the vicinity of Caxeville. He is. evident
ly, a descendant of the pure old Kentucky
stock--stout as a lion, fearless as a knight,
and as independent as a free man dare be.—
He was charged with disorderly conduct.—
The arresting officer stated that he found him
" slashing around" in an eating ana drinking
house. and arrested him to preserve the peace•
" What bare you to say to this cliarger'
asked the court.
" A might, that's It rtrtin." replied the pris
oner. "Yon see, squire. I'm a stranger here,
from away down in old Kentucky, an I hain't
lamed ♦er ways. Shall I tell you how I was
eotehed ?"
•' We will listen to you." remarked the
judge, who saw he had a character before him,
and was disposed to let him have vent.
"I go Ave that you're a trump," replied
Kentucky. " But that'. neither here nor
ther. I'm to tell you how I wits notched."
"That's it."
" Wall. squire, I cum to town yesterday.
I 'spaded not to stop lung, so I didn't go to

customers opened his eyes. grinned, an' then
fobshed 'em to me. They was good, but I
wanted a little mixture. I called for a cold

fellow grinned, sad said they hadn't got none.
That kind a riled me, but I kept my temper,
and ordered another dozen an a half of

"And you will eat no more of our eggs?"

out of the court room with the air of a prince.
and amidst the hearty laughter of all who had
witnessed his trial.

Recently Mr. Wenka. a kind-hearted old
philanthropist, of Bethlehem, Pa.. seated
himself in a car at that place, with the in-
Unties of riding to the City of Brotherly
Love. At the next station, a spectral-link
ing individual, apparently in the last stars
of ennsumotioe. and aeoompanied by an in
valid wife, entered the ear occupied by our
philanthropist, and seated themselves quite
near to him. Their terribly emaciated ap
pearanee and °berth-yard cough excited his
sympathy, and. as they seemed to be in indi
gent eireamstanoes. be prepared tooter them
substantial aid. Re lest asked if they were
sick. to which they answered." Yes." Tbey
also said they were very poor, and were go
ing to New Xprk, with the hope that their
friends in that city would allow them a bed
to die on. This dismal explanation brought
the tears to the eyes of Mr. Wanks, and be
at once drew forth his pocket-book. iind of
fered the enterers half of its contents. They
thanked him tearfully, but positively refused
to accept alms. Finding them Axed in their
determination. the benevolent old gentleman
returned his pocket-bnok to its plate, with a
sigh, and introduced another topic of waver
tuition. The trio talked pleasantly together
until the train reached Frankford, when the
sick man drew forth a gold watch from his
pocket, and stated that it was an old Cannily
relic, bet he would sell it for twenty-one dol
lars, rather than accept charity. Without
hesitation. Mr. Wenka took the timepiece,
and handed over the required amount. In
an hour after, the train arrived in Philadel
phia, and the parties separated in a friendly
manner. On the afternoon of the next day,
Mr. W. mentioned the circumstance of his
purchase to some friends who were diming
with him, and exhibited the watch, when it
was found to he a " stuffer," and not worth
more than sea nty-fire cents! The old gen
tleman acknowledged that he had been sold"

Billy H— was one of the most notoriods
butchers of troth in the abstract, that ever
lived. If truth answered the purpose beet.
and a lie would do him a positive injury, it
seemed be would tell a lie in preference to
the truth, at any time and on any occasion.
In this respect he was indeed an anomalz.—
If a man told a big yarn in Billy's hearing,
he was sure to be beaten—Billy had always
something more wonderful to relate.
Billy's neighbor, Judge J--, had had
many a bout with him, spinning yarns, but
invariably had come out second best, although
be had an exuberant imagination, and his
reputation for veracity was none of the
best.
On one °cession the Judge was riding past
Billy's farm, when Billy bailed him, and in
quired if be did'nt want to buy a quarter of
line beef, as he had just killed an elegant
steer.
"Wu he fat, Billy ?" inquired the
Judge.
" 0, yes," answered Billy, 4' Let as a whale.
I rather guess you wonkl think so, if you bat
knew how motels tallow we got out of him.--
Why Judge, we got three hundred and twenty
pounds to the Entetioa—what du you think of
dud?"
Now, the Jedde thought this to be rather
a tough yarn, but he felt more inclined to
beat Billy at his own game than to express
any doubt about his veracity.
" That was a pretty considerable steer,
Billy," replied the Judge.. " but not a patch
in' to one I killed a few years ago. Ile
weighed net ores two thousand pounds and
he turned out four hundred and ten pounds
of tallow, as near as I can recollect."
Billy was taken all aback for an instant,
but °enacting himself, be confessed that this
was the largest animal of the as kind be had
ever heard of, eseept one that be once sold an
the Philadelphia market.
" This," said Billy. '4 was the largest steer
that ever had been seen in the recollection of
man. Ile was an elephant in proportions—
somethin4 on the Mastodon order. When
we got lam into the city." oontieued Billy,
"his gigantic dimensions struck every one
with amazement. It was almost Christmas
time. sad heints bought by a butcher for
Christmas beet On Christmas eve prepara
tory to being slaughtered, he was paraded
through the streets, deoorated with flowers and
gay colored ribbons, and followed by an im
mense crowd." "Well." said Billy, •• he was
slaughtered, and he weighed. net, twenty
seven hundred poundal How much tallow
do you think we got oat of him 1"
The Judge thought such an animal would
turn out considerable more than a good deal.
Ile, however, told Silly he would 'at hazard
an opinion by guessing at the amount.
" replied Billy. triumphantly, " we
got from that steer four hundred and seventy
five pounds of tallow.--and darn every button
en my old coat, if we did'at

The shrill note that the Judgs emitted as
rode of would have drowned die sound of
a steam whistle. He let Billy Nigro his ova

Cmeral &oil and Me European Trur.—A
very silly paragraph is going the rounds of
the papers, and has found its way into our
own, that General Soot& had bet SOO bottles
of champagne that Louie Napoleon would
never re-enter France alive. The opinion
and the bet both surprised Gen. Scott this
morning, and he regrets that any friend or
enemy should have taken such liberties with
his name. Both statements are absurd and
ridiculous. Gen. Scott is neither a betting
taan nor a gustier of champagne. Nis habits
aro extremely temperate in all things, and
his manner of life a most exemplary one.—
We do not knew what Gen. Scott's opinions
are in regard to the war in Europe, but as

Zngland Looking to America.
Mr. d'lsraeli, the Chancellor of the Eng
lish Exchequer, in a great speech made to
the electors of Buckinghamshire, was com
pelled to talk principally of the warlike rela
tions of the Continental power., and it is re
markable that, while he predicted the damage
which other nations would be likely to
suh
tain, he dwelt upon the security of England.
One reason assigned for his confidence, apart
from the great wealth of England, was the
reliance she might place upon her American
connexienr. We cannot believe what ho ap
peared
t.) intimate, that the present war will
run into a general war of nations and raw!,
and yet, in the event of such a contingency,
his remarks possess so much interest that wo
extract them at length. lie said :
I know well that if there is to be a war
of nationalities, of opinions, and of races—
* war of revolution and reconstruction—we
shall weather the storm. [Cheers.] It will
not be Englandthat will suffer. It is Europe
that will be injured, Europe that will be des
olated, and the very potentates whose pride
and ambition and lust of conquest are bring
ing about this perilous state of affairs will
find themselves at the cod in an inferior posi
tion to which they now occupy. [Cheers.l
Gentlemen, we hear a great deal of balance
of power, of the importance of sustaining cer
tain barriers in Europe, and many other
axioms--all which to a certain degree are
true, and which may for a certain time con
tinue to prevail; but let me take this oppor
tunity of idtpreasing upon you that the day
is coming, if it has not already come, when
the question of the balance of power cannot
be oonfined to Europe alone. Since the time
when that doctrine obtained, great communi
ties have risen in another hemisphere, who
I will not permit the balance of power to be
limited to Europe. You have on the other
side of the Atlantic vigorous and powerful
communities who will no longer submit to
your circumscribed theory of authority. The
Australian colonies, though now in their
your but id the youth of pante, have al
ready, as it were, thrown their colossal shad
ow ov Europe ; and it is for old Europe I
lament the is exhausting her energies
and resour in these wars. I could wish
that she d rather prepare for that awful
competition which in coming time she must
' encounter. I would rather see France and
Germany and Russia develops their resources,
improve their agriculture, increase their
population, and cultivate the arts of life, social
and scientific, Instead of wasting their
strength, risking their stability, and sinking,
when Sheers to which I bare referred arrives,
by their own mismanagement and want
of prescience, into en inferior and exhausted
position. Remember always that England,
though she is bound to Europe by tradition,
by erection, by great sinsiliarity of habits
and all those ties which time alone can create
and iNansecrase, is not a mere Power of the
Old Weld. liar geographical position, her
laws, her language, and religion connect her
as much with the New World u with the
Old ; and, although she has occupied not on
ly an eminent position among European na
tio*s fur ages, still, if ever Europe by her
shortsightedness falls into an inferior
a
exhausted state, for England there will i
rid''
main an illustrious (stare. [Cheers.] We
are bound to the oossissunitiee of the New
World, and those ;rasa States which oueown
pigmies/kg and eolonising effigies base created,
by ties and by interests which will sustain
our power, and enable us to play as great a
part in the times yet to come as we do in
these days, and as we have done in the past,
sheers and, therefore, now that Europe
is on the eve of war, I say it is fur Europe,
not for England, that my heart sinks."
Stereographs of Battles.
Dr. Holmes, in his scientific contribution
to the Last Atlantic MostAly, says:
" The next Europeanwar will send us ste•
reographs of battles. It is asserted that a
bursting shell can be photographed. The
time is perhaps at hand when a Bash of light
as sudden and brief as that of the liThtninT
which shows a whirling wheel standing stock
still, shall preserve the very instant of the
shock of contact of the mighty armies that
are now gathering. The Lightning frem hea
ven does actually photo7raph natural objects
on the bodies of those it has just blasted—so
we are told by many witnesses. The light

forced to sterotype itself into a stillness as

agara as we see it self-pietured."

The admiration of Mr. Bryant for Jefferson,
is suddenly conceived. During the whole life
of Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Bryant was his hiller
enemy, and this letter is the first intiatafton
we have had of a change in his seatiment to
wards the illustrious statesman. To show
the absurdity of Mr. Bryant's claim to the
title of Jefferson Democrat, which he would
feign acquire, a correspondent of the New
Hampshire Gazelle furnishes that paper with
a poem written years ago by that would
be apostle of Jeffersonian Democracy. Hero
