ONLY WAITING
A very aged Christian, who was so poor
as to be in the almshouse, was asked what
he was doing now ? He replied, "ONLY
AITING."
ONI,Y waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer -
Of the day's last beam bath flown;
Till the night of earth is faded
From the heart once full of day;
Till ihe stars of heaven are breaking
Thiourh the twilight soft and gray
Only walling till the reapers
Have the last sheaf gathered home;
For the summer time Is faded,
And the autumn winds have come.
Quickly. reapers. gather quickly
The last ripe hours of my heart,
For the bloom of life is withered,
And I hasten to depart.
Only waiting till lhe angels
Open wide their mysile Cato,
Al whose feel I long have, lingered,
Weary. poor, and desolate.
liven now 1 hear I heir footsteps,
And their voices, far twat' ;
If they call non, I am waiting,
Only wal‘Vig to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows -
Are a little longer grown ;
Only waiting till ihe glimmer
of the day's lent b6ant Is flown;
Then from out. the gathered darkness,

Ity wle.se light me soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway to the skins.
[From Chwrobers' Jrurmsl.]
LOCKED IN.
It was on a leaden-look leg 'evening„ in
October, 1856, that the fast sailing packet
Concidation steamed out of the harbor at,
Holyhead. Dark clouds were gathering
overhead, the short chopping waves
slapped the sides of the vessel impatiently,
and the thick flack smoke shot straight
from the funnel to the receding shore, as
if anxious to escape from the restless tur
bulence of the water, and from a sooty
canopy over dry land. - -
There were but few passengers on board,
and a drizzling rain sent them below
One gentleman alone stood his ground
upon the quarter-deck, and, comfortably
encased in a suit of oil-skin, puffed his ci
gar in defiance of the weather. lie was
a tall, fair-haired man, with a bright eye,
thin, high-bridged nose, and light wavy
moustaches, through which was seen a
good-humored but sarcastic mouth. lie
accommodated himself to the motion of
vessel like an experienced traveler, and,
with wel:-gloved hands deep in his capa
cious pockets, looked on the steersman,
the funnel, the lights upon the distant
pier ; and the vibration beneath him and
about him, with an easy and comfortable
nonchalance of manner that seemed pecu
liar to him.
Aug 1,'59
Upon an obsequious and curly-headed
steward—who kept coming on deck, and
then diving down into the cabin upon
those purposeless e-rands which would ap
pear to be the continual employment of
those functionaries when on duty—pass
ing near the traveler he said: '• Have
you conic to tell me that I musn't smoke?"
"No, sir," said the steward, with his
usual deprecating smile ; " you can smoke
if you choose, sir : there's nobody on deck
but you.
" Very few passengers to-night," re
marked the gentleman.
" Yes, sir, very few, sir," replied the
steward ; " you're the only cabin passen
ger aboard."
" Ant 1?" said the gentleman. "Then
I suppose I shall have my choice of
berths ?"
" V hichever you please sir, when you
come below. We've only one other pas
senger, and she's a lady "
“ rah !” said the gentleman, looking
down the sky-light, ss if to see his fellow
traveler were in the cabin. "I um afraid
we shall have a rough passage."
" Yes, sir ;" answered the acquiescent
steward ; " it does look very dirty to the
wind'ard, sir;" and heit'd down again.
The traveler lighted a fiTsh cigar, tossed
away his old one, looked at the white foam
in the vessel's wake and resumed his
march. Ile was naturally a gregarious,
companionable sort of a fellow, fond of
society, argument, the shock of opinions,
and collision of ideas. lie had hoped to
.meet some other well traveled man, with
Whom he could have smoked and chatted.
Ile felt that he should bore hiniselfalune,
and began to think about the lady who
was his sole compunion in the boat.
" I wish I knew her," thought lie; "we
could converse sonic, hours away Tw?nty
years ago, I should have considered this
quite an adventure. What fools men are
in their salad days! I should have tho't
that it way fete-that--had -thrown — us to- - -
,gether, because we wero destined for each
other. Perhaps she is married or old, or
disagreeable. I shall be horribly bored
until we reach Kingstown."
After half an hour's more walking,. he
looked down thelky•light•oncoagai„, and
saw a lady seated in the cabin taking tea.
"She dosn't suffer, a& all events," he
thought to himself; " I may as well.have
a look at her ;" and .he finished his cigar,
and deeended the brass bound steps lead
ing to the," candy."
. The lady about.whom be felt so inter
ested, was over thirty years of age, and,
despite a pallid. complexioiland languid,
inour I ful ; eyes, possessed great ,beauty.—
lier manners, were elegant:4od. refined ;
arid a tinge of exhaustion in her lace and
voice heigthened the sense of i.ubdued sen
timent that hang around her. Over
wi ought sensibility and sensitive nervous
organization were writteri..in the constant
play, of her short thin upperlipi. and the
perfect taste of her - dress, - completeti -- ,the
charm of a very fascinating invalid.
When:the gentleman entered the..enhin,

" Yield to a suggestion of wine for

his face lighted up with a bright idea—
" suppose we take tea together ?"
" Together !" echoed the lady.
" Oh ! don't be alarmed" said the gen
tleman ; " you shall pay fur your own, and
I for mine, and we'll have it on different

DJspite the rapid begings.of her hc,art,.
the lady could not repress a smile, of
which her husband took immediate ad
vantage by ordering tea for himself at the
table opposite his wife.

Mrs. Thirlby, observing that her has

expression of deep, interest. -Finding that
his earnest gaze was noticed, that gentle

Mrs-Nhirlby knit her. brotvs - ; for. a

the cabin and

" If so, you pursued the opposite tac

' Yes, you did

' Yes, you. AO!'

undamaged hand, and,so knocking off the
other cup, which broke into a dozen o
ptecei
' There,' said the husband, picking up
the fragments carefully, and arranging
them before her, 'perhaps you didn't
break that either ?'
It would be impossible to describe the
extent to which handsotrre Mrs Thirlby
was put out by this accident. Her face
darkened, and without losing its beauty,
looked a thunder storm—the ox•eyed Juno
wrathful with Jupiter.
Thirdly tried to walk the cabin. 'Time
has not subdUed that awful tomper then?'
said he.
' Nor the recollection of your ill-usage,'
she replied Neither ten years nor ten
hundred can do that.'
Ten hundred !' he remarked; you'll be
a fine old lady by then.'
' And so will you,' retorted the wife;
'you're more th n forty now.'
Well, if I am ;' answered the husband
angrily, 'you're five•and•thirty—no chick

One of the chief reasons that matrimo
nial differences are so bitter is, that_ each
party is so well informed of the enemy's
weak side
Why, ' positively you're bald,' said
Mrs. Thirlby, who had not before perceiv
ed the shining scalp in the centre or her
husband's cranium; Yes, quite bald at
the top !'
Mr. Thirlby turned white with passion
—he was a very vain man—and walked
up to her as if about to make some over
whelming reply. Unfortunately her hair
was as black, as lustrous,and as rich as ever
Luis wife guessed his intim Lion, and said
aggravatin4ly : Poor old man, was he
bail, then ?'
l You know you were always a beauty,'
sneered the husband.
Mrs Thiriby rose from her seat and
bowed, as if she said I know it;' which
irritated her husband more than ever.
' As lovely as afflicted,' o intinned he.
At all events, rcplied the lady ' that

'like what you were—very.'
'And in his manner?'
'He is passionate in the extreme ; like
what you were—very. Here is a letter
I had from him last Thursday. He is on
a visit to my cousin, who was married 'to
Colonel O'Grady three years ago.'
The father took the letter, and ,held it
under the shaking lamp. The gale had
blown itself into a perfect storm, and
he could hardly keep upon his feet as he
read the large school-boy hand :
" MY DEAR, DEAR MAMMA.--I am so
glad that you are so soon coming. I have
no news. lam quite well. Freddy's
pony hurt one of his knees yesterday.
We go to Sandy Mount every day. Aunt
sends her love—so does Freddy. God
L less you.
"Your affectionate FaAN►tTE."
Merryon Square, Dublin, Ireland.
The letter was read and re-read till the
lines became bluired and indistinct, and
a deep sob heaved up from the father's
heart. as he stretched forth has hand to
his wife and said: " Maria forgive me I"
But Mrs. Thirlby remained silent and
impassive.
"For the sake of our boy," he urged,
"the child of whose existence I was un
aware—till—till—forgive me !"
-" Do you wish to keep the letter ?" in
quired the 'wife.
. "
"With your permission. Do you ever
speak to him about me ?"
" Often "
"0, Maria, let us be friends I"
Mrs Thirlby answered slowly and de
libeiately, with a pause between every
third or fourth word : After an absence—
of more than ten years—meeting so un
expectedly —you could not control—your
violent and sarcastic nature—l will NOT
be—its victim. I pardon what is past—
but when I leave this boat—we never
meet again !"
•" Maria"—he tried to take her hand,
but she withdrew it—can't you forgive
me?"
" The past—yes: the future I will not
trust in your hands. As I said, when we
leave this boat—"
The stewardess entered the cabin sud
denly by the stairs leading to the deck.
The door was heard to luck behind, and
there was a noise overhead as of shutting
fastening. She staggered forward, and
said in a low, resigned, but trembling
voice: " If you wish to pray, do so at
once; we are expected to go down every
minute !"
Thirlby looked at her for an instant,
then taking his wife up in his arms, rushed
to the cabin door.
" We are fastened down !" said the
stewardess with terrible calmness. "The,
crew is in Elio rigging !shall
_go to my
cabin and meet it there.- Oh, pray for
your soul's sake, for we have not long to
live!" She wont to her own little cabin
at the side, and shut the door.
Husband and wife were locked in each
other's arms. How poor and paltry seem
ed their enmities and jealousies, their
poisoned arrows of speech and verbal
victories ! Eternity was near them, and
about them, lashing at the_shaking ves-
sere sides, howling for theinin the wind,
roaring for them in the sea! the ship pal
pitated like a timid hare, as though eager
to offer human victims to appease the
hunzry elements, and save itself. Neither
spoke; but a long, endearing kiss pro
claimed mutual forgiveness—then heart
boating against heart, han 1 in hand, their
fingers intertwined within each other,
they knelt and prayed In his height of
health and pride of sarcasm, Thirlby some
times scofflid at religion, and ridiculed
his wile's strict observances with con
siderable humor—now, he felt sure that
she was right, and cheek to cheek arid lift
to lip uttered fervent prayers for heavenly
pardon and her safety.
Only once during the night the world
came back to" him, when he sobbed out .
"I shall never see my boy ? "
And minute after minute, each longer
than the last, passed away ,ev?ry succeed
ing shock and lurch of the frail boat,
they expected to feel' the floor sink wider
them, and . the water pour down into their
cushioned sea-tomb.
A violent crash shook the ship from
stem to stern ; the cabin lamp fell shiv
ered into atoms, and all was darkness.
They clutched tightly hold of each other,
and thought their time had come.
The night passed. A ribbon of
_grey
light in the horizon _ separated sea from
sky ; the gray grew whiter and more bright
—it was morning. Husband and wife
looked into each other's haggard faces;
they had thought they should never see
them more.
The daylight was an inexpressible re
lief ; they should not perish in the dark.
Light was the breath of Heaven. They
were not forgotten I ,
"Think you there is any hope ? " whis
pered the . wife, almost afrald , to trust the
sound of her own voice.
As she spoke, there was a noise upon
the deck, and the sounds of sea and wind,
and straining boards and creaking cordage
grew more audible. The cabin door flew
open, and the steward, wet as from a bath,
and his face bleeding, looked in. 1 t All
right !' he gasped : saved !—saved
Where's my missus ? Jane, dear, open the
dour—we're saved ; I tell you I'
The stewardess opened ilfe - door, and
both couples repaired to the deck

ST. Louis, Sept. 1, 1861.
The following proclamation was issued
yesterday:
"HEADQUARTERS OF THE WESTERN DE

ST. Louts, August 31,
"Circumstances, in my opinion of sufficient
urgency, render it necessary that the Corn

assume the administrative powers of the
State. Jts disorganized condition, the help-
lessness of the civil authority, the total inse
curity of life, and the devastation of property
by bands of murderers and matiraders, who
infest nearly every county in the State, and
avail themselves of the publi.c misfortunes
and the vicinity of a hostile force to gratify
private and neighborhood vengence, and who
find an enemy wherever they find plunder,
finally demand the severest measures to re•
pr'ess the daily increasing crimes and outrages
which are driving off the inhabitants ana
ruining: the State. In this condition the pub
lic safety and the success of our arms require
unity of purpose, without let or hindrance to
the prompt administration of affair-,.

tection to the persons and property of loyal
citizens, 1 do hereby extend cud declare cstab-
I Wird martial law throughout the Stale of

All persons who have been led away

After receiving his wound, it bled to such
a degree as to excite the sympathy of a
mounted officer, who offered the soldier
his horse. The retreat had not then be

field in this direction. Soon after he
noticed the general stampede, and putting
spurs to his horse, he flew along in ad
vance of the rest. But loss of blood soon
persuaded him to try the ehrity - of the
-first farm house he Mane to. Dismount
ing at tile gate, a lady ran out to meet him.
The sight of his bloody face and clothes
excited her sympathies, and with tearful'
eyes she ,asked him to enter the house.
He did , so, and she bathed his face,
and dressed his wounds. When she had
done all she could for him, she asked
him "if he was not sorry he 'had come to
fight the South and if ho would en
gage in 'another battle?" "Most certainly
