Shadows future—inure nine-pound babies, I more Live syrup, &c , &c., etc. I'll :just tell you how I got can!iht. I was the durndest, most tea-custard,! bashful fellow you ever did see ; it was kinder in my line to be taken with ,the shakes every time I saw a pretty girl ap preaching me, and lid cross the street any time rather than face one. 14 wasn't: because I didn't like the critters, for, if I was behind a fence peeking through a knot hole, I could look at one long enough. Well, my sister Lib. gave a party one night, and I stayed away from home be cause I was too bashful to face the music. I hung around the house, whistling "Old Dan Tucker," dancing to keep my feet warm, watching the heads bob up and down behind the window curtain, and wishing the thundering party would break up so that I could get to my room. I smoked a bunch of segars, and, as it was getting late and mighty uncomfortable, I concluded to shin it up the door post. No soorior said than done and I soon found myself in bed. "Now" says I "let her rip, dance till yer wind gives out !" and, cuddling under the quilts, Morpheus grabbed me. I was dreaming of soft shell crabs, shrimps, stewed oysters &c., when somebody knocked at the door. " Rap," 1 laid low. " Rap, Rap, Rap !" then I heard a whispering and I knew there was a whole raft of girls outside. " Rap, Rap, Rap," then Lib sings out "Jack are you there ? ‘: Yes," says I—then canto a roar of laughter. - "Let us in," says she. " I won't'" says I. Then another laugh. By thunder ! I be gan Li. get riled. "(isn't you let a follow alone ?" " Are you abed," says she. " I am," says I. Get tip," says she. " I won't," says I. Then another laugh. " Get out you petticoated scarecrows," I cried, " can't ybu get a beau without. pulling a fellow out of bed ! I won't go home with you-1 ivont—Lso you may clear out !" and throwing a boot at the dom. I felt better. But presently, Oh ! mortal buttons, I heard a still small voice very' much like my sister Lib's, and it said.: Jack, you'll have to get up, for all the girls things are in-there." Oh Lord ! what a pickle I think of me in-bed,all-Tered.over with muffs; shawls, bonnets'ad cloaks, and twenty girls at the door wahine , z' at the door to get in ; if had had time to think I should have fainted oti the spot, as it was -I rolled out among the bonnet . ware and ribbons in a hurry.

The-moment came . ; I opened the io,or and found myself right among the women. " Oh my ;leer Leghorn 1• 4 :' cried ono, "my dear darling littld winter beaver!" cried anotherj and they pitched'and they pulled . , this way and that, and one bright eyed little. piece, "Sal.," her name. was, put 'her arms around my,neck and, kissed me right in, the mouth. Human nature couldn't stand that u and gpie -us food — as iihe sent. It was the first Mina oyeir got a taste, and - it was powerful MAIPMR, YO2 TR% aRESIT asaam. good. I believe I could have kissed that gal from Julius Cicsar to the 4th of July. '• Jack," said she, "we are sorry to dis turb yoU, but wont you see . me home ?" "Yes." said I" I will." And I did and I had another smack at the gate too. After that we took a kinder turtle•doving after each other; both of us sighed like a barrel of cider, when we were away from each other. It was at the close of a glorious summer day—the sun was setting behind a dis tant hog-pen—and the chickens were go ing to roost—the bull-frogs were commen cing their evening songs—the pollywogs in their native mud-puddles were prepar ing themselves for the shades of night— and Sal and myself sat upon an antiqua ted back-log, listening to the music of nature : such as tree-toads, roosters, grunt ing pigs, and now and thOri the mellow music.of a distant jackass, was wafted to Our ears by the gentle zephyrs that sigh -ed among the mullen stalks, and came heavily laden with the delicious odors of hen roosts and pig stys. The last linger ing rays of the setting sun, glancing from the brass buttons of a solitary horseman, shone through a knot-hole ia the hog-pen, full in Sal's face, dying her hair of an orange-peel hue, and showing off my threadbare coat to a bad advantage. One of my arms was around her Waist, my hand resting on the small of her back— she was toying with my jet black locks of auburn hue, She was almost gone mid I was ditto. She looked like a grasshopper dying with the hiccoughs, and I felt like a mud turtle choked with a cod-fish ball. " Sal," says 1, in a voice as musical as the notes of a dying swan, " will you have me?" . She turned her eyes heavenward, clasp ed me by the hand, had an attack of' the heaves and blind stag , .ers and w ith a si; , :h that drew her shoe strings to her throat, s aid ye," She gave clear _out and squatted in tity lap—l hugged until I broke both my suspenders, and h. :sr breath sot •'t onions she ate.

The night., the company and the min ister came; the signal was given, and arm in arm we marched through the crowded hall. We were just entering the parlor door, when down 1 went ker-slap on the oil-cloth, pulling Sal after _me. S.owe cussed fellow dropped a banana skin on the floor and floored me. It split anaw ful .bole in my eassimeres, right under' my dress coat-tail. It was too late to back out, so clapping my hands over it, we nnirched in and were splicel. Taking a seat 1 watched the bride-kissing Opera tion. My groomsman was tight and he kissed her until L got up to-- take a alive when, ()It, horror ! a little six year old imp had crawled up behind me, and pull ing my shirt through the hole in pants, had pinned it to the chair, and in jump ing up 1 displayed to the admiring gaze of the astonished multitude a trifle more white muslin than was allowable. I was finally put to bed when all my troubles ended. Good night. MY CAPTURE AND ESCAPE AN INCIDENT OF TILE WAR In the ranks of my regiment I arrived in Washington City, in June, 1861, 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. When 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, I must frankly confess I feared the rifles of the Confederate sharpshoot ers. Near where our pickets were sta tioned, was a little old fashioned log house, that looked comfortable and cheer ing, and sa often made me feel sad, when' seated in some nook or corner of the hush es, watching the enemy. How that old log house made my heart palpitate, and drew from me deep and heavy sighs. Not that I had lost one particle or my patriot ism, or felt any less brave and willing to fight for my country ; but it would bring to my mind pictures of home, and of the many pleasant scenes 1 had passed with sisters and brothers around the family board noticed that the house was oc cupied, and fair forms flitted in and out, one in particular that drew my attention. I became deeply interested in the inmates of the house—and as I thought the mat ter over, it seemed us if I could not re strain my curiosity, 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 again on du ty near the log house. I was determined that day to satisfy my curiosity and visit the house. Leaving my companion", I stole across a field or two, watching with a vigilant eye ()Very bush and . fence to prevent surprise . . AS 1 approached the house „I heard a plaintive song,but-sung so sweetly that 1 wept, though I felt ashamed of myself as a soldier for my weakness. I drew close ,up beside the , house, and in a crouching position I id, lently listened. The . . song ceased,. a heavy• hasty step sounded on the floor: "Father, what is the matter ?" I heard a voide4i.claim„ that was' mingled with an agitated and mournful quiver. "My dear? dear daughter, you and - your mother must depart at' once. You must go to Washington, and from .thence to Massachusetts, where your unole lives. Tell.him that I, his brother, implore him to protect you until I can -reach you. Our country is torn and'distracted, and _utter ruin seems to bang over it. , Oh, god; when will this end ! "And you" George," I' believe this mas_the voice of his - wife, "where are you going?" had now approached a crevice CARLISLE, PA., FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1862. through which I could see,-;the interior of the house, and when the question was asked, I could see the man start, and look at his wife in mute astonishment. He turned white, then searlet;:.then a dark blue; his eye-balls seemed start from their sockets, and the veinst:of 'his neck swelled to an immense sizei; . sorembled and reeled, and sat down ufiOn a; chair. "Where am I going ? he gasped, "God only knows !" " Why ? what on, earth dO4ou mean ?" fairly screamed his wife. " I mean this," said ho mclo calm': "I am going into the Confederate army, not from my own freo will but filim compul sion, to save my property frptn-•eontisca, tion, to save a home for you and Jenny." "Oh father, do not join t 4. Confeder ate army, but fight for the c old STARS AND STRIPES, and for tlie -, deuntry you have so long ;eyed," and -Jelmy caught her father' about the neck and kissed him. I could get but a single grdlisce at bir face, but how lovely she looked, pleading for country and her father's honor. The mother was standing beside him, ai.d the great te:tre flowing down- and dropping on his head. "Come, dear father, let us, go North; Uncle David is a good gum, and Nye . can live in safety there." The father is listening to the pleading of his daughter. and these were joined by the wife with such stirring pathos that he yielded, and consented to leave immedi ately for Washington, and join the Fed eral army. YouhaVe decided me will go," he exclaimed, and the terror tlat agitated him a moment before had entirely fled. Bless you, faherl i Nxelaiined Jenny', as she drew back an old board that Was ;uainst the wall, over the inantlepiece, and from its secret hiding place drew forth a small tar-Spangled Banner. "There, my father, under the folds of that flag you must fight, if you Will go to war, but not beneath the Pahnotto, the Pelican, and the Serpent," and; she threW it around his shoulders, - While his stalwart form braced up, and his 4.,yes bril.,Fhtened, as he pressed the Stars and Stripes to his bosom. How I loved that girl; as she stood there in all the majesty of her pride, gazing on her father I could have fought a regiment of rebels at that mo ment, or as many us might have been brought against me. Had I -been ready to marry at that moment, I -would have made that girl toy wife at leait a dirbeu times. But my, duration, for just as thetlatheir was AA to make pruperations to depart froui hie home, in stepped four Rebel 'ioldiers, un der the command of a Corporal. Well, sir, we have• called for you," said the Corporal, "and I don't think we came. -any too 'soon and he suatohed the Star-Spangled Banner from the shoulders of the man, and threw it on the foor, and stamped upon it. " That is the way we will set our heels upon the Yankee inva ders." how my blood foamed; it didn't 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 snafched up the flag and flaunted it in his lace. COUNTRY COZ "As under its folds tyranny was driven from the land, so shall traitors be driven out or hung; and if I were a man I would punish you for the insult you of fered this dear flag of mine." "I didn't come here to fight the wo men," said the Corporalloggesby "Come Mr. Davis, you've been drafted, and must go along to the army." "I will not fight against my will," cx• claimed the man, exhibiting some signs of resistance. The rebels sprang forward and caught Davis, but being a strong man, he hurled them from hint. Again they set upon him. I could stand it no longer, I rushed to the door screaming : "Come on boys : we have them now I dashed into the heuse,,and just at that moment down went one of the rebels, leveled to the floor by 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, returne&to the com bat. Davis was spell bound,, and could afford asisstance. The .CAght._ was un equal, and I was overpoWeralil and taken prisoner. Davis and myself were,marched off to the enemy'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 Fairfax Court House. What had become of Davis I knew not, and what would become of me I cared not, now that.' had lost the bravo girl I had learned to - love. ' The clay had past 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 no more attention to,'. me than was absolutely necessary.. While lost in happy . thOUghts of home and Jen ny, I heard a rustling-noise beside me, and a delicate hand was laid on my arm. 'fFollow me, quickly, and ill save — sha — viliispered ear, placed her hand over my, mend'. . , She then withdrew, and I, snakelike Crawled out of the tent after , her.

Jenny then placed a musket in my hands, and 1 could see by the dim light that her rather was provided with one, and she carried oue, though I must confess rather awkwardly. I was all curi osity and anxious to know how she, the little frail creature, could accomplish so much. "I am afraid we'll have to fight the pickets, said her father; "hut its life or death, and if we can scare them we are safe " In perfect silence we approaChed the locality of the picket guard and thought we had .eluded their vigilance, when a quick and frightened challenge burst upon us. This was followed almost in stantly by a flash, and a bullet whizzed close to my head. "Charge on them, boys," shouted Da vis, as lie fired, and quickly went a bullet i❑ the direction of 'the rebel picket. saw Jenny's musket come *ter shoulder, and as it was discharged she reeled and would have fallen to the ground, but I caught her, and in a moment she re covered from the shock. iVe heard the enemy's pickets retreat rn la rm; , - maki no•-t tre • 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 the constant work and energy of a brave and earnest girl, whose patriotic heart would not forsake her honored and beloved v - ern 'II en t, and whose determination res cued her father from the hand of the op pressor.

Ile seized the opportunity when a heavy shell was about to be tired from a morter of one of the Rhode Island batter ies, and seated himself astride the muz zle. These large shells move very slow ly. As-the ponderous- projectile exuded 7lom the enormous engine, the officer asped his knees around it, and with his swoltd,in one hand and revolver in the other, sailed, triumphant and trans figured, over into the midst of the enemy, cheering and swearing alternately. The effect was magical. The shell struck among a cavalry com pany. The gallant officer assailed a hun dred foes, and in a moment had surround ed himself with such a barricade of dead horses and riders that the explosion of the missile harmed him The troops who witnessed this feat were at once ablaze with enthusiasm. They charged like devils, and captured the rebel works at the point of death. The officer who did this should be re warded by a nation's gratitude,. He de serves all praise and glory, and ought to receive the highest position in the gift of the American people. Pers'orral - modesty alone prevents me from mentioning his name. One of my stuff officers, a young lieu tenant of Light Quadroons, was led his impetuosity into the enemy's stronghold, and found himself surrounded by a regi ment of Mississippi Ripsnorters. I im mediately rode Alrward, under a perfect storm, of shot and Shell, and raising my self in thy - stirrups, made faces at the foe. iliey — dropped their arms and fled. The lieutenant and I remained un injured, laden with scalps and trophies. I captured several handsome flugs.— One is a large silk banner, with the fol lowing characteristic inscription, in white letters, on a white ground : "STRIKE FOR SOU'TLIERN & OLMITEY TRUTH." Another, which I took with my own hands, after wringing the color sergeant's neck, is the- guidon of a company called Col. Apple's Sharpshooter's. " A PITTS SOUND IN THE CORES." " Cause" is doubtless ,the word intended; utl. observe that Southern orthography is peculiar. One troop of the Rebel horse is report .ed to have carried a black color,. but 1 think this is an error.

TAXATION IN FRANCE. The ingenu ity of France, in finding subjects for tax ation, is recommended to us for imitation. Lt is proposed to levy, ifi Paris, an annual tax upon carriages, of four wheels, of fifty francs; upon those of two wheels, thirty francs; and twenty-five francs upon each saddle and carriage horse; and in Abe country this tax is to be reduced to forty, twenty-five and twenty. It is said there are P 2,000 carriages in Paris, and that through the country the estimate whiel‘ ill. Fould mattes of the result of this ivapost of 5,500,000 francs would be surpassed Dogs are taxed now at the rate•of-ten - francs - per annum; and it is said to be the intention of the Govern ment to levy a tax upon cats. Among other projects of increasing the revenue is also said to he one fora tax of aten time a hundred upon matches, which it is estimated would yield half a million of dollars a year.

T II E GREAT BATTLES OF MODERN TIMES.—Froru a comparison of the great battle of l'ittsburg, which was fought on Sunday and Mo❑day, the 6th and 7th of April inst., it will be seen that with the exception of Jena, Friedland, Wagram, and Waterloo, the struggle is the great est in the list, looking to the numbers en gaged. At Wagram, the French lost 23,000 arid the Austrian's 38,000 ; and at Waterloo the losses of the French was 33,000 while those of the Allies amount ed to 29,000. The entire loss at Wagram was 61.000, and at Waterloo 62,500. Next to these rank the battle: of Jona, 47,000; E',lau, betweon the French and Russians, 43,000; and Austerlitz, 42,- 000. The loss on both sides at Pittsburg was probably between 10,000 and 12,000. Dean Ramsey tells us of a Scotchman whose tender toe was trodden on : the offender said, "I'm very sorry, sir; I beg your pardon ;" and the only acknowledg ment was "And you've as muckle need sir." To our mind there was-n some sur liness and not much huMor in this.

I need not remindyour renders of the trying circumstances under which that inauguration took place. That Mr. Lincoln bore 'ihimself with modesty and dignity while passing throligh that ordeal is a matter of history. To say that beyond small circle of personal friends, he received in Washington anything more than a cold ad mission of his official position, Would be to say that which is not true. But from thti4tit of March, 18tH, to the present day, President Lincoln has without interruption advanced In public esteem, confidence and admiration.— Here he is commended warmly by men who as much as ever are his political opponents.--. And what is bettor still, he is universally re garded as the main pillar in the Government. The contrast between him and his predecessor in, the Presidential office is so marked that It doubtless has heightened the admiration of Mr. Lincoln felt by all classes hero, for no people have a greater contempt for a weak ex ecutive and administrative head thou LittSpee plo of the United States. And this feeling is naturally strongest at the seat of Government. But, as I have said, no such f eelingiti en tertained towards President Lincoln. Nor is there the same kind of admiration of him that was entertained towards President Jackson. Mr. Lincoln possesses much of Andrew Jack son's inherent firmness of purpose, and all of his patriotic rectitude of principle. But ho has also a natural love of moderation and; genuine—let me use an expressive word
