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

the dark tor there was a hole in the dimr,
and girls will peep, and the way I fum
bled about was death to straw hats.
The-moment came . ; I opened the io,or
and found myself right among the women.

'• Jack," said she, "we are sorry to dis

"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

door, when down 1 went ker-slap on the
oil-cloth, pulling Sal after

the floor and floored me. It split anaw

we nnirched in and were splicel. Taking

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

- VAN TY FAIR'S ACCOUNT OF TUE
LI A T'r lA'. of Bait N. —A t a moment
of indecision when it requilred but anoth

fore a battery on the right, as a vigorous
example to encourage them to advanee
and take the battery, an officer of high
position and undaunted bravery resolved"
to saergee if nec2ssa7, ilk order
to set the soldiers an .exaMple.
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.

I captured several handsome flugs.—

NO THANKS TO YOU
[The following versos are respeCtfully ded
icated to the friends of Breckinridge, whose
tender feelings are hurt when anything is
said against rebels or rebel sympathisers ]
'Twill be no thanks to you, good air!
'Twill ha no thanks to you,
When our troops come marching horns from war,
The Red. the White tho Blue
Still floating o'er them like a cloud
Of glory as they come:
While ,r nation's blessings, long and loud,
Shall shout their welcome home!
Oh! then, 'twill b. no thanks to you!
You frowned upon their toll:
At best, 'twos folly in your slow—
Until you saw the spoil.
You sighed and looked amazing wino
At justice's long delay ; •
And talked about a "Cournomnts."
To keep the bounds at bay.
Oh! yes, 'twill be no thanks to you I
You never spoke one word
Whore heart and hand and all were due
That I have ever hoard—
One cheering word of sympathy,
Ono patriotic prayer—
One word of faith and hope, to be
A chartn against despair.
Yet you shall reap what they have sowed,
A en - noisy sludl be yours; -
For heroes blood In streams that flowed,
A richness that endures,
Go, eat the cm, and drink tho sweet
Bought by the bravo and truo
And yet remember as you oat,

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.

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

A correspondent of the New York COmmor
cial, writing from Washington, pays a just.
compliment to President Lincoln in the fol:
lowing paragraphs:
I was present at the Federal Capital when
Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated President
of the United States. 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 <in
combination—born-kindness of heart that na
ture did not bestow upon the hero of Now Or
leans. And yet I believe that hie positive in
fluence in the Cabinet, upon leading men here
ant in Congress, is greater than any Presi
dent-, since Washington, ever 'acquired in the
first thirteen months of his administration.--.
And this, too, in spite of the unparalleled dis
advantages of the administration of 'the Fed
eral Government.. Every one speaks in un
qualified admiration of his honesty—never,
perhaps, was that- virtue in Mr. Lincoln so
universally admitted as it is to-day—his cau
tion and inuihiration, his kindness of dispoei•
tion, and his resolution to do right at whatev
er cost to himself.

The Country Press Vs City Dallies and
A great many persons are under the erro
neous impression that the news contained in
the city dailies and weeklies is of a more reliable
character than that given by the weekly press
throughout the country. This is a most false
and unfounded idea, as the case is exactly the
reverse. The Daily papers publish, without
any inquiry into its truth, all the news that,
comes to hand either by telegraph, correspon
dence or from private sources, and when any
thing of importance transpires it usually re
quires about one week, it not longer, to as
certain the true state of affairs.
The city Weekly is always compiled from
the matter used in the colums of the Daily, 80
that the reader is compelled to wade through
a vast array of mis-statements, contradictions
and different reports in' order to get at the
truth, being frequently left as much in the
dark as he was when he began. With the
weekly papers of the country the case is en
tirely different. It is their special object to
lay before their readers only the news of the
week, and the editor having leisure to exam
ine into the truth of such news, and to cull
only such as is true they can generally be re•
liod upon. Vary recently the accounts of the
bAttle at Somerset and the Burnside ilxpedi-
NA have furnished apt illustrations of this
141. The first accounts were notoriously ex•
aggerated in both these instances, and the
true.account of affairs was not obtained until
nearly a week after the events had occurred.
The country papers,.by their system were
enabled to give the truth, while the City pa
pers contained such garbled and confused no
counts, that it required some days of time
and a great exercise of patience before any
truth could be extracted from them.
For reliable news the iVeekly press of the
country is by for the most trustworthy, and
,hould be encouraged and supported by all
who desire to be posted in regard to events
as they really transpire.— York I?epublican.
