Lord Lovell ho sat. In St. Charles' Hotel,

As over you'd wish to see—see—see,
As over you'd wish to coo.
Lord Lovell the town bad vowed to defend,
A waving his sword on high,
lie swore that his last ounce of powder he'd spend
And In the last ditch he'd dld.
Ito sworn by black and swore by blue,
Ile sworn by the stars and bars.
That flavor bed tly from the Yankoo crew,
Wldlo he was the eon of Mars.
Ife had fifty thousand gallant man,
Fifty tbeusand, gallant men had ha,
Who had all sworn with him that they'd.naeor surran
Der to any tarnatfon Yankoo.
Ile had forts that no Yankees alive could take,
Ile had Iron clad boats a score,
And hitterles all around the Lake
Aud along the river shore.

Then heard a distant cannon and then
Commenced a cutting their sticks.

Oh !a wonder it was to see them run,
A wonderful thing to see,
And the Yankees sailed up without shooting a gun,
And captured their great dile.

For he swore he couldn't abide the sight,
Of the guu of a live Yankee
When Lord Lovell's life was hrongbt to a close
By n sharp sholting-Yankee gunner,

The Parson's Midnight Ride

as a slur ON my clerical friends, bi,t only
to show that accidents wiil happen to
both good and bad
It was near the end of the college year
and the boys were getting somewhat res
tive as the time of vacation drew near.
Everything W 11,9 dull, awfully so, and the
boys waited impatiently fOr their annual
deliverance from the thraldom of college
life, and longed to be out of reach of the
sound, of what was to too many of us,
the ill-omened recitation bell.
One night three of us were gathered
together in my room, reveling in the be
fogging delights of ale, and short stemm
ed, well begrimed "thulheens" and think
ing of the good times we \ would have at
home, how many times we should fail next
day-and divers other subjects agreeable and
otherwise. We had been quiet for some
time, when Sam F—suddenly broke
in upon our meditations by exclaiming:
" I have it boys! Let's have some
fun to night."
Every fellow's ears were, cocked in an
instant.
'• Well, what is it?" said T—, my
chum.
" Let us get old Parson K-- 2 13 horse,
tie a tin pan to his tail, put an effigy of
the old gentleman on his back, start him
down through the town, and frighten the
whole population out of a year's growth."
" But how will you get into the sta
ble ?"
" soon fix that," said Sam, and go•
ing to his room, he returned with a short
iron bar, technically called a "jemmy"
and a dark lantern. We disguised our
selvel so that our sweethearts would not
have known us, and, having prepared the
effigy and lighted the lantern, took up
our line of march for the Parson's stable.
The procession moved in the following
order:—
First—Sam, bearing the "jemmy" and
dark lantern. Second—my chum, with
the effigy thrown over his shoulders,.
after the manner in which the farnTers
were formerly supposed to carry their
pigs to market. And lastly, mytelf, bear
ing two ancient and dilapidated coffee
pots, wherewith to; decorate the caudal
appendage of the Parson's Rozinante and
Accelerate his speed.
We soon arrived at the. stable,
which was situated at the upper end of
the town, just in rear of his residence,
and with the aid of the "jemmy" opened
the door,. and putting the bridle on the
old grey, led .him out in the rear of a
cornEeld belonging to- the Parson. We
then proceeded to attach the coffee pots
to his tail and were about to put the effigy
do his.back, when we were suddenly dis•
turbed ,by the , appearance of a figure,
dressed in white, making its way rapidly
towards us.
"Look out, boys, here he comes," cried
Sam,- and law ay • he- bolted; 'followed by

and as the ground was wet from a recent
-raincand--not-noticing-the- coffeerpotsi--tm
account of the darkness, he mounted with
the intention of riding to the stable. The
horse started and the coffee pots, strik
ing his heels, frightened him and away
he went at a speed tliat_would have
shamed one of Bald wba's best locomotives
Down through the Main street of the
town he went, followed by all the dogs in
the neighborhood, reminding me forcibly
of John Gilpin's ride.
"Away went 01Ipin nook or naught,
Away wont hat and wig

clerical gentleman about fifty yeat's of age„

a town, followed by about two dozen dogs

Rattle! rattle ! bang ! bang i bow wow
wow ! Up went windows, and out came
divers night-capped heads of the good
people of the town, wondering what dev
il's game was to pay at that time of
night. Oh ! how he went ! "Tam
O'Shanter's" ride was not a circumstance
to it.
How far he rode I never knew, but
some of the mark, t people said they saw
a gentleman about half dressed and cov•
ered with mud, making. his appearance,.
about five o'clock in the morning and
wending his weary way towards the Par
son's residence.
We kept our secret, and every time
we met fur sonic years afterwards we
would ask each other,—who stole the
Parson's horse ?

Herrmann, the magician, have no doubt
been constrained to believe that much
which is thus written is more funny than
reality. If, however, they could have
witnessed his performance in the Lexing

have been removed, and they would have
considered that nothing was impossible
with the master of the magic art. Ac
companied by a number of gentlemen
connected with the press of that city, to
gether with several of his personal friends,
M. Herrmann yesterday morning paid a
visit to the Lexington market. tin en

then remagked:
"What is the price of eggs, this, morn
ing ?"
"Fifteen cents a dozen. Fresh.
"1 want a dozen, end will pay you your
price, with this understanding: I desire
to break them, and whether 1 or you do
it, whatever they contain belongs to me."
"Bless your heart certainly. Sure I
don't want their contents."
Herrmann took an egg from the basket
and broke it. Ile poured the yolk out,
and in the shell were four two-and-half
gold pieces. At the sight of the glitter
mg metal the old lady's eyes diluted, she
twitched her nose, Icoked at the crowd
who were gathering around her stall, put
the index finger of her right band in her
mouth and with a look of amazement, she
exclaimed ;
"My conscience!"
"Valuable eggs, madam," said Herr
mann. "Will you please break this one
for me?" handing her one.
She took it, at the same time staring
Herrmann in the face, and nervously
broke it. It was as rich as the first; tour
gold quarters were lying in the shell,
She involuntarily closed her hand, when
the magician remarked :
"Stay, madam; what the eggs contain
belongs to me;" and as she handed him
the money, he asked :
"What will you take for all you have ?"
A feMale in the crowd, who occupied
an adjacent stall, cried out, "Don't sell
another one. You've as much right to
the gold that's in them as any person
else."
"They're not for sale, sir, she replied.
The crowd Which had gathered around
the magician now numbered hundreds.
Herrmann broke another egg, and the
gold was there ; and alternately the wo
man and he broke eggs, until a dozen
were destroyed and each one contained
ten dollars in gold. The crowd bad
gained such proportions, and were so ea
ger to witness the scene, that ho was
compelled to leave. The throng could
not be stood off, however. They pressed
around him, and wherever he-went hun•
dregs followed hits. Ho was Nilo ob=

the greatest difficulty that ho could move
through the market. Fifteen minutes
were Spent

Paused in tront of a coop of chielteria:
Instantly the crowd pressed around him,
And with. such eagerness that it was .al
most impossible for.bim to

purchasers carelessly dropped their bas

knees and crawled through the _dense

thus fora moment, when ho-picked it up
-and-remarked-t h at-be-believed-- he-ivould
put it on again. There waS, a rub or two
of the neck, a quick shake, and he pitched
the fowl on the stall alive. The market
woman instantly caught it, and taAing
hold of its head endeavored + to pull it off,
but it wis no go, Herrmann had fixed it
on too fast. An expression of the utmost
astonishment settled on her face, and she
gazed at Herrmann with, bewildering
wonder. ThQ crowd cheered and Herr
mann folind it almost impossible to extri
cate hiniself from his pressed position.
At this juncture a policeman came up
and requested him to leave 'the market,
as the•excitement had become so great
and was every moment on the increase, it
was seriously interfering with the mar
ket. 113 was glad to get away, and hur
riedly passed towards Baltimore street,
the crowd still following him.

A member of the press offered to buy the
chicken whose head bad been torn off but
the woman refused to sell it, although a
dollar was offered for it, remarking that
she would 'carry it home and allow it to
die of old age. The egg woman found
no difficulty in disposing of her stock.
People flocked around her stall and pur
chased her eggs, anticipating that each
one would prove a placer. The perform
ance of yesterday morning is convincing
evidence that there is but one magician—
and he is Llerrahlann.

Now let us see who Fair Alice is. It
was of her that this was said " Behold,
thou art all fair, my love ; there is no
spot in thee." This is the fair Alice, this
is the flower, this is the lily of whom it
was spoken. " Like a lily among thorns,
so is may love among the daughters."—
She is called by this name Alice from a,
that is, w dand, a ria his, strife ;as it
were, without strife, witilout reproach,
without early dross. She is the queen of
justice, she is the mother of meffy• It
is said.
Fair Allen ma° up In the morning,
her body she clothed and adorned
And it is said in scripture, " Make
ready thy chamber, oh daughter of Zion !"
Do you not know now who fair Alice is?
She is the blessed Virgin Mary, who
made ready her chamber when she, con
ceived the King and Lord of Heaven.—
Then,
Into a garden ehe entered
And of her it has been said,.," She is
a virgin, a rod, and a shrub." A virgin,
whence we have, " Behold a virgin shall
conceive and bear a son." A rod, " There
shall come forth a' a
rod `ut of stein of
Jesse." A shrub, the fruit of which
was announced when the angel said,
" Blessed art thou among women, and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb." Then,
Ely° litll4 flowers she:found
Fair Alice found on that shrub five
flowers, which aro neither burnt by fire,
nor parched by heat, nor crushed by
storms. What are these flowers? They
arc faith, hope, charity, chastity, and' hu
manity. Whoever wears these flowers
has better thama„ciown of precious stones..
Again,
There, too, of roses the fairest,
kchaplot she made.
Py the chaplet we must understand the
golden crown which God placed upon her
heaq when ho crowned • her Queen of

"Now all ye who love me nqt,!leave me
In Uod'e name," sho said.
To whom is this said ? =To heretics,
pagans and false Christians, who believe

blaspheme, Him. To them it. is said,
" All ye who love me not,ieavo me ;" that
is, " Depart, ye cursed, into everlasting
fire, prepared for the devil and his. an
gels.'
From what has been said observe 'dud
this fair Alice, of whom you vainly sing
and of * * bon) we have been preaching,
is none other than the mother of justice,
the queen of mercy, who brought forth
the King and L'ord of Heaven, who, with

ARMAGEDDON SOFTENTNO
"Armageddon Baldwin is a poetic, vis

tion something like this was put up;

A SECESSIONIST YOUNG WOMAN AND A
ME319221
Another letter writer at Nashville tells
this anecdote;
"The Sixty-ninth Illinois regiment
after marching in column through the
principal streets of Nashville, cheering
for the Union come to a halt and in line
of battle in front of the St. Cloud Hotel
where Governor Andy Johnson was slop
ping; and offered three cheers for the
"Union, the constition and the enforce
went of the laws,' whereupon Governor
Andy Johnson appeared, hat in hand,
and made a very little war speech.
While these things wore going on a pret
ty young. lady, expensively and tastily
dresses, proMenading the streets, was put
tb the inconvenience of having. to pass
round the right wing,.of the battalion.
which blocked up two streets. As she

nose( as is their custom) at a manly, sol

"The corporal promptly stepped out
ranks, caused three soldiers to do the
same, and invited the young lady to pass
through the interval. She accepted the
invitation ; but in passing through the
lines gave the corporal a "withering
glance," as Reynolds would Wave it, and
said to him, 'you- had better all of you
go home.' Oh no' answered the corpo
ral, 'we like your country, your climate
your people: Our people, the young
lady exclaimed, sucking in a good sup
ply of breath, 'are, you not ashamed to

drive them away,'said the corporal, 'if
they will only have any sense—we don't

cmcnit.kt, TERRY AND THE REBEL COLO-
NEL OLNISTI4A
Major Gardiner, of the Seventh Conn
e!..tirmt regiment, now at home on leave,
tells a characteristic story of .General
Terry, the late colonel of his regiment.
After Fort Pulaski had been placed
in General Terry's charge, and as it, re,
bel commander, Cchoncl Olmstead, was
about to be sent North as a prisoner of
war, General Terry, appreciating the em
barrassments to which he might be sub
jected, turd him that as it was not proba
ble that he was supplied with current
money, and as confeduate money was
vaidless except as a curiosity, he desired
that he would accept of a sum that might
tree him from temporary inconvenience,
and presented him with fifty dollars in
good money. The offer was greatfully
accepted, of course, with suitable ac
knowledgements of the generosity which
prompted it. How strikingly the act
contrasts with the development of rebel
ruffianism toward Union-men, as shown
in Senator Wade's report.
"MILITARY NECESSITY
A knot of Newspaper correspondents in
the Department of the Rappahannock ,
lately took formal possession of certain re-!
bel premises, and adopted the following'
declatory resolution ;
"Resolved, That the house belonged
to the federal government, by rea
son of its owner's secession and abandon
ment, and not to the officers who occupied
it. That we were equally children of
Uncle SIM, and that inasmuch as Uncle
Sam has repudiated pritnbgeniture from
his first start out in life all his chil
dren were entitled to share alike at pres
ent and in prospective, and that the house
was ours to use as, much as the officers.
That we, therefore, should take possession
of any unoccupied portion of it. That
the dining room was unoccupied for the
Light, and that there wo should take up
our lodgings.
" 2. • Resolved, Of all the appliances
of comfort that we could find,unappropri

wood, enough to keep a roaring fire all
night, to warm our feet by.
"3 Resolved, Of everything to eat,
ditto; provided that we could get cook's,

over the matter in him, derive . from his
skill and labor in making it eatable.
" 4., Resolved, That we do all these
things, as a military necessity, and in strict
conformity to, and most devoted regard
for the constitution of the doers.
The aecount adds: . .
"-These resolutions being carried with
out a dissenting ynice in the whole as

quarters."
A crowd assembled, round a map "who
announced that' on the pay meat of a

them a cherrpoolorcd cat which he %-had
in a bag. The money was soon collected,

Curative Effects of Grapes
Dr n, -of-- -141entz r _has--.-published
an interesting account of the curative eff
eats of grapes, in various disorders of the
body.. They act, firstly, by introducing
large quantities of fluids into the system,
which, passing through the blood, carry
by perspiration and other execrations,
the effete and injurious materials of the
body ; secondly as a vegetable nutritive
agent, through the albumeroid of nitro.
genoua and respiratory substance, which
the,.grape contains ; thirdly, as a medi
cine,.at the same time soothing, laxative,
alterative and defarative ; fourthly, by
the alkalies, which diminish the plastici
ty of the blood, and render all more flu
id ; fifthly, by the various mineral ele
ments, such as sulphates, chlorides, phos
phates, &c., which are an analogous and
valuable substitute for mak)? mineral
waters.
Employed rationally and methodically,
aided by suitable diet and regimen, the
grape produces most important changes
in the system, in favoring organic trans
mutations, in contributing healthy mate
rials to the repair and reconstruction of
the various tissues, and in determining
the removal of vitiated matters which
have become useless and injurious to the
system Directed by a skillful physi
cian, this valuable agent can be made to
produce the most varied effects on the
constitution. It also possesses the advan
tage of being.acceptable to most invalids
The treatment lasts from three to six
weeks. The quanity of grapes that may
be consumed varies from one ..to four
pounds a day, conimencin , with small
urradLlly-inercased..
The skins and seeds must not be swal
lowed.
A SHARP ANSWER.—There was a
physician in the neighborhood of Frank
lin, Mass., where Dr. Emmons preached
for seventy-one years, who was corrupting
the minds of men by his Pantheism: The
physician being called to a sick family in
the Franklin parish, met the Franklin.
tninistiir at the house of affliction. It
was no place for a dispute: It was not a
place for an unbecoming familiarity with
the minister. It was no place for a phy
sician to inquire into the age pf the min
ister, especially with any intent of en
tangling him in a debate, and, above all,
where the querist was too visionary for
any logical discussion But the abrupt
question of the pantheist was:
" Mr. Emmons, how old are you?"
" Sixty, sir; and how old are you ?"
came the quick reply. ..
•As 014 PS the creation, sir, was i the
triumphant re-ponse. '.Then you are of
the s..inie age with Adam and Eve ?"
<Wei tainly-1 was i 4 the garden when

third person in the garden with them,

The pantheist did not follow up the
d.seussion.
The destruction of cotton and tobacco
by the rebels o, ill call, to every ones mind
the proverb of "cutting off the nose to
spite the face." The U. S. army pro
tects pr. perry wherever it goes, but the
rebels have got into their sconces the opin
ion that cotton and tobacco are toasters
of the world, awl that the destruction of
these two gre.tt productions of their own
would ruin all creation Their, conduct
brings to mind the anecdote which used
to be told of an incident in the great 'lrish'
rebellion. A banker at Dublin had made
himself very prominent in the government
cause. Of course he was must essentially
bated by the insurgents, and their prog
ress through the country, whenever they
cause across any of his notes of issue—his
" promises to pay"—they brew them in
to the lire and burned them up, with the
exclamation, "We'll ruin the rascal."—
This-is the only antecedent which we cAn
draw from history, for the insane conduct
of the rebels, in destroying their own
property, which no one ever dreamed of
taking from them.
Ono Simeon Hazen, now living in the
town of Sprague, Connecticut at the age
of 93 years, has lived in three different
towns without removing from his home,
Sprague having formerly been known as
Norwhich and Franklin ; and he also lived
under three Governments—the monarchy
of George the Third, then under the Con
federvy, and under the Government of
the United States. He has seen four
wars, and was drafted at New. London in
.the war of 1812, and had a son in the
same company, and one in the Mexican
war, and the present one.

After the affair was over, and before they
had time to liquor on it, Joe took Bill one !lido
out of ear-shot, and very deliberately remark•

"Look here, Bill, I'll tell you what it iig

. A,fou , weeks after the conversation and
fight aforesaid, Bill and Joe walked down in
to the river bottom, either to hunt up some
title or hogs. or to look for timber stocks.—
Bill had his ride, but Joe was unharmed. Af
ter forcing their way some half a mile or such
a matter, through the thick underbrush, com
posed in part of the red buckeye, with its
brilliant blossoms, they were suddenly star
tled by a low, savage growl,. which sounded
uncomfortably near, and ere they could look
about them, or make any preparation, with a
wild shriek of exulting rage a large female
panther sprang from a limb overhead full
upon the shoulders of Joe.
To twist. himself around and seize the ani
mal by the throat was but the work of an in
stant on the part of the intrepid borderer, and
then commenced a struggle for life or death.
After being stripped to the skin and receiving
some.severe scratches, Joe got his knife is
regnisition and put an end to the panther by
ripping lip her bowels. Meantime Bill had
been looking on, quietly resting on hie rifle,
When the beast'was dead, and Joe had recov

Why, Bill ! why 'the h-Lll didn't you\shoot
