THE• DAY WE LIVE IN.
We are living, we are dwelling
In a grand• and awful time—
In an age on nes teithi ;
To be living is sublime.
Will ye play, then ? Rill yo daily
With your music and your wine ?
Up ! It is Jehovah's rallyl
God's own arm hath need of thine I
Worth are charging, Heaven beholding,
Thou haat but hotir to. fight;
NOw the blazoned Crew unfolding,
On, right onward, for the right I
On let all the soul wiaun you
. For the Troth's Salo go Abrold
Strike! let every, nerve and sinew
- Tell on - sges,"tell far God!
We that in the beginning of the action,
I and my enemy: Richard Withers—be
a rebel, I a federalist, he on foot, I
mounted. It' xi:letters_ net why I hated
him with the fiercest wrath of my nature.
"The heart knoweth its own bitterness,"
and the details; while most painful tome,
would be of trifling interest to you. Suf
fice it that or.r feud was not a political
one. - For ten years we were the closest
friends that the same studies, the same
tastes and the same aims could make us
I was the elder of the two and the stron
ger, physically ; comparatively friendless,
as the world takes it, and had no near
relatives. Young, solitary, and visionary
as we were, it is hard to make you under
stand what we were to each other. Up
to the period of eni: estrangement, work
ing together, eating together, sleeping
together, t can safely say that we had
not a jay or grief, not a pleasure or vexa
tion that we did net share with an almost
boyish siogle heartedness. One day
Ohanged all. We arose in the morning
dear friends•—we lay down at night, bit
ter enemies. I was a man of extremes
—I either loved or hated with the whole
strength of aiy.beart. The past was for
gotten in the present. The ten years of
kindness, of congeniality, of almost wo
manly tendernes.t, ware erased, as with a
sponge. We looked each ether in the
faee with angry and searching eyes—said
but very few words . (our rage was too
deep to be demonstrative) anewe parted.
Then, in my solitude, I dashed my
clenched band upon the Bible and vowed,
passionately :
"I may wait ten years, Richard With
ers ! I may wait, twenty, thirty, if yon
will, but, sooner or later, I swear I will
have my revenge !"
And , this was the Ivey we mat.
I wonder if he thought of that day
when he laid his baud on my bridle-rein
and looked up at me with his tieacherous
blue eyes. I scarcely think he did, or he
could not have.given me that look. He
was beautiful as a girl,—indeed, the con•
tract of his fair, aristocratic face, to my
own rough. dark exterior, might have
been partly the secret of my former at
traction to him. But the loveliness of
an an g el , had it been his, would n)t have
saved himfrom me then. There was a
pistol in his hand, but before be had time
to discharge it, I cut at him with my
sword and as the him swept on like a
gathering wave, I -aw him stagger under
the blow, throw up his anus, and go down
in the press Bitterly as I hated him,
the vision of his ghastly face haunted me
the long day through.
You all remember how it was at Fred
ericksburg—bow we crossed the river at
the wrong point, and under tilat raking
fire of the enemy, were so disastrously
repulsed
It was a sad mistake and fatal to many
a brave. heath .When night fell, I lay
upon the field among the dead and wound
ed I was comparatively helpless. A
ball bad shiveied the cap of my right
knee and my shoulder was laid open by a
sabre cut. The latter bled profusely,
but by dint of- knotting my handker
chief tightly around it, 'I nmnaged to
staunch it in a measure For my knee I
colld-do nothing. Consciousness did not I
forsake mean& the pain was intense; but
from the moans and wails about me, I
judged that others had fared worse than
I. Poor fellows 1 there was many a moth
,r's darling suffering there—many of my
comrades, lads of eighteen and twenty,
who had never been a night from home
until they joined the army ; spoiled pets
of fortune, manly enough at heart, but
children in years and constitution, who
had beets
_used: to_ have every little ache
and scratch compassioned with an almost'
extravagant sympathy—there they .ay,
-crippled, gashed and bleeding, crushed
and dying,huddled-together--some where
they had weakly crawled upon th - eir hands
and knees—never a woman's touch to
bind up their won ads, or a woman's voice
to whisper gentle consolation.
It was :pitch. dark
,and a cold, misers
ble rain was falling upon us. The very
heavens weeping over our miseries. Then

MY REVENGE.
COUDERSPORT, • POTTER COUNTY, PA., Ii;rEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 186 i,
"'Water ! water I water 1. I am dying
with thirst—if it be but a mouthful—
water 1 For God's sake, oh give j me
water 1"
I recoiled in. dismay. It was the
of my enemy, the voice of Richard; With
era. They were once very dear r to me,
those mellow tones Once the pleasantest
music I wished.to hear. Do you think
they softened- me now T Yon are mis
taken. I au, candid about it. My blaod
(what I had left) boiled in my veins when
I heard him ; when I knew he lay so
close to me, and I, powerless to withdraw
from his detested neighborheod.' There
was water in my , canteen—l had filled.ii i i
before the last ball wee. 'By stretching]
out my hand I could have given him to
drink but I did not raise my finger. Yen
geance was sweet. I smiled grimly to o3+-
self and said down in my secret ,heart
"Not a drill) shall pass his lips though he
perish. I shall have my revenge." .
Do not recoil with horror ! Listen how
merciful God was to me.
There was a poor little drummer on!the
other side, a merry, manly boy of
thir
teen, the pet and plaything of the regi
went. There was something of the Ger
man in him. He had been with us from
the first, and was considered one 'of the
ablest drummers in thearmy. We would
never march to the tap of Charley's drum
again. Be had got a ball in his lungs ;
and the exposure and fatigue, together
with his wound, had made him light
headed. Poor little child !be crept close
to me in the darkness and laid his cheek
upon my breast. Maybe he thought it
was his own pillow ' at home, maybe he
thought it his own mother's bosom. God
alone knows what he thought; but with ,
his hot arms about thy neckand his curly
head close to my wicked heart, even then
swelling with the bitter hatred of my en
emy, he began in his delirium to murmur,'
"Our father who art in Heaven."
I was a rough bearded man. I had
been an orphan for many a long year;
but not too many or too long to forget the
simple hearted prayer of my childhodd—
the dim vision of that mother,s faCe, over
which the grass had — grown for twenty
changing summers.-. Something tender
I I stirred within my hardened heart. It
was too dark to see the little face; but the
young laps went on brokenly—
" And
forgive us our trespassed as we
forgive those who trespass against Ins."
It went through me like a knife--
sharper than a sabre cut, deeper than the
ball. God was merciful unto me and
this young child was the channei, of his
mercy. --,
"Forgive ns our trespasses as we for
give those who trespass against tirC
I had never understood the words be-
fore. If an angel had uttered them, it
could scarcely have been • more of ;a rove
lation. For the first time, the thought
that I might be mortally wounded, that
death might be nearer than I dreamed,
struck me with awe and horror. T e text
of a long forgotten sermon was in my
ears; "It is appointed unto inen once to
die; and after thill the judgment?"
Worse and worse. What measure of
mercy could I expect, if the same was to
be meted that I had meted to my enemy.
The tear; welled into my eye , ' and
trickled down Inv cheeks; the first; I had
shed since my boyhood. I felt subdued
and strangely moved.
The rain was falling still; but the lit
tle head upon my breast was gone. He
had crept away silentl:. into the darkness.
His unconscious mission was performed ;
he did not return at my call Then I
lifted myself with great effort. The old
bitterness was ortuthed, but not altogeth
er gone

dragged myself close to him.
"God be praised !" I said with a fole 13
heart. "Dick, old buy, enemy no logger
Ged be praised I lam able and willing
to help yon Drink and be fiends."
It bad been growing lighter and lighter
in the east, and now it was day day
within and day without. In the first
gray glimmer of drawn, we• looked into
each other's ghastly faces for a moment.
the canteen was at
: Richard's mouth and
he drank as the fevered only can drink
I watched him with moist eyes. leaning
upon my elbOw—forgetting my bandaged
shoulder.
He grasped we with both hands
Blood-stained and pallid as it was, his
face was as beautiful as a child's.
-Now let me speak," he said panting
You liave misjudged we, Rufus • It was
all a mistake. I meant to have 'spoke

'•For=ire me, Dick." I murmured. I
felt something, warm trickle dawn my
shoulder. I tainted and fell ; then all
was thick darkness.
* * * * *
I opened my eyes. Where was I ?
How odd everything was. Rots of beds
stretching down a long narrow hall,bright
with sunshine ; and women, wearing
white caps and peitiliar dresses, flitting
to and fro with a noiseless activity,which,
in my t ifearful sickness, it tired me to
watch. • illy hand lay outside of the coe:-

had become of my flesh ? Was I a child

and frail did I feel, I began to think I

had been subjected to some refiring pro.
cess, and was now awakened to a new ex.
istence. But did they have beds in the
other world ? was looking lazily at the
opposite one when some one took me by
the hand. A face was bending over me.
I looked up into it, with a bracing heart.
The golden sunshihe was on it—on the
fair, regular features, the red lips, and
the kindly blue eyes -
"Dick ri I gasped, "where have you
bean all these years ?" .
"Weeks, you mean," said Richard,with
the old erode. "But' never mind now.
You are better, now, dear Rufus—you
will live, dear—we shall be happy to
gether
. again."
"Where am ?" I , asked; still hazy
"What is the matter with me ?"

voice
"Hospital, in the first place,". said
Richard. "Typhus, in the second. Yon
were taken after that night at Freder
icksburg."
It broke upon me at once. I remem
bered that awful night—l could never,
never forget it again Weak as a child,
I covered my face with. my hands and
burst. into tears. Richard was on hit,
knees by my side at once.
"I was a brute to recall it," he whis
pered, remorsefully ; •'do not think of it,
old boy—you must not' excite yourself.
It is all forgotten and forgiven."
"Forgive us our trespasses as we for
give those who Inspass against us !" I
prayed from my inmost heart.
"These words have been in your mouth
night and day, ever since- you were
taken," said my friend.
I_ lay silent, cogitating.
"Tell me•one thing, Dick ," I asked ;
"are we in the North or South I"
"North—in Philadelphia."
"Then you :are a 'prisoner." I said
mournfully, recalling his principles.
"Not ,a bit of it."
"What do you mean 7"
Richard laughed.
"I hive seen the error of my ways. I
hale taken the oath of allegiance. When
you are strong enough again; we shall
fight side by side."
"And 'the wound in your head 1 1 " I
asked with emotion, looking up at his
bright handsome face.
"Don't mention it It healed up long
ago."
"And the little drummei?"
Richard_bowed his bead upon my band.
"He was found dead upon the field."
"Heaven bless him ! They say he
died praying, with his mother's name
upon his lips."
"Revere him as an angel 1" I wh'is•
pered, grasping him by the hand. .'But
for his dying prayer, we bad yet -been
enemies Oh. Richard. God's grace is
with the simple and pure of heart."
SAMBO SUMMARILY DISML,SED --A
letter from Murfreesboro, giving an ac
count of Gen: Reynolds' recent expedi
tion to Lebanon, contains the following:
An amusing incident occurred to day.
The army mine to the premise) ofan ac
tive, wealthy, influential, bitter old rebel
—one who had mada'bimself very busy
in prrcuring volunteers for the, rebel army,
and particularly obnoxious to his Union
neighbors by assisting the rebel agents to
hurt down conscripts. He looked rather
astonished when our advance cavalry was
followed off by his horses. The Quarter
master came next with his unites and the
contentii of his corncribs. When the
Commissary marched by in charge of the
gentleman's extra fat cattle, "Secesh," in
great alarm, wanted, to know if we were
not going to pay for his "gocds." "We
are not, paying money, at present. to any
one," blandly replied the Quartermaster
"Well; but you will give rr e a receipt for
them ?" -Certainly sir, here are your
vouchers already made out." "Seeesh"
read them, apparently well pleased, until
he came to the inexorable words. "to:be
paid at the close of the war upon proof of
loyalty." —Weil, if that is the case,"
said he, "they may f_rn to the d-1;" and
turning to a couple. of his darkies, who
were looking on with open mouths, he
administered to them a few vigorous
kicks, a posterionl, exclaiming, "d—n
you. you go too !"
