The Guard at Fortrasa Mauro..
BP Lucy H. sooPutz
In the silence of the midnight, when the lamp
was burning low, I
On my brain there dawned a vision of tho cell at
Fort Monroe;
And around its mussy, portals, doubly lock'd and
triply barred,
Swept a train of pallid phantoms, in: The diuk:
,_ness keeping guard! -
And tied I%fnua in horror, " 0 thou dim and
dreadful train,
By what strange unrest art summoned unto Earth
and Life again ?"
then a solemn voice gave answer, "From our
graves, 'neath sod and tide,
We have come to watch his slumbers, through
whose wickedness we died.
"From the far•off fields we reddened with our
blood in fearful rain,
Prom the hiding waves of ocean, now we rise in
Might again; •
From the graves, a welcome refuge from the
- loathsome prison pen, •
dome the dread avenging specters that were
starved and tortured men.
" We died starved ;—hia - fare is dainty—soft-and
snowy is his bed;
Countless nameless graves bear witness we were
low and roughly laid-
But the sleep to, which death lulled us by no trea
son dream was marr'd,
And the angels came from Heaven, and around
our rest kepi guard. _
" Can you marvel that he sleeps not while - we
stand outside - the door? -
That he starts in_quisering anguish at our root
" falls on the door?
Though his priscM'ivails be massive, though his
door be closely bared,
fie beholds us, andte hears us, and he knows
- we!re keeping guard.
" Traitor hearts fatty yet befriend him, traitor
• bands may :et him free.*
He may fly from bate and scoffing, but from us he
cannot flee:
When at last to God in Heaven flies his soul, all
treason-seared,
Round about the Throne Eternal he will find us
keeping guard !"

BOOK' OP JEFF.. -
CHAP. XVIII
Now iteame to paps, that after many
days had gone by, the people marvelled,
and were sorely afflicted in their minds
because - of Jeff; whose trial - from some
pretext,.had been long delayed.
And-they said one to another; " Be
hold Jeff stillliveth, and dwelleth with
his family, and many of his kindred,
- in a strong fortreSs near the chief city
While Wirz, the vile slave, who did
but fulfil the behests- of Jeti; has been
long slain." .
And they wagged their heads, and
looked strangely one at another. Then
spake one — who was bolder than his
fellows, and his-words were after this
wise. "Ye men of Columbia! As my
liveth,-there is a traitor in the
camps; one who dwelleth in high pla
ces.; and inasmuch as our Divine Alas
.tei bade us beware of wolveS in sheep's
clothing," let tit, ever search out this
Juilas, that he betray us not ;" and he
further continued, Men of Columbia,
Doth not Jefflie upon soft conehe,,, and
his slippered -feet tread upon co:-ItIly car
pets, while his meat and wants are the
best the land affords; and are not guards
set roundabout him, that the brave sol
diers, whose brethren Jeff imprisoned,
and put to the sword, take not his life ;
- And do not his friends from rebellion,
visit him as they list, and comfort him
with words of cheer, and with joyful
news, like unto the massacre at New
Orleans; and doth not Andrew, the
chief magistrate, hid that all theie
things be-done..
And lo ! when he had made an end
of speaking, the people groaned in spir
it, and did hang their heads. And they
said. one to another; " Verily these
things are true.. And Andrew conniv
eth with Jeff; and with his compeers."
Nevertheless, they wilt not what to do.
After these things, Andrew said in
his heart,," Lo I am hated of these '
loyal men, because of mY. love for evil
doers,_ and they will never again make I
me their chief magistrate. But behold
the time draweth nigh, when the prov
inces of the land of Columbia shall
vote, choose for themselves chief rulers,
called governors; And if these chief
rulers be not friends - to "my policy," I
am utterly undone, both I and my
friends the Jeffiites. ,

He was of our country's martyrs,
one who responded to her earliest call.
But the chill miasmic swamps of the
Chickahominy brought to his frams
disease. and death.
Five years ago this very month, I
stood beside his death-bed in a military
hospital.
The scene was night ! Almost inter
minable seemed the hours, as the loud
clock tolled their moments one by one,
and breathlessly, agonizingly, I watched
the terrible life-struggle. s oing on before,
me. Youth, with its bright hopes all
undimmed, and its warm heart throb
bine, eagerly, so eagerly, for life, love,
and happiness, striving fiercely with
the conqueror, Death.
Oh ! it was a dreadful conflict, but, ere
long the latter triumphed.
Suddenly rising the dying man said,
"hark ! the bugle calls ; I must go on
picket-guard, to night.
Then, changing in his mood, he called
me to his side reason once again resumed
her throne ; said he 'dear, M. I am going
home ! But my friend goes with me and
I have no fears ! God, is the soldier's
friend. I trust in him".
Just as the gray dawn tinged tha

cold and fluttering heart stilled forever,
and that noble heart had ceased all
earthly aspirations.
We buried hinrist a lonely graveyard,
amid the blue hills of our own Pennsyl

upon her bosom ; Yet, when the autumn
winds wail forth a requiem, sad tears
will fall, though well we know, he is
but one of tens of thousands, who must
be thus mourned ; whose lives were laid
upon their country's altar But wonder
not that October is to me a sacred
month.
SPENCER'S MILLS, OCT. 1866.
The London Thine and The New York
Tribune.
The reputation of the English press is well founded.
Intellect and culture, of no ordinary standard, have
been for more than half a century elements of 2 / 1 3 11/1 3 h
Journalism, which in no country are surf/sated, while
its energy in procuring news is not equaled in Europe.
Of all the English paper. The Times fs unquestionably
the leader, and, therefore, the representative of Europ
ean Journalism, How remarkably that Journalism dlit
fere from the American would be an interesting com-
parison, involving n nice balance ot v advantages, but at
present we merely desire to show, for the entertainment
of the public, how far the value of even The London
Times as n newspaper has been excelled by Tun TOtLIIINI.
A newspaper is not a review nor a.bcok—it to a compen
dium of news and there is no question but that in this
distinctive characteristic the American press is nazi
valed.
Let no take op The Times of September 19, the latest
number received in this city. Its pages are the same
size as those of Tire TRZirNEI its colnnine the * same
length and width; the type about the same size. Ex
elusive of advertisements. The Times - containa 41 col
iimns of reading' matter, of considerable variety, and
much of it well-written. It furnishes less than a col
umn of nlilitary and naval intelligence; five columns
of Reports of 3farkeis, Rai'nay aril Mining shares., Am.

Ira in the ie.th century it devotes three columns, and to
the transactions of the Ethnological Society, three
more; an essay on Food Fisheries in France. theatrical
criticism, a letter Justisying the Jamaica atrocities, a
complaint of muck auctions, occupy one column each.
Three and a half columns aro devoted to editorials, of
which there are tint three, upon Napoleon's Circular,
the Act fur limiting liability in Partnerships. and the
Established Church in Ireland. It publishes foreign let

Trig TP.IBUNE of nearly the same date published 42
columns of reading matter. It gave the public for four
cents three and a half colunino.of correspondence from
Mexico, and letters from Louden, Faris, Milan, Mabee'',
NiJni-Novgorod, Berlin, Pragne, and Panama, which in
all amounted to 11 columns; special;' Washington cor
respondence, official documents from, the State Depart
ment, occupied two columns mid a half; commercial

intelligence, two;, litatature, one ; local news, throe

six articles, beeide_a number of paragraphs, Its tele

an unusually limited space.

"Under this stone lies Brown, who

a hundred winters. He was always

him and thus triumphed overan unpar
