Br CHARLES C SAWYER,
Dearest love do you remember,
When we last did meet,

Kneeling at my feet 7
Oh ! how prou 1 you stood before me
In your suit of blue,
When you vowed to me and country
Ever to be t: ue.
Chorus, —Weeping, sad and lonely,
Hopes and tears, how vain,
When this cruel war is over,
Praying that we meet again
When the summer breeze is sighing
Mournfully along ;
Or when autumn leaves are falling,
Saily breathes the song
Oft in dreams I see the lying
On the battle plain,
Lonelv, wounded, even dying,
Calling, but in vain.
CHORUS, —Weeping, sad, Ac,
If amid the din of battle
Nobly you should fall
Far away from those who love you,
None to hear you call—
Who would whisper words of comfort,
Who would sooth your paiu 7
Ah ! the many cruel fancies
Ever in my brain
CHORUS - Weeping, sad, Ac,
But our country called you, darling,
Angels cheer your way ;
While our nation's sous are fightirg,
f* We can only pray-
Nobly srike tor God and liberty,
Let all nations see
llow we love the starry banner,
Emblem of the free.

BY PARK MOODT.
"In blissful dreams thy presence seems
Inwoven with each bright
And beautious thing,each lovely flower
Each siar that gems the night "
It was not generally known in the village
of C that the young gir! who was often
seen watering the plants and training the
shrubbery in the beautiful garden of Col.
was his niece, and consequently
cousin to the elegant Kate Hastings, but
such was the case. For two years she had
been an inmate of that dwelling, but during
all that time she had not even once appeared
tn the gay assemblies of the place, nor had
she been presented to any one as a relative
'•f the family. This might appear the result
of jlesign on the part of those on whom she
was dependent, but it was not altogether so.
IT e cause might be traced,in part at least, to
the habits of Clara herself. From the time
she came to reside in the family of her Un
cle, she exhibited an unaccountable reluct
ance to appear before strangers, and sc strung
was this feeling thai importunities were ol
no avail.
"I will be a sister to her," said Kate
when it was first known that the gentle
Clara was to take up her abode with her re!
atives,'- for her heart must be nearly broken
by this great affliction, and now that she has
neither father nor mother to care for her,
ami is left alone in the world, I will try and
make her happy."
This was spoken with feeling, for how
could she do otherwise than love such a gen
tle and affectionate girl, so deeply afflicted,
and her own cousin too ? Cut when we
glance at the character of Kate, it will at
once he seen why the two, when they met,
did not mingle together in a ststerjy union.
tSiie was left at an early age without a moth
er, and received as an inheritance that moth
er's beauty without her restraining influence
and love. Indeed, she was very beautiful,
and at the early nge of sixteen glided noise
lessly, like a smooth flowing river, to the en
viable position of a belle, even as marble in
the master's hand foreshadows perfection—
Sell is generally the foundation of this emi
nence. and but for self, no rivalry for its hon
ors would exist. Beauty is insiduoiis, and
not always best friend. It doth sometimes
undermine a foundation which nothing else
con Id reach. If Kate had been bereft of Iter
loveliness she would have had little else to
live for, though this was not all the world to
her. She prized it as one prizes health who
has never known sickness. She was beauti
ful as a matter of course, and silently permit
ted those feelings to expand which received
nourishment from this source. When her
cousin Clara became a homeless orphan, she
remembered how good and gentle site had
always been, and how much she now needed
sympathy ; and determined at once to make
her her c.ufidant and friend, and share with
her her honors and gaieties, and thus lead
her away from the sorrows which she knew
must fill her heart. But the most that Cla
ra desired when she catnc to reside under her
uncle's roof, was sympathy. Kate could of-
Ar her a sMr tn her pleasure*, but she need-
"TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "-Thomas Jefferson.
TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1863.
Ed most that Kite should partake of her sor"
rows.
" Yon will go with mo to-night to Mrs
Gardner's grand party," said Kate to her
soon after her arrival. "Itisto be very fine
indeed, and you will 6ee much to make you
forget your sorrows, and you have had so
very much of late to make you sad, I am
sure it will he a benefit to you."
" Indeed," said Clata, almost sobbing with
grief, for nothing could have been less oppor
tune than to rt'fer to this subject, '* I cannot
go to night. Really, you must excuse me,
and I will go some other time."
" Not go to Mrs. Gardiur's ! Why, it will
be the very place to enliven you !" returned
Kate much disappointed.
" Indeed, dear cousin, I cannot go," was
the reply of Clara as she turned away to hide
her tears, and faster still these tears coursed
over her pale checks as she sought the re
tirement of her own rojm.
Kate was astonished that she should re
fuse, and secretly resolved not to i xtend ai>%
other invitation to her if it was to Le receiv
ed in this manner, a resoiuliou which was af
terwards kept, though it was made less than
half in earnest; hut the gentle, unobtrusive
character of Clara was totally at variance
with the ambitious pleasures of Kate. So
sensitive grew she limn the loneliness of her
situation, and the want of [ roper companion
ship, that she shrank instinctively from ob
servation, gliding noiselessly from room to
room in the accomplishment ,of her self im
posed duties—a being whose presence was
telt by the inmates ot the dwelling, but sel
dom seen.
'• You are living to much like a reclu s e,'
said Col. Hastings to her ; "it won't do—
There's Kate, yphere excitement is
highest. See, she is fixing now for a party,
a pic-nic, or a flirtation. Had you not bet
ter accompany her?"
Kate turned to extend the invitation, but
saw no encouragement in Clara's eye.
" I am very happy as 1 am," replied she.—
" I should be very foolish if I was not, with
-ncli a bountiful uncle to provide fir me, and
as lor to night, I intended to sing you a new
sorg if \( u would like to hear ii."
'• I am always glad to hear von, my little
niece," said he, " but do not want to keep
you all o myself."
Kite departed, and Ciara soon sang her
uncle to sleep. She was a ministering angel
to him, invisible, but none the less rial, lor
well she knew it was his bounty which gave
•
her a quiet, happy home—for happy she wa>
at tunes, even in the shadow of her fi st
great grief. li s slipper-, his newspaper, his
walking stick and overcoat were always pre
cisely where he wished them to b', and ma
ny a Ittlle attention, secretly performed, de
noted how carefully his thoughts were stud
ied. Fhe Colonel saw her seclusion from
the world with evident regret, and sought
many ways to reinstate her in society, but
all importunities were resisted. Had Kate
understood her delicate formation, and ex
ercised her power, she would undoubtedly
have wrought a change in her chaiacter ; but
instead of this, she cime to look upon her,
from long habit, as something connected
with the household, and thinking, perhaps,
that her own duties would be better perform
ed in such bands, passed them quietly over
to her, who, unmurmuring, did every thing
assigned her, and much more. Often when
visitors were expected would her taste b i re
quisite in the araangement of the viands or
the evening's programme of amusement, but
when those viands were discussed, she heard
not the praises lavished upon thein, nor did
she participate in the pleasures which fol
lowed. She found ample teward in some
volume from her uncle's library, for all which
she had done.
4< I think our Glara must have awakened
from her hermit propensities," said the Colo
nel one evening as he glanced over his quar
ly bills and found many costly articles
'• These nicknacks cannot surely all be meant
lor Kate ! It is all right, however, ned 1 am
glad of it. I'll congratulate her at once on
her entrance into society." So saying he
summoned his niece.
il Clara," said he, showing the bills, " in
stead of uaving any objections to this, I aui
glad of it. Don't blush !" observed he, re
marking the color in her cheeks, for she saw
the footing was quite formidable, and knew
ihe whole expeu>e had been incurred by-
Kate. u Your cousin spends more in an af
ternoon than you do in a year, ami it is my
wish that you have everything you desire."
So saying, he good-humoredly bado her sing
him a song, 4 ' which," said he, " will square
the bill, and leave me in your debt." She
did not intimate that he had attributed this
extravagance to an innocent party, but com
plied with his request, and certainly it must
have made him forget everything else, to lis
ten to her enchanting voice. It was true |
that Kite had drawn rather - heavily upon
her fiiher's purse. There was a diamond
ring, for instance, a costly shawl and broach
which might have been dispensed with, but
these were fur a given purpose, as the sevuel
will show.
She did net suppose when Roland Howard
was introduced in their village, that he would
(all ih love with any other of the maidens
there but herself—that is, if he waa inclined
to fall in love *t ah, for, reasoned she, no
one disputes the palm with me either as re
gards beau'y, accomplishments or wealth.—
Nevertheless, to make sure, an elegant shawl,
she apprehended, Would be of service, and, as
in their intercourse she saw more of him, it
appeared still more important that she should
look pleasing in his eyes, a diamond broach
was therefore added to her ornaments.
And when his character, his high attain
ments, his position and wealth were taken
into consideration, it might appear faudable
in her to strive for the distinction of an alli
ance wit h him ; and truly, her dreams had
never pictured a form more manly, or a face
of such striking eloquence. She, also, pass
ed before him like a vision of beauty. There
was prace in her every movement, music in
her Voice, aud enchantment in her faintest
smile.
"She is loveliness itself," said he almost
aloud. "My heart whispers that I must see
more of her."
Ihey met often ; they danced 6ang and rode
together.
Oh !" thought she, as she reclined upon
a sofa, h ailing her head upon her hand, " the
ideal of the finest fancy would suffer in com
parison with him."
The morrow was to be a gala day. The
thought of it, of the long hours ihey might
spend together, filled her with sweet fancies
and she fell a-leep. Her dreams were even
more enchanting than her waking musings.
Not only the morrow, but a long perspective,
of gala days opened before her, in which were
heard the same deep tones that thrilled hrr
waking hours, and in which the flashing eye
and finely wrought features of Roland How
ard were intermingled. It was a sweet
dream threaded with deep emotions, present
ing as her snowy bosom swelled in harmony
with hopes pulsations, an enchanting picture
The morning came, and. as the forthcoming
pic nis had been pr- jected on the spur of the
moment, all was preparation. Bv the ar
rangement, Roland was to call with his car
riage for Kate and on the wings ofexpecta-
turn he proceeded Ins liuie a lull half hour.
She, more than umiill v precise, had not yet
liui-.liod her toilet, and lie was invited into
the paih r, instead of Which, however, he pre
(erred Mopping into the paiden, thinking,
perhaps, that a delicate white rose-bud would
be an agreeable preface to a subject near his
heart. Pa-sing und ran arch, overrun with
honeysuckle, and turning an angle hectme
directly upon Clara, whom he bad 11 ver lie
foreseen. She held a large bouquet before
her, admiring the 13 <wers and inhaling their
fragrance, which prevented her from seeing
iiun till the dewy roses brushed against his
cheek. .Self-possessed as lloland usually was
he was slightly einbarassed, and Clara's cheek
became instantly the hue of her own roses.
Sue would inevitably have appeared ridiculous
had not Roland's frank manner, cotnbinded
with a seasonable word, set her at ease.
"Truly a novel introduction to an agreea
hie lady," thought he as they conversed to
gether. " I was not aware," said lie, turning
to her, " that Miss Hastings had a visitor
Doubtless you arrived last evening, unless,
perliaiice, site withheld the information to
give us all a sweet sui prise."
44 1 am not a transient visitor, but a resi
dent here."
44 Then how is it possible that I never met
with you before?"
44 My own habits of retirement since the
death of iny parents have kept me entirely
excluded from society," was the reply.
lie glanced repeatedly at her fanltles fca
tures and natural grace, as he touched up >n
other subjects, and listened to her ready re
sponse, showing a mind cultivated and intel
lectual. The thought arose in his mind that
Kate, to be insensible to the merits of such
a charming companion, must lack many of
the requisites of a refined ami sisterly affec
tion ; " and surely," 6aid he, 44 she has never
once mentioned that such a being existed.'*
Anxious to discover more of her mental quali
ties in the short time allotted to them he in
tr. duced a variety of subjects, all of which
were entered into with delicacy and spirit by
Clara. He instantly recogniaed a resem
blance between her and Kate. If the latter
was beautiful, Clara bad inherited beauty
from a I'he source. Had a coronet graced
her brow, and robes of state adorned her per
son, she would have stood a queen among
queens ; but even then one might ask " would
she be more beautiful than in her robes of
simple white ?
Roland extended an urgent invitation to
her to accompany them as Kate entered the
parlor, buthe tnode9t!y declined.
Kate was surprised to find her cousin
composedly in conversation with one whom
she must have met by accident, and Iloland
look the opportunity to el cit more of her
history. The day was uncommonly beauti
ful the ride exhilerating, and nothing trans
pired to_ mar the harmony of the occasion.
Many times, in tlve course of.the day, did the
sweet, angelic face of Clara present itself to
Roland's menu I vision, and many times did
he suggest a motive for the apparent neglect
with which 6he was treated by her cousin.
Ue had thought himself in love with Kate.
So faultless was her beauty, he deemed her
almost perfection. But now another like face
was presented to him, and the two beings,
how different! lie presented himself often
at the mansion where they resided. Once
more be stood face to face with Clara in he r
retirement, her innocence, and her simplicity t
his own soul was full of nobleness and truth,
and it needed not his eloquence of niauuer to
find a true response in her young heart
Emotions were awakened in the hearts oj
both which pure love alone could interpret.
Again he stood side by side with Kate in
the gay assembly. They were marked by
every eye. Who could compare with Kate
n grace, beauty aud magnificence? Wrvo
could compare with Roland in noble
ness and truth ? "It is a match," they
whimpered. Kite was happy. Let R .land an
alyze her feelings. " She is happy," said ho
inwardly '• because she is a belle and has no
competitor, because every eye is turned to
her expressing admiration, anibeciuse to be
the centre round which many stars revolve is
of infinitely more importance to her than to
receive the homage of a single heart." In
comparison he called up one absent, yet pres
ent. Her heart thrilled in response to his,
and not because of the admiration
of the crowd. In hitn dwelt a
power to illumine her eye which the world
had not. That bsing, d welling in seclusion
unnoticed, unregarded, by on# soft word of
his was transformed into an angel. " Ra'.her
be all to her," raid he, " than part even to
the brightest being imagination can picture."
Thus, while the smile was on her lip, while
her heart exulted and her voice breathed
melody and gladnes, the magnificent Kate
lost her lover. The affectionate Clara became
the wife of Roland Howard, and the boight

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
Much interest exists in the public mind
relative to the political complexion of the
next house of representatives. It is clearly
manifest that a very large majority of the
people of the loyal section of the Union are
carefully watching and anxiously hoping that
the body may be so politically constituted as
to be enabled to thwart the purpose, emana
ting from many high in authority, to trample
down all constitutional rights, and disregard
the privileges and liberties of the people.
Electi' in having been held in nearly all the
States which will be represented in the body
we annex a carefully perparcd fable, which
will go far toward elucidating t.ie politica
aspect of Congress :

We estimate that the result
will be as follows :
Kentucky 1 8

This would divide the House, as fellows :

creased to eight. Mr. Marvin, war Democrat
from the Saratoga district of New York, was
elected as an independent, in opposition to
the Ripublic and nominee, and will coope

ism.
We have made a very liberal allowance of
Republican strength from the Slate of Mis

TRUTH FROM A REPUBLICAN CON.
CHESSMAN.
Our readers have already been acquainted
with the exposure of itntnease frauds in the
New York Custom House, through the instru
mentality of the Congressional Investigating
Committee, of which Colonel Van Wyck ia
chairman. An effort was made to prevent
the evidence from becoming public, but th
Colonel was not to be deterred by threats or
bribes, and insisted that his report should be
printed. The following extract from bis
speech in Congress on the subject expresses
sentiments that must meet with a fervent
response in the breast of every real patriot;
It should be recollected that Colonel Van
Wyck is a Republican, and his testimony is
more valuable on that account;
" The neck begius to chafe where the yoke
of this heavy burden is borne. The Admin
istration has feared to drive such men from its
door, lest hostilitv should be aroused against
it. That which they supposed strength haa
been the great sourco of weakness With a
single exception, when has one of these men
been court-martialed or punished? To-day
they have injured the republic more than the
Southin arms. Ilsd they been arrested, and
placedunder thegallwo9 or in Fort Lafayette,
yoururmy would hace been stronger, your
peopleut home mere united:—No wonder
l hat your soldiers andJriends are dissatis.
fed. They cannot appi relate the patriotism,
of stealing —Your,"army, for a mere pittance,
is deprived of all luxuries, and at the samo
time, the necessities of lifej enduring all the
privations of camp and the dangers of battle,
while they see baso men making mockery of
the mi-fortune fo the nation, coining gold from
the sighs and tears of the jieople."
Commonplace Wome^.— Heaven knows
how many simple letters, from simple minded
women, have been kissed, cherished, and wept
over by men of far loftier intellect. So it
will always be to the end of time. It is a
lesson worth learning by those young crea
tures \gho seek to allure-by their accomplish
