THE WAR-CHRISTIAN.
What /lay tbe allies and chance Is,
Of old cathedrals dim 1
What say the pealing erganS
In chant and solemn hymn 7
'Fervor of adoration
And lore in tweet aecord,
Lore for the meanest mortal,
And glory to the Lord ?'
What saith the great 'War-Christian,'
High perched abore tie crowd,
With his hands so white and dainty,
And his heart so black and proud I
He draws a little cirle,
As narrow as his mind
And shuts froth all around it
God's mercy to mankind
He rants, he rarei, he blusters,
And from his sensual jaws
Pours rulgar slang, mistaking
Men's laughter for applaUs#,
And when the land is deluged
With blood and widows' tears
Incites redoubled slaughter,
And prates of gunl and spearf.
Forgetful or defiant
That He whose cause he shames,
Whose teachings he dishonors,
Whose Gojpel lie disclaims,
Was Lord of loving kindness,
And sought that war should cease,
That swords sboiild turn to ploughshares,
And nations live in peace
I'd rather for xr preachers
Have wild winds on the shore,
Or breeze amid tbe branches,
Or birds that sing and soar,
Or silence high an t holy,
Than Christians' such as he,
Who dares to counsel bloodshed,
And knows net charity.

BT MART CHIEF.
" I've a soldier for my beau."
Very sweet and musical was the voice of
Mildred Browii, as she stepped out on a bal
cony of the Continental Hotel one bright
morning in the early spring, singing with her
bird-like voice the above piece of honest con
fession and very pretty her confusion as
■ha almost ran over Colonel Bates, comforta
bly ensconed by tha window, lazily watching
the graceful spirals of smoke that wound up
ward from tin fragrant Havana, nestling un
der his heavy moustache.
At the sound of She uoiee, the Colonel's
face had smiled, as much as such a dafk stern
face could smile, and his eyes had lighted up,
aa much as such cold atony eyes could light
up; and now, on the rustling of Mildred's
fresh muslins, and the appearance of her
beautiful face be dung his cigar over the bal
cony, and sprang up to meet her saying:
" My kingdom for the soldier's name Miss
Mildred 1"
" We, young lad : es are not respntrsible for
the Sentiments of the songs we ting. Our
melodies are quotation* from the experience
of others," answered Mildred blushing.
•' Nay, there was a tenderness of tone in
your confession, Mildred Brown, tbat said too
plainly the poet's doom was thine," said the
Colonel earnestly. M And the guilty blushes
that hare been playing over cheek and brow
eonfrrm the tale. 0 Mildred I Best beloved •'
May 1 hope the soldier's name is mine?"
He had taken both her hawde in his, but
the color fkde I from Mildred's brow, wad she
averted her face from his searching glance,
and strove to free herself, but the passionate
soldier rapidly dbhtihucd:
" I startle you by the abruptness* of my
avowal; but I have loved you long and you
have ever received mo eo kindly, aud listened
to me always with so much interest, that I
have fancied yon were not indifferent, and
before I go away, I would take with me your
promise to be my bride."
" k cannot be Colonel Bates. I regret
your error, for you ere mistaken. Ido not
love yoo."
Her words came piteous!/ slow, dropping
like molten lead on the heart of Colonel Bates.
"TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS "-Thames Jefferson.
TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOV. 25, 1863.
His face grew doubly dark and stern, and his |
voice was harsh and discordant as he said :
" You do not love me 1 You reject my
offer ?"
Mildred's voice was full of deprecation, as
■he replied :
" More than I can tell do I regret that I
have unintentionally deceived you I have
been kind to you, for every soldier has a
claim on my kindness. I have listened to
your tales with especial interest, for it has
pleased you to accord high praise to a friend,
of whose bravery lam justly proud ; and I
fancied you might know—"
" I know nothing, save that I desired your
love. I know nothing now, save that it is
given to another. That other is a soldier !"
" He whom I love is a soldier," answered
Mildred firmly, and quietly.
" Aud in tfly regiment ? His voice was
full of concentrated passion.
"In your regiment." Mildrtd's voice was
low, her mantief- baifb.
" And his name is Captain Logan 1" Deep
er and hoarser Was the Colonel's tone.
•' His name is Captain Logan," echoed Mil
dredj with a tender pride and luting cadence.
" And new, Colonel Bates," aha added,
with a new kindness in her manner, " I fully
appreciate the great honor you have done me
—much as we both regret it; and I pray that
you will accept my friendship, for my love
was given to another before you asked it."
" Certainly, we are friends." And Colo
nel Bates, u*ed to self control, took the small
white hand pleadingly extended, as Mildred
bowed and passed rut of his sight, leaving
him with an angry light in his stony eyes,
and a vindictive fierceness about the mus
tached mouth
It was after the siege of Yicksburg, and
Mildred Brown with a pale face full of suffer
ing, stood at the window, softly singing :
" When this cruel war is orer,
Praying that we meet again "
"there was a plaintive undertone to tho
sweet melody of her voice, for that mof-ning
her eyes had ruii anXiously otet the list of
killed and wounded; ant? then stopped sud
denly, and dimmed with anxious fear as they
rested on the name of " Captain Logan, miss
ing. Hopes, doubts, and fears were written
on the fair young face, but they ail gave way
to s sudden lighting up, as ahe eagerly dsrted
forward and met the postman with two let
ters—both from the Army, but neither bear
irg the familiar Wrtiing ..f the loved hand !
Oh, the tearfulness of that ra 'inent when but
a word stands betweeu suspense and certain
ty ! How the heart will cling to the old,
fearful rmli'y 7 And M'ldred Brown, so
young and unused to life's rough ways, it was
itiful to tee the hands that had rested on
her lover's head so tenderly, shake with fear
as she undid the seals that Hood beiweer.
hope and despair; it was pitiful to see the
eyes, all unused to weeping, gather up the
terrible truth, as they glanced over the page,
and pitiful, to hear the cry of anguish that
went up from Mildred, smitten aud afflicted ;
for tbe door had closed over futile hopes, and
her soul groped blindly in the darkness end
utter pitilessness of certainty. The letter
waa from Colonel Bates, gently ana tenderly
written, but containing the sad news of Cap
tain Logan's death. Tho other letter was
from a Lieutenant, who had promised his
Captain to write to Mildred, if aught occur
red disabling hiin. He wrote of the exposed
situation which his Captain held ifl obedience
to their Colonel's command, and of his fall in
noblest discharge of moat fearful duty.
The same sad tale that has come to so ma
ny homes during this cruel war 1 No last
words or looks for fu'uru remembrance, no
loving ministration of tender hands to comfort
the heart in after days f Death, cruel death,
in all its terribleneas, with none of the alleti
ationa that take away ite sting f In such an
hooi, when earthly comforts fail, fhrice bless'
ed they who, like Mildred, can turn for con
solation to that Holy Volume which declaied :
" Blessed are they that mourn, for they ahall
be comforted^'
Turning the sacred pages, she opened to
the story of David and Uriah, and as she
read David's command, " Set ye Uriah in the
forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye
from hire that he ruay be smitten and die";
she involuntarily shuddered and thought of
Colonel Bates.
The summer pasted with its mingled good
and ill, and the earth pat on its autumnal
glories, robes of flame, and gold, and russet
brown, and, a few days since Colonel Bates
was pleading again with the fair Mildred, sad'
dened and subdued by the memories of her
summer sorrow* Colonel Bates was skillful
far bis reading of the human heart, and knew
that to his gentle sympathy and persevering
devotion Mildred, eooid not be totally indiff
erent, and now he urged no forgetfuloess of
the Tost love, only her acceptance of hit life
long devotion. And Mildred lonely and deso
late, was thinking of her life SJ valueless to
herself, and wondering if she had a right to
withhold it from one to whom rt seemed eo
precious, when, in the mingled thoeghts that
cr iwded oa her mind, came instinctively the
story of David and Uriah, and she turned
awgy wearily, ssying, she must think; she (
could not decide until the morrow.
And thinking there gloat thinking of all j
the precious past dftd dreaded future, there
came e step upon the witfk that made her
heart stand still; for it Wis a treat? site never
expected to hear again—a footfall of one Whose
body lay mouldering in the ground, and
whose soul was marchirtg on. She betieted
she wu droammg and started from her chair,
Then a voice she thought Stilled forever,
sounded in the hall. She staggered forward,
and there was tbe pale, handsome face, full of
its old strength and tenderness, that she had
►chooled herself to think as rigid and motion
less, and she fell fainting ia the arms of Cap
tain Logan.
Lik# a resurrection from the dead was hie
sudden appearance ; but he soon told how, in
the thickest of tbe fight Colonel Bates had
assigned him a post, to bold which was al
most certain deith. He had fallen, and waa
thought dead, but before hie comrades could
return to him, he had revived,and waa taksn
prisoner, for weeks and months he had
thus remained without power te return or
appriee hie friends of his existence, but at
length had made his escape home to the
North ; home to love and Mildred.
Colonel Bates came for his answer early
the next morning—so early thai the disar
ranged household had not met for family de
votions, and he was invited te remain. Mil
dred's old grandfathar read for hia morning
selection the story of David aad Uriah, and
all who glanced at Colobel Bates saw a
troubled man, ill at aase.
Ever and anon ho turned anxiously to Mil
dred's fair face, full of holy peace and joy, hut
its deep ftffcitHhg Hit unfathomed, until Cap
tain Logan entered, and he waa answertd.
A REAL. CALAMITY.
The re-election of Andrew G. Curt id baa
fallen like a sad presentiment of future evil
upon the people of Pennsylvania. It was ac
coropllshed by the Administration through
imported votes aad green backs, and ia not

the Sttte; Even the Republicans, ae they
look infb the future and consult their own
better judgment, can hut ffeef ♦ hat if ia the
greatest calamity that ever befel our Com
monwealth. Instead of arresting the plunder,

tnent by the election of e man who regards the
Constitution, tbe liberty,- tbe life and tbe prop
erty of the, people we have foistdd upon as
for three years to come, a man who has proved
recreant to them all—Pennsylvania has beSn
made to endorse the 4frdd revolutionary
doctrines of the old Abolition party, and to
approve all the outrages of tbe corrupt neeft at
Washington. If the Republicans of this State
do not live to regret the part they have taken
in the matter it will be becanae they are
too corrupt to love good government or too
ignorant to appreciate their position. That
they Wil! psy dearly for their partisan blind
ness none can deny.
TRUE COURAGE
A little drummer boy in one of our regi
ments who had become a greet favorite with
many of the officers, by his unremitting good
nature happened to be in an officer's tent
when the bane of the soldier's life wae peeeed
■round. A captain handed £ glass to the lit
tle fellow, hut he refused it, saying, " I am a
cadet of temperance, and do not taste strong
drink."
44 But you must take some novr. I insist
upon it. You belong to our mess to-day and
cannot refuse."
Still the boy stood firm on the rock of to
tal abstinence, and held fast to his integrity.
The captain, turning to the major, said :
44 H—is afraid to ;he will never make a
soldier."
44 How ie this said the Major playfully snd
then assuming another tone, added, 4 1 com
mand you to take a drink, and you khew it it
death to disobey orders."
The little hero, raising his young form to
its full height and fixing his dear blue eyes,
lit up with unusual brilliancy, on the officer
said :
44 Sir, my father died a drunkard: and
when I entered the army, I promised my
mother on my bended knees, that by the help
of God 1 would not teste a drop of rum, and
I mean to keep my promise. lam sorry to
disobey Jour orders, sir, but I would rather
suffer disgrace than disgrace my mother and
break my (smperenCe pledge,"
This noble little drummer boy it now a
wounded sufferer at the Hospital in West
Philadelphia.

AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
Not Ihog after the battle of Gettysburg, I
some three uot/sChtf soldiers bad assembled
within the confines of a mammoth chapel-teat
fur the purpose of evening worship. A half
hour had olapaed since the opening of the
discourse when a terrihia clap of thunder
burst upon the ears of the startled congrega
tion, causing even tbe boldest to shudder at
its power and volume of sound. The noise
of the huge rain drops as they pattered upon
the petition, waa ae the " long rolls" beaten
by a hundied drums. In vsin did the minis
ter endeavor to make his own veice heard ;
aor was he permitted to do so, until tbe
" heavens were bottled up," and the rain bad
ceased.
A party of three young mSa standing near
the entrance of the tent, having been particu
larly oaeasv during the service, were observ
ed to leave their c'otnrsdei, one of them re
marking as they stepped outside, " Let's go
to our tent, I'm ifrafd of neither God nor
devil." A short time only had elapsed, ere a
commotion near the door betokened t&at
something unusual had hsppeaed. A tent
had been struck by lightning, and 4 man
killed. The body was brought in and placed
near tbe centre of the tent. That bedy wae
all that rsmained of the youth who had ex
pressed hie contempt of the Dtfity. There,
palsied and celd, with distorted features and
eyea glaring in mockary of life, lay he, lately
so buoyant in fall health.
Upon leaving the tent, tbe three young
men had sought tbe shelter of their own
■mall accommodations, and lying down side
by side, prepared for sleep. While yet awake
the bolt of Heaven had fallen upon them.—
The unfortunate youth whose soul had been
required, had been singled out trom between
his two comrades. They, also, had receivod
injury, but after a little time recovered and
begged to be led into the chapel tent, that
they might Colbmune with the chaplain. It
was a most affecting eight. There, in the
presence of that vast assembly, before the re
mains of thit deceased tfc/iher in arms, these
two young men snatched f rctih tbe jaws of
death, like " brands from the burning," ex
pressed their gratitude to God fot bis mercy,
and thair determination to do better lb the
future. Tbe chaplain new addressed the
meeting, taking for his text, "It is a fearful
thing to fall into the bands of tha living
God." And that multitude, ao little used to
tears, now sobbed almost as a body. Tbe ef
fect produced by that scene will never be
effaced from tbe minds of those who wsre
present. Many wera the vows made by the
soldiers upon that occasion, to recollect the
text, and also to remember that "He will not
hold him guiltless who taketb His nam# in
vain."
A GOOD WORD FOR fife SKUNK.
The American Agriculturist says of the
skunk ;
" All summer long he rosms jour pMtare
st night picking up beetles snd grubs, polking
with his nose in potato hills where many
worms are at work. He takes possession of
the apartment of the woodchtwk, who hae
quartered himself and familj upon jour clo
ver field or garden, and makes short work
with all the domestic arrangements of unmiti
gated nuisance, with this white backed sea
tincl around, jou can raise closer in peace,
and the joung turnip will flourish; Your
beans will not be prematurelj snapped, and
your garden sauce will be free from retmin.
The most careful observation of his habits
shows that he lives almost exclusivelj upon
insects. While you sleep he is bnsj doing
jour work, helping to deetroj jour enemies.
If anj fair account is kept with him, the bal
ance roust be struck in his favor. Thus we
often find friends under the most unpromis
ing appearances, and badly abused men are
not unfrequently the benefactors ot society."
E3T A jolly fellow bad an office next
door to a doctor's shop. One day, an elderly
gentleman of the old fogy school blundered
into the wrong shop.

The explorations of Mr. Aubray in Arifo
