Now reddens' the plain !
Bee l i the legions of darkness

On the fields that have echoed
Their tatimeti renown !
Oh ! mourn for the vanquished,

Who for God en I for freedom

Where•now they are bleeding,
And bleeding in %mini
Oh! mourn now, my country,
Thou chosen of earth!
Fur t'te t :ft of a demo s'

.And the wail of bereavenwnt,
The shriek of despair.
From thy heart broken - daughters,
Is tilting the air!
One prayer for the dying,
One teat for the dead,
Theft strike, 0 my brothers!
For the h3roes that bled:
Arise in your fury,

And down with tlw &eaten

IFEP THE HEART YOUNG.
Keep the heart y'oung, though the sands ebb low,
A eid the silver cord he parting.
'Menet) the wrinkles conie, and the roses go,
Abd the first gray hobs are starting.

And the brow where years are written;
Dye if you will those locks so s.leek,
Till 'your age be snugly hulden.
But the heart may be young, thougit . the look grow
old.
AU its inner life revealing,
A int its pulses leap, thou:tit the blood run cold,
Like the brook thiough }i'n dingle stealing.
As the pearl hrs.'s, fair in its sunken
Though the beach be 'wasting ever.
And the sp i ,gs still gush in the shady dell,
While the dying thy-beams quiver.
As the leaves fade not on the icy green,
With the re't we.sther.
Let the linkis keep bright, in their golden sheen,
That bind us all together.

2.000 `rebel cavalry seemed certain to crush

it seemed as it' the federalists would soon be

The combat was hand to hand. Horse

A superhuman effort on the part of the

Sigel saw the smile of heaven only and
would not despond. his eye flashed, and
his form expanded, as the shout of the ene

one way was left.
"Follow me!" thundered Sigel, and his
proud steel trampled an approaching rebel
wider his haughty feet.
A deep, strong, earnest cry from the rid

deteunination and the'energy of despair.
The secession, line could not endure the
shock. It reeo:led, Was thrown into confu

immovable_as an Alpine rock.
And Sigel was victorious, with the sun
still beaming clearly out, of the quiet sky.

Among other instahces illustrating the spiri t

Presbyterian Chureh iu Knoxville called a
U.'ion prayer meeting to pray that Bnrnside's
fleet might sink and the blockade be raised.
The same minister had said that he would

Impregnable Positions.'
No position that our armies have yet taken
ought to have been captured,, the Rebels be
ing judges. Hatteras Inlet, . Hilton Head,
Fort Ileury,-Roamike Island, Fort Donelson,-
New Madrid and Newbern, were' all pronoun
ced by their authorities utterly impregnable.
But when the Union forces moved seriously
forward to the work, they took them, all the
prophecies to the Contrary notwithstanding.,
Manassas, Bowling Green and Columbus,
Winchester and Fort Clinch, were said to be
so strongly fortified .that they could laugh at
all the tinges of the world. But they liaye
been ingloriously left fur us to occupy at our
leisure, without the firing of a guu or the
loss of a man.. Yet the smile kind of boast;
ing is,still kept up by the Rebel press.—
Every old -position which they occupy—
every new position to which they retreat—is
pronounced impregrablc. Like the Bour
bons, would seeni:that they can never learn
and n6ver forget anything. They have been
SO . - •
boasting that they will continue it even in
that famous last ditchin which the lust of.
the chivalry is to die.
But what will ,be,,the effect of th is on, their
own people by and by ? 'Twelve of their
impregnable positions have been - taken by
force, or have been evacuAted from a milita
ry necessity just in time to avoid a forcible
capture. Will not the deluded masses at
the South at last begin to open their eyes to
the-real weakness of the Rebel cause, and to
the shameful mendacity of the Rebel leaders?
They have already a dozen good reasons for
doubting the impregnability of any position
which they may _occupy. It will scarcely
require another dozen to convince them ful
ly that our fumes can take any of their posi
tions when' they really want it, and bend their
energies to its capture. Each impregnable
position .takenadds new lustre to our arms.
It fills' the hearts,of our forces with hope,
and the hearts of the Rebels with dismay, on

THE DYING FATTIER AND SON
I saw an . old gray-haired man,.' mortally

of his son, a youth of twenty Years. The
