AN 1111Pri BLEETE-.
By the moon's pale light 'to the gazing throng,
Let me tell one tale, let me sing one song,
'Tis a tale devoid of an.aim or plan—
'Tis a simple song of a one-armed man,
-
What a telltale ie an empty sleeve!
What a weird. queer thing is an empty sleeve!
It tells in a silent tone to all,
' a co - ÜBITO - need i,ra country e ,
Of a eiwcret kiss for child and wife, .
And a hurried march for a country's life -
Till this very hour who could ever believe,
What a tell-tale thing is an emptysleeve! ,
What a weird, queer thing ie an empty sleeve!
tells of battle and fields of roro,
i to sa ler s c he - cannon's roar,
Of the deadly charge, of the bugles-nate,--
Of a gurgling sound in foeman's throat;
Of the wining grape, of the fiery shell.
Of a'scene which mimics the scenes of hell.
Till this very hour who could ever believe,
What a tell-tale thingis an empty sleeve!
What a weird, queer thing is an empty sleeve!
Though it points to a myriad of wounds and scars,
Yet it tells of a flag of'stripes and stars,
In God's own chosen time will take,
Each place of the ...rag" with rtu. rattlesnake.
And it puha; to a time when the fin sna.l w ‘ve
O'er a land where breathes no cow-ring slave,
To the top of the skies, then let us all heave
One proud huzza for - the erritity sleeve—
Fur the ono armed man and the. empty sleeve!

BEND BENEATH THE BLAST .
When sorrow's tempest round us roar,
And overwhelm the soul;
0, trust thou not in worldly pride,
Or seeLthe_ternpling_o
But with a firm and tiusting, heart,
Bend low beneath the blast;
And He above who chasteneth thee,
Wilt raise thee when 'tis past.
The lofty oak,the_niountain_pice,---
ISo stately in their pridei—
/lust bend or break before the storm,
That on the night winds ride;
While the meek willow lowly stoops,
Before the raging blast,
And lifts its head in beaus:
When storms and clouds are past.
then, 0, man, must lowly bend,
When sorrows round thee press;
They - 1'641y be angels in disguise,
To lead to happiness;
O trust to Him who rules above;
And bend beneath the blast;
And he will raise thy drooping soul,
When storms of life are past.

children were still missing. At dawn a

a boy, who had given, them the right di

This was all that could be gained through.

their tools by and went into the bush; so did
the sawyers at the steam mil, did SD did

what romantic termination by the •tnarihrge
of the :high contracting parties' in court.—
The prisoner, James B. Hoyt, a young man
of quite respectable standing, was indicted
for the eeduerion el a Miss Law under prom
ise of marriage, and having refuied the on
ly-atonement—marriage—tor the injury he

criminal charge. Oi.e of the points relied
upon by the prisoner to secure an acquittal
was a belief iv ahility to prove the pfe

' this purpose he. introduced a witness named
Alfred Haight; who' testified toL criminal

sul jeered to eroem-exaniluation he so coutra
dieted himself as to sa'.isfy all present that

Whine he heard expression, of belief on all
sides that he had perjured hunsetf, and oth
er learerks not very complimentary . to his
character. Soon ulterward he expressed a
desire to make u full acid tree retraction of
all he had sail in tegare to the young lady
upon the witness stand. Meantime the
Curt had aujeureed,
The news of Haight's confession' was, re
ceived with . -perfect astonishment by- the
counsel-for Hoye-who—at -once determined
to withdraw from the case and leave the
prisoner to hie fate . They visited him in
jai and informed him of the sudden turn af
lairs had taken and of their inability to do
anything more in his case. The young man
was somewhat dunibloonded at first, but
soon regained Stlftieletit composure to propose
an offer of marriage The counsel commie
aged the suggestion as the only means of es
cape left to him from the State Prison, and
when the Court reasetu bled in the afternoon
—after Haight had publicly withdrawn his
evidence—made the offer to the District At
torney and Mr. Beach. They wereenoren e
tirely pleased with the proposition, but sub
mitted it to the young lady. She consulted
with her frieeds--they opposed the marriage;
two sisters, very estimable and worthy ladies,
who had - nobly stood by the unfortunate girl
through - ail - the - solemn hours - oflleutrieler e
seeded her with tears not to marry the
prisoner under circumstances Such as had
been developed on the trial, but the poor]
wronged and injured girl—with a mother's
tender love for her offspring, and a heart not
yet dead to the num:inky 'eattem of alt her
misery—gave such reasons for the step that
silenced oouuselefriends, relatives and all in
their opposition to the union, and consented
to the marriage. Meantime, while these
whisperings and negotiations, conducted with
sobs and 'tears, were going on, the vast au
dience in the court room remained sileat and
interested spectators of the scene. Scarcely
a person in the crowded assembly at first are
proved the union; but when it was at last
known that the young girl bad consented to
rescue the object of her heart's youthful al - -
feetious from a prison, all suddenly reversed
their judgement-4ov° won the victory over
reason—and hearty applause greeted the ap
pearance of Rev Dr. Baldwin, who had been
sent for to perform the marriage ceremony.
The young man, a prisoner but the moment
before, walked over to his bride, and a hew
words passed between them ; the reverend
Doctor took his position on ,the right of
Judge Robertson, and the young couple.pre
' Rented themselves at the altar. 'The Judge
was the first to break the stillness of the 801- -

as fortunate for all parties concerned. It
would seem from the evidence in the case

falsehood of certain parties, and had mistrus

tending to confirm such an itupreseion but
he has tome into emir and made a full and
free retraction of his evidence in regard to

The most' evident preparations were unseen
or umninded. It was said that Senator Sew

sat behind him, and hold nut his thumb and

Senator, averting his head, would extend his
box to his colleague from Yew York, who
still could not see any thing in the Southern
speeches but party rhetotic. It was a game
