THE DREAM OF THE YEAR
By Grantellns
(THE FIRST QUARTER.)
Eli
'Twas at the midnight hour
With feelings wan and sad—
When on the couch of slumber
The busy world was laid—
I watched• the dying embers
Upon the rueful hearth,
And thought of days agone, and those
That may be mine on earth.
A light shone all around me
Yielding a lurid ray ;
Closing mine eyes, they open'd were
Upon a brighter day;
Rare beauties now commingled
With objects proud and mean, •
An inharmonious 'semblage
On ev'ry hand was seen.
And then there came a.stalwart man
Dressed in an ample garb,
Around him clung the nor-west winds,
His features, cold and hard.
His mantle lined with ermine
His scull-cap edg'd with fur,
His beard was white and prickly, as
The autumn chestnut bur.
And tho' his eyes the index were
Of an imperious sway,
I yet essayed a 'near approach
My humble court to pay.
But ah, his freezing proud repulse
Threw me in a quandary,
I learned hiefrigid nature, for
His name was January.
I quickly turned myself away
From his cold silent gaze
And sought companionship with one.
Of a more generous phaze,
A hale and short set burley man
That looked the soul of humor,
And seemed to be as urbane as
A fancy French perfumer,
But soon he don'd his rugged cloak
And with a chilling look,
That like a northern iceberg fell
Into a sunny brook,
He summoned up old Boreas
The god of winds contrary,
And hid me say to mortals that
I'4 seen old Febiuto y.
N4w who I ask'd, in this wierd world
Will harken to my prayer?
A gentle voice bourne on the breeze
Said see! look over there,'
fie with the helmet and the shield
With gliVring sword and crest,
The gentle south-wind will command
And give the peace and rest.
But lie was fickle, and forsooth
Blew hot and cold together,
And oft times raged in blasts that tore
The grass roots Irons the heather;
His visage now was decked with smiles
Anon 'twits cold and arch,
And in my wondering ears he breathed
I'm blustering railing March.'
Mid heavy darkness I awoke—
With stilfen'd limbs
And aching brain
I sought my couch
From wind and rain
That through the casement broke;
Then in the nosey numbers
Of the approaching dawn,
I wood refreshing slumbers,
And with a languid yawn .
Embraced the sleep of Hope.
THE TRAITOR'S CURSE
BY THOMAS MOORE.
O for a tongue to curse the slave
Whose treason, like a deadly blight,
Comes o'er the counsels of the brave,
And blast them in their hour of might I
May life's unblessed cup for him
Be drugg id with treachery to the brim,
With hopes that but allure to fly,
With joys that vanish whlle he sips,
Like Dead Sea fruits that tempt the eyo
But turn to ashes on the lips.
His country's curse, his children's shame !
Outcast of virture, peace and fame ;
May he at last, with lips of flame,
On the parched desert thirsting die,
While lakes that shone in mockery nigh
Are fading off untouched, untested,
Like the once glorious hopes he blasted.
FORTIFICATIONS AT BALTIMORE.—The
fortification which is in the course of
construction in the eastern suburbs of
Baltimore, by the Seventh Maine Regi
ment, is rapidly progressing. Its arma
ment
. is to consist of six large columbi
ads, and nineteen smaller guns. This
fortification commands all approaches
to the city from the eastern side, and
also the Philadelphia and Baltimore
Railroad for a distance of more than
two miles. It is to be a strong tort,
and will probably be completed in six
weeks. Two of the columbiads will be
mounted next week.
KW A. "good one" is told of a Quaker
volunteer who was ,in a Virginia skirmish.
Coining into pretty close quaaters with
with a rebel, he remarked—" Friend, it
is unfortunate, but thee stands just where
I am goir.g to shoot," and, blazing away,
down came the secesher.

How TO KEEP EGGS.—Here is a recipe,
which is itself worth , the price of sub
scription to any housekeeper, and we
give it to our readers gratis. It is at
once simple and infallible.' A gentle
man has informed us that he has used it
for eight years in his family, and never
yet took a foul egg out of the liquid, and,
what is better, eggs preserved in this
way never loose their richness:
Recipe.—To 3 gallons of water add 1
pint quick lime and 1 pint salt, and stir
till well mixed and dissolved. No care
is needed in putting in the eggs, as they
will always settle right . end up, if just
dropped lightly into the vessel. None
but those perfectly sound will sink.—
Those which float should be taken out,
for although they may be good enough
for immediate use, they are not entirely
sound. It is not important whether the
eggs be all placed in the vessel at once
or at different times; and they can be
taken out as they are needed.
RECRUITING IN IRELAND.—The Dublin
Evening Post, of the 17th ultimo, as
serts that there are persons at present
in that country, agents from America,
who are endeavoring to enlist men for
the Federal service, and adds :—'How
far this may be in consonance with in
ternational law we shall not now under
take to determine; but it is certain that
there aro many persons belonging to the
disbanded Irish militia regiments, not
employed, who, we believe, would not
object to any tempting offers that might
be made them in order to secure their
assistance for the Government of the
Union in the deadly struggle which it is
now waging with the Southern Confed-
eracy."
MILITARY.—Five companies of the
Pennsylvania Regiment guarding the
bridges on the Northern Central Rail
road, are encamped in the Sherwood
Grove, near Cockeysville, while the oth
er five companies are scattered along
the road. The head quarters of the
regiment is at the Cockeysville camp.
There are two companies of cavalry
from Reading, Pennsylvania, stationed
at the Cattle Show Grounds, on Charles
street avenue, Baltimore. A part of
them occasionally make short excursions
into •the country and make a creditable
appearance.
FUNFAAL OF A PUCILIST.—The funeral
of the late pugilist, Ben. Gaunt, was at
tended by Bendigo, ex-champion of
England, with whom Gaunt had fought
two battles, and who appeared much af
fected. Caunt's death was by no means
a sudden one. On the contrary, be had
been confined to his bed for five days
previous to his death. Nearly six
months ago, in a row in which he was
compelled to interfere, one of his knuc
kles was put out or splintered, and from
that time he gradually sank until the
time of his death.
AN ALLEGED MURDERER RECOGNIZED.-
On Saturday afternoon, upon the arrival
of some cavalry at Baltimore from
Washington, a negro, who accompanied
them, was recognized and pointed out
by a person in the crowd of lookerson
as the party who killed a youth, named
Skinner, on Federal Hill, some years
ago. An attempt was made to arrest
him but, he escaped to Washington,
whether a telegraphic despatch was sent
to have him arrested.
ANNUITY CONFISCATED.—CoIoneI Mc-
Neil, Assistant Provost Marshal at St.
Louis, has notified the "St.-Louis:Ruild
ing and Savings Association," that the
sum of thirty2two or thirty-three thous
arA dollars, part an annuity paid the
Cherokee Nation by the Government
of the United State, and deposited in
the above named institution by the
agents of said nation, is forfeited to the
United States and confiscated to their
use and benefit, the Cherokees having
joined the Rebels.
CA:5lr CIIESTS LOST.—The camp chests,
belonging to Colonel McKnight's Penn
sylvania Regiment,were lost in Baltimore
on Thursday, while being transported to
the Washington depot in that city; and
have not since been found. The chests
contain some valuable articles, such as
revolvers, swords. &c., and are marked,
one with Colonel McKnight's name, and
the other "W. W. Corbit," also the regi
ment to which they belong.

WISE AND Fr.ovn : The Richmond
Enquirer significantly says that the re
lations between Wise and Floyd "are
painful enough" to account for all the
confederate reverses in western Virginia.
We wonder if any one ever expected
that the relations between those two
worthies would be anything but "pain
ful," if they were put in the field to
gether. One of them is a crazy-headed
fanatic, and the other a thief. It would
have been a new phase in Wise's career
had he escaped getting himself into hot
water of some sort; and it, would have
been as strange for Floyd to have failed
to bring disaster in his train. If the re
bels have court-martialled Wise, they
have probably •acted judiciously ; they
will do still better if they consign Floyd
to the penitentiary. But even then we
fancy that Rosecrans, Reynolds and Cox
will easily furnish them with some fresh
reverses to account for. ,'
POPULATION OF TOE GLOBE : A Pro
fessor of the Berlin University has been
makiag curious researches respecting
the population of the globe. The fol
lowing is the result: "Population of
Europe, 272,000,000'; of Asia, 720,000,-
000 ; of America, 200,000,000 ; of Alma,
8,000,000 ; of Australia, 2,000,000.
Total population of the g10be,1,283,000,-
000. The average number of deaths per
annum, in certain places where records
are kept, is about one to every forty in
habitants. At the present time the
number of deaths in a year would be
about 32,000,000, which is more than
the entire present population of the
United States. At this rate the aver
age number of deaths per day is about
87,761. Thus, at least, every second a
human life is ended. As the births
considerably exceed the deaths, there
are probably 70 or 80 human beings born
per minute.
LETTER. FROM MRS. JEFF. DAVIS: It
is said that in June last Mrs. Jefferson
Davis wrote a letter to a colored woman
in Washington, in which she stated that
before the end of July the rebel Govern
ment would be inaugurated in Washing
ton, and she be installed its 'mistress of
the White House. The object of the
letter was to assure the colored woman
that she would be safe to remain in
Washington, and to secure her service
when Mrs. Davis was called to dispense
the hospitalities of the Executive Man
sion.
EX-PRESIDENT VAN BTJREN.—On the
23d ult. the village of Canandaigua, N.
Y., was visited by ex-President Martin
Van Buren, who had been staying for
some weeks at Clifton, accompanied by
his son, the Hon, John Van Buren, and
other friends. The venerable ox-Presi
dent is now 79 years of age, and as fresh
and vigorous, both physical and mental
ly, as he was thirty years ago.
MILITARY QUARRELS.—The warmth
with which Mrs. Fremont, espouses the
General, her husband, in the military
disputes which agitate the Department
of the West, reminds us of the pertinaci
ty displayed by her father, Col. Benton,
when in command of a regiment of vol
unteers in the War of 1812, and under
the orders of Gen. Jackson. At one
time they had a personal conflict in - the
streets of Nashville.
Too BAD.--The following statement
appears in the Atlas, London weekly
journal : We understand that one of
the most efficient modes by which the
American government attracts our
young soldiers in Canada across the
frontier is to send over a deputation of
the fair sex, armed, in addition to their
personal charms, with pockets fail of
dollars, twenty of which the are author
ized to offer to each soldieths a premi
um for desertion.
Feiv people except those who
have been at the spot have any idea of
the immense quantities of heavy guns
and ordnance stores which are accumu
lating at Cairo. Car-loads and steam
boat-loads of colnmbiads, mortars, rifled
cannon, shells, and ammunition of every
kind are daily forwarded to that point
to be in readiness for the grand move
ment down the Mississippi which will
take place before long.
eir Ezekiel Woodman of Chelsea.
Massachusetts. "got off" the following
prize conundrum at Boston last week
"Q—Why is a waterlily like a whale?
A.—Because it conies to the surface to
blow"--which so tickled "a committee"
that Ezekiel received a hundred dollar
gold watch as a reward of merit.
Term o—On_e 3Dcalar a Year_
RETURNED.-Dr. Russell, of the Lon
don. Times, who went out to die West
to shoot prairie hens, returned to Wash
ington as savage as a meat-axe, in con
sequence of having been jerked up by
some Illinois Dogberry for gunning "on
the sabber-day." It seems the Docter
went out for a little sport on Sunday, in
the town of Wilmington, Will county,
Illinois, and was promptly "bagged"
himself, by a county Squire, and made
to fork over $3O fgr violation of the Sun
day law. One-half the amount of such
fine goes to the school fund. So Mr.
Russell can solace himself with having
contributed to that extent to the free
school system of Yankee Doodledom.
Another little circumstance happened
to the Doctor on his western trip. which
perhaps did not tend to improve his tem
per. While in the cars at Racine, Wis
consin, surrounded by all his parapher
nalia [of sporting traps—guns, equip
ments, &c.—be was approached by an
old man, who said : "Mr. Russell, we
are glad to see you out here ; we hope
you will fin plenty of game ; but, Mr.
Russell, you musn't make game of the
American eagle.! You musn't make
game' of the American eagle I"
A KENTUCKY GIRL : Capt. Claypool,
living about ten miles from Bowling
Green is commander of a. compapy of
Home Guards. He had the guns of his
company at his house, but, on hearing
of the arrival of General Buckner at
Bowling Green, he sent them to Colonel
Grider's camp in a neighboring county.
The next day, a squad dispatched by
Buckner, called at his house, and, find
ing only his daughter, demanded the
guns of her. She answered that they
were not there, and if they were, she
wouldn't give them up. They banded
her General Buckner's order for the
weapons, and she tore it up before their
faces. They went to the bucket and
each took a drink of water, whereupon
she threw the rest Of the water out of
bucket and commenced scouring the
dipper. They concluded they could do
no better than to go back and. tell the
general._ about their adventure and get
fresh instructions.
SMART Boy.--A Western New York
correspondent of an exchange mentions
a neat little speech of a "four-year old."
His mother was hugging and kissing
him, and said to him, as mothers will
say, "Charlie, what makes you so s*eet?"
Charlie thought a momont—he bad been
told that he was made; out of the dust of
the earth—a happy thought struck him,
and he answered with a rosy smile. "I
think, mother, God must have put a lit
tle sugar in the dust—don't you?"
THE WAGES OF SIN.—Ex-Secretary
Floyd, by whose stealings the Southern
rebellion was set up in trade, is abused

mond Enquirer, because be demands the
names of certain correspondents who

The Enquirer actually taunts Floyd
with his crimes, and affects to speak of
him with contempt on account of the
very acts which •furnished the South
with arms.
isr Gen. Wool is expected shortly
to proced to the west on a tour of in
spection. The idea started by several
journals that the moment General Wool
arrives within the Department of the
West he will take the command * of it
because he outranks Fremont is a great
mistake. He does not outrank Fre
mont. Wool is a Major General by ber
vet, and only draws pay as a Brigadier
General. Fremont is a Major General
in rank and pay, and was made such in
the regular army by President Lincoln
some time ago.
tom' A case occurred in Buffalo late
ly, in which a husband who refused
to pay a bill for some $ll2, brought
against him by a dry goods dealer, for
articles furnished his wife, was sued.—
The husband's defense was that he had
never ordered the articles, that he had
never received them, and that their pur
chase was unnecessarily" extravagant on
the part of a woman married to a man in
his circumstances. The jury considered
the defense a sound one, and gave a vir

BY MRS. A. P. MAURY, M. D.
Who can stand unmoved and witness
pain and sufferibg in a child, especially,
if it be one of years so tender, as to be
unable t 9 give utterance to the distress
that it feels in intelligible sounds. Poor
thing ! we involuntarily exclaim. Is
there nothing to bring relief? No pan
acea which will drive away the tears.
and in their place, send joyous smiles ?
Oh yes ! there is the medical man; full
of books, and wise looks. He has pass
ed the portals of the first Medical Col
lege in the land, with its honors attach
ed to his name. Send for him, anxious
mothers. Send speedily. So he is sent
for, and soon he enters the door, and
stands by the side of the sufferer. Per
haps it is teething. He finds it feverish,
breath rapid and hot, face flushed, un
natural heat in the head and in the ab
domen, symptoms of diarrhea, extremi
ties cold, and dreaded convulsions, men
acing in the back ground. lie knows
these symptoms often accompany the
period of teething. They .are little dis
turbances, which every mother ought to
understand and regulate of herself. She
has the simple remedies right at hand.
no family, sick or well, think of living a
single day, without every..thing that is
needful to bring about a healthful state
of things. But the mistaken Doctor,
the student of books and of great mien,
not of greater Nature, alas for humanity !
he does not comprehend the crowning
excellence of his mission. He does not
teach the people to live of themselves,
for did they understand this,:then he and
his mast famish, or he must seek another
calling, So.heleads you to no fountains
of truth and of health. He finds you in .
the dark, and he opens no curtain lest
the light should. enter,, - but instead be
opens his pill-bags, (dark enough, there
truly) and thence takes medicines—pois
on, and these .1.11 - i'imother isiinstructed
to introduce into the:systern of her child.
It is true they may allay its conscious
suffering for a time, That opiate may .
bring sleep, but do you know that it is
a sleep of the same nature, as tlialwhich
never wakes? 4 — you know. that all
drug medicines ere Poisons, and give re
lief from suffering, only asothey kill the
sufferer ? Not always instantly to be .
sure, but as you take, them into your
system, so do you take from your life,
days, months, or Years, so will you have
more of suffering, and more of physi
cal and mental imbecility while you do
live.
NO. 13.
The truth is, the more intelligent of
those who administer drugs, have little
or no confidence in 'them: They do not
say so to you, but nevertheless they do
say so. Said Chandler R Gilman, M. D.
Prof. of Obstetrics and Medical Juris
prudence in the New York College of
Physicians and Surgeons, in a lecture
before a class of medicalstudents, during
the winter of 1861, speaking of the dis
eases of children, "Gentlemen, I have
not half as many remedies as I had when
I was a young Doctor ; I use drugs 'very
sparingly, and I have much better suc
cess. now than I ever had before."—
Moreover, he said he believed he had
killed many childre'n, though he amid
tot tell whose in particular.
But to return to the child in hand.—
A gentle bath, such as every good nurse
knows how to give, will work wonders.
Keep the extremities warm, the head
cool, and if there is undue beat in the
abdomen, apply a compress wrung out of
cool water. Balance the circulation, and
if you can understand this and do it, then
you can do as much as any M. D. in
Christendom.
Now permit' me to whisper (aloud) a
few words on Hygiene, by observing
which your child hardly need be sick.—
Look well to its food, allowing no grease,
nor seasoned food. Give it milk, and if
of the proper age, add bread and ripe
fruits. Let it eat only at regular peri
ods. Give it a good chance to sleep,
both day and night. Do not fill its little
crib with feather pillows, they are a
fruitful source of disease, but let its bed
be of straw, hay, moss, or hair, and fre
quently renewed. During the day give
it the sunlight, during the night, the
moon-light, the star-light, or no light at
all as the case may be, but have no awl
ficial light, unless positively needful.—
Let it have pure air to breathe, not that
arising from pent - up rooms, not that
poisonous with the flame of tobacco, but
let it be of the same quality as that which
God made for us to breathe, and placed
" out of doors." Let its dress tend to
its comfort, not to impair its freedom.—
Briefly, fit the dress to the child, and do
not attempt to fit the child to the dress.
A daily bath, of amildly cool tempera
ture, followed by vigorous hand rubbing
for a minute or two,. will bring re
ward. Remember the truthful saying,
" Cleanliness is next to Godliness."
Oh, if mothers hut realized the royalty
of their mission, and' would make them
selves intelligent and practical on these

in darkness," for the*Adestroying angel
when commissioned.to.go forth with the
rewards of disobedience, would passthem
altogether, or but brush them with the
tip of his expanded wing.

gir Shut not up a brood of evil pas
sions iu your bosom ; like enraged ser•
petits, they will bite their cage.
