LOST-SOMEBODY'S CHILD
ST THOMAS MACXELLAR
&met:May's child is lost to-night !
I hear the bellman ring;
And the earth is frozen hard and white,
And the wind has a nipping sting.
I know my babes are long a-bed,
A tender, motherly hand
Laying a blessing on every head
After their evening prayers were said—
•'God keep the slumbering band !
Yet somebody's child is lost, I say,
This night so bitterly cold.
Borne innocent lamb has gone astray
Unwittingly from its fold.
"Bellfriati I ho, bellman, whose child is lost?"
And I grasp my staff and cloak ;
the ringer over the Word had cross'd
Before I tardily spoke.
The Neighbors soon gather, and far and near
We pry into ditch and fen,
.
Bark ! an answering shout I hear—
'The rover in found again.
Ali I mother, fond mother, your heart is light
With Joe to your bosom bound;
But many a child is lost to-night
Who'll never, no, never be found.
Ay!, somebody's child is lost to-night,
While the wind is high and hoarse,
And the scudding ship, like a bird a-fright
Flies shivering on its course.
She suddenly drops in the yawning deep
Asl never to return ;
She leaps atop the watery steep,
A-creaking from stem to stern.
Bold well, good bark ! for a score of lives
Ostnprise thy costliest freight;
Else loving mothers, and maids, and wives
Will ever be desolate.
And well she holds, with a single sail
Outspread to guide her way,
While all the furies of the gale
Around her bulwarks play.
The sailor-boy,. with a fearful heart,
Sighs for.lies distant home,
And the hasty tears from his eyelids start,
And drop in the briny foam.
in the months agone a father sigh'i,
And a mother trembled with fears;
But that father's law had he defied,
And he scorn'd that mother's tears.
The pitiless blast now mocks his grief
And a huge and hungry wave
Dears him away beyond relief,
To the depths of ocean grave.,-
The Ifrand is blazing upon the besirth,
The work of the day 13 done,
And the father's heart runs over the earth
In search of the wandering son.
"Oh! where is our poor boy to-night--
This High t so bleak and wild r"
The mother shuts her eyes to the light,
And inly prays for her child.
The busy needles all cease their flight,
While their heart's say, " Where islie ?"
They dream not he has sunken from sight,
Down, down, down in the, sea.
The mother may pray, and she may weep
Till she weep her life away,
But never more will she find the sheep
That wilfully went astray. • -
Somebody's child is lost to-night!
Oh sorrow is on the day
When a virgin's fame is marr'd with blight
That cannot be cleansed away.
An humbled family sits in tho.gloom,
Bemoaning their hopelesS shame—
Would that she were safe in the tomb
With honor upon her name!
While deck'd in garments of satin and sin,
The fallen daughter, I wren,
is scorch'd with a fever of heart within,
Though reigning as wanton-queen.
0 merciful Father! is this the child
Thy hand created so fair,
With eyes where simple innocence smiPd,
' And coy and maidenly air?
Is this the promising morning -flower,
The brightest its rivals among?
Is this the bird that sung in the bower
With sweetest and merriest tongue?
Alt me ! this child is more than lost ;
Far her low-fallen form, •
On sin's voluptuous surges test,
•
Will prrish in passion's storm.
And - the mother may 'sigh and she may weep
Till she weep her lif e away,
But never more will she Lind the sheep
That wickedly went asttay.
Somebody's child is lost to-night—
A widow's only son, •
With brow as light and eye as bright
As you ever looked upon.
"And he will be my staff and stay"—
Her words were inly spoken—
" When I am old, and my hair is gray,
And my natural strength is broken.) ,
Her motherly soul with pride o'erran
As the lad grew up to the estate of man,
And she said, in her joy,
That nobody's boy
Could match her paragon by a span.
Time stole along, and her locks were gray,
But her heart had lost its pride,
For the man had wander'd so far astray,
'Twere better the boy had died.
A loathsome. vile, and gibbering thing,
Stung by the fatal shill-worm's acing,
Despised of man, ern teaming God,
And gnasinq at the avenging rod
wherewith
AM passions scourged him sore,
Till, fainting, be could feel no mote.—
Ah I somebody's child was lost in him
When he took up
The wassail cup,
And aipp'd perdition from its
Then his manhood died,
And the beautiful boy
Of his mother's pride
Spill'd in the sand the cup of her joy.
Instead, she quatf'd.
A wormwood draught,
A sorely-smitten woman;
' Yet loved she still,
Through every ill,
The child so scarcely human.
In weariness and watching! often,
Unmurmuringly her grief she bore,
unwrapt in shroud , of coffin,
Her son lay dead before her door.
Her sorrows bad come so thick and fast
They cluster'd round her everywhere,
Till, reason utterly overcast,
The darkness hid away her care.
Wet oiltirnes would she ask for one
Long gone from tome, her beautiful son ;
And while he chided Ida long delay,
She would sigh t and whimper, and prey.
'That,motber will 'sigh, and she will weep
Till she weep her life away;
;But never more will she find the sheep
That wickedly Went astrisy.

END OF THE JIM LANE EXPEDITION.
Letter of Lane to the Kansas Legislature.
The following document has been re
ceived direct from Leavenworth, which
will end all inquiry as to the General
Lane expedition :
Leavenworth, Kansas, Feb. 26, 1.862.
There should be a perfect understand
ing between you, the local Representa
tives of the people of Kansas, and you'r
Representatives in the national Con
gress. To this end I make the following
statement :
On the 20th of January I left Wash
ington, expecting to take command of
a column designed to move in four sep
arate bodies through this State south
ward.
It was understood by the Senate, and
expected by the country, that a satis
factory arrangement would be made with
Major General Hunter. Such was my
conviction.
I caine to Kansas, therefore, intend
ing to arrange matters with him ; to re 7
sign my seat in the Senate to you from
whom I had received it,- and then to
notify the President of the acceptance
of the commission of Brigadier General,
which was not to issue until the receipt
of such notification.
I made every effort which self-respect
would permit to effect this arrangement
with Major Gen. Hunter. I failed.—
The correspondence, when published,
will prove indeed that I could not have
served under him in any capacity, how
ever subordinate, without degradation.
I had no military ambition beyond
that connected with this expedition. I
desired to surround the institution of
slavery with free territory, and thus
girdle the cause of the rebellion itself.
Without fault on my part, as I believe,
I have been thwarted in this, the cherish
ed hope of my life.
The sad yet simple duty only remains
to announce to you, and through you to
the people of Kansas, my purpose to re
turn to my seat in the United States
Senate, a purpose declared to the Presi
dent through a telegram of which the
following is a copy :
Leavenworth, Kansas, Feb.l6, 1862.
All efforts to harmonize with Major
General Hunter have failed. lam com
pelled to decline the brigadiership,
I have nothing further to . say. I trust
you will find me as ever faithful to the
State and the country. All lam and
all I have shall now as heretofore, be
devoted to them.
Wishing you health, happiness, and a
safe return to your constituents,
I remain your friend and servant,
3. H. LINE.

TRIFLING WITU vu Dummy.—A young
man who, would not be guilty of an, in
delicate word to a lady, and much less
an uncalled for assult upop one, was pas
sing along a street in a Western
• city,
when he came in front of a retail dry
goods establishment. Having an eye
for dry-goods, he stopped to admire a
cloak of the latest basque style, which
was displayed, as he thought, upon a
dummy or wire frame, rather neatly bon
neted and fitted up in Wont of a show
window. Seeing a friend advance, the
young man called his attention to the
article of dress, and playfully gave the
dummy a nudge,, remarking, "I
• wonder
if the machine is alive I" "Phansy his
phelinks" as he saw the suppesed dum
my turn suddenly around, and face him
with, an expression of.astonishment and
indignation resting upon the unmistak
able lineaments of a very handsome face.
The machine was alive. Our friend
blushed, stammered and explained.--
The young lady forgave and stepped in
to her carriage. Our friend maintains
a downward attitude upon all dummies
hereafter.
GETTING ROUND A LANDLORD.—"What
do you charge for board ?" asked a tall
Green Mountain boy as be walked up
to the bar of a second rate hotel in New
York—"what doyou ask a week for board
and lodging?" "Five dollars." "Five
dollars that's too much ; but I s'Pose
you'll allow for the times .I'm absent
from dinner and supper !" "Certainly ;
thirty-seven and a half cents each."—
Here the conversation ended, and the
Yankee took up his quarters for two
weeks. During this time he lodged and
breakfasted at the hotel, but did not
take either diner or supper, saying his
business detained him in another por
tion of the town. At the expiration of
two weeks, he again walked up to the
bar, and said : "S'pose we settle that ac
count—Pm goin' in a few minutes."—
The landlord handed him his bill.—
"Two weeks board at five dollars—ten
dollars." "Here, stranger," said the
Yankee, "this is wrong—you've made a
mistake; you've not deduCted the
times I was absent from dinner and sup
per-14 days, two meals per day; 28
meals at 34 cents each ; 10 dollars and
50 cents. If you've not got the fifty
cents that's due to me, I'll take a drink,
and the balance in cigars !"

ar When Surgeon White went on
board the Hazel Doll, on her arrival at
Cairo, with the wounded men from Fort
Done!son, he found a man whose arm
had been amputated and which needed
bandaging. The boat was bunted over,
but no material could be found that
would bind the leg of a bird.. The mat
ter was about to be abandoned in des
pair when female ingenuity came to the
rescue. A lady quietly disappeared in
to a state room, and soon emerged with
greatly diminished amplitude of form,
beaiing in her hand some skirts which
she blushingly presented to the doctor
to be converted into bandages fok the
wounded soldier.
G ir Virginia is already ruined. With
a debt exceeding forty millions before
the war begun, with, her soil alternately
threatened or overran by opposing arm
ies; compelled, to support a standing
army of her own, and at the same time
to feed .a host of gratuitous auxiliaries,
exhausting herself in erecting forts and
batteries, for the tinitedStates hereafter
to occupy, deserted by the population,of
nearly half her counties, rich only in ne
glected fields and unmarketable negroes.
What has she to expect short of regen
eration by the transfer of her soil .to
more suitable and loyal owners.
sr There is a lady at Deerfield, N. H.
one hundred and three years old, (Mrs.
Jenkins.) She is smart and active, makes
her own bed and knits stockings. Last
autumn she attended a military muster,

Raszt. Winz-Wonz.ixas.--The Eng-
Valk Parliament has published, a long ar
gument from Yancey, Rost, and. Mann,
.Commissioners of the C. S.A., dated in
August Just, to Lord Russell. -They
boasted,:uf course, of their power, rich
es, unanimity, and glorious prospects—
expected Illinois and other Free States
to aid if they did not join them—alluded
fo " DTr. Lincoln's usurping Govern
ment"—denied that Slavery is the cause
of Secession, and assured that Slavery
is safe under Lincoln—refused to dis
cuss the Slavery question=but begged
England to keep them •for the sake of
Free Trade, especially as the, cotton
picking_' time was at band. Lord
Russell replied with a firm declaration
of neutrality.
A leading London paper says the
Rebel Government have recently offered
England, as a condition of its recognizing
the Confederacy and raising their block
ade, "Free Trade for thirty; years, pro
hibition of foreign slave trade, and free
dom to all colored persons born after
the treaty was signed'" The London
.paper, criticises most keenly this offer
—requiring England to run all the risk
and,expenses England to pay, in ad
vance, to powers of notoriously bad
character, for goods never delivered, and
no security that they ever would be de
livered ! The Repudiators of money
and of oaths can hardly fool John Bull.
To what degrading shifts the Rebels
prostitute themselves in the hope to
win the favor : of the "proud Abolitionists
of Great Britain I"
In America,
,the Rebellion is •waged
solely upon the plea that Lincoln will
war against Slavery, which they declare
is the corner-stone of their edifice. In
England, they declare the Union shields
Slavery, and offer to abolish it them
selves ! Duplicity and lying by the

D BYOUBED BY WOLVES.—The English
papers contain a letter dated Bucharest,
Wallachia, January 28th, which states
that in consequence of the extreme se
verity. of the weather, the wolves have
been more than usually daring in their
attacks. A woman named Madame
Carisoglus, of great beauty,.and belong
ing to a leading family, was returning to
Buchurest in her sledge, when the horse,
becoming frightened, overturned the
vehicle, and the unfortunate lady was
cast on the ground, and soon devoured
by the wolves. A pedlar was attacked
by a peck of these ferocious animals, but
before lie was killed, two mounted gen
darmes arrived.and set on them. They
were frightened away for the moment,
but notwithstanding the appeal of the
poor man, the gendarmes left himwound
ed on the road, and shortly after the
wolves returned• and finished his suffer
ings. Ten or twelve other cases have
been reported. •

LONGEVITY Or THE MAETAI
A letter from Rome, alluding to a late
rumor of the Pope's death, says the
Mastai family, to which. the Pope be•

he has two brothers and a sister older
than-himself—Count Gabriel, aged 82 ;
Count Gaetano, 78 and Countess Isabel

Holineis, died at the age of 84, and the
Countess Catherine, his.mother, died at
the age of 82,*hile his grandfather, the
Count Hercules, lived to the age of 96.
It may consequently be averred with
truth that they are a loog.lived family.
A WIFE 'MANES TWO ATTEMPTS UPON
HEN HUSBAND'S . LIFE.—The. Cincinnati
Enquirer relates the particulars of a
double attempt by o wife to take her
husband's life. The names of the par
ties, who are respectable and reside at
Newport, Ky., are suppressed. The
difficulny between them arose from the
refusal of the husband to give his wife
$2O, whereupon she poisoned his coffee
with strychine, (which fortunately failed
of its effects,) and afterwards attempted
to dash a bottle of vitriol in his face.--
Steps have been taken to procure a di

GEN'L. GRANT.—The characteristic of
General Grant is his modesty. It is
exhibited in his general deportment and
also in the signature, which he gives
to all his official papers--thus, U. S.
Grant. The puzzle is with a great many
what is shadowed forth by U. S. One
suggests' that it means United States
Grant; another, that it represents Union
Saver Gract ; while a third, deriving
some countenance from his answer to
Gen. Buckner, insist that the' letters
stand for Unconditional Surrender Grant.
This ought to be satisfatory, inasmuch as
it has passed into history.

The girl whose praises I have sung,
With pen, with pencil, and with tongue,
Said " No"—and I felt Rat.
Now, I will neither roar nor rant,.
Nor my hard fate deplore :
Why should a fellow look aslant,
If one girl says she won't or can't,
While there's so many more!
I strove my best—it watvld not do ;
I told her she'd regret;
She'd ruin my heart—and chances too,
As girls don't like those fellows-who
Their walking papers-get.
