A POOR EXCUSE.
The Knickerbocker furnishes the following
" Poetical Epistle" from J. G. S., to.a.hache
lor friend urging him to enter at once into the
connubial state. He thinks it is " the sover
vign'at thing in creation :"
Don't tell me you haven't got time,
That other things claim your attention;
There's not the least reason or rhyme
In the wisest excuse you can mention ;
Don't tell me about "other fish,"
Youa duty is done when, you BUY 'em:
And you'll never relish the dish',
Unless you've a wowArt.to "fry 'em."
'You may dream of poetical fame,
But the story may'chance to miscarry ;
'The best way of sending one's name
To ,posterity, Charles, is to marry.
And here I'm willing to own
(Aftemberly thinking upon it,)
very,much rather be known
Through a beautifu son, than a sonnet.
iDon't be frightened at qeurious stories
By gossiping grumblers related,
Who argue that marriage a bore is,
Because they've known people mismated;
Such fellows if they had their pleasure,
Because some “bad bargains" are made
Would propose as a sensible measure,
To lay an embargo on trade
Then, Charles, bid your doubting good bye,
And dismiss all tantastic alarms;
I'll be sworn you , Ve a girl in your eye
That you oughthave had an your arms;
Some beautiful maiden, God bless her!
Unencumbered with pride of with pelf,
Of every true charm the posseisor,
And given to no fault but yourself.
To procrastination be deaf!
(A caution which came from above„),
'The scoundrel's not only ""the Thief
Of Time," but of Beauty and Love.
Timis delay not a moment to win
A prize that is truly worth winning ;
.Celibacy, diaries, is a sin,
And sadly prolific of sining.
ff could give you a bushel of reasons
For choosing the "double estate;'
It agrees with all climatesand seasons,
Though it may he adopted to LATE.
To one's parents , tis (galefully) due;
Just think what a terrible thing
I TwOuld have been, sir, for me and for you,
if ours had neglected the ring !
Then there's the economy (clear
13y poetical algebra shown;)
If your wife has a "grief or a fear,"
One half, by the law, is your own.
And tie to the " joys," by division .
They somehow are doubled, 'tis said
(Tough I never could see the addition
Quite plain in the item of bread !)
Remember. I do not pretend
There's anything perfect about it,
But this Pll maintain to the end.
Life's very im-perfect without it,
''['is not that there's "poetry" in it,
(As doubtless there may be to those
Who know how to find and to spin it,)
But PJI warrant you excellent prose
Don't search for an angel a ininutei
For suppose you succeed ; in the sequel:,
After all, the duce would_ be in it,
For the match would be highly unequal;
The angels, it must be confessed,
In this world are, rather uncommon,
Amhallow me, dear Charles, to suggest,
You'll be .better content with a woman.
Then, Charles, be persuaded to wed,
For a sensible fellow like you ;
It is high time to think of a bed ,
And a board, and fixins, fir two.
Don't think'about "something else" first,
A poet "almost in tire sere !"
.A "major!"—and not married yet!
Yuu should 4o "nothin" else for a year !

THE MAIDEN'S PRAYER.
She rose from her delicious sleep,
And put away her soft brown hair,
And in a tone as low and deep
As leve's first whisper, breathed a prayer
Her snow white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast,
Just Swelling with the charms it hid.
And 'rem her long and flowing dress
Escaped a bare and snowy foot,
Whose step upon the earth did press
Like a new snow flake white and mute ;
And then from slumbers soft and warm,
Like a young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed that slight and matchless form,
And humbly prayed to be forgiven.
0, God, if souls unsoiled as these,
Need daily mercy from thy throne ;
If she upon her bended knees,
Our holiest and purest one :
SLe with a face so clear and bright,.
We deem her some stray child of night ;
If she with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day, in her young years,
Must kneel and pray 'for grace from thee,
What far, fur deeper need have we !
flow hardly, if she win not heaven, •
Will our Wild 'errors be forgiven !

LANCASTER, JUDO 24, 1862. 4 ,
Dear Col:
Enclosed I send you a
"slip," that came to me in a letter all
the way from the Sandwich „Islands,
which contains an interesting history of
" Soldier life in Missouri," during the
first three months of the present war.—
The author of the history is Mr. Ralph
Delamater Zublin, a son of Llewellyn
Zubliu—a native of Marietta ---one of
the fast friends of my juvenile days.—
Indeed it rarely happens that a corres
pondence between persons continues so
long as that between the latter individ
ual named and myself, commencing when
he first " went away to sea,' in his 'boy
hood, (1829) and continuing up to the ,
present day. The writer of the history
gives his own experienbe and that of his
compatriots in arms, and it wilthe seen
that they differ somewhat from' the ex
periences of the Pennsylvania "three
months' men." As the names of both
father and , son may be somewhat famil
iar to some of the readers of the " Mart
ettian," who may feel an interest in all
that relates to them, I have thought the
slip of sufficient interest to have a re
publication in the columns of your pa
per, and more particularly so, because it
reflects a phase of the campaign in
which the gallant Gen. Lyon lost his
life, somewhat different from any other
view we have had of it; and also exhib
its the relative " pluck " of the mon he
had under his command.
These individual experiences are al
ways interesting, and will constitute the
richest material to future generations,
for a real and impartial history of the
present unhappy war; giving, as they
do, a more minute and truthful account
of the feelings, the sacrifices, and the
sufferings of " the men who do all the
hard work "as well as the patriotism
and physical endurance which enabled
them to do it.
If the pious and charitable religionist
has any extra prayers to offer up, it
seems to the they ought to be offered
specially in behalf of the common sol
dier ; and in order to insure their avail
ability on a material plan, the hearts of
men ought to be in the palms of their
elevated and extended hands.
Yours, truly,
• S. B. R
SOLDIER LIFE IN MISSOURI,
DUBUQUE, lOWA, Oct. 6, 1861
A long time has pissed since my hast
ily-penciled letter, inforthing you of my
being on the way to the war, was sent,
off.. The gap in writing could not, un
der the circumstances in which I was for
some mouth's placed, be helped---writing
was generally impossible, and had letters
been dropped into post-offices' on a
march, it is not likely they -would have
got out of the State.
It is not an easy matter to give a clear
idea of my, aumwer'a tramp—it was a
bard one—and I am now astonished at
my endurance to the end. When speak-
ing of myself, you will of course under
stand that thousands of others were in
the same " fix."
The '" First 'Regiment lowa Volun
teers," to Company " I " of which I be
longed, left _Keokuk, near the Missouri
line, in May, going to Hannibal, in that
State, where we took possession of the
St. Jo. Railroad. Altar stopping awhile
at Hudson; Macon county, the junction
of the North Missouri Railroad with the
St Jo. and apparently settling "Secesh"
in the neighborhood, orders came at
taching the regiment to Gen. Lyon's
brigade, then lying at Booneville, on the
Missouri River. We 'went down .the
North Missouri Railroad about 60 miles,
and then took the woods. The men had
ten day's rations, and crossing the
try from Monroe, through Randolph and
Howard counties, arrived at Booneville
a day after the battle there between )4
on and Jackson.
Delis
Soon came that Southwest We
i souri was in arms against the Union,
when we started on another tramp down
through the State. We left Booneville.
on the 2d of July, and in the following
three weeks our winding course exceed
ed 600 Miles. Never did July weather
blaze more fiercely; and to make the
case worse, we were short of food, often
without it entirely for some.time. We
passed from Cooper county to Pettis,
through Johnson, Henry,' St. Clair, Ba
tes, Cedar, Polk, Dodge and Green
counties, encamping near Springfield;
and making a junction with Col. Sigel,
who had just fought his way from Car
thage, in Jasper county. His force was
only about 900 men—ours rising 35004

MARIETTA, JITITA:YI2, •.1802 -
,';
In this long march, the army perform
ed quite a feat—in mi opinion, at all
events. Our commander, hearing that
Sigel was hard pressed by the enemY,
and anxious to succor him, started us
from the Osage River, near Osceola, and
before we stopped, in 20 hours, made 47
miles. A fraction over two miles an
hour
• don't look bigbut what with
crossing creeks and rivers, often breast
deep—dragging artillery over the Ozark
M ountains, (the horses had given out)
—melting weather and nothing to eat—
the march was certainly a great one.—
Every man that day worked like mad, in
the hope of reaching and hemming in
Jackson. But we were disappointed.
We stopped awhile at Springfield,
where the army again ran out of provis
ions,
(which means three crackers and a
a small piece of pork to a MAD per diem.)
Two weeks we lived on what was called
" chicken-feed." At length Gen. Lyon
started a mill grinding corn, and then
we had " mush," with an occasional cake
of meal and water, for two weeks more.:
the cake, however, was a luxury, which
accounts for_ the - sparing manner in which
it was furuished—high liiririg being, pro
bably, considered unwholesome to sot- ,
diers. ...41uslt diet (don't name milk—
nectar to us !) cannot be very nourishing,
for under it we soon became much ema
ciated, and almost unfit for duty.
Now, a portion of the force made' an
other move we started for Forsyth, -in
Taney county, where " secesh" was said
to be doing much mischief. On this
march I broke down, for the- first time,
dropping in , the road like a dead man.—
One of my'comrades carried me out• of
the ranks, when, after the dust of the
passing column had subsided, I revived,
but deliriOns. Fortunately, a couple of
women came along in a light wagon, an .d
seeing my condition, kindly took me to
Springfield. I went to the hospktal,
where a tumbler of, spirits was given me,
which had such an'enlivening effect that
I gained the camp again, 12 miles away,
in four hours. We laid out that night,
having no tents, and at 3 o'clock in the,
morning pushed, on, and made during the
day 3 ) 'miles, the last four in " double
quick"— had a fight, too, or rather skir
mish, for the scamps did not stand long,
though their position (Forsyth being on
top of a mountain) seemed strong enough'
to bid defiance, with their number, to
four times ours. Up the bill the men
scrambled, yelling like (Indians, and rag
ged, wet and dirty, from wading the
creeks, looking worse thee savages. The,
enemy fled, but were kind enough to
leave suppers cooking and many . tablea
set, with the victuals yet warm--none of
which we left, to spoil.. Returned to
Springfield next day.. Nobody killed
yet.
After a short rest, some 1500 of us
took a turn through the mountains in
Lawrence and Barry counties, and had
a couple of skirmishes with the advance
of McCulloch's army, which web quietly
moving from Arkansas on Springfield,
in three divisions, said to be 10,000 men
each. A prisoner'to our company said
so, and we laughed at him for a joker.—
But it Was soon" found that a large force
—certainly over 20000—really was
coming. "'Ben." and his friends had
acted cunningly:—the skirmishes we had,
were only got up by them to engage our
attention until they could surround us.
We made quick time back to Spring
field. In the two fights we had 5 men
killed, and 8 or 10 wounded—the enemy
not less than '7O killed, for that was the
number we buried when our 111011 were
interred.
Gen. Lyon's army was yet under 6,000
men. It was known that nearly or quite
that number were coming against it.—
Lyon called a council of his officers, who,
it was said, advised an attempt to retreat
to Rolla in Pulaski county, 115 miles.
The General, however, concluded to
fight, and soon put us into it. The rest,
as a whole, no doubt; you know—the
Union papers generally had ricconnts not
varying much from the fact, so far, as I
have seen them.
The " lowa First" only got fully into
the battle when ordered to take th'e plaCe
of a Missouri regiment, which' was al
moat exhausted with the desperate work
of driving and keeping back the strong
enemy pitted against it. It is said that
Gen. Lyon 'had expressed a fear about,
the lowas when . they should be brought
into action. But just before he was
killed, his mind we . lightened of that
weight—he .specially complimehted us
highly.. 3

Our term of service was up fear days
before the Battle of Springfield. We
remained•for the fight, and had it—and
Imust be allowed some pride of having
belonged to the "First lowas."
Rebel reports claimed the victory—
but if they had it, why did they not.take
our fine train, worth a million and a half
dollars ? We had . 450 six-mule teams,
and with other valuables, a large amount
of money from• a bank, for safe-keeping:'.
Besides, why did the rebels burn their
tents and so much camp equipage ?--
And, finally ; how came we to, take hun
dreds of their horses.?, The fact is, they
retreated eight 'miles, or more so fa t
that they .had no time to ,look. after au
thing but their wounded, 'Lyon was the
attacking party, and rather suiprised
them. The rebel encampment was in a
beautiful spot, on both sides of Wilson's
creek.
•I saw. Gen.,,Lyon soon after he re
ceived his first wound. He was in ad
vance, limping towards us, his Splendid
charger having been killed. He was ex
cited'. brandishing. a holster pistol, and
calling'ont to' the lowas to "come on !"
The General pasied through our lines to.
get another horse, and was soon after
wards killed.
,Fearing that the enemy, so much
stronger than we were, might cut us off
from St. Louis, we retreated to Rolla,
saving a train, the •rebels must have ta

our regiment went to St. Louis, where I
laid down my musket, having served Un

and then he eased his feelings by certain
forcible ejaculations. A contraband
who heard him, gives a very good de
scription of how the white-haired old
man moved about in the midst of the

t he, " but de way dat old map, Gin'Fal

LOVE IS THE TuEmx.'?---Sane or in
.sane, love is always the. theme of the po
etic ; aild,sometimes it would puzzle an
adept to distingaish, amid the singular
latitada of thought and expression, con
sidered allowable in these days, to decide
which poetry is written inside and which
outside the Lunatic Asylum. The Utica
Asylum; for instance, possesses a poet,
whose lines, outraging as they do all
common sense and coherence, 'jingle - so
wonderfully like some of the more pop
ular verses of the .day, that are really
entertaining. For instance. the crack
`brained Apollo addresses his inamorata
thus
And then he adjures the fair mature to
elope with him on a " lawyer's ,dray," in
order that , they, may " gallop o'er the
sea" together, and
—"feast on codlin chops,
Pea-green prawns and lollipops;
Hunt the skipper, catch the croup,
And fill our shoes with myrtle soup."
Whether. the asylum-poet was insane
in fact or prepared his verses as a bur
lesque upon the insanity of poets gener
ally, we are unable to decide'; 'mit he
has done his work ludicrously well,—
When he wrote in an impassioned mo
ment :
c , Gaily the tiger -cat tuned his guitar,
Serenading the magpie with feathers and tar,"
he expressed a word of tender emotion
,in a rough manner ;• but when he added
that the low-born animal

for Bound sense, it rarely comes put up

• AT 'WILL PAPA" SAY ?—The Alms
tion is a very good one, young' woman.
What will papa say ? If he says "Yes,"
. accept the- young gentleman's hand at

papa-says." No," distrust Your own Jiidg
ment, whether you are in love or not,
and then make up your Mind. But don't
make—what ? Why, don't marl'' , 'and
make a fool'of yourself: Of course; ad
vice like this is sometimes mot half so
pleasant to take as -the 'young gentleman
would be. Very likely; but"a year
hence you will relish it better. Young
gentlemen, generally, _;are very nice
things to look at. They seem so amia
ble, so *affectionate, so ,Confiding, so very
devoted,,in the eyes of young ladies.—
But appearances are rather deceitful.-
- There isn't a prettier outside on any
creature existing than on, an anaconda
and a boa-constrictor; yet • both crush
their victims, to , death while embracing ,

There are unreasonable papas, foolishly

love must follow marriage at - any rate,
as . the' rainbow follows the sunshinY

kind should be permitted to sacrifice a
daughter's . happiness on the shrine of
Mammon. We won't say that, in such
cases, we should consider - .it very, very
wicked; for a daughter • to consult her
