THE MEN WHO FELL IN BALTIMORE
BY JOHN 'W. FORNEY
Our country's call awoke the land
From mountain height to ocean strand.
The OM Keystone; the Bay State, too,
In all her direst dangers true
Resolved to answer to her cry,
For her to bleed, for her to die ;
And.so the 3 marched, their flags before,
For Washington, through Baltimore.
Our men from Berks and Schuylkill came—
Lehigh and Mifflin in their train
First in the field they sought the way,
Hearts beating high and spirits gay.
Heard the wild yells of fiendish spite,
Of armed mobs on left and right ;
But on they marched, their flag before,
For Washington, through Baltimore.
Next came the Massachusetts inen,
Gathered from city, glade and glen:
No hate for Sduth, but love for all,
They answered to their country's call.
The path to trim seemed broad and bright ;
They sought no foemaA and no fight ;
As on they marched, their flag before,
New England's braves through Baltimore.
But when they showed their martial pride,
And closed their glittering colamns wide,
They found their welcome in the fire
Of maddened foes and demons dire,
Who, like the fiends from hell sent forth,
Attacked these heroes of the North :
These heroes bold, with travel sore,
While on their way through Baltimore.
Fromercry stifling den and Street,
They rushed the gallant band to meet—
Forgot the cause they came to save=
Forgot that thoSe they struck were brave—
Forgot the dearest ties of blood
That bound them in one brotherhood—
Forgot the flag that floated o'er
Their countrymen in Baltimore:
And the Great song their son had penned,
To rally freemen, to defend
The banner of the stripes and stars,
That makes victorious all our wars,
Was laughed to scorn, as ,madly then
They greeted all the gallant men
Who eamc from Massachusetts shore
To Washington, through Baltimore.
And when, with wildest grief, at last,
They saw their comrades falling fast,
Full on the hell-hounds in their track
They wheeled, and drove the cowards back.
Then, with their hearts o'erwhelined with woe,
MeaSured their progress, stern and slow ;
Their wounded on their shoulders bore
TO Washington; through Baltimore.
Yet, while New England mourns her dead,
The blood by treason fully shed,
Like that which flowed at Lexington,
When Freedom's earliest fight begun,
Will make the day, the month, the yea],
To every patriot's memory dear.
Sons of great fathersgont before, '
They fell for right at Baltimore !
As over every honored grave,
Where sleeps the "unretOrning breve,"
A mother sobs, a yOung wifd moans,
A father for his lost one groans,
Oh! let the people ne'er forget ;
Our deep, enduring, lasting debt -
To those who left their. native shore
And died for us in Baltimore.
THE GOOD WIFE.—She never crosses
her husband in the spring -tide of his an
ger, but stays till it be ebbing water;
and then mildly she argues - the matter,
not so much to condemn him as to ac
quit herself. Sure men, contrary to
iron, are worse to bo wrought upon when
they are hot ; and are far more tractable
in cold blood. It is an observation of
seamen, that if single meteor or fire
ball falls on their mast, it protends
luck ; but if two come together (which
they account Castor follox), indicates
good success. But sure in a family it
bodeth most bad when two fire-balls—
husband's and wife's anger-come both
together.' -.
Or A New Hampshire editor was la
tely robbed while traveling. How much
the thief made by. the operation may be
discovered by the indignant epistle he
immediately sent to his victim, returning
the pocket-book:—"You - oniserable cuss,
here's your Pbeliet-book. I don't keep
no such. For a man dressed as well as
you was to go.round with a wallet With
noting' in it but a lot of newspaper
scraps, - a" pair of wooden combos, two
newspaperstamps, and a pass from a
rail-road director, is a contemptible Im
position on the public. As I hear you

alleged, been adulterated by dealers with

making it very exploSive. Several an

The effect of such unscrupulous conduct

HOME
Thank God for Home and all the jays
that cluster round and make it of all
pleasant places the most pleasant.—
, There are languages of the earth in
which there is no word that corresponds
to " Home." The French have no word
like it now. The old Romans did not
know the term. Many who have the
word itself are ignorant of its meaning.
And it is not easy to define it. I like
the definition which the child gave when
asked by a friend " What is Home ?"
Looking up at : his mother; he replied
Where she is." "Be it ever so humble
there's no place like home !" For its
pleasures it does not depend on spacious
balls and costly furniture, or extended
landscape, or surrounding acres. It may
not be in the most fashionable quarter
of the town, nor in a rural region where
the mingled beauties of forest, river, hill
and dale make the place an Eden.—
Where LOVH is there is noes. In the
domestic. circle, where the Sweet bonds
of holy affection unite all hearts, each
seeking the other's happiness, and striv
ing, by mutual acts of self-denial, to
make the rest, more blessed, there is
" the only bliss of Paradise that escaped
the Fall." x*
In the centre of the circle sits the
mother, radiant With maternal pride and
hope and joy; around her play the
children whom God has given, and the
fond husband and father looks on with
serene and holy comfort,. as he- blesses
God that he is the happy possessor of
such a home. This is the picture that
poets and painters draw. And there
are millions of such groups in this land
to-day. Wealth and honors may not be
part of their possessions ; but greater
riches than all the treasures of Egypt,
are the friends, and companions of one's
fireside; the lights of his house, the joys
of his heart. This is a world 'of labor, a
life of care, a time of toil. We have our
business and burdens, all of us.. Few of
the many, none of the useful, have ceased
to work, while yet they have health and .
strength. But he who returns from hie
daily labor, tired and vexed and worn,
and perhaps disappointed and anxious
and. desponding, and finds a bottle where
smiling faces and cheerful voices and
loving lips receive him, surely may ex
claim—and if he has a heart to appre
ciate and enjoy the bounties of the bless
ed Giver of all good, be will exclaiin,
"The lines are fallen unto the in pleasant
places ; yea, nave a goodly heritage."
Not even the shadows of great sorrows
can darken such a home, The changes
of this uncertain world may work wond-'i
rous revolutions in the circle, but if the
heart be true, no change can work the
ruin of domestic peace. . Reverses of
fortune may overtaln the honse and',
dry up the streams of wealth, and all the
comforts that wealth brings to the door
(for it is.very inconvenient to be poor,
and doubtless very pleasant to be rich)
but love triumphs over circumstances,
and makes the cottage happier than
lordly balls, for "better is a dinner of
herbe where love is, than a stalled ox,
and hatred therewith." " Better is a
little with the fear of the Lord, than
great treasure and trouble therewith."
Death itself may spread its wings . over
the sanctuary of our affections, .ad hide
from our sight the dearest. object of
domestic love, but death is not destrliC::
tion. Love sanctifies :such sorrow and
makes
. the memory of the departed
" sweet, though mourn'fut to the soul."
And when-afflictions yield, the fruits:Of
peace, and joy in God, the home that
was despoiled and blighted; becomes .
fragrant with the odors of Heaven, for
angels have been there,
Honored by the custom that prevails
so widely among us, of . gathering Me
scattered Members of the household
on -Thanksgiving-day around the social ,
board, to bless God in the midst of His
.good gifts, for the comforts' of a happy
home. It is a feast of love.. Long may
it continue .to be one of.our Most c'her
ished, hallowed, conservative institu
tions! And each of every one that
comes to the old homestead, from the
-country or-the city, or the sea, and-Aits
'down with sire or mother, or wife, or
son; or daughter, or brethren and sisters . ,
or- friends, rejoicing. in the bounties of
Providence, and above all in love that
makes home nn. antipast of HEAVBN shall
say, "The- linos are fallen unto me in
pleasant- places, yea, I- have a goodly
heritage." " "

HEARTS FOR SALE
As we were strolling through the
market on Saturday morning our atten
tion was. attracted by a pile of hearts
(beef's hearts, fair ladies) that were ex
posed for sale ; they were stacked up in
the form of a pyramid, and as we stood
looking at them—all shriveled up as
they were—and marked up with white
pencilings of muscle and deep seated
lines of blue color, where the veins ran,
we couldn't but commisserate the brutes
whose brief lives finally had to yield to
the block and executioner's axe. We
were jostled in our mood by a passer by,
and turning around we saw a pale-faced
woman tugging along with a basket of
provisions, and looking, alas ! as if the
fates had dealt more with malice than
with love toward her. Stratigp that it
should have suggested it, but as we
moved on we thought to 'ourselves, are
those hearts we have just left, the only
hearts in the world for sale; are , there
no human ones borne to share compan
ianship with immortal souls; that are
bartered away day by day for the gold
and silver of the earth.
Let us see. A young maiden is just
coming to occupy that . sphere in life
when her affections are to be sought and
won ; generous, and full of young hopes,
she listened to the tale, told tremblingly
of her first lover's love. The words fall
upon friendly soil, and she pledges her
affections away forever. Why should
the pleasant dream be disturbed and
broken up? Also ! he is poor, and must
put his hands doWn to the earth and
grapple with the things thereof, is order
to live, while those who stand as her
nearest guardians for weal or woe, have
resolved that she shall marry only where
wealth, and glitter of False life are to be
found. And so this heart goes down on
the auction stand, knocked off to gold,
and sent to dwell in Wretchedness
through splendor, in death though in
life—one heart has been sold.
A young man starts in life, proud but
poor ; he is taught by frequent remind
ers that when he does he must make an
"available match," that love in a cot
tage will do for the rich to speculate
upon, but for him, he inast garage respec
tability by the standard of money, and
that a true, noble soul, is an extravagant
luxury unless it caapay its own way.-
But he breaks down. when he meets liar,
.whose soul comes straight to his, as the
'needle flies to the magnet, and "under
the rose" he tells the old tale of love,
which islold.not in vain. Ah, but she
is now poor, and pa and ma have picked
out a queen of Ophir, who can buy a
palace with her own gifts, away up on
the ladder of earthly prosperity, a fit one
for " our proud kingly mind," and so,
between threat and command, tears and
expostulations; the fruit in the green ear.

Heaven help you when you begin to
regard marriage as only a respectable

staid old friends, begin to look about
you for some very respectable wife.—
You may admire her figure and her

very elm' mention which has been
made by some of your penetrating friends,
that she has large expectations. You
think that she would make a very capi

to any public honour, would she make
you blush for her breeding. She talks
well,•exceedingly well; and her face has
its charms, especially under a little ex
citement. Her dress is elegant and
tasteful, and she is constantly remarked
upon by all your friends as a " nice
person." Some good old lady, in whose
pew she occasionally sits on SundaY,
thinks she would make a fine wife for—
somebody.
She certainly has an elegant figure ;
and the marriage of some half dozen of
your old flames warns you that time it
slipping, and your chances failing. And,
in the pleasant warmth of some after
dinner mood, you resolve—with her im
age, in her prettiest palisse, drifting.
through your brain—that you.will marry.
Now comes the pleasant- excitement of
the chase ; and whatever family dignity
may surronnd' her only adds to the
pleasurable glom of the pursuit. Yea
give an hour more to your toilette, and
a hundred or two more, a year, to your
tailor. All is orderly, dignified and
gracious. Charlotte is a sensible woman,
every body says, that you believe it
yourself. You agree in your talk about
books and churches and flowers. Of
course she has good taste, for she ac
cepts you. The acceptance is dignified,
elegant and even courteous. '
