My mug is broken, my heart is eml I What woes can fate still hold in store? Tiio friend 1 cherished a thousand days Is smashed to pieces on the floor ! Is shattered and to Lumho gone, I'll sec my mug no more ! Relic it was of joyous hours Whose golden memories still allure? When coffee made of rye we drank, And grey was all the dress we wore! When we were paid some cents a mnnili But never ask >1 for more. In marches long by day and night, In raids, hot charges,^saock* of war, Strapped on the saddle at my back This faithful comrade still I bore? This old companion true and tried, I'll never carry more Bright days ! when young in heart and hope The pulse leaned at the words 'La (Jlorit AVhcn the grry cried?*? hot fight ! Why we have one to four!" When but to sec the foetnen's face Was all they asked?no more. From the Rapidan to Gettysburg Hard bread' bchiud 'Hour Krout' before This friend went with the cavalry And heard the jarring cannon loar In front of Cemetery II ill? Good Heavens! how they did roar. Then back again, the foe behind, Back to the "old Virginia shore," Some dend and wounded left?some holes In flags the sullen grey backs bore ; This mug had made the great campaign And we' 1 had gone once more ! Alas ! we never went again ! The red cross banner, slow but sure " Fell back"?we bade to sour Krout (Like the love of I.enore) A long, sad, lingering farewell? To tase its joys no more. But still we fought and nlo hard bread Or starved?good friend cur woes deplore 1 And still this faithful friend remained Riding behind me as before? The friend on march, in bivouac, When others were no more. now oil wc drove tin: itorseman blue In summer bright or wintry frorc! IIow oft before the Southern charge Thro' fiehl aud wood the blue bird.- tore! I'm " harmonized" to day, but ^iink I'd like to charge once more. Oh yc9 ! we're nil "fraternal" now i Purged of our sins we're clean aud pure, ! Congress will " reconstruct" us so n ? | But no grey people on that door 1 I'm harmonised?"so called '?but long To sec those times once tnoic. Guy days 1 the sun was brighter then. And w.1 were happy though >o poor ! That past comes back a- 1 behold. My shattered friend upon the tloor, My splintered, useless, ruined mug, From which I'll drink no more. IIow many lips I'll love for aye, While heart ami memory endure, Ilave touched this broken enp and laughed? IIow they did laugh?in days of yore I Those days we'd call a "beauteous dream Tf they had been no more!" Dear comrades, dead this many a day ! I saw you weltering in your gore After those days amid the pines On the Kappuiituiuock shore! When the joy ot life was much to me. But your warm hearts wore more! Tours was the grand heroic nerve, That laughs amid the storm of war? Souls that "loved much" your native land, Who fought ami died therefor ! You gave your youth, your brains, your arms, Your blood?you had no more ! You lived and died true to your flag! And now your wounds tire healed?but soro Are many hearts that think of you, When you have "gone before," Peace, comrade! tiod bound up those forms They are "Whole" forevertnore ! Tlmtn litw (l.lu 1.?W I . --I - 1 IILb loo!?the rnuu we ull adore? That cavalier of cavalier*, Whose voice will ring no more, Whoso plume will float amid the storm Of battle never more ! Not on this idle page I write That name of names, shrined in the core Of every heart! peace! foolish pen, Ilush ! words so cold and poor ! His sword is rust; the blue eye dim, His bugle rounds no more! Vet even here write this, lie charged As Hupert, in the years before, And when his stern hard work was done, His griefs, joys, battles o'er? Ilis mighty spirit r >de tli - M. rm, . And led his men once more ! He 1 ics beneath his native sod, Where violets spring <>r frost is hoar; nc rocks not?charging : madrons watch Ilis raven plume no more, That smile we'll sec, that voice we'll hear, That hand we'll touch no more. Mj' foolish mirth is quenched in tears ; Poor fragments strewed upon the floor, You are a type of nobler things, That find their use no moreThings glorious once, now trodden down? That make us smile no more! Of coumgc, pride, high hopes, flout hearts, Hard stubborn nervo, devotion pure, Beating his wings against the burs, Tlie prisoned eagle tried i soar! Out liuttclicor? So poor to do it t overt nee, Now when it flames no niarc ! But it is glorious in the dust. Sacred till time shall he 110 more, Sparc it, fierce editors, your scorn, The dread Rebellion's" o'er!

Why is an Archbishop like the Secretary ol War? He regulates the canons. A lady's dressing table is perhaps called a toilet because it is there most ol her toil is generally performed. Why are young ladies, travelling with baggage, like trees? Because their hearts are in their trunks. We all have two educations?one of which we rcccivo lroni others ; another, und the most valuable, which we give oursclvos. A celebrated character, who was surrounded" by enemies, used to remark : "They are sparks which, if you do not blow, will go out themselves.!' An Irishman describes metaphysics as "Two men talking together, one of them trying to explain something he knows nothing about, and the other unable to understard him." A coteinporary, announcing the marriage of an editor, says he was always of the opinion that editors had just oh good a right to starve some man's daughter as any one c!sa.

A clergyman at the cxntnination of the young scholars of his Sunday school, put the following question : ' NY hy did the children of Israel set tip a golden call ?' 'lJeeause they had not money e nough to purchase a cow.' Whatever fiiilts Voltaire may have had, he certainly showed himsclfu man of sense when lie said, "The uioro married men you have, the lower crimes there will he Marriage renders a man more virtuous and more wise." A wag says of a w< man : To h? r virtue we give love; to lnr hoauty We give ad miration : to her whims we give indulgence; to her tongue we give liberty ; to her wants wc give our purses; to her pers u we give ourselves; to her hoops, ti e whole lavement. 4 l ather, did you ever have anoth r wile besides mother?'

A descent was made on a body of smug glers at lh-i?tol, Mass., on Sunday. 11 c floods were in a barn, where tin- oflivets found twenty eight barrels ol runt cove-ed ttji und. r tbt bay, and about ninety thousand segues, in boxes abnut the si/-: of a sugar box, and sixteen di inijuhns of liquor. Some wag, who ought to be condemned to r. ad the sj ecehe.s of Suinin r and Ste ven- lrt>m beginning to end, lately sent to the President a copy of a medicinal playcard, htteii 1 "Shuttered Ciui.-titutii lis restored.
