She began to droop when the chestnut hi Shone Uko lamps on the pale blue sky ; She faded while cowslip and hawthorn bl And the blytho month, May, went by. I carried her into fte sun-bright fields, Where the ohildnn were making hoy ; And sho watch'd their sport asun angel mi Then I knew shotnust pass away. With tho first white roses I deckod her ro I laid them uponjaer bed ; Alas ! while roses still keep their bloom, My own sweet flower lios dead ! I felt that the parting hour was noar, When I heard herjwhisper low "Take mo once more, my father dear, To see my roses grow. " Tako mc once more to the sunny pool . Where the dear white blies sail, And belo w their leay es, through tho crystal The buds lurk mildly pale. " Take me onco more to the waterfall, That seems blithe as a child at play ; Where tho ivy creeps on the mossy wall, And the fern-leaves kiss thc spray." So Tboro her along through the summer And she looked with a dreamy oyo At the brook, the pool, and the lilies fair, And oho bade them all good-bye. Next day my darlings voico was gone; But her yearning spirit eyes Told how she longed for a nameless boon, And love mado by guossing wiso. Again I boro her beneath the trees, Where their sofVgreen shadows lay ; But a darker shadow stole o'er my child, And at sunset she passed away ! -? ?

Ratified September 21, I860. From the Southern Presbyterian. Deceased Soldiers. COLUMBIA, S. C., July 17, 1866., To the Clergy of South Caxolina : When, at the close of the year 1864, I was appointed to collect and record the names of all from the State who had perished in ser vice, it occurred to me that if an appeal were addressed to the clergy of all denominations, they could give me thousands of names, inas much as their ministerial labor r had made them, no doubt, acquainted with every be reaved family not only in cities, towns, and villages, but also in the dispersed settlements of every district. The appeal was immedi ately prepared and sent to thirty-one Episco pal'ministers ; one responded ; to ninety-five Presbyterian ministers ; two responded ; to two hundred and thirty-one Baptiut ministers; five responded, and of these one sent but one name and another two names. Not being ablo to obtain a list of the Methodist clergy and their post-offices, (there being then no such list,) I sent an appeal to thom through the columns of their journal published in Au gusta. I know not if this reached them. Perhaps not, as I am not aware that a single minister of this wide-spread Church made any response to the appeal. It mt.y be that a few lists of names without signature came from them or other ministers. I am sure this failure should not be ascribed to unwilling ness and indifference. The same request was mailed to forty-three of the Senators and one hundred and twenty-one of the P.epresenta tives who had appointed me to this work, and only two responses were received, and one of these contained but a single name. At that time the army of Sherman was on its march from Savannah, and in a few weeks all the lines of communication with Columbia were completely broken up ; so that if a ay wished then to send rae information, it. was hardly possible for them to do so. It is due to the Rev. E. A.Bolles, Bible Agent, that I should hero thankfully mention thc interest he has taken in procuring names for me. I desire now to renew my request for the assistance of the clergy, because tl ey pene trate to every homestead in the S ?ate, and can with little trouble gather many names of the dead. Communication by mr.il is still very imperfect. Only a small number of post-offices have been re established. lu inauy sectious the people cannot be reached by advertisements in newspapers, and perhaps cannot be made aware of the agency to re cord the names of deceased soldieni by any means so readily as through the pastors of churches. There is, too, something almost sacred in the object we have in viow, that. commends it to every sympathising heart, and renders it appropriate that I should so licit the aid of the clergy ; as thongh the cloud of battle were still hanging over our lines, and bleeding veterans brought to the rear, and whilj the surgeon mournfully turns his heud, we hy them dying at their chap lain^ feet. And from bita wo world seek the memorial of an obituary or the briel epitaph. If tor each congregation and its neighbor hood a paper be prepared with the following headings, viz: Name in full; District; Batik ; Company ; Regiment and arm of ser vice ; Day, month, and year of death ; Cause of death : Where he died, and age; iud if an opportunity be given for recording the names, etc., it is probable that in a short time many names will be obtained which otherwise might never Lave beeu preserved. Instead of closing my appeal at thia point, I am induced to add a few remarks lo show more forcibly thc necessity of assistance in order to make thc Record complete. I esti mate that about 10,000. soldiers from South Caroliua died during the war. These were, for the most part, vigorous young men. As a poople we may sadly adopt tho expression ascribed to Pericles, when in a funeral ora tion ho referred to thc deceased young sol diers of Athens : " The spring has been struck from our year.1' Our youths went firth at the call of their State, buoyant and full of hope, and with the assurance that if they fell, their names would be honorably preserv ed at home. Such expectation has ever sus tained tho spirit of thc patriotic soldier. It was amidst the bloody civil conflicts of an overgrown republic that Cicero wrote,Xemo ii tupia inn sine magna spe immortaliiatis sc pro patria offtrret ad mortem." Herodotus says of thc Spartans who fell with Leonidas, " 1 have learned the names of all the three hundred." Bu{ with us there is moreover a solemn obligation to make a record cf our fallen sons and brothers, because we publicly promised theta that this should be done. I have thc names of about live thousand who perished. The gentleman who preceded mo in this work had, \yith the advauti:.ge of extensive mail facilities and of official ri-ports from, the army, collected more than seven thousand uames. Not one of those came to me from his large collection, Tho v/hole work had to be !>. gun anew. All letter;, that reached me in consequence of my first appeal in. January, lSu'5, have-been saved. But there is reason to believe that many mailed about that time never reached me. I know this to bc thc case with reports from the army then in the field. While the overwhelming ruin at home produced these losses of what had been prepared and sent for record, the sud den breaking up of our armies in Virginia and North Caroljua caused the loss, destruc tion, or abandonment, to a l?rgc extent, of company and regimental papers; and at tho 6ame timo the records of deceased soldiers kept in the Second Auditor's office in Ilieh moud were consumed*, on the evacuation of that city, by the burning of the R. R. Depot. The only source of information now left is our own people and our returned soldiers. With the help of all, wo may possibly re; cue from oblivion thc names of thc brave men who have fallen. In this the clergy oan give me efficient aid, if they will ; and I believe I shall nqt appeal to them in vain. WM. J. RIVER::. A DANT.r.r.oi;? CASK-Some 20 yean r.go. a farmer'.'' br.m in tho vicinity of Worcer.'.^r was struck by lightning, and burned to the ground. Many of thc citizens had gone to thg fire, when ? fop, well strapped imd dicknd, with hi? cap on-one side of his head, met a celebrated doctor and accosted him this wise : " Can you, ah, tf ll me, doctah, how far they have succeeded in extinguishing Iho conflagration of thc, ah, unfortunate yeoman's barn ?'' The doctor eyed the individual attentively, dropped his head, as usual, for a moment, and then slipped his finger and thumb into his vest pocket, took out a couple of pills a"]d handed them to him, saying: u Take these, sir, and go to bed ; and if you donot feel better in the morning, call at my office." A- man named Raigsly dropped dead, as was supposed, last Sunday, at Norwalk. While being shaved in preparation for the grave, bisdee was cut with the razor, when the blood flowed, and ho quickly arose, prit on his garments, and went to his business a live- man. The Light at Home. The light at home ! how bright it beams When evening shade around us fall; And from the latice far it gleams To love, and rest, and comfort all. When wearied with the toils of day, And strife for glory, gold, or fame, How sweet to seek the quiet way, Where loving lids will lisp our name. When through the dark and stormy night The wayward panderer homeward hies, How cheering is the .winkling light, Which through the forest gloom he spica ! It is the light of home, he feels That loving hearts will greet him there, And softly through his bosom steals The joy and love that banish care. The light at home ! How still and sweet It peeps from yendor cottage door The.weary laborer to greet, When the rough toils of day are o'er ! Sad is tho soul that does not know . The blessings that its beams impart, The cheerful hopes and joys that flow, And lighten up the heaviest heart. --? ? ? THE CONSERVATIVES AND THE SOLDIERS HAVE A Row IN OHIO-THE LATTER WHIP PED.-The Cincinnati Gazette, a Radical' pa per, gives the . following account of a distur bance at Warren, in Ohio, while Mr. Vai?as digham was speaking there some days ago : When the disturbance ceased, Vallandig hatn said, much excited, " I have borne that insult and outrage for twenty minutes ; I don't intend to submit to it any longer ; at the same time shaking his Sst in the direction of the hooting. M If there are not enough Democrats in the crowd," he continued," to take these men and clean them out, I will not speak another word." Cries of" Move them !" ''Kick them?out!" ?rc, arose on all skies, and for a few minutes there was sharp fight ing, ending in a complete rout of the soldier boys, as they proved to be. Vallandigham resumed, saying he had nev er, except twice before, advised his friends to resist molestation of their meetings. He had said if Democrats disturb Republican meetings, they deserved to be punished on the spot ; and the rule ought to work both ways. The boys, it seems, had only retired for a council of war ; for in fifteen minutes they re turned and renewed their offensive demon strations. Again they were driven back, and again returned, during which manocuvering, many were knocked down . and. dragged out, in many cases their own men suffering as badly as the soldiers,. for no one could tell friend from foe.
