THE SENTINEL.
Far In advanc ' of companions and friends,
A sentinel watt hed on his dreary post,
The earth was covered with darkness and gloorr.
The fourth relief had been there and was gone,
Leaving him sad and alone.
For an hour or more he had stood at his post,
Peering out throngh the dark. with vigilaut eye.
His ear all alert, to catch the first sound
Of an approach from the legions beyond,
Then covering miles of ground.
But all remained still, and quiet as death,
In accord with the gloom that prevailed,
And he turned his thoughts. to home and his Pet,
To recent disasters his country had m:t,
And his ,yes with tears were wet.
But fa-ter far than a pencil might trace,
Did the causes that led to this soldier's grief,
Rush through his mind, arousing despair,
Banishing hope in a cause that was dear,
To the warm heart beating there.
Four years he 1 al suffered in pain and di re s,
O'er the hardships his luved ones endured,
His own fruitlcNs toil, in a cause that was just,
The suce-s that attended the foe in his lust,
Awoke in his heart mistrust.
Sherman, he knew, had passed o'er the home,
That had sheltered his Ellen and May;
And nothing but woe, had he left in his wake,
Not even a triui:et, for little May's sake,
Or aught, that his men could take.
He keenly felt that the cause had been lost,
That his country had struggled in vain ;
Tho' he fough' and bled for justice alone.
The world stood aloof, with the spirit of one.
,Vho rejoiced i-i an evil doom.
W ith his hands on hi, treast, he uc tc . u
That God would watch over his wife and child;
And plead that relief to his country be sent,
A tempered wi':d to the reed that was bent, ,
Bestowing on all content. B..

the multiplicity of business which
crowded upon a Sheriff at term
time, lie was led to the door of a

of thirty, who, by the way, had

they were filled rescnlbled arrows
wiICih only invited a "beau" (par
don the pun) to do full execution.
After afew commnon-pace remarks.
"3Madam1," said the matter-of

A deeper blush than usual man
tied the cheeks of the fair widow.
while the glance of her downeast
eves were centered upon her beauti

She wit h equal e:idor replied;
'"Sir. the attachment is recipro

Elms my soul ! i'm thirty-niiie
i o-day ; six feet inl my stockings,
black eves. curly hair, tall and
Si raighmt as a cedlar of Lebanon, and
still a bachelor ! Well. it's an in
(epeiidelt life, at least-no it
isn't. either ! Here's these new
gloves of mine full of little rips,
string. of one of my most faultless
liekeVs, nice silk handkerchief in
my drawer wants hemming, top
button off the waistband of my
pants ; what's to be done ? How
provoking it is to see these mar
ried lpeople looking so self-satis
fied and' consequential, at the
head of their families, as if they
had (lone the State a great ser
vice. Why, as to children, they
as plenty as flies, in August, and
about as troublesome ; every al
lev, and court, and garret swarm
ing with them ; they're no xarity,
and any poor miserable de-(I beg
pardon !) wretch, can get a wife,
enough of them, too, such as they
are. It's em. ugh to scare a man
to death to think how much it
c)sts to keep one. Young folks
have to begin now where their
fathers and mothers left off. Silks
and satins, ribbons and velvet,
feathers and flowers, cuff-pins and
bracelets, gimeracks and folde
rols ; and there's no help for it in
my case-for iff married a wo
man I lovedl, and the dear little
thing should ask me for my scalp,
I should give it to her, I know I
should. Then there's the tapes
try carpets, and mirrors, and so
fas, and ottomans, and damask
curtains, and pictures, and crocI
cry, (and you must look at the
subject in all its bearings) little
jackets and frocks, and wooden
horses and dolls, and pop-guns,
and ginger-bread ; don't believe I
can do it, by Juniper ! But then,
here 1 sit, with the toe of my best
boot kicking the grate, for the
want of something better to do
it's coming awful cold, dreary
weather, long evenings, can't go
to concerts forever, and when I
go, my room looks so much the
gloomier when I come back, and
it would be cosy to have a nice
little wife to chat and laugh with.
I've tried to think of something
else. hut I can't ;if I look in the
fire, I am sure to see a pair of
bright eves ;even the shadows on
the wall take fatiry shapes. I'm
onm the brink of ruin-I feel it. I
shall read my dloom in the mar
ring~e list before long-I know .1
shall. 1Ieaven help me, for there's
no living with a b.etterdiae, so
they say ;:ad may I he refused if
. can1 get along" without oneC.
A SLt( ur MIsTAKE.-A lady in
LafaymKe, Indiana, recently in
prprinjg her Sunday dinner put
some beans in a pot to bake. In
a hurryv to get to church, she
in:'vertently put her hymn book
ini the pot, and w rapped a piece of'
pork in her pocket hiandkerchief
anld L"ok it to churlch with her.
Iier mortification was intense
uipon dIiscoverming her mistake

'Well, but what. does it agree

~It agrees with-with-ii all

A lit tle girl of three years very
