Who was he who, great as good,
In the breach supremely stood,
A simple mnn, a soldier true,
When, around his country's shrine,
Oathcr'd thrcat'ning war and drew
'Gainst our waiting stalwart few
Half -a hundred thousand men.
Southward pour'd from hill and glen
Rank on rank and line on line,
Till the clttud of linv?c grew
uiuekin Heaven's sight, and burst
In a storm of gum? accurst
Whore the swarming hosts came down
'Gainst the fair beleaguered town?
Then our greatest soldier came
At the setting of the sun!
Pierced the doubtful battlo's dam6,
And with devastating blow
Struck the hostile standards low,
And each broken regiment
Back through midnight chaos sent.
Red with blood and pale with shame!
So the stubborn field was won!
Ye saw him, mountains of Luray,
When banded battles spent its pride
In ono long week of dolorous fray
Against his slender ranks in vain,
Till like a lion, gnllcd at bay,
Vex'd by the hunter's cries and stir,
He turned and poured the bloody charge
Of dauntless men at Winchester,
And as the tempest lifts''tho main
Swept Port Republic's flaming marge,
And Northward cVcr, and afar,
Roll'd back the. wrcck-cnenmbcr'd tide
With storm of swift, disastrous war ! j

A day of rest?a time of pause!
And lo! once more the menaced cause
Called unto him, her chicfest son,
From warring Riohmopd, where the brunt
Of battle shook the city's front!
Then, answering, came our trusted one
From Shanandoah'b rocky glen,
Articulate in roar of gun
And cheers of greatly daring men
And roll of fierce, avenging drums
And din of.eluro'rous war that filled
With-sudden fear tho hostile rank,
Till higher, higher, higher thrill'd
The peal of battle on the flank,
And seaward swept the foomcn down,
And jublilant grew the rescued town,
While all our soldiers with acclaim
Threw up their caps with fierce hurrah,
And cheered and blest his simple name,
Crying, "Behold! our greatest comes!

ORIGINAL STORY.
A Fact, not a Fiction.
BY DAISY DALE.
(Cvnchuhtl.)
"Mr. Sternum had invested the bulk of his
property in a fund, which. w??tt - fcw j^y6
ago he could not touch. >Tow it \a his, and
may he yours. Ho is a noble-hearted man ; tells
me ho has loved you from your earliest acquain
tance; he thinks your affections are not pre
engaged ; and becoming your husband, he will,
aid your mother and brother. Thus may your
aged futher fall quietly to rest, if you will but
consent." "Edward, I lore you well, and only;,
can I train myself to feel for you, only a sis-^j
tcr'8 interest V
"Your word is my law my own darling brother, -j
For you reign in my heart, as can never another." ,
? r. J
The strong man writhed in ngony j yetf, ere
the morning dawned, he framed a brother's re
ply. How mauy unwritten tragedies . are
locked up in memory's cabinet, pride only
yielding up the keys to inexorable death N jj
"We never heard
Of any true affection, but 'twas nipt
With care, that like the caterpillar eats
The leaves of the Springs' sw< ctcst book; the rose."
By a previous arrangement, in a few weeks,
I met my employer in New York, to give a
partial account of my stewardship. The busi
ness required an iminediate return.
Mr. S tor man happened to bo in the city.
Ho gave some particulars of Uncle's death,
and offered, a kinsman's sympathy. Said he
hoped to win my approval for a speedy mar
riage with "my dear little sister," who had
promised hersolf with that condition. He was
then purchasing an outfit for his homo. I
wished him due happiness, charged him to
prize my treasure; and adding, good b,
hastened to the Southern depot, to pass my or
deal.
I met ray aunt and Alice, and our tears wore
mingled afresh, over tho memories of our fallen
J'oad. My Alice and I, we walked to the
grave, where first I apken of love: and
there I shrouded my idol hope, and Luri9^ lfc
deep in my heart. She, my gentle sister, told
of the death-bed scene, where our father had
blest his Edward, and given his Alice away ;
and ere the spirit departed, had thanked God,
for His goodness to all.
Light sorrows will unloose the tongue, but
ngony is dumb ! Here was his grave ; he, who
had blest my childhood with a father's care;
he, who had loaned upon my integrity with all
a parent's confidence; he it was, who unwit iug
ly barred my soul from true companionship
forever 1 I pictured his death-bed with its
sound of stifled grief; tho feeble, fluttering
pressure of his hand, the fond look of his glaz
ing eyo, resting upon me from tho threshold of J
eternity. I bowed over his grave and groaucd
out my forgiveness.
Assured and stronger, I withheld not my
consent to an early marriage, and mindful of
her comfort, I even advised it, rather than con
sign her to a partnership with my poverty.
She heeded my counsol. I left the next morn
I ing, for I had not yet the courage to enduro
that mockery to iny happiness,?a wedding ;
but "bearing a lifo long hunger iu my heart.
We had loved one anothor more than all the
world beside, and now the bond was broken for
time, if not for etornity.
Whon Mr. Stcrman next pressed his suit,
she told him of her early preference; his ro
ply was, "But, Alice, time and a trustier arm,
will make you wholly mine; I too have lovod
another, but whom 'first wo lovo, we seldom
wed/ " Sho placed her hand in his, and took
the holy vows; while ho promised to bo a
guido or support, a stuff, or a rulo. She
thought this tho path of duty; and God-roliant
that merry-hearted girl muffled her sighs, and
smiled in the hope of growi: g happier.
Not congeniality of disposition, but suitilari-.
ty ,pf taste, and adaptability presided at this
match. True, they nach had been trained in
the fear of God, and each studied to win daily
the others esteem. 'J imc, that college of tho
soul, bus harmonized their home, and blended
thejr interests and pursuits. They hear the
voiced of childhood, and together do they
kneel, and pray for wisdom to shield those
tender ones, from the ills they have Been and
felt ft. G?d heed that prayer. I
'Undo Edward has seldom seen the little
ones.. He yet pursues sonic unremitting in
dustry abroad, and loves "woo Alice" as him
self, he says, "His life is quite isolated, and
his manner reticent. His books arc his con
stant recreation, nor has he ever formed another
attachment.
"A love so vehement, so strong und pure
As neither age can chill, nor time can cure."
He ever loves the young and cheerful; he sits
among their games, mid sometimes joins in
t|ieir sport. Courteous without deceit; brave,
?^ithout vico ; and generous without ostcuta
tiou ; ho is a satisfaction to himself, aud a
ljlcssing to society.
He sometimes wonders at Iiis peculiar expe
rience "and disappointment; but that deed of|
silent love and magnanimity lights up in his
heart, a conscious peace, which God bestows ;
and this makes Edward Roland?in our eyes
? true hero.

The Policy of the Republican Pitrty.
We publish n portion of the speech of lion.
'.George H. Pendlctou, delivered on the 30th
tilt., at Madison, Ohio. He puts the doings
of the Republican party upon the record, in
the following eloquent manner :
/,- I had occasion not long since to arraign tho
Republican party, and its policy, as I have
been doing to-night, and an able and influen
tial Republican paper published in the neigh
borhood in which I live, said, '''what remedy
does Mr. Pendlctou propose '! He exhorts us"
to stand by the Constitution of. the United
States; but we do not know exactly what he
means by that." Gentlemen, there ia exactly
tho 'difficulty. They do not now know, and
they never did know what it was to ''stand by
the Constitution of tho United States.'
[Laughter and cheers.] They know what it is to
be faithful to their prejudices?faithful to thoir
whims?faithful to their party interests; but
they never knew for one moment what it was
to be faithful to the Constit?tion of the United
States.
In 1S20 they opposed the establishment ol
the Missouri Compromise line. In 1851 they
opposed its abrogation. In 1S(50 they opposed
its re-enactment.
Iu 1840 they refused the use of State jails
and State magistrates to execute the Fugitive
Slave law, on the ground that the, return of
fugitives was the duty of the Federal Govern
ment. In 1850 they refused to vote a more
stringent Federal law, ou the ground that the
return of iugiL.ycs waa the duty of the State
government*. In 1856 thoy passeu personal
liberty bills, on the ground that tho Stato
should not assist the Federal Government; and
in 1SG1 they repealed all laws on the subject),
on tho ground that neither State nor Federal
Government should execute tho constitution.
[Cheers.]
Iu 1S58 they had possession of tho State
governments; they magnified States' rights,
adopted the resolution of 'OS and '09 at their
conventions, exalted the idea of confederation
I as against unity, and prepared to array the
Slates in armed conflict with Federal authori
ty. In 1SG2 they had possession of the Fede
ral Government; they denounced State rights,
railed the Kentucky resolutions treason, and
have, as far as is in their power, by more brute
force, as well as by legislation, reduced and de
graded the Stato governments. [Applause.]
In 1854 thoy declared "that no war could ho
right, and no peace could be wrong;" that if
the South desired to change their political re
lations aud form of govern incut, their right
could not bo denied. In 1802 they declared
that the trinity of our salvation was "taxation,
emancipation and war."
In 1850 thoy declared that the inteiest of
tho country required the restriction of suffrage
and that the German, and Irish and Swede
ought to he disfranchised. In 1807 they de
clared that the interest of the country requires
its extension, and that it must be given even to
the negroes.
In 1850 Mr. Chase, then Governor of Ohio
asserted: "We have rights which the Federal
Government must not invade; rights superior
to its power, on which our sovereignty depends;
and we mean to assert these rights against all
tyrannical assumptions of authority." In 18(57,
Gen. Hayes who. 1 am sorry to say, is elected
to be Governor of Ohio/ oBserta that tho States
have no sovereignty whatever.
In 1804 they assorted that-the President had
power, by proclamation, to emancipate four mil
lions of slaves; In 1867 thoy' deny that he
has power* to remove a member of his Cabinet.
[Cheers.]
In 1862 party purposes required them to
consider the Union unbroken: In Louisiana
the Federal Government had possojsion of New5
Orleans alone. They admitted 'Hahn and
Flanders to their scnts ns Representatives from
their ?State. In 18C5 it had possession of every
foot of the State; thoBe same men presented
thomsclvcB ns Senators and they arc1 rejected
because tho State of Louisiana had ceased to
exist. [Cheers.] ? ;
In 1862 they desired to create West Vir
ginia?they must havo the consent of the old
State?they elect Governor Pierpont and a
legislature, and take their law as the solemn
act of tho State of Virginia assenting to its
own dismemberment. In 1866 they set up a
military government over Picrpoint and his
legislature, on the ground i that, prior to his
election, secession had destroyed the State.
[Applause and cheers.]
In 1861 and 1862 and 1863 and 1864 and
1S65 and 1866, during the war, and after the
war, they admitted Representatives from Ken
tucky, and now they roy^i tncm untii
a com
mittee cau inquire whether Kentucky hau a ro
rmblican government. [Cheers.]
In 1863 they cs?ibTish*ed mTlitary .^coniinis^
sions in Ohio for the trial of citizen's, and, by
their judgment, sent them to.death or exile.
In 1866, the" Supreme Court by an unanimous
decision, declares these tribunals illegal and
their sentences void. Iu 1863 they vexed us
with many oaths, and in 1866 tho Supreme
Court refused to administer them. [Loud ap-"
plause.] ??
For this they have threatened to impeach
tho judges, and they havo actually reduced
their numbers.
In 1861 they appealed to the patriotism of
the people, and raisod immense armies to main
tain the constitution and the Union. In 1865
they preferred to continue the war ruther than
mnko peace on the-basis of maintaining the
constitution and Uiiion. [Applause.]
And to-day, calling themselves, with osten
tation* hypocrisy, the Union party, they would
prefer to recognize the independence of the
Confederate States, rather than restore the
Union on the basts of the constitution. [Loud
choeiing.]
They have held and abandoned every theory
of government and every politicul opinion.
? ? I
"In the short space of one revolving moon
Was statesman, poet, fiddler and buffoon."
[Laughter.]
They proclaim loudly that the constitution
does not exist either in theory or practice iu
ten States of the Union ; and their most trust
ed and able leader, in the fulness of his con
tempt for that instrument and for the few Re
publicans who arc willing to obey it, declares
iu his own choice language that "somo frag
ments of the old aud broken constitution stick
in their gizzards and trouble them of nights."
[Laughter.]
Gentlemen, this is tho charge we have al
ways made. They do not understand what it
is to stand by the constitutionj and it is for
this very reason, as we assert, that they have
ciuuLC?" our land in tho mourning of civil war,
destroyed our form of government, broken
down tho guarantees of liberty, and loadod us
with this enormous burden of debt aud luxa
tion. ' i
And yet, r\y friends, standing before you to
night, believing that I love my country more
than I love my party; that I would be willing
to sacrifice for its interest every opinion,
and prejudice and sentiment that I tiiight have;
1 can only say to you again, as I said before,
stand ky the constitution. [Loud cheers.]
It is the present remedy for all our prongs. It
is the panacea for all the ills uuder' which we
labour. Stand uy the constitution, po
not seek to change it. Do not seek to amend
it. Do not seek to evade it. Obey it. It
was good enough for your fathers. It is good
enough for you. And if you obey it itr will be
good enough for your children for a hundred
years to come, (Applause and cheers.] One
hour ofjust administration of the Federal Gov
ernment, would restore the Union. One hour'
of just administration of tho Federal Govern
ment, would reinvigorato onr nation, and
restore the harmony that wo beforo enjoyed.
]Cheers]
"I'LL Call AhouND and Pay."?What a
world of woe is contained in' theso few words,
the poor artizan and mechanic 1 "I'll call
round and pay," says tho rich man. to avoid
the trouble of going to his desk to get the uc
ccssary funds, and the pcor mechanic is obliged
to go home to disappoint his workmen, and till
who depend upon him for their due. It is au
easy matter to work; the only real.'glory iu
.this life is an independent idea ofboing able
to sustain yourself by tho labor of your own
bands, mid it may be easily imagined what
crushing force there is tri "I around and
pay,' to the laboring liiah who depends on that
pay for subsistence. If those who could would
pay at once, it ^vould place hundreds and thou
sands i n a condition to d? likewise, and' would
prevent much misery and distress.
