Anti said : "It is a sign to me That ho is dond-his soul is free; As wano those stars within the west, So he has fomid a dreamless rest Upon tho battle-field." O'God pity me I Ile- was my friend, And this his welcome natal morn; Yet there lie Iks so cold and still, And I lie hero-aloni,, forlorn And watch the day groew ved The dreary day 1 Oh, pitCous, stars, lIcar to his rest yotrt hero Ma's, BIst look across t he azure plaIn, Look back and loll Pie once again Is my brave hero deald I 1860. I thought you dead: It was a dream I Fate had a bittorer lot in store You to live oa, estranged and cold, I to exist ye tite Io- tore. Another natal morn has dawned; I watched the stars at break of day, As far behind the western sleeps They faded into misty grey, Aud spoke not. Only in my heart Thoro rose a faintly murmured prayer: "God bless any friend! tho' friendiuo nmorn," And silent passed into a tear. Winnsboro, 8. C, July 20th. ONE. 41 DI. One by one the sands are flowing, One by one the moments fall ; Some are coming, some are going, Do not strive to grasp them all. One by one thy duties wait thee, Lot thy wholestrength go to each Let no future dreams clato thee, Learn thou first what these can teach. One by one brights gifts of Heaven, Joys are sent thee here below Take them readily when given, Ready, too, to let them go. One- by one thy griefs shall meet thee, Do not fear an armed band - One will fado- as others greet thee, Shadows passing through the land. Do not look at lifo's long sorrow, See how small eaeh moment's pain God will help the for to-morrow, Evory day begin again. Every hour that fleets so slowly, Has its task to do or bear ; Luminous the crown and holy, If thou set onch gem with care. Do not linger with regretthrg, Or for passing hou'n despond Nor thy daily toil forgetting, Look too eagerly beyond. Hours are golden links, God's tokens, Reaching Heaven ; but one by one Take them lest theocha in be broken Ere thy pilgrimage be done.. -Hlousehold ro. .A P'ERPJaEXED BRIDEGROOM1. Some days since a very rustic and inaltistic couple, residents of Keni *ucky', near the Tenemsosec line, con eluded marriage to be their destiny, and with this idea, camne to Western Athens, decsirous of sacrificing them selves to Hymen at the earliest oppor.. .tunity. In duo time they arrived in this city and repairing to the Spensor House, informed clerk Andrewv Blum that they were extremely intent on lpotraiting miatrimaony, and that nothing could thwvart their purpose. Mr.. Blum, so far from wishing to pre vent their amiable immolation, made every effort to facilitate their design, amid so well did lie succeed, that in less than an. hour "James" and "Je mima" were wedded as firmly as lay in the capacity of a clergyman to bind them. Thie clerk, after the ceremony had been porformed, bselievinmg that all new married people ought to be as well accommodated as possible, gave them a parlor and bed room en the thirdifloor, and bid them "good even ing" about ten o'ceck, not neglecting to wieh them every possible blhss. The'twain meekly followed the' ser v'ant to the rooms, and were left alene there for the night ; thme clerk think ing- no, more of them untiil' about two e'oloek when,sitting dosing in easy chair behind the counter in the office, he ws a'ronsed by a voice saying : Look hiete,, Mr.. Clerk,, ohi, Mr.. Clerk, I'd. like to speak to you- just a-minit, and now." Mr. Blum opened his eyes, and be held huis rustie friend, hatless and coatless, with a'flushed face and tdis hevolled hair and such generally dis arrangea attire as indiented that he had beem underg.ing some very vio lent exercise.. "Wecll, sir, of what benefit can I be t0 you 1" ".Why, whyg I didn't like to trouble you, and dont know how you fellows does:things in this big town ; but, "Bumt what? my good friend," ques tfoned. the ork,, anxious to free- the ruralist from his oonfusion, each me.. ment~on the increase. "Why, why, you knew we're mar ried-MaTnin ty and me." 9Q, e ;wih you all manner of goof f'ortune,:my fine fellow." "Wal, a 'sjpose you dombmt onifound if I caniget tb an~ of thfngs Ia this - dataled place.

What Od is to say V' "We don't care, JTeminma and me, for a little, but to roll on the floor all night, it's devilish hard stranger, I'll swear it is." 'Roll round on the foor, what do you nican 1" "W1rell , I 'spose it isn't what ou call fashionable in a big town ; )tt by gumb whore we come frvm, mnarriett people allers goes to Led." "Haven't you been in bed I" asked the clerk in great surprise. "Why, how the devil could we go to bed when there wern't no bed to go to I That's what we want the worst sort." "My good follow, there's a bed in ,out roo m I Did you not, see it in your chamber in the rear of the parlor I" "Did you give us mor'n one room, stranger I By jingoes, I didn't know it. It all I want-all right, old fol low," and so saying he ran up stairs, and before the clerk could ascend to the chamber the bacolicist was in bed, and replied to the knock on the door: "All right. notw ; I've found It-Jenmi ma and me are satisfied. We don't wan tyou, all right. God bless you, oldfellow. All right-fust rate, God bless you; good night." Mr. Blum went chuckling down to the office at the idea that the unfortu nato ruralist had passed four hours in his parlor without even supposing that there was a bed chamber attached. Poor Simpleton ; no wonder he was embarrassed and troubled-under the circumstances. A PaACTICAL Van JoKc.-lenry Htale, one of the best scouts In tio Federal army, left Leavenworth with despaiches. As he rode along, men from every direction were going to join On. Prico. lie saw an old Secessionist with a shot gun, and thought it would be a nico thing to drive the old fellow off and take his horse into Lexington. So he engaged the old ian in conversa tion, and getting an opportunity, put a re volver to the rebel's head, ordering hint to tio his gun to tho saddle, to dismount and skedadlo I The old man nmnde tracks rapidly, glad to escape willI his life. ale took the horse by the bridle and rode on whistling "Yan. kee Doodle." lie had 'idden bit a mile or two, when, at a turn of the road, he was ordered to "halt. The old "reb" had procured another gun andi got ahead of him I If is gun, was square ly levelled at la1le's lhend.. "Get off tha horse," said he. liale got down. "'ie that revolver to the saddle !" linle 'lid it. "l'ull off your pants I" Ilale shucked 'emt off. "'8k!Iedaddle I" An order which liale at once carried into effect, merely saying : "Well, Cap.. I thought my shirt was com - tig next.: good bye I" Tito old "reb" went off with the two horses, whistling "Dixio," while hlale march ed seven miles to Lexington with only his coat and shirt on. Ifis coat coutained the dispatches.

'o sad a pic ture 1s hi , anxious face presents it has not often bee our lot to look upol. No account whatiever can be gathered of him here, When the United States forces took possession of ''llitahassece, they found this man in the (thlen) Cn. federate hospital, and he has not been heard to speak since. His face Over wears an expression of the most anxious care. The iioimeit any one (,liers his room ho turns with an imploring glaceo, intensified by an expressioi of fear.

I don't believe in "Good Luck," or "Bad Luck," being branded on a man's brow at his boiiig, that he has got to ear, as a dog does a collar, without knowing why. There is such a thing, (in words,) as Good Luck, so there is suich a thing, as mnergy, pluck, and endurance, that prompts a man to Pontoon a swamp, rather than get stuck in it ; and there is uich a thing as Bad Luck, that prompts a man to get his house insured, for 25 bundred and 50 dollar-, the next day after it gets burnt up. I never have hearl illy body wito was prosperons in their enterprises give ie credit, of it to Good Luck ; but. I have known thousands of men spend all the day long, in a corner grosery, brag ging about Mad Luck. Good Luckis like virtue, somel hinig to be gained, and Bad* Luck is some thinig to be gained too, but it is like a bad coMl, that a man ust expect to gain, ifhe is careless entiff, to sliee), (in a cloudy night,) in. a 10 acre lot that ain't fenced iln.

They generally played around the outside, but at one time were observed as far in as Diatmond Cove. Monday morning one of the nion rs acocompauied a vessel so far in that he evidently got frightened and lost his reckoiing. le swat m into our inner harbor, !Araight ip by all the wharves, and through the Portland Bridge and the P. S. & P. Railroad Brid e ! There the water got so shoal that he quit the proCGgrei-ve 1ad com ieneed to rni fron shore to sliore, andl back and furth between Vaughan'sgi bridge and the railroad bridge, h being able to go in no direction more than half a nile. Meantime the veteran pilot and ca p turer of big fish, Capt. Blntj. J. Wil lI rd, was notified of t he prtesence of our distinguished guest, nit he madao innuediate plans to givh aw reception. With his larpoons, whta 1 intg-gut, etc., Capt aina Benit was soon in his b,oatt, with six Stout fellows at th' onurs.

Occasionally the whale would ru1:h to thesurface witisucl terrific speed that nearly his entire body would appear above the surface, and lie woulb aill with a splash that wotrld send c4dinua11s of water higih itn the air. The boat. itt cbase was propelled with reat speed, bitt tle whalIii avo%'id ed it for a log time. Men p 'red with thei- rifles, took at pop ti le giant of tite dCep wt ahen Ie ctle lnear. A number of rifle balls pat into him without effect, save itt the single inl. stance, where one stritk him at short, range near the eye.
