. 1864,
woke within, tho darkened dawn
I woke, and saw the nMournful stars
Go slowly trouping o'er the plain,
Bearing the grand old warrior Mars
Upon his crimson shield.
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..

.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. Mdt 'be I'm green ; I
guesslIam sort o' tat way ; by jin
goqp, yp .doduniny here."
-Ex * nisyo pleasey my man.
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.

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

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.

Mysterious Hospital Patient.
Our exchanges, by answering our
query, may bring joy to some fond heart,
that tounrs as dead, an unfortunate
main whom we saw at the hospital in
this place on yesterday. '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.
Oh ! lhat, look can niever be forgotten
so full of petit ion, dread, aInld woe I He
wrings his hiands iicessantly and seems
jiust utterig some earnest regnest, but.
Iever speaks. Repeated eforts have

Luck.
BY JeSH BILLINGS.
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.

A Whaic il lottiall(ubor,
For some ten days previous to Monday
last two whales had beeni sporting
about the entrance to our harbor, inuch
to the anuseamentt. of sojourners at
Cape Cottage. 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. They pulled to theseene where
the frightented whtatle was vailnlV sev" -

A crowd of some ifteen ea htiend peo
ple wore soon gathered oil t hebi.
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. The shot seemet
to stunhimt for a iotimeit, and a ii o.
amont oily, for lie was oIl aiga itn imor
frisky thatn ever, closely followed by
Captaini Ben in his boat. Uek anil
