woke within. the darkened dawn
I woke, and saw the inournful stars
Go slowly trouping o'er tho plain,
Dearing the grand old warrior Mars
Upon his crimson shield.
And said : "It is a sign to me
'Pht ho is dead-his soul is free ;
As wano those stars within the west,
So he has found a <droamloss rest
Upon the battle-field."
"God pity me I le was my friend,
And this his welcome natal inorn;
Yet there he lis so cold and still,
And I lie here-aloe,,, forlorn
Antd watch the day grow ved-.
'io dreary day I Oh, piteous stars,
l'ar to him rest your her, Mas,
hit look across the azure plairu,
look back and t4l me once again
Is mny brave hero dead -

1866.
I thought you, dead : It was a dream I
Fate had a bittorer lot In store
You to live- on, est rang.edi and cold,
I to exist yet live no- more.
Another natal morn has dawned;
I watched the stars at break of day,
As far behind the western sleeps
They faded. into misty grey,
And spoke not. Only in my heart
Tirero rose a faintly murmured prayer:
"God bless my friend! tho' friend no more,"
And silent passed into a tear.
Vinnsboro, 8. C , July 20th.
ONE Ji tI.L
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 lli.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each
Let no future dreams olato thee,
Learn thou first what these can teach.
One by one brights gifts of Heaven,
Joys are sont thee here below
Take thon readily when given,
Iteady, too, to lot them go.
One by one thy griefs shall mcet thec,
Do not fear an armed band -
One will fado as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life's long sorrow,
See how small each moment's pain
God will hel) the for to-morrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly,
H1as its task to do or bear ;
Luminous the crown and holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting,
Or for passing hiouvr despond;
Nor thy daily toil forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, God's tokens,
Roaehing Heaven ; but one by one
Take them lest the cha in be broken
Ere thy pilgrimage be done.

.A PERPLEXED BRIDEGROOM1.
Some. days since a very rustic and
inartistic couple, residenits of Ken
tuekgy, near tihe Tenmnesee line, con
cluded marriage to be their destiny,
and with this~ idea, camne to Western
Athens, dlesirous of sacriticing them..
selves to Ihymen at the earliest oppor..
.tunity.
In due time they arrived in this
city and repairing to tihe Spensor
House, informed clerk Andrew Blunm
that they were extremely intent on
pecrpetrtinig matrimony, and that
nothing could thwvart their pupoe
M~r.. Blum, so far from wishing to pre
vent their amiable immolation, made
every effort to facilitate thteir design,.
and so wvell ditd he succeed, that i~n
less than ana hour "James" and "Je
mima" were wedded as firmly as lay
in the- capacity of a eogyman to bind
them.
The clerk, after the ceremony had
been performecd, holieving that all
new married people ought to be as
well accommodated as possible, gave
them a parlor and bed room en. the
third floor, and bid them "good even
ing" about ten o'clock,not neylecting
to wish~ them every possible blhas.
The twain meekly followed the-ser
vant to the roonms, and wore left alone
thoro for the night ; the clerk think
ing n+ more of thoem until' about two
o'clock when,sitting dosing in easy
chair behind the counter in the office,
lie wi'aronsed by a voice saying:
Look here, Mr.. Clerk,, oh, Mr.. Clerk,

Mr. Blum opened his ey es, and be
held his rustie friend, hatless and
coatless, with a flushed face and dis

Luck.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.
I don't believe in "Good Luck," or
"Bad Luck," being branded on a man's
brow at his borning, that lie has got to
wear, as a dog does a collar, without
knowing why.
T'hero is such a thing, (in words,) as
Good Luck, so there is ucli a thing, as
energy, pluck, and endurance, that
prompts a man to Pontoon a swainp,
ratl",r than get stuck in it ; and thero is
such a thing as Bad Luck, thit prompts
a man to get his honso insured, for 25
hundred and 50 dollars, the next day
after it gets burnt ip.
I never have heanrd any body who
was prosperous im tliir en terprises give
the credit of it to Good Luck ; but. I
have known thousands of men spend all
the day long, in a corner grosery, brag
giig albout Bad linLek.
Good Lueckis like virtte, something
to be gained, and Bad' Luck is some
thing lo be gained too, but it is like a
bad c)ld, that a lan must expect, to
gain, W1 ho is careless enuff, to sleep, (in
a cloudy night,) in a 10 acre lot that
ain't feniced inl.
AN INcIP.NT.-A "reb," who had
long languished oi the sweets of a
forced idleness, consequent upon his
occupation having terminated. with
Lee's surrender, began to look about
him for something to be, to, do, or to
suffer. Thinking himself sufliuntly
reconstructed, he applied for one of
the Departnents, presided over by a
Federal officer.
"aInve you been- in the rebel ser
vice I" he was asked.
"Yes, sir," was the reply.
"About eighteen pitched bat ties,
sir."
"Ever kill any Yankees ?"'
"No sir ; never killed any."
"flow do you know that V"
"Well, I couldn't kill any of them.
"W1vhy wats that ?"
"Becauso they were all in the rear
