The Jacket of Gray. BY MRS. C. A. CALL. VI'. "'. ""' i I. ' - Fold it up carefully, lay it aside ; Tendsrly touch it, look on it with pride; For -car must it be to our hearts ovcrmore, The'Jacket of Gray our loved soldier-boy wore. Can we ever forget when he joined the brave band, "Who rose in defence of our dear Southern land; And in his bright youth hurried on the fray, Hojr-proudly he donned it, the Jacket of Gray ? His fond mother blessed him, and looked up above, Corimending to Heaven tho child .of her love ; What anguish was hers, mortal tonguo may not say, When he passed from our sight in Iho Jacket of Gray.. Bu' her country had ealled, and she would not re? pine, - . , . Though costly the sacrifice placed on its shrine ; Ubc heart's dearest hopes on its altar she lay, When she sent out her boy in the Jacket of Gray. Months passed, and War's thunders rolled over the land; Unsheathed was the sword, and lighted the brand ; W-3 heard in the distance the sounds of the fray, And prayed for our boy in the Jacket of Gray. Ala I rain all, all vain, wore our prayers and our tears; ' The glad shout of victory rang in our ears; But our treasured one on tho rod battle-field lay, While the life-blood oozed out on the Jacket of gray. ? His young comrades found him, and tendorly bore The cold, Bifeless form to his home by the shore ; Ch dark were our hearts on that terrible day, When wo saw our dead boy in the Jacket of Gray. Ah! spotted and tattered, and stained now with gore, Was fie garment which once he so proudly wore; We bitterly wept as we took it away, And replaced with death's white robes the Jacket ofGray. We laid him to rest in his cold, narrow bed, And graved on the marble we placed o'er his head, As the proudest tribute onr sad hearts could pay; He never disgraced the Jacket of Gray. Then fold it up carefuUy, lay it aside; Tendorly touch it, look on with pride; For dear must it be to our hearts evermore, The Jacket of Gray our loved soldier-boy wore. -;-* Home and Friends. Oh! there's a power to make each hour As sweet as Heaven designed it; Nor need we ro^ani to bring it homo, %i Though fear there be that find it. We seek too high for. things close by, And loose what nature gave ua; For life hath here no charms so dear ( As home and friends around us. * j*x&Zk'?v, !? i.r >' ~ " v 31 ? "> f ? *-* ? We oft destroy the present joy, And future hopes, nor praise them, While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet, If wo'd bat stoop to raise them, For things so fair still greater are When youth's bright spell hath bound as; But soon wo're taught that earth has naught Like home and friends around us. The friends that speed in time of need, When hope's last reed is shaken, Do show us still that come what will, We are not quite forsaken. Though -all were night, if but the light From friendship's altar crowned us, Twould prove the bliss of earth was this? _Our homes and friends around us._ From the Gospel Messenger. "I am certainly at a loss to know what. to do with tho boy," said Mrs. Burton to her husband! with much concern on her face, and in an anxious tonei of voice. "I n?ver yield to his imperious temper; I never indulgo h'.m in anything; I think about him and care about Iiiui all the time, but see no good results." "While Mrs. Burton was speaking, a bright, active .boy, eight years of ago, camo dashing into tho room, and without heeding any one, commenced beating on the window sills and making a deafening noise. "Incorrigible boy!" exclaimed the mother, going quickly up to him and jerk? ing the stick out of his hands. ' Can I learn you neither manners nor decency ? I have told you a hundred times that when you come into a room where any one is sitting, you must be quiet. Go up stairs'. thi3 moment, and don't let me see your face for an hour." The boy became sulky for a momont, and stood where ho was, pouting sadly. "Bid you hear what I said? Go up stairs this moment 1". Mrs. Burton spoke in a very angry tone, and looked quite as angry as she spoke. T Slowly tho boy moved toward the door, a scowl darkening his face, that was but a moment before so bright and cheerful. His steps were tod deliberate for the over excited feolings of his mother; she sprang towards him, and seizing him by the arm, pushed iim from the room and closed tho ! door loudly after him. "I declare I am all' out of heart."' she exclaimed, sinking .down upon a chair: "It. is line^ upon lino and precept upon precept, and all to no good purpose.? The boy will break my heart yet!" Mr. Burton said nothing, bnt he saw plainly! enough that it was not all the child's fault. He doubted the use of com? ing out and saying this unequivocally, al? though he had often been on the point of doing so involuntarily. He knew the temper of his wife so welF. and her pecu? liar sensitiveness about everything that looked like charging any fault, upon her? self, that he feared that more harm than j good would result from any attempt on ! his part to show her that she was more than half to blame for tho boy's perverse- j ^(jss of temper. Once or. twice the little fellow showed himself at the door, but was driven back.-.with her harsh words until the hour of tea arrived. The sound of the tea-bell caused an instant oblivion of all-the .disagreeable impressions mado upon his mind. His little feet answered the welcome summons with a clatter that Stunned the ears of his mother. "Go back, sir!" she said sternly, as ho burst open the dining room door and set it swinging, with a loud concussion against the wall, "and see if you cant walk more like a boy than a horse." Master Henry withdrew, pouting out his rosy lips to the distance of full an inch. He went up one flight of stairs, and then returned. ? "Go up to the third story where you started from, and como down quietly all the way, or you shall not have a mouth? ful of supper." "I don't want to," whined the boy. "Go. up, I tell you, this instant, or I will send you to.bed without anything to eat." This was a threat that former experi? ence had taught mjght be oxpected, and so deemed it better to submit, than to pay too dearly for having his own way. The distance to the third story was made in a few light springs, and then he came pattering down as lightly, and took hie place at the table quickly but quietly. "There, there, not so fast; you've got plenty to oat; and time enough to oat it in." Harry settled himself down to the ta? ble as quietly as his mercurial spirits would allow, and tried to wait until he was helped, but in spite of his efforts to do so, his hand went over into tho bread basket. A look from his mother caused him to drop the slice he had lifted; it was not a look in which there was much af? fection. While waiting to be helped, his hands were butt with his knife and fork, making a most?fnpleasant clatter. "Put your hands down!" harshly spoken, remedied this evil, or rather sent the active movements from the little fel? low's hands to his feet, that commenced a swinging motion, his feet striking against the chair. "Keep your feet still," caused this to cease. After one or two more reproofs, the boy was. left to himself. As soon as he received his cup of tea, he poured the en? tire contents into his saucer, and then tried to lift it steadily to his lips. In doing this, he spilled a third of its con? tents on the table cloth. "A box on the car, and a storm of an? gry words rewarded his feat. "Haven't I told you over and over again, you incorrigible bad boy, not to pour the whole of your tea into the sau? cer? Just see what a moss you have made with that clean tablo-cloth. I de? clare I am out of all manner ot patienco with you. Go away from tho table this instant!" Harry went crying away, not in anger, but in grief. He had spilled his. tea by accident. His mother had so many re? proofs and injunctions to make, that the bearing of them all in mind was an im? possible thing. As to pouring out all his tea at a time, ho had no recollection of any interdiction on the subject, although it has been made over and over again dozens of times. In a little time ho came creeping slowly back, and resumed his placo'at tho table, his eyes gazing wist? fully on his mother's face. Mrs. Burton was sorry that she had sent him away for what was only an ac? cident. She had felt 6he had hardly been just to the thoughtless boy. Sho did not object to his coming, but said, as ho took j his seat, "Next time see that you are more caroful. I have told you again and again not to fill your saucer to the brim ?you can never do it without spilling your tea on tho table-cloth." This was not spoken in kindness. A scene somowhat similar to this was enacted at every meal, but instoad of im? proving in his behaviour, tho boy grew more heedless. Mr. Burton rarely said anything to Harry about his unruly man? ners, but when he did, it was sufficient. That word was mildly yet firmly spoken. Ho did not think him a bad boy, or diffi? cult to manage. At least he never found him so. "I wish I knew what to do with that child!" said Mrs. Burton, after tho little fellow had been sont to bed an hour be? fore his time, in consequence of some vio? lation of law and order. "Ho makes me foel unhappy all tho while. I dislike to bo forever scolding him?but what can I do ? If I did not curb him some way, there would be no living in tho house with him. I am afraid ho will cause a w-orld of trouble." Mr. Burton 9at silent. He wanted to say a word on the suSject, but he feared the effect might not bo what ho desired. "I wish you would advise me what to do," said his wife, rather petulantly_ "Yen sit, and don't say a single word, as if you had no kind of interest in tho mat? ter. What am I to do ? I have oxhaustoii all my own resources, and feel completely at a loss." "There is a way which, if you adopt, I think might, do a great deal of good." Mr. Bnrton spoke with a slight appear? ance of hesitation. "H you would speak gently to Harn*, I am sure you would be able to manage him better than you do." Mrs. Burton's face was crimsoned in an jMJcrrzjzzA?r.wwwsmmmmm^ ? ????? ? .-?--_ instant; sho felt the reproof keenly; her self eeteom was severely wounded. "Speak gently, indeed !" she replied. "I might as well speak to the wind; I am scarcely heard now at the top of my voice." As her husband did not argue tho mat? ter with her, nor say anything that was calculated to keep np tho excitement under which sho was lahoriug, her feel? ings in a littlo while quieted down, and her thoughts became active. The words "speak gently," were constantly iu her mind, and there was a reproving import in them. On going to bed that night, she could not sleep for several hours?her mind,was too busily engagod in reviewing her conduct to her child. Slio clearly perceived that sho had too frequently suffered her mind to get angry and exci? ted, and that sho was often arrnoyed at trifles, that ought to have been overlooked. "I am afraid I have been unjust to my child," sho sighed, turning over and over again on her pillow. * *.* * * * *'* "I will try to do bettor," she said to herself, as sho arose in tho morning, feel? ing little refreshed from sleop. Beforo she was ready to leave the room, she heard Harry's voice calling her from the next chamber, whore he slept. Tbe tones were fretful ; ho wanted somo attendance, and was crying out for it.in a mannor that instantly disturbed the mother's feelings. She was about telling him to bo quiet until she could finish dressing herself, when the words: "spoak gently," seem whispered in her ear. Tho effect was magical?tho mother's spirit was sub? dued. "I will speak gently " she murmured, and went immediately to narry, who was still crying out fretfully. The boy looked up with surprise; his eyo brightened, and the whole expression of his face changed in an instant. "I can't find my stockings mamma," he said. "They are under the bureau," replied Mrs. Burton, as gontly as sho had first spoken. "Oh yes, so they are," cheerfully re? plied Harry; "I couldn't see them no? where." "Did you think ciying would bring them ?" This was said with a smile, and in a tone so unlike his mother's that the child again looked up in her face; with surprise that was, Mrs. Burton plainly saw, mingled with pleasure. "Do you want anything elso ?" she asked. "jSo, mamma," he replied cheerfully, I can dress myself now." The first little effort was crowned with tho most onccuiaging results to tho mother; she felt deep peaco settling in her bosom?tho consciousness of having gained a truo victory over the heart of her boy.- It was a littlo act but was the first fruits, and gathering so small a har? vest was sweet to the soul. For the first time in many months the breakfast table was pleasant to all. Har? ry nover once interrupted the conversa? tion that passed botwoon his father and mother. When ho asked for anything, it was in a way pleasing to all. Once or twico Mrs. Burton found it necessary to correct some littlo fault in manners, but the way in which she did it disturbed not his temper, and instead of not soeming not to hear her words, as it had almost al? ways been tho caso, he rogarded all that was said, and tried to do as she wished. "There is a wonderful power in gontle words," remarked Mr. Burton to his wife, after Harry had left the tablo. "Yes, wondorful, indeed; their effect surprises me." "Love iB strong." "So it seems?stronger than any othor influence we can bring to boar on a human being." Days, weeks, months and years went by; during all this time the mother con? tinued to strive earnestly with her child. Tho happiest results followed; the fret? ful, passionato, disorderly boy became even minded and orderly in his habits. A word gently spoken was all-powerful in its influenco for good, but the least shadow of harshness would arouse his stubborn will and deform the fair faco of his young spirit. Whenever mothers complain to Mrs. Burton of the dillieulty they find in man? aging their children, she has but ono pieco of advice to give, and that is to "speak gently." --<J>-L ArnoaiSMs.?Few know enough to know that they know hot little.

From the Cmirritr des Fiats Unit. The Women of the South. For some days past the Tribune, which generally possesses the virtue of self-re? spect, not knowing, doubtless, how else to give vent to its ill humor at the turn of affairs, has lavished insults upon the women of tho South. It seems to us that a thousand reasons, not to mention the simple ono of propriety, should restrain a Northern journal irom such attacks. The Tribune should remember, too, the herro ism displayed by. the Confederate women for their cause. Whether this cause were good or bad, the Southern women have sustained it nobly, and with a force of character which recalls the ancient wo? men of Sparta, and which has everywhere commanded respect and admiration. Not satisfied with attacking the South? ern women, the Tribune institutes be? tween thorn and tho women of the North a comparison as odious as it is unjust. "Our women," says Mr. Greeley's newspaper, "arc everywhere a most culti? vated cBss; tho women of the South arc more illiterate than tho men." We dispute tho truth of this sssertion. There are at the South, as at the North, educated women and ignorant women, well bred and ill bred, vulgar women.? But we do not believe that the propor? tion is so unfavorable at the South. The ladies of Charleston, of New Orloans and of Bichmond havo shone in all the Euro? pean saloons where they have appeared, as brilliantly as those of New York and Boston. That the Southern women are less literary than their husbands is very possible, but we do not consider this surely as a reproach. We do not liko icarned women; wo are repelled by women versed in latin and philosophy, and, unlike Mr. Grceloy, take the part of Henriette against Armande. A woman may be educated, certainly, but let her never become a pedant; and, above all, let her never pa? rade her learning. We do not see at tho South such physical and philosophical ladies; we seo only too many of them at the North; and what these gain in science, if scienco that may bo called which consists in a great number of ideas, al? most always confused and superficially understood, joined to enormous preten? sion, lose in grace and attraction. We say this without intending any injustice to those charming Northern women who avoid the grotesque and ridiculous, and resemble in this their sisters of tho South Let us permit tho Tribune to insist upon the "gross ignorance" of the Confederate ? womon, and to refer to this ignorance their energy and constancy during the war. Wo attribute the great qualities of which the Southern women have given noble example to a higher origin. Igno? rance, the Tribune has said it a hundred times, can engender only vice and mean? ness?and if the Confederate women have been heroic, it is because the}- had faith in thoir cause. There are occasions in history when women, whose mission in ordinary times is to make the good wife, the tender mother, and to polish manners by tho charm and grace when she brings into all social relations, may rise above herself and give example of the highest virtues. These occasions occur when the sacred soil of her country, and with it (or through it) the domestic hearth and the f'imily are threatened with invasion.? These high virtues the women of the South havo practiced without ostentation, without theatrical parade. They have borne all privations, they have defied all outrages by their proud and impassable attitude. Soldiers,drunken with blood, could outrage their bodies, but their victims remained as puro as those Christian virgins whose momories the embraces of the executioner could not defilo. All that is precious to women? dress, jewels, the luxuries of home?all these tho Southern women gave up?they did not even recoil before sacrifices still more painful?they did not fear to break thoir hearts by sending forth their sons to do battle for a cause, sacred in their eyes, like that Lacedemonian mother who showed a shield to her son and said sim? ply?return with it?or on it?do thy duty or die. Do not expect such trials apart frtm ignorant women, from souls without elevation! And while desolation overall the hearths of the South, while mothers had each da}: fresh tears to wipe away, yot bravely bore their grief, how were tho woman of the North employed ? In devolving a costly luxury against which the Tribune itself cried out, calling attention to its scandalous} extent, feminine prodigality became more and more unrestrained.? We know to what disastrous result this stato-of affairs has Ted. Some ladies, it is true, like Miss Anna Dickenson, gave tiresome lectures to promiscuous audi? ences, others clamored lor pretended wo? man's rights, and exposed themselves to the derision of the public; and others still enrolled themselves under the banner of miscegenation. It is among these classes of women, who defy good sense and mod? esty in public exhibitions, that the Tri? bune finds its ideal. Let this journal, then, ccaso to insult these conquered women, of whom the do foat has not diminished the greatness ? let it cease to embitter and dishonor its pen in sustaining an indefensible para-i dox. The North, like the South, has its ' contingent of good, graceful, educated and elegant bred women ; it has,perhaps, a larger number of that class who so lit- i tic deserve the ijamo of women, and for j whom certain announcements arc made in the journals; it possesses, also, a greater share of learned and pedantic ladies?but for these, will New Orleans not bc corao envious of Boston. As for good and well-bred society, it is the same eve? rywhere ; and the Tribune may be sure that a woman ot the world, coming from Boston, would not feel out of place in New Orleans, nor would the contrary be true. In calumniating the Southern wOr men, Mr. Greeley has simply proved that he does not kuow them, and that he knows still less the common laws of pro? priety. - Another Speech from the Presi? dent. Washington, March 9,1866. The Committee of the Maryland Leg? islature, headed by Speaker Frazer, had an interview with President Johnson yes? terday, to present the resolutions adopted by the Legislature, indorsing his policy for the reconstruction of the Union. The President in reply to the remarks of Mr. P. Frazier said : I have no reply to make, gentlemen, more than to thank you for the encour? agement and countenance you have given on the present occasion, and the confi? dence you have indicated as placing in m? as an Executive Officer, and in my public acts. All that I can say in con? nection with tho subject has been said. And I trust and hope, so far as concerns my prior acts, that your confidence has not been misplaced, and that you may not bo mistaken in your approbation. It is unnecessary for me to repeat the prin? ciples I have already laid down. The}' are understood and there can be no mis. take when they are read and understood, as to the position I occupy. Persons who understand principles, and who agree upon principles, have come together, and act together, without any previous con? cert or comparison of notions or ideas. We find them involuntarily approaching each other. And the converse of the proposition is just as true. Where they disagree and do-not harmonize in their thoughts and actions, they early com? mence a divergent course. The most gratifying thing to me in this is, after all, that I am ono of thoso who rely upon principle. From my earliest advent into public life, there has been some funda? mental notion about this nation that 1 have ontcrtained and never departed from. But, as I said, one of the gratify ing things to me is, that after we have passed through the ordeal that has marl - cd our very recent history?that chaotic state that had characterized the public mind?that when we see these prinei';!? enunciated, there is still an apprehension and a comprehension of them around which and about which there seenm tw commence a crystalizatipn and a forma? tion of men, that will in the er.d, I be? lieve, sustain the country. As to rojWlf individually, that is a very fmall art'^i*. It amounts to hut very little. But. so far as that goes, if f have given no evi? dence of sincerity, or that I can be con? fided in and relied upon, in the past, there is nothing I could say now?no profession that I could make, that would show, that, as it has been in the past, so in thefutur*. the Constitution is my guide. The pub? lic gooil b:i? been my aim And .^ink ?>r -swim, live or die. upon that principle and upon that line I shall go through with it. All that I ask is >n honest and confiding public to stand by mo, and say in the fu? ture whether I am sincere in what I pro? fess, and whether the principles upon ? which we rely are right in themselves. There is one thing which I have relied upon in early life, and which has become a part of my very nature. The princi? ples, tho great principles, of free Govern? ment, never yet failod. In the possession of these great principles we cannot reach a wrong conclusion. If we arc right? if the principles arc right in themselves and wc pursue them rightfully?though there may be gloom gathering around our pathway, though we may not *ec our way entirely clear, yet in the pursuit of principle, if we follow it, it will lake us triumphantly through, without regard to what may be npon the right hand or up? on the left. But I trust and hope that in this struggle in tho Government, as it were, we may bo encouraged to com? mence a new career, and that we will, commence it upon principle. And though so far as I am concerned, I repeat, I am a vory small part of this thing, yet now is a timo for patriots who love principles and who want to preserve the Constitu? tion intact, now is a time to come forward without regard to any future, so far as I am concernedt for lam looking to none? now is a time to make a basis, and form a combination upon this great question, and manifest that it can be successfully demonstrated. Now is a time to make a basis; now is a time to gather the materi? al; now is a time to rally around prinei pie, and lay a basis upon which our Gov? ernment can proceed. And that beina dono, and this Union being restored, the summit of my ambition has been reach? ed, tho measure of my ambition has been fulfilled, and I could now say, as Simeon did of old?if I had it in my power to pronounco that this Union was restored, and the Constitution intact, and the Gov? ernment had commenced its career anew, if all these thinge were established I could oxclaim, "Tho glory of Thy ealva tion, 0 God, has been seon and inAhTfcs ted, and now let Thy servant depart in peace I" I thank you, gentlemen, for tho encouragement you have given me. I think I know how to appreciate and feel it. I hope and trust in the end to dc? servo your support. Some colloquial remarks were then in? terchanged between the President and the memocrs of the Committee, after which they severally took' the hand' of the Psesident, and departed from tho White House.
