?yllSO'ElT sT n /\ JHTST A. Dream. The following linea, says the New Or? leans Weekly Mercury, were composed by a yonug Confcdorato soldier who WS'B wounded in our battles for the "Lost Cause." This gallant youth, from Mary? land, has been lying for more than four years upon his back, unablo to elevate his body higher than when resting on his elbows; out still his cheerfulness and equanimity aro moat remarkable. Now living in tho city of Charleston, under the benevolent caro of ono of the noblo wo? men of our Southern land, ho has educat? ed himself in several languages, and occa? sionally commits his thoughts to paper. His modesty has prevented his appear? ance in print. On tho occasion of the establishment of the "Soldiers' Widows' Home," in that city, ho produced tho fol? lowing beautiful verses: Cold winter blew his howling blast, The rain poured down in swollen streams. Dark night his wing o'er earth had cast, As I walked in the land of dreams. The shades I saw of fallon braves, They, all appeared in saddest mood; And walking by thoir empty graves, In silent grief they seemed to brood. To this pale throng I drow me near; Accosting one, with trembling voice, I asked of him why they were drear, And why they did not all rejoice. For on the list of glory bright Impresaed was overy hero's name, And with the story of our fight, Was hanging in tho houso of fame. In eaddcat tone, the form replied: "Can we do else than restless roam, When those for whom we fought and died Are wand'ring earth without a home? "With griof wo seo our loved ones woep; For broad we hear our children cry; Say, can we then in quiet sleep, When those we love of hunger die? "A poor reward to fallon bravea, For all tho glory they have won, To placo upon these lowly graves A massy, cold and polished stone. "If you would to us honor give, And drive away our mourning mood, Go cheer our loved ones when they grieve, And give them raiment, ahelter, food!" . Thus ends the bravo Ina gloomy talk His bloody shroud around him draws; I Takes up again his dreary walk With heroes of tho "Fallon Causo." With louder voice I called again: "Your country, know, is not unkind, For those you love from wind and rain THE WIDOWS' HOUE a shelter find!" Then loy lit np each ghostly oye, Each laid him in his narrow tomb; They hear no more their loved ones cry, Safe sheltered in THE WIDOWS' HOME, And in their graves a mystic ray A soothing, softened glory-shed, Like in the East at brena nf day, Ero PhobuB ahowa his Haming head. Then winter blew his howling blast, Tho rain pour'd down in swollen streams; Black night his wings on earth had cast, And I came from tho land of dreams. C. E. lt. CHAULESTON, 8. C., January 1, 18(18. BUTLER BOTTLED BY DICKENS. During the reading of Mr. Diekens, on Tuesday night, at Carroll Hall, a coincidence occurred thero that turned quito a titter, if not a laugh, on Gen. Butler. It occurred during tho reading or description of "Bob Sawyer's party at his lodgings," from Pickwick, in the quarrel scene bo tween Noddy and Gunter. Tho fol? lowing ?B the reading: "I request tus.t you'll favor me .with your card, sir," said Mr. Noddy. "I'll do nothing of tho kind, sir," replied Mr. Gunter. "Why not, sir," inquired Mr. Nod? dy. "Because you'll Btick it up over your chimney piece, and delude your visitors into the false belief that a gentleman has been to seo you, sir," replied Mr. Gunter. "Sir, a friend of mine shall wait on yon in the morning," said Noddy. "Sir, I'm very much obliged to you for the caution, and I'll leavo par? ticular directions with tho servant to lock np the spoons," replied Mr. Gunter. Previous to this tho hero of Fort Fisher was all attention, with out? stretched neck, as though fearful of losing a single word, but when it casie by spowus, his hoad bobbed down, like a terrapin's being jerked into itu shell, and an unmistakable titter and smile went over tho audi? ence, as though tho spoons reference ?was very apropos. I Wash. Constitutional Union. Tire DEATH PENALTY.-Tho New York Tribune says that all tho pro? gressives favor tho abolition of the death penalty, and thinks it au evi? dence of barbarism not to do so. Howover that may bo, it seems that where it has been abolished it has agniu to bo resorted to. A lotter from Basle says the Graud Council of tho Canton of Fribarg, has just re? established tho penalty of death, which was abolished twenty years ago. Out of eighty-live votes, fifty? one supported tho re-introduction. "H"I do declare, Sal, you look good enough to eat." "Well, Solomon, ain't I eating as fast as I can?" replied Sal, with her mouth full. Let not every pain send thee to the doctor, every quarrel to the law? yer, nor every thirst to tho dram? shop.

AN ascription of praise more worthy tho triumphs of art than gilded obelieks, or monuments of atone, is tho voluntary testimony of a grateful people. A thou? sand hearts, and as many ready tongues, yield a nilling and a thankful tribute of praise to tho merits of that incomparable panacea, HEINITSH'S QUEENS DELIGHT. These are tho liviug trophies: "Snatched from tho curso diaeasc has brought. To apeak the triumph? skill has wrought." In tho brief poriod of twelve months, over 3,000 casca have been treated so suc? cessfully as to entitle it to bo tho wonder of tho age. For debility, prostration, nervousness, mental depression, impaired digestion, loss of appetite, reatlesness, want of vital forco ana low spirits, it is more invigorat? ing and strengthening than all the com? pounds of bark or bitters. As a liver mvigorator, it is of inestimable value. ' As a stimulant, it is safer and surer than all tho rum and whiskoy tonics of tho day, and if you value your life and health a mu's fee, avoid these quickening stimu? lants to the grave and utso the Queen's Delight.
