"You have, Tom, you have, and
nobly done it," replied the captain
with great emotion.
"God bless you IL have only one
thing more to say" Then addressing
one of his comrades, he asked for his
knapsack, which was Immediately
handed to him. 81 have one thing to

one biscuit--it is all | possess. You,
as well as others, sir, are without
bread; take it for the sake Of a poor
grateful soldier--take it--take it, sir,
and God be with you'll"
The poor good natured creature
was totally exhausted as he concluded;
he leaned back--his eyes grew dull
CLASSY color--his face still paler, and
he expired in about ten minutes after
on the spot. The captain wept like 0
child.
Few words were spoken. The
body was borne along with us to the
wood where the division was bivouck
ed, and the whole company to which
the man belonged attended his inter,
ment, which took place in about two
hours after. He was wrapped in his
blanket, just as he was, and laid in the
earth. The captain himself read a
prayer over his grave, and pronounced
a short but impressive eulogy on the
merits of the departed. He showed
the men the biscuit, as he related to
them the manner in which it had been
given to him, and he declared he
would never taste it, but keep the to-
ken in remembrance of the good SOL
der, even though he starved. The
commissary, however, arrived that
night, and prevented the necessity of
trial of the captains resolution. At
the same time, | do believe nothing
would have made him eat the biscuit.

TO THY MOTHER.

And the light Of thine eye is dim
And the gushings Of gadness thatused TO fill
Thy cup ofjoy to it's brim,
Come like the visits OF angels,
SO few and far between
That feel the reed is a broken one
On which thou art doomed to lean.
IT'S bitter thing. my mother,
To look on parents decay
To behold the Spoilers rayages
As he tears lifc's bloom away,
IT'S bitter to look on the burrows
He ploughs in the godlike brow
To weep DER the gems Of intellect
That are rayiess, and shecniess now.
Bat there is a thought, my mother,
That is balm to the wounded heart
Though the gift of life is fraii one.
And from il we soon must part,
There is a haven of gladness,
For the weary heart home
Where the light of joy is never dim.
And sorrows never come.
On that blissful home, my mother,
Thine eye is often bent,
Like a tiny child's on wished for thing
So longing-so intent.
o, how pure in the eye of Heaven
Must the heart of the christian be
So entirely fixed On that home above,
From earthliness so free. w. ID. G..

DEATH OF A SOLDIER.

"Our men were starving if we ha
been loaded with gold we could no
have purchased any sort of food
The poor fellows, although they ha,
forgotten their animal wants in TIN
execution of their duty, plainly dis
playing in their faces the weakness o
their bodies. Every man Of the
crowded encampment looked wan ano
melancholy, and all kept up their flag.
ing spirits by resolution and patience.
Many manly fellow felt in silence
the bitterness Of his situation. There
was no upbraidings, for all were SUI
ferers alike.
In about an hour after the taking
of the old house in front, we went oct
from our huts in crowd to see the
place of action. | met four or five of
our men wounded, led and carried by
their comrades. The officer com.
manding the party now joined me, and
walked back to the house, to give fur
Their directions regarding other wound
ed men not yet removed. When we
had gone about fifty yards, we met a
wounded soldier carried very slowly in
blanket by four men. AS soon as
he saw the officer who came along
with me, he cried out in feeble but
forced voice, "stop LAY me down
let me speak to the captain"
The surgeon, who was along with
hun, had no objection, for in nay opin-'
ion, he thought the man beyond the
power Of his skill, and the sufferer was
lad gently down upon the turf, under
the shade of projecting rock. |

SUBSTANCE
SUBSTANCE
OF THE SPEECH OF Mr.. LEIGH
At the dinner given to him at Peters.
burg, on the 13th Of October.
,lcoNcLuD

Mr.. Van Buren, had said, that II was
honor enough for him to serve under
such chief. Mr.. L. agreed with him
it soas honor enough for him to serve
under such chief-and the proof Of
i, was, that he had given utterance to
such sentiment. Independently OF
the Presidents good will, and the infu-
ence Of his popularity, Mr.. Van Buren's
hopes of the suffrage Of the Southern
States, and especially Of Virginia and
North Caroline, rested on his "uncom-
promising hostility to the Bank Of the
United States" He had voted in the
Senate, for the Tariff Of 1S2S-he had
voted for appropriations for internal
improvement-hs had gone TO the last
extremes Of the American system the
only Southern ground he could take,
was that of hosiili,yte the Bank. Who
ever understood the arguments Ia fac
vor of the implied powers of the Fed.
eral Government to appropriate money
in works Of Internal improvement, and
of the implied power TO incorporate
national bank, must know, that The two
powers were yindicaled by exactly the
same system OF reasoning and would
find it extremely difficult to UNDER
stand, how any man could entertain
both opinions-lhat the power Of in>
ternal improvement is constitutional,
and that the power to incorporate a
national bank is unconstitutional. The
sophislry Of the passions might recon-
cile The two creeds but they seemed
TO Mr.. l.. SO glaringly inconsistent,
that he could not help thinking, that
Mr.. Van Buren's opinion on the Bank
question nigh, have been some what
influenced by the known sentiments OF
Virginia and North Carolina on the
subject, when, in 1882, he was can.
didate for the Vice Presidency---and
that the inconsistency Of his cons,tu.
tional doctrines would strike and puz.
zle his partizans now, if their zeal to
elect him to the Presidency had not
COMPOUNDED their jndgment--unless in-
deed, he and they were only hostile to
the Bank, not to Bank. Mr.. Van
Bureaus hostility to the Bank might
have been little influenced, too, by
the known opinions Of the President
by the confidence he reposed in the
wisdom OF his chief, and the respect,
love, admiration, venerstion, and 10y
atty, he cherished for him. And Mr..
l.. added, that rseollec!ing the Ian
