NATIONAL AIRS.

II scarcely requires reference to the never
falling influence of the Marsellois Hymn in
France-of the RAM des Vache in Switzer-
land, and of God save the King in England, to
convince the world of the power which national
airs exercise over the passions and energies OF
all men, in all countries. None partake more of
this enthusiasm than our own citizens; but Ame-
rica labors under an Inconvenience in arousing
this influence in public places, which is not felt
in any of the Nations we have named, which is
that the National airs Of our country have never,
or seldom been arranged for full orchestras. Mr.
Caldwell, whose eXertions are ever alike to in
culcate good taste, and indulge every patriotic
feeling. has long wished to make our national
airs familiar to the st. Charles theatre but has
hitherto labored under the deficiency we allude
to, and we but embody his wishes and feelings
in drawing attention to this subject. To remedy
this want and to crafty the public wish, he
offers reward to any competent musical man,
who will arrange for full orchestra three of our
National airs,-W Washington's March, h,-IIail Co.
Yankee Doodle.
The want of good orchestral arrangement of
these national airs, has hitherto prevented their
being played in the St. Charles, as often, or as
well, as was earnestly wished and in the fulfil
ment of this proposition, Mr.. Caldwell will not
only be enabled to crafty the public by ndugng
their enthusiasm for national airs, but encou-
rage competition among our musical men which
must tend to the enlargement of good musical
taste.-N. O. .Anaericaa.

How TO GET OUT.-An eccentric though wor-
thy and d1excellent divine, (the Reverend Emanuel
Glebe) having, few summers ago, determined
to make tour, he took leave of his flock, with
more than ordinary feelings of good WILL but as
he was what the world calls "a good liver he ex-
tended his care likewise over a cellar well stored
with the best wine. The store naturally demand
ed his attention before he left home, the Doctor
rang his BELL and his faithful servant John imme-
diately stood before him; taking out of his purse
a half crown, Here, John take this, 90 to the
blacksmith's in the village, and buy with it three
ten-penny nails Immediately Picture to your
self now the worthy Doctor and John in the sub
terraneous vaults, consulting for the safety of the
choice spirits there immured 'Give me the
candle, John, shuttle door, and drive nail here
at the top John hammered. 'Hitit hard, ] John,

Yes, SIR up to the head, John. Il will,
SIR Nov the third here, a little way from the
bottom, John Yes, SIR This being accom-
plished, both paused to view the work, when the
Doctor exclaimed with exultation, Now, John, |
think we have the business ceverly; you don't
think any body can manage to get in now, John,
do your John, however, it seems, during the
pause at the conclusion of driving the nails, had
reflected. that he was on the wrong side to run
away, and had nailed himself and his master UP
III the cellar, along with the wine, in their anxi-
ETY. to prevent others from getting in; he therefore
very laconically observed in answer to his qucs-
tion--'No, sir, am afraid nobody can get in; but
how are we TO get outn Conviction then first
flashed upon the Doctors mind, and being con-
siderably annoyed at his situation he replied. :.
with warmth, You stupid fellow, John, why,
why, why did you not tell me at first, John: Won
great fool, John, shout, John. o, dear, we are

Incident IN the Battle Of Chippewa.-Wh
General Scott was in town yesterday, several of
our citizens called to pay their respects to him;
among others, Mr.. H., one of our most estimable
who had known Gen. Scott in the war
of 1912. General Scott, in introducing Mr.. III.
to his aids, referred to an incident in the battle Of
Chippewa, In the engagement on the 5th July,
1914, Gen. Scott said he saw three drummer
boys who were near the troops and exposed to
the fire of the enemy. He directed them to 90
back where they would be out of danger. The
boys retired. Two Of their drums had been spoil
ed by shot, and they were disputing about the
possession of the third drum which was whole.
when two of them were killed by a cannon ball :,
which took off the heads Of both. General Scott
said that one of the most affecting sights he ever
beheid, was the surviving boy gazing at the bo-
ules OF his two companions--it spectacle
winch made him weep. The boys were all
about 10 years of age. The survivor was Mr.
JARVIS r. Hanks, of this city, who in reference
to this incident may say with the Roman poet or
in more devout sense, "sic me servavit Apollo. ,,

for this circumstance. Pins are always pernicious

Lie in his narrow tomb,
And, in that mortal bed,
Wear an immortal bloom.

Low in his grave, as fair
AS if he could not die,
And God himself was there!

In scorn Of all but truth,
Hang on his lips the while,
And speak eternal youth.

AS If with glory fraught,
When lines were not as now,
Beam with immortal thought.

As if the mighty God

For there he lay, as whole

Touched by tn immortal soul
Low in his sepulchre!
Thus lay-while saints looked on
The immortal Son of Him
Whose light, through Washington,
No sepulchre can dim.

And when the sun shall die!

E him yet!''
Tell her she haunts rae yet,
As in those vanished years:
Tell her, since last we met,
These eyes have shed no tears!
Tell her my very smile
Hath caught the chill Of care
And that my heart is dark with guile;
What doth her memory there?
Wherefore doth she return,
Where all is dim and lone?
As a lamp whose bright rays burn,
Beneath funeral stone!
Better the dead should sleep,
Unmocked by that red glare;
Better she ne'er should sweep
Across my SOULS despair!
Tell her, with yearnings vain,
I've stretch'd mine arms on high
Praying to meet again
Her smile-if but to die!
But tell her now pray
With closed and shadowed eyes
All dreams may melt away,
That leave such memories!
Tell her my soul hath lost,
Its purity and truth;
Tell her my visions crossed,
Have worn away my youth!
Tell her my heart is dearth,
My brow like age is wan;
And that stand on earth
A God -forsaken man!

WASHINGTON.

The sepulchre of the Father Of his Country was recent
ly opened, in order to place his remains in the marble
sarcophagus presented by Mr.. Sruters of Philadelphia
When the lid Of the coin was raised, the haowed form
of WASHINGTON was discovered in wonderful state OF
preservation. The lofty brow still wore its wonted
majesty, and the compressed lips preserved their life like
air OF calm decision and command. The attendants
overawed by the aspect of the sleeping hero and the
whose lot it to transfer the sacred dust to its
new receptacle was SO overpowered by emotion that

was charged to work in most elaborate manner,

ing of this handkerchief, the designs for which,
la n,aye,a age, had been given by distinguished
artist, had occupied the embroderess and four as
sistants from the beginning of August to the mid
die of November last. For this the sum of 1O4Of

the Tribunal dismissed the suit, throwing the
