Who died of wounds
Received in action with the
ENEMY ON THE 25rn OF JULY, 1Sl4."

And this is honor! This is fame! Why.
brave man! cen now, read the tribute to
thy bravery in the bulletin Of the action.
Thou hadst comrades-lather, mother,
sisters-to mourn thy loss-and noac the
strangers foot carelcssly spurns thy frail
memento, nor father, mother, sisters, no
human hand can point to the spot where
rest thy ashes. Peace to thy ashes.
Peace to thy names! brave counlrvmen,
where'er they sleep. See from this point
how gently and gracefully undulates the
battlefield; the woods bowling to the
evening breeze as the soft sunlight pours
through their branches, show not the
gashes of rude cannon shot-the plain,
loaded and bending with the yellow har-
vest, betrays no human gore. Yon hill
scathed, scorchcd and blackened with
cannon flame, the very resting place of the
deadly battery, is covered with the fra.
grant clover and wild bue-bell, the bee
IN monotonous hum banquets DER it.

The trenzied passion passed, the furious

sweetly in the lap of that common Moth

little field mouse from its gambols, and the
turbaned Sultan sinking amid his PROSTATE

NoTE.-The reader is referred for a
more detailed account of the action to
Brackenridge's History of the late War,

descriptions of a late accomplished but
now retired officer of the U. S. Army.

HE PAST AGEs.-We are struck wifi
amaZement at the wonderful remains of
former times In every quarter of the
globe we find some interesting memorial
OF by gone ages. The spirit of invest.
CATION has opened the entombed cities .of
llerculaneum s. Pompeii, and presented
to our view the people and their mode of
living their advances in the arts and sci.
ences, at their era of existence. In he
iryram!us' we trace people that have
long since left the stage of existence ttt
have given MS strong indications Of their
malchless achievements. Nature, TOO, ,ath
opened ut her great volume for us to see
the relics of a lace of animals that have
written their history by their bones. The
immense amount of the mere remains of
The extinct races, that are to be found OH
the land, and on the margin of the sea.
proclalms the might of God who called
every thing into existence by the word Of
his power The wonderful amount of
skeletons that have been found Is
truly astonishing. IIenderstrom, in bis
journal; says that the bones orthis animal
may not inaptly be called the peculiar
produce of Siberia and the northern Isr

proceeded towards the north, the smaller

interior OF Siberia it is not an uncommon
thing to meet with one of four times that
weight. On the other hand, the immense
quantities OF these bones found III the
Siberian Islands, form one of the most re-
markablc phenomena connected with
lhese singular remains. In the words ~
sannlcknow, one of Henderstrom's com.
panIons, "the first of the Lnchow Islands
is little more than one mass of n,ammo,b
boncs;;" and though, for upwards ofei~h.

The western coast; and there, when after

A correspondent of village paper, in
this State appends the following to mar
riage notice:
And now, dear youths, since you've es-

May truth and virtue be arraycd,
To guide and guard each heart and

Whereupon the bard of the opposing
paper thus responds.

For THE WnG.
In world like this who would wish to stay
Where visionary pleasures dim the bright way
lnconstant they DAZZLE cntcing their aim;
We grasp with our might, but we catch not
the flame.
Who would cling to this earth, so darkencd by
sin,
That virtue must keep her bright spirit within
But hope for place, where the spirit can rest,
In mansions Of bliss-in the arms of the blcst
No trouble shall compass the soul in its sleep,
Whilst time in his c curse over the world sllal
sweep,
But waiting the day when the trumpet shall blow
When pleasures in heaven forever will flow
The pathway lis true, appears drcary and dark
But by virtue and patience we reach the safe
ark,
The prize then repays us, though purchased by
pain,
And the pleasures VIC leave, it were folly to
gain

THE FESTIVECJTP

BY Il. II. PRATT.
Take, take away the festive cup
Nor tempt me with the winning nlass-
For plainly DER It's mirror brim,
Dark forms Of vice, like spectres pass:
Each flowing bowl-each sparkling drop,
Is pregnant with unnunbcr'd ills
Awakened mem'ry off unfolds
Fast scenes, at which the bosom thrills!
lake, take away the festive cup
NO more its potent spell feel
Twill tear each germ of virtue UP,
AMI DER the heart like shadows steal;
For though It's wreath'd in rosy smiles,
And seeming pleasure in it ride
There's misery, and attendant train,
Commngling with its purple tide!
Take, take away the festive cup!
1t chills my soul with horrid fears!
lis hll'd with woe-with wretchedncss-
With Widows, and with orphans tears:
Oh may |, with supernal aid,
BE guarded from its magic powers
Then will the heart beat light and free,
And gladstone as in boyhoods hours.
