MAJOR RINGGOLD.
He has fallen! he has fallen,
The chivalrous and brave!
The young and ardent soldier
Is dreaming In his grave!
He has fallen! he has fallen,
With glory on his name,
In the budding of his llurels,
And the morning of his fame.
Death! thou art called beautiful
In the innocent and fair,
As thou cometh like blessing
On the evenings scented air,
But, death thou art more glorious,
When the youthful hero dies,
When the flag of Freedom waving
Like meter DER his eyes.
He has fallen! he has fallen,
For his country fair and free,
In the foremost rank he's fallen,
For no craven heart had he,
In the summer land they've placed him,
Meath sky that's ever blue,
And heaven never smiled on one
More generous and true!

sworn TO avenge his brothers death, stood
| there with dilating eyes and parted lips.
Then the culprit kneeling on the floor,
with face like dscolored clay, felt his heart
leap TO his throat.
| Then in clear, bold voice, the widow
read this line from the Old TESTAMENT
was short, yet terrible: a4
CHAT MAN SHALL dep
Look! The brother springs forward to
plunge knife into the murderer's heart, but
the Tory, pinioned as he is, clngs to the
Widows knees! He begs that one more trial
may be made by the little girl, that child Of
five years, with golden hair and laughing
eyes. A.s5
The widow consents; there is an awful
pause.
With smile in her eye, without knowing
what she does, that little girl opens the Bible
as it lays on her mothers knee---she turns
her laughing face away--she places her fin
ger upon line.
That awful silence grows deeper!
The deep-drawn breath of the brother, the
broken gasps of the murderer, alone disturb
the silence. THE widow and dark.eyed boy
are bleathless.
That little girl, unconscious as she was,
caught a feeling of awe, from the horror of
the countenaces around her, and stood breath
less, her face turned aside, her tiny fingers
resting on that line of life OF death.
AT last gathering courage, the widow bent
her eyes to the page, and read. 1t was
line from the New Testament:
GLOVE YOUR ENEMIES"
All! that moment was sublime!
oh! awful Book of God, in whose dread
pages we see Job talking face to face with
Jehovah, or Jesus waiting by Samaria's well,
or wandering by the waves of dark Gallee.
Oh! awful Book, shining tonight, as speak,
the light of that widows home, the glory of
that mechanics shop, shining where the
world comes not, to look on the last night
of the convict in his cell, tightening the way
to God, even over that dread gibbet. Oh!
book of terrible majesty and child-like love,
of sublimity that crushes the soul into awe,
of beauty that melts the heart with rapture -
you never shone more strangely beautiful
than there, in the lonely cot of the Wissa-
hikon, when you saved that murderer's
life?
Formed I tell you--that murderer's life
was saved! That widow recognised the fin
ger of God--even the stern brother was awed
into silence. ...
The murderer went his way.
Now look ye, how wonderful are the ways
of Heaven!
That very night, as the widow safe by her
lonely hearth--her orphans by her side--sate
there with crushed heart and hot eye-balls,
thinking of her husband, who now lay moul-
dering on the blood-drenched sod of Paoli'--
there was a tap at the door.
She opened the door, and--that husband
living, though covered with many wounds,
was in her arms
He had fallen at Paol--but not in death.
He was alive; his wife lay painting on his
breast.
That there was prayer in that WOODEN
powered Cot of the Wissahkon!

That some one man in that, or any other

such thing will surprise no one; but that
a leading print of character, like the Atlas
could be found to give utterance to so base

in the land, entertaining the sentiments of
this writer, upon the Oregon question, but
that anv party, as such, can be found doing
so, is impossible. Will not the associate

To YoUNe LADIEs:-I have found that
the men who are really the most fond of the
society of the ladies, who cherish for them
a high respect, are seldom the most popular
with the sex. Men of great assurance,
whose tongues are highly hung, who make
words supply the place Of ideas; and place
compliment in the room of sentiment, are
the avorites. A due respect for women
leads TO respectful action towards them
and respectful is usually distant action, and
this great distance is mistaken by them for
neglect or want of interest-AddiSon.

, CHARITY.-An Odd Fellow defending his
order in the N. Y. Observer, has the follow
ing contrast of the charity of the society and
the Church. 1t conveys as severe areproof
upon Christian hospitality and charity as We
have seen for some time;
As an Odd Fellow, in whatever quarter of
the world may be, and in whatever trouble
or distress, by making myself known, | can
receive all sympathy and assistance that !
need. Can |, as a servant of Christ, and
member of his church? Both my experience
and observation demonstrate the truth that
there is little in christian love in the church,
and that a man in strange land can claim
nothing as christian that he could not
claim as wording. The language of Odd
fellowship passes current wherever the Order
is known, while the language of Canaan is
at low discount, even among those who
ought TO love all who speak, it. Odd Fellows
take care of each other when sick, and take
charge of the funeral expenses of their poor
est member when dead. The poor christian,
Gods favorite, is not missed from the way
side when sick, and when he dies, he is
thrown into the corner OF the grave yard.

GREEN SASS DRINKS.

A Hosier stopped opposite of one Of our
fashionable drinkinging saloons day or
two since. and with his hands deep in his
pockets, and front of his chip turned up,
seemed looking with absorbing interest in
to the interior, al an individual uxuriating
on julip, with strawa compartments.
"Well I'll swar, if that amt a new kick y
says he. "Who'd thort of seech thing
as green sass drink, How consarned
cool that ar feller sucks it." soliloquised he,
moving his body in sympathetic manner,
as if engaged in drawing the fluid himself
"I'll hev taste of tnat mxtur' ef | busts a
Bit" was his conclusion; SO in he went
"What will you take sir 2" inquired the
bar keeper.
ssJest go on and give that feller his lick
er, caus aint as dry as he looks" said the
Hosier, pointing III a customer at the other
end of the counter.
"Now, SIR" said the attentive attendant.
The Hosier reached across the counter,
took hold of his collar, and drawing him
close up, whispered in his ear.
"A green sass drink, with all the fxins!"
and he winked his eye familiarly, as if to
convey his meaning more fully that all the
ingredients should be thar
eyes, sir" said the bar keeper.
The mint was fixed in, the ice beside il,
the sugar piled on top, and the fluid deli
cately poured over all; the whole was then
commingled, and with the accompanying
straw ornament, handed to the customer.
He pulled his hand out Of his pocket, pick
ed up the glass, and commenced first suck
and then a guffaw, which exercise he con-
tinued until the straw squealed with empt-
mess, whereupon, setting it down, he pull
ed out his bit, and repeated the operation
of whispering to the bar keeper, and told
him secretly:
"I've seed through them ar green sass
drinks---their pooty good, all 'cept the ice,
and reckon thur cold enough'thout that,
but, stranger, that fodder stuff is an amazin'
