A ParSOn in the Army.

In the company commanded by Captain
JACKSON OF the Second Mississippi Regi-
ment called "Tirpah Guards" there is a
Minister Of the. Gospel Of the old Iron
Side Baptist persuasion, whose name is
RocERs, and he is one of the very best
soldiers in the service Parson ROGERS
is private, and performs every duty
promptly and with the utmost cheertulness.
We believe, he was never at any time an
aspirant for office in the company. 1t is
said that he became volunteer soldier
under the impression that Chaplain was
allowed to each Regiment, and intending
to stand poll for that office, but finding
that such was not the case. he never once
thought Of asking for discharge, (Which
he could at any time obtain, but resolved
to see the war out. Should the Second
Regiment ever get into fl. hit, the Psrsoh
will be found where the hottest of the bat
tie RACES. The Parson is tall, rawboned,
powerfully "put up, man, and we take it
that O'Rouke, or deaf Burke, would hard.
ly come off first best" with him in ring.
On one occasion whilst the Regiment was
encamped near Monterey, fellow private
called the Parson "a id liar" The Par
son did not become in the least excited,
but quietly walked to Col. Kilpatrick's
tent, and asked the Colonel "what man
ought to do if another called him, ID
lear;" the Colonel told him, he thought the
question needed no answer. "Enough
said" replied the Parson, and he coolIy
walked of; and going up to the private
who had insu!ted him, he caused him to
repeat the offensive epithet, when he
knocked him down and passed on as tho
nothing had happened. We wish there
was such an office as. Chaplain of the Reg.
iment just that Rogers might get it,.

"Loue is as Strong as Death. THE his
torian Xenophon relates. that when Cyrus
had taken captive prince Of Armenia, to-
gether with his young and beautiful wife,
of whom he was remarkably found, they
were brought before the tribunal of Cyrus
to receive their sentence. The warrior
inquired of the prince what he would give
to be reiDstated in his kingdom. He re
piled that he valued his crown and his
liberty at very low rate, but that, if the
noble conqueror would restore his beloved
wife to her former dignity and possessions,
he would willingly pay his life for the
purchase. The prisoners were dismissed
to enjoy their freedom and former honors,
and each was lavish in praise Of the con-
queror. f-i -1a'.a
"And YOU" said the prince, addressing
his wife, 'swhat think you OF Cyrus?"
II did not observe him." .E
"Not observe him?" exclaimed the hus-
band; chow could this be?"
"My attention." she replied, twas fixed
upon that dear and generous man who de-
clared his readiness to purchase my liberty
at the expense of his life" ~. 81. p.

II Good Ht.-A noted caricaturist hits
off the attempt of the wings to pile their
party duds on Rough and Ready as fol-
lows! The old General is preparing to
lead his columns to the attack of Mex
lean force, and the wings have tied their
'go.cart,' filled with Corwin's speeches,
to his coat tail, and preparing TO jump in
themselyes-hugely satisfied, thus far,
with the trick. As he starts bis coat.,ail
brings him up with jerk, which nearly
throws him off his legs, and he discov ers,
in great rage the cause. Turning upon
them with his swcrd, he cuts the rope, and
knocks them right and LEFT, crying out you
rascals! you are worse than the Mexicans!'
The Boston Atlas, N. Y. Express, and
Albany Evening Journal, are running
away as fast as their legs can carry them,
and yelling out to their comrades Let the
old fool go! he won't workin our harness
1t is decided hit, and will make the
photographers fortnue.--.Nsw Haoen Re-

VA writer in the Boston Times, de-
scribing visit to the Peni.entiary at Phil
adelphia, thus speaks of an interview be.
TWEEN Mr.. ScATTERGooD, the human War
den Of the prison, and young man who
was about to enter on his Imprisonment.
Few will read it without emotion:
1--WE passed on to the ante room again
where we encountered new conner, who
had just reached the prison as we entered.
He was sent up for five years, on charge
Of ENLIGHTENMENT.
He was elegantly attired in the latest
style of fashion, and possessed all the non
chalance and devil.may- care appearance Of
genteel rowdy. He twirled his watch
chain, looking particularly knowing at a
couple Of ladies who CHANGED to be pres
ent, and seemed utterly Indifferent about
himself or the predicamen: he was placed
In! The Warden read his commitment,
and addressed him with

Thee was well situated
Yes, well enough
In good employ
'Well-so So"
1And thee has parents?' ISL
"Yes'-
Pc Perhaps thee has a mother, Charles?''
The convict had been standing during
this brief dialogue perfectly unconcerned
and reckless, until this last interrogatory
was put. Had thunderbolt struck him
ne could not have fallen more sudden than
ne did when the name of "mother" fell on
his ear! He sank into a chair-a torrent
OF tears gushed from his eyes-the very
fountain OF his heart seemed to have burst
on the instant! He recovered partially
and said imploringly to the Warden
A .Dont you, Sir-for Gods sake don'l
call her name in this dreadful place! Do
what you may with me, but don't mention
that name 10 me-" ne

A little child beneath a tree ass
Sat and chanted cheerily 49,.
A little song, a pleasant song i.4
i Which was-she sang it all day long
..When the wind blows the blossoms fall;
But good God reigns over ALL"
There passed lady by the way,
Moaning in the face Of day:
There were tears upon her cheek,
Grief in her heart too great to speak;
Her husband died but yester morn,
And left her in the world forlorn.
She stopped and listened to the child
That looked to heaven, and singing, smiled;
And saw not for her own despair,
Another lady young and fair,
Who also passing stopped to hear
The infants anthem ringing clear.
For she but few sad days before
! Had lost the little babe she bore;
And grief was heavy at her soul
AS that sweet memory o'er her stole,
Ard showed how bright had been the Past,
The Present drear and overcast.
And as they stood beneath the tree
Listening, soothed and placidly,
Ayouth came by, whose sunken eyes
Spake of load of miseries:
And he arrested like the twain,
Stopped to listen to the strain.
Death had bowed the youthful head
or his bride beloved, his bride unwed;
Her marriage robes were fitted on,
Her fair young face with bushes shone,
When the destroyer smote her low,
And changed the lovers bliss to woe.
And these three listened to the song,
yer-toned, and sweet, and strong,
Which that child, the live-long day,
Chanted to itself in play:
"When the winds blows the blossoms fall,
But good God reigns over all.''
The widows lips impulsiye moved;
The mothers grief tho unreproved,
Softened as her trembling tongue
Repeated what the infaut sung;
And the sad lover with start,
COINED it over to his heart.
And though the child-if child it were
And not a seraph sitting there
Was seen no more, the sorrowing three
Went or their way resignedly,
The song still ringing in their ears
Was it music OF the spheres?
Who shall tell? They did not know.
But in the midst of deepest woe
The strain REQUIRED when sorrow grew,
To warn them, and console them too :
tsWhen the wind blows the blossoms fall,
But good God reigns over ALL"

ASEcporE OF CHARLES XII.-The mad
King Of Sweden, as he was called by some
OF his contemporaries, was pledged man,
il not a member of teetotal society,"
Charles, as every body knows, in the COM
mencement Of his career, drank to great
excess. In one of his drunken bouts, he
so far overstepped the limits of propriety
as to treat the Queen, his mother, with
great disrespect. The next day, on being
informed of his rudeness, he took glass
of wine in his hand, and repaired to the
Queens room. MADAM" said he to her,
81 have been informed that yesterday, in
my cups, forgot myself to you. / come
to ask your pardon, and to prevent re-
currence OF such fault, | drink this glass
to your health, 1t shall be the last during
my li.e." He kept his word, from that
day he never tasted wine. In his subse.
quent life, no King was ever known to
have undergone greater hardships, and no
man TO have enjoyed better health than
this cold water monarch.

Mankind in the 18th Century.-They
had neither looked into heaven nor earth,
neither into the sea nor the land, as has
been done since. They had philosophy
without experiment, mathematics without
instrument, geometry without scale astron-
emy without demonstration. They made
war without powder, shot, cannon or NOR
tiers; nay the mob made their bonfires,
without squibs or crackers. They went
to sea without compass and sailed without
the needle. They viewed the stars with
out telescopes, and measured ATTITUDES
without barometers. Learning had no
printing press, writing 40 paper, and pa
per no ink. The lover was forced to send
his mistress deal board for love letter,
and billet doux might be of the size OF
an ordinary trenchcr. They were cloth
ed without manufactures, and the richest
robes were the skins OF the most formida-
BILE monsters. They carried on trade with
out books, and correspondence without
posts; their merchants, KEEP! no accounts,
their shopkhepers no casll-book; they had
surgery without anatomy, and physicians,
without materia medica; they gave emetics
without ipecacuanna, and cured sgues
without bark.

Women.-Never shrink from a .woman
of strong sense. Ii she becomes attached
TO you, it will be from seeing or valuing
similar qualities in yourself. ""ou may
trust her. for she knows the value of our
confidence. You may consul, her, for she is
able TO advise, and does at once " It'll The
firmness Of reason and the consideration
Of affection. Her love will be lasting, for
it will not have been lightly Won it will
be strong and ardent, tar weak minds are
not capable Of the of,ier grades OF passion.
If you prefer to attach yourselfto woman
Of weak understanding, it must either be
from fearing to encounter a superior per-
son, or from the vanity of pre!ering that
admiration which springs from ignorance,
to that which approachesto appreciation.
