Elclnsmiscence oG vyashing,on.

The revolution was over Eight years
conflict had ceased, and now the warriors
were to separate for ever, turning their
weapons into ploughshares, and their camps
into workshops. The spectacle, though Il
sublime and glorious one, was yet attended
with sorfowtul feelings for, alas. IN the
remnants OF that gallant army OF patriotic
soldiers now about to disband without pay,
withous support, stalked poverty and dis
ease. The country haG not the means to
be grateful.
The details Of the condition of many OF
the officers aud soldiers of that period, ac-
cordiug TO history and oral tradition, were
melancholy In the extreme. Possessing
no means Of patrimonial inheritance to fall
back upon-rhruwn out OF even the peril
Gus support Of the soldier at the commence
ment of winter, and hardly fit for any other
duty than that OF the camp-thelr situation
can better be imagined than described.
a single instance, as sample OF the
situation of many Of the officers, as related
of the conduct of Baron Steuben, may not
be amiss. When the main body OF the
army was disbauded al Newburg, and the
veteran soldiers were bidding Z parting
farewell to each other, Lieut.. Col. Coch-
ran, an aged soldier at the New Hampshire
line, remarked, with tears in his eyes, as
he shook hands with the baron
"For myself l could stand it; but my
wife and daughters are iii the garrison OF
that wretched tavern, and have no means
of removing them"
"Come, come" said the baron, "don't
L .p
Mrs. Cochran and her daughters" 5"
When the good old soldier left them,
their countenances were warm with graf
itude-for he left there all he had.
In one of the Rhode Island regiments
were several companies Of black troops,
who had served through the whole war,
and their bravery and discipline were un-
surpassed. The baron observed one OF
these poor negroes on the wharf at New
burg, apparently III great distress.
"What is the matter, brother soldier
"Why, Master Baron, | want dollar to
get home with, now the Congress has nc
farther use for me-"
The Baron was absent for few moments
and then returned with silver dollar that
he had borrowed. ;,
"There, it's all l could get. Take it. y
The ne gro received it with JOY, hailed a
sloop which was passing down the river to
New York, apd as he reached the deck,
took off his hat and said
"God bless you, Master Baron"
These are only single illustrations of the
army at the close of the war; Indeed,
Washington had this view at the close OF
his farewell address to the army at Rocky
Hill, in November, 1893.
"And being now aboutto conclude these
his last public orders, to take his ultimate
leave in a short time Of the military char
acter, and to bid final adieu TO the armies
he has SO long had the honor to command,
he can only again offer, in their behalf,
his recommendations to their country, and
his PRAYER to the God of armies.

Take me from this clash and tumult,
Burst the town-bonds, give me air;
Oh! do not like the world-look
That these stony faces wear,-
Time-worn faces,
Love-lost faces
Joyless, world-worn, stony faces;
Oh! DO not like the world-look
That these stony faces wear.
Bear me back, alone with nature,
Where dreamy sunshine lies,
Like Gods love on every feature
OF the landscape or the skies;-
Where the loving winds have revelled,
And the thought-elves talked and toiled,-
Though it leave my locks dishevelled,
And my garments sore assoiled.
Oh! hate this cIang and hustle,
Where life's heart-ache throbs and heaves.
Hate your silvery, silken rustic,
Robes that scorn the forest leaves:
And these stiff, impassive faces
Never sunlike, always old -
Where there lie no Iove-born traces
OF the hearts forgotten gold.
Take me from this toll and bustle;-
From this gush Of siIken sheen;
Where the green leaves smile and rustic,
And the thought-elves lurk 5ctwccn;-
Dreamy spirits.
Flashing spirits,
Hear We what their whispers mean?
OH love the leay es' sweet rustic,
Where the thought-elves lurk between

HoME.-It is little word it has its
own interests, its own laws, its own diff
cUl;!es and sorrows, It's own blessings and
joys. 1t is the sanctuary OF the heart,
where the affections are cherished in the
tcnderest relations, where the heart is
joined to heart, and love triumphs over
all selfish calculations. 1t is the training
school OF the tender plants, which in after
years are to yield flowers and fruit, to pa
ternal care. Ii is the stream which beau
tify and enliven social life.
If any man should have home, it is
the man OF business He is the true work
ing man Of the community. Yhe mechan-
ic has his fixed hours, and when these
have run their course, he may, ere the
day closes, dismiss all arXieties as his la
bors end, and seek the home circle Com
paratavely little has been the tax on his
mind, and not much more on his physical
system as he learns to make all easy
But the man of business is under con-
slant pressure His is not ten-hour sys-
tenn, with an interval OF rest but lie is
driven onward and onward early and late,
without the calculation of hours He
must be employed. In the earnestness OF
competition-in the complexity of mod
ern modes of business-in the fluctuations
which frequently occur-in the solicitous
dependence on the fidelity and integrity
Of others-he has 70 leisure moments du-
ring the day. Withea mind necessarily
under exciting engagement, and body
without Its appropriate nutriment, he may
well pant for home, and hail the moment
when he may escape from his tolls to seek
its quiet, and its affection and confidence.

DIRECT TAXATION

Mr.. Hunter believes that with the protection
of such q revenue tariff as the proposed South
ern Coufederacy will enact, manufactures in
Virginia will bud and blossom like the rose.
This delightful anticipation is incontinently
knocked in the head by Mr.. Rust, of Arkansas,
who says:
al take It for granted, that if we have a
purely Southern or slave.labor Confederacy, we
will Immediately insugurate free trade in its
unqualified sense. The people Of the South
are not to be alarmed at the sight of the tax.
gatherer. It will not be difficult to convince
the least enlightened among them that it will
be infinitely better for them to pay one dollar
directly than ten indirectly for the support of
any Government under which they may live."
We remark in passing, that a preliminary
test Of the capacity and willingness of certain
people to pay direct taxes, might be made in
Arkansas, in the shape of tax to pay the in.
terest on the debt of that State, left unpaid for
twenty years back. If the experiment should
succeed, II would be gratifying to the creditors
Of that State, and be an encouragement towards
establishing the new Southern Confederacy.
