H SOLDIER BOY.

I give my soldier boy a blade,
In fair Damascus fashioned well;
When first the glittering falchion swayed,
Who first beneath its fury fell,
] know not; but hope to know
That NO mean or hireling trade,
To guard no feeling base or low,
Igive my soldier boy a blade.
Cool, calm and clear the lucid food
In which the tsmpering work was done /;
As calm, as clear, as clear of mood,
Be thou whene'er it sees the sun
For country's claim, for honor's call,
For outraged friend, insulted maid,
AT mercy's voice to bid it fall,
Igiye my soldier boy a blade.
The eye which marked its peerless edge,
The hand that weighed its balanced poise,
Anvil and pincers, forge and wedge,
Are gone, with all their flame and noise;
And still the cleaning sword remains;
So, when in dust low am laid,
Remember, by these heartfelt stains,
lgive my soldier boy a blade.

Strange Incident.

A correspondent relate the following
circumstance to the St. Louis Republican.
In the early settlement of Denver City
a difficulty arose between two prominent
citizens, which resulted in the sending of a
challenge to fight duel. The parties met
in deadly conflict. The weapons chosen
were guns, with ounce balls. At first fire
one of the parties fell dangerously wound
ed the other escaped unharmed. The in
jured man was conveyed to hotel where
his wounds were dressed and cared for by
a young and talented surgeon of the city.
From the effect of that gun-shot wound
the wretched man fingered in great agony
for over year, helpless and penniess.-
The charity of the friends and neighbors
of the unfortunate victim to most unfor-
tunate duel, supplied him with all the nec-
essaries, and rendered all the aid in their
power to render him as comfortable as pos
sble under the circumstances. The young
physician was an almost constant attendent
upon the sufferings of the poor man, and
ministered to them, we'll knowing that his
patient was poor and would Tot be able to
pay him for his services, yet he stood by
him to tile last, as true friend Of suffer
ing humanity, and after his patient was
dead and buried, the young Doctor unex-
pectedy found himself heir by will to one
fourth of the estate of the deceased, which
consisted of only a few gold claims in these
mines, worth not over a hundred dollars,
not enough TO defray the funeral expenses.
Yet the young man. was satisfied-he was
conscious of having done his duty, and
that to him was sufficient reward.
Months passed away, and it was found
that one of the gold claims belonging to
the estate of the deceased on the Bobtail
Lode was very valuable, and only few
DAYS since, the heirs received ten thousand
dollars cash for the claim, and the deserv-
ing young Doctor received his pecuniary
reward of nearly twenty-five hundrd dol
lars, and yet has claims which are located
on rich gold lodes, that are very valuable.
'He cast his bread upon the waters, and
verify he has his reward.

An Appeal to the Union Men of
the Border states.

The Louisville Journal makes the fol-
lowing appeal to the Union men Of Ken
lucky. As the Journal was very severe
on the Proclamation of the President, the
reader may wish to know what advice the
leading Union paper of-Kentucky gives TO
those with whom it has been acting. 1t
says:
san attempt is now made by the Seces-
sionists to take advantage of that grevous
and inexcusable blunder, Mr.. Lincoln's
Proclamation, and hurry our people away
upon the rushing tide Of excitement. We
advise them to be calm. Its time for
deep, stern thoughts, not for loud yells,
and shouts, and huzzas. Men can better
make up their minds in the silence of SOL
emn reflection than in noise, and tumult,
and confusion. If any man, who was not
a Secessionist, has been made Secession
ist by Mr.. Lincoln's Proclamation, he is
guilty of weakness and imbecility that he
should blush to acknowledge to the world,
or even to himself. Mr.. Lincoln i S not the
United Stats Government. The Govern
ment, we hope, will last forever. We
would sooner acknowledge kinship with
Insects and reptiles than permit ourselves
to be driven or influenced by Mr.. Lincoln,
or any other officer, into violatian of our
allegiance or into an attitude of the Gov
ernment that has held its broad @gis over
US from our infancy.
"Friends of the Union! we earnestly in
woke each and all Of you to stand to your
integrity. II temptation beset you, think
of Washington and Jackson, and Clay, and
all the other mighty patriots whose awful
dust has mingled with the common dust
of earth, and spurn the tempters behind
you as you would spurn tie spirit of per-
dillon. Be true to your country, true to
yourselves, true to your fathers, true to
your posteaity, and true to God, and all
will soon be we'll.

The Guns and MOrtars Of Fort
sumter Declared Incapable OF
InJnrimS Charleston.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Express writes on the evening
OF The 7,h inst:
The distance from Fort Sumter to the
point of Charleston which lies nearest 10 it
-the.lower end of the lower docks a.
bout three and three-eighths statute miles,
or, more exactly, is 5,94O yards. This ex-
ceeds the capacity of any known mortar to
throw a shell l,340 yards. I speak upon
best and highest authority. Therefore, if
Major Anderson had in Sumter mortar
capable of throwing shell 1900 yards,
1.-THE largest capacicy of any mortar) the
shell so thrown would fall short of the near.
est point of Charleston 1910 yards. But
he had no'such mortar.
The largest guns in Fort Sumter are
eigbt-iuch and ten inch Columbiads. The
range of the former, or capacity to throw
ball or shell, is 4.s00 yards; that of the
that of the latter $500 yards. The range
or capacity of the eight-inch Columbiad is,
therefore, LAO yards short of the nearest
point of Charleston, and that of the ten-inch
$40 yards. In fact the largest Columbiad
known to our service is but twelve inches,
of which. l think, we have but one, and
that not at Charleston, with range or
capacity of $500 yards-240 yards less
than the distance between Fort Sumter
and Charleston.
Had Sumter been provided with the efec-
tive gun for great distances, with which it
was possible to have furnished it-Dahl-
green's rifled cannon-made on hand at the
Navy yard here, it would have been possi-
Die for Anderson not only to have thrown
balls to Charleston, but into the city,
aud, if necessary, quite overit. Tests have
established the superiority of range of this
cannon over every other. Its limit is not
less than five miles.
But no such wisdom has marked the ad-
ministration of the War and Navy Depart
ments as was necessary to render them Ca
pable of answering demands that might be
made for service in connection with one or
the other. Hence in that great and impor-
tant forlifeation, Fort Sumter, there is not
one rifled cannon-and, therefore, there is
no power therein to throw shell or ball
therefrom to or into Charleston. Fort Sum-
ter can not, then, visit any direct scourge
upon Charleston, either in return for an at
tack by the secession forces, or any other
cause. " Impossible is the reply to ev-
ery intimation Of the sort.

WH1cH OsE?-Most of our exchanges
are saying that James A. McDougall is he
newly elected United States Senator from
California. A few have placed his brother
John, former Lieutenant, Governor, in the
same place. The former is the man. In
Is44-5 he served as Attorney-G General Of
Illinois, and was the Democratic opponent
of the gallant Hardin for Congress in his
first race for batposition. He left Spring
field in 1916 and located in Chicago, where
he practiced his profession for some time,
when he emigrated to California among the
first emigrants to the new Eldorado, after
its acquisition by the United States. Mr..
McDougall in California, at once took
high position as lawyer, and was elected
in 1853 4 to the lower House Of Congress
in which body be served with marked abil-
ity

One Drop at a 2ime.-Have you ever
watched an icicle as it formed? You no.
ticed how it froze one drop at a time until
it was foot loug, or more. If the water
was clean, the icicle remained clear, and
sparkled brightly in the sun; but if the wa
ter was but slightly muddy, the icicle look
ed foul, and its beauty was spoiled. just
SO our characters are forming-one little
thought, or feeling at time adds its inAu-
ence. If each thought be pure and right,
the soul will bo lovely, ,and will sparkle with
happiness but if impure and wrong there
will be final deformity and wretchedness.
