s-kiss Me Good Night, Mothers

A Philadelphian, just returned from
Washington, has related to the editor
of the Press the following incident OF
the recent disasterous battle at Manas
sas Gap:
In the Government hospital, on the
day after the battle, lay a youthful
member of the Ellsworth Zouave
Corps, who, notwithstanding the fright
full nature of his wounds, bore his suf-
ferings with patient heroism akin to
inspiration. For a long time he seemed
unconscious of the presence of his
heart broken mother, who watched by
his couch fondly, yet in anguish OF
spirit, and lay like one in trance. A,
length, turning slowly over on his side
his vacant eyes met her longing, ago
nizing gaze. A train of long buried
recollections seemed instantly to have
awakened themselves in his bosom.
and, murmuring with the artlessness oil
a child, kiss me good night, MOTHER
he fell back dead
The gentleman, to whom the incident
was related, pencilled the following
lines, IN the ears, during his trip iron
Baltimore to this city:
Mother, dear mother, the day has seemed long,
Since the lark warbled his matinal song.
Sadly the hours have passed since the morn;
Darky the moments that ne'er can returnl
No beaming hopefulness, no joyous ray,
No cheerful sunshine to brighten my way.
But MOTHER your kiss turns the darkness to light
Ass me good night, mother, kiss me good night
mother, dear mother Pm longing for rest
longing to slumber for aye with the blest;
But when my sad spirit from earth-life is free,
Sun shall thy presence seem nigh unto me
Oft thy wild kiss of parting shall fall on INV brow
Thy sad, fearful eyes gaze upon me. as now.
And often I'll say, with the angels in white.
kiss me good night mother, kiss me good NIGHT >,
Many such incidents of that fearful
day could doubtless be related, and w,
cannot regard it as ever too late to re
call them.

"Who is this miserably dressed person

"She must have no small amount OF

"The more so, as sister Egrie, of no
bic birth, had never forgiven her for that
misalliance."
Anna moved at this time across the
room in which the family of the deceas-
ed were assembled. She was pale; her
eyes were filled with tears, and here face
was furrowed by care with precociOua
wrinkles.
"What do you come here forl' said
Madame De Villeboys, with haughtiness,
who, a moment before, had been interro-
eating the little man who inherited with
her.

humility, 81 do not come here to claim

Anne.
At this moment, a venerable person

"Cease," said he, "to reproach Anne

"But why Is this woman herel" said
the notary gravely. Il, myself, request
