Tor the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too
For all human ties that bind me,
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that can do.

With all that is divine;
To feel there is union

Grow wiser from conviction
And fulfill each grand design.

When man shall live BY reason,

When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted

For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,

though his business is ruined his prospects be-.
couded, and his family reduced to want; who
malotains his integrity amid the porious temp
lo''ons Of the hour, and bravcly, hopeful y
struggles against these stern adver5tics, upbornc
by an unyiedias faith in Providence, is hero.
And in yondcr room where that poor pale faced

with aching eyes and wasting frame, brayey
battles off gount starvation, or ilouting iniamy
with no other weapons than trusting heart
and a little needle, there is one Of Gods great

Mr. John NJ. Collins of Virginia, son of the
celebrated Methodist preacher, Rev. John A.
Collins, has given the following narrative Of
his experiences in the south, to the Washing
ton Star -
Mr.. Collins arrived at Memphis, Tenn on
the 26th day of March, and soon got into col.
lision with Secesh, through the expression OF
his Union sentiments which on the 4th OF
April was brought to crisis by little scrim-
mage be had at dinner table with a South
Caroinian, who denounced Gen. Scott and all
Virginians as traitors to the south Mr. Col
Inns was promptly waited upon by "vigi-
lance committee" aud he was at once i'm
prisOned in most noisome underground dun
geon. From this foul cell ne managed to es-
cape, by the help of some friends, and after
some hard experiences, finally reached more
hospitable region.
Amongst other instances of the atrocities
committed upon people simply for the aVowal
of Union sentiments, the following surpasses
in devilisll barbarity anything recorded Of
Haynau and his band:
An accomplished young woman, named
Anna GiernStein, a native of Maine, who had
been engaged in school teaching, near Mem
phis, was informed that she was an object Of
suspicion to the secessionists, and was advised
to leave On the 18th of May she left Mem
