The Dying Soldier
by OLIVER PERI AASLovF.


II was an hour when the wind was sweeping
Wildly over the battle plain,
And the lightning from the cloud whsieapins
And thunder had broken tie vaults Of raia,
That a wounded man at night was lying
IN pain upon the cold, wet ground,
With no loved one to SEQ him dying
Or hand To bind up his bleeding wound.
His coun,ry's flag he had made his pillow
And his heart was filled withits treasured stars
And from the tide Of his bosom's bl!low
His blood had poured on its glowing bars,
He had borne 1t in ths time Of battle
with sli thQ strength of patriots pride;
He had heard the lead. hail thr ough it rattle,
When comrades were falling on every side,
And as he lay in that hour pale and CORY,
With the peeling thunder his dying difgs,
And the lightning flaming around in glory.
Showing the sky like burning surge,
lie thought of home aud loving mother,
Who proudly told him to battle for right,
Andhow had fallen a noble brother
And tire river of death grew lovely and bright.
No mora would he hear the roaring cannon,
Nor brsvely rush on the fOeman's steel;
No more would he wave alof his pennon.
For his heart had almost ceased 10 feel
But "a low. sweet prayer it still was breathing

DEL1cAcY.-Abovo every other feature
that adorns the female character, deli,acy
stands fcremost within the province of good
taste. Not the delicacy which is perpetu-
ally in quest of something to be ashamed
Of, which makes merit of a blush, and
simpers an the false construction, its own
ingenuity has PIT upon an innocent re-
mark; this spurious kind of delicacy, is
far removed from good taste as from good
feeling and good sense but that high
minded delicacy which maintains its pure
and undevitated walk alike amongst wo.
men, as in the sdsiety OF men which
shElnks from no necessary duty, AID can
speak, when required, with seriousness and
kindness, at things which it would be a.
shamed indeed to smile or blush. This
is the delicacy which forces SO important
part of good taste, that where it does no
exist as natural instinct, i. is the fret
principle Of good manners, and considered
as the universal passport to good society.
