AN ENEMY In FRONT AND REAR
A Bear and Snake Story.

Having been an interloper in the hunt,
we did not know who our companions
were until the excitement of the day
was ended, and we were called into the
camping ground by the repeated firing
of guns, and the blasts of the hunts
mans horn. For our own part, we were
delighted that the day had drawn to a
close the sport bad been nothing, and
the stand where we were posted seemed
to be in the entire possession of that
race of immense gallinippers that make
their appearance only in the sunshine of
the day, and bite r,ugh~ your tbirf
coat aud shoes. Our trouble in this
matter was that of others, and one
young man, recently from New England,
seemed to have been particularly af-
aicted ; for, judging from his face, a
doctor would have said he had bad at
tack of the smallpox, so full was it of
blotches and marks. The cold atmos
phere of the approaching fall chilled
these singing pests, and left the night,
the starlight and generous fire to be en-
joyed in peace. We never cared much
about the excitement of the chase and
although we never refused chance 20
get shot, still we never jumped i'm
passibie ravines, broke our neck, and
killed our horse, to head deer, or get
scare from an old he bar The camp
fire is our delight-there, with an i'm
mensc quantity of venison, cold ham,
biscuit, some claret slowed away under
our jacket, and wooden blanket care
fully tucked around the outside of it,
we love to lie upon the lap of the earth,
and with our eyes dreamily viewing the
armament, and with our ears wide open,
listen to the hunters tales, who gene
rally keep truth on a full gallop to be
anywhere in sight of their facts, or
having distanced her entirely at the
outset, cause her to abandon them for
the evening. Bin.
Among the group before US. on the
occasion we speak of, was wiry look
ing parsonage, with complexion of a
young man incousistently dis6gured with
,row feet marks, peculiar to age, while
bis hair seemed peculiarly gray, and
showed that disregard of mixing black
md white, that would have done honor
70 an amalgamation meeting, assembled
,nder the most aniable auspices. To
earn the cause of this phenomenon be-
,ame matter of interest to us, and af-
er considerable beating round the bush,
me of our companions told the following
tory. the hero sitting by to put in the
.tts
You see, said our informant, point

was remarkable all his life, up

Can't Get Rid OF the Feeling.

The seeding States, in spite of all
their efforts, can't get rid of the feeling
that they are still in the Government
They have manufactured few phrases
suitable to different arrangement, but
the spirit of all they say or do is favored
with the old regime. For instance, only
the other day, Gov. Harris, of Tennes-
see, in the Confederacy, sent a requisi-
tion to Kentucky, in the Union, for an
escaped thief, just as though the old
order of things existed. He evidently
acted under the impression that his Con-
federacy was @ sham, and whatever real
work he wanted done he had to get
done in the old way. Isn't this con-
fession that the old Union ought to be
restored? Don't the rebels admit by it
that they don't know what to do with
their confederate elephant

The Indian Summer.

What habit the poets have of prais-
ing the Indian Summer! And yet how
few recognize that season when it really
comes Most men imagine it visits us
about month earlier than it actually
makes its appearance, and so they wor-
ship the ghost of that delicious period
which We all look for to enjoy before
the rude voice of Winter bids the Au-
tumn hence, and closes the almanac upon
all his own programme of entertain
ments.
The Indian Summer always seems to
US like the gorgeous sunset Of the year,
its hectic flush is so brief and SO beau
tiful. The consumptive year seems. at
that time, to put forth all its vital ener-
gies anew, to array itself in its more CO.
quettish costume, and with it's warm,
passionate breath seek fondly 10 convince
US of its hope of long and proud ex-
lstence.
But we know how we'll, how iIlusory
are such gay dreams of brilliant fu-
ture. The paroxysm once over, the in
spiration once gone, the dying year yields
up its cherished anticipations. Tt sadly
gathers together its garments of with
cred leaves, cough through its long
December nights its wasted life away,
and is buried in the white snow-shroud
that its mother, Nature, wraps with
tears about the icy form of the depart

A Battlefield q Fortnight after
the Fight.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, who was one of party sent to
Springfield, Mo-, for the body of Gen.
Lyon, gives the following account of the
battle fortnight after the fight:
There still remains about seventy
five or one hundred unburied bodies
upon the field of battle, besides large
number of horses. The bodies are, in
every instance, those of Federal soldiers,
and are generally lying on hard grav-
ely ridges. Those who fell in the hol-
lows, or where the earth was soft, had
been hid from view. The stencil arising
from the field is not as overpowering as
might be supposed. With a single ex-
ception, every face has turn ed as black
as Ethiop's, and that one, strange to say,
persists in retaining its Circassian char
acteristic. In several instances, the Wis
itors can distinctly see where wounded
men have dragged themselves from the
places where they fell to the shade af-
forded by the few scrubby oak bushes in
the field, and there with the crimson tide
Of life ebbing away, aud no kind hand
to administer so trifiing thing as a cup
of water. for the want of which they
were famishiug, they laid them down to
die. Some of our wounded men, who
had thus sought the shade, were not
found for three or four days after the
battle. What succession of eternities
those days must have been to them =
Corporal Conant, of the First Missouri
Regiment, was left upon the field four
days, and is now doing well. Brave

able to get off his back, be fred twenty

Washington Sixty Years Ago.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser, in
dulges in the following "reminiscences of
the Federal City:
Sixty years ago, on the 18th of No.
vember, Congress met here for the first
time, occupying the wings of the Capt.
tol, which were but partially completed. /.
The Metropolis was staked off, but there
were but few buildings, and those wero
at magnificent distances from each 9th
er. Pennsylvania avenue led through
a swamp which overaowed in the win
ter; there was no industry, society, or
business aud Oliver Wolcott wrote -
The people are poor, and as far as l
can Judge, they live like fishes, eating
each other.'
There was but one hotel in Washing
ton, and the greater portion of the mem
bers boarded, or kept house in the old
settled borough of Georgetown. Craw-
ford's hotel was for many years the head
quarters of the Federalists, and the host
had large six-horse stage, in which he
sent his boarders to the Capitol, and
brought them back, which was called
the Royal George.
Rufus King, when Senator in Con-
gress, boarded in Crawford's and kept
his own carriage, drawn by four black
horses, the coachman wearing livery
Many other members kept up fine estab-
lishments, or fine saddle horses -especi-
ally those who came from sections of the
country between which and the capital
there were no public conveyanccs. Hen
ry Clay used often to come on horse
back across the mountains from Ken
tucky and when John G.. Calhoun was
Secretary of War, he came from South
Carolina in his own carriage.

A Beautiful Thought.

A solemn and beautiful thought is
expressed in the following .m
It is related of a well-known divine,
who, when living, was called the Prince
of Divines,' that when he was on his
death bed, he was debating words to an
amanuensis, who had written
I am in the land of the living
Stop said the dying man, correct
that. Say:
I am yet in the land of the dying,
but hone soon to be in the land of the
living 7 uv. 's.
Beautiful thought-and it is SO. In
his closing scene, the Christian is ena-
bled to contrast this passing, dying
world with that which is TO come.

A TRUMPET BLAST.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

rThe following lines, written eighteen
ears ago, sound like prophecy fulfilled a
he present crisis
O.! for God and duty stand.
Heart to heart and hand to hand,
Round the old graves of the land
Whose shrinks or falters now,
Whose to the yoke would bow,
Brand the craven on his brow!
Freedoms soil has only place
For a free and fearless race;
None for traitors false and base.
Perish party perish clanl
Strike together while ye can,
Like the arm of one strong man
With one heart and with one mouth,
Let the North unto the South
Speak the word befi.ting both.
What though Issachar be strong
Ye may load his back with wrong,
Over much and over long.
Patience, with her cup o'errun,
With her weary thread outspun,
Murmurs that her work is done.
Boldly, or with treacherous art,
Strike our blood wrought chain apart!
Break the Unions mighty heart
Work the ruin, if ye will
Pluck upon your heads an i'll
Which shall grow and deepen still
With your bondman's right arm bare,
With his heart OF black despair,
Stand alone, if stand ye dare!
Onward with your fell design
Dig the gulf and draw the line
Fire beneath your feet the mine!
Deeply, when the wide abyss
Yawns between your land and this,
Shall ye feel your helplessness.
