Standing Guard.

a member Of the Schuylkill regiment,
in camp near Washington, writes thus
about the incidents of standing sentinel:
The manner in which the sentinel re-
celyes the countersign is as follows: He
permits person to come to a distance of
twelve or fifteen PAGES of his post, and
then commands him to "halt ~ and asks,
''who comes there ?" The answer will
generally be, "a friend" The sentinel
commands, "advance, friend, and give the
countersign." The person advances, and
leaning over the point OF the bayonet of
the sentry, gives the password, (the guard
must always receive it ''charge bay
onet, and proceeds on his way. The
guards are all numbered, from one upward.
Ii anything is wanted, or wrong, the sem
tlnel calls Tor the Sergeant of the Guard"
mentioning his number, which is passed
from guard to guard until IL reaches No.
L, where the Sergeant of the day is sta
toned, who Immediately repairs to the
post designated.
During the night the orders are more
strict than IN the daytime If any one
then attempts to pass the guard without
the countersign, he calls for the Sergeant;

times, won't come down to dots, you draw
trigger on him and Of course kill him if
you can. Last Sunday night we were on
the picket guard: our beat was about thirty
yards long, on the borders of graveyard.
Near midnight it commenced to rain
with vengeance, and was so dark that
the eye could not penetrate further than
| ten feet Ia advance. Strange sounds came
from the woods and swamps around, while
in the graveyard dark red phosphorescent
lights would rise from the earth, and after
illuming for awhile some gray tomb, sink
again apparently in the ground, separated
from tie camp by hill, and surrounded
by thick darkness, the rain strangely pat
tering as it fell, the mysterious situation
was we'll calculated to remind one of Won
derful stories often told, but seldom expe-
rienced, as well as to arouse superstitious
fears. About every fifteen minutes the
deep gloom would be broken by the voice
Of the guards crying, "No. l, all's WELL"
;'No. 2, all's WELL" and so on, each senti-
mel taking it up until it had passed around
the camp and came back to the place from
whence it started. A few nights ago two
Of our company were doing night guard
uuty on the poTuefS OF q Woou, ABOUT 4
quarter of mile from camp, one of them
observed, some twenty yards from him,
what was apparently a man, standing and
silently gazing at him. He demanded
''who came there" but received no reply
He called the attention of sentinel near
him to the matter, and together they
marched with charged bayonets against
the immovable and silent "what is it."
and, with true soldierly courage, gallantly
ran their bayonets IL small-ccdar tree.

MARTHA WASHINGTON.
BY CATHARINE ALLEN.

The wife Of Washington must ever be
o subject of interest to the women Of
America. Her own virtues, apart from
the exalted position Of her husband, have
made her worthy of remembrance and es
TEEN. She was, in every respect, q model
for her sex.
The maiden name of Lady Washington
was Martha cambridge, and she was born
of an honorable family, in the county of
New Kent, Va, in May, 1928. She grew
up beautiful and amiable; and at sixteen
was already the belle of the district Ac-
complished, at least for that day; peculiar
" fascinating in manners, and possessed
of graceful and pleasing countenance,
she was sought in marriage by numerous
admirers. and she finally bestowed her
hand, at the age Of seventeen, on Colonel
Daniel Parke Gusts, of her native county.
Two children were the fruits of this mar
riage, neither of whom survived the moth
er.
While yet in the full bloom of beauty,
Mrs. Custis was left widow. With an
ample fortune, and unusual charms OF
person, she was soon again besieged by
suitors. But none made any impression
on her heart until she had attained her
twenty-sixth, when she accidentally made
the acquaintance Of Washington, then a
Colonel in the service of Virginia. Her
grandson, George W. Parke Custis, in q

coursed to them of religion, and amid the
tears of her family, quietly resigned her
life into the hands Of her Creator. Her
death took place on the I'D Of May, 1902 !;
and she was buried beside her husband.
Lady Washington is a model for the
imitation Of her sex. Her abilities were
superior, her heart kind, and her conduct
under the control Of Christian principle.
The gentle dignity of her manner inspired
respect without creating enmity. In her
youth, and even in mature womanhood,
she was distinguished for personal lowell
ness.-LddieS' NatiOndi

The American Flag.
When Freedom from her mountain height,

! When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set The stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies,
And stripped its pure, celestial white
With streakings of the morning light
Then from its mansion in the sun
She called her eagle-bearer down,
And gave unto his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
| Majestic monarch of the cloud,
Who rearest aloft the regal form,
| To hear the tcmpest-trampings loud
When strive the warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thunder-drum of heaven
Child of the sun to thee is given
To guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war
The harbingers of Victory
FIag-ot our country thy folds shall fly
The sign Of hope and triumph high,
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on,
Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glittering bayonet,
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky-born glories burn
And as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance,
And when the cannon mounting loud,
Heave il wild wreaths the battIe-shroud,
And CORY sabres rise and fall,
Like shoots of flame on midnights pail,
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag Of the Seas on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave:
When death, carecring on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frightened waves rush madly back
Before the broadside's reeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph Ger his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope and home
By angel hands to valor given,
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven
Forever float that standard sheets
Where brelthes the foe but falls before u
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming DER U.

GEN. Buffers Expedients.

We do not believe, says an exchange,
that Gen Butler will be in the least en-
barrassed as to the final disposition of the
contraband articles now housed at Fort
Monroe. He viii not require instructions
from headquarters to settle their destina-
tion-his ready wit viii suggest an expe-
dient to meet the emergency. Indeed,
precedent has already been given by Gen.
Butler himself:
In his earlier law practice, the General
was obliged to take up class Of shabby
cases, which he was glad to get rid of as
soon as fortune smiled. But after he was
well rid Of such practice, poor loaier was
brought into court without counsel =
whereupon, the Judge. with malicious
twinkle Of his eye, requested Brother
Butler to act for the defendant. A little
nettled, Butler determined to avenge him
self upon the judge. He retired with the
prisoner to a side-room, and presently re-
turned alone. q
care you ready to bring on that case 2"
asked the judge.
"NIay it please the court, there is no
case,' answered Butler.
"No case. how is that t?-the man is ac-
cussd so and so."
"Well," said Butler, 81 examined the
fellow, and [ made up my mind either
that he had not done anything, or that
nobody could prove anything against him,
and said 10 him, "aiy good fellow, that
window is open, and it can help you out
Of this scrape much quicker than | can"
And, may 1t please your honor, hare not
seen hin3 Since9'
We suspect that when the time comes
to bring on that contraband case, Gen.
Butler will show Sambo the open window
| on the north side of the house, and never
see him afterwards.

GemeraE Scott.

History teaches the best lesson man can
learn When we bring up its records with
the present-when we array its truths
with our own experiences, we are as often
impressed with the fact that we have been
mistaken in our estimation Of men and our
judgment Of their merits, as VIC have here
tofore shown our ingratitude for their
services Gen. Scott, for instance, was a
great man and as skillful an officer twenty
years ago as he IS now, but how many of
the American people would admit the
lact lie fought as well at Lundy' Lane
rs he did from Vera Cruz to the city of
Mexico, but when the smoke of battle had
vanished and the intoxication Of victory
had passed away, Gen. Scott was rejected
by the American people for the highest
Office In their gift, and the honor confer
red on one below him in rank in the army,
and scarcely his equal as wise and saga
cious statesman. This rejection did not
affect the loyalty Of the hero. While the
Americans thus preferred another, Gen.
Scott expressed no chagrin at his own re-
lection, showed no bitterness towards those
who were successful, but steadily and
sternly devoted himself to his country
He was almost forgotten in the midst of
the political revelry and debauchery that
filed the country after the Mexican war
forgotten by all save the maIcvolencc
and spite of those who were In power. 1t
was not enough that the American people
should refuse him their confidence after
he had crowned the national escutcheon
with the trophies of his victories, but it
Ii -
ment to attempt the disgrace OF It's own
veteran chief, to labor to destroy one who
was bleeding from the wounds he received
while struggling in its defence. Had such
ingratitude occurred when Caesars welded
their falchions, the hero backed by his
army would have demolished the govern
ment that sought his disgrace. But while
all other departments were reeking with
corruption-while place made men dis
honest, and public servants either became
secret or avowed traitors, Winfield Scott
almost stood alone, the friend Of his un-
grateful country in her darkest hour of
peril. He saw the army dwindling away
under the influence Of treason-he behe!d
its resources destroyed, its supplies flched,
and discipline closed his lips; but he was
still the friend or his country. For touI
years he was aware of the existence OF
treason, but was prevented from striking,
until at length crime and the excesses oi
traitors brought the guilt before the
country-and then Winfield Scott stood
forth almost the only support and defend
er Of that country. He turned deaf eal
to 1attery, and remembered none of the
insults and neglects heaped upon himself
He refused the appeals from the State O
his birth, scorned offered honors, and spit
upon their prolfered praises. Iils country
was in danger, and that demanded anC
received loyalty, and his labor and hi
services.
Honor, then, to Gen. Scott, He may
be engaged in his last campaign, but the
last laurel to decorate his home will neve
be wreathed. That will be inlportal.
