FREDERICK.

Said an elderly lady to me, the other day,
"If I could have been in Frederick when Nc
Clellan rodo in, should have said, Now Lord,
let thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes
have seen Tiy salvation.
They marched into Frederick, that great rebel
band,
To deliver from tyranny my Maryland!
All hungry and dirty the Chiralry camc,
But with cannon and rifles to make good their
claim.
The new flag went up, and the old flag went
down,
Amid rebel shout and patriot frown!
They trsied our great banner in dust in our
sight!
Oh. brothers, remember it in the next fight!
The men shut their teeth, and the women their
doors
To clos, from heir lew the host that on pours.
And so on for days did they stoutly behave
them,
And call on their God and Mcclellan to save
They marched into Frederick, Mcclellan rode
by,
And that town seemed bat one heart, one thought
and one eye,
All fixed with proud love on the man who had
With his brave c-hearted army to rescue .heir
home.
The Old Flag came out! Its defender was there,
L. on whom they had called in their desperate
prayer:
Who would make that great rebel host glad to
retreat
And to shake on " my hnrylands" dust Fl ON
its .cot!
The men stuid no effort till each one was fod,
The women brought flowers, the children
brought bread;
The young, what was their smiles and
strong cheers;
Tie oil, what was nearcst--their eloquent tears.
Right, right, thon, oh woman. Those old Bible
words
Are the fitting expression for feelings that
stirred
Those hearts, that wont out, their best homa &c
to pay,
To each man that marched out with Mcclellan
that day.

Homage TO W0man's Beauty.

We like to echo the plan to this charm
of our life, and VIC cheerfully give some
sweet thoughts on this subject from the
pen of james G.. Everhart, Esq.
In her beauty lies source of power.
Tt is external and therefore is an instant
recommendation. 1t acts like incanta-
ton; reaches the toughest heart that
throbs, dazzles, fascinatcs, and gives i'm
mediate wounds. 1t has been mightier
than the sword or the sceptre, or the gifts
of the mind. 1t has ruled States and
heroes foiled philosophy in the school :
won the prize from genius wrung mercy
from the judge; made the tyrant gentle.
the miser liberal, the bandit honest. 1t
was beauty which controlled the policy
of Athens in the splendid period of Per-
icles. 1t saved the life of Phryne. when
the reason of Socrates failed. 1t five
times triumphed over the hymns and
raans of Pindee, when Corinna was his
rival. 1t drew out in prodigal profusion
the treasure of the French monarch, when
the starving populace begged in vain.
It stayed the blow of death, when the
daughter of savage chief interceded for
stranger. 1t obtained protection from
the robber for an outlawed English
queen. 1t turned away the wrath of
David, when it pleaded in the counte-
nance of Abigail 1t saved the scattered
Jews from massacre, when Esther be-
sought the king. 1t carried the poll for
Fox, when the Dutchess of Dcvonshire
reached the hustings. Yet this female
beauty is as common as sight. 1t is po-
culiar to no nation, and is claimed by no
class. 1t glows in the goddess and in
the peasant girl. and in the Indian squaw.
1t reigns in the parlor, in the pantry,
and in the fish market. 1t drinks nec-
tar on Olympus, schnapps in Holland,
and wine in CASTLE; and signs the tenn
perance pledge in Kennctt square. 1t
dances on the stage, prays in the church.
! swears on the wharf, and smokes in Mat

"FATHEa's CHIMNEY. "A few days
since, number of prisoners of war, who
had been released on parole, passed over
the P. s. and ?. railroad, (Maine,) on
their way to their homes. Among the
number was blue eyed, pale faced boy,
not more than seventeen, whose shoul-
dors seemed scarcely equal to carrying a
forty pound knapsack. For some time
he had boen looking inteptly out of the
car window, and suddenly, when the
train was approaching Biddcford, he
jumped up, and, with face all aglow and
eyes sparkling with delight, exclaimed,
"Boys. there's my fathers chimney"
AS if by simultaneous inspiration. the
soldiers all arose and sang Sweet Homo,
with the effect that is sometimes pro-
duced by those simple notes and simple
lines. More than one bearded man
looked out of tho window as On excuse
to conceal his tears,

Mcclellan Stand arm Though forced at once
to fight
Robes in front, and raucorous foes in rear,

Aud win with you crowning victory.

amoras. 1t sings like nightingale, and
screams like a peacock. 1t scolds on
washing day, and gossips at the tea par
ty. 1t sews, spins, rubs, scrubs, cooks,
thumps on the piano, and keeps no Sc
crets. 1t is difficult tc define the source
of that beauty of the face which mon are
prone to worship. Is it in any cast of
complexion There have been beauties
colorless a air, pale as cream, yellow as
gold, or red like crimson, or brown as
autumn leaves. "Match me-" says the
bard,
With Spain's dark, glancing daughters"
While Helen, whose charms caused
strife among the gods, had tho complex
ion of smoke. Is it in the glossy ap-
pearance of the hair2 Venus has been
represented with head as scarlet as fire.
Is it in regularity of features? The
beauties of ancient Persia were remark
able for nose like an eagle. Is it in
The eyes which are the books, the acade-
mics,
From whence do spring the true Promo
thean fire?
Homer considered that they were only
beautiful as they were large, and made
Juno's the size of an ox's. And the
goat-fectcd bellies of China have them no
bigger than their heads. The standard
of taste varies. 1t requires teeth to be
gildcd in Japan, painted red in India,
blackened in Quart. The skin must
be as blue as the sky in Greenland, jet
as ebony in Monomotapa. In Peru, the
nostrils are hung with heavy jcwelry,
and goitrcs ornament the nccks Of Al
pine girls. Beauty seems, therefore,
dependent for its impression on caprice
of fashion. 1t is, however, the element
of that attraction and Sympathetic te-
sire of hearts which the world calls love.
And let us renew, also, the readers
memory Of what keat says with exqui-
site inspiration on tho same subject:
Whence that completed form Of all COM
pletcness.
Whence came that high perfection Of oil
sweetness?
Speak, stubborn earth, and tell me where, o
where
Hast thou symbol Of her golden hair?

Indeed, locks light enough to make me msd :
And they were simply gordianed up and

, Her pearl round ears, white neck, and orbed

The which were blended in, know not how,
! With such a paradise of lips and eyes,
Blush tinted cheeks, half smiIes, and fsintest
sghs,
That when speak thereon, my spirit clings
And plays about it, fancy, till the atinss
OF human ncghborhood environ all.
Upon what power shall | call?
10 what high fame Ali all SEQ her hov-
cring feet,
More bluoly veined, plorc soft, more whitley

COMFORTING WIFE. "A good thing
came off on Tuesday when the Corn Ex-
changes last corps left Philadelphia for
Harrisburg. Among the men was one
who had young wife. While they were
waiting at Second and Dock streets for
the order to march, the young wife was
taking leave of her husband in accents
broken and eyes that lay bsdewcd in
tears, like vislets in a summer shower.
The man caresseG her, but tho tears still
started he told her Of the patriotism and
muuifcence of the Corn Exchange As
sociation, yet the liquid crystal, contin-
ued to fall; he told her Of the country's
danger, but her anguish remained un-
soothcd. At last he appeared weary Of
his endcavors and tried another tack.
Sally, said he, Sally, quit crying. You
ace what the Corn Exchange has done.
They've paid you my bounty. fitted mo

Yes the girl sobbed, but
But what?
But if you get killed, what then?'
Why. The man hesitatcdfor mo.
ment until lucky thought struck him.
why then the Corn Exchange will End
YOU another husband
The ludicrousness of this idea changed
the current of the girls feelings, and a
smile wreathed her pretty mouth and
dimples in manner that was pleasant
to behold. The last tear rolled away,
and as the word forward was given she
gave the young recruit last kiss, and
departed in good cheer.
