WASHINGTON AND THE CoRPoRAL.-Some
cf our volunteer officers show their unftness to
command by keeping aloof from their men,
instead of setting them the example OF manli-
ness in toll and endurance. The following in
cident is in point:
During the American Revolution, it is said,
the commander of a little squad was giving
orders to those under him, relative to log of
timber which they were endeavoring to raise
up to the top of some military works they
were repairing. The timber went up with diff
6eulty, and on this account the voice of the
little man was often heard, in regular vocifera-
tions of Heave away, there she goes, heave
no." An officer, not in military costume, was
passing, and asked the commander why he did
not take hold and render little aid. The
latter, astonished, turned round with all the
pomp and splendor of an Emperor. said J." Sir,
l am corporal p' You are, are you ?" re-
piled the officer; b" was not aware of that :"
and taking off his hat and bowling, the officer
said, L" ask your pardon, Mr. Corporal" and
then dismounted, and lifted till the sweat stood
in drops on his forehead.
When the work was finished, turning to the
commander he said, Mr.. Corporal, when you
have another such job and have not men
enough, send for your Commander nchief, and
l will come and help you second time"
The Corporal was thunderstruck. 1t was
General Washington who thus addressed him.

When softly sighs the western breeze;
And wandering mid the starlit grove
To take a pinch of snuff and sneeze.

The fiocks and herds their pleasure take;

America, I Love Thee Still.

America, love thee still,
love thy verdant hills;
] love thy fields and valleys fair,
l love thy sparkling riIls.
love thy lakes and rivers bright,
/ love thy fiowery plains:
love thy freedoms hallowed soil,
l love thy wide domain.
love thy deep blue sky above,
That arches over thee;
love the soil that proudly owns
The birthplace of the free.
love thy balmy zephyr's breath,
That gently fans thy cheek;
love the songsters of thy woods,
love their chantings meek.
love thy mornings balmy gales,
love thy mondays sun;
love thy evenings gentle breath,
After the dry's toll is done.
l love thy mountains rugged brows,
Where the free eagle scars;
l love thy painless forests wild,
love thy sea-girt shores.
l love thy deep, green, shady wood,
love thy waterfall;
love thy meadows and thy groves,
Dear scenes, love thee all.
America, love thee still;
I'll love thee evermore;
Land of the free, the exile's home,
Gods blessing on thy shore.

And the eve is drawing on;
Slowly droops the gentle twilight,
For another day is gone;

We are one day nearer home.

Thus the Christian on lifes ocean,

The army OF Johnston is constantly being re

"a very serious disaster 10 the rebel cause until the

had achieved in that evacuation a great substan-
tial triumph. With these Northern representa-
tons the evacuation oil Manassas was accepted
