The Absent Soldiers.

The buds are swelling, the birds are
singing, and the pleasant sun is welcome
to all living, but we cannot forget those
who lie in distant hospital and camp,
pierced with wounds or parched with
fever nor those, alas, who sleep in name.
less graves.
There is a heart somewhere, to be
wrung for every one of them. 1t may
not be yours or ours, but it is some
body's. Oh, the tremendous cost of war
is not set forth in the tax roll it is not
payable in silver and gold but it is
plucked out of lives and loves, and leaves
less of US than there was before.
When we remember our neighbors and
friends who have gone out to the battle,
We remember those who did braver
thing, and dared to bid them 60, while
they themselves should wait in long sus-
pense, at home.
And through the land to day, a mil
lion hearts are aching; it is common
sacrifice; almost all Of Us have made an
offering; it lies upon the altar of Liber-
ty. May tho Con Of battles accept It,,
and while yet ten thousand soldiers
graves are green, may that altar be cleans
ed from blood, and Peace garland il with
flowers. Northern Uinotsan.

fore our eyes, nothing about it suggestive
or original-except its stolen colors, re-
minding US of the financial operations of
Floyd! Oh if hope could be prophecy
If life that is an unceasng prayer for
the success of the Federal arms could
avail, it would not be long before that
bright banner would wave over all the
land, its starry folds cleaning with pu,
rer, more glorious light than ever"
As she stood there. with eyes upliftcd
as IN mute prayer, and fervently kissed
the silken folds of the flag, Hugh wished
that his station in life had been an Amer,
lean flag.
Time passed on, and the prisoner was
to be exchanged for rebel officer of
equal rank. Captain Dumars brought
him the intelligence, and was surprised
with the seeming Indifference with which
he received it.
"You don't seem particularly elated
by the prospect of getting among the
Yankees again ~
81 am eager to take my sword again !;
but my stay here has been far from un-
pleasant. You, Captain, have been away
SO much that have not been able to thank
you for making my Imprisonment SO pleas
ant. | am at a loss to know why you have
shown such favor to me especially
"This is the cause" replied the Cap
tain, laying his hand upon breast pin
that Hugh always wore upon his coat, at
the same time unbuttoning his own, "you
sec that | wear the same"
1t was a simple jewel, embellisLcd on
ly with few Greek characters, but i,
was the emblem of enc of those college
societies, in which sccresy and mystery
add a charm to the ties of brotherhood
And it was thi, fratcrnal tie, stronger
/ than that Of ErecmasoDry, because more
exclusive, that made Hugh's pleasant
imprisonu ent, and made him happy with
one faithful among the faithless, loya
among many traitors. For of course the
reader has surnised-for poetic justice
demands it-that Hugh fell desperately ly
in 1--we with Annie, aud Annie ditto with
Hugh. How he told the tender tale, and
how she answered him, whether with the
conventional quantity of bushes, or not
is none of your business, reader, OF
mine; SO don't ask me any questions.
1t was the evOing of the day before
Hugh's departure. They, Annie aud
Hugh, sat in the little porch, silent and
sad, watching the shadows slowly creep
ing up the mountains side towards it.
sun kissed summit, like sombre pail O.
sorrows shrouding a bright hope.
"And to morrow you are free"
NO, Annie, not free. Ny sword vii
be free, but my heart will still linger her,
prisoner. But when the war is ovel
and the old fac is restored'-
"Then,' and here her eyes were filled
with the glorious light Of prophetic hope,
Il viii BE- your prisoner.
And still Hugh is fighting for the dear
old flag and still Annie is praying for it,
and waiting for the sweet Imprisonment
There has been many as sweet ro
nance as this, reader, acted ere this du
ing the war. Would that all captivity
were so pleasant.

How to Avoid Il Bad Husband
From Moore's Rural New Yorker.

|. Never marry for wealth. A wo.
mans life consis.eth not in those things
she possesseth.
>. Never marry fop, or one who
struts about ndy-like, in his silk gloves
and rutfles, with silvered cane, and rings
on his fingers. Beware there is trap.
3. Never marry a nj nigrard, or close
fisted, mean, sordd man, who saves every
penny or spends it grudgingly. Take
care, lest he stint you to death
4. Never marry stranger, or one
whose character is not known, or tested.
Some females jump right into the fire
with their eyes wide open.
). Never marry a NOPE or drone, one
who drawls and draggles through life,
one foot after another, and lets things
take their chances.
6. Never marry man who treats his
mother and sister unkindly, or inditfer-
emily. Such treatment is a sure indica-
tion Of meanncss and wickedness.
I. Never, on any account, marry a
gambler, profane person, one who in
the least speaks lightly of God, or rell-
gion. Such a man can never make a
good husband.
&. Never marry a sloven, man who
is negligent of his person or dress, and
is filthy in his habits The external ap.
pearance is an index to the heart
o. Shun the rake as snake, viper, a
very demon.
10. Finally, never marry a man who is
addicted to the use of ardent spirits
Depend upon it you are better off alone
than you would be were you tied to a
man whose breath is polluted, and whose
vitals are being suawed out by alcohol.
In the choice of wife, take the ODE
dent daughter of good mother.

fact that | was Il member of the commit.
tee Of which you are Chairman. and ask
ing my views Us to the time and place Of
holding the judicial convention, aud in
reply would say that, understanding that
the tNita member Of the comnittee-a
gentleman from one Of the Western coun.
tics-is now in the rebel army, and be
lievinc that the convention should be
held in precinct whose fcalty to tho
Democratic party can be confidently de-
pended upun, would suggest Charleston,
:. G., as the place, that being the only
locality that would be abso 'utely certain
TO meet the latter desileratum, and being
also probable that it would be the most
convenient for our committee man whom
it is now lnconvcnieut to consult, prompt
me to suggest it. have no local preju-
dice to consult in the matter As to the

AN ABoLITIoSIsT. .-Dobbs is an abo
litionist. He rather likes the title. He
thinks it involves the harmonies of both
sound and sense He says that Provi
dence, who is conceded to be superior to
General Hunter, has proclaimed the ulti,
mate extinction Of slavery on this Cont
nent; aud he adds piously that when
Heaven issues a Proclamation, PRESIDENT
Lincoln, though an ostimable Executive,
will not make a ten strike in any effort at
Modification. Dobbs is queer chaP'
and doesn't care the snap Of his fingers
whether his ideas Of emancipation SUIT
the feelings of the "Conservat'ves or
mot Neither do we State Reg.
