Z" No Room for Loafers."

These words recently met our eyes as we
passed workshop in this city. :. No room
for loafers." Sure enough, there is no room
for loafers anywhere in this moving world.
They are not wanted in the busy workshop,
nor in the editor sanctum !; they are nui-
sance in the country store, splitting and spew-
ing about the stove, and at the post Office are
in every body's way. They are forever out
of place-except when in the almshouse or
Jail. A dead weight upon society, they are
a hindrance and a bore. They form no part
of natures plan it ibhors them as it does a
vacuum While all the world around them IS
going forward, they are standing still, or ra-
ther gliding imperceptibly backward into
seedy vaeabondisn loafer soon grows
rusty 1t is only use which keeps our facul-
ties bright and the idle man gets dull, stu
pid, stoIid and muddy headed.
Yet some of these fellows seem to think
very we'll of themselves. You will see them
strutting along the sunny side of the street,
and lounging at corners, hanging about the
doors of the hotels. or the entrance to the the
ater. with fine clothes upon their backs and
a self satisfied smirk upon their vacant coun-
tenances. The poor rcreatures look down up
on working man as being OF an inferior
order No doubt the drones affect to despise
the busy bees-until they aredriven from the
hive to starVe, Wnile tne WORKERS least upon
the honey. A loafer setting himself above
the man who labors with his hands Why,
he is as far beneath him as, in the order of
creation, the sloth is beneath the common
horse. A young mechanic, in his working
dress, and with his tools in his hands, is ev-
cry way a more agreeable object than the
best dressed loafer in existence. There is
always room for him. He is never out of
place, for he is keeping step with the move
ment of the universe. He has a name, pur-
pose, and he stands for something. His IA
culIies are trained to use, and he is of value
to the world for what he can do. The skill. |
ful workman is to the idle man what the
manufactured article is to the raw material. |
He has an additional value above that of mere
manhood. The world cannot get on without
him, while it could spare every loafer in it,
and be all the better for their absence. |
Reader, whatever you do, don't loaf.

Zollicoffer's Retreat in Kentucky.

The retreat of Gen. Zollicoffer has proved
to be disastrous and bloody A letter from
Camp Wildcat, dated Friday last, says he
had left his dead and dying strewn along the
road from that point to Barboursville. 1t is
estimated that 900 men perished in the re-
treat alone, and that his loss in the battle and
the retreat will amount to | SEQ men. The
retreat began early on Tuesday morning
The dead were left on the field to be buried
by the Union troops. The field was literally
strewn with them. They must have fought
like fiends. The execution was terrible, and
the wounded were few. The effects of the
long balls. the Minie, are represented to have
been most terrible. Bodies were perforated
and skulls were broken into half dozen
pieces. Many features it was impossible to
recognize. The grape and canister of the
artillery had also found many victims. They
were found lying on the hill sides in groups.
1t appears as if the bodies on falling had
rolled down the steep sides of hill and thus
piled up on one another The road was
blocked with them, and he Tennessee Reci-
ment in pursuit rushed over the bodies of
their former friends and acquaintance.
Two pieces of artillery and all the camp
equipage, with many arms, knapsacks, and
other materials, were left by the rebels in
their preepitate flight.
But the retreat was the most irving ordeal
which the rebels had to undergo The far
mers, whom for weeks past they had oppress-
ed, aroused by the report of the victory,
gathered along the road to give parting
blow. and from Wildcat to Barboursville the
rebel army run the gauntlet. From every
tree and rock upon the roadside the sharp
crack OF the farmers rife greeted them and
sealed rebels fate. 1t is said the retreat
was one continued fight, in which the poor
devils had no chance whatever. Ambus-
eades opened their fires upon them from ey
cry side and quarter, and they felt what it
was to retreat through hostile country.
Like the English who came to subjugate at
Lexington, Mass, they pushed on in haste.
tying from the storm of bullets that beat in
upon them at every step. They needed not
who fell. They pushed on, each man for
himself, seeking safety in the hills of the
Gap. The bullet Of the famous iflc sped on
Its mission. The doomed man sank without
murmur, as if exIaasted His following
fellows stepped over his body and hurried on.
nor stopped to pluck his weapon from his
dying grasp. They lightly sprang over the
fallen body of the steed that but a moment
before, with dilated nos tr;ls, snuffe danger
to its master, and then fell unheeded by him
who had ridden him. The retribution for
our retreat OF three months ago had come
Un the list Of the month, three months ago.
our men had retreated TO Washington; on.
the list OF the month they had also retreat
ell. But this retreat was far more terrible
The shame Of our arms in Virginia had been
wiped out in Kentucky.

The Sweet Little Man.
DEDICATED TO THE STAY AT HOME RANGERS


Now, while our soldiers are fighting our battles,
Each at his post TO do all that he can,
Down among rebels and contraband chattels,
What you doing, my sweet little man!
All the brave boys under canvas are sleeping.
All of them pressing TO march with the van,
Far from the home where their sweethearts are
weeping,
What are you waiting for, sweet little man.
You with the terrible warlike mustaches,
Fit for colonel or chief Of clan,
You with the waist made for sword-belts and sashes
Where are your shoulder straps, sweet little man!
ring him the buttonless garment of womanI
Cover his face lest it freekle and tan,
Muster the Apron String Guards on the Common,
That is the corps for the sweet little man
Give him for escort file of young misses,
Each of them armed with deadly rattan,
They shall defend him frem laughter and Kisses,
Aimed by low boys at the sweet little man.
All the fair madens about him shall cluster,
Pluck the white feathers from bonnet and fan,
Make him plume like turkey-wing duster,
That is the crest for the sweet little man
o, but the Apron-String Guards are the fellows
Drilling each day since troubles began.
" Handle ysur walking sticks = Shoulder um-
brellas y
mat Is the style Tor lne sweet little man
Have nation to save? In the first place,
Saving ourselves is the sensible plan
Surely the spot where there's shootng's the worst
place
Where 1 can stand, says the sweet little man.
Catch me confiding my person with strangers.
Think how the cowardly Bull-Runners ran
In the brigade of the Stay at Home Rangers
Marches my corps, says the sweet little man
Such the stuff Of the Malakoff-takers,
Such were the soldiers that scaled the Redan;
Trueulent housemaids and blood thirsty Quakers,
Brave not the wrath of the sweet little man!
Yield him the sidewalks, ye nursery maidens
.Snnre qni pent! Bridget and right about Ann
Fierce as a shark in a school of menhadens,
See him advancing, the sweet little man!
When the red fails of the battlefield threshers
Beat out the continents wheat from its bran,
While the wind scatters the chafy Seceshers,
What will become of our sweet little man?
ders,
How will he look while his feathers they scan
How viii he feel when he gets marching orders,
Signed by his lady love? sweet little man
Fear not for him, though the rebel expels him
Life is too precious to shorten its span!
Woman her broomstick shall raise to protect him,
Win she not fight for the sweet little man
Now then, nine cheers for the Stay-at Home Ranger
Blow the great fish horn and beat the big pan
First in the field that is the farthest from danger,
Take your white feather plume, sweet little man
