Questionable Patriotism.

1~4AC 1Ao-AA'
The Dayton Journal thus ap-
propriatcly comments on the stun
ming fall o. Col. Bickle:
Jim Lane has been very pat
rlotlc Ia ordS, but never lost
sight OF ms political bread and
butter. We le-ret to see his ex-
ample copied I'D The 9TH Con
gressional District, OF Indiana.
Col b cA.e mode an appeal to
the people u rally to arms, and
was appointed Colonel. His
regiment has gone into the
field, and lac Is now announced
by his friends rs a candidate for
Congress.
This looks like a fshy sort of
patriotism Ii he meant fight,
his place is in the field at the
head Of lis men. Instead OF
stumping the District TO put
down Julian and avenge his own
or his friends personal wrongs,
he should be putting John Nor
gan down with leaden arguments.
Any other course seems like a
fraud, and deserves Reproduction.
Ii a man asks a military com
mand and gets it, his duty is to be
true 10 it. If he wants to be a
politician, let him be one boldly.
But this business of playing fast
and loose with military and polit-
ical duties al the same time, is a
curse TO the cause.

lsmiIe?"
Cora turned her head aside
she did not like the assumed tone
in which he spoke.
That night her pillow was wet
with tears-she wished, oh, how
earnestly, that she had said one
pleasant word ~ just one TIT to
Charles Aulilie, ere he set off on
that long, perilous expedition,
wherein the dangers Of the sea,
and the crimson cloud Of battle
al Ike threatened him. But she
wouldn't write-no, Cora was
too proud for that.
And what was Charles Aulifle
thinking Of those weary days and
nights upon the ocean? Whose
sw eet image was pictured in his
brain while the good ship shook
with the thunders Of flying shot
and exploding shell, and smoke
from belching batteries rolled
round him like a shroud?
"Itmatters mott he said brave
Ily to the surgeon, when they
carried him, all manned and
bleeding, down the hatchway in
to the little cabin, where the
wounded and dying lay in ghast-
lly rows. | have already given

be sweet to die for hcr!'
81 hope it isn't SO bad as that,
lieutenant" said the surgeon. me
thodically looking over his glitter
ing case of instruments. "Youll
lose your arm, to be sure, and
that will be an ugly scar across
your forehead, bus it might be
worscl'
Aulille closed his eyes with a
faint groan. They would scarce
" know him if he should live to
reach home-Cora in her fresh
loyeliness would shudder of his
scarce-healed wounds. But that
was the first and last groan he ut
tered through all the painful ma
nipulations of the man of the
knife and scalpel.
"Shall we soon be at the For
tress?"
Charles Aulihe was tossing
restlesSly on his bed of fevered
pain, his only nurse a clumsy
sailor.
1--WE land tomorrow, sir"
"What was that noise | heard
just now?"
"Some ladies came aboard,
sir, TO nurse the wounded men,
The ARROW brought them, with
an order from headquarters. VIII
you take your medicine now?--
the doctor said once an hour"
AuIiile swallowed the draught,
and then sank back among the
pillows.
"You may go above forawhile
now, Hardy, | feel as il ! could
sleep"
SLEEP he meant close his
eyes, and think OF dark, melting
eyes, aud black rings OF hair, and
checks, pink and white like peach
b,ossomsl The fever was too
hot in his brains Tor other rest.
Some five minutes might have
elapsed ere he opened his eyes
and beheld-
No dream, no vision, but Co.
n Dennison's self, t,re lovely
eyes fixed mourafully on his face,
the scarlet lips q%uivering and the
small arms clasped tightly over
the beating heart.
