POETRY.
GONE.

The following beautiful hymn by Whittier,
was read at the funeral ofMrs. J. Jewett, and
her friends will see how peculiarly appropriate
were the sentiments, not only as to her char
acter and voice; but also as to the season and
manner of her death: we give it with the
change of one word relating to the age.
Another hand is beckoning u.s.
Another call is given;
And glows once more with angel steps,
The path which reaches Heaven.
Our (true) and gentle friend whose smile
Made brighter summer hours,
Amid the frosts of autumn time
Has left us with the flowers.
No paling ofthe check ofbloom
Forewarned us of decay;
No shadow from the silent land,
Fell round our sisters way
The light of her ttrue) life went down,
As sinks behind the hill
The glory ofa setting star
Clear, suddenly, and still
Az pure and sweet. her fair brow seemed
Eternal as the sky;
And like the brooks low song, her voice
A sound which could not die.
And half we deemed she needed not
The changing of her sphere
To give to Heaven a shining one,
Who walked an angel here.
The blessing other quiet life
Fell on us like the dew;
And good thoughts, where her footsteps pressed
Like fairy blossoms grow.
Sweet promptings unto kindest deeds
Were in her very look
We read her face, who reads
A true and holy book:
The measure of blessed hymn,
To which our hearts could move;
The breathing of an inward psalm,
A canticle of love.
We mi Sc her in the place of prayer,
And by the hearth fire bright:
We panse beside her door to hear
Once more her sweet ood nightm
There seems shadow on the day,
Her smile no longer cheers;
A dimness on the stars of night,
Like eyes that look through tears.
Alone unto our Fathers will
One thought hath reconced;
That He whose love exceedeth ours
Hath taken home his child.
Fold her, Oh Father in thine arms,
And let her henceforth be
messenger of love between
Our human hearts and thee.
Still let her mild rebuking stand
Between rs and the wrong;
And her dear memory serve to make
Our faith in goodness strong.
And grant that she who, trembling, here
Distrusted all her powers,
May welcome TO her holier home
The well-beoved of ours.

E-nrgc Armies.

1t is generally known, says the New
\ ork Stoats ZettuRg, that there is now
concentrated on the shores of the Poto-
mac larger body of troops than has
ever been concentrated in modern times,
except in the battle of Liepsic Neither
Gustavus Adolphus, nor Frederick the
Great, nor Washington, nor Wellingto, n
nor Scott, he'd ever under bis immediate
command anything like the number which
is now under the command of Gen. Nc.
Clellan. Frederick the Great never led
into the field more than 10000 men at a
time; but all his great battles were fought
and won with bodies of troops ranging
between $4,000 and $4,000. Napoleon
at Austrli'z. vanquished with &C. 900 me n
the united Russian and Austrian armies
containing about 100000 At Jena and
Anerstadt there were 10000 men under
the command of the Emperor of the
French. The bloody battle of Wagram,
was fought with 1900 men against the
Austriaus, and in the equally celebrated
battle at Borodino about 10000 French
men were opposed to the Russians.
The decisive battle at Waterloo was
fought with only 10000 Frenchmen a.
gainst Butcher and Wellington. But the
battle of Liepsic set in motion gigantic
army Of about 500 900 men. Napoleon hav-
ing under his co.nmand abou: goo, 900,
and the united forces CT Russia. Austria
and Prussia about 100000 1t will ap-
pear from this comparison that the armies
on the Potomac were exceeded in num-
Der only by those vast armies which, on
the plains Of Leipsic. decided the fate OF
Europe.
