4 SAD Plcru.E.-The papers are filed

A SAD PIcrunE.-The papers are filed
with the names Of the sick, wounded, and
dead heroes Of this war. It is melan-
choly picture to look at; it teaches a
terrible lesson. Hundreds Of loyal house
holds will mourn the loss of their best be-
loved-the wife deprived of her noble hus-
band, the parents of their cherished son,
the sister of her brave brother, the lovely
girl Of him who will know her no more
forever. Grief like this is always sacred
and yet these individual sorrows are so gen.
orally shared that those who do not now
directly realise them, sympathise with the
sufferers, because tomorrow they may be
called upon, in their turn, to recognize the
fate Of war in the death Of those who are
dearest to them. There is hardly loyal
family in the loyal states that is not in
some way connected with the brave defend
ers Of our flag. They were sent forth with
blessings and with prayers; and if they
fall, their friends should always recollect
that they fell for the best bause that ever
sanctfied soldiers sword or strengthened
a soldier arm.

S''SS" Aion ueiS you u0Vc spIcnuIu
view Of the city proper, and you are re.
minded that st. Louis is city of brick
no house or other buildings allowed to be
built Of wood within the city limits; no
great conflagrations here as in most ether
cities; high blocks look like low small
buildings, the street like narrow asles. In
the distance, to the north, you see the city
rescrvoir-built Of stone-erected at great
cost-supplied by water from the river
thrown up by an engine and force pump
taken from the reservoir by large pipes and
from them by small pipes into almost every
nook Of the city. Suppose you take din.
ner at the Planters House. You enter a
long dining room with many tables; small
tables Of marble for gentleman lady or
particular guests. You sit down at the
table and bye-and bye they place before
you published schedule cf fare ask you
what you will have-set you glass of
water you take the glass-up to your lips
it goes-down it comes! What disgust.
ed-"Landlord waiter this water is not
tit for any white man to drink" The
darkey says, "kind sir, this is river water :;
first rate; the only water we have; it gets
its riley and colored appearance FROM the
Missouri river"
st. Louis is noted for her fine churches
and their tall spires; largest hotel and
deepest artcsian we'll in the United States
Bar and eating saloons abound here profu
sion. Booths Of oil kinds. Everywhere

The opening of the German national
shooting festival at Frankfort. on. the Main;
on the 10Th inst, was one Of the grandest
pageants ever witnessed on the continents
II was perfect triumph of the popular par
", and the whole press Of Germany rings
with it:
"At eight o'clock in the morning ths
thunder Of heavy cannon announced the
opening Of the ceremonies for which the
youth Of all Germany had been waiting
long months with indescribable eagerness.
The whole city of Frankfort was decorated
With emblematic banners, and hung with
evergreens and garlands. Every balcony
and window, nay, even the roofs were
crowded with spectators from every part
Of Fatherland, and thousands Of beautiful
women attested the interest taken by the
sex in this great demonstration Of German
nationality. Over the Council House Of
the diet waved the 'schwarz, gold, roth, ths
banner of German unity, and everywhere
the national emblcms predominated. AT
eight and half o'clock the deputations
began to arrive-the Nurembergers first,
then the Hanoverians and Thuringians, and
with them the Duke of Coburg. Qickly
after these came the Middle Rhinelanders,
the Saxons, tho Rhine Prussians, the Baden
men, the people Of the Vorarlberg, in their
mountain costumes, the Suabians, the
Swiss, and the Berliners. After the first
procession followed one Of still grander d.
mentions, with great display Of flags and
national costumes. 1t embraced the very
numerous delegates from Bavaria and Aus.
tria, the Salzburghers, the Steirmarkers
and the Tyrolesc. The enthusiasm with
which all these were greeted was overs
whelning, and when they stood face to
face in the grand hall Of the railroad de-
pot these children Of all Germany, gather
ed from the mountain to the sea, and in.
toned together the thrilling national, "Was
st des Deutschen Vaterland ? the impress
sion melted many manly heart to tears.
To attempt description of the multiplied
ty Of provincial banners would overcrvwl
our columns; all of them were superb, and
most Of them were connected with stirring
historical associations. One, however, We
cannot omit. 1t Was the flag of Innsprtfcfs
"a magnificent green and white standard
with the red eagle Of Tyrol in the centre.
There is one near it, not outwardly attrac-
tive, but more precious than all the rest. 1t
was bore partially furled, but the decora-
tions Of honor that hung around it, and the
bullet holes that marked it, indicated that
it had a history. 1t was the flag of An

OUR COUNTRY,S CALL.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Lay down the axe fling by the spade;
Leave in its track the toiling plow;
The rife and the bayonet-blade
For arms like yours were htter now.
And let the hands that ply the pen
Quit the light desk and learn to WELD
The horsemsn's crooked brand, and rein
The charger on the Battlefield.
Cur country calls away away!
To where the blood stream blots the green.
Strike to defend the gentlest sway
That time in all his course has seen.
See, from thousand coverts-see
Spring the armed foes that haunt her track
They rush to smite her down, and We
Must beat the banded traitors back.

Men Of the glade and forest leave

An iron tempest on the foe
His serried ranks shall reel betere
The arm that lays the panther low.
And ye VINO breast the mountain storm,
In grassy step or Highland lake,
Come for the Ia nd ye love to form
bulwark that no foe can break.
stand, like your own gray cliffs that mock
The whirlwind staad in her defence;
The blast as soon shall move the rock
As rushing squadrons bear ye thence.
And ye whose homes are by her grand
swifs rivers, rising far away.
Come from the depth Of her green land
As mig hty in ysur march - they;
As terrible when the rains
Have swelled them over bant and bourne,
With sudden floods to drown the plains,
Aud sweep along the woods uptorn.
And yc who throng, beside the deep,
Her ports and hamlets Of the strand
In number like the waves that leap
On his long murnuring marge OF sand.
Come, like that deep, when DER his brim
lie rises, all his floods to pour,
And filings the prOudest barks that sWims
helpless wreck against his shore.
Few, few were they whose swords Of old
Won the fair land IN which we dwell:
But we are many We who hold
The grim resolve to guard it we'll.
Strike for that broad and goodly land,
Blow after blow, till men shall see
That Might and Right move hand in hand,
Aud glorious must their triumph be.

WAsHINGroN AT WATERLoo.-"My dear
ly beloved hearers, saida very popular
preacher down South, when haranguing
them on the importance Of perse,.

heat Of the skirmish his horse was killed
by British cannon ball. Did Washing

Be HAPPY Now.-.This forever looking
forward for enjoyment, don't pay. From
what we know it, we would as soon
chase butterflies for living, or bcttle up

true happiness is to take the drops of hap

of our lives. The boy must learn to be hap

sure to miss his enjoyment when he gains

the Eaton Resolutions, which will
be moved and passed on the 2lst
inst, will be equally pithy and terse.
1t Is a sober and s%criptural fact,
that America, both North and
South, has got into q fix, and the
fxers are to be found in the North
and in the South. The question,
then, is: How are we to get out Of
this devilish and. hellish fix? We
answer advisedly-by dismissing
our present race Of hirelings, and
by filing the Congressional Hall
with wise and honest Democratic
men, who will rule in the fear of
God, and legislate tor the safety Of
the Constitution as it is, and the
restoration of the Union as it was
three years ago.
Patriotic freemen, and earnest
Democrats of America, both North
and South, awake, reflect, and act
like men. Save your country, and
your homes, wives and children,
from impending. ruin. Hurl the
unworthy from power, shat the
place that now knows them, may
know them no more forever"
Such statesmen as Cox and Vallan-
digham are the stamp and class of
men that must cave America, and,
under God, bless the nation with
peace, unity, prosperity and har-
mony.
Let us see our readers and friends
on Saturday next, the 21st inst,
in Eaton, by the thousand. Come
young and old, come ons-come
all. We earnestly hope, that two
hundred receipts for the money for
which we look on Saturday, and
which is still due to us for the pa.
per, will be called for, and two
hundred new subscribers entered
on our Office books. There are
some considerable and honorable
men, who have paid us for theforth
coming year they have our sincere
thanks
