near the Mcchanicsville Ioad, The

to repel the enemy, when, upon the
men falling in, one ofthe 9th stepped
from the ranks and told the Captain
che wasn't able TO face the music y
You are scared" said the Captain ;
LAY down your gun and accoutrements
and retire, sir" The chicken-hcart-
ed gentleman did SO, when shortly
afterwards there stepped forward a
good looking darkey, named " esiey

mission to put on the deserted accou
trcments and shoulder his gun. The
request being granted, Wesley follow

though the shoils aud Minnie balls 0
the enemy were falling thick and fas
about him, Wesley never waveTed

Dogserel on the Dog Tax.

0ur wise Legislators some few months ago.
when dog Jlesh was plenty and finances low.
Caught the brilliant dea since the State "hard
up"
To "run the machine" at the expense Of the pup,
II therefore resolved that each four footed male
Should be taxed at the rate of one dollar peG tail,
And each female canine, three dUildts or So,
That puppies might not be encouraged to grow
And further, If any stray piece of dog meat,
Without collar oE check should be ruuuing the
street
Any law loving person its progress might check,
BY cutting its tail oil up close 10 its ucek
Now many conclusions did citizens lrr~
As to what was the motive in making the law,
Did the plenty OF ours give the place 1t bad name,
Or was tbs Fur Comp my anxious for game
Or was it the dog days? Oh, no it lay deep,
The law makers liked sausage, and wanted il cheap.
But be this as 1t may, the tax was assessed,
And the pup stock declined the inpost was
pressed,
And many owner of dogs had to bleed,
But ere TWO years is past the law il forgot,
And ours hight more as their ioretathers fought,
And pnls roam ut large in contempt of the tax
sill wagginG the Caualer end Of their backs.
And although It's I" day. by some 'ient men,
A descent upon dug-doln proposed again,
To them We would urge, not t0 b- So unjust,
But agree with the proycrh that "esery dog must
lave his day, or Al they must bc coerced
Let them be represented, At amy + Gc first
And, lasto, till each source of rrNcnUe !atS,
Don't cuRrAIL our pleas ares by taxing CUR-TAILs.

Fearless Eyes.

God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes The expression is one Of ex-
quisite tenderness aud beauty. The poet
Burns said he could never read this with
out being affected to weeping. OF all the
neyatirc descriptions of heaven, there is
10 one perhaps that would be better adapt
cd to produce consolation than this This
is world Of weeplng--a vale of tears -
Who Is there Of the human family who has
not shed IL tear? And what a change il
would make in our world. if it could be
said that hcncetorward not another tear
should be shed, not head should ever be
bowed again in grief Yet this is to be
the condition OF heaven. In that world
there is no pain, no disappointment, no
bereavement. No friend IS to lie in dread.
tul agony on a SICK bed no grave is to
be opened to receive a parent. n wife, Il
child; no gloomy prospect of death is TO
draw tears OF sorrow from the eyes. To
that blessed world, when our eyes run
down with tcnrs, we are permitted to look
forward and the prospect of such a world
should contribute to wipe away our tears
here, for all our sorrows will soon be over.
Amidst the trials OF the present life, when
friends leave us, when sickness comes,
when our hopes are blasted, when calum-
mes and reproaches come upon US. when
--standlng on the verge Of the grave AID
looking down into the cold tomb the
eyes pour forth floods of tears. 1t is a
blessed privilege to be permitted to look
forward to that brighter scene in heaven,
where not pang shall ever be felt and
not tear shall eve. Le 5hci Dr.. BarRcy.
