THE IMAGE.
BIT REV. g. BUTLER.

By REV. g. BUTLER.
Pride built my fancy home above
All foolish hopes and thoughts of thee
And from the torturing cords Of love,
dreamed that at last was free.
The mighty powers of space and time,
deemed had taught me to forget;
And scenes of . wild, distant cline,
Displaced at length my vain regret
But pausing in the strangers halls,
Weary sud faint with toll and care,
Some cruel hand, to deck their walls,
Had placed thy lovely image there.
/ started-gazed-and forced my heart
Its Wild emotions to disguise;
But almost cursed the painters art,
Which placed thy form before mine eyes
For oh, the ranking, cruel wound,
Which cruelty could not efface, ja
Refused to yield, alas, found, laG
To all the powers of time and space.
Though years had fed, when forced to see
Once more, that angel form Of thine,
Ny heart, involuntarily,
Poured forth its homage at thy shrine.
The stranger kindly babe me take
The type loved-he knew not why;
But lest my foolish heart should break,
dared not keep the symbo! nigh.
For oh, those cherub lips so dear,
That once so fondly kissed my own!
How conld hold their image near,
And know them gone-forever gone?
Those lovely arms whose fond embrace,
In years agone, to me bad given,
Far more than all the fancied bliss
Inow cen hope to find in Heaven.
Those loving eyes-tbst child like brow
That hand, alas, no longer thine
How could gaze upon them now,
And now they never can be mine?
Loves earnest, ardent, artless fame,
That CLOVIS within thy bosom pure,
To know another now may claim,
Ny jealous heart could ne'er endure.
If still should be forced to see
The image of that bosom fair,
And know it breathes no thought of me.
Alb, yes, 4 were more than could bear
Then may the type loved SO well,
Meier fade beneath the strangers care,
wildly kissed it-bade farewell
And left the worshipped symbol there.
Mr.. AYR, Iowa, Dec Goth, 1852.

Rotten SHlPs.-It appears that some OF
the vessels employed as transports for the
Banks Expedition have been compelled to put
into port in distress. 1t was to be expected
that the sharks" who delight to fatten on
the needs Of the public, would attempt to palm
off such dangerous "tubs" upon the persons
charged with their charter. But we are quite
unable to comprehend how they could sue
coed had the examining officers been DESTROYS
of doing their duty. As We understand, all
these vessels iwere inspected by an Officer Of
the Navy. Such an Officer, it seems to us,
ouqht to be able to decide whether or not q
vessel is ses-wortby. Even if he were not
thus competent, the age. character and rating
of any given vessel, can always be very sccu-
rate!y determined ct New York by inspection
of accessible records. It follows, Of course,
that the inspector WAS either bought up by
the owners, or criminally negligent Of his du
ty. In either case he deserves the most sum-
mary punishment, and we are glad to notice
tina. the Senate Navy Committee are looking
after him.

signed the command Of the Army Of the Poto.
mac. This may or may not be so; but Gen.
B. has received enough shabby treatment from
the Administration fully to warrant him in pur.
suing the course indicsted.-[Chicago Times.
If the Times would only tell the public what
this "shabby treatment was, the statement
would be more credible and more satisfactory.
We presume, in the view of the Times, it was
"shabby 4" to make Gen. Burnside Commander
Of the Army Of the Potomac. Shabby to
allow him to pursue his own plan, in his own
way, and in his own chosen time. Shabby,
likewise, to furnish him with all the supplies
he wanted. and more promptly than he ex.
pected. This is the sort Of support the Ad
ministration has given him. To us it appears
to be hearty and trustful cooperation with
one whose success Was hoped for before almost
oil things else. Burnside says this is what he
has received. He does not appear to think il
shabby" He does not attribute his recent
misadventure to the Administration. He i.
too manly for that. Unfortunately, he is moi
posted in the vocabulary Of the Times. Ap'
parently he does not know what "shabby
treatment is. He ought to have an Attach
of the Times with him to keep him posted!

r. The report Of Gen. Burnside, which ap-
peared among our dispatches yesterday morning,
must have been quite wet blanket tor the tory
press. They have been saying that it was Gen
Ha!leck that ordered Burnside to march through
Fredericksburg. Next, it was the President that
was to blame. The writer's have even gone 90
far IS to manufacture several very affecting sto-
ries about Burnside's sacrificing himself in ODE
dience to orders Poor fellows! they must fee
quite badly over the fact that Burnside gives al
their stories the lie, and assumes the whole re
sponsibility Of the movement to himself =
But We suppose they will make amends by in
venting and circulating an entirely new batch II
speedily as their wits will enable them.

GEOLOGICAL WoNDER.--About thirty years
ago, somebody made the discovery that the ice
fields of Siberia contained immense numbers of
fossils of elephants and mastodons. Where
they came from, or how they got there, is q
problem which, perhaps, may never be solved.
Their existence however, was no chimera and
as ivory is one of the most valuable commod-
ties of trade in all nations, some utilitarian
Englishmen conceived the idea of turning these
vestagcs of a former epoch to profitable ac-
count. Accordingly, about the year 1885,
Thompson, Bonner & Co., n rich London firm,
fitted out an expedition to seek ivory ia the ST.
berian ice Novel and incredible as it seemed
the expedition was crowned with complete sue
cess. The ship returned to England, richly
laden with the choicest ivory; and even to the
time, altogether the world knows little about it,
the ivory market is mainly supplied from the
ice fields Of Siberia Scientific american.

NORTHERN MEN in a SOUTHERN CLIMATE

BY some strange misconception, it has be-
come to be general belief, that, if the war
continues through the summer and fall, the
Northern troops must inevitably be defeated by
disease, as they cannot contend with the miasma
and malaria of the South, to which the South
ern troops are supposed to be thoroughly in.
ured.
Never was greater mistake made. In the
late Mexican war, it was demonstrated beyond
cavil that Northern troops sustained themselves
in better condition--so far as health was con.
cerned-than did the Southern soldiers In
the famous Indian war; it was satisfactorily
proved that the sickness and mortality in the
British army was less thau half of that which
depleted the opposing forces.
Thirty years ago. Captain Maryat completed
series of tables, by which he showed, concu.
sively, that Britons could and did successfully
meet the climatic changes of the Island of Ja-
maica, and that the deaths, in the British army,
did not equal, in proportion, the deaths among
the native islanders
Dr. Livingstone, whose travels into the very
heart of Africa have made him immortal bears
testimony to the hardihood of northern blood.
During his first exploration, three natives in
his retinue died to one Eupopean.
In short, it cannot be denied that persons of
northern birth are more hardy, and can more
successfully avoid disease, than can people born
in southern cline.
Even thus far we fnd that while sickness
prevails to an alarming extent in the Southern
army, our Northern troops are enjoying most
excellent health.
Putting health against health, or bullets
against bullets, we are not afraid to trust the
issue of the war with the troops of the Union.
