ground and rested two hours when we
were ordered to take up our line Of march.
We marched some IA miles arriving at a

We then went into camp for the night
At three o'clock the next day we again

encamped. We are only half mile
from the Rapidan river. When we came
into this camp the men were ordered to
stack their arms, they then broke ranks,
and there being two plantations close at
hand, the boys went in for their supper.
One of them came over the hill with a
load of chickens, another with turkeys,
and another with good fat sheep. One
OF the farmers had 400 nice sheep and
last night there was not one of them left.

A. LINCOLN.

A DoLoRoUs DEACoN.-I have seen a
deacon in the pride of his humanity. He
combed his hair straight, and looked studl-
ously at the main chance and while he
looked he employed himself in setting a
good example. His dress was rigdly plain,
and his wife was not INDUCED in the vanities
OF millinery and mantua-making. He never
ioked, he did not know what joke was any
further than to know that it was sin. He
carried a Sunday face through the week.
He did not mingle in the happy social parties
of his neighborhood. He was a deacon. He
starved his social nature because he was a
deacon. He RETAINED from all participation
in free and generous life because he was a
deacon. He made his children hate Sunday
because he was deacon. He SO brought
them up that they considered themselves I'M
fortunate in being the children of a deacon.
His wife was pitied by other women because
she was the wife of deacon. Nobody loved
him. If he came into circle where men
were laughing or telling stories, they always
stopped until he went out. Nobody grasped
his hand cordially, or slapped him on the
shoalder, or spoke Of him as good fellow.
He seemed as dry and hard and tough as a
piece Of jerked beef. There was no softness
of characterize juiciness-no loneliness in
him.
Now it is no use for me to undertake to re-
alize to myself that God admires such a
character as this.

18th Vermont Regiment, Bradley, in honor
of our distinguished and venerable fellow
citizen the Hon. VIM. c. Bradley, having
been sent to him, he wrote the following in
teresting note to the commanding officer,
which we take pleasure in publis hing;
Brattleboro, 18th Aug, 1862.
Dea, Sir: | have received at your hand
the certificate of baptism OF the Camp OF the
eleventh Regiment, Vermont Volunteers-a
fayorite number-and beg through you to
express my sense of the honor done me.
Although always incapacitated from taking
any part in the military service of my coun-
try by my infrmlty, and although this is not
the time to cherish mere State pride, yet
cannot forget that IN my childhood the fame
which the Green Mountain Boys had &C
uuired and established in the Revolutionary
war, then barely closed, were ringing In my
ears and afterwards the praises OF their
vigilance GOODNESS and courage under Boyd
in the battle of Tippecanoe which saved Gen
Harrison certainly from surprise and prob
ably from defeat, and then in the last war
with Great Britain, their exploits on the Nj
apara frontier which have often heard read
| ily ackno \ lodged by Lieut.. Gen. Scott, not
forgetting the battle of Chepultepec where
| they were the first to enter the breach and
would have had their full credit out for the
fall of the gallant Ransom. With such ante
cedents let me hope, nay, feel assured that
when the troops pass out OF your Camp INTO
the scenes Of conflict the old glory will go
with the IN and cheer them on to victory.
l have the honor to be
Your very humble servant,
VIM. c. BRADLEY.

kiss ME MOTHER, AND LET ME COZ

The Springfield Republican publishes the follow
ing beautiful poem by Aiss Priest, the author Of
over the 9iver." W copy it as the most eloquent
and effective means at our disposal for securing
alike von and involuntary tears. 1t possesses
almost the pathetic power of the little poem when
bv itself has given the writer place in American
Literature. Read it every body
Have you heard the news that heard to-day?
The news that trembes on every lip?
The sky is darker again, they say,
And breakers threaten the good old ship.
Our country calls on her sons again,
To strike, in her name, at bastard foei
She asks for six hundred thousand men,
would De one, mother Let me CO. .-
The love OF country was born with me-
/ remember how my young heart would thrill
When / used to sit on my gransame's knee
And list to the story of Bunker Hill.
Life gushed out there in rich red food
Ny grandsire fell in that fight, you know
Would you.have me shame the brave old blood?
Nay, kiss me, mother, and let me go.
Our flag the flag of our hope and pride
With its stars and stripes and its field OF blue,
Is Knocked, insulted, torn down, dehed,
And trampled upon by the rebel crew,
And England and France look on and sneer,
"Ha, queen of the earth, thou art fallen low"
Earth's down trodden millions weep and fear,
So kiss me, mother and let me go.
Under the Southern burning skies,
Our brothers languish in heartsick pain,
They turn to US with their pleading eyes
Oh, MOI her, say, shall hey turn in vain!
Their ranks are thinning from sun ID sun,
ct bravely they hold at bay the foe;
Shall we let them die there, one by one?
Nay, kiss me- mother, and let me GO.

Refusing the smallest 1.-THE to yield, 81
While thousands of m others send ng boys -t
Beloved as yours, TO the battle fell?

And restrain my arm from the needIul blow!
Not so; though your heart should break with pain,
