THE RULING PASSION STRONG IN
DEATH.-When Lawrence was lying
stretched on the deck of the Chesapeake,
mortaIly wounded, and the immortal
spirit was about quitting its frail tenement,
his last dying injunctionwas, "Don't
give up the ship!"
When Bainbridge. lay struggling in
death, on the bed of sickness, his memory
reverted to the stirring scenes in which
he had many years before borne an active
part. He imagined himself in command
of gallant vessel, surrounded by bis
officers, on the eve of an engagement;
and, summoning all his energies for a
final effort, be exclaimed, " Call all hands
to board the enemy!"
When Porter, in a foreign land, was
sinking into the grave-his body worn
out with the exposures and hardships to
which he had been subjected for period
of many years, in the service of his coun-
try-in his last moments he directed that
his body should be buried at the foot
of the flagstaff, that even after death the
glorious stars and stripes of America
might wave over him.-Roston Msr.

The vai.andigham Platform.

If our Vallandigham conservatives,
says an exchange, had lived the time of
the first murder, they would have put it
into a platform about as follows:
RESOLVED, That we are equally op-
posed TO the pretended piety and evident
fanaticism of Abel and the authorized
violence of the heightened and chivalrous
Cain.
Resolped, That the 'Ultras who
are cIamering for the hanging of Cain,
which would only exaspcrate him, desire
to destroy the domestic happiness and
peace of the family, aud have no other
purpose in view.
" Resolved, That we are in favor of
Furnishing both parties, and invite all
conservative men to unite with us in
frowning down this whole business.
RESOLVED, That nobody has right
to provoke murder, and if Abel had
exhibited less fanaticism this nenever
would have occurred"

They are coming horne, coming home. ns
Brother and lover, father and SOD, .
Friend and fse--they are coming home,
To rest for their work is done. '-
They come from hospital. picket, and field,
From iron boat, and flowning fort, - e
In silent companies, slowly wheeled s

This was a father of women and men
Gray-liafred, but hale, and strong of limb
The bay enet flashed, and flashed again,
And the old mans eyes grew dim.
Here was a form of manly grace;
The bomb shell grooming through the air,
Drenched with his blood a pictured face,
And curl OF silken hair
This was a bright-eyed, venturesome boy.
+ Back from his perilous battle-ground
They bore him, walked from his dream of Joy
70 ghastly, fatal wound. =.
And thus for three days lingering,
He talked in wandering. rapid speech
Of mother and home, and the cooling spring
His lips could almost reach.
They are coming home, But not as they went
With the flying flag and stirring band,
With the tender word, and messages sent
From the distant. waving hand.
Up the'stels, and into the door
With hidden faces, our loved ones come
We may cry their names out DER and DER,
But their pallid lips are dumb.
o, friends untimelv snatched from hence,
May We find, beyond heavens lowering
