perpetually engrossed BY tbs cares OF
business, and who are all the time from

themselves to the ungratsful and highly

tunitY for the cultivation of home at
fections and domestic felicity. To ed
ucate any of the affections, its objects
must be so related to Us, as to call forth
the affection, and stimulate 1t to its
highest deeds. But let families be sep
arated from early dawn till bed time
flate bed time, as in too many cases, and
let their minds be occupied with other
objects, and the cultivation of the ten

But let the me1hbsfs of the family be
free from care one day in seven, and be
brought into contact with each other,
and, other things being equal, there will
be mutual love and happiness.
l need not say, that Sabbath of rest
is the institution of Nature, to give to
families periodical freedom from care
for bringing their members into con
tact with each other, and for pouring
into their laps the rich boons Of home
affection and happiness. The thing

THE PICKET GUARD.

"All quiet along the Potomac," they say,
"Except now and then stray picket
Is shot as he walks on Ills beat to and fro,
By rifeman hid in the thicket.
'Tis nothing-a private or two now and then,
Will not count in the news of the battle;
Not an officer lost-only one of the men
Moaning out all alone the death rattle"
All quiet along the Potomac tonight,
Where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming;
Their tents in the rays Of the clear autumn
morn,
Or thezlight of the watch-frc cleaning
A tremulous sign, as the gentle night-wlnd
Through the forest-leaves softly is creeping
While stars up above, with their glittering eyes
Keep guard-for the army is sleeping.
There's only sound of the lone sentry's tread,
| As he tramps from the rock to the fountain,
! And thinks of the two in the low trundle-bed
Far away in the cot on the mountain.
His musket falls slack his face dark and grim,
| Grows gentle with memories tender,
AS he mutters pray yer for the children asleep
| For their mother---may Heaven defend herl
The moon seems to shine just as bright as then,
That night when the love yet unspoken
Leaped up to his lips when love-murmured
| VOWS
Were pledged to be ever unbroken.
Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes
He dashes off tears that are yelling,
And gathers his gun closer up to its place,
As if to keep down the heart swelling.
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine-tree
The footstep is laying and weary;
Yet onward he goes thro' the broad beltof ligh
Toward the shade Of the forest SO dreary.
Harkl was it the night-wind that rustled tn
| leaves
Was it moonlight SO wondrously flashing?
It looked like a rife---"Ha! Mary, good-bye!
And the life-blood is ebbing and splashine
All quite along the Potomac tonight,
No sound save the rush of the river;
While soft falls the dew on the face Of tn
dead
The picket's off duty forever. E. d.

POINT OF HONOR.

A correspon dent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, writing from Nashville Of late
date. among many other sharp hits made
by Parson Brownlow, relates the follow
ing:
Meridith P. Gentry was once an ell
oouent member of the United States
Congress from Tennessee. He few off
the handle, as a Whig, when Gen. Scott
was nominated for the Presidency.
How much he contributed to SCOTS
defeat, it is impossible to tell, as he was
then much more respectable man than
he is now; but it is certain, the rebound
of his fire killed Gentry as Whig. AS
a Know Nothing, he ran afterward fol
Cover nor, against Andrew johnson, and
was badly beaten. Now he is mem
ber of the so-called Confederate Con
sress at Richmond. On his way to the
seat of piracy, from his residence IL
Bedford county, Tennessee, he calle'
on DR.. Brownlow. Being we'll stifene'
up with his usual stimulant, he wa
talkative. "Well, Brownlow,' said he

entire Congress. I wish them to Sc

hand in it. The proposition being
agreed to, he received the papers. and
is now their Chaplain.
The Parson verifes the fact, that 1t
was part of the rebels programme to
seize and hold the capitol. He said
stream of secession fire, worse than that
spoken of in the sacred book, came
streaming up last May from the Cotton
States, screaming and bowling through
Knoxville on its way to take the city
of Washington. l.

to peruse short letter from member
Of the 4Oth Ohio Regiment.
Although we have seen some Of the
hardships, and, also, some of the pleas
ures of soldiers life, we are still Will

integrity of our country, in this' the
hour of her calamity.
After leaving the State of Ohio we
came to Paris, KY, by rail; from thence
to Paintyille. q distance of 12O miles,
we came on foot, over some OF the worst
roads | ever saw. We arrived at Paint
Vile on the Sth of January, where We
were cordially welcomed by the 42d
Ohio Regiment, which had arrived here
on the day before, by the way of Sandy
river. On the 9th, a detachment from
the 10th Ohio, 42d Ohio, aud 18th Ky.
REGIMENTS were on the way again, over
the everlasting hills, in search OF Gen.
Marshall. whom we found near Preston
burg, ~ miles from Paintville.
On the 10th of January, one clock
: we made an attack upon him. Aftel
, fighting hard for three hours, we were
ordered to retire for the night, during
which the rebels retreated, leaving u
in complete possession of the field
- There were of the rebels killed am
n wounded about 15O We had about :
q killed and wounded.
- On the 18th we retired to Preston

about so miles from Paint. We arrive
Is here on the 10th, and found that I'll

been here now over two months; b.
since we hare been here we have bee

A UNION IRISH WOMAN IN VIRGINIA.

A UNION IRISH WON An IN VIRGINIA.
& released Union prisoner, who gives
his experiences in Secassia to the Rooa-
ester Express, relates this ahecdote:
Of the six or seven cars which started
from Manassas, there we're but two re-
naming when we reached the Rebel
capital (Richmond). We arrived there
about 9 o'clock il the evening. Afts<
the cars halted heard a low voice at
my window, which was partly raised.
1t was quite dark, and could not dis
tinguish the speaker, who was an lrislf
woman.
"Wisht, wisht!" said she, "are ysu
hungry
I replied that I was not, but that
some Of the boys probably were.
.'sWait till go to the house" she
continued; and moment afterward 1
heard her again at the window. She
handed me a loaf of bread, some meat.
and about dozen bakers cakes, saying.
"That was all had in the house, but I
had shillin" and I bought the cake
wild it; and if had more, you should
have it and welcome. Take it, and Gea
bless ye!"
I thanked her and said. aYoa arc
very kind to enemies"
"Wishtl" said she, ''and aia't I frsu
New York meself?''
This was the first "Union demonstra-
ton" that we witnessed in Old Virginia.
I thanked rod for the consolation which
the reflection afforded me, as for tho
third night 1 lay sleeplsssl5 ID the car
my clothing still saturated and my body
thoroughly chilled from the effects Of
the deluge at Manassas. l could hart
desired no sweeter morsel than the good
woman's homely loaf, and proud of th'
loyal giver, rejoiced that, ~ was frsn
New York meselfI''
