OUR LYONS. BY A DEPARTING VOLUNTEER. We are going forth to leave you,
 Loving friends, and gushing hearts. For the scenes of strife and conflict
 Hear one word erswedspart. Freedom's noble cause has called us
 From our usual peaceful toil; From the scenes of early childhood,
 To uphold her cause awhile. With the thought of gallant LYON,
 With the thought our cause is right, With our trusty. noble leaders
 We are going to the fight. Never shall that gorgeous banner
 Grayely given in our trust, Be by one foul act dishonored,
 Or for once trailed in the dust. And the memories of heroes as Who have psrished in the fight, Who have crowned our State with glory-- a Nerves our hearts and gives us might. When vile trsason's form has fallen,
 Never more to raise it's head, Wsll return, with bannsrs waving,
 With steady. joyous tread. Fall thes must, some of ouf number. Butif; ia God, is placed thsir trust. Il. . A.. l-

 Where the darkest shadows creep. She is listcning-meekly. purely.

 Running on like time and tide, Maiden fair, oh have 6 care; Vows are many-truth is rare. He is courtly, she is simple;
 Lordly doublet speaks his lot; She is wearing hood and wimple-
 His the castle, hers the cot. Sweeter far she deems his whisper
 Than the night birds dulcet trill; She is smiling-he beguiling-

 Behind tho woods of Castle Keep; Tao air is chill-thc night wind blowing, And there I see Q maiden weop. Her cheeks are white-her brow is aching.

 Thus sang Hopeful Tackett, as he sat on his little bench in the little shop of Herr Kordwa- ner. the village shoemaker. Thus he sang, not artistically, but with much fervor and unction, keeping time with his hammer, as he hammered away at an immense stoga.' And as he sang, the prophetic words rose upon the air, and were waited, together with the odor of new leather and paste.pot, out of the window, and fell upon the ear of ragged urchin with an armful of hand bills.
 Would you lose leg for it, Hope?' he asked, bringing to bear upon Hopeful pair of crossed eyes, full complement of white teeth, and a face spotted with its kindred dust.
 For the Ranger ? replied Hopeful; guess would. Both on 'em-an' head, too.'
 Well, here's a chance for you. And he toss ed him haud-bill.
 Hopeful laid aside his hammer and his work, and. picked up the hand-bill and while he is reading it, let us briefly describe him. Hopeful s not beauty, and he knows it; and though some of the rustic wits call him Beaut," he is well aware that they intend it for irony. His phous nose at that-to be classic, and is wthal rugged in general outline and pimply in spots. His hair is decidedly too dingy red to be call ed, even by the uttermost stretch Of courtesy. auburn; dry, coarse, and pertinaciously obsti- nate in its resistance to the civiizng efforts of ! comb and brush. But there is a great deal of big bone and muscle in him, and he may yet work out noble destiny. Let us see. -.. By the time he had spelled out the hand-blll, and found that Lietenant - was In town and wished to enlist recruits for Company - I- Regiment, it was nearly sunset; and he took of his apron, washed his hands, looked at himself in the piece of looking-glass that stuck in the window-a defiant look that said he was not afraid of all that nose-took his hat down from its peg behind the door, and in spite of the bristling resistance of his hair, crowded it down over his head, and started for his supper. And as he walked he unused aloud, as was his custom addressing himself in the second person. Hope fal, what do you think of it? They want moFe soldiers, he? Guess them fights at Donelsor and Pittsburg Lannen bout used up some Q them ridgiments. By Jipgp Hopeful had been piously brought up, and his emphatic ex clamations took . mild form.)

 A pistol lay on the table. Lute, in despera- tion, caught it, and aimed it at him. He smiled scornfnlly.
 She dashed down the pistol and darted to- wards the door, but he held her fast. A mo- ment's struggling exhausted her little strength, and left her utterly helpless in his iron grasp There was no relenting in his face-he had no pity. Surged up then to her brain, with dull, waving sound to her ears, the quickened tide of blood. She seemed fainting, dying; when sud- denly. amidst the whirl and confusion of her faculties, she found she was listening to sound growing nearer and louder every moment; the quick gallop of horses, the creaking of gates, the loud echo of hoofs along the carriage road.
