LOST IN A CAvE.--We learn that
while Gen. Joe Reynolds Division was
encamped near Nick O. Jack Cave
about ten miles from Bridgeport, on the
Tennessee riyer-two of the boys oi
the 72d, who entered the cave on a
"reconnoitering expedition" lost their
way in the mazes Of the cavern and
we're unable to find their way out
They remained in the cavern two days
and nights and were finally rescued
from horrible death by means OF a
brass band playing through the long
passages and ventilated chambers
The lost men, bearing the music. were
enabled to find their way with some
difficulty to their companions. During
their wanderiugs they had stumbled up.

afterward searched for and brought
forth from what had proven to them g

THE WINDS.

E;gbt comes upon Che earth; and fearfnlly
Arise the mighty winds, and sweep along
In the full chorus Of their midnight song. :
The waste of heavy clouds, that veil the sky,
Roll like murky scrawl before them driven.
And show faint glimpses Of darker heaven
No raw is there, Of moon or pale-eyed star:
Darkness is on the universe; save where
The western sky lies glimmering, faint and
far,
With davis red smbers dimly glowing there.
Hark! how the wind comes gathering IN Its
And, sweeping onward with resistless force.
Hovls through the silent space Of stsrless
skies.
And on the breast Of the swollen ocean dies.
Oh, thou art terrible, thou viewless power.
That rid'st destroying at the midnight hour!
We hear thy mighty pinion, but the eye
Knows nothing Of thy awful majesty.
We see all mute creation bow before
Thv yiewless winds, as thou careerest DER
This rocking world; that in the boundless sky
Suspended, vibrates, as thou rushest by.
There is no terror in the lghtning's glare,
That breaks its red track through the track
less air;
There is no terror in the voice that speaks
From out the clouds when the loud thundel
Over the earth. like that which dwells in thee
Thou unseen tenant of immensity.

Major Gen. Banks, had effected q

place at the mouth Of the Rio Grande

MORE NICE TEAM WIsE.-A pbysi-
clan had attended the only child Of rich
parents, and had, with the aid Of Prov
idence, saved the infants life. A day
or two after her darling was pronounced
out OF danger, the grateful mother Wis
tied the man Of science at his house.
Doctor, said she, there are certain
services which mere money can
not remunerate. Scarcely knowing how
to discharge my debt TO you, l have
thought you might be willing to accept
this pocket-book, which 1 have myself
embroidered, as trifiing token of my
gratitude Madame retorted the
disciple Of Esculapius, somewhat rude
ly, 'the practice Of medicine is not a
matter Of sentiment. Time is money,
and We expect our time to be paid for
in money. Pretty presents may serve
to perpetuste friendship, but they dc
not contribute to the cost of house
keeping well, then, doctor, : replied
the lady, much wounded by his tone
and manner, be good enough to name
the sum at which you value your pro-
fessional seryices?' Certainly, Mad
anne, my charge in your instance is
two thousand frsncs.' Without further
remark, the lady opened the rejected
pocket-book which she still held in her
hand, took Two OF the FIvF one thou
sand franc notes slowed inside, placed
them on the great mans table, and qui-
etly bade him good morning.

WHOSE FATHER WAS BE,
. Philadelnhia Inquire

From the Philadelphia 1nquirer.
After the battle Of Gettysburg, q
Union soldier was found in secluded
spot on the field, where, wounded, he
had laid himself down 70 die. In bis
hands, tightly clssped. was an ambro-
type containing the portraits of three
small children, and upon this picture
bis eyes, set in death, rested. The
last object upon which the dying father
looked was the image Of his children.
and as be silently gszed upon them, his
soul passed away.
When, after the battle. the dead were
being buried. the soldier was thus
found. The ambrotype was taken from
his embrace, and has since been sent
to this city for recognition. Nothing
else was found upon his person BY
which he might be identified. His grave
has been marked. however, so that i
by any means this smbrotype will lead
to his recognition. he can be disinterred
This picture is now in the possession o
DR.. Bourns, No. l.I04 Spring Garder
street Of this city, who can be called
upon or addressed in reference to it,
The children, two boys and girl, ars
apparently nine, seven and FIVE year
OF age, the boys being respectively thu
Oldest and youngest Of the three. Th'
youngest boy is sitting in high chair
and on each side Of him are his brothe
.
and sister. The oldest boys jacket j
made from the same material as hi
sisters dress. These are the mos
prominent features Of the group. 1t
earnestly desired that all the papers i
the country will draw attention to th
discovery Of this picture and its attend
ant circumstances. so that, If possible
the family of the dead hero may com
into possession Of it. OF what inesti
mable value will it be to those children
proving as it does, that the last though
Of their dying fatherwas for them, an
them only.

A SONG OF THE WAR.

Tie earliest ray of morn has brought
The din of arms TO many an ear,
Aud many life was quickly bought
And fitted for the narrow bier;
For hours the fash Of musket cleaned
Along the ranks from line to line.
Ror hours our shining bayonets beamed
Like shifting spray upon the brine.
The day that flushed the summer sky
At length had faded into night
And many a star had risen high,
And dropped on earth its rays Of light;
The pale moon rose above the hills,
Aud coldly smiled upon the plain
It's rave were riding:on each ri3l,
And resting on each battle slain.
But one whose brow was young with wears,
Lies where the sunbeams kiss his brow:
o! We who never shed warm tears,
Come gaze-and shed them now.
See where the bullets pierced him through,
And laid him ina pool of gore;. -
Upon his brow the pearly dew sT7
OF life will settle there no more.
This lad he left HIS yine-clad hills
To seek the tseacherous baths plain,
Where iDwsthe blood IKE mountain. pilis
Bfem many stalwart hero slain. III
He was the first within the fray,.
The dash, the charge, the igiit,
But now his brow Of marble clay
In death is ashY, cold and white.
Alas! that cruel death should take
The life that filled his noble breast.
And sad that such heart should break
To take its last and only rest.
When parents watch for his return,
His vine-elad hills among
0.'how their hearts will beat and burn.
To know that be will ne'er come home.
klhs.,I1 wonder if that heart viii break
Within his aged mothers breast,
When she shall learn her sons sad fate.
And where he takes his lonely rest?'
Alasl for her. the gentle maid,
Who lonely waits his fond returnl
She soon shall know that meath the shade,
The pine tree is her lovers urn.

MY CHILDHOOD'S HOME.
BY THOMAS ,. rErrI1.

I often muse upon the past
Upon my younger life,
Before times cold and chilling blast
Game DER me with its strife;
And over memory's mystic sight
In tints of morning ray,
Come cherished forms of life and light
OF years long passed away!
oh! then, how free from shame and sin,
NV childhood hours flew by!
No thought that the pure joys within,
Could ever dim, or die!
Nv life was then one varying stream
of light and living joy,
Ofpleasure, hope-a living dream
OF bliss without alloy!
Grief-strick en- hearts, and briming tears
That blaneh the cheeks Of men;
Uncertain strifes Of manhOod's years
, Were all unheeded then.
Then soft the sunlight o'er me beamed,
The gentle winds were mild,
And all the world an Eden eemed,
To me-a simple child.
Then sweetly sang the summer birds,
Mid blossoms pure and rare;
Affections tender kiss and words
Were even with me there;
Alas! the sun, whose dawning beams
Were full of hope and gladness,
Sends dimly back his parting CLEANS.
On cloud, and gloom, and sadnessl
For clouds have gathered o'er my way,
Yet still backward gaze,
To gather from the suns last ray,
Bright dreams of other days.
Now sadness weighs upon my heart;
Care furrows o'er my brow,
And from my childhood's home apart,
And lone wander now.
Ye cherished forms of life and light
Of years long passed away.
Come over memory's mystic sight.
In tints of morning ray.
Come thou my loved--my childhood's hol
For thou art dear TO me,
And wheresoe'er my footsteps roam,
My heart still turns to theel
