DICKENS CRADLE SONG OF THE POOR.

Hush, I cannot bear to see thee
Stretch thy tiny hands in vain;
l have got no bread to give thee,
Nothing, child, to ease thy pain.
When God sent thee first to bless me,
Proud and thankful, too, was |;
Now, my darling, l, thy mother,
Almost long to see thee die.
Sleep, my darling-thou art weary
God is good, but life is dreary.
I have seen thy beauty fading,
And thy strength sink day by day
Soon know will want and fever
Waste thy little life away.
Famine makes thy mother reckless,
Hope and joy are gone from me;
1 could suffer all, my baby,
Had but a crust for thee.
am wasted, dear, with hunger,
And my brain is sore oppressed;
have scarcely strength to press thee,
Wan and feeble, to my breast
Patience, baby, God will help US,
Death will come to thee and me;
He will take Us to his heaven,
Where no want or pain can be.
Sleep, my darling-thou art weary
God is good, but life is dreary.

How the Yankee Ranks are Filled.

~ses<<SA
The Lynchburg Republican has some In
formation on the subject Of the game prac-
tioed by the United States Government in
filling up the ranks of its army, which it
says is entitled to credit. The agents of
the Government are scattered throughout
Ireland, stating, as inducements to.emigrate
that there are numbers of vacant farms in
the United States needing laborers, and
that none but young, hale and hearty men
will be received. In each county number
is made up, and leader or captain is desig-
mated from among them to whom they are
instructed to pay implicit obedience. Pas
sage is seoured for them, and on their arri-
val in New York harbor, they are visited
by a recruiting officer, with bounty of
$3.50 in each hand. They are then speed
lily transferred to the barracks for drill, re-
tanning as their officers those designated in
Ireland as leaders. We are informed, adds
the Republican, that not less than two hun
dred thousand men have been recruited on
this plan in Ireland, and in other parts of
Europe the same game is being played to
an equal extent. We have here key to
that provision of the draft which allows i'm
muulty to those who pay $500 to the Fed
eral Treasury for exemption. And the
facts suggest the queries-is not the Eng
lish Government aware of what's going on ?:

TREATED AS A CoNvIcT.-The N. York
World, of Monday, has an editorial on the
conduct of Gen. Burnside, from which we
learn that Morgan and his officers, now In
the Ohio penitentiary, are treated like con.
victs, and their heads shaved. The follow
ing is paragraph:
After several months of junketing, his
army finally moved out to the Kentucky
River, but never came near the enemy. The
only enemy in Kentucky was allowed to
pass directly through the State. In the
face of Burnside and of all his troops, Nor.
gan was permitted to ride by him almost
unmolested, and to cross into Indiana and
Ohio, and not until the citizens of those
States had rallied, in sufficient numbers was
the bold marauder captured. But If Burn
side had nothing to do with catching the
hare, he insists upon his right to cook it
when caught. -
