Send the Children to Sunday School.

The Sunday School is a far greater and more i'm
portant work than it is usually esteemed TO De-
True, it may be, that parents will leave all the work
oftheir children's improvement to the Sabbath Scnooi
teacher, and in that event it does harm, for If the pa
rent 9segIeets his duty, the child will refuse to do ms.
Teachers ought to be meek followers of the Lamb OF
God, and bright exemplars of the precepts they en-
deaver to engraft upon the youthful mind. "Ac-
tons speak louder than words" is peculiarly appll-
cable to children. Parents should not neglect to
teach their children the doctrine of Righteousness
and Truth Gthome and enforce them by example,
Then, when, on the Sabbath day, they 60 to Sabbath
School, they will be better scholars and children
The responsibility resting upon both parents and Sun
day School teachersi is a solemn and weighty one. It's
far greater upon the man or woman who will permit
their children to loiter about the streets or woods, or
engage in some frivolous amusement, on that hely
day, or will not suffer them to go with clean clothes
and smiling faces to the School, where they can learn
lessons of profit to their mind and soul. The re-
cords Of the penitentiaries, prisons and criminal dock
cts, show that but few Sabbath School scholars were
ever convicted of crime, and those that were, went but
little and then absented themselves.
As you value the moral and religious improvement
of your children as you value the security and sta
bAity OF your government, and the virtue and lnteg-
rity of those who hereafter will conduct its affairs
and administer its laws, send your children to Sab
bath School. But be sure that they are instructed
in the law of love and kindness, and Of heavenly
truth, at home! That should be their great pranaG-
Ty school, college and lima Meter ! Keep them from
idle habits, and out Of the streets, during the week.
The street is the great College, where rogues, gam
blers, murderers, and all villainous classes graduate.
1t is a bad school, an improbable, yea, an expensive
school. Here a good boy, many times, by the ex-
ample of bad boys, is made a greater adept in mis-
chief than his teachers. Boys during the week
should be kept at school, or actively employed at
some profitable occupation.

to the duty of picking up the stragglers, and
hence there is no good feeling between the

The cavalry man, instead Of getting mad,
seemed to enjoy this raking over from the
plucky little Sergeant, and as he rode on,
laughed heartily at tit. AS the squadron was
filing nearly past the Sergeant, one of them
remarked lido you know who you were
talking to p
"Yes-to a cowardly Virginia cavalry
man."
"No sir-thats General Lee"
"What ?"

Lille Gray.

Soft as 8olian harp notes, and sad as the wall ola :
broken heart, were the music gushes that stole out
from a little miniature Paradise, sweet vine embow-
cred cottage, nestled down amid verdant shrubbery,
flowers OF the rarest tinting and fragrance, and large
spreading trees, whose lsng leafy arms brooded pro-
tectingly over it, as l stood one soft summer eve up
on the brow of a hill that overlooked it Just as the
golden sunlight threw its parting salute upon the
ivy-crowned roof, Illuminating it with an almost in
conceivable glory and beauty.
Long I listened entranced, bewildered, spell-bound,
as it were, to that wild, mournful heart.warbline ;
and when it had dfed away, It's echoes seemeo to lin
ger round me Sc, that l sat there for more than an
hour upon the hills brew, scarce believing but that
Ths2~d il Sill; and knew that the burthen of some
young hes great heart sorrow had been waited to
ne upon the breath Of those quivering strains.
Slowly and sadly, IS il under the influence of some
powerful sret, I arose, and retracing my way back,
beeoHEht m tTiend-tor l was bus a transient resi-
dcot ANS TIE beauties OF that sweet rock-girded
C.}-~fo translate To- me the %Inournful revelations of
tIa5 at~t..e Wi'd soug.
Wouid you know it, reader? Two years before, a
prout and highborn wOoer had knelt at the feet of
Lille Gray; a maiden with silkea jetty tresses, and
lag e lustrous eyes, with a wealth of feeling lurking
in taeir midnight depths, and plead for the yich boon
81 her trusting young hearts love.
And freely and lavishly was it given and day af.
ter day he came and sat beside her, with his thrilling
eyes looking down into the depths of her heart, and
culling rich treasures from that hitherto unfolded
Misunderstanding leaf after leaf, until the delicate
tracery of that casket of mysteries had been all re-
vealed and became to him like a familiar tale, and
then it had ceased to charm longer. And then he
had grown cold, and ceased his wooings and daily
walks, and lovelit glances, and ere long he told her
that a proud and naughty lady, of peerless beauty
and untold wealth, had stood beside him at the altar,
and that he called her by his name, and yielded her
his hearts devotion.
And she had listened like one entranced, and then
one long loud shrek went up, and LILIES heart snas
broken.
And now day after day she sits in the low piazza
where last he sat beside her, with her rich tresses
hanging in dishevelled masses around her frenziec
face, forever pouring forth that wild, mournful
touching melody, that almost made me weep to lister
to.
And the false lover, with his naughty bride be.
side him, rolls daily by in his gilded chariot, ant
laughs and jests as carelessly as though for him
young life had not been shrouded in darkness-a
though for him that delicate "harp of a thousan
strings" had not been broken.

Not a S~traggler.

On the morning after the great battle of Manas-
sas Plains, Sergeant---,of Co. A, 10th Mis-
sissippi Regiment, being barefooted, struggled off
from his command, traversiag the battlefield in pur-
suit of a pair of shoes which some frightened Yankee
might have thrown away in his flight. After look
ing for a time in vain he at last saw a pretty good
pair on the pedal extremities of a dead yankee. He
sat down at the feet of the dead yankee, pulled off
his shoes and put them on his own feet. Admiring
the fit, and c~omplimenting himself upon this addi-
ton to his marching abilities, he aroses and with
knapsask on his back and gun in hand, was about
starting to evertake his regiment, when he observed
coming towards him a small squadron of cavalry, all
OF whom, as it was drizzling rain, were wrapped in
their large rubber or oil-cloth overcoats. 1t will be
remembered that the cavalry are frequently assigned
