Mrs Bro,cning
How YEARLY the days go by,
How silence sits Il guest at home!
While she, with listleSS step and eye,
Still waits for one who does not come.
The sunshine streams across the floor,
A golden solitary track;
The flies hum in and out the door;
The old clock goes click-aclack
And baby sitting WOnder-eyed,
Watches the Kittens noseless play,
Till sleep comes gently and he lies
At rest through halt the summer day.
In twilight broodng dim and gray,
She sits beside the open door;
Before her lies the graveled way.
Ocrhung by ancient sycamore;
And through the eve she hears the cry
OF whippoorwills that shun the light;
She sees the stars of evening die,
And all around her reignS the night
Then By-lO-baby, baby-bye!"
She sings her little babe to rest,
And muses. with its rosy face,
Held warm and close against her breast
Beside her couch she weary kneels,
And clasps her hands before her face;
All. only Christ knows what she feels,
A lonely supplicant for grace.
She prayS for one who does not come,
And draws IN answer from her hopes.
And then, within her silent home
While stars slide down nights sivery slopes
She nestleS close beside her babe,
And one arm DER it shielding throws,
And dreams of JOYS that day denies,
Until the rose of morning blows.

A good story is told of Major Roper,
Chief Commissary Of this Division. The
Major is very fond of dancing, and enjoys
female society. A few evenings since, a
dance was given, and the Major was among
those invited. Wishing to waltz, he craved
an introduction to very pretty country
girl, whom he had been informed was a
fine WALTER. After the usual formalities,
the Major requested her hand for the next
waltz. Judge of his horror when she beg

civilian Read, an old sailor and man
of-war man, who was on board the Owas-
co, was one of the heroes of the fight at
Galveston. During the hottest moments
of the battle between the OwascO and the
rebel batteries, this man, who is forty
eight years of age, received severe wound
while in the act of loading his rifle. His
two forefngers on his left hand were cut
away, and the surgeon ordered him below,
but he refused to 60, and tying his pocket
handkerchief around his fingers, he re-

Not more than thirty minutes after, an
other shot struck him in his right Shout

shirt Masters Mate Arbana then ordered
him to go below, and have the Surgeon
dress his wounds. The brave old fellow
said, No, sir, as long as there is any fight

From the London punch"
Before thy stem smooth seas were curled,
Soft winds thy sails did move,
Good ship, that from the Western world
Bore freight of brothers love.
Twixt starving here and striving there
When wrath flies to and fro,
Till all seems hatred everywhere,
How fair thy white wings show!
Ger the great seas thy keel ploughed through
Good ships have borne the chain
That should have knit old world and new
Across the the weltering main.
The chain was borne-One kindly wave
Of speech pulsed through its coil;
Then dumb and dead in oceans grave
Lay hope and cost and toll.
But thou, good ship, again hast brought
Der these wide waves of blue,
The chain of kindly word and thought
To link these worlds anew
