Alice Bell Gray.

/
/ TnE Columbus correspondent of the Spring
field News tells the following neat thing"
Mr.. n. A.. Gray, clerk Of the Senaet-
familiarly known as Deacon" Gray-has a
little daughter here of some ten summers old,
who deserves a passing notice. She is the
sixth, and an only child--the rest having died
in infaney---and seems the counterpart Of
Lillian OF THE VALE" Quick in thought
and 1.-THE Of lmb-witty, shrewd and playful
she is the idol Of the Senate and House;
and all day long as, with fairy step, she trips
about the building, her voice in heard in
laughter and in song. Now she is seen in
the corridor-now on the steps OF the grand
stair way-now in the rotunda, whiring in
waltz with some gay young oavalierl Her
knowledge Of music-which is selfacquired-
is far beyond her years; and yet, ike her
other accomplishments, it does not seem ac-
quired, but simply a part Of her being. She
never was at school-ne7er had a teacher
never knew the irksome restraint imposed By
books and study; but through her brief de-
cade of years, has roamed as free as the
meadow breeze; and hence that she is a
Rose-in-BloOm" need not be a marvel. She
sees or hears, and comprehends as if by in-
tuition; nothing seems inscrutable to her;
and whether engaged at work or at play it is
equally a pastime. Her father has Kept
diary from the moment of her birth, which
abounds in charming incidents and hairbreadth
escapes, and in which even statesmen have
found occasion to laugh and weep by turns
A feather of dead parrot is stitched on one
of the pages, the sight of which disturbs poor
Alice, and causes many a sigh.
A few days since, soon after adjournment,
Alice stepped into the Speakers desk, and
giving the usual rap with a mallet called the
House to order. Each member doffed his
beaver and stood in waiting; when, turning
to Prof Sayler, Alice remarked, the gen
tleman from Hamilton will make speech"
Mr.. S. responded, and ventured to say it was
every members duty to kiss the prettiest girl |
in the Hall She at once observed, with wo-
manly grace, "the gentleman from Hamilton |
is out Of order :" and again the body stood
amidst uproarious laughter.

THE PICKET-GUAR0.

AN quiet along the Potomac, they say,
"Except, now and then, stray picket
Is shot as he walks on his beat to and fro,E
By rffeman hid in the thieket.
'Tis nothing private or two, now and then,
VIII not count in the news of the battle;
Not an officer lost-only one Of the men
, = Moaning cut, all alone, the deathnttle" 2
An quiet along the Potomac tonight,
When the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming;
Their tents, in the rays ofthe clear autumn mool
Or the Light of the watch-fre, are cleaning,
A tremulous sign, as the gentle night-wind
Through the forestleaYes softly is creeping;
While stars up above, with their glittering eyes
3 {. Keep guard for the army is sleeping.
There's only the sound of the lone sentTy's treat
As he tramps from the rock to tie fountain,
And thinks of tue two in the low trundle-bed,
For away in the cot on the mountain.
His musket falls slack-his face, dark and grim,
Grows gentle with memories tender,
As he mutters prayer for the children asleep
FOrtheir mother-may Heaven defend her!
The moon seems to shine just as brightly as then
That night when the love yet unspOken
Leaped up to his whenlow-murmured VOWS
~ 8 Werepledged to be ever UnbrokeR.
Then drawing his sleavs roughly over his eyes,
He dashes of tears that are yelling,
And gathers his gun closer up to its place,
AS if to keep down the heart-swelling.
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine-tree,
The footstep is tagging and weary;
Yet onward he goes, through the broad belt Of
light,
q Toward the shade Of the forest 50 drsaUss
Harkl was it the night-wind that rustled the
leaves?
Was it moonlight so wOndrously flashing?
It looked like a rifle" Hs! Mary, goodbye"
And the life-blood is ebbing and plashing
An quiet along the Potomac tonight,
No sound save the rush of the river;
While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead
The pieketis off duty forever. E. B.
