"And," said the Southerner, there's a
little brown eyed, brown haired girl that
used to watch in the cool afternoon for her
father when he rode home from his visit TO
the plantation--I can see her sweet little face
shining out now from the roses that covered
the pillaisyand the shout of Joy as bounded
from my horse and chased the little fying
feet and the loud laugh up and down the We,

watch again amoHg the roses for your father,
and you will never go laughing and romping

The Southerner tried to speak, but the

lips; but he took the hand of his fallen foe
and the stiffening fingers closed tight over it.
and his last look was one of forgiveness and
peace. And when the next mornings walk

LETTER OF FTHURLoW WEED FROM

WAsHINGToS, Dec. "a.
The collision between Senators and the

interest can be promoted by flaming the
embers" am disposed to do so. But there
is one perplexing phase of the question.

State has not been IN .faror of a eigorous
prosecution Of tile aoar This is such re-
versal Of truth that cannot see how Sena-
tors could be so illinformed as to make the
error tteir basis Of complaint. The Presi.
dent and every member Of the Cabinet know
bow utterly unfounded and unjust this accu.
sation is. They know that upon all war
questions the Secretary of State was prompt

army, TIE largest navy, and the most " Wig.

This charge was uGfounded--its specifica-

have been the ostensble rather than the real

aggravated rather than removed the causes
of difference. So that our conflict with re.

One OF THE PRIvATEs.--Elias Howe. Jr.,
widely known as the inventor of the lock
stitch" used in all the better class of sewing
machines, and whose income from his inyen-
ton is currently reported to be from two to
three hundred thousand dollars year, is a
priUate in the ranks of the 18th regiment
Connecticut volunteers. The paymaster hav-
ing neglected visiting this regiment, and his
comrades being in want of money, he lately
advanced $3l 900 with which to satisfy their
dues. He may be Significantly styled a

WHERE'S WY BABY,

The train from Toledo arrived this morn.
ing with heavy load of passengers, a few
minutes before the time for the Eastward
bound train to start, Among the passengers
was a lady with multitude Of small pack
ages and baby. On descending from the
Toledo cars, she was notified that she had to
hurry up or she would miss the train. Hug
ging the baby with one arm she endeavorcd
to grasp her packages with her disengagcd
hand, but they were too much for her. Do
what she would, there was always one band
box or one package too many The precious
moments were flying fast and the Conductor
of the Lake Shore train was shouting all
aboard. a. that moment good Samaritan.
in the shape Of n well dressed man volun.
teered to take charge Of the baby whilst she
gathered up her packages. She gave him
the child, and he ran off with it TO secure a
seat, whilst she followed with her bundles
and boxes.
As soon as she had picked up her traps
and reached the cars she looked out for the
man with her baby. He was nowhere to be
seen. She climbed into car and rushed
through it, but saw no man with a baby
Out on the platform again she darted in and
out among the crowd, shrieking" where my
baby?"
The bystanders inquired what the trouble
was, but she gave no explanation except that
a man had got her baby. In am instant all
was excitement Everybody rushed in diff
ferent directions shouting where's the wo-
mans baby !" the woman herselfadcn down
with bundles and bandboxes which she
clung to in all her trouble, ran round shrek
ing where's my baby 2' Depot officers,
Clark Warren and Van Huscn searched every
car, and sternly ordered several men with
children in their arms, to give up the wo.
mans baby" while the Conductor kept
shouting franticaly" all aboard"
Presently man in state of wild excite
ment carrying baby giving ample evidence
of lungs and windpipe in excellent order,
came rushing through the crowd shouting
where's that woman? Has any body seen
woman who gave me this conivunded ba-
by?"
The denouement is easily foreseen. Mother
and child met The boxes and bundles were
dropped and the baby overwhelmed with
kisses. Officer Clark Warren politely lifted
the mother and child into the car, while the
Conductor picked up the bundles and shout
cd "all aboard !"

THE YEAR 1862.

The year 1862 will be forever known q
memorable in the history OF the American
republic. The bloodshed in the war on this
continent has been enormous. There have
been few years SO awful with sanguinary
conflicts in any Of the modern wars Of E,i-
rope, including those Of Napoleon the great.
Among our battles of 1862 have been those
of Mill Spring, Fort Donclson. Shiloh, Cor.
nth, Pea Ridge, Perryyillc, Prairie Grove,
Winchester, Cross Keys, Port Republic.
Roanoke Island. Ncwbern, James Island,
Baton Rouge, Fair Oaks, Mechsnicsyille.
Gaines Mills, White Oak Swamp, Malvern
Hill, Cedar Mountain, GAINESVILLE, Bull Run
2nd, Chantilly, South Mountain, Antiotarn
and Fredericksburg, besides innumerabls
bloody skirmishes. On the enemy's coast
defenses, We have had the affair of the Mer.
rinac, the ,bombardmcnt Of the fosts Aelpsr
New Orleans, the bombardmex.s Of vicks-
burg. the gunboat engagement at Fort Ran.
dolph, that before Memphis, the affair Of the
Arkansas at the Iaoah Of Yazoo, the attack
on Fort Darling. two hombarlments Of Gal

HAD HIS EYE SHUT up.-Onc Sabbath af-
ternoon a sunday school teacher observed two
boys playing at marbles by the roadside
He stopped, told them how wicked it was,
and succeeded in pursuading the worst one
to accompany him to school. The lad was
decidedly fast youth Of about eight years
In the class, among other things, the teacher
told them that God made this beautiful
world, and all that is in it; we must thank
God for the good things we enjoy; he gives
us food and our clothes." ~ .E.. = rs.
" Does he give me my clothes too ?" broke
in the lad
" Yes he gives us everything" '@

AFFABIIlTY.-Be good naturcd, if you can,
for there is no charm so great, no attractions
so great no attractions so admirable. A face
that is always full Of the expression of amia.
bility, is always beautiful. 1t needs no paint,
no powder. Cosmetics are superlluous for
it. Rouge cannot improve its cheeks nor
lilly white mend its complexion. It's 10, eli.
ness lies beyond all thus 1t is not the gaze
into the face of II noble man or woman. il is
not the shape of the features you really see,
nor yet the tint Of the cheek, the hue of the
lip, the brilliance of the eyes; you see the
nain"lcss something which animatcs all these
aud leaves for your instinct a sense of Crate
ful fascination; you see an indtscribable EN-
hodinent ofheartfelt goodness within, which
wins your regard in spite of external ap-
pearance, and deliss all critical rules of the
