THE EAST.

The smoke which has concealed the
movements, the whereabouts and the
intentions of LEES army is gradual
" clearing away, so far, as regards
the position of the enemy. IfLee ev-
er intended a bold dash against Phil
adelphia or Harrisburg, he seems to
have abandoned the idea, and he
now appears to be gathering in his
scattered forces, to await an attack
from the amy of the Potomac. Cen
eral Pleesanton, it is reported, has
occupied Gettysburg, having driven
the rebels out, capturing large num-
ber of prisoners. In what direction
the Army of the Potomac is moving
we are not advised; but we may say
that it is moving; that it is believed
to outnumber lees force, without
counting the Militia north ofthe Sus
quehanna; and that in all probability
great battle will be fought within
day or two. Owing to the clos'
proximity of Gen, Meade, and th'
preparations Lee is making for de
fense, there Is no prospect Of an at
tack at present upon Harrisburg.
1 Everything now wonld seem to
depend upon the gcneralship of tn
new commander of the Army Of tn
Potomac.

SPRING.TlME.

In the early part Of May many persons
begin to. feel that they are not as well as they
have been. There is a degree of languor and
lassltude, an ind disposition to exercise, or even
to read or think much, which makes lie
almost drag. This ought not to be. There
is no good and sufficient reason why man
should not wake up to q newness Of life, and
en- bark in its business with a new energy
and new enterprise. The grass shoots up
in its grcenncss so delightfully."- refreshing
that we love to look upon it the buds swell
on the trees, and the beautiful flowers unfold
themselves; while the birds CT the wood fill
the sweet air with their rich and gladstone
diapasons. And why should man alone, Of
all the creation, look with languid eye upon
the spring time? 1t is unnatural, it is wick
ed, it is absurd and it comes about in this
plain, matter Of fact way. Man alive do you
see that pig yonder, lying in the corner of the
fence, or at the foot of the wall, his eye half
closed, and so lazy that he can't summon up
courage enough to wag his tail An hour
| sooner he was not 50, but was running to-
ward the corn. crib, at the farmers cry of
PEGGY" with the same agi ity that little
beggar boy would run from you, these times,
on the discovery that you have in mistake
given him dime instead of nickel The
pig has eaten so much that h. can scarcely
grunt. The lassitude which comes over mul.
titudes ofhumanity with the beautiful spring,
is the result of eating too much There is
nothing in the spring air to cause this for it
is soft ard balmy and blissful, and brings
animation and newness of life to every liv.
ing thing, man .nly excepted.
The modus opsraadi is worthy of being

by keeping up greater fire in April than in
mid winter? and We call it perversity. But
the maid does in the kitchen what the mis-
trees does IN the dining loom, she simply
puts the same amount Of fuel in the furnace
or crate daily. The maid roasts the outside
of her mistress, while the mistress herself
roasts her inner man; thus she is literally
between two fires. Is it any wonder that

BY MEMBER OF THE l6rH IOWA.
The call hath come, we must away;
Farewell, this green and aowery spot,
And welcome now the banners gay,
And now the howl of rifle shot;
And let the battle .lightnings play,
For Northland warriors falter not.
Farewell, once more, tho quiet camp
Farewell, We scenes whese roses bloom;
And welcome now the hosts dull tramp,
And clashing arms aud waving plumss;
For e'er Young Luna lights her lamp,
Well hear the foemen's cannon boom.
Farewell, ye fields of forest green.
Ye have lost your charms for me;
would not Iinger, though Queen
Arrayed her halls of dance in thee,
For my spirit longs for wilder scene,
And the silver shouts Of victory.
Oh, River farewell, thy grass green shore

Farewell the paths I'll tread no more;
Soft allurements once were strong,
But Welcome now old battles roar,
And welcome now her bloody throng.
Wick sburg's walls are proud and high,
And Death sits throned upon her steep,
But when our iron engines ply,
Will rouse her from her giants sleep;
And il, beneath her walls we die,
Ger nobler graves, who could weep?
What destinies hang upon this scale.
What millions sink into the night,

Or tremble at the traitors might?
Oh welcome be each maid and matrons wa

FATHER AND DAUGHTER.-There is no
prettier picture IN life than that of daught-
er reading to her aged father. The old man,
while listening to her silvery notes, goes back
to other times, when another one sat by his
side, and whispered words he will never hear
again, nor does he wish to do so, for in the
soft evening light he sees her image reflected
in her child and as one by one gentle emo
tons steal over him he wells his face, and the
daughter, thinking him asleep, goes noise
ly in search of other employment. Virgin
innocence watching over the cares and wants
of old age, isa spectacle fit for angels. 1t is
one of the links between earth and heaven,
and takes from the face of the hard and sell
fish world many of its harshest features.
