VEHITClEss,S NEW POEM.

The Octo |er number of the Atlantic contains
q poem by JOHN G. WHITTIER, entitled = Bar
bara Frietchie,"a 4 story of LEES invasion of
Maryland. We give it entire:
BARBARA TRIETCIuE
Up from the meadows rich with corn,
Clear in the cool September morn,
The clustered spires OF Frederick stand
Green-wallc by tue h lis OF MIryland
r ,und about them orchlrdS sweep,
Apple and peach tree fruted deep,
Fair Us 4 garden of the Lord
iothe eyes of tue furnished rebel horde,
On that please mt morn of the early fall
When Lee marched over the mountain wall
Over the mountains winding down,
Horse and foot. into Frederick town.
Forty flags with their silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars.
Flappcd in the morning wind: the sun
OF 40 )n looked down and saw not one.
Up rose old BarDlra Frie.clie then.
Bowed with her tourscore years and ten;
Bavest of all in Frederick town,
She took up the iiag the men hauled down;
In her attic-window the staff she set,
To show that one heart was loyal yet.
Stonewall jackson riding ahead.
Under his slouched hat left and right
He glanced: the old illg met his sight.
"Halt ."-the dust-brown ranks stood fast.
. Fire !'-out b!aZed The rillc-blast.
1t shivered the window, pane and sasn;
1t rent the banner with seam and cash.
Quick. as it fell from the broken staff
Dame Barbara snatchcd the silken scarf;
She leaned far out on the window sill,
And shook it forth with royal will.
''Shoot if you must, this gray old head
Bat spare your countrys flag" she said.
4 shade of sadness, Il blush of shame,
Over the face OF the leader came;
The nobler nature within him stirred
To lite At that woman'S deed and word
WHO touches hair of you gray head
Dies like 4 dog! March on = he said.
All day long through Frederick street
Sounded the tread OF marching feet:
All day long that free flag tossed
Over the heads of the rebel host.
Ever its torn folds rose and fell
On the loyal winds that loved il well;
And thro lgh the hill-gaps sunset light
ShOne over it with :: warm good night.
Barbara Frietchie's work is DER,
And the rebel rides on his raids no more.
Honor to her! and iet a tear
Fall, for her sake, on Stonewali'S bier.
Over Barbara Frietchies grave
Flag of Freedom and Union wave!
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of light and law,
And ever the stars above look down
On thy stars below at Frederick town.

AN ASPIRATION AND A SONNET.

God give us men. A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts. true faith and ready
hands.
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office do not buy;
Men who possesses opinion and Will;
Men rho hace honor; men acho wiU not lie,
Men who can stand before demagogue,
And face his treacherous fatteries without
winking;
Tall men, sun crowned who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking
For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn
creeds,
Their large professions and their little deeds,
Wrong rules the land. and wailing Justice
sleeps.

GOOD NIGHT.

Downward sinks the setting sun,
Soft the evening shadows fall:
Light is flying,
Day is dying
Darkness st taaleth over all,
Good night
Autumn garners in her stores
Folsom of the fading year;
Leaves are dying,
Winds are sighing-
Whispering of the Winter near;
-. Good night!
Youth is vanished, manhood wanes;
Age its forward shadow throws;
Day is dying,
Years are flying.
Life runs onward TO its close.
Good night!

Tlse Potato Digging.

The ladies' of Muscatine. already famous
for benevolent enterprise, are lust finishing
one OF the most novel as well rs successful
works yet undertaken by them 1t is the
harvesting of the crop of potatoes raised on a
tract of land donated for the use of the Sol
dier,' Aid Society by Mr. Little, situated
about three miles north of the city. The
ground, as our rea lers We're duly informed,
was planted VI May last by voluntary,
spontaneous and almost Instantaneous gath
ering Of lcyal-heartel men, women and chill
dren. The job Of planting twenty acres was
completed in less than one day. Later in
the season the patch was wecded in the
same manner.
Yesterday was the time set FOR digging the
potatoes Accordingly about 200 persons, of
all agrs and conditions, from the grey haired
sir and ira ron to the scho i boy and school
girl just entering their teens, assembled and
went to work with a will. using plows, har-
rows, hoes and fingers to gather the cscu-
Tents from their native SOIL If our soldier
boys could have looked upon the scene, and
beheld their fathers and mo- herr, brothers
and sisters, wives and sweethearts, engaged
III the laudab:e and laborious work OF pro
viding for III If comfor', their hearts would
have been cheered and thei. resolutions
strengthened N the noble cause in which
they are engaged Although most of these at
work were povices at farm labor, Trey mad,
2 cd prog e>s, and by four O clock two thirds
of the Itch" had been gone ov,r and the
potatoes hau'ed to the city and stored away.
