A PARODY.
HlHfs .Ig III - WLg t-f.EE .l
Not loaf had he got, nor a crumb OF hard bread,
As our course to his quarters we hurried;
Not a soldier discharged rock at his head,
But we felt confoundedly aurricd, $E
We went to him openly, in broad daylight,
For his bacon we were wishrully yearning;
And by the dazzling sunbcams, shining bright,
We saw that our luck was suddenly turning.
No useless excuse sufiused his face
Nor mid boxes and barrels we found him
But he stood like lawyer pleading his case,
With martial suite around him
Few and short were the graces we said,
When he told us he'd try food to borrow
And he steadfastly gazed on the faces not fed,
While we bitterly thought of the morrow.
We thought as we eyed him from his feet to his
head,
He deserved browsing with birch or awilow !
Somebody observed, His nose is quite red
Maybe he's had jug for a pillow
Lightly well talk of this Q. NJ. when he's gone,
And DER his declarations upbraid him;
But little he'll reck if they let him go on,
When he knows that our Uncle has paid him.
But half of our little squad had gone,
When our hero made signs of retiring; .-
And we thought, in return for the things he'd not
done,
With little more zeal to inspire him.
Slowly and surely we took him down,
With a pain in his upper story
We carved not a line, we broke not bone,
But left him alone without glory.

WAR SONG.
BY REV. JOHN KYLE.

When traitors, with their ruflian band,
Rise to rend our happy land,
And trail our banner in the sand,
Shall we lie down like slaves?
Rouse you at'our country's call;
Rouse you, treemen, one and ali
Rouse you, lest our nation fall
To fill the nations grave.
Freedoms temple, reared SO high
BY blood of men who dared 10 die
Tvrants now would see it lie ...
In ruined fragments low.
Ye whose sires for Freedom blcd,
Sons whose fathers Jackson led,
For the memory of the dead,
Arise and face the foe. ....
Make those tyrants look in vain,
Let our banner bear no stain,
Make the noble love our name
Well be forever free.
Make the world respect our cause,
Make the traitors own our laws;
Plant our banner where it was,
Or die for Liberty.

A Poison RINc,--The following story is

A Poison RING.--The following story is
going the rounds of the French papers:
A gentleman who had two days ago pur-
chased some objects of art at shop in tho
Rue Honore, was engaged in examining an
ancient ring, when he gave himself a scratch
in the hand with a sharp part of it. He
continued talking with the dealer for a short
time, when he suddenly felt an indescriba-
BILE sensation over his whole body, which
appeared to paralyze all his faculties, and he
soon became 80 seriously ill that it was con-
sidered necessary to send for medical
man. The Doctor Immediately discovered
every symptom of poison by some mineral
substance. He applied some strong antidote
and in short time the gentleman was in a
manner recovered. The ring in question
having been examined by the medical man,
who had long resided in Venice, was discov-
cred to be what was formerly called death
ring" in use in Italy when acts of poisoning
were frequent about the seventeenth cen
tury. Attached to it's inside were two
claws of lion, made of the sharpest steel
and having clefts in them filled with viru-
lent poison. In crowded assembly, or in a
hail. the wearcr of the fatal ring, wishing TO
exercise revenge on person, would take
their hands, and when pressing it the sharp
claw would be sure to inhict slight scratch
on the skin. This was enough, for on the
following morning the victim would be sure
to be found dead. Notwithstanding the
many years since which the poison on
the ring had been placed there, it retained
its strength sufficiently to cause great in.

to declaration of war. Itshould be borne
in mind that the Emperor of China ia said
to have ordered number Of improved ves-

TUE REBEL Losses. The South has
suffered terribly for its wicked rebellion,
and the end is not yet. Richmond cor
respondent of the Savannah Republican
gives the following as what he believes to
have been the losses of the Contcderates
in the battles named:
Our loss in killed and wounded at Fort
Donelson may be roughly estimated at $500;
at Roanoke and on the North Carolina coast.
COO at Elkhorn, $500 at Shiloh, 10000; at
Williamsburg, Seven Pines, and before
Richmond, 10000; in the Valley of the She
nandoah, 5000; at Cedar Run, 10000; at
the second battlo of Manassas, 5000 at
Booroton and Champion Gaps, 1000; at
Per-yville, 5000, and 5000 for those who
have iallcu at outposts, in skirmishes, etc.
These figures added together, make the ell
ormous sum of 10000 OF this uumbor it
would be safe to say that one-third, or
10000, are now i'll their graves, having
either been killed outright, or died of their
wounds. Quite as many-probably more
have died from sickness, To this should
be added $4,000 more for those who have
been manned and whose health has been
ruined for life. Thus our losses in ten
IhOhthS VI hIle present. year may NC eStllna-
ted at 5000 mon, who have either perished
or have been disabled. If the whole truth
were known they would probably reach
100000 by the end of the year, for the
deaths from diseases in the hospitals, in
camp and at homo generally exceed those
in battle. For every year the war contin-
ues we must expect our casualties to be
quite as great as they have been the pres
ent year

AN ELoPEMRNT IN BALTIMORE. Something
80 good transpired here the other day, that
can't help telling you, though the names
are high-wrought and fictitious the facts
are up::!oyed. Mrs. Brown husband liv-
ing) fell in love with Mr.. Jones, but could
not enjoy his company, because Mr.. Brown
was too much at home Therefore Mrs. b.
was induced, without much coaxing, to eope
with the lover Jones. All was arranged to
leave on the early train last Friday. The
husband got wind of the affair, went down
to the depot on the morning designated, and
unobservedly located the two, then went
down the track few rods, and waited for
the train to pass
As it came along, (she had the window
open--women always have windows open
when they should be closed,) Mr.. Brown
took off his hat and waved his handkerchief,
while yelling at the top Of his voice. Good
Good I'm glad you're going-hurrah for
me--good riddance," &c. Mrs. Brown first
looked amazed, then sneered, then made
very ugly faces, then shook her fist and head
at Mr.. Brown-then outsiders lost their
view, and insiders relate that when Mr..
Brown was no longer visible to the faith
less wife, she turned fiereely upon her Sc
ducer, and almost pounded the face off him.
He was glad to get into the smoking-car.
At the first station Mrs. Brown got off and
walked back to Baltimore, repentant if
not g better woman.
.Sequel.-The Browns are living together
again.

FLORENCE SEFTON.
4 Tale of Border Warfare in 1912.
BY MISS h. GARTLAND.

There was no time to lose, the English
were close at hand and Howell, vaulting
into the saddle set spurs to the noble steed
and he flew like the wind. Several pieces
were fired after him, aad ball entered the
feshy part of his arm causing painful.
though not dangerous wound. He kept
his horse at full gallop for several miles,
when finding he was not pursued, he dis
mounted and bound up his wounded arm
with his handkerchief, as it had bled pretty
freely. On casting his eye back to the fort
he saw Il white flag waving from its walls.
THE old cowardly traitor ~ said he to
himself sit is shameful Z" He now trav-
eled more slowly. AS he was obliged, for
his greater security, to avoid observation,
he took the most unfrequented roads, 60
ing south towards Ohio. He rode all day
and at nightfalI, stopped at a comfortable
farmhouse. He was much latigued but
the people were very kind, dressed his
wound as well as they could, and sent one
Of their own boys for surgeon, who lived
at short distance, who extracted the ball
which gave him much relief. Howell soon
found they were true Americans. There
vas no man ON the place but the old grand
father and his three grandsons, of the ages
of sixteen, fourteen, and twelve his son,
their father, was at Fort Detroit and, when
they heard Howell's tale, both the old man
and his sons wife expressed much grief
and anger. After a good supper, Howell
retired to a nice bed, and slept soundly
Notwithstanding his wound and the excl
ting events of the day He was greatly
surprised, OH descending from his chamber
in the morning, to see Gotlieb Pretz busily
engaged in constructing a squirrel-trap for
the youngest boy. To Captain Meredith's
question as to show he had escaped ?" he
gave long account, which we may per-
haps relate at future time; at present
the reader must excuse us. We will merely
say that he did escape, or he would not
have been there. To Howell's question of
chow he had traced him so accurately p he
replied
"Why, capt'in you don't s'pose lived so
long in old Kentuc', and larnt nothin'?

After breakfast, when they were about

had no horse, and lie was much pleased
when the old farmer consented to dispose
of one, not very swift, but still tolera-
bly, good animal. They still kept south

being to enter Ohio, keeping as closely as
consisted with safety along the southern

it safe to take boat for Buffalo, from
whence he could soon arrive at Lewistown.

How CTNCiNNArIANs FEED SoLDIERs.--A
soldier of one of the Massachusetts regi-
ments which lately passed through Cincin-

fed in that hosptable town:
At the market there were tables set, and
such tables, and such victuaIs, and such
pretty women Oh! my mouth waters yet.
We went in. There was pretty woman
near me with coffee prettier one with
ham, and still handsomer one with eggs
in fact, there was nothing hut pretty women
and good victuas | ate until | thought
I'd burst, but woman filled my plate and
bowl telling me not to be bashiul and
ate. | did 50 three times. The fourth time
asked her if she thought she was Chris
tian. She wanted to know why. | told
her the Bible said "Thou shalt not kill y and
if she made me eat any more she would
violate that command. She took my hav-
ersacE and brought it back full of good
things. 1t was never so full before but
she would not let me off SO. She did a
boiled ham up i'll a paper, and q loaf of bread
in another ; then few things to put in my
pockets. The few things in my trowsers
pockets were three apples, two boiled eggs,
two picked cucumbcrs, paper with butter
in it; in my coat pockets were large
piece-of cheese, two pieces of pie, piece
of cake, one picked tomato and one onion!
All the rest Jared the same.
