POE TRY.
From Hou sehold Words.
NOW.

Arise, for the day is passing
While you lie dreaming on;
Your brothers ale cased in armor,
And forth TO the fight are gone;
Your place in the ranks awaits you;
Each man has part to play;
The past and the future are nothing
In the face of the stern to-day.
Arise from your dreams of the future
OF gaining hard-iought field,
OF storming the airy fortress,
OF bidding that giant yield -.......
Your life may have deeds of glory,
Of honor; God grant it may
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or needed as now to-day.
Arise If the past detain you,
Her sunshine and storms forget;
No chains so unworthy to bind you
As those of a vain regret;
Sad or brighe, She II iife.ess ever
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back save to learn the lesson,
Ola noble strife to-day.
Arise for the hour is passing;
The sound that you dimly hear,
Is your enemy marching to battle;
Rise rise for the foe is near.
Stay not to brighten your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last,
And from dreams of coming battle
You will wake, and find it passed.

"HuRRAH FOR 5000 DEMOCRATIC
MAJORITY IN WISCONSIN" - Some of
the so-called Democratic papers OF last
week contained articles with the above
caption, clarifying over 5000 democratic
majority in the recent Wisconsin judicial
election, and complaining with virtuous IN
dignation of the manner in which nwes ia
vorable to the democracy is suppressed by
the Geographic agency.
Perhaps they will in their next IS
sues withdraw their complaints, lin
asmuch as there was no news favorable to
their party to communicate, J and state for
the information of their readers by how
many thousand majority the republican
judicial ticket is elected in that state. 1t
is hardly to be expected, however, as that
kind of intelligence Is generally "sup-
pressed" in their papers at least.

Humphrey MARsHALL's DoINGs IN
KENrucKY.-A letter from AbDah Gil
bert, a farmer in jackson County, south
eastern Kentucky, gives an account OF
some of the recent work of Humphrey
Marshall and his guerr.llas in that re-
gion:
"On Tuesday, the 7th of this month,
Humphrey Marshall's men, with the guer-
rila band from Breathitt county, COM
menced coming into our county by Proc
tor. taking horses, cattle, and everything
they could get hold of; came cut to Boone
vile, burned the Jail, destroyed the records
in the clerks office, cut the books up and
scattered them through the streets; came
on to my house, took every horse and
mule | had, numbering thirteen, headed
by Jack May, Jerry South's son, William
| p. Lacv, James Hurd and Robert Allen.
They got after my two Oldest sons, up the
branch from my house, and shot most OF
their ammunition at them. Lacy then
| charged upon my oldest son with his mus
ket 10 hand, cursng him -swore he would
hang him. Ny son drew his pistol, shot
Lacy through the arm into his canteen
Lacy threw up his hand and hallooed out
don't My son fired again, took Lacy
under the ear, and dropped him off his
horse, dead. The boys then broke, the
musket balls cutting all round them, ran
down steep cliff that their horses could
not charge down, and made their escape
into the woods. The rebels then SET hire
to my houses, burned everything l had,
leaving my wife and children with nothing
but the clothes they had on. My wife got
down on her knees to them and offered
them one thousand dollars in cash not to
burn her houses. They would no hear to
her. She then tried to get her things out
of the house. They kept her Oft with
their muskets. Some few things, howev-
er, which she did get out, were taken from
her by the rebels, consisting principally
of 33 bed blankets. The balance all
went to the flames. | was in jackson
county at the time and am here still. My
wife is in school house, below where my
house stood, with my three youngest chill
dren (my two boys being hid out in the
mountains), with nothing to eat, wear or

furnish her"
