LONGING FOR HOME.
BY JEAN INGELoW.

A song of a boat:
 There was once boat on Q pillow; Lightly she rocked 10 her port remote, And the foam was white in her wake like sno v And her frail mast bowed when the wind would blow, ! And bent like wand of willow. shaded my eyes one day, when boat
 Went courtseying ovsr the pillow 1 marked her course till dancing mote She faded out on the moonlit foam, And l stayed behind in the dear, loved home And my thoughts all day were about the boat,
 And my dream-upon pillow. l pray you, hear my song of boat.
 For it's but short My boat, you shall none fairer ahoat
 In river or port. Long looked out for the lad she bore On the open, desolate sea And think he sailed for the heavenly shore, For he came net back to me !
 An me A song ofa nest
 There was once nest in hollow; Down in the mosses and knot grass pressed, Soft, and warm, and full to the brim, Fetches leaned over it. purple and dim, With butter-cup buds to follow pray you, hear my song of a nest, For it is not long; You shall never light in summer quest The bushes among Shall never light on a proud CT sitter, falrer nestfu, nor ever know A softer sound than their tender twitter, That windlike did como and go had nestful once ofmy own
 Ah happy, happy I, Right dearly loved them but when they
 were grown
 They spread out their wings to fly. Oh, one after another they flew away, Far up to the heavenly blue, To the better country, to the upper day, And-l wish l were going too 1 pray you, what is the nest to mo- My empty nest /? And what is the shore, whore stood to see My boat sail down to the west Can'l call that home where I anchor yet, Though my good man has sailed Can call that home where my nest was set, Now all it's hopes have failed :? Nay /; but the port where my sailor went, And the land where my nestlngs be- There is the home where my thoughts are sent The only home for me

Through each heel, between the tendons and the bone, there was large hole, and both were full of maggots, which had eaten their way down un- der the bones of his feet there was also an other wound in the aeshy part of his left thigh where the ball carried away half a pound of flesh and muscle; this was also full of mag gots. Turpentine was used by the surgeon to get rid of the maggots, yet the brave little fel low bore the intense pain like martyr, and when asked if be did not suffer, said Yes Suffer very much, but am willing to be torn piecemeal, joint by joint, while living, for my country and liberty

 He was born at Sandusky, Ohio, in Novem ber 1928, and was, consequently in the 36tl year of his age, at the time of his death He graduated at West Point in 1853, at the head of his class. and for year afterwards acted as military instructor in that institution. Sub sequently h. gas engaged on the defenses of New ork harbor, improvements in the Hud son river, construction of Fort Delaware, the Notifications in San Francisco Bay and Bos- ton harbor. In November, 1861, he was ap- pointed ald-de camp to General Halleck, and was chief engineer in the assaults upon Forts Henry and Donelson. h May, 1892 he re. ceived the rank of Colonel and participated in tue operations in the vicinity of Corinth. i The same month he was nominated Brigader General and appointed General superintend- ent of military railroads in the district of West Tennessee in the June following. In October he was promoted to be Major General of Vol ,unteers for nleritorious in the West He dis tinguishod himself by reaching Iuka in time to relieve its garrison and participate in that comparatively small but important victory. In the spring he joined General Grant, and with him descended the Mississippi, in front of Eicksburg and crossed that river to Fort Gb- son.
 He was invariably in the advance His corps, according to General Grants statement. was the principal body of troops engaged in the succession of battles and victories which preceded the actual seize of Vicksburg. He led the assault upon that stronghold, which proved the impossibiiit1 1f taking it otherwise than by boleagueliuett a 8 letter to Gen eral McPhcfson, General G.:.et, in words more decided and eulogistic than usual with him, thanked him for his efficient co operation, which he deemed next in importance to that rendered by General Sherman.
 On the promotion of tie latter to the com mand of the Mississippi Army, General Nc Pherson was made commander of the Army and Department Of Tennessee. Since the sp!endid campaign by Sherman has been in progress, to McPherson was assigned the ey-- ecution of many Of the lank;ng operations which hare thus iar terminated so successful Iy in tie sei2e of .Ata'a2ta. He took part in lhe battles of Resaca, Dallas, AIatoona, Eto- woh River, Big shanty, and keDcsaw. His last and iDost brilliant movement on Decatur, c"t of the rebel lines with Atlanta and forced ti.atn t9 retreat tc that city His skill and courage and executive ability never failed, and tie campaign in Georgia crowns tie glc-- rious work that will evor make his name hon of'd among his countrymen and beloved by the soldiers Of the Union.
 General McPherson, personally, was very attractive. He was tall well proportioned with dark hazol eyes, brown hair, and light complexion.

THE QUAKER AND THE LAwYER.-' Friend Broadbrim, said Zephaniah Straitlace to his master, a rich Quaker, thou canst not eat of that leg of mutton at thy noontide meal to. day.
 Wherefore not asked the good Quaker.
 Because the dog that appertaineth to that son of. Belal whom the world calls Lawyer Foxcroft, has come into thy pantry and stolen it yea. and he hath eaten it.
 Beware, friend zephaniah, of bearing false witness against thy neighbor. Art thou sure it was friend Foxcrafts domestic animal 2
 Yea, verify, saw it with my eyes, and it was Lawyer Foxcraft's dog-eyen Pinchem. Upon what evil times have we fallen r sighed the harmless Quaker, as he wended his way to his neighbours office. Friend Fox craft, said he; want to ask thy opinisn.'
 T am all attention, replied the scribe, lay. ing down his pen.' 'Supposing Friend Foxcraft, that my dog has gone into my neighbours pantry and stolen therefrom leg of mutton, and see him, and could call him by name, what ought to do r
 Pay for the mutton--nothing can be clear err
 Know, then, Friend Foxcraft, thy sog, even the beast denominated Pinchem. hath stolen from pantry a leg of mutton, of the just value of four shillings and sixpence, which paid for it in the ma market this morning, 70, we'll, then it is my opinion that must pay for it.
 And having done so, the worthy Friend turned to depart.
 Tarry yet awhile, Friend Broadbrm, cried the lawyer. Of a verify have4set further te say unto thee. Thou owest me niae shillinRs for advice''
 Then, verify, l must pay thee and it is my opinion that I have touched pitch and been deflled.'
