But I was too much occupied in staring al
John to mind her. He was quite pale, and
seemed trembling from head to foot.
'She might have been killed." he said tx
me, in reproachful manner. f.a.

tie figure was running down the lane.
''Ihink of her mother" he said, 'and be

if aanything happened to Miss Gwynne."
He mounted and turned back, leaving me

Nothing was said more about it ;but that
evening, as we all sat by the fire Mrs. Thor

at chess with her, called out suddenly:
"What is the matter John ?-your wrist

John gave such start that the table fell

circle drew the attention from what she had

HOME.

Birth conseerates and death sanctifes a home"
Cecil Drsme.
l SHALL bid adieu tomorrow morn,
To the dear old home where was born,
And my eyes to- night are filed with tears,
Asmy heart goes back through the long lonl
years,
And fondy fingers to live Ger again,
All their scenes of gladness, and hours of pain
Back, back to the merry and happy time,
When all was sweet music and perfect rhyme,
When my life barque was gay floating out
In the unknown world with its wild, wild shout,
When the sky was fair and the waters clear,
And had no dream of the breakers near.
my home such sweet thoughts are linked to thee
That thou seem'st a part ofmy heart to be
And the thought is hard the struggle severe,
To sever my soul from thing SO dear.
Dear home, thou hast sheltered my weary head,
WhenI thought lay my dying bed,
And felt it would be boon of love,
Let down by the Fathers hand from above;
That my soul might pass from its home on earth
From the dear, dear spot where had my birth
Bnt the burdens of life came back again,
And my heart tonight is weary with pain,
For tomorrow morn 1 must bid farwe
To the home that is dearer than words can tell.
There's another tie, the strongest of all,
That aoiU hold my heart with an iron thrall;
1t was here that fathers feet once trod
From here, his freed spirit went home to God,
And no other spot can sacred be-
For here my father seems nearest to me.
But why should the soul with such yearnings cling
To cold unthinking unfeeing thing;
cannot tell, but know it is dear,
And where'er go my heart will be here,
And pray of the Father oflove on high,
That in the dear old home, may die.

WALKING an aRaf,

4 NJ .s
MAGE Sioper Esq in the KntekerbockeT,
tells the following story -.
There was fellow once stepped out of the
| door OF a tavern on the Mississippi
meaning to walk mile up the shore to the
next tavern. Just at the landing there lay,
a big raft--one of the regular old-fashioned
whalers-a raft a mile long. r. f.ot ~ ~ b
Well, the fello heard the landlord say the
raft was mile long, and he said unto HIM
self, 81 will go forth and see this great Won
der, and let mine eyes behold the timber
which the hand of man hath hewn," So he
got on at the lower end, aud began to ambu-
late over the wood in pretty fair time. But
just as he walked up the river, it walked
down. both travelling at about the same
rate. When he got to the end of the sticks,
he found they were pretty near shore, and
In sight of a tavern; SO he landed and
walked strait into the bar-room he had come
out Of The general sameness of things
took him little aback, but he looked the
landlord strait in the face and settled it in
his own way: m srae 5sr.,,tg.. a..., ~.
Publican, said he, "are you gifted with
any twin brother, who keeps similar sized
tavern, with duplicate wife, COMFORTING
wood-pile, and corresponding circus bills,
mile off from here?" e4-rd frt l....
The tavern keeper was fond of fun, and
accordingly said it was just 30.
"And, Publican, have you among your
dry goods, for the entertainment Of man
and horse, any whiskey of the same size as
that of your brother's?' -a-r
And the tavern man said that from the
rising of the sun, even to the going down of
the same, he had.
They took drinks, when the stranger
said:
publican, that are twin brother of yours
is mighty fine mana very fine man
| indeed. But, do you know, Pm Altered he
suffers good deal with Chicago diptheria"
''And what is that2" asked the toddyr
sticker.
at is when the truth settles SO firm in a
man that none of it ever comes out Com
mon doctors, of the catnip sort. called it
lynn. When left your brothers confec-
tionery there was raft at his door which he
swore his life was mile long. Well Pub.
lican, walked that raft from bill to tail,
from his door to yourn. Now know leg
time, an I'm just as good for myself as for
boss, and better for that than any man
you ever did see. l always walk in exactly
twenty minutes on a good road, and I'll be
busted with an overloaded Injun gun if I've
been morn ten minutes coming here, step
Plug oyer the blamed logs at that"

"Major General Commanding.

A private letter from an eminent officer OF
the Unite States engineers, well known az
a military writer, dated Washington, May
18th, to friend in this city, contains the
following observations which, being of great
public interest, the recipient takes the liber-
ty of laying before the public, though well
satisfied they were not written with any view
10 such use being made of them:
Nothing can be more absurd than the al
legations In certain Of your New York pa.
pers, to the effect that Ehe recent battles
south of the Rapidan have thus far furnished
a mere exhibition of brute force on the
part of General Grant. When the actual
figures of the contest come to be known, it
will be seen how preposterous are these sug-
gestions. The enemy being on the offensive
we have had, of course, to certain extent,
to accept battle upon ground of his own Sc
lection, and our troops have occasionally
been called upon to advance at great cost
Though a country heavily timdered and
against lines of earthworks and rifie-pits con-
Meeting dense woods and other natural OBJ
structions. Bot to the superb mannuvres
and combinations by which the various posi-
tons Of the enemy have been successfully
turned, too high praise cannot be accorded.
Nearly all the reports of our losses that l
have seen are exaggerations, the best inform
ed estimates at this point not placing our
killed, wounded and missing at over thirty
five thousand, of whom probably, about four
thousand are prisoners, and sop}e four
or five thousand stragglers, skulkers or de-
serters. Far from there having been any
useless sacrifice of life on our part, it will
be found that the quickest and toughest
work always costs the least blood in the long
run, except where regular Notifications have
to be assaied and am convinced, from
all we have thus far heard, that the Army
of the Potomac will be found to have been
handled during the past ten days with tena-
city Of purpose and mastery Of the science
and art of war which will hereafter challenge
the admiration of every competent soldier
| in orr own and European armies"

WooI.-From tho Detroit Free Press we
see that wool along the line of the Michigan
! Central Railroad was i'll great demand, sell
ing rapidly for SO TO 70 cents, with q decided
upward tendency. At some points 70 to rs
cents is offered Near 100, 900 pounds have
been sold at these fgures.--At tho same
time wool was selling in Boston at 81 cents.
This we consider news for the wool grower.
Almost every farmer should keep few sheep
any how, for he can either sell it or work il
up himself according as the price runs.
Sheep raising is profitable under any cir
cumstances, either for wool or mutton for
the latter is worth as much as beef in our
market at this time. .aaa 5gQaa ~.

ISHLPATRTCYS,s RAID.

The special dispatches which we received yes
terday afternoon, show that whether fitzpatrick
reached Richmond or not, he has already done a
great deal OF damage in the enemy's country.
We regard the announcement Of his safe arrival
at Louisa Court-Houso as sure proof that he had
opened a road for himself to Richmond.
Whether he has found the Rebel Capital too
strongly defended to be attacked by mounted
force, We shall probably know to-day. 1t is
dismally suggested that Longstreet's force, or
some part of it, has just arrived at the capitals
and, course, their presence will keep Fitzpatrick
out The authority for tho statement is not
given.
The war in the East has witnessed no holder
dash than this. The only effort to be compared
with it is the cavalry expedition organized
under Gen. Hooker, and led by Gen. Stoneman
in the Charlottesville campaign. That came
to nought from over caution and want of enter
prise in Gen. Stonoman, though portion Of the
force under Fitzpatrick did good work. 1t has
been commonly supposed the whole expedition
was a success but it was not in any sense, or
to any extent. Stoneman had orders TO cut
Lees communications with Richmond, espec-
ally by destroying the bridges on the Frede-
ricksburg Railroad, and otherwise damaging it,
but the injury actually done was so slight that
there was no one day on which trains did not
run, carrying troops to Lee.
The present expedition was well organized,
and, so far as we know, has been well led. The
force under Gen. Custar, Of whose performances
