YOUNG Lote.

Bur who is this that breaks upon me 2
Miss Shepherd, whom / love.
Miss Shepherd is a bOafder at the Mis-
ses NettiugalPs establishment. I adore
Miss Shepherd. She is a little girl, in s
spencer, with a round face, and fairly
aaxsn hrir. The Misses Nettingall's
young ladies come to the cathedral, too.
I cannot look upon my book, for 1 must

royal family. At home in my own room
I am sometimes moved to cry out, fOh,
Miss Shepherd in a transport Of love.

Shepherds feelings, but at length, Fate
being propitiOus, we mset at the dancing
school. I have Miss Shepherd for my
partner. Itouoh Miss Shepherds glove,
and feel thrill go up the right arm Of

they are appropriate to Miss Shepherd.

Irving at the Irving House,


I ARRIVED in town safe, and proceed
ed to the Irving House, where I asked
for room. What party had I with me2
None. Had I not my lady with me?
No; 1 was alone. 1 saw my chance was
a bad one, and I feared to be put in a
dungeon, as I was on a former occasion.
I bethought myself Of your advice, and,
when the book was presented, wrote my
name at full length-from Sunnyside.

General MoOlellan's Report.

GENERAL MCCLEL1AS's report con.
cludes thus:
"I shall not, nor can 1 while living,
forget that when I was ordered to the
command Of troops for the defence Of the
Capital, the soldiers with whom 1 had
shared SO much anxiety, and pains and
suferings of the var, had not lost their
confidence in me as their commander.
They sprang to my call with all their
Yigor, discipline and courage. lied them
into Maryland fifteen days after they had
fallen back before Washington, vanquish-
ed the enemy on the rugged heights Of
South Mountaih, pursued him to the hard
fought fed of Antistan, and drove him,
broken and dispirited, across the Poto-
mac, into Virginia. The army had need
Of rest after this experience of battles
and marches, with scarcely an interval
of repose, which they had gone through,
from the time of leaving for the PENN
sula, the return to Washington, the de-
feat in Virginia, the victory of South
Mountain, and again at Antietam, and it
was not surprising that they were in a
large degree destitute of the absolute ne.
cessities to effective duty. Their shoes
were morn out, blankets lost, clothing in
rags-in short the army was unit for ae-
tiva service, and an interval for rest and
equipment was necessary.
When the slowly forwarded supplies
came to US, 1 had the army across the
river Renovated, refreshed, and in good
order and discipline, I followed the re-
treating foe to a pOsitian where IWas
confident of a decisive victory. When
in the midst of the movement, and while
my advance guard was actually in con-
contact with the enemy, was removed
from command.

I am devoutly grateful to God that my
last campaign with this brave army was
crowned with victory, which saved the
nation from the greatest peril it had ever
undergone I have net accomplished my
purpose if by this report the Army of the
Potomac is not placed high on the roll Of
tho history of armies Of the world. Its
i5ieeds enoble the nation to which it be-
longs. Always ready for battle, always
firm, steadfact and trustworthy. / never
called on it in vain, nor will the nation
ever have cause to attribute its want oi
success, under myself or under other
commanders, to any failure of patriotism
and bravery in that noble body of Am.
erican soldiers.
No man can justly charge upon any
portion of that army, from the Oomman,
ding general to the private, any lack ot
devotion to the service of the United
States Government and to the cause Of
the Constitution and the Union. They
have proved their fealty in much sorrow

III I have served, said my cousin,
seating himself. I think I have, indeed.
I have done my whole duty as we'll as
any man. And have had some droll
adventures. The first I recollect was at
the time of my entrance into the regi-
ment.
I had been willingly enrolled, because
the profession Of arms was rather to my
tss.e. Wholly ignorant of the world, I
imagined that the military estate was the
first of all. I arrived at the regiment
enchanted to have donned the uniform,
and determined to do my best to become
Marshal of France. But before com
manding one must learn to obey; this [
saw was necessary, and promised my
self to become a soldier very model
of discipline; for who does not know
that discipline is the soul of an army
and that it contributes more than num-
bers to the winning of battles.
It had not been a month since I had
belonged to the regiment, and already 1
was the model soldier I had determined
to become.
One morning at drill the first sergeant
calling the roll stopped at my name; he
repeated it. 1 stepped out of the ranks.
Your name is Bonaventure?
1T is, sergeant.
Follow me after roll call
Yes, sergeant
Roll call finished L followed the first
sergeant, supposing that he intended me
for some fatigue duty, and determined
to acquit myself in the best manner-as
was my custom-of whatever they requi-
red Of me. We traversed the whole city
without speaking a word; the sergeant
was proud by nature, the soldiers said
and well knew how to maintain the dis
tance which strip OF gold lace estab'
fishes between the chief and his subordi

We arrived at the gate of the hOspita

TWO SONS.

IHLvE two sons, wife
Two, and yet the samei
Both are only one, wife,
Bearing but one name;
The one is bearded, sunburnt, grim, and fight
across the sea;
The other Is a little child who sits upon you
knee.
Only one is here, wife,
Free from scath and harm;
can hear his voice, wife,
All about the farm;
Ths other is a great 5ng man, wherever h
may bei
But this one, shadOvy and dim, is sitting on you
knee
One is fierce and cold, wife,
With a wayward will;
He has passed through fire, wife,
knowing good and i'll:
He has tried our hearts for many a year-not bro
ken them-fOr he
Is still the stainless little one that sits upon you
knee.
One did wfIful wrong, wife,
Bringing US to shame;
Darkened all the farm, wife;
.a- Bl0tted our good name;
And when our hearts we're big with grief, he sail
cd across the sea;
But stin We keep the little son that sits upol
your knee.
One was rash and dark, wife,
Would have say for say;
Furious when child, wife,
He went his willful way;
His voice in sinful rage was loud within the farm
but he @
Remained the growing little one who sat upoI
your knee.
One may fall in ight, wife
Is he not our son?
Pray with all your heart, wife,
For the Wayward one:
Prsy for the dark, rough soldier, who fights acros
the sea,
Because you love the little one who sat upOl
your knee.
One in sinful fight, wife,
As Ispeak may fall;
But this one at home, wife,
Cannot die at all.
They both are only onei and how thankful "
should be
That we cannot lose the darling son who sit
upon your knee!
