The Women of Tennessee.

The Women of Tennessee.
BY MRS. NJ. NJ PATTERSON,
THE following lines suggested by reading in
letter from our amy an account Of some West Ten
essee women having escaped 10 lines for protec
tion from imprisonment, and an account of ai'
given to our wounded soldiers.l
An hail them to peaceful homes,
Around our household hearth,
Where freedom lives with open tones,
To wait on won ans worth;
To them how dear the love we give,
Their loyal hearts could tell
Leaving their vine clad bowers to live
From all they've loved so well.
For noble deeds, for justice firm.
For woman's truth 10 save,
Which through their gentle natures shoIe
In mercy 10 the brave;
The rebel hordes ayenging tone,
That bid each strong pulse beat,
As when trumpet note hath blown,
Calling the brave to meet
And 10, those hero. hearted came,
With sweet angelic trust
Whose flu e-like tones the breezes bore
Far as the warriors crest;
And as the eagle stoops perchanee,
To birds of weaker wing,
SO bowed the hero TO the glance
OF her, that fragile thingl
She spake, and DER her peaIly cheek
The crimson current went.
Her unbound tresses dropping meek
And eyes most eloquent.
We come, we come the dear old flag
Above our heads shall wave,
We sparn the lands rebel ray
Acountry or grave!
No breastplate needed TO defend,
Or helm to hide the brow,
Such modest faith could well depend
On hoaot's martial vow;
Thrilling the hero-heart, as when
The winds sweep Ger the wood,
And deep'ning murmurs told of men
Reused to lofty mood
We are thy warriors woman, come
True to our cause and thee,
The spirit of our Union bond
On every sword shall be;
Rest from despair that's in thy tone,
Rest, we will guard thee nigh
In pity's hour your mercies shone,
Well save thee or Wen die.
Imperial honor marked the words,
Our country's pride and fame
And could our love unite our swords
how infinite the gain;
Then womans Tyre would fearless soar
To anthems for the brave,
Telling the tales of glory DER
That liberty did save.

James augustus Emery. Soldier Of the Onion'
died Feb llth, aged II.
When the spring with iower-wreaths laden,
Lightly tripped ore hill and plain,
Crushing links of snowy whiteness,
Fromiold winters icy chain
When the laughing streams unfettered,
Made sweet music all the day,
And the breezes, perfume-laden,
Breathed their merriest roundeldy;
Near woodland Swallowed cottage,
Glinted by the rosy morn,
Stood pale and widowed mother,
Parting from her youngest born.
Wind. kissed sunbeams soft and golden,
Smiled around the loving pair,
Gliding his fair brow, and sprinkling
Gold among her silvered hair.
And the whispering pines sighed softly
And the wild-bird ceased to tell
Its sweet story, when the mother
Babe her bright. proved boy farewell
springtime passed and summer followed,
Dressed in robes of azure light
Autumn, golden browed but mournful,
Gave place, whea. robed in white.
Winter spread its snow wreathed mantle,
Lightly over hill and plain.
Then the mother watched and waited,
For her sons return again.
Little dreamed that doting mother,
Looking from her snow-clad home,
Toward the footpath, where she fondly
Dreamed her darling soon would come,
That auothers form would bear her
Tidings terrible but true,
How her soldier boy cofIined,
Shrouded in his slit of blue.
little dreamed she that his spirit
fingered on the shining strand,
which begirts the fields immortal,
Ola purer better land;
That he waited fer her coming,
Far beyond deaths misty sea,
Where no farewell words are spoken,
Where the soul Uttered free,
Never yeaaning never weary,
Finds a sweet eternal rest,
And the songs of love supernal,
Thrill with JOY the pilgrims breast.
Still upon his features fingered
That sweet smile he used to wear,
When beside his mother kneeling,
He in childhood, breathed his prayer.
And THE mother ore him bending,
Weeping for her noble son,
Murmured, though her heart seemed breaking,
mot my will, bat thine be DONE
lis the sad but oft told story
Give us light, oh God to see
That thy ways are right. and righteous:
Help Us on our bending knee,
To look upwards never faltering,
Waiting till Thy victorys won.
Praying as the widowed mother,
mot my will. but thine be done"

The Shadows of Coming Events

Under the above heading the London
Post of the 10th December introduces the
letter of the London Times New York
correspondent, referring to the collapsed
condition of things in the Southern
country. The Post says:
Every war must come to an end at
least every war that ever been waged,
terminated early or late in apeace. They
had long wars in Greece, but, like the
siege of Troy, each came to an end to the
disadvantage, of course, Of one of the
parties. Roman history is full of the
'feats of broil and BATTLE and the thirty
years war in Germany, and the twenty
years war of the French Revolution, tell
the results in their titles. Happily the
power to destroy in our time tends great
ly to abridge hostilities, and few will be
sorry if the present war in America af.
fords q desirable illustration. Except
those deeply interested in its continu-
ance, its speedy cessation would fill the
world with gladness. When will it cease!
The shadows of coming events are on
Richmond. The Confedarates are sur
rounded by difficulties, and the Southern
people lack faith in ultimate success
This statement is in opposition to all We
have previously heard, but we have i;
now from authentic sources. The facts
are told in Tey to exclude doubt"

minister named Statham died in the pa-I-

that there may Is water and dry land

must be eternal, the sun may easily be
conceived to be by far the most blissful

than ten years after this apparently ex-
trayagant notion was considered proof
of insanity, ii was maintained by Sir
