I" Eo.. I Fay VIC Down 10 sleeps

In the quiet nursery chambers,
Snowy pillows yet Impressed,
See the forms Of little children
kneelinG, hte-robet for their rest.
All in quiet nursery chambers,
While the dusky shadows crccp,
Hear the voices of the children:
Now lay me down TO sleep"
On the meadow and the risuatain
Calmly shine the winter stars;
But across the glistenins lowlands
Slant the motnligh.'s silver bars.
In the silence and the darkness
Darkness growing still more deep,
Listen to the little children
Praying God their souls to keep.
If we die, $50 pray the children,-
And the mothers head drorps low -
Zone from out her fold is sleeping
Deep beneath the winters snowy
" Take our souls, and past the easement
Fits a CLEAN of crystal light,
Like the trailing Of his garments,
Walking erermore in white.
Little souls that stand eNpec.ant
Listening at the gates OF life,
Hearing Tar away the murnur
Of the tumult and the strife;
We who fought beneath these banners
Meeting ranks Of foemen there,
find deeper, broader meaning,
lu your simple vesper prayer.
When your hands shah grasp ti.is standard
Nhi'h to-day you watch fron far
When your deeds shall shape the conflict
In this universal war,
Pray to Him, the God of battles,
Whose strong eye can never sleep,
In the warning of temptation
Firm and true your souls to keep.
When the combat ends, and slowly
Clears the smoke from out the Skies
When, far down the purpiinE distance,
All the noise Of battle dies
When the last nights solemn shadows
Settle down on you and me,
May that love that never fiileth,
Take our souls etcrnally.

How General Grant First Entered tho

How General Grant First Entered the
Service for the Present War.
From the New York Herald, May i5th.l
Never was the qu tation "Man proposes
but God disposes," more strikingly exempli
fled than in th. following anecdote of Gen.
Grant: At the commencement of the rebel
lion an Illinois Representative called upon
Governor Yates TO recommend to him Mr..
Grant as fiji person for some military posi-
ton. The Governor had received applica.
tons from some men over six feet in height,
and OF muscular frames, and, therefore, Gu
riously eyed the small man, attircd in home
spun, that stood before him as an applicant
lie then asked his grounds for making the
Application. was educated at West
Point" said Grant, "at the country's eX.
pcnse. served in Mexico, and when went
out to Oregon thought | had returned to
the country an equivalent for my education;
so resigned. The country is now in trouble
and wish to serve her in need" Governor
Yates had no appointment for him, and he.
therefore left. Some short time after this
occurrence the Governor was very much dis
tressed in regard to .he raising of the quota
of the State. lie had plenty of offers for
officers positions, but he personally did not
know the minutiac of rcgimcntal organiza-
tlons-how many privates composed com.
panv or how many subordinate officers there
should be in regiment. In his distress he
asked the Representative if that plain little
man to whom he had been introduced knew
anything of fthcse matters. The Representa-
tive replied by bringing Grant into the Gov
ernor's presence. " DO you understand the
organization Of troops ?" inquired the Cover
nor: The reply was in the Affirmative
" VIII you acccpta desk in my Office for that
purpose?' was the next question. "Any
thing to serve my country" was Grants re
ply. And to work he at once went. And
but for this, Grant might still be unknown
to the world. BY his energy Illinois became
noted for the speed with which she filled her
quota.
HOW GRANT BECAME COLONEL AND FOUND his
OWN TRANSPORTATION.
When the Twenty first Illinois Volunteers
was organized fine looking man was chosen
by the company officers as the Colonel, but
having no military capacity the regiment fell
into disorder, aud became the terror of the
ncighborhood where it was encampcd. The
Governor refused to commission the Eominee
Of the regiment, and asked Grant if he
thoubhI He couia OIi!B the turbulent mess 10
order, if he were appointed the Colonel
Grant thought he could. Half an hour after
wards an application was made TO Governor
Yates to send the regiment to Quincy-onc
hundred and twenty miles distant; but the
trouble of the Governor was, not the want
Of men, but the lack Of transportation
" Send my regiment" said Grant, "and
will find the transportation" The command
was given, and before night the regiment
was under orders to march. On foot the
regiment was transported to Quincy, and
when the men were there encamped they
were reported as belonging to one of the
best disciplined regiments Of Illinois volun.

MAsoSRy.-Masonry is older than letters.
Brands Encyclopedia Of Science, literature
and Art, says: THAT from Egypt were de-
rived the principal mysteries. and that it was
in darkness Of subterranean apartments that
those limitations had birth, in which secrecy
was the first law. According to plntarch,
the Sphynxcs, with which the entrances Of
their temples were decorated, signifed that
Egyptian mythology was mysterious and cln-
bcmatic. In these temples the line and
square were never abandoned, they had no
circular monument, nnd their temples were
covered with symbolic characters" Thus

PRINTERS BLuNDERs.--In an article under
the above caption the Cairo correspondent of
the Chicago Journal shows how some of his
manuscript had been horribly murdered by
the typos, and to show how slight thing
will ruin the sense OF an article gives the
following illustrations
While we are on the subject, we will
state that the most fearfully bad sense is rem
dered sometimes just by placing the comma
in the wrong place. The following example
We copy from the Philadelphia Ledger's ad.
vertisDg columns: ....
wASTED.four able -bode married men 10 work npon
farm one steady blacksmith, three stout boys milk
six young girls.
Now, the above is made most ridiculous,
indeed, oy the omission of the comma after
the word milk.
Here is one more OF the same sort from
the advertising columns Of the New York
UerdA:
WaSrEp TO purchase gentle sorrel colt, suitable
for young lady with 4 long tail.
The above, the reader will plainly see. is
made distressingly awkward by the omission
OF the simple comma after the word lady.
No one can blame the rebels greatly for
wreaking vengeance on the black troops
Placed in their situation we all would do
likewise, and in addition, consider the white
officers i'll command but the equal Of The ne
grocs, and serve them the same. The quicker
the negroes, and the white mcn. who have no
more self.respcct than to accept commissions
in ngger regiments, are killed off, the better
it will be for all parties"
The above paragraph is from the pen Of
" Brick Pomeroy," editor of the La Crosse
Democrat. If it were not that wc are op-
posed to "moh law" and to disgracng the
gallows, we would urge the survivors Of that
horrible massacre at Fort Pillow, to take and
hang Pomeroy, until he is dead and damned.
He Is not fit to live; and if dead, mother

Professor Huxley, an eminent English
anatomist and psychologist, who has recently
been lecturing, among other things, on the
anatomy and structure Of the negro, while he
refutes some Of the opinions hitherto enter
tained on that subject, nevertheless says the
idea of misoegenation is a proposition 80
hopelessly absurd to be unworthy of serious
discussion" HI also maintains that inter
marriages between the white and black races
would on the part Of the whites be a culpable
consent to the deterioration oe the species.
