"Here | am, sister-here am! do no.

USEFUL INFORMATION. The women

washing powder, instead of soda, in the
proportion Of large handful of borsx
powder to about ten gallons Of boiling
wafer; they save in soap nearly half
All The large washing establishments
adopt The same mode For laces, cam
bfics, &c An extra quantity Of powder
Is used, and for crinolines (required to
be made very stiff. J a strong solution is
necessary Borax being a neutral salt,
does not 10 the slightest degree injure the
texture Of the linen; its effect is to soften

they still belong to me as to them AS they

they rejoice in anticipation of our reunion.
What to me is still dark, they see clearly.
Why do grieve because I cannot longer en-

TIE story or q Day.

A rodier sept - the morning uproried
Der the white tenu pitched on the pleasant plain
The bayQnee' CLEAN was the 9 cam Of gold,
Where the sunlight poured on The height and the void
And the fields Of yellow grain.
Then the soldier arose, when his rest done,
And he merrily sang In his joyous glee
He sharpensd his svord and he briehtened his gun,
And he smiled, a. he thought OF the lsurels won,
That yet on his brov would be.
The oouriers rode when the noontide came,
And told Of grim lines advancing fast!
70 the camp vas filled with q Wild acclaim,
And the soldiers heart vW kindled with hame,
A. the hurryins squadron passed.
But the glen full soon was the place Of blood,
With the kissing Of shot and the olans Of steel:
And men lay dAbbled and stnined in the wood.
Tho the soldiers comrades in valor stood,
Till they made the foemon reel.
when the nleh, came down the oorses we're .tfsvn,
. And the soft dews fell on the face Of the dead;
But the soldiers song had chsneed TO . moan,
As, faint and pale, where the sad moon shone,
He lay with bis bleeding head.
'Jis morning again on the tents and the spears,
but the soldiers voice Is forever still
There's a form that's missod from the cavaliers,
There's sweet face blurred with bitter tears
There's q namees grave on the hill

Hili whom they found in bed The Governor
was ordered to prepare for travelling at once,
and expressed some surprise at the call, saying
that nthe Secretary Of War had written him he

dency of such individuals as Letcher to 60 the
other way, when wanted by the United States
authorities, and placing his prisoner in the
ambulance returned with him to Winchester,
from whence he brought him in the cars to this

The prisoners are placed each day In the
