THE CANTEEN,
BIZ PRIVATE MILES o'RErLLY.
THERE are bonds of all sorts in this world OF

THERE are bonds of all sorts in this world Of
ours,
Fetters of friendship and ties of flowers,
And true lovers knots, ween
The girl and the boy are bound by kiss.
But there's never bond, old friend, like this
We have drank from the same eanteen!
Tt was sometimes water and sometimes milk,
And sometimes applejack, fine as silk,
But whatever the tipple has been,
We shared it together, in bane or bliss,
And warm TO you, friend, when think ofthis--
We have drank from the same canteen!
The rich and the great sit down to dine
And they quaff to each other in sparkling wine,
From glasses Of crystal and green:
But guess in their golden pOtations they miss
The warmth ofregard to be found in this
We have drank from the same cauteen!
We have shared our blankets and tent together,
And have marched and fought in all kinds Of
weather,
And hungry and full We have beeni
Had days of battle and days ofrest,
But this memory cling to and love the best
We have drank from the same canteen
For when wounded I lay on the outer slope,
With my blood flowing fast, and but little hope,
Upon which my faint spirit could lean;
o, then, I remember, you erawled to my side,
And bleeding 50 fast it seemed both must have
died
We drank from the same canteen.

Sweetness. A lady decIaredit angelic. 4"
It was certainly the most friendly imagin-
able, and charmed all who conversed
with him. Even hispeeuliarities became
sources Of popularity, and endeared him
to his troops. It was said of TuwarroW
that his men mimiced him, gave him
nicknames, and adored him. It was the
same with jackson. His men laughed
at his dingy old uniform, his cap tilting
forward on his uose, his aWkwardstrides,
his abstracted air, and christening him
" Old Jack" made him their first and
greatest of fa7orites. There was one pc
culiarity of the Individual, however,
which they regarded with something like
superstition.
We refer to the singular position he
had of raising his hand alOft then sud
denly letting his arm fall at his side. On
many occasions he made this strange
gesture as his veterans moved slowly be-
fore him, advancing to the charge. At
such moments, his face would be raised
to heaven, his eyes closed, and his lips
would move evidently in prayer. The
same gestu1e was observed in him at
Charlottesville, while gazing at the
body of one of his old command. He
was plainly praying, with his hand up
lifted, for the welfare of the dead mans

Wendell Phillips on Yankees.

AT the annual festival Of school children
in Boston, Mr.. Phillips delivered a character
site address, from which we extract the fol-
lowing: .a.
The great ability of New England has been
proved. Now boys, the glory Of father is
his children. That father has done his work
well who has left his child better than him
self. The German phrase is. Lord grant I

others, with generous willingness to be and
to do towards others as we would have others
do toward us.

On, be not the first to discovery
A blot on the fame of friend,
A flaw in the faith of lover;
Whose heart may prove true to the end
We none Of US know one another,
And oft into error we fall;
Then let US speak well of our brother,
Or speak not about him at all.
A smile or sigh may awaken
Suspicion most false and undue;
And thus our belief may be shaken
In hearts that are honest and true.
How often the light smile Of gladness
Is worn by the friends that We meet,
i To cover a soul full of sadness,
4 Too proud to acknowledge defeat.
How often the sigh Of detection
Is beaved from the hypOcrite's breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or luI asuspicion to rest.
How often the friends we hold dearest
Their noblest emotions conceal,
And bosoms the purest, sincerest,
Have secrets they cannot reveal.
Leave base minds to harbor suspicion,
And small ones to trace out defeats
Let ours be a noble ambition,
For base is the mind that suspects.
We none of US know one another,
And oft into error we fall;
Then let US speak well our brother,
Or speak Of him not at all.

Remarkable Occurrence.


THE Chicago Republican states most re-
markable accident which occurred to man
on the Northwestern Railroad on the 4th
inst. As the express train was approaching
a watertank, the signal was given to stop
the train. 8Ir. N. W. Bahks, Of Chicago,
was in his car at the tine and surprising
some danger rnenaced the train, put his head
out Of the door to asOsrtuin the ldih6eulty.-
At this instant the train rain dashed By The iAnk,
and from the pipe by which the tenders, are

elf about the neck Of Mr.. Danks, and drew
him from the car. He hung thus suspended
until the train had passed, when the rope
slowly unwound and Mr.. Danks fell to the
ground. When picked up, he was ihsshsibls;

SCHOOL GIRLS.
By FITz GREENE HALLEcK.

MERRMY bounds the morning bark
Along the summer sea:
Merrily mounts the morning lark
The topmost twig on tree:
Merrily smiles the morning rose
The morning sun to see
And merrily, merrily greets the rose
The honey-sUcking bee:
But merrier, merrier far are these
Who bring on wings of the morning breezt
A music sweeter than her own,
A happy group ofIoVes and graces,
Graceful forms and lovely faces,
All in gay delight Outhown:
Outaown from their sehoolroom cages,
schoolroom rules and schooiroom pages.
Lovely in their teens and tresses,
Summer smiles and summer dresses,
Joyous in their dance and song,
With sweet sisterly caresses,
Arm in arm they speed along.

The Great Problem.

I Rev. DR.. Vinton, Of New York, deliv1
ered discourse at the Trinity Church,
on Tuesday, in which he said:
"The greet problem is now upon US of
restoring fraternal feeling throughout the
land, and, by wise measures of conCilia-
ton, proving to those who, though here
tofore our enemies, deceived, misguided
by designing men, are nevertheless, in
the Gospel view, our Christian brethren
and fellow citizens that we were anima-
ted by no spirit of revenge toward them;
that we desired to bury the past and let
it remain forever in oblivion.
"If the religious services of this occa-
sion were worth anything they should be
accepted in this-the spirit Of the Cos.
pei read in the lesson to-day: BLESSED
are the merciful, for they shall obtain
mercy'-'Blessed are the peace-makers,
for they shall be called the children Of
God.W
Oh, that all ministers were imbued
with the same spirit Of Christianity.

TWAS ALL A DREAM The old maid
sat in her old arm chair, with half.closed
eyes and pensive air, and without blush
on her maiden fee, fell into old "Mur-
phys" sweet embrace. She dreamed
that husband, kind and true, her form to
bis side SO gently drew; while in accents,
gentle, clear and slow, he called her the
dearest name below. A FIRE was kindled
upon the hearth, while the tea-kettle
sang merrier lay than it had whistled
for many day. New light was difused
in the old maids heart, as she felt her
loneliness depart; the table was spread,
all clean and new, and plates and saucerH,
and chairs for two. Here the poet kind

fast giving place to the shades Of night,

broke, she rose and said, with shudder-

The Country Full of Burglars
Look Out.

The country is full of burglars. The
country press TEEN with accounts Of pro-
cecdings of the results. In Hamilton, o.,
one night last week, a burglar was killed
ed iu attempting to enter house. Upon
searching his person. were found dOcu
ments and memorandums showing a regu
larly organized plot to rob. Descriptions
Of houses, locations, places where the
money was kept, means Of entering, &C.,
we're given. 1t is supposed that this in
formation was obtained by some confed-
crates Of the burglars who go around the
country pretending 10 be pedlar', dealers
in medicines, &c. AT Nevada, N, Y, q
few nights ago, burglar got into q house.
He killed the man of the house, and
nearly murdered girl. Near Redding,
Pa, on the 18th, three burglars broke in
to the house Of Isaac Causer. After a
severe struggle, George Maxas, sOn,in-
law of Causer, stabbed one of the party
and killed him. We advise everybody in
the city and eonntry to be on the look
out for burglars. Give the infamous
scoundrels the bullet and cold steel with.
out hesitation. The man who will rob,
will kill, and every citizen upon whom
they attempt to perpetrate their Outrages
will be justified in killing them. Look
out for burglars, and give them, every
time, a shot that will tell-Plaia Dealer,

All hail, the beauties Of the Spring,
Raise high your swelling strain,
And Natures trans iutation sing,
Y As she new robes obtain.
Array yourselves, ye forests wide,
Cast off your winter screen;
Attend the seasons lovely bride.
Put on your robes Of gresu. II
Spread out your variegated flowers,
We orchards to the breeze,
Perfume the thickly shaded bowers,
Where she may dwell at ease.
Ye Pines and Cedars, ever clad
With your renewing shades;
Lift up your heads, be not SO sad
Assume deeper shade,
Yet Hills awake from long repose,
Fling off your chilling robe,
Take to yourselves your yernal robe,
And decorate the globe.
Ye Wales rejoice, lift up your sound,
Proclaim il full and high;
Ye Rocky Concaves loud resOund
Your ech0es to the sky.
Ye Flowing Streams and Ripping Rills,
Loosed from your icy bands,
Send up your music from the hills,
And from your glistening sands.
Nature, arise, thy work perform,
The fields and meads attire,
In perfect neatness all things form
With beauty all inspire.
Yes, rise and decorate thyself,
To greet your welcomed friend,
For Spring, that lovely, wondering elf,
Has come to us again.
Yes, she has come in garments wrought
By Naiad's skillful hand.
And walks the earth with beauties sought
By every maiden band.
She trips upon the barre hills,
Her foot prints living green,
And then those rugged peaks again,
In verdant hues are seen.
She breathes upon the naked D0ughs,
The dead awake to Ii G,
And winters desolated scene
Revives with beauties rife.
She walks majestic through the vale,
She spreads her grassy robe,
And scatters from her ample horn
The flowers DER the globe.
Her fingers skillful for the task,
Tho rose bud wide unfold
This flower she paints with amber hues,
And that with tints of gold.
She beauties the mead and wood,
She makes the lambkins play.
And in her balmy zephyr breeze,
The warblcrs sing their lay.
She fills our hearts with pleasing mirth,
Each face is lit with smiles,
And all her artiul loveliness,
Our minds from care beguilcs.
Then praise yo, for the glorious Spring,
The givcr of our joys, q
Let Nature turn her mellow strain,
His praises % employ.
