o, HETTY MCEwEE, Hetty MeEwen!
What were the angry rebels doing,
That Autumn day, in Nashville town?
They looked aloft with oath and frOwn,
And saw the Stars and Stripes wave high
Against the blue and sunny sky;
Deep was the oath, and dark the frOwn,
And loud the shout of "Tear it down"
For over Nashville, far and wide,
Rebel bann ers the breeze defed,
Staining heaven with crimson bars;
Only the one old "Stripes and Stars"
Waved, where autumn leaves were strewing,
Round the home Of Hetty Melvin.
Hetty McEwen watched that day
Where her son on his death bed lay;
She heard the hoarse and angry cry
The blood of '76" rose high,
Out flashed her eye, her cheek grew warm,
Up rose her aged, statley form
From her window, with steadfast brow,
She looked upon the crowd below.
Eyes all afame with angry fire
Flashed on her defiant ire,
And once more rose the angry call,
"Tear down that flag, or tire house must fall ~
Never single inch quailed she,
Her answer rang out firm and free;
"Under the roof where that flag flies,
Now my son on his death-bed lies;
Born where that banner iOated high,
Meath its folds he shall surely die
Nor for threats nor yet for suing
Shall it fall" said Hetty McEwen.
The loyal heart and steadfast hand
Claimed respect for the traitor band;
The fercest rebel quailed that day
Before that woman stern and gray.
They went in silence, one by one
Left her there with her dying son,
And left the old flag floating free
O'er the brayest heart in Tennessee,
To wave in loyal splendor there
Upon the treason tainted air,
Until the rebel rule was 0 Ter
And Nashville town was ours once more.
Came the day when Fort Donelson
Fell, and the rebel reign was done;
And into Nashville, Bueu then,
Marched with a hundred thousand men,
Wi waving flags and rolling drums
Passed the heroine's house he comes
He checked his steed and barred his head,
soldiers salute that flag J." he said:
"And cheer, boys, cheer!-give three times
three
For the bravest woman in Tennessee :"

1 had read in a French book once how
great criminal was detected in the act
of numbering his master by mirror
that the person watching had seen the
reflection of the assassin sitting the cries
of his victim with a pillow I deter
mined to set my trap by the same means.
1 placed the mirror in such way as
to command the head of the bed and
having, with the consent of the patient,
who seemed passive in the hands Of his
fendish wife-strsnge fatuity-made the
necessary dispositions for my watch. I
placed myself in an armchair. L sat for
some time musing on the terrible effects
of the poisoning by small doses, admins
tered by a cunning hand. saw imagi-
nation, the cruel and restless assassin
stealthily encroaching, as a serpent en-
velops its victim in its folds, day by day,
on the life and strength of the sufferer
obnoxious to its design. I thought of
the terrible suferings-the protracted
agony-the gradual prostratiOn of the
victim, the glOating cruelty of the poison
er, as hour by hour she watched and
measured the fading strength of her prey,
and thinking thus-I suppose I fell
asleep.
Twas awoke suddenly by door open

did not move. A figure clad in loose
dress entered. The looking-glass before
me covered the head of the bed the
figure fell within its angle of incidence.
I saw at once it was the guilty wife. She
still noiselessly moved toward the head
of the bed She addressed some remark
to her victim He was awake and I
then saw her take from a table close by,
tumbler and vase Of antique form,
from which, still noiselessly, she poured
a draught I saw it all in an instant
the looking-glass revealed every move

happy husband raised himself on his
elbow. He was about to drink.
Stay, demon !'' I said, in a voice of
thunder, addressing the lady; would
you poison your husband? Stay-drink
notofthe accursed draugbt-iti is poison!"
The lady gave a shrek, and the glass fell
upon the floor.

I examined and tasted. 1t was-toast

I received my congo next morning from
a brother practitioner. The patient was
an NJ P, engaged-from his popular
manners, a taste for literature, and phi
lanthrophy-as perpetual chairman to
public dinners in the whitobait, season,
particularly those held at Greenwich. He
was suffering from billiousness and indi-
gestion, caused by his ministerial duties
in this respect. His young wife, with
perhaps pardonable anxiety, had over
rated the severity of this complaint, and
I had been mislcd by novels into believ-
ing that pretty women are generally de-
mons. I am wiser now; but this was
my first and last patient.

Yankee Prisoners Lament.

BY ONE WHO HAS FELT THE WOES HERE DESCRIBED.
We hope vet for the fallen tree, that the tender
branch may sprout,
But prisoners once in rebel hands. ne'er know
when they'll get out.
Preserved amidst the battles storm from deaths
last cold embrace,
To linger out few days more in rebcldom's s
stockadcs;
To feel the tyrant's iron heel while PROSTATE on
the earth.
To tread in bitter agony the winepress Of Coils
wrath;
Oppressed with clamoring hunger's panss, naked,
sick, dsarmed,
Like pous Job We curse our day and wish we'd
ne'er been born.
A feeble hope lights up our breasts--'tis all our
hearts contain
That VIC, by fortunes favor, may see our homes
again.
But hope deferred old bards have said the stoutcst
heart viii break.
And frequent disappointmcnts the confidence will
shake.
Dame rumor's tongue points out the spo. where
the "truce boat" last WAS seen,
But what docs all this profit US while Sherman
stands between.
"Cheer up, my boys" the Dame will cry, 'row
'ct your hearts be gay,
We all shall soon be taken out by Kilpatrick's s
cavalry;
Brave Wilder too, for our release, has vautcd in
the saddle,
Yc gods at sight of his Brigade. how these con-
scripts will skedadde,.
Old Abe h,s promised, I've no doubt, for so the
Herald says,
THAT all the prisoners shall be home at least in
thirty days"
The story spreads and something more each listen
will add,
And 'sanst the tale is half way round arrange
mcnts arc III made.
The days appointed, contracts signed tie trans
ports ON their way,
And each begins to count the hours that lie will
have TO stay.
'Tis sad, indeed, It's wondrous sad to disappoint
such trust,
'Tis sad that bubbles bright as these were only
made TO burst.
But Time. the fell destroyer, the falschood will
unfold,
And grim despair rc-scizcs us midst the hunger
and the cold. w. II. ii. NJ

cit is great mistake, in female education

On Sunday, January 22l ut, Norman Mcleod
under protection OF Gen. Conners troops, conduct
cd public Christian worship for the first time in
the history of Utah at Des City. With pop
ulation of about twenty five thousand "saints" the
city includes abou. six hundred ''senties" all
told including Christians, nothingarians and Jews,
who by Classification peculiar to Mormaaism are
here numbered among the "geEtiles." Knowing
ihat their whole framework of society is antagon-
is'ic to everything in the United States, except
slavery, they have been bitter sccessionsts from
the outset of the war. Their Norman priests Brig
ham Young, Hebcr Kmbal and others s'iustruct"
them that cur war is in ful6llment of prophecy
of fJcseph Smith, alledgcd to have been made in
1863 that war would break out in South Carolina
on the slavery question. This is not improbable as
, the same prediction made by most men of that
time, and indeed South Carolina was then in state
uasi-rebelliou, Another article of Mormon
belief is that the is to continue until both the
Federal and rebel governments are overthrown,
and their male population exterminated. whereup-
On the "sants" are to reign aud judicious dis
,ribution of the women ofthe United Suites is to
be made among them under the prsoral dircc-
ton of Brigham Young himself.
1t seems scarcely conceivable that such a com
munity should be increasing in our midst to dim
ensions which entite it, the score of population
to admission into the Union. Yet every westward
train over the plains is adding hundreds Of the
most ignorant and depraved class Of European pop
ulation tc this community, in which beastliness is
held to be piety, and the blasphemy of a cunning
imposter is revelation. The United States is in no
sense the real government in any part of Utah.
but the government of Brigham Young, temporal
as we'll as spiritual, derived from the supersttious
adherence of his followers. 1t is not a republican
government in form, bu; an ecclesiastical Priest
ocracy, and therefore can have no claim to admis-
sion as State whatever its population. 1t is not
loyaln spirit, but on the contrary, the ragged and
ignorant children of the Mormon polygarnists are
taught with their mothers milk to curse the Federal
fag. The State, however, if admitted would vote
the strongest kind OF States Right, Secesh Cop
perhead, "Democratc'' ticket, and the "Democra-
cy" are therefore getting uneasy over its non-ad-
mission. New Jersey and Delaware are in danger
OF getting discouraged in the task of sustaining the
general cause of depravity 10 the country, and
Democratic State is needed. There is no better
or n,ore important field, not only fo- religious but
political missionary work than Utah. Il is to be
hoped that it be not left until that which could have
been done BY persuasion must be done BY the
sword.-Cm. Trib-
