THE TORN FLAGS.
Boys. bring the torn flags home,
Wien this weary ar is done,
Trnierly,
Rev-rently,
Bring every one,
And on each hero's grave,
Let these rent banners wave,
Which they have died to sa7c,
Their work is done.
What tales those f1ags will tell,
To hearts that love them we'll
All tattered,
Stats shattered
When time shall bring
Peace, like brooding dove
Emblem Of trust aud love.
Waving; our homes above,
Her snOw-white wing.
Oh. could those dumb mouths speak,
Their words our hearts would break.
Dear brothers,
Our martyrs,
Sleep quietlyl
You have redeemed your pledge,
And saytd from dire outrage.
Our fathers heritage.
Blest Liberty.
God bless our glorious boys!
Fsrfrom the battle's noise,
Oft sadly,
Tearfully,
With hearts afraid
Dreading the news that comes,
Clouding the dear hearth stones,
Of cur defended homes
For you we've prayed.
And now you're coming home.
Your work is almost done,
1Caressing,
Adoring..
Your welcome shall be.
From the brink of the grave,
Y"ur stout hearts, and brave,
From infany saved
The Flag of the Free!

Like vivid flash away,

Grows more glorious every day.
And like phantous they pursue me,
Vanished pleasures Of my life.
As tread the path Of duty.

DINNER TO THE 18th INFANTRY
The dinner yesterday for the 18th
West Virginia infantry, and detach-
ment of the 1st New York Cavalry,
was very pleasant affair, everything
passing off in the most agreeable
manner, and we believe to the entire
satisfaction of all the parties con-
cerned. The 18th numbered about
six hundred men, and the New York
Cavalry three hundred and twenty
eight, making in all near one thou
sand soldiers present at the enter
tainment. Their department and
good behavior was the general theme
among the citizens and the visitors.
The 18th marched from the Island
to the depot under arms, and there
stacked their guns outside the en-
closure, and entered single ale, tax
ing their places around the tables.
Before proceeding with the repast
Governor BOreman addressed them
briefly in words of earnest welcome,
and thanking them FIR the faithful
service performed for the State and
country. Lieut. Col. Stewart re-
sponded on behalf of he Thirteenth,
and expressed his delight and
gratitude for the manner in which
they had been received, and said it
repaid them for many an hour of toll
and danger. He concluded By pro-
posing nine cheers and tiger for the
Governor, the Ladies and the Com
mittee of Arrangements. The cheers
were given with a will. and only as
Union soldiers can cheer.
Capt Freeman OF The First New
York Cavalry, followed, and said he
desired on behalf of the Ist Veteran.
Cavalry, and in the name of the En-
pire State. to express his thanks for
the kindness and courtesy extended
to his men. The Captain spoke elo-
quently in reference tc the national
cause and the glorious termination
of the struggle. He concluded by
proposing three times three for the
Governor, the State and the citizens.
This terminated the ceremonies, and
the boys were told to charge upol
the viands, and they charged, and as
usual the enemy went down before
them. The ladies as usual contrib
uted to the success of the occasion.

OVER THE RIVER.

A traveller stood on desolate bank,
With none to help, or deliver;
A form stood nigh him, meagre and lank,
His eyes were stony, his hair was dsnk
His black boss lay on the dreary bank
To row HIM over the river.
A groan came up from his struggling throat,
His pulse best with q shud ring quiver
As he looked on that form, with his murky
boat,
The blseker stream, o'er which it must Hoat,
Despair wrung deeper groan from his throat
As be shrank from that fesrful river.
Then dim light SHOWN on the other shore
How be blest the bencfcent GiTer,
But he trembled TO see the thick clouds lower
Hear the sullen waters splash, and roar
And Iieb, with their angry tongues, the shore
Where the light lay, over the river.
A voice came out from the soft dim light,
Through the tone thrilled plying quiver
Though the waves are Wild, and dark the night,
Ny beacon shall shine out clear. and bright,
Shall fill thy soul with holy light.
To guide thee over the river.
The light shown clear, from shore 10 shore,
There fair the celestial city stood,
The fearful rain of sorrow shall pour.
Bathing their hearts in crimson gore.
In their beautiful home o'er the river.
Oh Joy eternal! the stains Of sin
Are washed from their robes forever,
Peace with her low notes, bushes the din,
Not single care, not q tear or sin
Can creep, with their eankering weight within
The walls of our home Ger the river.
The boat WAS launched; the boatman grim
Made its slight ribs strain, and quiyer,
Out from the waters murky hrim
It shot, like thing of life with him,
Now no dread Of the oarsrnan grim
There's his beautiful home o'er the river.
Safe! safe at last! mid &c shining throng
In the city Uf souls forever,
A chorus of triumph, clear and strong,
FlOaied, the happy elowds among
On the air, whose very breath was sung;
In his long sought home o'er the river,

ALLEGED ATTEMPT At BoUHERy.-Sundayn Nigh
about eleven O'Clock, the residents in the vicinity
of Planters Hotel on Summer street were alarm
cd by the loud outcrics of young girl-about
thirteen or fourteen years of gc-procccding from
the balcony of Mrs. plummor's boarding. house,
opposite the hotel. Several gentlemen from the
Planters Hotel and others who were passing,
hastcncd 10 ihc spot and attempted to enter the
house. One gentleman stated. that as he was going
up the stairs. ha saw man holding n shot gun in
his hands. and was forced to beat a retreat Loud
cries were made for the police, but none of those
faithful guardians of the night made their appear
aucc The house was afterwards searched, bat
the robbers had made their escape.
The young girl before referred to, states that
two mon entered the room by means of false keys,
aud holding a pistol TO her head. threatened to
shoot her If she gave any alarm. She says that
they were masked but were evidently white men
a. she noticed by their hands; and that they lit
the candle In her room, 60 assist them in their
search. Ga leaving, they locked her door on the
outside. After their departure she got out of the
window on TO tho balcony, and called for help.
Mrs. Plumcr was absent at the time, visiting
relative: but soon after returned Some Of the
boardcrs in the house seemed TO know nothing Of
the disturbance. Search being made, it was dis
covered that nothing had been taken by the al.
legged robbers. II seems unlikely however, that
thieves. who were provided with pistols, should
carry so unwicldy a weapon rs Is shotgun, on an
attcmpt requiring secrecy and rapidity of move
