OF while marble, cluster closely under its
shadow, as if expecting that its sDire would
receive and avert the bolt Of fiery wrath sci {
at them out of Heaven. When I looked
again the little church seemed protecting its
erTing ones under its shadow as the mother

SAYING to the Savior, who is her spouse =
Here am Lord, with the children whom
thou hast given me- It is p scene OF quiet
beauty. There are no hills, no rugged glens,
no torrents, but simply broad plain, the ev-
ergreen grass, the taR clumps of forest trees
which the axeman has spared for their pic
turesque effect the broad spreading yew
trees, and t!ie green ivy which loving nature
here sends to earess and clothe everything
that is unsightly and bare. Here, as every
where else in this country, every thing is in
perfect order. The road leading to it is as
smooth and hard as a Aoor-the paths are
broad and their boarders are closely trimmed
the fence is as clean as if It had but vester-
day received new coat of paint the grass
has recently been mown, and there is no.
where to be seen a briar or weed.
IF the traveller be familiar with the Eleqv.
he viii find himself repeating it, almost uu-
consciously, as he walks solemnly around
Its long, slow-moYing measures are so per-
iectly in harmony with the place, that they
seem its utterances-the very words and
thoughts which it, before the poet came,
strove muteiy and vainly to communicate to
men.
Without tie enclosure short distance, a
friend has very appropriately erected mon
ument to the poets memory The inscrip-
ton upon one of the four sides tells US that
he died July Both, III, and "lies unnoticed
in the ehurch-yard adjoining Upon the
other sides, are extracts from his poems &C.
scriptive Of the locality. One Of them begins
''Ye distant spires, -anothsr-"AhI happy
hills! Ali pleasing shade /" and the others
are the verses from the Elegy beginning
Hard by yon wood morn I missed
him from the accustomed Beneath
those rugged elm trees shade" and The
boast Of heraldry, the pomp Of power"
The monument is an appropriate one but
supelauous. The church-yard itself is the
Poets monument. We visit it because he
wrote about it, and when there, think even
more Of his genius than Of its gentle, subdu-
ing beauty
We returned from the contemplation Of
such plan as this, iu an hour, to the hustle
Of the great city, to have our ears stunned
again by It's never ceasing roar. I returned
also, to fnd advices awaiting US from home
Of the terrible struggle and slaughter Of Chi
camauga; to recognize in a list of less than
twenty of the killed and wounded the names
of five friends. more or less intimate and dear
and to feel the remediless agony of suspense
and anxiety, lest an only brother should also
be among the pallid and low upon that awful
field
There was peace and JOY in the day; but
sorrow came with the night.

The s0ldisrs---How They Feel

GENERAL WAsHBURS, on taking leave Of the
Department Of Memphis, made speech no
says that our soldiers, who ''have faced death
in every shape upon the battlefield, or in
tents aud camps, amid damps and putrefac-
ton, are more kindly disposed toward their
old assailants than those who have kept safe
ly out Of harms way BY remaining at home"
This is very true, and is thus accounted
for by the General, who continues: "It
arises very much from this fact, that the SOL
diers have seen the rsyages Of war-havs
seen to what extremity of suffering the south
ern people have been reduced; how from
wealth and afiuence, with tine houses, and
all that heart could wish, they have been re-
duced to the most abject poverty, many
without shelter, or place to lay their heads.
These sights, daily and hourly seen, are well
calculated to soften the most obdurate heart,
and 10 disarm even the most vindictive in
their thirst for vengeance. I should be glad
if the real condition of The South could 10
seen and known, as see and know it, by
our people at the North. I am sure that the
spirit OF vengeance, if it exists any where,
could be subdued for II would be seen thst
treason has already been terribly punished"

The sweet young grasses wither on the world,
And we, o Lord, have wandered from thy fold /;
But evening brings US home.
Among the mists we stumble and the rocks,
Where the brown lichen whitens, and the fox
Watches the straggler from the scattered focks;
But evening brings US home.
The sharp thorns prick US, and our tender feet
Are cut and bleeding, and the lambs repeat
Their pitifuI complaints-oh, rest is sweet
When evening brings us home.
We have been wounded by the Hunters darts :;
Our eyes are heavy, and our wailing hearts
Search for thy coming; when the light departs
At evening, bring US home.
The clouds are round US, and the snow-drifts

In the waste night, our tardy footsteps quicken;

Tho Administration Policy.

"NoRMAN," the Washington cores
pondent of the Ohio State Journal, under
date Of June 17th, writes:
The questions connected with the mat
ter Of Reconstruction daily assume greater
Importance, and are now the principal
topics of political circles here. Upon
their settlement will, in a great measure,
depend the dimensions and aims Of
future political parties. Perhaps none
Of these questions has given rise to more
discussion than than Of Negro Suffrage.
At the last several Cabinet meetings this
has been the chief topic Those members
who are especially anxious to preserve
the present political status of the country
favored the comforting the right to vote
upon all classes Of men without distinc-
tion, except to unnaturalized foreigners.
Without claiming to know positively
who these were, l will say it is under
stood that Messrs. Stanton, Dennison and
Harlan favored this policy, whila the
President, and Messrs. Seward, Welles
Speed opposed it. At the last meeting
the question was defn tely settled, and
the Administration may be said to be COM
mitted against Tie right Of the Negroes to
VOte. The announcement of this policy
will be made at once to the Provisional
and Military Governors of the States that
are to be Reconstructed"
