Dressed in their faded uniform,
Lifting aloft their standard of stars

Proudly they march in the grand review
TaI.r the cloudless arch of blue
Through the cheering street
Their triumphant feet
Keep step with the drum
Loudly shouting they come.

stretching many league away
T-y.ud the reach OF the eager eye,
That moist with tears Of joy to-day;
These are the men who have fought and bled

Like scintillent stars
Their glorious scars,
With patriot flame,
Light the pathway OF fame.
r..y have charged in the face of the foe
Through hot tcInpcstS of shot and shell,
When the war clouds We're hanging low
And the red rain IN torrents fell,
l,lpug through sharp hedges of fire,
Il slippery mounds and parapets higher.
With the banners they bear
Through the jubilant air,
Give back to the Sky

On field and redoubt
And were mustered out
On the red field OF fiery strife

HOW GEN. LEE WENT INTO THE WAR.

On the Sunday when the news arrived of
the fall of Sumpter, gentleman of our ac-
qualntance, In whom we place perfect con
tidence, took the cars at Washington to go
to Richmond. Upon the train were Alex
A. II. Stuart, William Ballard Preston, and
another member of the committee which the
Virginia Legislature had sent up to Wash
ington to confer with the Government, or
more properly speaking, to see what man
ner OF man the new President was, and to
spy out the land. AT one of the stations
beyond Alexandria, quite a crowd had col
lected, and eager demands were made for
the news as the train came in Mr.. Stuart
and Mr.. Preston stepped upon the platform
of the car to answer the inquiries. Our in
formant noticed one well-dressed gentle
man, who seemed to be the spokesman and
chief person of the crowd. He was flourish
ing up and down the platform with more or
less consequence, and as the train stopped,
cried out, Whats the news ?"
Sumpter has fallen" was the reply.
:" I'll raise an army and march on Wash
ington," exclaimed the excited individual
swinging his cane and walking uneasily
about. "Pll commence tomorrow morn
ing" he repeated, and raise an Amy and
take Washington. Hadn't | better do it,
Mr.. Preston p 1t was some time before
Preston answered, so long that our friend
thought he would make no reply, when he
said, slowl y and oracularly "True cour-
age waits on deliberation"
Was there any bloodshed ?" asked the
excited man.
"Nop
Wasn't there ?" looking down, and
speaking as if surprised AS the train
moved off, he was heard to repeat "Pll
raise an array and march on Washington"
When the train was under way our friend
asked WHO is that enthusiastic man 2"
That is Colonel Lee" said Mr. Preston.
And that is the man who has since been
commander of the rebel forces, and who is
represented as having very reluctantly, and
only after days of prayer, drawn his sword
against the Government that educated and
promoted him. And it must be remembered
that this occurrence took place before Vir-
ginia had passed it's bogus ordinance of Sc
cession and five days before Lees resigna-
ton Lee did raise a force of about three
thousand men, and marched them to Har-
per's Ferry to procure arms. The intention
was to march into Maryland, which it was
supposed would rise at once and 90 out of
the Union, carrying with it the national
capital, which the Rebels would at once
occupy and proclaim themselves the Gov
ernment of the United States 1t is evident
that they did not intend to go off and put
themselves in the attitude of rebels, but
that their plan was to take the capital and
the Government machinery, and then let
the North " rebeln if it didn't like the az

GERMAN ECONOMY.

A late tourist in Germany describes the
economy practised by the peasants as fol-
lows:
Each German has his house, his or
chard, his roadside trees so laden with
fruit that did he not carefully prop them up,
tie them together, and in many places hold
the boughs together by wooden clamps,
they would be torn asunder by their own
weight. He has his own corn plot, his
plot for mangei wurzel or hay for potatoes,
for hemp, &c. He is his own master, and,
therefore, he and his family have the stron-
gest motives for exertion. In Germany
nothing is lost The produce of the trees
and the cows is carried to market Much
fruit is dried for winter use. You see
wooden trays of plums, cherries and sliced
apples lying in the sun to dry. You see
strings of them hanging from the windows
in the sun. The cows are kept up grea-
ter part of the year, and every green thing
is collected for them. Every little nook
where grass grows, by the roadside, river
and brook, is carefully cut by the sickle,
and carried home on the heads of the wo-
men and children, in baskets or tied in
large cloths. Nothing of the kind is lost
that can possibly be made of any USE
Weeds, nettles, nay, the very goose grass
which covers the waste places, are cut up
and taken for the cows. You see the little
children standing in the streets of the vii
lagos, and in the streams which usually
run down them, busy washing these weeds
before they are given to the cattle. They
carefully collect the leaves of the marsh
grass, carefully cut their potato tops fol
them and even, if other things fail, gather
leaves from the woodlands.

Defence OF THE GoosE.-It is a great

may drive over a dog, cat hen or pig
but defy you to drive over a tame goose.
As for wild geese, know of no animal,
biped or quadruped, that is so difficult to
deceive or approach. Their senses of hear

THE LAUGH OF WoMAN-A woman has no
natural gift more bcwitching than sweet
laugh. 1t is like the sound of flutes on
the water. 1t leaps from her in clear,
sparkling rill : and the heart that hears it
feels as if bathed in the cool, cxhilarating
spring. Have you ever pursued an unseen
fugitive through trees, led on by fairy
laugh-now here, now there, now lost, now
found We have; and we are pursuing
that wandering voice to this day. Some
times it comes to us in the midst of care
or sorrow, or irksomc business and we
turn away and listen, and hear it ringing
through the room like silver bell, with
power to scare away the evil spirit of the
mind How much we owe that sweet
laugh 1t turns the prose to poetry it
fngs showers of sunshine over the dark
ness of the wood in which we are travelling:
it touches with light even our sleep, which
is no more the image of death, but is con-
sumed with dreams that are shadows of
Immortality.

Fun AT HoME-Don't be afraid of a little
fun to ruin your sons. Don't let them think
that all mirth and social enjoyment must
be left on the threshold without, when they
come home at night, When once a home
is regarded as only a place to eat, drink
and sleep in, the work is begun that ends
in gambling houses and reckless degrade
ton. Young people must have fun and re-
taxation somewhere if they do not find it
at their own hearthstones, it will be sought
at other and less profitable places. There
fore, let the fire burn brightly at night, and
make the homestead delightful with all
those little arts that parents SO perfectly
understand Don't repress the buoyant
spirit of your children. Half an hour of
merriment, around the lamp and freight
of home, blots out the remembrance of
many care and annoyance during the day;
and the best safeguard they can take with
them into the world, is the unseen influence
of a bright and domestic sensation

WHERE THE FAULT LIES Great brother,
said the moon to the sun, why is it that
while you never hide your face from me,
our poor sister, the earth, so often pines in
dimness and obscurity?
Little sister, replied the sun, the
fault is not in me. You always behold me
as am, and rejoice in my lights, but she
too often covers herself with thick clouds.
which even | cannot efectually pierce, and
while she mourns my absence, ought to-
know that am ever near, and wait only
for her clouds to pass, that may reveal
myself'

NEW YORK, September 10.
Judge Holt in his reply to Mr.. Blair de-
MES the lstter's charge that be, Judge Holt,
made or was in any manner q party to a2
srmistice with the rebel Secretary at the
time the question of succoring the garrison
of Fort Sumter was before Buchsnan's
Cabinet. He also says he never signed or
was in any way party TO an agreement
that no act of war would take place on the
part of the United States during Mr..
Buchansn's term. Nor does he believe
any such agreement was authorized by Mr..
BGchanan or ever existed. He quotes
from a letter which ne wrote as Secretary
of War, in January, 1861, 10 Colonel
Hayne, saying that should Msjor Ander-
sons safety require reinforcemeDts, every
effort would be made to supply them. At
that time, however, the Government did
not deem it necessary to send him rein
forcements, because he made no such 70.
quest and felt quite secure in his position.
The Posts Washington special says the
Secretary of the Treasury reports that he
intends issuing 5-2Os in exchange for
Treasury compound interest notes.
The statement that all troops will soon
be withdrawn from the Southern States
is entirely groundless.
The force in the Treasury Department is
gradually being reduced to the lowest limit
consistent with the necessities of public
service.
Important retrenchments are also in
progress in other departments of the gov
