4 NEW NOVEL,

STAFF OFFICER SERVING IN VIRGINIA.
Edited from the MS. of Col. Surry, by
JOHNESTEN COOKE,
Author of
"THE VIRGINIA COMEDIANS"
With four Illustrations, BY
w L u w I'll o Nj e r.
This IS Confederate war novel, including LEE,
JACKSON, STUART, AsHBY, and other Confederate
celebrities among its dramatis peysone. It is
very spirited, graphic, of absorbing interest, and
the delineations of its historical characters may
be relied upon as closely faithful. The author
served on Stuart's staff, met the Confederate
Generals daily, and has portrayed them exactly
as they were. The incidents of the story are all
In Virginia, and are as romantic, stirring, and
interesting as any one coald wish. It is, of
course, South-side novel, but confines itself to-
the delineaton of adventures and incidents, most
of which were of actual occurrence. better
insight into life in the Confederate army during
tns eVen1iul early Perious Vi tne war cannot De
obtained; while the work, apart from its warlke
incidents, is excellent in style, and full of inter-
est. For sale by

My Wife and Child.
BY HENRY R. JACKSON.

The tattoo beats-the lights are gone,
The camp around in slumber lies,
The night with solemn pace moves on,
The shadows thicken o. er the skies;
But sleep my weary eyes hath flown,
And sad uneasy thoughts arise
think of thee, oh, dearest one, .-r.i.
Whose love my early life hath best II
Of thee and him-our baby SON ......
Who slumbers on thy gentle breast .
God of the tender, frail and lone, ..f-
Oh, guard the tender sleepers' rest.
And hover gently, hover near l.- ...
To her, whose watchful eye is wet ts.
To mother, wife-the doubly dear, ..r.
In whose young heart have freshly met
Two streams of love so deep and clear,
And cheer her dropping spirits yet.
Now, while she kneels before Thy Throne,
Oh, teach her, Ruler of the skies,
That, while by Thy behest alone,
Earth's mightiest powers fall or rise,
No tear is wept to Thee unknown,
No hair is lost, no sparrow diesl ..- 81
That Thou cans st stay the ruthless hands
Of dark disease, and sooth its pain; H I'd
That only by Thy stern commands a..#
The battles lost, the soldiers slain, i'll
That from the distant sea or land, ,... q,
Thou bring'st the wanderer home again.
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear-wet cheeks is sadly prest,
May happier visions beam upon
The Frightening current of her breast;
No frowning look or angry tone,
Disturb the Sabbath of her rest.
Whatever fate those forms may show,
Tovad with q nassi0n almost wild. g. SCI.
By day-by night-in joy or woe n
By fears oppressed, or hopes beguiled,
From every danger, every foe, l
Oh, God! protect my wife and child
