like marble statue seemed mechanically 70
move aud breathe. No sound or groan escaped
her lips. When she reached home, she re.
tired to her room and her couch, and never
rose again. Fever had seized her delicate
frame, and was drinking her life's blood Life
and hope had fed her heart; desolation and
sorrow was her portion. For months she lin
gered between life and death. The throne of
reason became vacant; the mind fed, leaving
tho structure beautiful ruin.
z The fierce wild blasts Of winter had sounded
their last peal, and retreated to the ice-bound
zone. Spring with its genial breath was
yooing the pale crocuses and tiny snow-drops,
to lift their lowly heads, and catch the warm
and soft zephyrs, that Hoated BY All flowers
would rejoice at her gentle touch, all save one,
apale, broken lily. Frail, fair and beautiful,
Lulie Sinclair was dying. The winter blasts
had cut into her soul, and she was slowly pass
ing away. No more wailing-out those plain
tive sounds-"Let me go to meet my darling
lie told mo to wait for him." She was going,
eAing to meet her loved and lost Archie. Her
watch was soon to end, her waiting soon to be
der
& Softly the sur was setting in cloudless splcn-
dor, and casting its long yellow rays aslant
one fell on the pale face, lighting it up with a
glorious beauty. No look of insanity rested
OF it now.
ISoftly she said ''Mama, saw Archie last
night lie will come again tonight, and I
VIII go with him. Tomorrow will be here
.atlast. Kiss me, darling mother" Exhaust
cawith the effort, she closed her eyes. AS a
babe sleeping on its mothers breast, so gently
fed her carthworn spirit 'Thc silver cord
was looscd, the golden bowl was broken"
Lplie was at rest. One grave covers the re-
nlhins Of Archie Ovcrton and Lulic Sinclair
The cup of suffering was quaffcd deeply, but
tlny are at rest, at peace for ever.
Months had elapsed since the close of the

Consolation.

. /.
Tho torrent OF the world is rough and strong,
No eyes with loving tendernesses glisten,
I cennot sing truth-inspiring song,
II none on earth will listen.
Tho angel answercd: Wherefore dost thou sighs
The courser faints not ore his race be run
Tho meanest blossom may not, cannot dio
Before It's work DO done.
The prayer-bells in thy heart should summon etill
The world all day, at noon, at eve, at dnwning
And not like yonder church upon tho hill,
Only on Sunday morning.
The belfry-ropes have hung q long; long time,
But only midnight breczes make them quiver,
Let thy heart ring like some cathedral chime,
Forever nnd forever.
II there be none to hcarken to thy song
No ears to heed-no loving eyes to glisten-
Gods little wood-birds sing the whole day long,
And care not who will listen
Then let the roses Of thy fancy peep
Within tho lovc-lit cottage of thy heart,
And, like = consecratcd treasure keep,
The knowledge of thine art
And lift thy trusting eyes unto thy sky,
For hcaven-not earth-shall give thy words
hearing
Speak truth undauntediy, and live and die
Life-loying, death-unfearing.
scorn not thy life-it is the git Of God;
Scorn not thy kind-they arc his children too
The dark blue violet rises from the sod
All the long winter through;
II throws q smile upon each winter day
A fragrance DER the frosty atmosphere;
Thou hast had many winters; will stay
With thee another year

"ARCHIE."
Only tomorrow and the next day, and we'd
ding would take place at Mount Eyre Archie
Overton and Lulie Sinclair, had long been be-
trothed, During the long, weary years of war,
Lulie had remained faithful to her first love,
and now the gentle, fair haired Lulie was soon
to be Archie's bride. She was proud of the
gallant Colonel, who loved her $50 fond and so
true" He had won an undying name; a
! name that sounded like e death-kncll TO his
foes. Fearless in the hour of danger, he was
seen amid the thickest Of the fray, urging his
gallant boys on to almost heroulean deeds. The
war was over now, and Colonel Overton had re-
sumed his peaceful calling az q farmer. Did
say peacefully No; the quiet Of his mountain
home was disturbed by tho appearance of fierce
bands Of marauders, styling themselves "Guer.
rillas," whose object was plunder. They re-.
speoted neither life or property; Unioniats and
rebels so-caAed sharing alike, the same fate
"Mama, going down to the old hawthorn
tree to meet Archie" sangout Lulie in CHEEKY
voice. .nbtt&t.i-,S4
"Don't stay too late, dear," replied Mrs Sin
clair, but before her injunction reached Luie,
she had passed from hearing, though Mrs Sin
clair heard her voice oaroling gay snatches Of
blithesome songs.
Major Sinclair had heard Lulie tell her
mother where she was going, and came in to
caution her to come home early, but she had
gone A troubled look rested on his face.
Could it be that he was grieving for the loss of
his little blue-eyed daughterY Was he un.
willing to give her up to the gallant Overton
All, surely not. His wife, observing the shade
Of anxiety on his face, questioned him concern
ing it, her loving heart taking the alarm. He
replied gloomily, that bushwhackers we're again
in the neighborhood. "The boy" said he,
"who brought up Lulie's note to-day, told me
that they had made an attempt to break open
Archic's stable he had shot into them, and
signs of blood were seen this morning. fear
this is only the beginning of our trouble 1t
seems MS if we are never to have peace again"
he sighed heavily and walked away.
"Lulie and Archiu will be here presently,
Charles, and then We will hear the truth the
affair mdy be exaggerated
"God grant it may bc untrue, for if Archie
did wound OF kill one Of the gang, ho will pay
dearly for it," he walked up aid down the
broad piazza, restless and Uneasy A premo-
nitioii Of evil haunted him. Suddenly turning
to his wife, he said, "4Aghes; 1 will go and meet

Would to God that, in proportion 10 'h''
,oxyerof resistance and control, govern
meuts we're grown considerate, wise' hu-
name and virtuous. If they have iln-
proved in this way, we are unable yet to
discover the fact. Possibly they will.
Putting the most. implicit trust in Provi-
dence, and believing that in its allwise de-
signs the great events of this world are III
timately to bring about results for good
rather than evil, let us look cheerfully to
the future. The terrors and destructive
ness Of war certainly should deter nations
from this "ultima ratio" and inculcate
peaceful dispositions and polite, accom-
modating, and humane policies.
We need no more conclusive demon
stration Of the tremendous increase OF
power thrown on the side of means and
numbers than in the conduct and termlna-
ton of the late American war. Had that
war been conducted with means and con-
trivances Transportation and of war like
those which existed during the Revolution
of ZIG there cannot be doubt in any
mans mind but that the South would
have made the separation good. bnt the
new systems of warfare and of communl-
cation and transportation produced all
the difference in the world between
the two periods. The telegraph gave IN
slant communication, and the locomotive
cleayed the dir, bearing its trains loaded
with armed men with the rapidity of the
tabled winged horse. With such facility
of information where forces are wanted,
| and such promptness in placing them there,
small arc the chances in these days for the
weaker side. The change was not under
stood by the South when embarking in the
war. We are not ready to say that had it
been appreciated there would have been
no war; but there would certainly have
been more impetuosity and desperation in
the beginning Of it; for it is manifest that
against such odds, in modern warfare, the
weaker cause can only in this way sue
coed. A rush, shock, and shout may
save q cause which time now mostassuredly
will crush.

Hon. B. G. HARRIS GIVES Hrs OPINION
TO THE MARYLAND CoNvENTIoN.-The hon.
B. G. HARRIS, of Maryland, who is SO noted
| for his course in Congress, publishes in the
st. Mary's (Md.) Gazette peculiar letter,
addressed to the Maryland Constitutional
Convention. In this he declares that the
Democratic party must be reGstablished
peaceably or forcibly." He alleges that
the Radicals were installed in power by
force, and are now maintained by military
authority in opposition to the opinions of a
majority of one million of people. He
denounces the Democrats for their deceit
full war policy of pretending to wish the
subjugation of the South when they did
not. He says that by their tmid and de-
ccitful policy they misled the people and
lost the control they might have cxertcd ;
and the consequence is, instead Of being
able to hasten reconstruction, after oceans
of blood has been shed, "the act Of recon-
I" struction is the mere devilment of few
"cowardly tyrants."
He is sharp upon his Democratic col
league in the Thirty eighth Congress,
when he prayed that the North ""might
never subjugate the South" voting unani-
mously with the Radicals to ccnsurc him.
Still believing that the salvation Of the
country depends on the resurrection of the
Democratic party, and if necessary by
force against force, he on this point con-
cludes "JovE's head aches, and MINER
eva must spring forth in full armor before
"hc can be relieved ofhispain." Mr.. HAIR
RIs is {: rare public man, and does more
thinking aloud than any other Congress
man.
Ho devotes the remainder of his letter to
the discussion Of the amendments to the
State Constitution; among other things,
objecting to inserting anything about the
abolition Of slavery, not because he ex-
poets this omission will restore it, but
simply because abolition by the United
States was unconstitutional, and it would
be degrading to echo that act.

About Guns and War.


The high credit Just awarded to the
American Rodman gun in England is but
one of very many tributes to the superior
ingenuity and force of American inven-
tions in various departments of ordinary
utility as well as in offensive and defensive
arms and armor. 1t is stated that it was
proved by the trial at Shoeburyness that
the l5-iuch Rodman gun could not be
resisted by any iron or steel armor yet in
vented.
With reference to the experiments with
this gun, and the views of an English ar
tillerist, Captain NOBLE, against the large
bore American guns, it is stated that the
discovery of an American engineer that a
given amount Of powder has o greater
force in the large-bore guns than in those of
smaller calibre is fully sustained 1. e., that
pound Of powder in the l5-inch Ameri
can monitor gun will do great deal more
work than in the 9-inch Woolwich rife
gun. This, it is commended, is upon the
principle that the more room the powder
has to expand the more power it will de-
velop.
How does this result at Shoeburyness
affect "iron-clads"? An American jour
nal assumes that our iron-clads can already,
or may be made to, resist the Rodmap gun.
While.this boast may be made good, what
assurance is there that form Of shot and a
force Of projecting it may not be discover
ed (aided by the example of the Rod
man gum which will maintain the old re-
lation between defensive and offensive
warfare on the seas 1. e., give cannon
the same efficiency against metal walls
that 1t had when directed against
wooden," and thus, after all, leave to
strategy and bravery the triumph of
victory When man sees the wonder
full inventions for destructive warfare, if
he is philanthropic man, he INDUCES a
sort of hope of such preponderance of
ono over the other branch of offensive or
defensive strife as to pu. an end to war
&C., to make attack hopeless, or all at
tempts at defence so useless as that ma
lions will have to resort to some other
mode than that of war to settle their dis
