AN INCIDENT OF THE GREAT REBELLION
"Nine O'Clock aud no orders yetv l

the small waiting room at the shore
headquarters of the commodore COM
mandiDg the United States gunboats
engaged in bombarding very strong
rebel position on the Mississippi river
Then l turned again to the window to
have another glance at my horse, who,
looking as if he knew that he was about
to engage in some important expedition,
was champing his bit, and every now
and then rearing up and indulging in a
variety of equine amusements, much to
the delight and amusement of the man.

and down in front of the building. From
what l had heard drop at the mess table
that evening knew it was very i'm
portant that the general commanding
the land forces thirty miles away should
have an answer to the message which l
had conveyed the previous evening BY
twelve o'clock that night, SO began to
think that 1 should have no very easy
task to perform if expected to ride so
great a distance in so short time
through the dark woods and along the
muddy roads. I had been waiting a
half an hour alone, not contemplating
the trip with feelings of very lively sat

LONELINESS.
BY LIEUTENANT. R. E. BEvILLE.

BY LIEUTENANT R. E. BEvILLE.
The azure sky is clouded DER,
The birds have ceased their singing
And darkly sorrows shade once more
Der me its gloom is fiiEging.
No sunlight with its shadow blends;
My heart has left it only
The memory of former friends
Is't strange that am lonely.
The flowers that loved the best
Have blossomed, dropped and faded
The green bank where | loved to rest
By withered leaves is shaded;
And gladly would I breathe the word
Never again to cherish,
Or garden flower, or singing bird,
Or love aught that could perish.
But 'twould be in vain, for still my heart
Around new props is twining,
Still seeking for itself part
In beams around it shining;
Still over some frail, fading thing
Its loving vigil keeping
Alas for the heart that Is cherishing
Joy that must end in weeping.
Oh ! it is mournful for the young
To dwell as have ever,
Where no slight tendril may be flung
But from the heart must sever;
From life's dawn over faded flowers
And crushed hopes to be sighing,
When Springs young buds are in the bowers
Ger the sere leaves round them lying.
Tic a mournfnl lot hut Il "a wilma
Still sadly to the bosom,
Where blushing flowers most brightly twine
To press one faded blossom
In the free flow of the festal song
To hear of sadness only, ... -..
And dwell mid earth's gay, glittering throng
Ever alone and lonely. i-.-,. 81.

At her PROV pilot beaming
In the flush of youth stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming
Like an angel from above;
Through his hair the breezes sported,
And as on the wave he ioated,
Oft that pilot angel throated, t-
Warbled lays of hope and love.
Through those locks so blithely flowing.
Buds of laurel bloom were blowing
And his hands anon were throwing
i.l- Music from Tyre of gold. /.
Softly down the stream he glided,
Soft the purple wave divided,
And rainbow arch abided ' DO
.r- ns On his canvas snowy fold.
Anxious hearts with fond devotion,
Watched him sailing to the ocean,
Prayed that never wild commotion
r.-. Midst the elements might rise.
And he seemed some young Apollo,
Charming Summer winds to follow,
While the water flags corolla
Trembled TO his music sighs.
But those purple waves enchanted,
Rolled beside city haunted, .-. ..
BY an awful spell that daunted
Every conner to her shore.
Night-shades rank the air encumbered,
And pale marble statues numbered
Where the lotus eaters slumbered,
And awoke to life no more.
Then there rushed with lightning quickness
O'er his face mortal sickness,
And the dews in fearful thickness
Gathered DER his temples fair.
And there swept dying murmur
Through the lively Southern Summer
As the beauteous pilot conner
st Perished by that city there.
Still rolls on that radiant river,
And the sun unbinds his quiver
And the starlight streams forever
s.... On its bosom as before. 4
But that vessels rainbow banner
Greets no more the gay savanna.
And that pilots lutte drops mama
On the purple waves no more.
