1.-THE BLACK REGIMENT"
PORT HUDSON, MAY 81, 1868.

PORT HUDSON, MAY 81, 1868.
Dark as the clouds of even,
Ranked in the Western Heaven,
Waiting the breath that lifts
All the dread mass, and drifts
Tempest and falling brand
Over ruined land;
So still and orderly,
Arm to arm, knee to knee,
Waiting the great event,
Stands the black regiment.
Down the long dusky line
Teeth CLEAN, and eyeballs shine;
And the bright bayonet,
Bristling, and firmly set,
Flashed with purpose grand,
Long ere the sharp command
OF the fierce rolling drum
Told them their time had come;
Told them what word was sent
For the black regiment.
"Now," the flag sergeant cried,
OCdLh clI4 NTH OCLldCt
Let the whole nation see
If we are fit to be
Free in this land; or bound
Down, like the whining hound.
Bound, with red stripes of pain,
In our old chains again !! -
Oh! what a shout there went
From the black regiment.
"Charge!" Trump and drum awoke
Onward the bondmeu broke;
Bayonet and sabre stroke
Vainly opposed their rush
Through the wild battles crush,
With but one thought ahush
Driving their lords like chaff,
In the guns mouths they laugh;
Or at the slippery brands
Leaping with open hands,
Down they tear man and horse
Down in their awful course,
Trampling with bloody heel
Over the crashing STEEL
All their eyes forward bent,
Rushed the black regiment.
Freedom !" their battle-cry-
"Freedom or leave to die ~
All and they meant the word,
Not as with US It's heard,
Not mere party shout;
They gave their spirits out;
Trusted the end to God,
And on the CORY sod
Rolled in triumphant blood.
Glad to strike one free blow,
Whether for veal or woe;
Glad to breathe one free breath,
Though on the lips of death
Praying-alas in vain -
That they might fall again,
So they would once more see
That burst to liberty!
This was what "freedom" lent
To the black regiment.
Hundreds or hundreds fell;
But they are resting well;
Scourges and shackles strong
Never shall do them wrong.
o, to the living few,
Soldiers be just and true!
Hail them as comrades tried;
Fight with them side by side;
Never in field or tent
Scorn the black regiment.

How American Watches
Are Made.

The American Waltham Watch is made by
no such uncertain process by no such
incompetent workmen. All the Company's
operations. from the reception of the raw ma
terials to the completion of the Watch, are
carried on under one roof, and under one
skillful and competent direction. But
the great distinguishing feature of their
Watches. is the fact that their several parts
are all made by the finest, the most perfect
and delicate machinery ever brought to the
aid of human industry. Every one of the
more than hundred parts of every watch is
made by machine--that infallibly repro
| duces every succeeding part with the most
unvarying accuracy. 1t was only necessary
to make one perfect watch of any particular
style and then to adjust the hundred ma
that watch. and it follows that every succeed
ing watch must be like il.
| The Company respectfully submit their
watches on their merits only. They claim
| to make
Better Article For The Money,
by their improved mechanical process than
can be made under the Oldfashioned handi-
craft system. They manufacture watches of
every grade. from good. low priced and
substantial article, in solid silver hunting
cases, to the finest chronometer and also
ladies watches in plain Gold or the finest en-
ameled and jeweled cases but the indspens-
able requisite of all their watches is that they
shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. 1t should
be remembered that, except their single low
est grade named Home Watch Company.

Are Fully Warranted
by special certificate, and this warrantee is
good at all times against the Company or its

SUSCEPTIBLE GIRLS.

There is an essential difference between ro-
mantle and susceptible woman. A suscepti-
bic woman is one who possesses what are called
the finer feelings of our nature 10 the highest
state of irritation. She generally has brains,
which the romantic woman has not. She cui-
tivates her special taste with the utmost assdu-
ity. She never allows it to rust for want of EN-.
ployment, or to sicken from want of care. She
preserves the vitality of her emotions by con-
stantly exercising them. Nor is the suscepti-
BILE lady particular in her choice of objects.
Although she will, as girl, fix on man in
preference to cat or parrott, still, sooner
than want subject, she will love one Of her
own SEX With her, love means simple fetch
worship of the present idol. Although she
changes them constantly, for the time they have
no cause to complain of her devotion.
Susceptible girls are generous. They are
generous even beyond the generosity which
arises from their abnormal softness. Giving
with them is a pure satisfaction. They are con.
stantly Imagining the effects of their bounty
upon the recipient, and in the enjoyment re-
ceived they feel they are more than justified in
the outlay Love is difficult and almost in-
accessible sentiment to them. They will have
favorites rather than lovers. The growth of
passion is constantly checked and crossed by
other eaprices of susceptibility. Besides, the
susceptible girl has generally rather refined
nature She lives in fancies, and prefers to
dream and 90 into reveries over fifty splendid
creatures with violent eyes, dropping nustaches,
and heavy dragoon proportions, to believing IN
the homage of an ordinary or an ugly person
age who can scarcely be idealized suffc iently
in the crucible of her Imagination. She suffers
of course from emotion waste. Her affairs of
the heart are duplicated. She is as miserable
at the coldness of her darling Blanche or Emily
as she would be at the sudden GOODNESS of man
who had been sangune enough TO think he
could enter the lists against every attractive
male and female who might come in the path
of the susceptible lady. ~''t ..=i@z .
Susceptible women, if they can be caught
and broken 10 by Kindness make the best wives
and mothers; but unless cured before marriage
they are never healthy afterward. A married
susceptible woman, who brings to her husbands
house the friends Of her youth without consult
ing his views, is in bad way for him aud for
herself.-Loadon ReUieo. # g..

SCENE A CHuRcH.-At L, on Sunday
evening, falgued by his long journey, wagner
and his son John drove the team into good
range and determined to pass the Sabbath en-
joying season of worship with the good folks of
the village. When the time for worship arrived,
John set to watch the team, while the wag-
oner went in with the crowd The preacher had
hardly announced bis subject before the old man
fell asleep. He sat against the partition in the
centre Of the body-s!ip; while just against him,
separated only 10y the very low partition, sat a
fleshy lady, who seemed all absorbed in the SER
mon. She struggled hard with feelings, until
unable to control them any longer she burst out
with loud scream. rousing the old man halt
awake, who thrust his around her waist and
cried very soothingly:
"Wo, Nance wo, Nance Here, John, cut
the belly y-band and loose the breeding, quick.
or she'll tear everything to pieces ?"
1t all the work of a moment, but the sis
ter forgot to shout, the preacher lost the thread
of his discourse, aud the meeting came prema-
tureIy to an end, while deeply mortified the old
man skulked away, determined not to 60 to meet
ing again until he could manage to keep his
senses by remaining awake. -.
