Sergeant Bates has been asked to undertake
trip through New England, which, however,
he promptly declined on grounds of being ex
tremely hazardous to life and property The
proposition is that the Sergeant shall undertake
trip through all the New England States lex
cept Connecticut,) carrying the flag, and to start
on the journey without money, and in all other
respects the same as he did in his late tour
through the South. The soldier gives the fol-
lowing reasons why such an undertaking woulo
be great risk Erst-To undertake journey
through the New England States without
money is equivalent to starvation Second
To travel through that region with money he
ran great risk of being robbed on the way

Too Late I Stayed.

Unheeded few the hours:
How noiseless falls the foot of Time
That only treads on flowers
And who, with clear account, remarks
The ebbings of his glass,
When all its sands are diamond sparks,
That dazzle as they pass eaia
Ahl who to sober measurement
Times happy swiftness brings,
When birds of Paradise have lent
Their plumage to his wings?

give back Medor to the lady, else he saw
that Medor would surely die. He turned
up the hill and came to the top.
At the same moment, the lady came
up the hill from the other side; she, too,
out of pity for Medor, and resolved to
sacrifice her own feelings and suffer Ca
bassol to keep the beloved dog. They
met at the top over the poor fellow who
was now wagging his tail in feeble man
ner to express his delight.
But how could they make the poor an
nimal submit to a new separation If he
were to go with either alone it would
break his heart
Cabassol reflected. He saw one way
of getting out of the difficulty, and that
was to marry the lady. Would she have
him? Yes, for Medor's sake And SO
they married to please the dog; and Ca
bassol came to say, as l told you at first

and mother, son and daughter, and dog
