\ succinct recaptulation of previous
numbers places us at one period beardless
boy in our 'teens, vending our way alone
from the banks of the romantic stream
Brandywine, of revolution fame, few miles
below where the gallant Lafayette shed his
first blood in the sacred cause of American
liberty; thence to Pittsburg, Pa, whence
we assembled the far-famed Ohio river to
Cincinnati; thence TO a small manufacture
ing village, WOODBURY., Montgomery
county, Ohio, some few miles south of Day
ton, then a fiourishing town situated on
one bank of the greater Miami river, also
near the mouth of Mad river. Here the
writer assisted to erect the first mill on the
bank of the latter river to saw marble into
slabs and for other purposes, also for grind
ing sicl<les. At that period, Improvement
in manufactures was newly dawning,
especially in that section. Woodburn con-
tanned one cotton mill and foundry, and
employed about forty or fifty operatives in
the different departments, but went down.
as stated, and we were dispersed in quest
of employment in other sections.
The writer went to Columbus and
Worthing, thence to Chilicothe and Cincin-
natl. Here | engaged in carpentry for the
winter, it being in the fall / arrived there
In March of the spring following, We
Mason and myself, left Cincinnati for ST.
Louis, Mo. On arriving at ShawnectOwn,
ILL.,, we found it a second epistle to .~udom
Human nature in the crudest and most
corrupted shades of its fallen condition in
an ostensibly civilized country was cxhib-
tied while we remained. We thence pro-
ceeded on toward our destination. When
we reached the United States Saline Works
our attention was directed to quito Il dis
couragement by our host, directly from St.
Louis. That city at the time alluded to
was nearly deserted by its population, by
reason of a plague called the black vomit.
Here we turned Ourcourse of travel to Ten
nessce. The remaindej y. our history is
confined TO this thCater, Virginia and
Georgia, thence TO Tennessee again.
During the late war we were in charge
and command of the mail and mail escort
| from NorristOwn To Cumberland Gap. Cap
tains Balasche, Lunt and Chamberlain
were the gentlemanly quartermasters du-
ring our relation to this service. This YOU
must remember was after my imprison-
ment by the Confederates. My route lay
| through Il section infested by Southern
troops, and if reported truly, an eXpedi-
ton was sent through Mulberry Gap to
capture me and my escort. Capt. Dossett
since Maj. Dossett, Federal was on hand
in the vicinity where the capture was an
tlcipated, and addressed himself warmly to
the squad, capturing some and dcmorali-
Zlng the rest. SO we were rescued that
time, for we were not fully armed, nor had
We our complement of men at that time to
complete our proper force. During the
| Tune OF this service two alarms of the enc
my apprOach-one at MorrstOwn and the
other at the Gap-occurred, but both pass
ed off harmlessly.

The PRUssIAN TACTICs.-A more per-
feet system of organization it is difficult to
imagine. The columns Of provisions creep
like great serpents over the country. The
active detachments of telegraph men push
on with their light poles set up at intervals
and their slowly decreasing coils of wire
and their field post office brings letters to
the different divisions. From side to side
for many Il mile, the whole country is on
the move. Now regiment of cavalry
goes by with infinite jingling Of harness
and Gathering of hoofs. Now the bayonets
of the infantry shine out among the trees,
or there il an interminable train of runs
dragged past. | fancy that the villagers
are simply astounded at what they see, and
think that all Germany is upon them. The
soldiers laugh, and tell Of the other two
great armies which are invading France.
The fatherland is quite safe. The war has
scarcely troubled Il single German village,
not one on this part of the line, and rain
as it may, the men are thoroughly cheer
full.

BY WILLIAM II. LYTLE.

/ am dying. Egypt, dying
Ebbs the crimson lite-tide fast,
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast;
Let thine arm, oh Queen, entold me,
Hush ,hy sJbs and bow thine ear.
Listen % the great heart secrets
Thou AMI thou alone must hear.
Though ruy Scared and veteran legions
Bear their eagle, nigh no more,
And my wrecked and scattered galleys
Strew dark Actium's fatal shore;
Though no glittering guards surround me.
Prompt 10 do their master viii,
| must perish like a Roman,
Die the great Triumvir still.
Let not Cesar seryile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no fOemans arm that teileu him,
Twas his own that struck the blow
His who, pillowed on thy bosom,
Turned away from glory ray
His who, drunk with thy caresses,
Madly threw world away.
Should the base plebeian rabble
Dare assail my name at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, OctaYia,
Weeps within her widowed home;
Seek her. say the Gods bear witness,
Affairs, augurs, circling wings,
That her blood with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount the throne Of kings.
And Tor thee, star-eyed Egyptian
Glorious sorceress of the Nile,
Light the path TO Stygian horrors
With the splendors Of thy smile;
Give the Caesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel Irvine,
l can scorn the Senates triumph-,
Triumphiug in love like thine.

Hark the insulting foemluis eryi

Let me front them ere ! die.

there were any residents from the Ninth and Fiji

COLORED ORPHAN ASYLUM.

Annual Meeting Of the Managers.
The thirty-fourtn annual meeting OF the managers
OF this institution held yesterday, at the house
OF Mrs. G. II. Lander No. East Fourteenth street.
Mrs. Augustus Fabcr First Directress, presided.
Previous to proceeding with the regular business
a resolution was adopted to apply 70 the Legislature
to amend the charter OF the association that 1t
may hold real estate bequeathed 10 it, and also 10
authorize 1t 10 receive destitute as well as orphan
children.
The annual report states that not many children
had been received last the previous year. Situa-
tons had been obtained for several, who were I'm.
mediately received as indeniured apprentices; the
demand for girls far exceeds the supply.
The nursery was much crowded, there being about
thirty In IT at the present time.
There had been much sickness during the year,
hut ne epidemic. Elementary education is all
that is attempted AZ the institution. Some 30g had
received instruction during the year and Eve teach
was stated, gave evidence Of capabiity for high
mental training Tile work OF the thirry-tour years
OF the existence OF the institution afforded no cause
for encouragement, and the managers believe thar
the cause OF the cSlored people had prospercd III
their hands.
There are at present 27O children in the institn-
tiOn five have been returned TO their parents ana
two had peen returned by their masters.
The medical report showed tho mortality for the
year to have been ten boys and three girls. and
about 1850 had been under treatment. Pulmonary
consumption appeared TO be the prevailing disease,
and 1t was suggested that arrangements should be
made for the removal or those cases greater dis
,ance from tho salt water. Newbulg was mentioned
as being an excellent location.
