MY SOUL.
BY XARIFFA.

My soul unto my heart did thus complain
"How long, oh Jailer. wilt thou here detain
My restless spirit?
how long ere may seek in yonder skies,
The hallowed and the unccnceved of prize
That souls inherit
How long ere Tine, the High Priest, comes to
lay
his hand upon this dungeon door of clay
And break its bars,
And set me free from mortal fears and feuds
To seek the grand and solemn sohtudes
Among the stars?
Oh, heart the heavenly spirits earthly twin,
Oh mortal, locking the immortal in
With human keys,
Have mercy Hide awhile thy watchful face,
And let my prisoned pnions fly to trace
Eternities
And yet, oh tender, though most cruel heart
Eve much to thank theesfor before we part,
To reioin never,
Ere Times last billows l for aye have sounded,
Ere the dim and misty cape have rounded
Of the Forever!
| from Life's clambering vines rich blooms have
plucled,
And from its sweetest fruits my, lips have sucked
Delicious juices;
And l have quafed that essence from above
That only heavenly thing, pure, faithful Love,
Which Life produces.
The golden chalice of existence lifted
Hlgh on the wave into my grasp was drifted-
Its luscious wine
Tn 10 A.,
And o er the brim to the lips athirsting sparkled
In draughts divine
In thy stern keeping have grown the wings
Now fiedged and pining for far nobler things
Oh, guardian heartl
Too long I've fettered been to earths cold floor,
I've loved and been beloved; there is no more
Now let us part.
hear thee build the scaffold of my years,
Of sorrows, smiles, few hopes and many fears,
AS days diminish
[ hear thy thick throbs fall like hammer blows,
Here muiiied by thorn, and there rose
When wilt thou finish?
When comes the hour-at midnight, dawn or
day,
When thou wilt draw these bolts and bars away
With bated breath
And ope for me the portals Of this place,
And bid me that grim Executioner face,
Relentless Death
Death, at whose hands we find our noblest birth
Who frees us from the swaddling clothes of
earth
And all is harms
Who rocks the cradle of Eternity,
And lays US loving, grateful, glad and free,
In Gods own arms

the mount and formed their lines-the Clergy,

ORGANIZATION OF VOLUNTEER CoRps.-
The following additional order in relation to
the organization of the volunteer companies of
the State has been issued by Adjutant-General
Richardson
''ADJUTANT-GENERAL's OFFICE,
"July 20, 1871.
'To facilitate the organization of the Volun-
teer Corps required by the Constitution, par
ticular attention is necessary to the act of As
semby 'to provide for the reorganization of
the militia" approved March 30, 1871, espe-
cially to sections IA to q, inclusive:
''As that act did not take effect until the first
day of May last, election of officers prior to
that date were premature and must be made
anew, or confirmed by vote of the several COM
panes which have been enrolled
1.-The successive steps to be taken in the Or
ganization are:
81. The enrolment of companies of men La
bic to militia duty, consisting of not less than
60 nor more than 100 men rank and file, for five
years service.
So The election by the members of each
company Of one captain and three leutenants,
which election must be certified by the person
who prosides at the election where such cleo
tions were made, and promptly certified by him
to the Governor through the Adjutant-Gene-
raj.
49, 1t is the duty of. the company officers so
elected to apply Immediately thereafter for ex-
animation by the boards appointed for that
purpose, and if found to be qualified according
to law to transmit one copy of the certificate OF
the board to the Governor. and one to the Ad-
jutaut-General without delay.
a. 1t is the duty of each captain, lmme-
diately upon his election, to make of a roll OF
all the members of the company who have
agreed to enlist therein and sue. such ar are eOnsid
would. however, be more accordant with mill
tarv usage for each member to subscribe the roll
himself, and for the Captain to transmit that
as an authentic copy to the Adjutant-G Generals
! Office. -
5. ssIf an officer fails for one month after his
election to apply for examination to the Board
of Examiners, or if, upon examination, fails to
receive certificate of qualification from the
board, his election will be void.
''The commander-in- chief will commission
and arm the volunteer corps as soon as they
shall put it in his power to do so.

a Spunky Girl Married.

Sioux City last winter had Ladies' Society,
and they had dinner, and speeches, and
general vowlng all around that they would lead
single life, aud eschew the naughty men for
ever But it is said there is generally black
sheep in the flock, and SO it seemed there was
one In this. While vowing vengeance on the
male sex, these decaying sisters were dumb
founded by one of their number, Miss Panthea
Il. Kennedy, who arose and most charmingly
flung into their midst the following bit of trea-
son to oelibacy:
Sisters in waiting-all for husbands-we
have met because we can't help ourselves, to
celebrate this as day of thanksgiving, as ap-
pointed by our Chief Magistrate. But tell
me, is 1t to US really day of thanksgiving p
No, sisters; rather should we call it is day of
mourning-and for what? For husbands J.
Yes, sisters, for husbands, which We feel we
need, lat least do,) and also much desire
Talk tom OF woman's rights We have all
the rights we desire, if the men would only
propose. Why don't the men propose, mann
ma, why don't the men propose? | don't
know how you all feel about it, but do know
If the right man comes along and makes me
an offer, L won't be at your next dinner No,
sisters, you may talk as you will about woman's
independence, it is all folly; we are always de-
pendent; and upon man. You may say what
you like as to our being mans superior, or
mans help-meet, or Natures noblest work, all
Of which man will grant us. But what pleas
ure or happiness can we have In our weary pill
grimage through life without mans protec-
ting hand and care over us? None, sisters,
none and let others do as they WILL for me, [
am determined to have one. And I will here
volunteer piece of gratuitous advice, and
that is, for each of you to go and do likewise.
What other relation in life so honorable as a
man's companion, the wife of a loving, kind,
affectionate husband? None and in order to
become such let US cultivate and practise all
those virtues that so much adorn our station
and that man so much admires, and my word
for it, We will find husbands worthy of us. We
know that men love u.s. know that in our
smile exists the poet s inspiration and the po-
cts reward and we also know that for US pa
triots have died." Man is never so happy as
when In ouI company, or rendering US favor,
and why is it that each of US can't have one?
Let us see to it while it is called to-day, so that
when another Thanksgiving Day rolls around,
there will not be an old maid in Sioux City,"

IT is recorded that a Rev. Benjamin
Eaton, of Galveston, while preaching
in the pulpit of his church recently OH
the awfulness of sudden death, fell,
and died almost instantly. This case
may appear to be a coincidence but
it is nothing of the kind. Mr.. Eaton
had probably worked himself up to a
high pitch of excitement in the effort
to create q profound interest in his
theme in the minds of his audience,
and in so doing agitated himself 70
such an extent that, being subject TO
heart disease, he expired under the
strength of his own feelings acting
upon the heart. It is another warning,
in a medical sense. to people afflicted
with heart disease not to excite them
selves to too great an extent. The in
dividual who suffers from this mnlady
should, in his humble sphere, lead the
quiet life of the Sybarite, the lotus
eater, or the dweller in Cathay. Let
him take life philosophically, avoid
contention with his fellows, or any
great mental or bodily exertion,. keep
a clear conscience. and abide his time.
1t will come soon enough; but by OBJ
serving the above rules, his closing
scene will take some more normal
shape than that which has illustrated
and made noticeable the case of Rev.
Benjamin Eaton, of Trinity Chu: Oh,
