music shops in Manchester was lately
surprised by the entrance OF a collier, in
his week day dress. "Aw wants a pc.

THE DEAD MARINER,
BY GEO. D. PRENTICE.

- ~ BY GEO. d. PRENTICE.
Sleep on-sleep on-above thy corso
The winds their Sabbath keep;
The wave is round thee, and thy breast
Heayes with the heaying deep;
Ger the mild eve her beauty filings,
And there the white gull lifts her wings.
And the blue haloyon loves TO lave
Her plnmage in the holy wave.
Sleep on-no willow DER thee bends
With melancholy air;
No violet springs, nor dewy rose
It's soul of love lays bare; .E.#
But there the tea iower, gay and young,
Is sweetly o'er thy slumbers flung.
And like weeping mOurner fair,
The pale flag hangs its tresses there,
Sleep on sleep on the glittering depths
0fOcean's cora, caves
I Are thy bright urn. thy requiem
The music Of its wayei
The purple gems forever burn
In fadeless beauty round thy urn,
And pure and deep a. infant love,
The blue sea rolls its waves above.
Sleep on-sleep on the fearful wrath
0fmingling cloud and deep
May leave its wild and stormy track
Above the place of sleeps;
But when the wave has sunk in rest,
And now, twill murmur o. er thy breast,
And the bright victim of the sea
Perchance will make his home with thee.
Sleep on-thy corse is far away.
But love bewails thee yet;
For thee the heart Wrung sigh is breathed, I,
And lovely eyes are wetI
And she. thy young and beauteops bride,
Her thoughts are lowering BY thy side,
As oft she turns to view with tears
The Eden Of departed years.

A PRISONER FOR ONE NIGHT
How General Bragg's Battle Order
Came Near Falling into the
Hands Of the Enemy on
J lit the Eve Of the Battle
OF MurfreesbOrO.
BY GEORGE W. GIFT.

Amongst the hundreds of war Incl
dents, interesting and thrilling, treas
ure but few of more value than the fol
lowing. 1t occurred on the eve of the
great battle of Murfreesboro, and think
will repay a perusal:
As everybody knows, Rosecrans came
from Nashville and pushed the advanced
Confederate posts up to the north side
Of Stone river, until the two armies
stood facing. AS they approached
nearer and nearer the designs of each
became of more interest to the other.
AS it was General bragg's purpose to
lead his opponent up to certain point
by remaining on the defensive, and then
spring suddenly forward and
DELIVER A sTINGIYG BLOW,
which to be effective mast be a surprise,
therefore he shut every avenue through
which the enemy could possibly gain in
telligence, and gave extra attention to
strengthening positions in his front, in
order to keep the enemy at a distance
until the moment arrived for unloosen-
ing the thunderbolt.
As we said at the beginning, it was
on the eve of the great battle, and the
two armies stood glaring at each other
acrsss the small stream already named.
AS the combatants had drawn nearer
together the piokets had been augmented
from time to time, until now regiment
and a section of artillery was q neces-
sary force where dozen privates under
a sUbalteFn bad been sufficient week
before.
Matters were thus growing hot and ex-
citing, when Major John Ingram, Adju-
taHt General on the staff of Major Cen
eral Chsatbam, rode TO the front TO put
q regiment OF infantry in position to
picket a part of the line which had
been assigned to General Cheatham TO
guard. After stationing the troops who
concealed themselves behind stone
fence, the Major, with a companion,
galloped TO the front q few hundred
yards to II
SEE EHAETON's cAvALT cHAB0E
SEINE Equadrons Of the enemy's horse
which had come in view. The scene was
Of the most fascinating character posi-
bic. Our troopers advanced 20 the
charge across an open field and scat
tered the enemy before them. Carried
away BY the excitement the two officers
incautiously proceeded to slight eleva-
ton in 'front.' where they could see the
blue coat horsemen flying in all direc-
tions. This was glorious sport, and In
gram and his friend waved their caps
and clapped their hands in great glee,
and weuld doubtless have told q ine
story that night at the mess table il they
had only had an opportunity. But that
opportunity was not 10 occur. Turning
10 retrace their steps they saw q body Of
the enemy's cavalry in their rear and
80 near them that escape was out Of the
question. To add 70 the dismAy Of the
Major came the ihonEhi that he had in
