The Ministry of woman.

How beautiful the ministry
OF woman's gentle hand !
How soft loves attributes, that spring
At her divine command!
For veal or woe, for good or i'll,
About mans careless life
She weaves the blossoms Of her heart,
As mother, maid or wife
She leads his feet up from the pit !
She bids his spirit rise!
Sometimes by her superior will,
Sometimes by pleading eyes.
Or else she lures him from the heights
To darkest depths below! y!
From peace and joy, aud love ant
heaven,
To bitterness and woe!
j o woman! lovely womankind! !
Be careful how you play
The role of queen, in this your realm,
To him whom you may sway!

In a recent number Of the Alba
ny On. " Express appears the
following in relation to Major Egg
gleston: The doors Of our psni-
tentiary closed upon a young man
on Thursday whose brief history
is indeed a sad one. His name is
Virgil S. Eggleston, and he fell
from one of the most responsible
and honored positions in the army
Of the United States. Born of
greatly respected parents in the
village of Palmyra, in this State,
he received a good education and
was prepared to discharge with
credit and intelligence the duties
of a worthy If not a prominent
member of society. He possessed
influential friends, who secured
him a position in the Paymaster
Generals department of the army.
While residing in Washington and
performing with fidelity the duties
of a clerk in the employ of the
Government he became acquaint-
cd with the daughter of Henry
Wilson's landlady, and eloped with
her. They were married and re !.
turned to the maternal domicil.
Mr.. Wilson now interested him
self in the young man, whose
character was excellent, morals
unexceptionable, and intelligence
superior. With the assistance Of
Of their friends, Mr.. Wilson pro-
cured for young Eggleston the po-
sitiOn of paymaster in the regular
army, With the rank of Major. His
appointment was one of the last
acts of Andrew Johnson's admin
Iistratien. The fact that he had
Ibeen taken from civil life and CIV
en- position in the army which
50 many lieutenants and captains
coveted, caused Eggleston to be
regarded with jealous eye, and
from the start he was unpopular in
the service. However, be was
sent to Oregon and went thither,
taking with him his young wife,
giddy, thoughtless creature, over
whose career subsequently We win
draw the veil of silence. Major
Eggleston was in the Modoc war,
and was one of the first to enter
the lava beds after the cruel muir
der of General Candy. His hero
ism gained him some favor with
the officers, and his military caresr
now became more promising. The
subsequent discovery of his wife's
conduct made him desperate, and
for the first time in his life be be-
came reckless and engaged in
life of wild disorder and dissipa-
ton. The more he tried to do for
her the worse she grew. Debts
multiplied and sorrow filed his
cup to overfowing. At last he
began to use the public money to
meet his own and wife's extrava-
gances. The sum of $4,000 had
been embezzled and squandered
when he was arrested, tried by
court-martial and sentenced to be
cashiered and imprisoned in our
penitentiary for the period Of FIVE
years, and to remain in con6ne-
ment until the amount of money
was restored to the government,
which practically amounted to
life sentence. President Grant
approved the proceedings of the
court, but with a generous endorse
ment regarding Eggleston's brav-
cry in the Modoo war, fixing the
limit of the imprisonment at ten
years.
