A FOOT-HOLD.

Hardly steamer that crosses the sea
But carries one traveller more,
For little time, out on the shoreless sea,
Than she counted when leaving the shore.
Blown far away from his mate where she sings,
By the ptiless sea-bound gale,
Lost, and plying his patient wings
Till heart and courage fail
Lost on the shoreless. unknown main,
Blinded with salt white spray,
Dazed with the endless, waving plain,
Scared by the lengthening way;
Lost on the sea, and no land in sight;
Through the heavy and misty AIR
Struggling on through the dark and the light
To terror and mute despair;
Till on the horizon a cloudy speck
Clears to the mast, like tree,
Clears to the solid and ground-ke deci
And he follows it YEARLY.
And clinps and ---"ones' a welcome guest,
A--aSer and tremulous bird,
With the green and blue on his neck and breast
By his hearts hard painting stirred.
Then come pity, and food and drink to the brim,
And shelter from wave and cold;
But the quick head droops and the bright eyes dim,
And the story all is toldl
Pitiful comfort, yet comfort still
Not to drop in the hungry sea,
Keeling down out of the empty height
To that terrible agony.
Bitter and hard to be driven to roam
Between the sea and sky.

Yet it was harder, God He knows,

For the birds that lost when the wild winds rose
When the sea and the sky were all;

And the sea reached up to the sky.
And between them only the wind blew free,
And never ship went byi

A LAM ENT.

Would you ask us why this dunning?
Why these sad complaints and murmers,
Murmers loud about delinquents
Who have read the paper weekly;
Read what they have never paid for;
Read with pleasure and with profit,
Read Of church affairs and prospects,
Read the essays and the poems,
Full Of wisdom and instruction;
Read the table of the markets,
Carefully corrected weekly
Should you ask why this dunnng?
We should answer we should tell you.
From the printer, from the mailer,
From the kind old paper maker,
From the landlord, from the devil"
From the man who taxes letters
With the tax of Uncle Samuel
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him;
From them all there comes a message
Message Kind but firmly spoken.
"Please to pay the bill you owe u.s."
Sad IL is to hear such message
When our funds are all exhausted,
When the last greenback has left us;
When the nickels all have vanished;
Gone to pay the paper maker.
Gone to pay the toiliug printer,
Gone to pay the landlord tribute,
Gone to pay the clerk and devil,
Gone to pay the faithful mailer,
Gone to pay old Uncle Samuel
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him
Gone to pay for beef and Bridget,
Gone TO pay our faithful parson.
Sad 1t is to turn our ledger,
Turn the leaves of this old ledger,
Turn and see what sums are due US,
Due for volumes long since ended,
Due for years of pleasant reading,
Due for years Of anxious labor,
Due despite our anxious waiting,
Due despite our constant dunning,
Due in sums from three to twenty.

INTEMpERANoE IN EATING.-Men and

simple acts of eating and drinking, the
first being a more frequent cause of in

to craving for ignoble things utterly for

a colonel in the Continental army, had
acquired high reputation as military
leader by his services in Canada and at
Hubbardton, and he had long been a
resident of Bennington and was famil-
iarly acquainted with the ground occu-
pied by the posts of the enemy and their
approaches. He was Starks chief ad-
wiser in planning the attack on the enc
my, he went into the action by his side
and was his active associate in the first
engagement, as we'll as in repelling the
attack of Breyman's reinforcement. DR..
Thatcher, in his contemporary Military
Journal, says, "Stark, assisted by War
ner, matured his plans for the battle,
and Stark himself, in his letter to Gates,
after speaking in the highest terms of
the daring bravery of the officers and
soldiers under his command, says, ''Col.
Warmers superior skill in the action was
of extraordinary service to me-" Gordon
in his history also speaks highly of the
services of Col. Warner, and also of
those of Col. Herrick of the Vermont
Rangers. Other officers and men de-
serve notice for their meritorieus exer-
tions in gaining the victory, but the
space allowed for this article will not
permit it. There are also numerous in
teresting incidents connected with the
battle that must for the like reason be
omitted. 1t has been only possible to

Gen. Stark from his arrival at Man
chester acted in concert with the Yer
mont Council of Safety and received
their earnest countenance and support
in all his movements, which were duly
appreciated by him as is shown by
publication in the Connecticut CoarGnt
over his own signature in which he pass
ed on the Council high eulogium for
their patriotic exertions and services.
When the Congress at Philadelphia
was informed of Gen. Stark's declining
to move his force from Manchester to
the west side of the Hudson, as before
nenVloneo, " EVSVl~. passed disap-
proving of it. But after the wisdom of
his conduct in that respect had been de-
monstrated by his victory and its fortu-
nate effect on the campaign, they came
tardily to the determination to do him
full justice by approving his patriotic
services and restoring him to his merit
ed rank in the army.
On the 4th day of October, 1777,
Congress unanimously passed the follow
ing resolution:
ReSoiUed, That the thanks of Con-
gress be presente to Gen. Stark of the
New Hampshire militia, and the officers
and troops under his command, for their
brave and successful attack upon, and
signal victory over the enemy IN their
lines at Bennington; and that Brigadier
Stark be appointed Brigadier General
in the army of the United States.
Two weeks after the passage of this
resolution by Congress, on the 18th of
October, the event which Stark's victory
at Bennington had clearly foreshadowed
and made certain, was accomplished by
the surrender of Burgoyne and his army
as prisoners of war, to the American
forces at Saratoga.

o A FEW weeks ago a Treasury detec-

ellie old man, who said he had claim
from the government due. him. LIN con-

learned that the old man was scarcely

ply knew that the government owed him
some money for some vague reason, and
one OF his neighbors, pettifogging law

detective returned to Washington, hunted
mp the claim, got copies OF the docll.
ments, and returned to the old man.
The amount allowed by the Southern
Claims commission was between $4,000
and $4,000. The amount originally
asked for was $4,000. The affidayits OF,
which its payment was ordered set forth
that the old man lost several thousand
dollars worth of garden produce; thirty
or iorty tons of hay; drove of stock
and 2, 900 rails. The detective question.
