The Seven DAYS Fight.

The seven days fighting, although
decided confederate victory, was
succession of mishaps. If Jackson
had arrived on the 26th-the day of
his own selection the federals would
have been driven back from Mechanics
vile without battle. HIS delay there,
caused by distractions placed in his
road by the enemy, was his first mis-
hap. He was too late in entering the
fight at Gaines mill, and the destruc-
tion of Grapevine bridge kept him;
from reaching Frayser's farm untili
the day after the battle. If he had
been there, we might have destroyed
or captured McClellans army. Huger
was in position for the battle of Fray
ser's farm, and after his batteries had
misled me into opening the fight he
subsidized. Holmes and Magruder, who
were on the New Market road to at
tack the federals as they passed that
way, failed to do so.
Gen. McClellan'S retreat was sue
cessfully managed; therefore, we must
give it credit for being well managed.
He had 115, 900 men, and insisted to
the authorities at Washington that Lee
had 200, 900. In fact Lee had only,
90, 900. Gen. McClellan's plan to take
Richmond by siege was wise enough
and it would have been success if
the confederates had consented to such
a programme. In spite of McClellan's
excellent plans, Gen. Lee, with force
inferior in numbers, completely routed
him, and while suffering less than
Mcclellan, captured over 10000 of his
men, Gen. Lees plans in the seven
days fight were excellent, but were
poorly executed. Gen. Mcclellan was
very accomplished soldier and a
very able engineer, but hardly equal
to the position of tield-marshal as
military chieftan. He organized the
Army of the Potomac cleverly, but did
not handle it skillfully when in actual
battle. Still | doubt if his retreat
could have been better handled, though
the rear of his army should have been
more positively either in his own
hands or in the hands OF Sumner

THE DIAMOND NECKLACE.

born as if by mistake of destiny, into
family of laborers. She had no dowry,
no prospects, no way of becoming
known, loved, and married by rich
and distinguished man; and she gave
her hand to n petty clerk of the Bureau
of Public Instruction.
She was as wretched as a disinherited
princess. A woman's beauty and
grace take the place of birth and fam
lily. Her native refinement, her in
stinct for elegance, her facile wit, are
the seal OF royalty, and make a daugh-

covered with thrice used cloth, oppo-

SISYPHUS.

The flush OF the dawning day
Steals up o'er the brow OF nfghtS
The wood-thrush's tender lay
is the echo OF lost delight.
Slave TO mere less code,
Again up the toilsomc road
roll the burden of pain
Numbing my heart and brain,
While the clank of my cruel chain
Rises, a sad refrain,
To the gods In their best abode.
Rouse, heart the sunlight falls
In a scntillant, golden showery
The scent Of leaf and flower
The radiance that entbralls,
The gods best gifts to men,
They all are mine again.
He only is servile slave
Who diggeth for Hope grave;
Who wears as jewel rare
His burden of toll and care,
Who meets defeat with a song,
Who suffers and still is strong,
Oulwittcth the iicnd Despair.
Throb on, oh dauntiess heart
Wake birds with jubilant voicei
Thou sorrowing earth rejoice
Crush back the tears that startl
Freed from burden and chain
In my strength | shall rise again
Where the billOws Of silence roll;
BY the hope in my inmost soul
AT last shall reach the goal:
Where the palm OF victory mods
That stands in the holy place,
shall meet the fateful gods
And brave them face TO facet

more:
"Let us see, Matbilde. How much

She reflected few seconds, count

question the amount which she could
ask for without calling forth an inn

husband.

to lend you some jewels. You
are quite intimate enough with her to
do that"
The next day accordingly, she told
her perplexity to Ter friend.
Nine. forester brought large case
from her cabinet, and told Mathilde to
take her choice.
She looked at bracelets, at n
pearl necklace, and a Venetian
cross. She tried on the Jewels be-
up her mind to give them up. She kept
asking:
"Have you not something elsep'
Suddenly she discovered in black
satin box, a magnificent chain of dia-
monds, and her heart began to beat
with immoderate desire. She seized
it with trembling hands. She clasped
it around her throat, oyer her high
dress, and looked at herself in ecsta-
cy. Then she asked, hesitating, full
of trouble:
"Can you lend me that, only thatp'
''Why, yes; certainly"
She rushed to her friend, embraced
her passionately, then bore her treas

AT the ball Mathilde was prettier
than all the others, elegant, smiling,
and intoxicated with pleasure. All
the men looked at her, asking her

made and the latest London newspapers,
containing accounts of the Royal progress,
were burned in a bonfire. After the mass
meeting the Nationalists scattered through

200 men. Doors and windows were
smashed, flags and decorations were torn
down and hcaped on blazing bonfires and
many gun stores were broken into for the
purpose of arming the mob Policemen
encountered singly or in small squads were
attacked and beaten numerically with
their own trunchions. In many cases the
police rallied and charged desperately upon
the mob, but they were invariably sur

resorted to free use oftheir revolvers and

the most desperate sort, the police standing

at least three weeks before the vacancy
