AT ALDENs.


We were sitting BY the chimney,
In the hearth fires fickeriug light,
On the cliff, in Aldcn's cottage,
Where rested FOR the night;
And told the scenes NJ 4 customs
OF the lands beyond the sea;
While old Aldeu's little daughter
Sat and listened at my knee.
III her bluecyed radiant beauty
There vas something ahy and wild.
And the inaden's romance mingled
With tho wondor Of the child.
Hours had passed, the old sca captain
In ha armchair duzcd and dreamed.
Sadly moaned the noighboring ocean,
'Gainst the panes the lrelght CLEANED.
Then she spoke Of knights and Journeys,
Ard her checks were all aglow,
For all day that little maiden
Had been reHdmg "ivanhoc,"
Spoke Of ghosts nnd of magicians,
While her voice to whispers grew,
Toward the panes cast startled glances,
Wondered II such things were tlue.
And inprovised a story
Fit for such place and hour
How, for long years by the ocean,
In cruel fairy'e power.
Lived a little maiden enchanted.
Till her faithful knight, one dny
While hei guardian fierce was sleeping.
| Stole that little mail away.
As spoke, her blue eyes twinkled
| With Il merry MYSTIC Huht.
AS spoke. she roso and fingered
In the door to say Good night"
But her lamp threw such radiance
Round the roguish, pretty head,
That swiftly Htooped aud kissed her,
And she bluAhed and laughed and fled.
When came once more to Aldcl,'s
D eheld mOnrDful change,
For the little maid had vanished
Aud the house SEQ med sad onh strange.
Alden's pals, eaunt look ioreshadowrd
What bis qniverine lips would eay,
And ! grasped bis hand in silence
Aud IN silence turned away.
All the proud and cherished strnctnres
by q life long patience wrought.
Al the tiiumphs which have followed
Days of toll and nights Of thousht,
Crrnible. sink away, aud vanish,
Like the ocean = shifting aand.
I When that sweet face comes before me,
That lost dream Of iairy-iand.

THOMPSON'S STATION
How Col. Coburn Surrendered to Forrest,
March 5, 1863.

Alter the battle of Stone River, in the first
days of january, 1868, the Army of the Cum
berland, under Rosecrans, lay in and around
Murfreesboro, comparatively idle, for. six
months During this time Rosecrans was
constantly cahing for an increase in his cav
airy force, which he did not get.
Rosecrans' army was partly gathered in
the small Tennessee towns about Murfrees-
boro That city itself was fortified, and a
great supply of Union army stores was col
lected there.
The Confederate cavalry, that all this time
hung on the outskirts of the army of the
Cumberland, was particularly numerous,
skillful and aggressive, and harassed the Fed
eral force not little After his defeat at
the battle of Stone River Bragg re-
treated to shelbyville, twenty-five miles
from Murfreesboro, and almost in a
direct line south of it, There the Con-
federate commander took up his winter
quarters. Thence, too, sallying out at inter-
walls, his cavalry, under such skilled and dar-
ing leaders as Forrest, Wheeler and Whar-
ton, would make dash into the Union lines
and back again, doing much damage and
