Though I profess not to be writing

Though l profess not to be writing
a reg ular history of these campaigns,
it will not, perhaps, be deemed out of
place, if | state here, that long before
the expedition arrived at Jamaica, an
error, the fatal effects of which were
felt in all our future operation, had
been committed. Though the point
of attack was kept a profound secret
from the troops, there was hardly a
rotI'ec-house in Kingston in which the
views of the English government were
not openly discussed, not as subjet
of CONNECTION but as truth, of which
no doubt could be entertained. How
this matter first got abroad, various
rumors have been in circulation; but |
believe the truth to be as follows. The
conquest of New Orleans was from the
first the grand object, for the attain
ment of which our expedition was fit
ted out. The capture of Burlington,
and the landing at Baltimore, with the
whole series of operations in the Ches-
apeake, were undertaken simply as
blinds, to divert the attention of the
American government from the dis
trict really threatend; and so anxious
were ministers to effect this, and that
through general rendezvous at
Jamaica of the invading army, had
been long planned out, not hint of
the matter was dropped to the naval
officer commanding there, till the
forces both from England and the
Potomac, were ready to sail. 1t un-
happily occurred however, that, in the
interval, the Admiral on the Jamaica
station died, and the dispatches design
ed for him were necessarily put into
the hands of the senior captain, that
gentleman with a singular absence of
all common prudence, opened these
dispatches to the presence Of Jew
merchant; and, like a perfect simple
ton, informed him Of their contents.
An opportunity to favorable Of earn
ing rich reward, the son Of Israel
coull not permit to pass. He fitted
out fast sailing schooner without de-
lay and dispatched it to the enemy.
Nor was he satisfied with this. The
projected inroad became, through his
instrumentality, matter of universal
discussions; and the American governor
of Florida learned. from thousand
different quarters, that he was in dan
ger The Information was not wasted
upon hlm. He Sc. himself instantly
to work, raising men planning out
fortifications, laying in stores, and
making other preparations to receive
us; and so deligent was he in the
prosecution of his task, that the means
Of defense got together, were such as
we found ourselves quite unable to
overcome. The name of the naval
officer to whose womanish garulity so
much mischief in attributable, do
not choose to record; but the fact it.
self is too generally know to make me
at all scrupulous about repeating it.
But l will not break through my
established rule by entering, even
slightly, into the politics Of the war;
let me rather go on at once with my
own personal narrative.

THE LITTLE COMFORTERS.

THE LITTLE COMFORTERS.
Everywhere over the world they be,
Symbols of music and mirth and gee.
Unto the land of the ever-blest
With touch that is tender and full OF rest;
Unto the tribe of the evening song,
Unto the heartsease class they belong.
And ever the blossoms of comfort grow
Where they AID their patterng footsteps go
Who finds his comfort i'll gilded halls,
Or under the glare of the palace walls;
Who seeks it out on the purple hills,
Or down i'll the valleys by rippling rIlls,
Has lost the secret Of heart and mind
And has not fathome d the place to find
The joy and sweetness and light and rest
Under the dome of the dear home nest;
Under the touch of the baby's smile,
Under the spell of her heart the while;
Under the magic Of little lips,
An arm that tenderly, swcetly slips
Round ne cks bowed down with weight of care
Till baby's soft little hand pat is there,
And the mrth in her eyes and the song in her heart
Grow greater and grander than life or art!
OH everywhere over the word they be,
And kI ow how many will wait for me
When tears and sorrow and toll are done
And the west grows led with the setting sun,
As lift the latch and open the gate
And follow the path where the wee ones wait
With curious, wonderful. angel way
OF chasing the trouble and care of day
Unto the band of the truly blest,
Unto the weavers Of dreams and rest
Unto the Iegons of comfort and mirth,
Holding their kingdom all over the earth
Worlds may have beauty and wealth and power,
Gold for the gifts of day or an hour.
Jewel and palace and precious gem
But what would life's living be worth without them?
