Sitting in by humble doorway,
Gazing out into the night,
Listening to the stormy trumult
With kind of sad delight
Waiting for the love who comes not,
One whose step long to hear
One who though he fingers from me,
Still is dearest of the dear.
Soft, he comes-now, heart, be quiet
Leaping in triumphant pride,
Oh it is stranger footstep,


Gone by on the other side.
All the night seemed filled with weeping,
Winds are wailing mournfulIy,
And the rain-tears close together
Journey to the restless sea.
eau fancy, Sea, you murmur,


AS they with your waters flow.
Like the griefs of single being,


Making up a nations woe.
Branches, bid your gusts be silent
Hush a n oment, iretGul rain
Breezes stop sighing-let me listen,
God grant not again in vain
In my cheek the blood is rosy,


Like the bushes of BRIDE.
Joy alas, a stranger footstep


Goes by on the other side.
All how many wait forever,


For the steps that do not come
Wait until the plying angels


Bear them ON TO peaceful home
Many in the still Of midnight


In the streets have lain and died,
While the sound of human footsteps
Went by on the other side.

SCANDAL IN VERY HIGH LTFE.-The Lon
don correspondent Of the Bulletin, in his
letter of February 18th, furnishes the fol-
lowing bit of royal scandal:


Some of your readers may have noticed a
hint that the Eector Of Hesse is atpresent con-
fined to his bed with broken head, and must
have been puzzled with the mystery that IS
made about so simple a circumstance; but
thereby hangs tale. If current report is to
be credited, the solution of the mystery may be
thus accounted for: 1t seems that some days
ago the lady Of his High Mightiness was sit
ting in her apartment in the Electoral palace,
when entered to her the Elector in person. He
speedily made the discovery that the Electress
was deep in The enjoyment Of the pages and
cuts of Kladderadatseh-the Berlin Punch
and that she relished above all things some
particularly hard hits directed against her liege
lord. On being told to "drop it," the recalcit-
rant spouse demurred; words ran high, and
must add?-the Elector betook himself to the
highly undignfed amusement OF beating his
wife. Attracted by her screams, servant en-
tered, and tried to interfere. His Highness
raised his foot to kick the man, but the fellow
was too quick for him-the upraiscd foot was
caught, the Elector lost his balance as well as
his temper, and his head made so unpleasant
an acquaintance with table, that the matter
took the serious look it has assumed.

How long do the people of the aoIth-

stone blind to the principal facts relating


to this desolating war? Here we have in
the last Green Bay Adrocate. letter from
CAAs. D. ROBINSON, now with General
KING in Virginia, who was among the frs.
to respond to the Presidents call for
troops. He expresses precisely the same
sentiments we have e1p:essed-prscisely
the same for uttering which we here al
home are denounced as secessionists and
rebel sympathizers. There are some, per-
haps, who have refused to listen TO us, who
viii heed a candid and intelligent man
from the army. So we publish:


1t is safe to say that there are no Union
men in Virginia; or at least that part of
it with which we have become familiar
There ere, undoubtedly, exceptions to this
statement, but so rare as scarcely TO serve
te prove the generSrule. We have found
large numbers-f think majority
were opposed to the secession of Virginia,
who voted the Union ticket, which was
for Bell and Everett, and who resisted the
rebellion up TO the latest moment; but,
owning property here, having the welfare
and safety Of families at stake, and bound
by ties of birth and sympathy with their
state, they adhered to her fortunes and
followed her into the gulf where she has
been plunged. They started as conserva-
tives, but the progress Of the war, with its
attendant seventies, could not but step by
step make ultra Southern men Of them.


Intelligent and fine Virginians of whom
we found many, deplore the war, but freely
and explicitly declare their allegiance to
the Southern Confederaoy. The patriot
ism and self-sacrifce of the North in pro-
fusely giving up men and means to sustain
the government, have their counterpart in
the desperation and desolation of the
South. Their young men are in the ranks,
their negroes have run off; their horses
and cattle have been taken for one army
or the other and their pleasant places are
scathed by the war as though the fire had
passed over them. Ruin has bound them
to the Southern cause. They have bro't
themselves to believe that we are oppress.
ors-that they have right TO live aloof
from us-and that we are invading their
sacred homes. We mast acin
back the allegiance of the people. Youmay
