Tying her bonnet under the chin


She tied the raven ringlets in


But not alone in the silken snare


Did she catch her lovely floating hair
For, tying her bonnet under her Chin
She tied a young mans heart within.
They were strolling together up the hill
Where the wind comes blowing merry & chill
And il blew the curls a ii oicsOme race.
All over the happy, peach -cOlored face,
Till, scolding and laughing she tied them in
Under her beautiful dimpled chin.
And it blew a color bright as bloom
or the pinkest tuchia's tossing plume,
All over the cheeks of the preltiest girl
That ever imprisoned a roaming curl
Or, in tying the bonnet under her chin,
Tied young mans heart within,
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hill
Maddcr, merrier, cheerier still
The western wind blew down and played
The widest tricks with the little maid
AS, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
Oh, western wind, do you think it was fair.
To play such tricks with her floating hair :
To gladfully, gleelully, do your best
10 blow her against the young mans breast
Where he has gladly folded her in
And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin
Oh, Ellery Vane, you little thought,
An hour ago, when you Desought
This country lass to walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What perlous danger you'd be in,
AS she tied her bonnc! under her chin.

If men cared less for wealth and fame,


And less for battlcfelds and glory
If writ in human hearts n name


Seemed better than a song and story
If men, instead of nursing pride,


Would learn TO hate Il and abliUt il
If more relied on Love TO guide,


The world would be the better for II.
If men dealt less in stocks and lands,


And more in bonds and deeds fraternal;
II Loves work had more willing hands


To link this world to the supernal
If man stored up Loves oil and wine,


And on bruised human hearts would pour il
If "yours" and "mine" would once combine
The world would be the bettet fOf II.
If more would act the play of Life,

If BigOtry would sheath its knife,


Till Good became more universal
If custoih, gray with ages grown,


Had fewer blind men to adore it
If Talent shonG for Truth alone,


The world would be the better for it.
If men were wise in little things,


Affecting less in all their dealings;
If hearts had fewer rusted strings


To isolate their kindly feelings
If men, when Wrong beats down the Right
Would strike together and restore it

The world would be the better for it.

ELOQUENT REMARKs.-Att the Peters
burg meeting, Colonel Cameron made
an address, from which we copy the
following beautiful passage in regard
TO General Lee:


"As he is laid away in dust to sleep
whith that corps of our army which
has gone before. we will reverently be
there. Though no pomp of war shall
attend his burial, no national pageantry
mock his funeral rites-though noun
tains and valleys lie between us and the

most fitly enshrine-the name and fame
of Robert Lee"

dence." Lee had once in a letter to
his son at West point, couselling him
to do his duty at all times, giving ut
terance to the sentiment, duty is
the sublimest word in our language"


HIS RECEPTION IN VIRGINIA.


From the Norfolk virsinian.)


Having thrown up his commission
he repaired TO Richmond, where he Of
fered his sword to his native State, the
reply to which was his appointment as
MWor-General in the command of the
Virginia troops. We all remember
the grand reception awarded him by
the convention, and few more solemn
or august spectacles have adorned our
annals than was presented on that
memorable occasion.


The venerable Mr.. Janney received
him in speech marked by certain
atique pomp, which rose TO genuine
eloquence ut the end of his address,
aud lent additional solemnity to the
impressive scene.


General Lee replied with character
istic modesty, and said "Mr. President
profoundly impressed with the solemni-
~ of the occasion, for which l must say
| was not prepared, 1 accept the posi-
ton assigned me by your partiality. ]
would have much preferred had your
choice fallen on an abler man. Trust
ing in Almighty God, an approving
conscience and the aid of my fellow citi-
zens, l devote myself to the service of
my native State, in whose behalf alone
Will l ever again draw my sword"


In this brief response to the elabo-
rate address delivered by the president
of tn convention, we see that the an
imating principle which controlled
Gen Lee was that of duty, and that he
looked to his God and his conscience
for the approval of his momentous
decision


HIS LAST GENERAL ORDER.


When tile terms of surrender had
been agreed on, Gen. Lee publishes the
following order to his heroic troops:


HD'QRs ARMY NORTHERN VA,
April 10, 1865.


After four years of arduous service,
marked by unsurpassed courage and
fortitude, the army of Northern Vir-
ginia has been compelled to yield to
overwhelming numbers and resources
i need not tell the survivors of so
many hard fought battles, who have
remained Steadfast to the last, l have
consented to this result from no dis
trust of them, but feeling that valor
and devotion could accomplish nothing
that could compensate for the loss that
would have attended the continuation
of the contest, / have determined to
avoid the useless sacrifice of those
whose past services have erdeared
them to their countrymen. BY the
terms of the agreement, officers and
men can return to their homes, and
remain there until exchanged.


You will take with you the sdtiSfdc-
ton that proceeds from the CONSEQUENCES
of'duty faithfully perform ed, and earl :
estly pray that merciful God will ex-
tend to you his blessing and protection.
With an unceasing admiration of
your kind and generous consideration
of myself and aiiectionate farewell.

Club, Count de Chateau Willard, died a
few months ago, leaving behind him a
considerable fortune, the disposition Of a
portion of which, by reason of its eccen-
trieity, is ust now under consideration by
the Paris tribunals, at the instance Of the

spring of his first marriage. It seems that
during his life time the celebrated French
sportsman was in the habit of burying his
old hounds in particular enclosure Oh his

The Count, however, desired to carry
his affection for those members of the
brute creation step further, and to
be buried beside them, and gave this di-
rection in his will. leaving, moreover, a
sum of sixty thousand francs for the erec-
ton of a handsome mausoleum, within
which were TO be disposed the statues,
busts and other works of art at his chateau
of Willard, together with all the portraits
of his female frienas. A further sum, suf-

year, was to be set aside for the salary OF
keeper of the proposed mausoieum. The
widow of the Count desires that the provi-
