On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the 
deep, 
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence re¬ 
poses, 
What is that which the breeze o’er the towering 
steep, 
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? 
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam, 
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream— 
’Tis the Star-spangled Banner, O! loDg may it wave

And where is that band who so vanntingly swore 
That the havoc or war and the battle’s confusion 
A home and a country should leave us no more? 
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’

O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly 
Streaming: 
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, 
Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there— 
O say, does that Star-spangled Banner yet wave 
O’er the land of the Free and the home of the Brave? 
O! thus bo it ever when Freemen shall stand 
Between their loved home and war's desolation; 
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued 
land 
Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a 
nation. 
Then conquer we must, when onr cause it is just. 
And this be our motto — in God is our trust! 
And I he Star-spangled Banner In triumph shall wave 
O’er the land of the Free and the home of the

time of fierce and heartfelt devotion seems, 
when compared with the present situation. 
These fine heroes of a day, these poor victims 
of a delusion so monstrous as to be almost sub¬ 
lime. driven and hunted into the jungles and 
brakes of a desolated country, after sucli a 
series of humiliations and defeats as defies paral¬ 
lel! Where, now, is the honor? where the 
vow? Where the stern adjuration of the Spar¬ 
tan mother? the tearful prayer of the hero's 
beloved? 
We of the North have ever been unwilling to 
believe that the actual mass of the Southern 
people were ever in earnest in this Rebellion. 
We have, for the sake of human common sense, 
preferred to lay the extent of the.army and the 
destruction of property to a reign of terror—a 
mob-law government. 
We are compelled, however, now to acknowl¬ 
edge that the folly of man is greater, by just 
that measure, than wo had thought, AVliatthe 
Southerners have done, they have done as a 
people ; and no Robespierre, were he bucked by 
the armies of the world, could have driven a 
hitherto easily governed people into such fan¬ 
tastic tricks, against the will of the majority. 
Well, it was shortly before the dawn of this 
picturesque enthusiasm, that Ralph Peyton left 
college and returned to his old homestead. 
Everything there reminded him of his sainted 
mother. Her books, her drawings, her favorite 
walks, her carefully attended flowers, her 
guitar —a thousaud eloquent trifles spoke to 
him in a language to which lie could only reply 
with tears. The old deserted house seemed lull 
of ghosts, and the young man felt, that if he re¬ 
mained there alone, he should go mad. 
Accordingly he invited a number of his old 
comrades to visit him, and soon surrounded 
himself with a pleasant party of young fel-

livelier, A little glory and a good time! Bali! 
Let's organize a company." 
“Good, I’m with you,” responded Key. 
“ Here’s a has In Non}, et < ire, I.e Sud.” 
Chouteau was silent for a time: but being 
ultimately convinced that the war could not he 
of sufficient extent to affect the West, (how odd 
these reminiscences seem now,) he consented to 
join the company. 
“ And you, Ralph, you’re in of course?” said 
Dwadley, inquiringly. 
Ralph looked troubled. 
“Go on, gentlemen,” said he, “aud give me a 
little time. I’m not sure that it will he worth 
[ while to meddle with the matter, up here in 
Virginia; but I’ll see about it. Meanwhile, I

“Make him captain,” whispered Chouteau: 
“ we can’t get a better one, and I am not ambi¬ 
tious,” 
Tliis was agreed to by Key and Dwadley, and 
the offer made and accepted. It was further 
agreed that a recruiting ofliee should be opened 
at once in the town, and the requisite number 
of men enrolled as soon as possible-. 
Immediately thereafter came the news of

\PsT Answer in two vveeks. 
Ralph Peyton was the only son ot the 
widow Mary Washington Peyton, of Virginia, 
whose husband, a major in the regular army, 
fell while fighting gallantly at Cherubusco. 
Ralph loved his mother with the peculiar 
intensity of the proud, carefully nurtured, sen¬ 
sitive scion of an old and historic family. The 
strong feeling of ancient blood and pure race 
that distinguishes some families, lias a powerful 
effect in keeping their members together, and 
in preserving relations of unusual tenderness 
between them; and • that the Washington 
Peyton branch was reduced to two—Ralph and 
his mother—the love they bore each other was 
of an almost painful earnestness. 
But death respects no feeling, no emotion. 
Whether we love or hate, the destroyer surely 
comes, and his shafts are just as certain to strike 
our friends as our foes, when the time draws 
near. 
Ralph, while still a mere stripling, at college, 
learned that he was an orphan, alone in the 
world, and the last, of his name and lineage. 
My reader may imagine the passionate grief 
and rage that consumed the poor boy’s heart 
for many mouths, till time had softened and 
sorrow had chastened him into a meek obe¬ 
dience to the fiat of the All-W'Lc. Again he 
appears in the world, and shares the labors and 
pleasures of his fellow students; but 551111 a 
something gentle in his manner, a something 
mournful in his eyes, that slioived how fierce 
had been the struggle, 5vherein submission was 
the only victory. 
It was at this time that there came a murmur 
on the breezes that hitherto had wafted north* 
ward nothing hut odors of the magnolia and 
orange. A lowering gloom fell upon the hori¬ 
zon of the Gulf, and the Senate Chamber rang 
to haughty and defiant words of wrathful por¬ 
tent. 
Six months of weary 5\aiting and anxious 
watching passed by. Some delayed, some 
sneered, some despaired, some shullled and 
some dodged, some hurled back wrath for 
wrath and threat lor threat. Then came the 
reality. The Senate Chamber heard earnest 
farewells and sad adieus. The South hoisted 
the State banners, and rushed to arms with all 
the enthusiasm of a fitful and hot-bloodod 
people. The die was cast, and, too late, the 
North saw that she had been sleeping through 
all the long period of preparation 5vhich had 
made the South a terrible foe. 
Then throughout the lower States, arose all 
picturesque life of a mistaken devotion. Young 
boys shouldered the heavy musket, or labored 
like their negroes on the earthworks. Old 
white-headed men tremulously signed militia 
rolls. Fair girls made rosettes and fastened 
upon their lovers' breasts, bidding them tlie, if 
need be, for the cause. Mothers blessed their 
sons as they marched atvay, ami called upon 
them to be numbered only among the victors or 
the slain. Oh, what a bitter mockery all that

furious splendor that swept over the North 
when the first, fatal gun of the Rebellion lifted

The Americans, after all, are very much alike 
in temperament and manner. That were a 
subtle distinction that one should draw between 
Illinoisiuus and Kentuckians, or Pennsylvanians 
and Virginians. And, when the actual war is 
over, this fact will bo seen more strikingly than 
ever.
