The beautiful queen of the western seas 
Sung out, on a gladsome time, 
A carol that swelled on the ocean breeze, 
And measured itself to rhyme; 
And over the water, 
The foaming blue water, 
It went like a far-off chime. 
“ Ye've gi’en me a lesson and helped me to con it, 
Oh west winds that hover about my head! 
Now sing, ye glad birdlings, yonr winsomest sonnet; 
Smile out, ye flowers, smile out lrom your bed: 
For the dark king of evil, 
The child of the devil, 
Has made him a bier, and has laid him upon it, 
And the dark king of evil is dead 1 
“Ring ont your glad changes, oh bells, from each 
tower I 
Let never a sorrow'd)! stroke be heard; 
But hymns of thanksgiving arc songs for the hour, 
So deep is the llercc-beuting nation-heart Btlrred. 
Never toll for the dead king, 
But let the loud changes ring, 
And chime out and peal out the new strength and 
power 
His death on the cause of the right has conferred. 
“ With soul-stirring music, ye loud cannon, rattle, 
To hcartB all despondent the glad tidings bring, 
How freedom Is born on the red field of battle! 
Shout, all yc nations, of victory sing 1 
Servile fetters are broken, 
For Jehovah has spoken, 
And men art 1 no more to be treated like cattle; 
No more to my garments shall slavery cling! 
“With many a pickax, and muscles to ply it, 
Men from each nation, hitherward speed! 
Let us fashion a grave, and kneeling close by it, 
Solemnly be it among us agreed. 
While our duty seems dear, 
And fair freedom Is dear, 
We will work for its cause, and firmly stand by it. 
As long as men suffer, as long as there’s need I"

AN EVERY DAY OCCURRENCE 
most nl ways arise lrom petty causes. On this 
account we mutually promise never to follow 
our own desires in things of small Importance, 
bnt always give them to each other. 
Helen —In important matters it will he right 
that Charles should decide, for he has more 
knowledge and judgement than I. 
67 Mrles —Helen is too modest. I shall never 
decide anything without consulting her, and 
either converting her to my own views, or 
adopting hers if 1 think them best. 
Art. 7.—As a consequence of the last preced¬ 
ing article, each of us shall always be dressed 
according to the taste of the other. 
Art. 8.—The words “I will, 1 ’ “I expect,” “I 
require,” and other similar expressions, are ab¬ 
solutely erased from our dictionary. 
Art.. 9.—Charles will honor his wile that she 
may he honored by others. He will always ex¬ 
hibit towards her esteem and confidence, and 
will be especially careful never In her presence 
to allow any advantage over her to tiny other 
woman upon any point whatsoever. 
Art. 10.—We shall ever bear in mind that want 
of cleanliness and attention to personal appear¬ 
ance must necessarily produce repugnance and 
disgust. Neatness is to the body what amiabil¬ 
ity Is to the soul. It is that which pleases. 
Art. 11. — Helen ■— The majority of women 
nurse their own children. I hope Charles will 
approve of my performing my duties as a mother. 
Charles— 1 approve; subject to the doctor’s 
advice. 
Art. 12.—• Charles — Helen will take great care 
not to spoil our children’s Intellects in tlicir 
early years. She must, not talk, or sutler others 
to talk to them any of that nonsense which gives 
false Ideas and dangerous impressions through¬ 
out life. 
Helen — I will pay great attention to this point. 
Art. 13.—Although our mutual tenderness is 
a guaranty that we shall never fail in the engage¬ 
ments hereinbefore set forth, each of us will 
keep a copy of these presents, and in case of the 
breach of any article, shall be entitled to lav it 
before the other party to remind him or her of 
the covenants entered into. 
Art, 14.—Iuosmuch as neither will have any¬ 
thing that does not belong to the ot her, there is 
no occasion to take any account of the contribu¬ 
tion of each to the common stock. Affection 
and courage, our only fortune, cannot be counted, 
and each of us will endeavor to tiring as much 
as possible.

perform the marriage ceremony.

for years. I tried to recall a single line, but my 
mind wandered. At length there came a ray of 
light; J remembered a verse and I repeated it 
aloud. How strangely solemn my voice sounded 
alone in the night—alone, except for the spirit 
of the Invisible, which I felt but could not see. 
“ Now 1 lay mo down to sloop, 
I pray the Lord my soul to keep; 
If I should die before I wake. 
I pray the Lord my soul to take," 
Then J remembered another petition— “For¬ 
give us our trespasses, as we forgive those that 
trespass against us.” IIow had I forgiven those 
that trespassed against me? The thought was 
an agony. But another voice had taken up the 
words, “Lead us not into temptation, but de¬ 
li ver ns from evil, for tliinc is the kingdom and 
the power and the glory forever suid forever — 
Amen." Two voices joined intheumen. Not 
unfamiliar was that speech to me, though for 
two years I had not heard it, “ Kiuke — Kirke 
Winters,” I called, as well as I was able, and 
the reply came, iaint and broken, “ Gil, are vou 
here ?” “ Can you forgive me, Kirke ?” ‘‘As 
I have hope in God’s forgiveness. We have 
both been mistaken. I found it nil out after* 
wards. 1 wanted to tell you when we met, hut” 
— his kiud heart spared me the pain of an allu¬ 
sion to my cowardly act. “ O, Kirke, I can 
never give yon hack that hand.” “I may 
never need it, Gil; but j’on have brought me 
hack a friend worth all the world to me.” 
Oli, shame, remorse I J tried to crawl towards 
the sound of his voice, hut I was lob weak. 
The moonlight grew paler, the shadows blacker 
— the weight upon my limbs heavier —and I 
fainted. I awoke again in the hospital, and it 
was Kirke Winters who was holdiug the cup 
to ray lips. Dimly I recalled the past. “How 
long have I been sick ? ” 1 asked, “ Only a few 
weeks.” I felt the hot blood overspread my face 
us memory came back. “.And you, Kirke?” 
“ Doing well. Don’t trouble abput that.” 
“Where arc wo?” In Washington. The Un¬ 
ionists came down in force before daybreak and 
retook the field.” “ Then you are a prisoner.” 
“ And a prisoner I wish to remain, Gil ; J have 
taken the oath of allegiance and only regret that 
I cannot now do sendee for my country. But if 
I were able I should hardly feel worthy to fight 
beneath the old banner that I have trampled 
under foot. I have sinned, bnt I am justly pun-

GIL OWEN’S EEYENGE, 
Venus and Juno.— A correspondent, in de¬ 
scribing the fair ladies he saw at a Hebrew ball, 
says he drisen 1 ! know which style of beauty was 
best represented, Venus or Juuo’s. We should 
say the attractive feature on such an occasion 
would, by all means, he Jcw-nose, 
by SUE BROWNE, 
We met in the shock of battle. His coat was 
Confederate gray, mine “army bine”; his 
shoulders were decorated with gilt Btrups ; I 
only wore “service straps”; I was in the cav¬ 
alry, he belonged to the infantry* It was in the 
beginning of the action and we promised our¬ 
selves a speedy victory, for wc had been prepared 
for this demonstration of the rebels, and they, 
supposing us Ignorant of their movements, 
marched boldly to the very mouth of our gune, 
when wc opened upon them a deadly fire that 
broke their ranks and sent them reeling buck in 
disorder. But they were brave and desperate 
men, commanded by others equally so, and the 
6 moke from our artillery had scarcely cleared 
away when they were formed in line again and 
sweeping down upon us like a tornado. This 
time they were met by the same deadly fire, but 
they did not wuver—only closing up the fright¬ 
ful lanes our guns had made, they sprang over 
the redoubt, and, gaining the hill, the fight be¬ 
came general. 
Oh! it was dreadful,—the clashing of sabers 
and hayonetB, the singing of bullets, screaming 
and explosion of shells, the cannon's roar and 
the shouts and yells, that were human and yet 
not human, in their fierce hate and bitter agony, 
I felt the blood leap through my veins as It had 
never done before. 1 forgot all love, all hate; I 
only knew that we must hold the field. Through 
the smoke of powder und clouds of dust 1 saw 
that face that had once been dearer thpn any 
other of man or woman. , 
You will not understand by that the tie that 
bound us. Wo loved each other as did David 
and Jonathan— “ passing the love of woman.” 
It seems strange now that between the dawning 
and setting sun this love could turn to deadliest 
hate; but he had wronged me as none hut the 
most intimate friend could wrong any one. Yon 
will not care to know how it was, but he had 
done me a great injury for a lifetime,—an injury 
that no after repentance could repair and that I 
could not forgive. Oh, what a wild thrill of 
fierce exultant joy pulsed through my heart 
when 1 saw that the coat he wore gave me the 
right—nay, made it my positive duty—to strike 
him down upon the battle-field. I struck the 
spure into my horse and dashed towards him , 
He turned and tlius we met. Two years had not 
changed him. Through the dust, and smoke 
aud powder-stain I saw the game pure Saxon 
face—a little firmer in its outlines, perhaps, bnt 
that did not detract from its manly beauty; the 
red lips, tender and beautiful as a girl's, and the 
light brown hair lying in silken coils over the 
head aud shading the brow not yet tauned by 
the exposure of u soldier’s life. A glad light 
leapt into his eyes aud his lips parted with a 
pleasant smile as he sprang towards me and laid 
his hand upon ray bridle rein. 
God forgive me! It was murder, for that 
blow was not struck for my country—only to 
gratify private revenge. Through the action my 
saber lmd never yet been idle; why should it 
rest noiv? 1 aimed at his head, but in my blind

AN ANAGRAM. 
A MAEEIAGE C0NTEACT 
A FRENCH CONTRACT. 
A contract of marriage extraordinary ivas 
brought before the Paris Court of Instance in 
the last week of July. A count and countess, 
whose names are not given by the legal journals 
which report the ease, refused their consent to 
the marriage of their daughter Helen with the 
man of her heart. She thereupon retired to a 
convent, from which she addressed to her pa¬ 
rents those actcs rcspeclueux, which by the French 
code enable persons of full ugc to marry without 
the consent of futher and mother, which is 
prima facUt necessary. Thereupon the parents 
instituted a snit to stop the marriage on the 
ground that their daughter was insane, and the 
principal evidence produced in support of the 
allegation was that she had signed a contract of 
marriage In the following form : 
our marriage contract. 
Article 1.—Loving each other, and knowing 
each other w ell enough to be certain that one 
cannot be happy without the other, we join our¬ 
selves together to live for ever hereafter as good 
married people. She w’ill be I and I shall he
