OUR   UNION,
Tlie blood that flowed at Lexington, andcrimson'd bright
Ghamplain,
Streams still along the Southern Gulf and by the lakes of
Maine ;
It flows in veins that swell above Pacific's golden sand,
And throbs ln hearts that love and grieve by dark Atlantic's strand.
lt binds in one vast brotherhood the trapper of the West,
With men whose cities glass themselves in Erie's classic
breast:
And those to whom September brings the fireside'B social
hours,
With those who see December's brow all wreathed with
gorgeous flowers I
From where Columbia laughs to greet tire smiling Western
wave,
To where Potomac sighs beside the patriot hero's grave :
And from the gleaming Everglades to Huron's lordly flood
The glory of the nation's past rings through a kindred
blood 1
Wherever Arnold's tale is told, it dyes the cheek with
shame,
And glows with pride o'er Bunker Hill or Moultrie's wider
fame;
And wheresoe'er above the fray the stars of empire gleam
It is a sacred legacy yo never can divide,
Nor take from village urchin, nor the son of city pride,
Nor the hunter's white-haired children, who find a fruitful home,
Where nameless lakes are sparkling and where lonely rivers roam.
Green drew his sword at Eutaw, and bleeding Southern
feet
Trod the march across the Delaware, amid the snow and
sleet I •
And, lo 1 upon the parchment, where the natal record
shines, A
The burning pagew Jefferson bears Franklin's calmer
lines.
Could you divide that record bright, and tear the names
apart,
That first were written boldly there with plight of hand
and heart?
Could you erase a Hancock's name e'en with the sabre's
edge,
Or wash out with fraternal blood a Carroll's double pledge?
Say, can the South sell all her share in Bunker's hoary
height,
Or can the North give up her boast in Yorktown's closing
fight?
Can ye divide with equal hands a heritage of graves,
Or rend in twain the starry flag that o'er them proudly
waves ?
Can ye cast lots for Vernon's soil, or chaffer 'mid the
gloom
That hangs its solemn folds about your common Father's
tomb?
Or could you meet around his grave as fratricidal foes.
And wake your burning curses o'er his pure and calm
repose ?
Ye dare not!  is the Aile-jhanian thunder tone decree I
'Tis echoed where Nevada guards the blue and tranquil
sea—
Where tropic waves delighted clasp our flowery Sou them
shore,
And where, through frowning mountain gates, Nebraska's
waters roar.
Self-Devotion of Julia.
" From the great,
Illustrious actions area debt to Fame.
No middle path remains for them to tread,
Whom she hath once ennobled."—Glover.
Anthony, having made himself master of Rome,
caused his severe decrees against the banished to
be carried into effect.
Lucius Caesar,* Anthony's «nncle, finding his
name inscribed on the fatal list, took retuge in the
house of hiB sister Julia, and, as that lady was tbe
mother of Autbony, and respected by the soldiers
for their general's sake, he remained there for eome
time in security,
Some ol the soldiers were, however, bold enough
ed,"appeMed"a'tthedoor,an"a^'extending h'eYariflSTo
prevent tbe assassins from passing, said to them,
"You shall not kill Lucius C-aesar till you have
deprived the mother of your general of life."—
Accustomed as tbe soldiers were to insolence and
cruelty, they were arrested in a moment by this
generous speech, not daring to proceed.
Julia, then, to deliver her brother more effectually from danger, went to the place where Anthony was Beated between his two colleagues, and
thus addressed him : *' I come to accuse myself of
concealing Lucius Cseear; order me to be put to
death, since the penalty of death is pronouueed
against those who save the banished." Anthony
could not resist so much greatness of soul; and
the intrepid woman succeeded in obtaining for her
brother an assurance oi complete security.
Revolutionary Officers.
General Mercer is usually said to have been
killed at tbe battle of Princeton, but really died
of an epileptic fit in that neighborhood, a week
after the affair. The popular notion is derived
from the fact that he received a blow on the head
from the but-end of a musket hi the hands of a
British soldier, in full retreat with bis comrades.
He was knocked down and for some time stunned,
as tbe consequence. Mercer was buried in Christ
Church, Philadelphia, but was subsequently removed to Laurel Hill and reinterred.
Putnam was disabled from active service fa the
very middle of the Btrife, 1779, by a paralytic
stroke, but Buryived till 1790, being seventy-two
years of age at his death. He was buried at
Brookline, Conn.
Wayne died at Erie, Pa., where he was buried.
At a later date the body was transported to Chester county. Pa. Although nearly a quarter of a
century had elapsed, the lineaments of the deceased were distinctly visible, and the leatures recognized by persons present,—of course, the corpse
crumbled to dust on exposure to the atmosphere.
Schuyler, who deserves all tbecredit ofthe cap-
General Gates assuming tbe command, just as all
arrangements for the. battle had been made at Saratoga—died at New York in 1804.
Steuben, the Chevalier Bayard of our Revolution, sanspuer et sans reproche, after vainly endeavoring to obtain the fulfillment by Congress of
their engagement to him, returned to Utioa, New
York, the Legislature of which State voted him a
township (six square miles)of land in that neighborhood. Here, in a humble log house, he died,
and was buried adjacent, in 1797.
St. Clair's last resting-place is at Greensburg,
Westmoreland county,Pa.—a neat marble pyramid
being erected over his remains by his Masoufc brethren.
Mifflin, the idol of Pennsylvania, died in Lancaster, Pa., and was buried there.
Maxwell, who commenced the battle of Brandy-
wine by opposing Kuyphausen's troops in their
attempt to cro-s the Chadd's Ford, died at Flem-
mington, New Jersey.
Montgomery and McDougal are buried in New
York ; Alexander (Lord Sterling) at Albany ;
Parsons, at Marrietta, Ohio; Morgan, the hero of
Cowpens, at Winchester, Va.; Sullivan, at Exeter,
N. H.; Scott, in Kentu^y ; Knox, at Thomas-
town, Me.; Henry Lee, in Va.; Charles Lee lies
at the foot of General Mercer's former tomb, in
Christ Church, Philadelphia.
Courtship in Egypt.—Last autumn, a young lady left Dundee for Alexandria, to visit relations
residing in that city. As the passengers were
landing at Alexandria, a richly attired Turk advanced to look, atthe arrivals, and seemed instantly to be struck witb the charms of the damsel
from "Bonny Dundee." He approached her and
suddenly flung a string of figs about ber neck.—
The captain ol the ship came forward and inform-
ep his bewildered passenger that the Turk's gift
was a token of admiration and affection. The matter speedily became serious. Through the medium
of an interpreter, the Turk entered into conversation with tbe captain, and inquired the sum for
which he would be willing to sell tbe lady; he
had nine wives already, he said; but could he
possess this new beauty, she would be the Queen
and *' Light of his Harem." The captain, for the
sake of a joke, replied that her price was 60,000
piastres, (about £500.) The Turk grumbled at the
enormous demand ; it was just double, he said,
wbatJi_ej)aidJqi,!jie_iBQ9t_liafldsome Circassian,
exaiidrine market. The captain, SoWever, stuck
to his price ; and so the parties separated. But,
on the following morning, wheu the captain was
escorting the lady to the residence of her relations, the Turk again made bis appearance, and
throwing another fig necklace around the lady's
neck, intima'ed ihat he was prepared to give the
requisite sum! Here was a dilemma. But tbe
cantain soon cleared himself. ' Foh!" said he,
"you're too late ; I sold her yesterday for a thousand piastres more ; so you've lost her." The same
young lady was married, the other day, in Dundee.— Perth Courier.
A Presidential Dinner.
'• Occasional," in his last letter from Washington to the Press, describes a dinner at the White
House, as follows:
The hour is generally fixed at six o'clock, p.m.j
tbe time when millions are taking their suppers.
You receive a card about the size of an ordinary
playing card, and if you are invited by the President, the dimensions of the card are double, and
generally read as follows :
'* The President requests the honor of you*
company to dinner, on Friday, April 5, at 6, P!St.,
An early answer is requested."
If you go to tbe President's you are expected {0
dress in your best clothes, and wear white gloves.
You are introduced into the small reception room,
where you find the President, Miss Lane, Mrs.
Judge Roosevelt, James. Buchanan, Jr., and the
rest of the household. After being duly present*
ed to them, you await the arrival of the other
guests. The private Secretary, Mr. Buchanan, Jr.,
quietly informs you that you are to escort to the
dinner such a lady, whom he now introduces to
you, and the lady in your company is presented
to another gentleman, who is to be companion during the feast. The hourJiaving; arri*ye.*L tbe^pip;
they are dazzled by tbe gorgeous display of plate
and gaslight, and see a number of graceful waiters, also in white gloves, whose business it is to
attend to the guests.
Tbe Presideut takes his seat, not at the head of
the table, but on the side, exactly midway, Miss
Lane acting as his vis-a-vis. You find your name
beautifully written on a card laid upon the plate,
before the seat you are to occupy, and the entertainment begins. The cooking is general!^ French
cooking, the wineB coBtly and rare; and you Will
soon have an opportunity of hearing the " great
man" talk. You need not be informed that Mtf«
Buchanan is one of the most delightful diners in
the world. He has a fund of small talk for the
ladies, a variety of old-fashioned anecdotes, and,
as he is by no means sparing of the juice of the
grape, he grows more easy and affable, and more
agreeable as Ibe repast goes on, calling out one
after another of the company, and paying compliments to the ladies, occasionally taking wine With
them. You never ask the President to take wine
with you, but wait to be invited by him. After
remaining in this delightful society for several
hours, at a given signal from the President the
company rise, return to tho reception room, where
they are served with coffee and liqueurs, or, if
they prefer it, with brandy, after which you take
your leave and go home to remember the hospitalities you have enjoyed. Some of these dinners
are dull and stately enough, but I have known
tbem to be as delightful as the most genial could
desire.   *
According to the London correspondent of the
Leeds Mercury, young Charles Dickens, the son of
the great Charles, is going out to India to manage
an Indian agency fot the firm of Baring Brothers,
in whicb, says tbe correspondent, he bas long held
a responsible post, having been initiated into the
mysteries of the merchants's craft by them. He
has also another great friend in the financial world
—Miss Burdett Coutts—who will back him, it is
said, in any per se undertakings which he may
think "it wise to undertake. So, without much
speculation, we may anticipate living, perhaps, to
see the great house of Dickens as famous in commerce as it is in literature. Doubtless bis father
could, if willing, add to his store, for current report says he has made £70,000 in the last ten
years.	
The increase in tbe number of newspapers published in Great Britain during the last tweuty
years, is very great. In 1845 the number was four

The question as to whether a dog is baggage,
waB lately settled at the Cleveland depot, Ohio,
by a couple of Emerald Islanders, one of whom
was leading a dog, and the other was holding in
his hand a large carpet bag, which appeared to be
empty. They demanded of the baggage master
his price for taking his dog to Toledo, and was
told it was one doliar. They demurred to the price
and offered fifty cents, but the baggage-maBter was
inexorable. They then insisted that the dog should
be taken as baggage, they having no -'luggage"
but an empty carpet-sack. After debating tbe
question some time, the baggage-master peremptorily refused to take the dog without pay, assuring tbem that the dog was not baggage. Tbelrish-
men seemed a little puzzled, but the one holding
the dog finally turned to his companion, and said :
"Michael! an'faith, put the dog in the bag, an'
won't he then be baggage?" The crowd roared
with laughter, and the dog was provided with a
free passage to Toledo.

Capt: Robert A. S. Pittman, of the ship James
Guthrie, has published the following interesting
extract, giving the particulars of an immense water-spout wbich he saw on his outward passage.—
His journal says :
" September 1, 1859, lat. 40° 31'. long. 59° 34,'
west, at 2, k. m., took strong breeze from thesoutheast, which put us under double-reefed topsails,
with the mercurial column at 30° 1'; at 5 P. M. it
ran down to 29° 5"*; the wind increasing, close-
reefed and (urled all light sails and courses. Observed in the southwest a dark, cumbrous-looking
cloud, which approached the ship with amazing
rapidity, while the wind continued to increase,
wearing lo the opposite quarter. When the cloud
was within about three miles of the ship, the wind
fell to a dead calm, and the phenomenon presented
a terrific appearance. The cloud now assumed the
form of an inverted cone, and gradually descended
lofty peaK, HUHl lue iwu pyiuw-nictjuoirupToeiuas u-
water-spout of gigantic dimensions. Around the
mountain of water a whirlwind immediately commenced, tearing and scattering the sea in every
direction, deiaching and carrying in its course
large masses of clouds. The appearance was likp-
a vast horizontal wheel, turning around this mountain of water, witb the spout for its center, with
amazing velocity ; and, as the shy near the hori-
son was perfectly clear, the revolutions of this
wonderfnl wind and water wheel were distinctly
visible, making its revolutions complete in twenty six seconds, and witb a regularity and precision tbat were truly astonishing. This continued
for about twenty minutes, during which the sea
was several times broken off, without reducing the
altitude of the sea mountain, but immediately became reunited, until finally it terminated with a
splash, agitating the ship and passing over her,
ending in torrents of rain. Very soou tbe sky became beautifully clear, the wind set in fresh from
tbe southwest, and all nature seemed rejoiced at
the destruction of so formidable a machine.
Tbe following oath, to be-administered tothe
legal gentlemen when admitted to the bar, passed
the Massachusetts Senate by a vote of 13 to 3 !
" You solemnly swear that you will do no falsehood, nor consent to the doing of any in Court ;
you will not wittingly or willingly promote or sue
any false, groundless' or unlawful euit, hot give
your aid nor consent to the same; you will delay
no man for lucre or malice; but you will conduct
yourself in the office of an attorney within tbe
courts, according to the best of your knowledge
and discretion, and with all good fidelity, as well
to the courts as to your clients—so help you God.'
The remarkable feat oi reducing to six days the
