A BfLESSUV-i. HY ELIZA COOK. As I wandered beside the blue measureless tide, While the waters end winds were at play, Awoman, forlorn, pale, weary aud worn, Arose, like aglmsl, in my way. Her faiiiin.-wrunKWgh,aiidhergrief-dLmmedeye, Wen heavy wilb moan and tear, A. I placed in her palm a drop ofthe balm Which th. world holds so preciously dear ; And this blessing Bbfl gave aa the turned to the wave And gazed up to the azure dome, "May your happiness be as deep as the sea, And your heart as light aa lhe foam." Few words they wore, but ihey seemed to bear A magic to eheer and to save ; A beauty was flung by that sorrowful toORue Like a spring-flower reared ou a grave ; And Time, who u.t ranges by chequers and changes, Kind thoughts that have wish'd us good will, lias left warmly imprest ou my brain aud my breast The word- of that pale woman still. They held Music und Feeling, whose echo-tones stealing, Tat wis per where'er I may roam, " May your bappineis be as deep aa the sea, And your heart us light as lhe foam." THE SMII.K DPOS THE FACE. I love the man whose open brow Proclaim., a noble mind ; I love a sympathetic soul That feels for all mankind — That feels for human wrongs and woe, Aod pities e'en their guile j And 0, 1 love the angel face I love my little lisping child, And her who gave it birth ; I love the memory of lhe dead, Whose deeds illume otir earth; I love the friend of freedom's cause, Whom gold could ne'er defile ; An 1 O, I love the angel face Tbat ever wears a smile 1 The face thai ever wears a smile Hath run-.one in the heart ; Its beaming rays reflect around— A thousand joys impart; It ftladdena, cheers, inspires with hope, Far more lhan tongue can tell ; 'Tis la such hearts the angels bright Forever love to dwell. Purity Colonels or Volunteers,—Austin Light, late Colonel of the 3. th Regiment, Illinois Volunteers, known as tbe Yatea Phalanx, enlisted iu the regular army of the United States on the 28th day of June, 18-8. in the cavalry recruiting department. He served his terra of enlistment, which expired In .608, aod was honorably discharged from thc service on the 28th day of June, 1858* His discharge Is signed by Capt. C. F. ltuff, Brevet Major, U. S. A. He afterwards re- enlisted as a private in Company D, 1st Cavalry lH the Bpring of 1857. He was promoted to Fourth Corporal before the expiration of many weeks.— This company was commandeil by Capt. James Mackintosh. He served io tli ia position during the Cheyenne expedition uuder Col. Sumner, and ou tli o returu ofthe regiment from said expedition in the winter, lie ^received a tun days' furlougl from hin captain. At the expiration of his furlough Corporal Light did not return. Iu other words lie deserted the service. Ho had at that time only served one year of hia new terra. Subsequently, aud in 1859, he once more eulisted in the infantry for the general recruiting service of IKiJ.... .•-•.,,Il/i.my.ih[pnniwfc, •!__•__. iAv..i. £-»- waa there recognized by his former commander, Col. (now Gen.) Sumner. Under his orders he was arrested as a deserter, tried by a court martial, and condeuiueil to be flogged and drummed out of the service. Tbeso fads having lately come to light, the proper measures were taken to remove the Colonel from command. He, however, Baved the authorities from further trouble by resigning his commission. Another Illinois Colonel, who bad nearly com pleted a regiment, was not long ago convicted of taking bribes and of getting drunk and hurrahing for Jell" Davis and the Secessionists. He wi cashiered, and forthwith set otflo join Price's ai my, having first tried to persuade some of his men to go wilh him to the rebel camp. Tub Luxury of ■_ State Prison.—The editor ol tho Chicago Record, (James Grant Wilson,) has the following mention in his last number of one of the flourishing New York State instntions : " We visited the State Prison at Sing Sing, New York, the other day, and among olher curious sights, saw a noted forger (who acts as book-keep. er for one of the persona who contracts wilh the Btate ior tho labor of the convicts) occupying a sumptuously (urnishod room—a Turkey carpet, easy chairs, etc., and enjoying his cigar and .a;,ni[>a::ne, and learned that he paid seven dollars a week for bis rations. Inquiring for another oi torloua felon, we learned that he lived in similar Style. Wishing to sec him also, we could only learn from the keepers that he was 'somewhere around.' Truly n comfortable caravan for convicts who have any money. In passing through thc female department, we were struck wilh the high color ofa rather good looking, middle-aged woman where all look bo pale; and on Inquiry of the matron, were told the person in question was Mr. BobinaoD, tbe veiled murderess, who regularly rouges except in rare instances, when her material El exhausted. She procures it by making an extract front lbe litlered wild ilower that grows in the prisoj) yard." _ One of lhe .words which were stolen from Japanese Tommy, while the Embassy were iu Bal [imoro, 1ms been recovered, and will be returned to bim by the lirst convey,,"-- »■> l-.-....

Holly, in his history of the United Netherlands remarks of the gallant Henry: At his very name, a figure seems to leap forth from the midst of three centuries, instinct with ruddy, vigorous life. Sueh was the intense vitality ol the ilearnese Prince, that eveu uow he seem more thoroughly alive, aud recognizable than half ihe_actu-l personages wbo are fretting their hour upon the slage. We see at onceamau of moderate stature, light' sinewy, and strong; a face browned with continual exposure; Bmall, mirthful, yet commanding blue eyes, glittering from beneath an arching brow, prominent cheek bones, a long hawk's uose, almost resting upou the salient chin, a peudant moustache, atida thick, brown, curly beard, prematurely grizzled ; we see the mieu of frank authority, and JJ .! magnificent good humor ; we hear tbe ready scul- iJ1 *' lies of the shrewd Gascon mother wit, we feel the electricily which flashes out ol him and sels al1 hearts around him on lire, when tbe trumpet sounds to buttle. The headlong desperate charge, the snow white plume waving where the fire is hottest, lhe large capacity for the enjoyment of the man, rioting without affectation in the ccrtiminis guardia, the insane gallop, after the combat, to lay its trophies at tbe feet of the Cynthia of the minute, and thus to forfeit its fruits; all are as familiar to us as if the seven distinct wars, the hundred pitched battles, the two hundred sieges iu which the I. earnese was personally present, had beeu occurrences of our owu day.

Smith (who is very unpopular with his men, so much so that they question bis loyalty,) arrived at l'aducah and superseded Gen. Paine by order of Gen. Fremont, tbe rebels bad just ttuWi possession of Columbus with a small forrc, and bad ns yet no fortifications, and Gen. Paine had everything ready fot a secret expedition,, the design of which was to burn lhe bridge and trestle work over the Ob river in Tennessee, and thus cut off the rebel forces in Hickman and Columbus from their railroad connection with Memphis and West Tennessee; and then, while they wore thus isolated and without fortifications, attack and drive them from Southwestern Kentucky. When Gen. Pame was relieved of lhe command, he staled the plan to Gen. Smith and asked permission to carry it out, not counting for a moment lhat it would be given, when Gen. Smith proposed to communicate tbo matter to Gen. Fro moat beforo acting. Gen. Taine was thunder stiiekeu, and said to Gen, Smith, " But let me burn the bridge first, and then write to Gen. Fremont.'.

Fremont, who replied, "by all means destroy the bridge;" but ihcn four or five days had elapsed, the rebels waa strongly reinforced, aud were for- tifyng Columbus, and had their troops so situated that the thing was impracticable. Tbo result o' thi* eicec. ive devotion to red tape is seen in the present strength of that placo, and the great extent to which lhe rebels overawe tho Union s.nti incut, and derive their subsistence from tbe coun ties adjoining tbnt place.

A BfLESSUV-i.
HY ELIZA COOK.
As I wandered beside the blue measureless tide,
While the waters end winds were at play,
Awoman, forlorn, pale, weary aud worn,
Arose, like aglmsl, in my way.
Her faiiiin.-wrunKWgh,aiidhergrief-dLmmedeye,
Wen heavy wilb moan and tear,
A. I placed in her palm a drop ofthe balm
Which th. world holds so preciously dear ;
And this blessing Bbfl gave aa the turned to the
wave
And gazed up to the azure dome,
"May your happiness be as deep as the sea,
And your heart as light aa lhe foam."
Few words they wore, but ihey seemed to bear
A magic to eheer and to save ;
A beauty was flung by that sorrowful toORue
Like a spring-flower reared ou a grave ;
And Time, who u.t ranges by chequers and changes,
Kind thoughts that have wish'd us good will,
lias left warmly imprest ou my brain aud my breast
The word- of that pale woman still.
They held Music und Feeling, whose echo-tones

I love a sympathetic soul
That feels for all mankind —
That feels for human wrongs and woe,
Aod pities e'en their guile j

I love my little lisping child,
And her who gave it birth ;

Whose deeds illume otir earth;
I love the friend of freedom's cause,
Whom gold could ne'er defile ;

A thousand joys impart;

Far more lhan tongue can tell ;
'Tis la such hearts the angels bright
Forever love to dwell.
Purity Colonels or Volunteers,—Austin
Light, late Colonel of the 3. th Regiment, Illinois
Volunteers, known as tbe Yatea Phalanx, enlisted
iu the regular army of the United States on the
28th day of June, 18-8. in the cavalry recruiting
department. He served his terra of enlistment,
which expired In .608, aod was honorably discharged from thc service on the 28th day of
June, 1858* His discharge Is signed by Capt. C.
F. ltuff, Brevet Major, U. S. A. He afterwards re-
enlisted as a private in Company D, 1st Cavalry
lH the Bpring of 1857. He was promoted to Fourth
Corporal before the expiration of many weeks.—
This company was commandeil by Capt. James
Mackintosh. He served io tli ia position during
the Cheyenne expedition uuder Col. Sumner, and
ou tli o returu ofthe regiment from said expedition
in the winter, lie ^received a tun days' furlougl
from hin captain. At the expiration of his furlough Corporal Light did not return. Iu other
words lie deserted the service. Ho had at that
time only served one year of hia new terra. Subsequently, aud in 1859, he once more eulisted in
the infantry for the general recruiting service of
IKiJ.... .•-•.,,Il/i.my.ih[pnniwfc, •!__•__. iAv..i. £-»-
waa there recognized by his former commander,
Col. (now Gen.) Sumner. Under his orders he
was arrested as a deserter, tried by a court martial,
and condeuiueil to be flogged and drummed out of
the service. Tbeso fads having lately come to
light, the proper measures were taken to remove
the Colonel from command. He, however, Baved
the authorities from further trouble by resigning
his commission.
Another Illinois Colonel, who bad nearly com
pleted a regiment, was not long ago convicted of
taking bribes and of getting drunk and hurrahing
for Jell" Davis and the Secessionists. He wi
cashiered, and forthwith set otflo join Price's ai
my, having first tried to persuade some of his men
to go wilh him to the rebel camp.
Tub Luxury of ■_ State Prison.—The editor ol
tho Chicago Record, (James Grant Wilson,) has
the following mention in his last number of one of
the flourishing New York State instntions :
" We visited the State Prison at Sing Sing, New
York, the other day, and among olher curious
sights, saw a noted forger (who acts as book-keep.
er for one of the persona who contracts wilh the
Btate ior tho labor of the convicts) occupying a
sumptuously (urnishod room—a Turkey carpet,
easy chairs, etc., and enjoying his cigar and
.a;,ni[>a::ne, and learned that he paid seven dollars
a week for bis rations. Inquiring for another
oi torloua felon, we learned that he lived in similar
Style. Wishing to sec him also, we could only
learn from the keepers that he was 'somewhere
around.' Truly n comfortable caravan for convicts
who have any money. In passing through thc
female department, we were struck wilh the high
color ofa rather good looking, middle-aged woman
where all look bo pale; and on Inquiry of the
matron, were told the person in question was Mr.
BobinaoD, tbe veiled murderess, who regularly
rouges except in rare instances, when her material
El exhausted. She procures it by making an extract front lbe litlered wild ilower that grows in
the prisoj) yard." _

were stolen by a young man who is now in the

Vivid I-oi-ii-alt of tlie Youthful Henry of
Navarre.
Holly, in his history of the United Netherlands
remarks of the gallant Henry:
At his very name, a figure seems to leap forth
from the midst of three centuries, instinct with
ruddy, vigorous life. Sueh was the intense vitality ol the ilearnese Prince, that eveu uow he seem
more thoroughly alive, aud recognizable than half
ihe_actu-l personages wbo are fretting their hour
upon the slage.
We see at onceamau of moderate stature, light'
sinewy, and strong; a face browned with continual exposure; Bmall, mirthful, yet commanding
blue eyes, glittering from beneath an arching brow,
prominent cheek bones, a long hawk's uose, almost
resting upou the salient chin, a peudant moustache,
atida thick, brown, curly beard, prematurely grizzled ; we see the mieu of frank authority, and JJ .!
magnificent good humor ; we hear tbe ready scul- iJ1 *'
lies of the shrewd Gascon mother wit, we feel the
electricily which flashes out ol him and sels al1
hearts around him on lire, when tbe trumpet
sounds to buttle.
The headlong desperate charge, the snow white
plume waving where the fire is hottest, lhe large
capacity for the enjoyment of the man, rioting
without affectation in the ccrtiminis guardia, the
insane gallop, after the combat, to lay its trophies
at tbe feet of the Cynthia of the minute, and thus
to forfeit its fruits; all are as familiar to us as if
the seven distinct wars, the hundred pitched battles, the two hundred sieges iu which the I. earnese
was personally present, had beeu occurrences of
our owu day.

liavt Ciianck Throws Away.—When Gen. Smith
(who is very unpopular with his men, so much so
that they question bis loyalty,) arrived at l'aducah
and superseded Gen. Paine by order of Gen. Fremont, tbe rebels bad just ttuWi possession of Columbus with a small forrc, and bad ns yet no fortifications, and Gen. Paine had everything ready fot
a secret expedition,, the design of which was to
burn lhe bridge and trestle work over the Ob
river in Tennessee, and thus cut off the rebel forces
in Hickman and Columbus from their railroad connection with Memphis and West Tennessee; and
then, while they wore thus isolated and without fortifications, attack and drive them from Southwestern Kentucky. When Gen. Pame was relieved of
lhe command, he staled the plan to Gen. Smith and
asked permission to carry it out, not counting for a
moment lhat it would be given, when Gen. Smith
proposed to communicate tbo matter to Gen. Fro
moat beforo acting. Gen. Taine was thunder
stiiekeu, and said to Gen, Smith, " But let me burn
the bridge first, and then write to Gen. Fremont.'.
'• RO, laid l.en. bmitii "i n write io USD * renvoi-,
and get his approval first." Ho wrote to Gen.
Fremont, who replied, "by all means destroy the
bridge;" but ihcn four or five days had elapsed,
the rebels waa strongly reinforced, aud were for-
tifyng Columbus, and had their troops so situated
that the thing was impracticable. Tbo result o'
thi* eicec. ive devotion to red tape is seen in the
present strength of that placo, and the great extent to which lhe rebels overawe tho Union s.nti
incut, and derive their subsistence from tbe coun
ties adjoining tbnt place.

A happy man was Tom when bo paid thc last instalment of five hundred dollars into his master's
hands, aud received into hia own his " free papers."
"You are a free man, now, Tom," said Col.
Bowers, smiling, as he delivered over tbe documents.
'■ Yes, xassa, thank de Lord, so I is."
" And your owu master !"
