I shut my grave Aquinas fast; The monkish gloss of ages past, The schoolman's creed aside I cast.

So come to me, my little one,— My years with thee I share, And mingle with a sister's love A mother's tender care. But keep the smile upon thy lip, The trust upon thy brow; Since for the dear one God hath called We have an angel now. Our mother from the fields of heaven Shall still her ear incline; Nor need we fear her human love Is less for love divine. Th

recollection than the descendants of the men to whom the facts in question relate have to a place in a Fourth of July procession. Of the services and sufferings of the colored soldiers of the Revolution no attempt has, to our knowledge, been made to preserve a record. They have had no historian. With here and there an exception, they have all passed away; and only some faint tradition of their campaigns under Washington and Greene and Lafayette, and of their cruisings under Decatur and Barry, lingers among their descendants. Yet enough is known to show that the free colored men of the United States bore their full proportion of the sacrifices and trials of the Revolutionary War. The late Governor Eustis, of Massachusetts,— the pride and boast of the democracy of the East, himself an active participant in the war, and therefore a most competent witness,—Governor Morrill, of New Hampshire, Judge Hemphill, of Pennsylvania, and other members of Congress, in the debate on the qu

y. As we have stated, the eleven captains who commanded these last batteries had in addition three volunteer batteries under their orders; and thanks to their instructions, the new artillery after one or two campaigns equalled the regulars who had been given them as models. The formation of a strong reserve of artillery was a wise precaution in an army composed entirely of young soldiers. In the army of the Potomac it was organized by the brave Colonel Hunt, under the supervision of General Barry, and comprised three divisions, one of heavy artillery, another of light batteries on foot, and a third of horse-batteries. The latter, four in number, armed with three-inch cannon, solid and light, well provided with horses, and perfectly handled, accompanied the cavalry, which they frequently assisted in an effective manner without ever impeding its movements. These are the last lines we shall devote, by way of special mention, to the little regular army which we have followed sinc

aster, and eight others of the leaders, were hanged in Boston, September 26, 1676. April 18th, they set upon Sudbury with all their might, captured and killed a small relief band from Concord, and afterwards ambushed Captain Wadsworth's company, also on its way to protect the town. Captain Hugh Mason and his band from Watertown, aided by citizens of Sudbury, were the first who engaged the assailants, on the east side of the river; but after a severe contest they were obliged to retreat.

nes are in requisition every day, but sometimes the fish even secede. The Baltimore American, of Thursday, has the following paragraphs: Three companies of United States Light Artillery passed through here yesterday morning, from Washington, in a special train, for New York. The train left the metropolis at 40, and, reaching here at 9, passed on to Philadelphia. The companies were A, B and H, but of what regiments we could not learn. They were under the command, in part, of Captain Barry and Captain Allen, and mustered 213 men, exclusive of commissioned officers. Accompanying were seventy-five horses, with field pieces, caissons, &c. They occupied a train of twenty passenger cars, and will proceed to Fort Hamilton, a post which some of the force previously occupied. Considerable attention was excited by the appearance of the cars and men, as they passed through the city. The soldiers generally expressed great satisfaction in returning to the fort.

. New York, April 5. --The Post says it is rumored that the Government agents who were sent to England and France have returned, and report that both Powers set their faces against the Southern Confederacy, and will in no manner recognize or assist it. The Administration have determined to take immediate and vigorous measures for the enforcement of the laws. The Government has chartered the steamers Baltic and Ariel to carry troops, under sealed orders. The Baltic will carry Capt. Barry's company of Flying Artillery, and 90 men, and the Ariel seven or eight companies of infantry and marines. They will sail Sunday. The U. S. steamer Powhatan goes to sea tomorrow morning fully equipped and provisioned, and will probably take three companies of troops. The impression at the Navy-Yard is, that Forts Sumter and Pickens will both be reinforced. The Harriet Lane sailed to-day. A company of 100 men on Governor's Island to-day received marching orders.

ge crowd, and plied with all sorts of questions. Where did you come from? Where are you going? How many men are going? Will there be a fight? But the queries were useless, the men turning a deaf ear to all questions, of-no matter what character, for fear that they might be made to say something that was not right, although, in reality, they knew nothing, and therefore had nothing to communicate. The company that arrived was Company A. Second Regiment, United States Flying Artillery, Capt. Barry, numbering sixty men. Owing to the crowded state of the dock, and the fact that the stalls were not ready for the reception of the horses, the men were obliged to remain in the street for two or three hours, after which time they were permitted to go upon the dock. They had with them four guns, two of them being brass six-pounders, and the other two brass howitzers, of twelve pounds calibre. The men were all fine looking fellows, and looked as if a slight brush with an enemy would no
