red, must always be won at once into her arms. If it was dirty, she would have been glad to bathe it; if ill, to heal it. It would not have seemed to her anything worthy the name of love, to seek only those who were wholesome and clean. Like the young girl in Holmes's most touching poem, she would have claimed as her own the outcast child whom nurses and physicians had abandoned. ‘Take her, dread Angel! Break in love This bruised reed and make it thine!’ No voice descended from above, But Avis answered, She is mine! When I think of the self-devotion which the human heart can contain — of those saintly souls that are in love with sorrow, and that yearn to shelter all weakness and all grief — it inspires an unspeakable confidence that there must also be an instinct of parentage beyond this human race, a heart of hearts, cor cordium. As we all crave something to protect, so we long to feel ourselves protected. We are all infants before the Infinite; and as I turned from that cot

of mirth, and tenderness To heal the slightest wound from it. And his the pathos touching all Life's sins and sorrows and regrets, Its hopes and fears, its final call And rest beneath the violets. His sparkling surface scarce betrays The thoughtful tide beneath it rolled, The wisdom of the latter days, And tender memories of the old. What shapes and fancies, grave or gay, Before us at his bidding come! The Treadmill tramp, the One-Horse Shay, The dumb despair of Elsie's doom! The tale of Avis and the Maid, The plea for lips that cannot speak, The holy kiss that Iris laid On Little Boston's pallid cheek! Long may he live to sing for us His sweetest songs at evening time, And, like his Chambered Nautilus, To holier heights of beauty climb! Though now unnumbered guests surround The table that he rules at will, Its Autocrat, however crowned, Is but our friend and comrade still. The world may keep his honored name, The wealth of all his varied powers; A stronger claim has love than
ood old town is as serene to day as the blue May sky that bends above her. All apprehension of an early attack from the Yankees has disappeared. The passage of companies, battalions, and regiments through our streets has ceased. The only military spectacle that enlivens them is furnished by an occasional squad of Continentals--Company K, 4th Regiment, noted for their constant attendance upon John Brown, from the 18th of October, 1859, to the end of his valuable life, and now commanded by Capt. Avis, the jailor of that worthy,--on their way to mount guard over the Hospital, or the thirty-two pounders sent up from Richmond. A large number of these guns are still here, enough having been sent down, it is thought, for all necessary purposes. The Hospital was opened here ten days ago, most of its few inmates having been sent up from Harper's Ferry, and the rest contributed by the Mississippians, who suffered from the cold and rainy weather which welcomed them to the upper country.

m to retire, which they did in perfect order. From persons who were engaged in the fight, we learn that not more than four or five hundred of Col. Harper's Regiment were in the action.--The Continental Morgan Guards, of our town, commanded by Captain Avis, and the West Augusta Guards, of Staunton, were in the thickest of the battle from first to last; and it was only in these companies that any casualties were sustained. As well as we can learn, there were but two of our men killed; their names, we learn, are Farrish and Snapp, of Captain Avis' company, whilst there were eight or ten wounded, but none of them seriously so. Five or six of the wounded have been brought to town, and are receiving every necessary attention. The loss of the enemy in killed alone has been estimated by those who were in the field after the fight at from 100 to 150. A company which had been detached from the main body, were captured by Capts. Patrick and Hardesty's companies of Cavalry. Forty-three of the
