"0 rtower-soft face, so lovely, lively and so
sweet."
I have lov’d, and it is. sweet angel, all to thee
I owe the rest thy witching light
Hath brought my soul; the darkest night
Thv mrlting glance makes lovely Clear to me ;
While thv heart with none of I.ov 's derision
Biooms forth the loveliest womanly sweets,
Thy e’er-thinking body so pleasantly greets
With ehasle-t motion-music oft. elysian,
That eli inns mv love t > idolization.
And tho’ I live the lover’s "agony, pain and
doubt,”
Not for worlds I'd throw a moment's misery out:
Passion’s pain is lover’s sweetest ration!
M v heart shall madly cherish thee, spark div ine.
And die, rise and love thee in soul’s coniine.

For fear of mockery.

It was in the time of autumn,
Wlc 'i leaves are turning brown—
Creen to vcl'ow and } id! and Mack;
And some were tumbling down.
I was the time of autumn,
When fruit are gathered in,
S uuo for the ore some i r the vat,
And some tor the miller s bin.
Then poor r.ion fell e playing,
For that their work was o'er;
And rich men fell a sighing,
That they could play no more.
F, - the summer time is a m. rrv time,
If a man have Ici-ure to play;
But the summer tin e is a weary time,
To him who must work all day.

Judge Hour's Declination.
A Washington correspondent of the
Wheeling Reyhter refers as follows to tlie
declination of Judge Huge to serve on the
« mm’.Uee of Accounts to which hewasap
I! inti .1 l>v the Speaker.
“Judge Hope’s declination grows out of
what 1. humorously Units his inability, to
comprehend tin duties oi tlie position. Tlie
('barman of thet’oimnittce, i rner < 1 Ma
ryland, is apparently new t > tlie rights and
jirivih pis ot a member ot Congress, and
ivheii, some time since, the Committee on
Way- and .Mean- made a mpiisiti ai on the
Stationery Clerk lor fourteen t risers and
the Clerk’cra- d th.it part of the order, he
apparently did not know what to do about
i». It seemed to him that a committee ei
a ;.'a t as that of W ays and Means should
icno v just exactly how much i rasing, it
wanted to do, and that it was a great piece
ol impertinence in a clerk to say that four
teen erasers were too many; but neverthe
t!:e «lerk carried his point. As Hope
vi. wed the matter, the ripht of Congress to

A beautiful and significant instance of
translating the Hible into present applica
tion and action, was ' he cfi;e of a little girl
who had read the old Jewish law about giv
ing first fruits to God. She had a strawber
ry bed in her garden, and when the first ber
ries were ripe her sister said: “O, that’s so
tiice! Now, you will have these sweet red
berries to cat! ’
Hut the other answered: “O no! I don't
cat the first fruits; 1 shall give theta to God.’
Her sifter asked, " How can you give them
to God?”
And she answered: “There is poor old
Mrs. Gray, who is so sick and p r and ne
ver has anything nice; 1 shall carry them
to her, for Jesus has said : Inasmuch as ye
| have dene it unto one of the least of these,
vc have done it unto me. That is the way
1 I shall give the fir-l fic.it. to Gi d.”
Afjrfl.y OutiCitUd,
Mi shy was Seldom deleatid and never

: had crossed the mountains with a few men
i into Clarke County, when he was informed
that a Federal officer, with a squad of cav
alrymen, was in the vicinity. The officer
had stopped at " « lav Hill," the residence
of Mr. Whiting, and M*»by made up hi
mind to capture officer and nun. 1IU ac
tion was prompt, as usual, lie went to
I "Clay Hill,” captured the Federal officer
j while he was seated at supper, and carried
j him off prisoner to 1’ppi rville, cast of tl c

unpleasant about t!: ' hole aflair. Mushy
i and his pris >ncr were on the most fr»< ndly
term*. The partisan bad ridden his favor
ite gray mar. ■ on the seo.it, and at l pper
i ville was standing Inside lur, ready to

“ Yes,” was the gratified reply of rh par
tisan, as le patted tl.c marc's neck. The
officer sauntered closer.
“ A vt ry line animal 1” he repeated.
“ I'll try her paces!” And, throwing hiuisell
into tl.c saddle, he di-appiared at tullspc ed,
and Colonel Mosby m u r again saw his la

Heckles* Mosby.
Although a guerrilla, Mosby was n brav.
i man. He would run risks and take chan
ces which he would not order his men to
take. Hu was iu Washington three differ
ent times during the war; in Paltimore
four or live times, and in more than u dor.e»
instances lie penetrated the Federal lines
for information. N< ar Middletown he wa
oncc cut off by Federal cavalry who held
! the i ike in both directions. When ordered
; to surrender ho drove his horse our the
| stone wall and got away through the fields,
i I I.r e bullets pierced his clothing, his horse
was stinck twice, and an overcoat strapped
to his saddle was clean cut away by bullets.
One day while he was eating in the I.tiruy
valley si.\ I'nion a\a!rv walked in on him.
i l’liey did not know him as Mo .hy, but con
jectured that he was a guerrilla. As they
! attacked him he shot two and dasliul
! through a w indow and made oil'w ith one
' of their horses. He was once capture d iu
Washington while on a spying expedition,
Hut feigned drunkenness and made a dash
fir liberty while on the way to the l'rovost
Marshal's cilice. At that time lie had
plenty of proofs on Ids per-on to have con
vict, d him a.-a spy. Near Warrenton he

called out:
“ I>id any of them mules come this

“ Haven't seen any.”
“Cuss the critters—they stampeded on
