Hsjfti I come creeping:, creeping everywhere ;
By the dusty roadside,
On the funny hillside,
by noisy br -->k.
In every shady nook,
I come creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here I come creeping, smiling everywhere ;
All round the open door.
Where sit» the aged poor,
Here where the children play
In the bright and merry May,
I come creeping, creeping everywhere ;
Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere ;
In the noisy city street,
My pleasant face you'll meet,
Cheering the sick at heart,
Toiling his busy part.
Silently creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere ;
You cannot -ee me coming,
Nor hear my low sweet humming:
For in the starry night.
And the glad morning light,
I come quietly creeping everywhere.
Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere ;
More welcome than the flowers
In summer's pleasant huu.s ;
The gentle cow is glad,
And the merry bird not sad.
To see me creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere ;
When you re numbered with the dead,
In your still and narrow bed,
In the happy spring I'll come,
And deck your silent home.
Creeping, silently creeping every where.
Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere ;
M; humble song of praise
il»t gratefully I raise
To Him ut whose command
I beautify the land,
Creeping. silently creeping everywhere.
Bachelor'* hall! what a ,'u-or ! ' .king place it is,
Kape me Irom such ail the days of ray life ;
Sure, bat I think what u burnin* disgrace it is,
Never at all t • be getting a wife.
See the 1.1 Bachelor gloomy and sad cn • gh,
Placing hi-, taykittlc over the lire,
Soon it tips over—St. I‘atri k 1 lie's mad t • ugh,
(If he were present) to light with the squire.
Now. like a h- g in a mortar bed wall--wing.
Awkward enough see him kneading his dough,
Troth, if the bread he could ate without swallowing
How it would favor his palate you know.
Ilis dishcloth is missing—the pig'are devouring it
In the pursuit he has broken his >hi:» ;
A plate wanted washing—grimalkin is scouring it
Thunder and turf, what a pickle he's in !
Pots, dish- s and pans, such greasy commodities.
Ashes and pratie skins kiver the tloor ;
Ilis cupboard’s a storehouse of comical oddities,
Things that had never been neighbors before.
His meal being over, the table *s left sitting so ;

Och ; leNrim alone f*»r a baste of a man !
Late in the night he g es to bed shiverin’.
Never a bit is the bed made at .ill ;

Bad luck to the picture of Bachelor's Hall.
Buffalo, Detroit, Saiuluikv, Toledo,
Cleveland, and even young Dutch dem
ocratic .Milwaukee, were scared out of
their p.opricly—if they ever had any —
over the late rebel raid that was to as
sail them from Canada. A few crazv
loafers, who would as soon be in tophet
as in war, (they ran away to Canada to
escape fighting!) wore to seize some
fishing smacks on Lake Erie, loose the
prisoner’s on Johnson's Island, seize
more boats, paddle down to Buffalo,
burn it. and then keep “a goin on it"
till the North was s pielched. Of course
every Democrat in the west, and partic
ularly in Ohio, Michigan and New York
was to assist in this grand raid on the
high seas of that little bowl of water
called Erie. The "loyal"’ papers, as
they insist on calling their sheets, were
excited to madness. City Councils got
together to provide for the public safe
ty. Old ladies .of both sexes, young
knaves and middle aged ninnies who
have hoped or feared that something
“would happen," were sure that “the
crisis Lad arrived,” and the devil was
to pay sure enough. Troops were or
dered out of Kentucky where they were
needed, and railroaded to north Ohio.
Lord Lyons got out of bed at the noon
of night and showed his dreadful des
patch to Stanton.
Those who are elevated to the skies
at a success which Las no determinate
or definite advantage—the taking of a
small town, the capture of 100 males,
and the confiscation of negroes, for
instance—the same persons are also
frightened into the slough of despond
by a trifling reverse to our arms—these
men let the dose of “Lake piracy" go
down into their stomachs and have its
effect on their animal and mental sys
tems. Persons who viewed the magni
tude of the job and die weakness of the
reported raiders laughed the rumor out
of company, and in a few days came
the w ords : “The troops ordered to the
North have returned. The story was
probably a hoax!"
An army captain, says the North lo
The Voice of the Grass.
Bachelor s Hall,
Beau Hackettoa the Canadian Raid
wa Times, albeit a Republican and a
friend of ours, thought that bo could
o-luss the origin of the canard. "1 nc
Lake Erie cities want excuses for the
construction of harbor defences and
improvements in shipping facilities, and
Chicago wants a canal to enable her to
bring gunboats from the Mississippi.
A good big scare will furnish an argu
ment for the outlav of millions of dol
lars on the Lakes, and the consequent
enriching of wire pullers in all the cities
exposed.” We thought at it a moment
and gave it up as a hit.
The Chicago Post has a well-written
burlesque on this subject. After stat
ins gracefully that Chicago is not yet
destroyed, he proceeds to disclose the
fact that pirates on Lake Michigan arc
hunting for Chicago with a virulence
only equalled by the scccssioners about
Sandusky and Johnson's Island. He is
prohibited from publishing all he knows;
he starts off in this way ;
The following despatch was received
here at a late hour la-t night ;

SECOND DESPATCH.
Beau Hackett. .Maj. Gen. —General
Cun-ternatiou is in command at Detriot
and General Damme Blockheads has
charge of the forces at Toledo, and will
sand out a blockheading squadron iu a
day or two. These gentlemen will lend
vou any assistance you want.
On Dabe.
ANSWER.
O! Dabe: —Dry up now and don’t
bother me. I'm on duty. If you per
sist in your annoyance you will be
blamable for opening a fire iu the rear.
Send me ten dollars to buy commissary
stores. Will pay it back when I see
you again.
Beau Hackett,
Maj. Gen. comd'g the people.
The following order was issiued at
ten o'clock this a. m.:
Head Quarters Army oe the Lake
Coast and Harbor Defenses,
Chicago river and Calumet in
clusive.
General Order -Vo. 1.
It having been made known to the
major general in command about here
that a movement is on foot by a squad
of armed men on the lakes, consisting
of confederate refugees, penniless loaf
ers, British su’ j cts and pickpockets to
attack the city of Chicago and reduce
it to a vulgar fraction, the major gen
eral commanding takes pleasure in let
ting his gallant command know that
there is an opportunity for some of them
to lay down their lives in defense of
their bleeding country. Do your duty,
fellow soldiers, and we have got the
dead wood on 'em.
The city is this day declared under
martial law. It is your duty, one and
all, to enforce this law. I'm not going
to run around after you and sec that
you do it : and if you don't do it there
is nobody to blame but yourselves. If
any man attempts to haul down the
American flag make him treat. Any
man found with Greek fire in hi.- pocket
will be hung up to the nearest lamp
post. Eternal vigilance will gather no
moss. You must do your whole duty.
Improved lots on Michigan avenue must
not be sold for less than a dollar a foot,
for a less rate than that will have a ten
dency to discourage our armies. Any
property holder on Michigan avenue
who violates this rule will be drawn and
quartered—drawn to the police station
on a common dray and quartered there
ail night.
The Union must and shall be pre
served. War is a big thing. Une man
can't do u. I like war muchly. I like
anything one man can't do. If a fiSgt
does come—lf it devolves upon you. my
brave peple to roll hack this unrightcou
invasion, w ill you roll it ? I am pre
pared to say that you will if you can't
help it. I will lead you. I will be
your guiding star in the midst of the
carnage—amid the boom of cannon,
the roar of musketry, the shrieks of the
dying and the smell of the river. If I
advance, follow me ; if I fail, avenge
me ; if I flinch throw rotten egg= at me.
\Ve must be discreet. Discretion is
nine points in the law. I don't know
how many joints there are in the law ;
there may be million, but no matter.
Don't fire a shot till the enemy can see
the white of your eyes. That's not
original with me : Gen. Jackson got it
off at New Orleans.
Largo men will not be put on duty
for the next twenty-four hours. Loan
men must serve fir=t that the fat ones
may have an opportunity to order their
coffins before gC.r.g i .to an engagement
Capt. Jack Cass will act as my as
sistant adjutant general. He will visit
all the saloons in the city in person and
enforce a draught. In a few days we
shall appropriate the saloons for bar
racks. The proprietors will not be al
lowed to remove anything before the
buildings are occupied by the soldiers.
The Theatre, Museum, Bryan and Met
ropolitan Halls will be used for hospit
als. No price of admission will be
charged. Persons who become wound
before a fight takes place must pay their
own doctor bills.
My countrymen, once more 1 appeal
to you in the name of patriotism. W ill
you stand by me ye whose fathers and
brothers and uncles, have borne the
privations and sufferings incident to a
pioneer life, for the .-ake of gobbling up
corner lots in the city of Smells ? Ye,
who for years, have been in danger from
fire aud flood and such ills as flesh is
heir to; ye, who have snuffed afar off
the everlasting odors of Chicago river ;
ye who have partaken of the city's lux
uries, drank of its crystal waters, and
donated your precious blood to the fowl
appetites of its musijuitoes —will you go
back on the old town now ! If you will
say so. and I'll be hanged if we don’t
let her rip.
I believe you will stand by the city.
1 b lieve you are loyal to the backbone
even to the alimentary canal. Let us
rally roun 1 the old flag, and plant it in
triumph wherever we want to. lie
member the last words of Captain Kidd.
I don't remember them myself just now
but you find can them somewhere.
Beau Hackett,
Major General comd'g things.
Capt. Jack Cass, A. U. S. A. A. G.
You sec, Mr. Editor, I am doing all
in my power, and more too, to save our
homes and firesides from the sacrih gious
grasp of the ac cursed foe. I shall is
sue thirty or forty more orders to-day,
which will bo transmitted to you in due
time.
Circumstances under which I have
no control of myself have placed a great
responsibility upon me, and I mean to
work it off gradually. But when this
0 *
cruel war is discontinued, then I shall
make a Farewell Address to hand down
to posterity. I want to engage a res
ponsible man to hand it down for me.
One of my scouts who has just been
rcconn utering has returned, and report
having found a barrel of combustible
matter concealed in a home near Bull's
Head. It was labelled "Old Bourbon.”
I have ordered its destruction, and sent
a body of men to perform the service.
Would go myself, but am engaged at
O • ' CO
present destroying a barrel of the same
sort found in another quarter. lam
convinced there is a secret foe in our
midst, but I think I can prevent harm
from any and every source.
I sent my orderly to camp Douglas
with a dray for a cargo of grape and
shell. We have no arms yet, but we
need amunition. The orderly returned
with a ton of grapes and a barrel of
oyster shells. He will be shot in a man
ner corresponding to his rank.
The following telegraphic correspon
dence has just been concluded between
myself and the head cf the nation :
0! Dabe, Washington. D. C.: —Send
me twenty-five columbiads and a few
mortars. Don't make a mi-take and
send the kind of mortars they use in
drug stores.
Beau Hackett,
Maj. Gen. commanding Here.
ANSWER.
Bran Hackett. Maj. Gen. Chicago.
lll. —Don't bother me. I'm on duty.
Your demand reminds me of a little
sto—. [Wires down.]
Our domestic foes. I am reliably in
formed, are cutting the wires ail along
between this city and Washington.—
They are also cutting wires in a hoop
skirt factory on Clark street. But we
are safe. I have got the whole arrange
<_ C
mem under my thumb.
When next you hear from me, I will
doubtless be in the lake, struggling for
the cause cf American Independence.
1 am, warfully,
Beau Hackett.

Judicial Combat between a Man and a
Dog.
On the >th of October. 1361, there
took place in the Island of Notre
Dame, Paris, a combat, which illus
trates strikingly the maxims and ideas
prevalent in that age, and is, perhaps,
the mo.-t angular instance on record of
the appeals to "the judgment of God"
in criminal cases. M. Aubrey de
Montdidier, a French gentleman, when
travelling through the forest of Bondy,
v as murdere 1 and buried at the foot of
a tree. Ills dog remained several days
beside his grave, and only left the spot
when urged by hunger. The faithful
animal proceeded to Paris and present
ed himself at the house of an intimate
friend of his master’s, making the most
piteous bowlings to announce the loss be
had sustained. After being supplied
with food, he renewed his lamentations,
moved toward the door, looked round to
see whether he was followed, aftd re
turning to his master's friend, laid hold
of him by the coat, as if to signify that
he should come along with him. The
singularity of these movements on the
part of Jog. coupled with the non-ap
pearance of his master, from whom he
was generally inserablc, induced the
person in question to follow the animal.
Leading the wav. the log arrived in
time at the foot of a tree in the forest
of Bendy, where he commenced scratch
ing and tearing up the ground, at the
same time recommencing the most pit
eous lamentations. On digging the
spot thus indicated, the body of the
murdered Aubry was exposed to view.
N(4 trace of the assassin could for a
time be discovered ; but, after awhile
the dog happening to be confronted with
an individual named Chevalier -Macaire,
he flew at the man’s throat, and could
only with the utmost difficulty, be forc
ed to let go his hold. A similar fury
w as manifested by the dog on every sub
sequent occasion that he met this per
son. Such an extraordinary hostility
on the part of the animal, who was
otherwise remarkably gentle anil good
tempered, attracted universal attention.
It was remembered that he had been
always devotedly attached to his mas
ter. against whom Macaire had cher-
LhcJ the bitterest enmity. Other cir
cum tnnccs combined to strengthen the
suspicions now aroused. The king of
France, informed of all the rumors in
circulation on this subject, ordered the
dog to be brought before him. The an
imal remained perfetly quiet till it rec
ognized .Macaire amid a crowd of cour
tiers, and then rushed forward to seize
him with a tremendous bay. In these
days the practice of the judicial combat
was in full vigor, that mode of settling
doubtful cases being frequently resorted
to. as an appeal to “the judgment of
God,*’ who it was believed, would inter
pose specially to shield and vindicate
injured innocence. It was decided by
his Majestv that this arbitrament
should determine the point at issue ;
and he accordingly ordered that a duel
should take place between Macaire
and the dog of the murdered Au
bry. The lower animals were frequent
ly* during the middle ages, subjected to
trial, and the process was conducted
against them with all the parade of le
gal ceremonial employed in the ca c c of
their betters.
Such an encounter, therefore, be
tween the human and canine cn ation.
would not in the fourteenth century,
appear specially extraordinary or un
precedented, The ground for the com
bat was marked off in the Island of No
tre Dame, then an open space. .Ma
caire made his appearance armed with
large club, whilst the dog had an empty
cask, into which he could retreat and
make his spring from.
On being let loose, he immediately
ran up to his adversary, attacked him
I * 3
fir-1 on one side and then on the other,
avoiding as he did so, the blows from
Macaire’s cudgel, and at last with a
bound, seized the latter by the throat.
The murderer was thrown down it then
and there obliged to make confession of
Lis crime, in the presence of the King
and his whole court.
Take a ro c e that is faded, and after
throwing some common sulphur on a
chafing dish of hot coals, hold the rose
over the fumes and and it wiil become
quite white. Then dip it into a basin
of water, and giving it to any dne, tell
him to put it into his drawer or box, and
close the place tightly. Five or six
hours afterwards tell him to open the
box, and he will find to his astonish
ment, instead of the white rose he put
there, one perfectly red.
The door between us and God can
not be open when that between us and
our fellow men is shut.
