THE DYING BRIDE.
BT CLARA S1M8.
Now husband, raise me in your arm.
And press me to your heart;
For pillowed thus, methinks I can
"With fortitude depart.
Yet, O, press me closer, closer still,
For weaker do I grow;
E'en now I feel the dews of death
Fast gathering on my biow.
Last night, all decked in bridal robes,
This hand to yon I gave,
And fondly dreamed a dream of bliss,
Which ends now in my grave.
My snowy robe, eo soft and light,
Most to my shroud give place;
While these flowing tresses bright,
You'll gather off my face.
My wreath of orange-blossoms sweet,
And veil of fleecy lace,
Most both alike abandoned be,
For soon I'm through life's race.
In heaven I lonJly hepe to wear
A brilliant, shining crown:
Forar.gels whisper there I'll go,
When hence my spirit's flown.
Yes, cull me wife, my husband dear,
Ard call it s.flly, too:
For soon the sou rd no more shall thrill '
This .inkir.g heart so true; I
For, Waller, though but lat eve your bride,
To-night a rival's come, j
Who sternly bids me follow him,
And seek a fairer home. j
To husband, home and mother- all, j
So fvndly clings my heart, j
Scarce can I my God invoke
For peace tie I depart. '
Come, sweet mother, kneel beside the conch j
And breathe a prayer for me '
Unto our heaveuly Father,
i
When thiscoptive spirit's free. i

Now give me, mother, a last sweet kiss, j
Then bless your dying child; I
For hovering angels round me wait,
With lovely features mild.
New, Walter, let nic feel your breath
Warm on my fadinp cheek,
And strive the while, my hutbaud dear,
To feel submission meek.
A moment hence 1 leave you both
You whom I love so well;
Yea, now my spirit flies
Husband mother faro-thee-well!

WASHINGTON IN LOVE !
In 1755 twenty years before the brilliant
era which shines like a rich gem in the pages
of the world's history a gentleman named
Beverly Robinson, occupied a dwelling (sit
uated in New York,) which, at that time,
was considered a model of elegance and
comfort, although, nccording to the prevail
ing taste of the present day, it was nothing
of the kind. It was standing, very little
altered from its original condition, six years
ago, oo this side of the Hudson river, with ic
two or three miles of West Point. Mr.
Robinson enjoyed all the luxuries known to
the colony, aud some, beside, which the other
T7 AniT n II il enma Itfkci.lja t-ViiiK I Vi a rki.w
colonists did not know for instance, a rich earl niannoo.i ueyeny noumson,
and massive tea urn, said, by the gentleman's i was 'be colonel of the Royal American regi--?0on.r.o
i, ,.;! r .;,ment raised in this State, and his son was
kind, and for a long time the only one, used
in this countrv. In thia dwelling, sonmch
admired, theVpace between thefloors and
ceiling was exceedingly low, and in many of
the rooms (set off, about the fire-pl.iccs, bv
polished tiles,) the rafters were massive and
uncovered, and all things else in the struc
ture were exceedingly primitive. In this
house wer9 bon. or reared ahroodoftho
most prominent and inveterate foes to the
patriots of the American Revolution, and
the object of that struggle, that history men
tions. Two generations of the Robinson
family bore arms and held office in the ar
mies of the English King, and fought deter
minedly against our sires and grandsires.
Well, in this house, which will alreadv ;

but without cfl"i-ct. Mrs. Robinson final! v
came to the rescue, and addressed the colo
nel in direct terms.
'Pray, friend Washington, may we be
made arquait.ted with the causo of your
dullness? Thc-re is some reason for it, and
that reason lies with us. Tell it.'
In vain the colouel argued that nothing
had occurred to vex him .h.t ho was not j
In want of any farther inducement to present
for future happiness; his entertainers would
not regard his words, but continued their
pertinacious endeavors to sol ye this mystery.
At length, wearied by importunity, Wash
ington then twenty j-ears before his great
r.ess leaned over the table, played with his
glass, attempted to look unconcerned, and
whispered to Mr. Robinson the siuglo word
Mary,'
'Yes?' responded Mr. R., interrogatively,
as if unable to comprehend Washington's
meaning.
'Is she well? Does she still abide with
you?
'She does,' replied tho lady of the man
sion. Washirgton again becamo apathetic and
contemplative, while several significant
glances passed between the geutleman and
his wife. Some five minutes were spent in
perfect silence, which was only interrupted
by the exit of Mrs. R. from the apartment.
She speedily returned, accompanied by a
beautiful young lady, whom Washington,
with a countenance beaming joyfully, arose
to greet with becoming respect.
The young lady was Mary Phillipse, sis
ter of Mrs. Rohinson, and daughter of the
owner of the Phillipse estate.
It was perhaps, singular, but the time of
her appearance, aud the period of the return
of Washington's cordiality, was identical.
Strange as it was, too, midnight found this
young lady and the Virginia colonel alone.
The conjugal twain who had kept them
company iu the early part of the evening
had retired to their bed-chamber. More re
markable than all, daylight found still this
couple togpther. The candles were buried
down to the sockets of the sticks, and the
fire-place, instead of exhibiting a cheerful
blaze, harbored only a gigantic heap of ashes
and a few dying embers. What could have
prolonged that interview? Not mutual love;
for the parties preserved a ceremonious dis
tance, and the young lady evinced a hauteur
that could be matched only by her compan
ion in after year. And yet the truth must
be told. There was love on ono sue; the
colonel, smitten by the graces and rare ac
complishments of a lady as beautiful as na
ture's rarest works, was endeavoring to win
her heart in exchange for his own. He made
his confession just at tba cold grey of the
dawn of morning broke up the dark clouds
in the east. Ho confessed, in cautious and
measured terms; it is true, the extent of his
passion, and avowed what it was bis earnest
hope would be the result; that was the gain
ofberhand. The lady hesitated. Was it
the ni-desty of the maiden who dares not to
trust her lips with the confession of affection
it'is her heart's desire to make? No! She
respected, although she did not love her in
terlocutor, and she felt diffident in making
known to him the true 6tate of her feelings.
At last candor triumphed over delicacy, and
she informed Washington in 6et terms that
she loved another! She refused him! The
reatest of modern men was vanquished,
land by a woman! He was speechless and
I cowerless.
Tremblin g, with compressed lips and a
countenance ashy pale, be crept from the
place just as the old negress of the house
hold entered to make preparations for the
breakfast. He sought his room, threw him
self upon his couch, dressed as he was, and
lapsed into a troubled sleep. The only vic
tory ever won at his expense penetrated him
to the soul. He was unhappy supremely
wretched! The future conqueror of thou
sands of brave men suffered because he h;id
been rejected bv a female. This was his
first, but not his last wooing

all that you will say: you will speak of his
virtues his sisters his rank, and his ex
tenuating circumstances; perhaps endeavor
to convince me of his innocence.'
Robinson struggled with his emotions a
few seconds, but unable to repress his feel
ings, he spoke but a single word, with such
thrilling accent that he started at the sound
of his own voice. That word was George.
'General Washington, Colonel Robinson,'
responded the great patriot, laying great
stress on each military title.
'Enough,' said the other. I have one
more argument if that fails me I have done
behold my friend!'
Your friend! Who is he? What is his
name?'
One other single word was spoken as the
heavy cloak in which the mysterious friend
was clothed, fell to the floor, and exposed
the mature figuro of Mr. Morris, and that
word, uttered with a start by Washington,
was Mary. The suspense was painful, but
brief.
Sir,' said Washington, instantly recover
ing, 'this trifling is beneath your station and
my dignity. I regret that you must go back
to Sir Ilanry Clinton with the intelligence
that your best intercession has failed. See
that these persons are conducted beyond the
lines in safety,' continued he, throwing open
the door of the apartment, and addressing
one of his aids.
Abashed and mortified. Mr. Robinson and
his sister-in-law took their leave. The wo
man had gained a conquest once, but her
second assault was aimed at a breast invul
nerable. Who is Damaging the Union Cause
iu
the South-Pulpit Politics.
The following, which we take from the
National Advertiser of Juty 2, a Union pa
per published at New Orleans, under the
auspices of our army, will be read with in
terest. It says:
"The proclamations of Fremont, Phelps
Hunter have done much to weaken the
cause of the United States. The President's
proclamation annulling tho?e of the three
Generals is doing much good. What ismost
wanted is the exclusion 0 politics from the pul
pit. The reverened gentlemen occupying
the different pulpits should connne their la
bors to spiritual matters, allowing all men
to go to heaven in their own way. This
terrible war was brought about by those
wearing clearical robes at the North, and if
those of similar calling at the South had not
been provoked into a course equally adverse
to common sense and public good, there
would not now be that misery which per
vades the whole community, North and
South."
It is the exclusion of politics from the
pulpit in the North which is most wanted
bv the Union men of the South. Will
Northern patriots see that is done?
A Fling at Dressing Gowns.
My name is Albert Fling. I am an ac
tive, buainess, married man, that is wedded
to Mrs. Fling, and married to business. I
had the misfortune, some time since, to break
a log; and before it was mended, Madame
Fling, hoping to sooth my hours of con
valescence, caused to be made for me a dress
ing gown, which, on due reflection, I believe
was modeled alter the latest style of straight
jacket. This belief is confirmed by the fact
that when 1 put it on, 1 am at once confined

Iu the hours of torture endured while

to truly tell me where she first conceived the
thought that there was a grain of comfort to
be found 5d bearing it on my back! She has

We find in the Egyptian temples paint

that they are antiquely heathenish. And
as we always associate a man that wear one

The third time I was blacking my boots,

I had chosen what Fanny called her con

who caught me shaving.
'Poor Fannj'I'said she. before Icould turn

'Miss X said I, turning toward her
folding my arms over my dressing-gowm

If you had observed her wilt, droop, stut

My wife went to the sea shore last sum

Miss X , who lives opposite called to see
her. In less than five minutes, my wife was
a sad, moaning, desolate, injured, disconso

IJow-ow-ow c-ould you d-do it, Al-lal-bert?'
she ejaculated, flaoding every word as
it came out with tears..
Do what?'
' Oh - woo, oh - woo-wooh-w a- ah !' .
Miss X here thouzht proper to leave,
casting from ner eyes a small hardware shop
in the way of daggers at me, as much as to
say. You are vicious, and I hate cheese (the
atrical for hate ye.)
Fanny, left to herself, revealed all to me.
MissX , through the Venetian blinds,
had seen a gown in my room late at night.
'It is too true,' said I, 'too, too true.'
Al-lal-al-bert you will b-b-break roy

'Come on,' said I, 'you shall behold the
destroyer of your peace. You shall tear her
to pieces, or I'll be d dashed if I don't. I
am tired of the blasted thing.'
I grasped her hand and led her to the back
chamber. 'There against the wall.'
It is ' said she.
It is,' said I, 'my dressing-gown! I will
never again put it on my shoulders never.
Here goes!' Rip it went from the tail up the

'Hold, Albeit! I will send it to the wound

'Never! They are men, bricks, warriors.
Such female frippery as this shall never de

sell it to the Jews for a pair of China sheep
or a crockery shepherd. Vamoa!'

Gen I. Butler's Woman Order The Gen
eral Gives hi reason (or Issuing It.
Headquabtebs Department of the Golf,
New Orleans, July 2, 1862.
Mr Dear Sir: I am as iealous of the
good opinion of my friends as I am careless
of the slanders of my enemies, and your
Kind expression in regard to Order No. Zo
led me to say a word to you on the subject.
That it ever could have been so miscon
ceived as it ha3 been by some portions of
the Northern press is wonderful, and would
lead one to exclaim with the Jew, "O, Fa
ther Abraham, what these Christians are,
whose own bard dealings teach them to sus
pect the very thoughts of others."
What was the state of things to which
the women order applied?
We were two thousand five hundred men,
in a city seven miles long by two to four
wide, of a hundred and fifty thousand in
habitants, qll hostile, bitter, defiant, explo
sive, standing literally on a magazine a
spark only needed for destruction. The
devil had entered the hearts of the women
nfithis town (you know seven of them chose
Mary Magdalen for a residence.) to stir up
strife in every way possible. Every oppro
brious epithet, every insulting gesture was
made by these beieweled . becrinolined and
laced creatures, calling themselves ladies,
towards my soldiers and officers, from the
windows of houses and in the streets. How
long do you suppose our flesh and blood
could have stood this without retort? That
would lead to disturbances and riot, from
which we must clear the streets with artil
lery and then a howl that we had murder
ed these fine women. I had arrested the
men who hurrahed for Beauregard. Could
I arrest tho women? No. What was to be
done? No order could bo ma3o save one
that would execute itself. With anxious,
careful thought I hit upon this: "Women
who Insult my soldiers are to be regarded
and treated as common women plying their
vocation."
Pray how do you treat a common woman
plying her vocation in the streets? You
pass her by unheeded. She can not insult
you! As a gentleman, you can and wi'l
take no notice of her. If she speaks, her
words are not opprobrious. It is only when
she becomes a continuous and positive nui
sance that you call a watchman and give
her in charge to him.
But some of the Northern editors seem to
think that whenever one meets such a wo
man, one must stop her, talk with her, in
sult her, or hold dalliance with her, and so
from their own conduct they construed my
order.
The editor of the Boston Courier may so
deal with common women, and out of the
abundance of the heart his mouth may
speak, but so do not I.
Why, those she adders of New Orleans
themselves were at once shamed into pro
priety of conduct by tho order, and from
that date no woman has either insulted or
annoyed any live soldier or officer, and of
a certainty no soldier has insulted any wo
man. wncn i passea tn rough. Baltimore on the
23d of February last, the members of my
staff were insulted by the gestures o'f the
ladies there. Not so in New Orleans.
Ono of the worst possible of all these wo
men showed disrespect to the remains of
gallant young Da Kay, and you will see her
punishment, a copy of the order which I
enclose, is at once a vindication aud a con
struction of my order.
I can only say that I would issue it again
under like circumstances. Again thanking
you for your kind interest,
I am, truly your friend,
BENJ. F. BUTLER,
Major General Commanding.
A Specimen of the Liberty of the Press
Allowed Republican Journals The
Quiucy (Illinois) Tribune, a German Repub
lican paper, lately contained the following
article:
'The American nation bleeds just now
under the blows of the Nemesis for the
crime of slavery, which both sections are
guilty of. With every new blow, with every
death news that reaches the parental bouse,
a spark of enlightenment comes, and our
youth dies and bleeds, therefore, not in vain.
The longer the chastisement lasts, tho more
thoroughly will be the change. A good deal
has happened already. The army has be
come Abolitionized, and is becoming more
so from day to day. She would long ago
have run home, if she could, as her officers.
The answer to the President's call for 200,
000300,000 will be a terrible verdict for
his war policy. Every body will remain
home, and the border States had well look
to their self-defense. For from the Admin
istration we need not look for protection
against Jackson's columns. She will be
forced to conscription, and then the people
will feel how foolish it is to refuse the arm
of the negro that has been offered.
We hope then to get an infamous peace,
a mediation of France and England, as in
Mexico, and then a forced conscription is as
impossible as the arming of the negro. The
financial misery will do ber share, and then
well, then we hope to have a change ic
Government, either by abdication or im
peachment.' If there is any such thing a3 treason in j

From the Richmond Enquirer, July 1
An Incident of the Late Battles.
The Yankees are distinguished for the
tenacity with which they cling to a pre
sumptuous hope. On tho day when tha
battles was set in motion that put to flight
the Federal army around Richmond, sever
al of their officers were discussing the na
ture of the operations in the Valley. One
of them was expatiating learnedly upon the
predicament in which Jackson was suppos
ed certainly , to be, and was engaged in
making a diagram on the smooth earth io
the yard of one of the farm-houses in which,
they were quartered, and, "suiting the ac
tion to the word," was demonstrating that
"here was Jackson," "there was Fremont,"
"here, again, was Shields," and "there was
the army of McDowell," and. "consequent
ly, it was impossible for Jackson to make)
his escape!'' Befoio the sanguine officer
had ceased the disauisi'ion the roar of
Jackson's artillery began to ba beared, and
a ball came pounding away into the very
house uelore which they were standing.
The battle commenced, the defeat succeed
ed, and among the prisoners brought in by
the invincible hero's troops was the identi
cal officer who bad convinced himself, and
was convincing those arouud him, that ho
was not within a hundred mues oi me
place.
fr7-The energies of the Irish laborers in
some of theNorthern cities are taking wrong
directions. The negroes are not to blame
for workinsr for low wasos. They must
either work, starre or steal, and it is decid
edly to their credit that they are willing to
work for low wages in preference to pilfer
ing. The Irish may be certain that tue negro
will rt9pI ns hi(?h wases as he can. and that
he does not work for the love of the thing.
Ofeonrao manufacturers will employ those
who will do their work best for the least
money, and if the negro, rather than starve,
will work for less than tho Irish, capitalists
will employ tha negro. This is a settled
law of political economy and common sense.
The superfluous muscle of the Hibernians
had better be expended upon tha Abolition
politicians, whose pestiferous agitations have
assisted in producing tho war which is ruin
ing the country, and whoso policy has
created so considerable aa influx of negroes
into the free States. Ifany class deserves
to be kicked about this matter that class is
the Abolitionists, and the best sort of kick
ing to give them is to kick them out of of
fices which they only fill to disgrace them
and to bring untold calamities upon the peo
ple. Maysville Eagle.
