At all the recent demonstrations of our very loyal neighbors in honor of the young Prince Arthur, the old ami yet ridiculous custom of toast-drinking it' the table was observed. "Gentlemen, fill your glasses!" was again and again the demand of the presiding genius to men, whose home had for years and very often been saddened by the presence of drunken sons; and besides, there was Sir John A. Macdonald at the table drunk, at the last demonstration at that other city, ami doubtless he wouldjbe drunk again to-day before he left the table, to the great scandal of that splendid province of which he is the chief minister or premier. Nevertheless, "Fill your glasses, gentlemen!"

No, a woman dressed in a long white robe. It was the veritable Miss Hamilton, who, not expecting us to enter unannounced had arisen in her night clothes, and stood before the mirror arranging her hair, or rather fitting on her braid, so as to make a proper appearance when we should arrive. Upon hearing the door creak on its hinges she first gave a nervous start, then a fearful scream, and quick as thought she leaped into bed, blushed for a moment and then sunk into one of her dreadful paroxysms.

It contained the sad announcement that her fair little daughter Alice was no more, and that her brother-in-law, Lieutenant Edwards, was then wounded and a prisoner at Clark's Ferry. She begged that he would do all in his power to have the prisoner released on parole, that he might be brought home to be cared for by her. He brought the matter at once to the attention of the War Department, but could never obtain a trace of the wounded prisoner. The letter had been so long on the way that Lieutenant Edwards had either been exchanged or perished in the meantime. Mail communications were now so completely cut off that he never heard from her again. CV buslnesa pertainiag to till office promptly atloaded to—Collection* made, Ac. May SO, 1869-ly.

I have lost a husband and a son in this war, and I know what it is to suffer such a bereavement. Perhaps he has a mother and a wife. Besides, in kindly caring for him I am paying a debt of gratitude. My poor husband was taken up by a union family at Hagerstown, afthe battle of Antietam, and cared for as skillfully and kindly as I could have done myself. And when I went to him we were so kindly treated that I shall never forget the obligation.

Not a man of those officers but could give you a narrative of some disaster occurring under his own observation, during our great and recent struggle for the preservation of the nation's life, which disaster was produced by the neglect, rashnesS, or incompetence of drunken officers. Many a noble fellow went down quick to a bloody death in that disaster born of brandy. Nevertheless, "Fill your glasses, gentlemen!"

They were now to enter upon the march which brought the army of the Fotamac into winter quarters at Falqiouth, from which they emerged to the terrible disaster at Fredricksburg. The morning 011 which the march began was foggy and chilling. Having been slightly indisposed for a few days previous, my soldier brother was scarcely able to begin the march. Hegrew worse as the heat of the day came on, and the weariness of the march increased.

This peak is circular at the base, and gradually decreases in circumference until it reaches a point far above the sound' of the bustle and commotion of the busy world beneath. This point forms the apex of a vast cone, the top of which has been chosen by some eccentric person as the fittest place on which to build a house. His house stands there in solitary splendor. The only means of approach is a spiral passage winding around the side of the mountain, gradually ascending until it reaches the top ; this path is so steep that it is impossible for any beast to go up.

Occasionally there is one who realizes the necessity of a more liberal education, and his heart burns within him with a desire for knowledge. A case in point is that of a young Carolina slave, who went to Liberia after the war. The cruel law which made it a petial offence to teach "niggers," had been the cause of his growing up to manhood with no knowledge whatever except what he gained by experience and observation. He went to the Mission, and there learned not to read, but to know the letters of the alphabet. This work progressed so slowly that he was almost discouraged ; he resolved to return to America, get a thorough education and then lie would be able to work some progress in raising his race from heathenism in his native land. He is here now at an institution in central Pennsylvania, where, by his continued good conduct, he has won the respect if not the love of all his fellow students, although they are all white men and some of them as clamorous as any body for white man's rights, white man's supremacy, and a white man's government.

They could not resist the temptation to indulge in a good breakfast, even though it were attended with some danger; they therefore voted solid to accept the proffered hospitality. My brother, poor fellow, was growing, worse. His fever seemed to be fairly consuming him. Having no appetite he was not tempted by the prospect of dainty food, but he was too ill to go on alone, and he willingly acceded to their wishes. His comrades therefore assisted hiin to the house, Pompey leading the way. They were met at the door by Mrs. Lydia A.
