Delightful New Books. UTHEgiLANDS—by the author of “But- ledge. At JELLECK’S. God. ’ ”—Exlraclfrom CM I sat beside my cottage door, ' At uooutida’s dreamy hour'; And watched the fields of waving grain, Which felt the west wind’s power. A musing spirit o‘er me passed l I roamed 'mld fancy’s bowers ; I thought myself once more a child, In chlldhood‘s happy hours. 1 saw again my early home, As ’twss in days of yore; The wind just stirred the jsssmine. Which clambered o'er the door. The brook if“ murmured through the glsde, With music quite as IWeet As when in thoughtless Childhood‘s sport, 4 I loved my careless feet. . . Each tree and flower were still the same ; The pond, where lillies grew Was gemmcd with flowers of wavy white, And leaves of dark green hue. ' The well, with sweep. so old and gray, And bucket brimming high, Displayed its wealth of sparkling drops, To every passer by. . ‘ I saw the elms, beyond the brook, And meadows, clothed with green, _ Where oft at eve like tiny stars The ilrellies’ lights were seen. In dreams, I oft behold it now; Though far away I roam There's not a spot on earth so dear, As is my early home. Though every pleasure crowns my path, My heart at times will yearn— For youth, so fraught with happiness, But youth will ne’er return. - Westerly, B. I. MIRA B. Annex. M“.-. From the Home Journal. - The drummer boy of Tennessee The following is a prose story of real life, exquis- itely put into rhyme by the fa .‘rrespOndent of the Home Journal. ' ‘ ' When called the fife and drum‘of morn The soldier from his rest, And those to higher honors born With softer couches blest, There .came, a captain brave to seek, Deep in her mourning clad, - By loss made sad, and journeying weak, A mother and a lad- And they had come from Tennessee, Waiting she beat of reveille. But, pennilcss and widowed, ,, ‘Her story soon she told: The hand of traitor had not spared Her husband’s life nor gold; And now she brought her only son, To fill the drummer's place; Thus young his daily bread to earn, His country’s foes to face: For he had learned, in Teuueessee, To best the call of reveille. The boy upturned his eager gaze, And, with a beating heart, And read upon the captain’s face, Both kindliuess and doubt; For he had marked his tender years, His little fragile form— " Don’t be afraid,” he boldly cried, “For. captain, I can drum! And I have come from Tennessee, To sound for you the reveille.” , " Well, call the titer l—briug the drum, » To test this noble youth I" And well his part he did perform, A “ Drummer Boy" in truth i ‘.‘ Yes, madam, I will take your boy,” The captain kindly said. “ 0h, bring him back," her quick reply, “ Unnnmbered with the dead l And Ennis Lnn,.of Tennessee, Shall play for you the reveille.“ ’Twss may a weary march was made, To sound of drum and e And well the " Drummer y" assayed .To play the “ march of life ;" Each soldier loved and sought to share Their part of good with him; The fifer on his back did hear, Across each swollen stream, This ‘ Drummer Buy" from Tennessee, Who beat with him the reveille. But, came the battle-shock, and dodm -0f one great “ Lron" heart, ~ ' The Victor’s shout-the victim‘s groan, Fulfilled their fearful partl . ‘ And, on that blood-stained field of was .The darkness threw its palll . The morning dawned: on fiylngToe; When, list lathe “ morning call!" Our " Drummer Boy” from Tennessee, Beating for help the recalls .’ Upon the valley sod he lay. Beside a lifeless foe, Whose dying hand had sought to stay The life blood‘s ebbing flow; The quivering drum yet echoing The heating of his heart—— The eucamping angel beckoning From drum and life to part! And Eddie Lee, of Tennessee, Awaits theflnal reveills .’ ‘ “ Feeling that his wo ton had Wished them to ' That he died for his count was mortal, Lieut. noo- y to his friends at home, but his trust was in ln’s report. , On South Carolina's island’s shore Lay one whose form shall never more Gladden our eye ; And while from out the ghastly wound His life’s blood flows on traitorous ground, From pallid lips come forth the sound or victory. For freedom ’gaiust op'pression's strife I freely yield this earthly life. ’Tis gladly given. And though I know this body must Be soon consigned unto the dust, 1 In God I can most fully trust To open Heaven. , 'Tis thus our country‘s martyr dies— ’Tis thus like our great sacrifice He dies to save; . And while with many we must mourn ‘ We jpy that Death could thus be shorn 0f victory—the sting be torn ’ ' From thee oh Grave. Oh that upon each sin cursed strand Where patriot’s blood makes blush the land, Might be seen A noble band on whom should rest A mantle, which by God is blest A righteousness to stand the test or mammon's sheen. A love for man—a love for right That ne'er could give _or feel the blight 0f human thrall; But that our land from shore to shore Might Freedom’s be for ever more, And that each heart would God adore—— Who judgcth all. Georgetown. ———<o+o>———-, [3‘ Paulsen’s blindfold play at the Inter- national Chess Congress in London has as- tonished the natives. The film says he op- posed simultaneously ten different players of no mean capacity, “with results which, un- der the circumstances, appear to a casual by- stander as little short of the miraculous.— AlthOugb called blindfold play, 'it was so. in spirit rather than in letter. This celebrated chess player who, at such odds, challenged so many to try their skill against him simul- taueously, sat in a corner with his face to the wall, looking very much like an overgrown school-boy who was undergoing a penalty.” «Ma-— 5‘ “I shall be home next Sunday night,”, a young ladg said, as she she followed her bean to the door, who seemed to be somewhat wavering In his attachments. “So shall I,” S. A. A. H. p Was his reply. The Journal of Commerce is disquieted beyond all measure at the prospect of ne- gro equality. No sentence can well be ,coustructed in which the‘term African or negro is introduced, which does not, to its fear, in some open or mysterious way, seem to signify equality. Are slaves of rebels to be emancipated? It is an at- tempt to, make uegroes equal to white men l Are our generals inclined to re- ceive self-emancipated slaves, and to get important information from them? An- other step toward negro equnlityl But fear has become te'rror, now that Con- gress has clothed the Government with authority to employ theAfrican population in all our armies, to perform the labors of the camp the drudgery of iut'rencbing, and to bear arms when their services are indispensable. Its leader of Monday has as many reasons against this common- sense proccdure as there are catepilars on a neglected spring apple-tree. Now, for our part, [we have not the least fear that we shall be put down by a negro. At any rate, we intend to make such good use our of Opportunities, that, if a negro overtakes us in the race, it shall justify his precedence. But every man must 'be left to judge for himself. If The Journal of Commerce men, upon a careful estimate of their relative capabilities, are satisfied that they cannot hold their own in a fair race with the negro, we do not blame them for dreading a defeat; but is. it wise to let all the world know it? But, really, is there any real danger? We think not. The gentlemen of that journal have inherited a very poor stock in politics, undoubtedly. But otherwise they are estimable and skillful. They have many advantages over the African, which, by a judicious husbanding, will keep them credit'ably ahead. They are in the first place while, and in an honest ‘ way, too. Some negroes are white. But they come by their blood improperly.— They are obliged to say, with the chief captain, “with a great sum obtained I this whiteness;” while our friends with Paulican say, “But I was white born.” Then, too, they have had good educa- tion; they have an honorable profession —-—an unquestioned position in society.— They have many prejudices in their favor many customs, and some laws. Indeed, with anything like diligence in is use of means, we think the editors of The Journ- al of Commm will come out ahead of the negroes. But, should the dire fear be prophetic, who is at fault, and what can we do to help them! Both our disposi- tion and public profession oblige us to aid the weaker side in all great strifes for pre- eminence. » Hitherto, we have been con- siderate for the African. Achild‘f hea- thenlsm ;, under the yoke of bondage; uncouth in personal appearance; exclud- ed from civil law, and pent lip within a ‘slavfiode, which, by the fradk confession of its *judicisl expounders, seeks only the master's interest; shut out fgom all ordi- nary industrial pursuits, when set free, by a prejudice as impenetrable as a buckthorn hedge; the butt of ridicule; and shut down by haughty public sentiment to the condition of an inferior race;-—‘we have hitherto supposed that benevolence should have sympathy with the negro as the most helplefieglected, and abused of all ' the human ily But it seems we were mistaken. They are mighty men. They threaten to out- run white folks, or at least to rise up to an equality with them. Day after day there is a deadful hallucination, full of specters; not, of rats here! rats there! rats everywhere! not, as in some other instances, spiders and worms and hideous faces peering out here and glaring forth there! It is the ,negro that haunts the delirium tumour of patriotism in our neigh- bors case. They wake up of nights, shrieking Negroes, negroesl They are seized at midday, and alarm the neigh- borhood with outcries of Negroes, no- gross Wherever they go, they are lia- ' ble to these sa'd fits. It is probable that they see negroes in trees and stones and running brooks. The earth and air are full of negroes— all of this ubiquitous tribe seem rushing after the editors of The Journal of Com- mcm ! ' In the Apocalypse, among thesesr’s visions, was one of “a. pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and hell followed with him.” If the editors of The Journal of Commerce were to write a commentary, they would, no doubt, prove that this vision meant the uprising of the negro race, riding down white folks "and hell following.” But, asgwe have not set this race on foot, so we do not see how we can stop it. It is The Journulpf Commerce ran. um are determined to run a race with the African. We can only be spectators,and see fair play between them. 'A fair field then strip and at it, gentlemen all. Let the thing be settled. We shall take nei- their side; not with those who cry “Go it,Journa ,” nor with those who about “Go it, negro.” We stand calmly impartial: determined to put the wreath upon the head of the victor, whether ‘it falls on silk or wool. .<.>o —The First Connecticut Artillery is, by general order, authorised to inscribe “York- town,“ “Hanover Court House,” “Gaine’s Mill,” and “Malvern Hill” on their banners. —The Fifth Regiment have just sent home l about $7,000 to their families, by Mr. J.
