Company K.
BY ETHEL LYNN.
There‘s a cap in the closet,
Old, tattered, and blue,
That would be of little value
It may be to you ;
But a crown-j cwel studded
Could not buy it to-day,
With its letters of honor,
Brave “ Company K.”-
The head that it sheltered
Needs shelter no more,
. Dead heroes make holy
The trifies they wore ;
So a wreath better winning
Than laurel and bay,
Seems the cap of the soldier,
Marked “ 00. K.”
For eyes have looked steady
Its visor beneath,
O’er the work of the Reaper
Whose harvest is Death.
Let the muster-roll meagre
So mournfully say,
How, foremost in danger,
Went “ Co. K.”
Whose footstep unbroken
Came up to the town,
Where rampart and bastion
Looked fcarfully down ;
Who, closing up breaches,
Yet kept on their way,
Till guns downward pointing
Faced “'Co. K.”
Like cameras fearful
Stood cannon aloof
’l‘r‘ll the signal was given
To strike off a proof
0f the soul of the soldier,
To send up to Him, .
(Pray God that He knew them
Though bloody and dim.)
Who [altered and shivered,
Who shunned battle-smoke,
Whose fire was uncertain,
Whose battle-line broke ?
Go ask it of History,
Years from today,
And the record shall tell you,
Not “ Co. K.” '
Tho’ my darling is sleeping
Today with the dead,
And daises and clover
Bloom over his head,
I smile, tho’ I’m crying
As I lay it away, '
That battle worn cap ,
Lettered “ 00. K.”

Under the Daisies.
Dr ua'r'rrr: True.
I have just been learning the lesson of life, '
The sad, and lesson of loving ;
And all of its powers for pleasure or pain
Been slowly, sadly proving. '
And all that is left or the bright, bright dream,
With its thousand brilliant phases, '
Is a handful of dust in a cofiln hid—
A coffin under the daisies.
The beautiful, beautiful daisies,
The snowy, snowy daisies.
And thus forever throughout the werld
Is love a sorrow proving :
There are many sad, and things in life,
' But the saddest thing is loving.
Life often divides far wider than death,
Circumstance the high wall rises :
But better for than two hearts estranged
Is a low grave starred with daisies.
The beautiful, beautifirl daisies,
The showy, snowy daisies,
And so I am glad that we lived as we did
Thrgugh the summer of love together,
And that one of us tired lay down to rest
Ere the coming of winter weather ;
For the sadness of love is love growing cold,
And ‘tis one of its surest phases,
So I bless God with a breaking heart
For that grave custarred with daisies.
The beautiful, beautiful daisies.
The snowy, snowy daisies.

“ Life’s cup, at first, was sweet and {air ;
On our young lips, with laughtet. gay,
Its cream of brimming nectar lay,-
But vapid then it grew, and stale,
And tiresome as a twicetold talc;
'And here in weary age and pain,
Its bitter dregs alone remain."
The other, with center; ted eye,
Laid down her work and made reply :
"Yes, life was bright at morning tide,
Yet, when the foam ,and sparkle died,
More rich, methought, and’purer, too,
Its well concocted essence grew.
Even now, though low its spilt drains,
A ll tie in the cup' remains,
There’s sugar in the bottom still,— .
And we may taste it if we will."

NORWALK: CONN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15. 1863..
[From the Sunday Morning Chronicle.]
Occasional Ina Sleeping Car.
Have you ever taken a sleeping car
for a long ride, on any of our Western
and Eastern railroads ? It is a. very
curious experience. To the 'old travel-
er such a journey is full of incidents. Ac-
customed to the trip between Philadel-
phia and Washington, I never make it
without gathering material for amuse-
ment and reflection. The best course is
to secure a. full lower brrlh, about thirty
minutes before the rush begins, and from
your roost you can, unobserved, hear
much and see many odd sights. The
conductor is a constantly perplexed per-
sonage. He is questioned, scolded, and
importuned by turns. He must explain,
apologize, and expostulate. In this melee
it is marvelous how he preserves his tem-
per. “Mr. Conductor,” says a breathless
passenger who has just got in by the
New York line, “ give me a. sleeping
place ?” “Have you a ticket, sir ?” "Yes,
I have my through ticket.” “ Sorry,
sir, but you must have a sleeping ticket.
You can get it at the office in the sta-
tion house ; but must hurry up or you
will lose your chance.” And away goes
the passenger with about ten chances to
one of being too late. “ I. have taken
places for two,” says a soft-spoken, hand-
some young fellow, with a blushing wo-
man on his arm. “ Yes, sir,” says the
polite master of ceremonies, ‘ the lady
can sleep below, and you in the upper
berth.’ ‘ But she is my wife—and can-
not sleep alone or with anybody but me.’
“ Sorry, sir, but our rules are absolute—
I.can put another lady with her.” “But
she is my wife, I tell you,’ indignantly re-
sponds the gentleman. ‘ I do not doubt
you, sir, but I do not know it, and to
avoid trouble, we make an absolute rule
to keep the ladies and gentlemen sepa-
rate.’ And there is no remedy but to
submit or throw up their tickets, and
take another car. Frequently a family
enters—mother, father, nurse, baby.—
The same struggle ensues on the tempo-
rary divorce of husband and wife; but
the dispute is more readily reconciled,
After a while,
the matron gently asks, “ Are you com-
fortnble, Augustus, dear ?’ ‘Perfectlyp
is the smothered reply from an nppertier.
“ Do cover up your throat, dearest; you
know you are not well—are your feet“
warm?’ ‘ All right," gasps the has
band, like a man on the top of‘a bay-
lol't. ‘ Jane, what is the matter with
baby ? Cont you keep him quiet i’ Bless
you, he is choking. Hand him over to
me ; and I hear a equalling package
passed over to the kind mother, who soon
soothes it to rest. Enters a fat man,
weighing about 300 Avoirdupois. 'Con-
ductor, where is my berth ?’ ‘You have
but one ticket, and will please get in
along-side of this gentleman'——who hap-
pens to be a delicate dandy, immediately
above me, on the second shelf, and who
rains down upon me a perfect shower of
mingled perfume. The heavy passengers
gets up and in, after a struggle, in which
I participate to the extent of seeing a
huge pair of legs, like twin anacondas,
banging before me, and hearing a series
of angry growls and grunts ; and when
the mass settles on the slender wickerbed,
it shakes the whole vicinity, and leaves
me in doubt whether it can hang suspen-
ded, or will fall and crash me. ‘God
bless me, sir,’ says the exquisite, ‘but you
are 9. very large man—-— you. have pinned
me to the wall—I shall sufiocate.’ Can’t
help it, sir; I paid for my ticket, and in‘
tend to get my money’s worth.’ Imagine
the fat one’s sleep, and snore, and sweat,
and the miseries of the nice young gen-
tlemen. Some of the inexperienced trav
elors unboot and. uncoat themselves, which
is always a mistake. “Bundle in as you
are,’ is the’ theory of a sleeping car. At
last we are disposed of. The whistle
sounds ; the engine shrieks ; the bell
tolls ; ,and the great train plunges into
the outer darkness. A voice Opposite
‘Heavens, how hot it is. Conductor,
there is no air. Open the door.’ ‘1 ob- .
ject,’ shouts a. consumptive Congressman;
‘I am not well, and don’t mean to con-
troct another cold.’ Another voice ;
‘Charley, pass me the flask ;’ and then I
hear a gurgling sound, and presently per-
perceive an aroma of Cognac, which ex-
cites two persons of various opinions a
little in the advance. ‘Stranger,’ says
the first, ‘pass me your flask, and I will
return the compliment when we reach
Willards, ;’ which I can hear is being
very promptly done. ‘What a disgrace
it is,’ says the protesting temperance man,
‘that this place should be turned intoa
doggery.’——‘By Jove l’ cries out the own-.
or of the flask, ‘here is ~Gougb, the great,
lecturer—have a smile, my eloquent friend
at which there is a general laugh, and
the consequent subsidence of the heroic
opponent of Bacchus.
Before the sleepers finally adjust their
hard pillows, gather up their scanty cov-
ering, and ascertain whether their bedfel-
lows, if they have any, are friends or foes
some rich soliloquies and dialongee take
place among those who have not accus-
tomed themselves to this method of trans-
portation. “I say, conductor,” exclaime
a victim who is buried up in an enormous
military cloak, and bound and rivited to-
gether with brass buttons, bonds, . and
lace, “I say, this is worse than sleeping
on the cold ground.” “Neighbor,” gasps
ofiiice, “suppose we should run ofi- the
track, how could we get out ?" At this
moment I heard a dulcet tone in the sa-
cred and secret end of the car : “Con-
ductor, do draw the curtain, while I de-
scend from my berth to take the air.”
Our treasure, the baby, now begins to
make a loud appeal to its sleeping foun-
tain. “Good Heavens?” ejaculates evi-
dently a bachelor, “there is that child
again. Why don"t people keep their chil-
dren at home when they go traveling ?”
“So I would say,” responds a quiet wag
in a corner, with a rich voice, indicating
a men ready to marry, “but then I want
their mammas to travel, too ; you know
Crab-Stick, that we generally like -to
pecially'when one can’t get rid of them.”
At which another chorus of laughter.
What an odd sight, to go out of your
nest and pass along this cetacomb of men,
(for sleep is the counterfeit of death)
and to watch their faces as you pass.
Some look like dead men ; others strug-
gle with the heated atmosphere of the
place, and others are wide awake. At
last we arrive at the Susquehanna river.
We quietly pass upon the t0p of the
great boat that keeps up the line, and
then some nervous fellow cries out :
“Suppose we slide off, conductor, and get
into this infernal water ‘2” At which al-
most the whole company wakes up. The
idea of dropping ofi' into the deep excites
various emotions. The fat man too ses
from his applopetic labors, and his dainty
bed-fellow crawls out, resolved to stand
so greasy or contact no longer. The
ladies gaze upon the water, and others
are surprised that the superincumbent
weight does not sink the boat. We got
over, however, and rush on to Baltimore,
where we arrive in season. Here we re-
ceive the news of the last five hours,
shouted from a mob of boys. “What a
newspaper country this is,” says an En-
glishman, who parts his curtain and buys
a Sun ,- “they go to sleep on one battle,
and wake upon a nether.” “Damn it,”
says the soldier, “there has been a fight,
and I have lost my chance.” “Why the
devil don’t they move faster?” says a
hungry voice in a lower cell. “This re-
bellion must be crushed at all hazards,”
responds a visa-cis. “But why the h-——ll
don’t you give McClellan a chance ?
shouts a deep voice-in a curtained cave
beyond. “He has a hundred chances,”
insists one of the freshly roused slumber-
ers, “and I hope his next will be a victo-
ry.” Now we move on to Washington.
Heaven knows where we should be if this
din of politics was kept up. [Don’t mis-
understand me, gentle» reader I do sleep
in a sleeping-car, and what I reveal now
is only a resume of what I have seen .]
At last we reach Washington. I get out
among the first, for I have no beets to
pull on—no coat to seek—no purse to
rescue that was lost in sleepamonomod-
inc hat [for most hats are alike] to recov~
or from amOb of fighters. The fast men
emerge violently ; the fat man, steamy
half alive‘ollowed by the exquisite scowl-
ing ; the politician looking for the back
that can carry him to the White House;
and the ladies, last not least ; baby con-
quered and asleep ,- Augustus indignant
apd silent as if he did not know his wife,
and the latter, dear Mary, resolved to
hang on to him whether he rned it or no.
I go home contented and wide awake.

Capture of Jeff Thomson.
The capture of Jeff Thompson, of Mis-
sonri, was a great surprise to him. He
was at Pocahontas Ark. with Capt. Kay.
his assistant Adiutant Gen. when Capt
Geary of the Union army, came up and
caught them both. They had time to
destroy a number of letters and maps.
The reporter of the St. Louis Republican
has visited Thompson in prison and gives
his own account of his seizure :
Not long after the capture—Jeff. hav-
ing destroyed his letters and Capt. Kay
his maps, with the exception of a few,
which proved of considerable importance,
and which are now in possession of the
military here—an amusing incident occur
red.—Lieut. Miller, ordnance officer of
Gen. Crendall’s command, hearing that
Jeff. Thompson was in Pocahontas, wvnt
up to see him. Unaware of the presence
of federal troops, he rode quite uncon-
sciously into town, by more chance pass-
ing the pickets in the dark, and proceed-
ed quite leisurely to the hotel where
Gen. Jefi‘. was stopping. At the door
he was stopped by the guard, who told
him he could not get in unless he was an
officer. “I am an officer,” replied Miller,
“and must go in.” He pabsed in and so-
luted Jedi, remarking, “Ah, you’ve got
some Feds, I see,” observing a number of
gentlemen in the room with blue uniforms
and thinking they were Jefi'.’s prisoners.
“Yes I have,” replied J efi‘., “and e. d d
big lot of them, too." Just then Capt.
Gentry walked up to Miller and said,
“You are my prisoner.” “Ain’t you jok-
ing i” asked Miller, still believing Thomp-
son was in command. . “Ain’t be joking,
General i” appealing to Jeff. “Yes,” re-
plied the latter, “but it’s a confounded se-
rious joke.” Then the truth flashed on
the benighted and confused mind of Mil-
ler that he was in a town surrounded by
federal cavalry, and that, instead of
Thompson holding those “bluecoats” in
the room as his prisoners, he was theirs.
The Lieutenant resigned his sword with-
e politician, evidently on his way for on
cut further perley.
