“ To Give is to Live.”
Forever the sun is pouring his gold
On a hundred worlds that has and borrow :
His warmth he squanders on summits cold.
His wealth on the homes of want and sorrow.
To withhold his large" of precious light
Is to bury himself in eternal night.
To give
Is to live.
The fiower shines not for itself at all ;
Its joy is the joy it freely difi'uses:
0f beauty and balm it is prodigal,
And it lives in the life it freely loses.
No choice for the but glory or doom-
To exhale or smother,“ wither or bloom.
To deny
Is to die.
The sees lend silvery rein to lead,
The lend its sapphire streams to tho 0000!!
The heart sends blood to the brain of command.
The brain to the heart its lightning motion : . '
And ever and ever we yield our breath,
. Till the mirror is dry and images death.
To live
Is to give.
He is dead, whose hand is not opened wide
To help the need of o human brother;
He doubles the life of his life-long ride.
Who gives his fortunate place to another.
And a thousand million lives are his,
Who carries the world in his sympathies.
To deny
Is to' die.
Throw gold to the for dispersing wove, ’
And your ships sail home with tons of trooouro 5 '
Care not for comfort, all hardships brave,
And evening and age shall sup with pleasure:
Fling health to the sunshine. wind and rain.
And roses shall come to the check again.
To give
Is to live.
What is our life 3* Is it wealth and strength i
If we. for the Master’s sake will lose' it.
We shall find it a hundred-fold, at length.
While they shall forever lose who refuse it:
And nations that save their union and peace
At the cost of right. their was shall lacrosse.
They save
, A grave.

Democrats and Copper-hoods..-
A Western paper puts matters about
“ We understand by a Demo: one
who believes in the past teachings of . the
Democratic party; one who, however
strong his party feelings and party ‘ con-
victions may have been, is still 'for‘ his
country. One who, however he may be-
lieve the Administration may have erred
—bowever he may oppose some of its
acts, is nevertheless for suppressing the
rebellion and restoring the Union at all
and every hazard. One who is willing
to confine his Opposition to the acts and
policy of the Administration to such lim-
its as will not excuse treason or traitors,
and will not contribute to their aid and
comfort.
“ By a Copperhead we understand such
as excuse traitors and treason, such as
give them “aid and comfort” by word
and deed, such as denounce and oppose
the war for the Nation’s life, such as de-
clare for peace as Valiandigllam dove—
“even if the Union is not restored"-—in
short, such as direct all assaults upon the
Administration and the Government, and
make none upon the rebels and the rebel-
lion.
“ For the former we have all respect
-for the latter none. If we difier with
the former, we are willing to let the difi'er-
once pass as of no moment, at such a cri-
sis as the present. We will strike bands
with every and any man who agrees with
us in the determination that the life of the
Nation shall, be saved, and the rebellion
which threatens it shall be put down, no
matter how wide the difi‘erence may be
as to the correct policy to be paused in
accomplishing that work."

D- The operations of our armies du-
ring the past two weeks furnish a most
glorious record, and bring the rebels
down to a very- small compass for future
operations, as the following items for his-

over the homely old kitchen, where Dolly
and I had passed nine years of our lives.
Dolly and I were twins, and what one
thought the other thought, and what one
did the other did ; for in soul, as well as
in personal appearance, we were alike,
though in sex, we difi'ersd.
We were merrier that pleasant after.
noon, than usual, for of late our parents
had been so very sober and silent, that
our spirits had been heavy by them.
What caused their depression we could
not divine ; but we knew that they were
very sorry about something. We were
popping corn ; and just as a bouncing
white fellow had depped from the fire and
bit Dolly on the end of the nose. mak-
ing as both scream with new mirth, the
door opened and, our parents entered.
They smiled very faintly upon us. and
after hearing that we had been good and
happy children all the afternoon, they
bade us kiss them good night and go at
once to our beds. My mother had been
crying until her eyes were very bad, and
my father looked sadly discouraged.
“While you have a snug bed to sleep
in, my children, make the most of it and
be thankfull,” said my mother. ‘Wbat
is to become of you, and of all of no
new I dont know.’
After we llod tucked safely lubed, I
lay along time wondering what could of
happened ,- it was not until years afier
that night, that I discovered the cause of
my parent’s trouble, and our subsequent
distress. My parents were poor and un-
learned. ;, but were kind-hearted, and, in
most instances, sensible people. They
owned the small house in which they re.
sided, and a few acres of land which sur-
rounded it. They were also the poses-
sors of a good cow. a pig, seven shoe 9,
and a round dozen of bone. My mother
managed affairs at home, and my father
went coasting for ‘ssven dollars osmontb.
We had a flourishing garden, and, from
it obtained vegetables for tit: entire year.
We were very comfortable and very hap-
py. But there came an evil day. A
family wished to move from the town a
few miles below us, to a location some
ten or twelve miles further down the riv-
er ; and my father was employed to move
them. It was a good day’s job, to boot
the family and all their household stuff
from one town to the other. When
his work was done, my fatherlroturned
to his home, with his wages, six dollars,
in his pocket. -f;
The incredible sum of cheddar: for
one day’s work i 1'
After that it was no use to talk to my
father about seven dollars a month. He
had suddenly gained a position from
which he could look down in contempt
upon such a pittance. A best he would
have, at some rate, and he would trans-
port passengers, and produce, and furni-
ture, and all manner of merchandise from
town to town. He would be a poor man
no longer. So my father raked and scraped
together everything that he could get,
and sold off our stock. and got his boat;
but never did he obtain another ' six-dol-
lsr-a-day job. From the verv hour of
entering upon his new business, his of.
fairs began to go wrong, to york crook.
edly, to tangle up, just as my mother
feared. And now, on the evening men-
tioned show, he had to look . in the face
the unwelcome fact that his- house, the
shelter of his wife and children. was his
no longer. It had been sold :on a mart:
gage foreclosure.
We had to leave our home—the only
home of real enjoyment that Dolly ever
knew; and we went into two rooms in an
old rookery in town. Father returned to
seven dollars a month and coasting.
Hard times bed truly come—our parents
could not bear up under them. Mother
took to her bed, and . father took to the
bottle, and misery and woe took us all.
buried her; and father, not long after.
wards, in a fit of delirium, rushed from.
the house and plunged into the river, and
was drowned.
Dolly and I were taken to the poor
house and there we remained for nearly
two years, at the end of which time, my _
sweet and lovely sister died, and I was
bound out to a trade. Many hard and
desolate years were mine after this ; but
they are all over. I am now a prosper-
ons and comparatively a happy man ;but
never shall I be able to reflect without
pain and anguish of soul, on the period
of disaster and sefi'ering which followed
the fatal time when my father was tempt.
ed to forsake the path of humble but
sure support, and to make haste to be
rich, by having once earned “six dollars-a.

The Officer’s Drill.
The recent Oficers’ Drill at Hartford,
demonstrates several facts too important
to be passed over in silence. Among
these facts, we may mention ;
lat—Tbs proisewortby willingness of
the ofieers in our State Militia, to as-
semble at Hartford from all ports of Con-
useticnt—receiving as compensation a
sum insnfilcient to defray their necessary
expenses and to spend the time prescrib-
ed by law, in perfecting themselves. in
drill and discipline. It is very easy for
those who remain at home, devoting
themselves to their Ordinary dutiea'end
purchasing exemption from military or;
vice by the payment of one dollar, to
make light-of the labors of men who con-
ceive that are under some obligation to
maintain an efficient military organiza-
not a man led his business and spent
four days in camp at Hartford, wich
out considerable pecuniary sacrifice and
much personal inconvenience and or-
better afiordedtto pay theirfine of 85 a
day for nonoattendance, ‘than'to be pr'e’h
entincamp. . . . . , . _
fid—The uniform good conduct, and
prompt, willing service of the 'oficers,
gave conclusive evidence that notwith-
standing we have sent good men to the
war, we still have at home the nucleus of
an excellent and most useful military
organization. ’ " 1 "
Sci—Another fact which became pa;
fectly apparent, was by no means so
the glaring inadequacy of our existing
Militia law to accomplish any good pur-
Test the meanness of its pecuniary
provision by a single circumstance: The
law obliges oflcers to assemble at the Ar-
senal in Hartford, at 8 A. M. of Tuesday
morning. Now. as no train brings pass-
angers into Hartford as early as that
hour, all oficers not residing at Hartford,
srs obliged to spend Monday night in
the city, while their pay doesnot com:
mence until Tuesday. nThcn again, the
compensation is $2 per day. Out of this
sum, the oficers were obliged to spend
$1.15 for their meals alone, leaving the
see. - When it is remembered that all 0&6
cars are "required by law to attend the
drill in full uniform, and that each uni-
form, with sword and necessary equip-
ments, has cost from fifty to sixty dol-
lars, the generosity of theState may be
easily appreciated.
Indeed, the chief wonder is, that so
many able bodied, intelligent and sensi-
ble men can be found in Connecticut,
willing to devote their time and money
:to this cause, when all recent legislative
action the subject. proves—if it prove
anything—that the State does not wish.
any troops for home defence, and is de-
termined to discourage all ’efi'orts to keep
alive a military spirit. , .
, Any manwho should say that we do
notueed any militia force in Conn. would
be pronounced a fool by every person of
common sense. That tearful fortnight in
July. when all property holders in our
principal cities passed anxious days and
sleepless nights, in dread of the violence
clavicions mob, is too fresh in our recolf
lection, to justify any slicers at an'effig
cient soldiery for armed defence._. And,
yet. what inducements are offered to our
volunteer militia 1 The privllege of par-
chasing uniforms at a large expense, .of
making certain I'éqnil’edl nineties for. a
compensation ridiculously inadequate, of
spending dayssnd evenings in- drill and
discipline, without any "remuneration-4'-
whatever, and 0f being laughedat'r'as
"home guards,” by men who are exemp-
ted from all this expense and labor by
the payment of one dollar a year f .

monstrous? _ How long will Conucon-
.tinue blind to its own best interest, and
unjusMothe men who, in spite of all ,
these hindrances and. disadvantages, are,
laboring to rescue the state from the dis-
grace of being unarmed and defenseless ?
“ll—Assuming that an eficient mili-
tary organization is needed in this State,
it would seem self-evident that all the
necessary expenses of those who perform
military duty, should be paid by those
who are exempted from this duty. The
labor required to be proficient in the du-
ties of the soldier, is very great, and the,
needed perfection can only be gained by?
long'eontinued and persevering practice.-
Themechonic, or clerk, who, after a day
spent“ the bench, or behind the coun-
tor, devotes two hours in the evening to
a fatiguingdrill in his armory, makes a
larger coptribntiou to the welfare of his
Itateand community, than many a man
would makebyon annual payment of 20
or 80 dollars'.~.to. the State Treasury.
But when, in addition to this generous
gift of his time, the mechanic, or clerk,
is obliged to lay out from 20 to 50 doi-
lars a year, is armory rent, uniform, and
other necessary expenses, the injustice of
the provisions of the existing law he-
comcs manifest to any one who will give
the subject a moment’s consideration.
Oar militia are beginning to feel this
injmticggery keenly, and during theOfi'

creditable to our State, and that was. ’
sum of25 cts. for any additional expen»
minatiou expressed to make a strong ap-
peal to the fairness, the patriotism, and
the justice of the State. '
The remedy which is proposed, we have
already indicated. Let the inactive militia
pay such a sum for exemption, or to re-
lieve the active militia from all burdens, but
those belonging to actual military duty.
Even if this is done, the acting militia
will more. than perform their share of the
labor and sacrifice, but they will do it
gladly, and Conn will have a military
organization of which it mby be proud—-
amply snfiicient to protect her from on
invading force, and to check mob vio-
lence 'at home. , ‘
shall soon find ourselves without any sys-
tem or organization for any military pur-
pose, and shall deserve to bedi'sgraced

Blusnsaa Cm, LL, Aug. 24, ’63.
Mrssss Barrens—Methinks Iwill
write again to you. It is now but ‘a
month since we recaptured this place.f
and what is more, the place was taken
by two Connecticut regiments, the 12th.
and 13th, without firing a musket. On
the filat of last month this regiment
with the 13th left Donaldsonville, to
where we of course knew not, on board
the steamship Crescent and quietly
steamed down the river (after turning a
bend in the river but a short distance we
left Donaldsonville' and the Division an:
der Weitzel, who has had on command
of one since the attack on' Port Hud-
son,) towards New Orleans, where we
[lay in front of the city for two days
crowded almost to sufi'ooation, as the.
vessel'was small. It seemed very sur-
prising to us that the ofiicials would not
allow the soldiers standing room, let alone.
lying down of nights to sleep. What we
staid there at the city for so long it would
be hard to tell, but the two days were
on undera tropical sun without an aw-
ning to shade us. The time came and
glad were we as we then could get a
breeze, we quietly steamed down the riv-l
er, watching the beautiful scenery as we
passed plantations upon either bank of
the river, we did not see any stone sugar
houses as one of the Danbnry correspond-
ents did!!!” he came up the river last
Minter when ' 'lic‘cume "hero for '9_ months.
But, we saw'a few brick sugar house;
painted white. ‘_ .
We came insight of those Forts which
put usin mind of a little more than. a
year ago when we lay through that heavy
bombardment of 8 days where we could
bear the report of those war dogs as they
barked when let lose by Farragut and
Porter, who have distinguished them‘
selves since then above and below Vicksc
burg,
We-crossed the bar at about 10:30 .P.
'M., and rode out upon the Gulf towards
Atchafalaya' Bay, the next morning. we
came in sight of Ship Islénd shoals light,
and changed'onr course due north for an
hour, when we came to anchor, where we
lay until high water, which was about
daylight the next morning, when we up
.anchor and crossed what is called a bar
of some 10 miles, where the deepest wa-
ter was but eleven feet, when we entered
the Atchafaleya river. _ Then, all eyes
~ were watchful, eager to get a glimpse 0‘
some Grey-back, who might be lurking
about to give the alarm that we were
coming, but none did we see. We arrived
at Brashear City about 9:30 A. M., and
went'ashore, then marched to our old
camp where we are at the present time.
and have not seen anything but deserters
since our arrival, although threats were
made of their driving us away.
. ‘When the rebels tookfiithis place, but a
little more than a month before we came
here, there was a few 9 months men‘ who
almost threw down. their arms saying ’
their time was out “and we want to go
home,” wall let them go we can get along-
,without them. We cannot say how lOng
we are to stay inactive, but we want rest,
as our regiment shows when on 'dless
parade only one hundred and thirty-five
men oficers and all. The boys have had
quite a spirited time drawing for fur-
loughs as four men are allowed to go out
of each company ; as two Nor-walk boys:
have had the good luck to get a prize,
they will probably be upon the road ere
this reaches you. We also had (that is
this company) quite a lively run at Pater-
sonville, some 12 miles from here up the
Tesche, from the gunboat Clifton as she
lay at the dock, towards a house to sort
sound it to catch somebody, but that
somebody had gone. We stayed in the
village something like threeqnarters of an
hour, and about four hundmd rebels
within four miles of us. .
When a flag of truce was there a few
days before, they dared us to come and
take a certain person who wished to come
with us. so we just went arid took that
person, put her aboard of the boat be-
sides all the furniture that belonged to
her, and then we as quietly left the place
with only two small companies, ours and
are .5 little under the weather.
