In the Wilderness. -'
May 7th 1864. . ;
BY GEORGE E. BOKER.
[The incident contained in the following
in is narratedby a co ndent of TI:
NEW Yoax Turnout, in a otter from the
battle-field, dated Wilderness May 7th 1864.
Mangled, uncured fer, suffering through the
night, ' ’
With heavenly patience the poor boy ' had
lain ;
Under the dreary shadows,leit and right,
Groaned out the wounded, stifl‘eued out
the slain. ,
What faith sustained his lone _
Brave heart to make no, moan,
To send no cry irOm that blood-sprinkled
. 5°69. '
Is a close mystery with him and God.
But when the light came, and the morning
1 Glittered around him‘like a golden lake, ,
And every dripping flower with deepened
hue . ' '
Looked through its tears for very pity’st
sake,
He moved his aching heed
Upon its rugged bed, ,
And smiled, as a blue violet, virgin meek,
Laid her pure kiss upon his withered cheek.
At once there circled in his waking heart
A thousand memories of distant home ;
Oh how those small blue eyes would start
Along his native fields and some would
roam 2 » I
To hide in secret nooks,
And shyly met, in nodding circles swing,
Like gossips murmurlng at belated Spring.
And then he thought of the beloved hands
That with his own bed plucked the mod-
' estflower; '
The blue-eyed maiden, crowned with golden
bands,
Who ruled as sovereign of that sunny
hour. ‘ '
She at whose soft command
_ He joined ‘the mastering baud,- ,
She for whose sake he laid so firm and still,
Despite hills pangs, nor questioned then her
wi .
So, lost in thought scarce conscious of the
deed,
Calling the violets here and there he crept
Slowly—ah ! slowly—for the wound would
bleed; ..
And the sweet flowers themselves half
smiled, half wept, .
To be thus gathered in \
By hands so pale and thin,
By fingers trembling as they neatly laid
Stem upon stem, and bound them in a braid.
The strangest poesy ever fashioned yet _ - "
. Was clasped against the bosom of the lad. -
As we the seekers for the wounded, set
His form upon our shoulders, bowed and
sad;
Though be but seemed to think
How violets nod and wink ;
And as we cheered him, for the path was
wild,
He only looked upon his flowers and smiled.

Why I hate Women.
I am a woman hater. I have been
one ever since I—but no matter what I
did. You shall know that presently.
Just imagine yourself an experienced man
of the world, twentyone and a half years,
with plenty of money, and—well I don’t
think the ladies consider me very bad
looking.
I date my woman-hating proclivities
from the time Miss Emma Talbot was
placed under my care, during a trip
down the Hudson.
She had been staying with her aunt at
West Point for several months.
Her brother Harry was in the Milita-
ry Academy, and was one of the gayest
audmost reckless fellows in the place. It
was through him that I became acquaint-
ed with his sister. ,
She was a lovely bloude, and knew
how to show her beauty to the best ad-
vantage.
Of course, Ifell in love with her di-
rectly, and was led to believe that she
did not dislike me, until she told me of
her intention to return to New York,
and that her three cousins were coming
up to take her back with them.
I never saw three such mischief loving
girls. The youngest especially distin-
guished herself, the day after her arrival,
by getting her time honored aunt on the
top of a rock, which could only be reach-
ed by a ladder. While her aunt was
enjoying the view. Kitty accideutly
knocked the ladder down, and walked off
as unconcernedly as if nothing was the
matter. It was not until an hour after,
while I was pouring a flood of eloquence
in her listening ear, that she started up,
interrupting one of my best metaphors,
and exclaimed—
‘I wonder if aunt Talbot has got home
yet?
And she started ofi‘ on a run to release
the poor woman from her captivity.
I had determined to make a formal
declaration of love on the home trip—not
to the imp of mischief, Kitty, but to Em-
ma Talbot; for thought I, ‘Miss Emma
is so desperately in love with me that I
must really marry the poor thing, or she
will go raving crazy. Such things have
happened.’
So, after innumerable boxes and trunks
were safely on board, my beloved Emma
promised to go on deck with me;
I will here mention that Harry Talbot
(who was escorting his three cousins)
and my peerless Emma were twins, and,
as a natural consequence, looked very
her hair in short curls,after the fashion of
the present day.
Before coming on deck she had some
alterations to make in her toilet, so I
Down his dear humming brooks, . l
where I could gain her promise to late
and obey mg,,,&.c.
To my"surprise' the deck was clear; so
I went built. and found her waiting for
me; but I was surprised to find her
wrspt up with a thick veil-over her face.
Kitty Twas standing near her with such
s lookiof roguery in her eyes that I knew
there was mischief somewhere, and I ofif
cred a mental1 prsy‘er for the unhappy
victim of her practical jokes. '3‘
_I_requested-Emma to take of- thst on.
becoming veil, but before she c'ould answer,
: Kitty said she had a» sudden attack of
neuralgia, and must keep it on for. fear of
gettiugmore cold, I made no more. ado,
but took-her to the deck. As we passed
through the saloon I imagined I heard;
the sound of smptliered laughter several
times but immediately rafterwards thought}
it must be the‘ei‘eaking of some of thtf
machinery Of theatesmer. , '
I led her to a seat, where we had a.
fine view of the river, and seated myself
. beside her in my most graceful attitude.
(I had pifs'ctised it before starting until
Iliad learned it perfectly.)
She seemed to know what was coming,
forshe was‘very quiet. 2 1
I had heard a great deal about th
dissgseeable task of popping the ques-
tion, sud;'with my usual forethought had
prepared my speech beforehand. ‘Now,’
thought I, ‘istbe time.’ SCI commeuCed.
‘Emmsv these waters remindme of life-
sometimes .itglides smoothly, and some-
timet it is‘disturbed by storms. Emmu—-’
And here I stopped, having forgotten
the next clause. I felt in my breast-
pocket fortniy speech. It wasn’t there
or in anyao'f-my other pockets.
- Now what wool to do. Suddenly I
rememberedThaving read in some novel
that deeds were better that words: so I
got up closetulier, put my arms around
her waist."'-7.She did not resist, but was
seized with-{au‘uucoutrollable fit of cough-
lug. _ » .
It stopped presently; and taking her
neatly glovedihaud in mine, I commenced
at the nexti'psrt of my speech that-LI“, re-
membered-$57 ' ' . . . '
‘Emmu',,"gdon’t you think that a person
is happier married than single? Suppose
for instanc's, I; wanted to get married? '
Here she gave a deep sob.
‘ “-s'ba til-rare,- poor childl’ said I to my-
self, that-Iam going to marry some one
else.’ ' ' "
However, I took it as a good sign and
drew nearer to her.
“Emma, dearest angel, you love me,
sad 1 am happy.
Here she‘gave another sob.
'Lovlies’t Cilovely women, you do not
deny it.- --I'swear, by the stars and moon,
and the sun that looks so lovingly on us,
that I love you, and you only. Will you
be my match-Fed am a poor lost dove
waiting for a- kindred spirit to cherish
until death! H
This is-part of the speech which came
into my mind just at the right moment.
At tbisiuteresting point she became,
:u-
ex,“ .. .3.
*2"! -.
kercbiefundér her veil, and subbed aloud.
When she stopped, I continued— ,
‘Emmo,=_my'~owu beautiful dove, you
promise to leve me alwaysl"
I heardatfalut 'Yes’ from under the
odious veil, yet it was distinct . enough
for me tohcsi'. Then I took her hand.
She did uo‘tresist.
‘Dear, devoted one, said I, in an irre-
sistibly sweet voice, ‘Will you not give
me one token. of your love? Will you
not grant the; one kiss from those lips
that vie witllnthe cherry in sweetness and
beauty?’ ,_ , ‘
‘Yes, love,’f,was all I could bear, but
that was enough. '
I tore aside that hateful veil (she had
kept it down. during the whole afiair) and
kissed Harry"‘_Talbot. There was no
mistake—or,'rather it was all a mistake;
for there hesat laughing as though he
would go into the hysterics.
I rushed towards the door, and there
1 met with spcli a reception as I never
was honored " 5with before. The whole
steamboat’s crew were there who had
kept from going outside while I was ma-
king that dgglaration of love to a man.
I tried toihu the blockade, but was
received with shouts of laughter on all
sides. .
Kitty audjEmma came up and ofi‘ered
their congratulations.
Harry afterwards told me that Kitty
had the next room to mine at the hotel;
and ss the partitions were thin, she heard
me telling my chum my love secret, and
heard him advise me to write the decla-
