Beyond all Lesbian juice or Massic;
May not New England be divine?
My ode to ripening Summer, classic?
“Or, if to me you will not bark,
By Beaver Brook :1 thrush is ringing,
Till all the alder-covcrts dark
Seem sunshine-dappled with his singing-
"Come out beneath the uninaslercd sky,
W lift its cmancipalinglspaces,
And learn to sing as well as I,
Unspoiled by meditated graces.
“What boot your many volumed gains
Those withered leaves forever turning,
To win, at best, for all your pains,
A nature mummy-wrapped in learning ?
“The leaves wherein true friendship lies
On living trees the sun are drinking,
Those while clouds drowsing 1hr nigh the

Grew not so beautiful by thinking.

Escape the demon that pursues you !
And, hark, the cuckoo weather wise,
Still hiding; further onward woos you."

With a dessert of pilfered berries-

With mom and evouing voluntaries,—

Among my dusty books I linger,

And bubbling o'er with mingled fancies,

Hir magic music vaults above me,
No falser friend, no truer foes,—
And does not Donna Clara love me?

A rush of feet, and rapiers clashing,
Then silence deep with breathless stars,
And overhead :1 whilehand flashing.

Vengeful, forgiving, sensuous, saintly,
Where still between the Christian chimes
The Moorish cymbal liuklcs faintly !
"Bird of today thy songs are Slnle
To his, my singer of all weathers,
My Calderon, my nightingale,
My Aiab soul in Spanish feathers.
“Yes, friend, these singers dead so long,
And still, perhaps, in purgatory,
Give its best sweetness to. all song,
To Nature’s self her better glory."

Female Spies.
During the Spring and Summer Of 1863,
the city of Louisville was lined with spies,
male and female, who were operating in the
interest of the United States Government.
These agents did not confine their labors to
Kentucky, but also operated in Southern In-
diana, visiting the towns and hamlets, wher-
ever any clue could be obtained to parties
dealing in articles contraband of‘ war. The
female spies were generally disguised in male
attire, and so completely was the deception,
that they visited theLouisville IIotel, Gait
House, theatre, and other public places, with-
out attracting any particular attention or ex-
citing the slightest suspicion of their sex.—
They appeared like young men of eighteen or
or twenty years of agc,with fancy canes, and
smoking cigars, like young bloods of the first
water. Willi the exception of, perhaps,
three or four civilians, their range of acquain-
tances was confined to the ofiicers then on
duty at this post. It was their custom to
report at the Provost Marshal’s Office in fe-
male attire every day, and as there were wu-
men constantly at the office on business, the
presence of these spies never gave rise loany
suspicion.
These females frequently made incursions
through the lines, and penetrated the depths
of the Confederacy, gaining important in-
formation regarding tlic movements of the
enemy, etc. Of these, the most daring was
a handsome young actress, who had been a
great favorite at W ood‘s Theatre, in this city.
She has since published a history 1' her op-
erations in the Confederacy. But the most
interesting part of it. has never been written.
It was the manner in which she wasengaged
as a spy, and the cunning plan by which she
was delivered through the lines to the Con-
federates as an “enemy" to the Union. If we
mistake not, she was playing a part in the
“Seven Sisters," when it occurred to the
Provost Marshal that she would be just the
“trick" fora spy. It was accordingly pro-
posed to her, and she "accepted the situation
in good faith," agreeing to abide by and fol-
low out the instructions laid down. In one
of the scenes a banquet occurs, at which
each of the performers gave a toast, in which
they aimed to make a “1 of bit." It was
understood that this actre should advance
to the footlights an] drink “to the health of
J elf. Davis and the Southern Confederacy,”
when she was to be instantaneously arrested
by the Provost Marshal, who was on hand
with his guards for that purpose.
The programme was carried out to a letter.
and the result was a great sensation. The
authorities in their bewilderment, could
scarcely believe their calls, eyes or senses,
and as she was a favorite on the Louisville
boards, the sympathy for the supposed rush
young lady was deep and earnest, although
her friends were powerless to help her, or
save their pet from the impending doom.—
Ou the following day this incident (not set.
down in the programme) was the topic of
conversation, and m-iuy Were the expressions
of sympathy for this act of madness in the
veiy teeth of the blue coats and bristling
bayoucts. It wtll be remembeied that at the
time the theatres were under the supervision
of a prOVost guard, who weie ready to
"snatch" the first one who committed by not
or word, a breach of loyalty. The newspa-
pers recorded the airest of the fair actress,
and in due time it was announced that she
would be sent through the “111.5 for defying
the government.
When the day for her departure arrived,
she was conducted to the outposts with the
usual baggage allowed in such cases, in which
was stowed away copies of the papers con-
taining accounts of the affair. The guards
who conducted her to the lines ofDixie were
no doubt in total ignorance of the fact that
she was on her mission as a federal spy. The
ruse succeeded admirably. and she had hardly
penetrated the Confederate lines until the
much abused young lady was received with
open arms by a detachment of the enemy as
a martyr to their cause. llcr career in the
South with the armies of Generals Bragg,
Morgan, and others, and her triumphant re-
ception or one Riehniord boards as the per-
secuted actress of the North—together with
her subsequent detection, Conviction and sen-
lencc of ilcalh as a federal spy, are all titul—
ters of yellow covered history. She was res;
cued from prison at the fall of Mnificcsboro,
when the federnls took possession, and sent
her to Nashville, where she had a big recep-
tion and received some handsome presents
from those who appreciated liéi trials and
faithfulness lo thé Union cause—Louisville
Courier.
