“Ho! ship ahoyl” its cry;

Yet on the heaving swells
Tossed up and down the ship-lights,
The lights of the Three Bells!

Man answered back to man,
While oft to cheer and hearteu
The Three Bells nearer run;
And the captain from her tam-ail .

Two little dimpled hands
Folded to rest,
Lying so peacefully
0n baby's breast.
Eyes of celestial blue,
Closed nowto earthly view,
Opened on heaven's light, 1
Gazing. with rapture bright,
Into that land.
Silgnt and cold that form
Dreamlessly sleeps,
While near; a watcher 'loiic.
- Her vigil keeps.
Weep not. he cannot cheer thee:
lloui-n not, he does not hear than,
' Yet in that solutions . ‘
Waiteth, with outstretched hand,
Your baby sweet.
Waiteth to draw up higher
Those loved on earth;
Wclfeth to welcome her
Who gave him birth.
Let this our grief assuage
Like an unwritten page:
His soul, so pure and white,
Bestcth, with calm delight,
In Jesus' arms.
Only a glimpse of life;
No time to know . ~
Naught of its strifes and care,
Neught of ltb woe. '

From some future cvil day. .
How can we incurs for thee,
End of immortality.

. Luv-run mon Scnumn HAMILTON no
;GEN.BUTI.ER.—-It having been announced
,lhat Major General Hamilton, of W'estcbes-
1.,ter,.county,-New York, had “declared" for.
-Greeley, General Butler, whose staff Gene-
ral Hamilton was on during the rebellion,
MOWIQ uire ifjt were true. In
’r'é'iponse, en'eral" liamillo'fi’fid‘iif’ida‘pifm .:
letter, repudihting‘Mr. Greeley, and. coplain-
’ing some interesting general statements.
Here is one Of the salient points of General
Hamilton’s epistle: . . A
When true men a‘nswered President Lin-
coln’s call in 1861, Mr. Greeley was fielding
up the arms of the rebels fbrOugh the
columns of the Mum. Afterwards, when
' he found he was not responding to the deep
pulsation 0f the nation’s heart. which pene-
trated the editorial sanctum through a very
small chink—ihe Chink of half dimes, as the
sale of the Tribune fell off—he secured to us
our first defeat at Bull Run, by precipitating
a battle by his ill-timed cry of “On to
Richmond,” whfiiwc were in all respects
' unprepared, at least in the opinion of Gene-
ral Scott. Our unprepared condition Gene'-
ral Scott urged upon the President and his
'Cabinent officially at a meeting called to
consider'this very subject, and used many
other means to impress his views upon
those in aulhority :at that time, notably
General MCDowell. As General - Scott’s
military‘secretary,'I had opportunities Of
knowing much. At the Cabinet meeting
as I, was told, in opposition to General
sooll’s views, that he could march to Rich-

Aflcr some interchange of greetings, Gene-

a battle to be fought against his long-tried
judgment and experience. If there was any
coward I was the coward.” There {was
profound silence. The President was deep-

took the blame upon himself for not yield-
