REST.

nr mat a. DODGE.
0 recious Rest that follows pain,
nutterably sweet art thou!
Whosepresence soft, again, again,
Has sealed with peace my aching brow.

From some divinest realm above,

With noisless wing, thou drawtst near,
And out of vials ﬁlled with love

Dost pour a balm of tender cheer.

D .
We shrink away from dreary Pain ;
Yet she it is who ﬂiugs the gates
Apart for thee! In'vain, in vain, _
Without such help thy blessing waits.

Th sandalled foot of velvet tread,

by pliant gown of fleecy fall,
Thy breath of silence round my bed—
These, save for Pain, were forfeit all!

Alone by dark’ning shades we know
The glory of the vanished light;

The Morningglows with richer glow,
‘Just loosened from the clasp of Night.

0 Rest, thou angel born of Pain!
0 Night, that yieldeth day to bless!
0 Faith, with doubtings in thy train,
By ruptured sight made questionless !

Thank God, it is not ours to choose
And idly hold what seemeth best:

The pain, the doubt, the dark refuse,
And miss the hallowed touch of Rest!

The Second Battalion“ Late Drill.

FOURTH IN'r'ANTRv.—~On Friday evening,
March 19, the companies of Captains Gray.
Goodwin and Nerth,held abattaliondrill
t the armor of Company E, at Bridge-
port. Just u out the same time last year
e saw the same companies in same place
at their last drill of the season, and now
as then they looked and behaved perfectly.
We have never yet come across a quieter
and better behaved regiment than the
Fourth, nor more totally free from those
little tricks and boyish pranks off duty that
soil so many of our militia regiments.
'UIIIS winter the regiment has been laboring
nder great disadvantage, especially New
car‘s day, the horrible weather which has
visited the United States haying caused
them enouwh trouble to discourage any
cgiment. These coun'try regiments, With
heir small, inconvenient armories, are ex-
posed to diﬁiculties in the winter time that
are not experienced in cities. In the case ( f
one of the companies at Bridgeport, the dis-
ance traversed to reach the armory is sev-
eral miles, which, with the thermometer be-
low zero, takes the spirit out of most men.
The Fourth is largely composed of mechan-
ics, and the hard times of the present Win-
'ter have driven a great number away to
seek work elsewhere, all of ,which has de-
pleted the regiment greatly. When the at-
tendance is slack the drill is sure to fall off,
and this we found to be the case with the
Fourth. As compared with itself last car,
when it was remarkably ﬂourishing,it ook-
ed jaded and dispiri‘ted. As compared with
nine regiments out of ten we have seen, it
:was superior to any but the very best, but
not quite so good as last year. The reci-
ment wants stirring up to make it lively
once more. A fresh excitement is needed to
counteract‘thc money scarcity and the vile
weather. If the 'men a moving away,
new recruits must be taken in, and there
will be no trouble. Above all the country
regiments must remember that the summer
is their time, as the winter is the time for
the town troops. A very good instance of
what may be done in the summer is furnish-
ed by the Twenty-seventh New York, which
learned more and improved more during
last summer’s open air drills than in all the
rest of. the year before. Colonel Hoyt needs

gr:

In a former letter of this series 1 congrat-
ulated my readers upon their deliverance,
from the clutches of the express companies
—the most odious ”monopoly that curses the
country, except the telegraph. The action

of Congress in instituting the parcel system -

was what gave the people relief. Under
that law, a package of anything that could
safely go in a mailbag, weighing not more
than four pounds, was taken anywhere for a
' rate per ounce that made it possible to order
books, small articles of dry goods, and many
other things by mail at less than half the
rates of the grasping express companies.
The eﬁ‘ect u on the business of the coun-
try was inime iate and beneﬁcial. The peo-
ple ordered books, small parcels of dry
oods, etc., three times as frequently as be-
ore, and the system was found to werk ad-
mirably. a
Of course the express companies. did not
like it, for they werclosing the most proﬁt-
able part of their business. They knew ex-
actly how' to do'it, and they did it. They
had a lobby in Washington, and at the close
of the session a - bill was smuggled
through, that doubled the postage on mer~
chandise parcels, binding the people hand
and foot, and turning them over to the ten-
der mercies of their natural enemies. And
the post ofﬁce department can now ﬁnd no
authority whatever for mitigating any por-
tion of the injury, and so we‘ must make up
our minds to sweat till the next congress sits.
The merchants and publishers of. ‘New
York are suffering intolerably‘from this vil-
lainous law and the rulin that. sustain it,
for it knocks the arcels b siness out of the
city altogether. , ossibly the next Congress
will give us relief, and possibly not. In the
meantime, the people ought to make them-
selves heard in the matter. It is an outrage
that so great a boon should be taken from
us at the bidding of two or three bloated
corporations.

WHAT TO want.

There ls more taste and less extravagance
yearby year in the unfolding styles for we
men’s dress. This spring more than ever it
is possible for a lady tolook well with slight
expense. Fine, durable, wool goods for
early wear, in modest leasing shades, are
seen on the streets, an for warm weather
equally durable and ﬁnished linens will be
worn. Firm yet soft debeges are‘staple fab-
rics. either in plain brown and iron gray, or
in distinct shaded plaids of the same color,
brightened with a bar of white, Which
marks them fi'om . the characterless plaids
worn last fall. French suits of modest cost
are of plaids, the black and white shepherds’
check being the .freshest favorite, overskirt
and sleevesof ,stripedstuff or silk—a fancy
which will hardly b can popular here as the
contrast between. plaid and plain surfaces.
The improvementvin- cotton fabrics in the
last ﬁve years is admirable; the soft percu-
les and cambrics haviu .next to the beauty
of silk in ﬁnish and-a1 its delight in color.
By constant, careful research, manufacturers
are able to ﬁx delicate dyes on cotton, and
the mauve, primrose, apple-green, rose-pink,
and sky-blue of percales are as charming as
the same shades in costlier fabrics, to which
they have been conﬁned. These cotton
goods‘will be largely Worn outside of cities
where more pretentious dress is called for,
and the Oxford cheviots, in blue-gray with
a thread of pink or carnation in the stripe,
will be worn on the promenade as freely as
they are in Pussy and Neuilly, suburbs of
the centre of fashion, or at the watering-
places abroad. For a charming caprice,
now that lace is the favorite trimming for
everything. the ﬁne blue, violet,.and,_slate-
gray pereales are ﬁgured as if a dotted not
were laid over the‘surface, and the borderis
printed in Mechliu or thread-lime designs a
ﬁnger wide. To suit the fashion (if-English
embroidery, with which linens and grena-
dines were covered last year, other ‘percales

are ﬁgured to imitate the openwork- wheels,
daises and sprigs with border like rich em-
broidery. But taste must choose that where
borders are used at all they shall be on solid
color. 1
Linens of manilla color, like the paper of
that name, will be worn to an unlimited ex-
tent, for the new importations have soft, lus-
trous textures, as if mixed with silk, and are
beautifully varied with, woven lace stripes
in white or self-color, brightened with sky-
blue or brilliant crimson threads. Linen
grenadines and Algerian cloth, have the
eauty of silk, and promise to wear'as' well.
Damask, quilter’and plaid grenadines Will
supersede plain ones to some extent, though
the latter must always keep the good opi‘n-‘
ion of women of taste. .
But the bonnets, the hats rather, are so
light, so summery, so elegant, they'rejoicc
the eye. Pale chip, soft and crushy, or the
fashionable manilla, cream, or silver-gray
shades, takes the place of straw and silk,
with brims wide-enough to shade the sight,
gracefully loopedr'or'turned up with clusters
of ﬂowers, among which appear knots of -
soft twilledsatin‘ silk.’ The taste is to trim
with a few. fol s of bright violet, blue, or
carnation velvet, mixed with loops and
twists of this gros d'Orient, as the satiny
silk is called. Around the brim cluster
loose petaled white roses, with a -tinge of
pink, rich violetgarlands, and all the wealth
of J une blossoming Our spring is here

to order a few battalion drills in the open

Fouth will regain all its old vigor. A new
impetus is premised to the regiment in a
fcontemplated visit to Philadelphia next
year, but to do itself credit at the Centenni-
al the Fourth needs to attain the very high-
lest perfection‘of drill, and for this the more
battalion drills in the summer the better.

The little battalion mustered four compa-
nies Of eight ﬁles, one of them being made
of details of all the rest, and consequently
, working poorly. Lieutenant-Colonel Fair-
child was in command, Colonel Hoyt and
staﬁ‘ being present as invited guests. The
exercises were commenced with a review
which was spoiled by the very limited
space. When the companies had wheeled
their left ﬂanks were all so close to there-
viewing ofﬁcer that they were compelled
to face to the right and move off to get
room to pass. The armory used is. very
contracted in limits, and demands the great-
est care in handling the troops to avoid con-
fusion. The passage was effected by'a lit-
tle management with very good results,
marching andsalutes being unexceptionahle,
and the review was followed by an excel-
lent drill. All the movements from col-
umn and line, and the ployment and de-
ployment of close column from line and
column of route were executed in good
style. The guides were a little uncertain as
to whether the formations were successive
or simultaneous, but committed no error
that was not instantly checked. One or
two forgot to stand still wh' their compa-
nies were wheeling, but thi lso was soon

quently careless and remiss in coming out
on the line to begin a successive formation,
but our old friend Sergeant-Major King
rushed at all the delinquents with a vim
peculiarly his own, and pushed them into
the right places. Altogether the drill was
a good one,under.very great difﬁculties,
and did credit to the battalion, cramped as
it was in a space that prevented any forma.
tion being retained -for more than ten steps
without change to another.

one relaxation of the evening was indulged
in. The Fourth Connecticut .knows but
one enjoyment after duty is over, and that
it generally gets. First, Colonel Hoyt,then
Colonel Fairchild, then Chaplain I-Iowland,
made kind and encouraging speeches in the
line, after which the assembly dispersed as
quietly and decorously as an ordinary
church congregation.

Company B. afterwards held a very
pleasant entertaiumeutin its own armory,
a little distance off, consisting of a collation
to which all the ofﬁcers of the regiment
present and many of the members of other
companies, besides private citizens, were
invited, and the assemblage did not break
up till the small hours of the morning. Al-
together our little visit to the Fourth Con-
necticut was fraught with pleasure, as it
always is. It is not often that we ﬁnd an
opportunity to mention the regiment, but
when we do, its praises are well deserved
in every respect. There is a strong move-

Fourth to Philadelphia next year, at the
centennary. The movement is praiseworthy.
The only amendment that seems proper and
feasible is to extend the movement to the
whole Connecticut brigade.’ We know of
no State that would do the country and it
self more honor by the exhibition to‘ the
world ofits National Guard than Connecti-
cut., Its force is compact and perfectly
organized, the most complete brigade in the
United States. Were every State that is
able, to send a brigade to represent it,a
camp of National Guardsmen mi ht be
formed in the vicinity of Philadelphia that
would do no discredit to any country; and
our foreign visitors, who will be many and
critical, might go away with feelings of
respect for the citizen soldiers of the United
States, where they see them in the pdrfec-
tion to which they may be brought by that
time, with hard 'work. ‘

The Mother ofthe not-ole Cashing.
The late death of Commander Cushing
brings into relief a woman’s ﬁgure of heroic
mold. Three sons of hers, each one'a prod-
igy of valor, went forth to battle. They
were mere boys, and she a widow. The
grave has closed over the last and most con-
spicuous of the trio. after six several com-
mendatious from the Government Of his
country for meritorious acts, which placed
him beyond the reach of envy. We now
learn what manner of woman was his
mother. It accounts for the whole. We
look no further. Widows, in the privacy of
'their households, dedicating their boys to
the service of their country, do not use
words thoughtlessly. Words which mean
to them gray hairs and a solitary old age,
and hearts wrung beyond human help, are
weighed before they are uttered. “My sons,"
,said the mother of the Cushings, looking the‘
alternative plainly in the face, and rightly
.cstimating the issue; “My sons, death, but
no dishonor i” That tells us all—Boston

THE WORTH or LIFE—Life is no com-
mon-place matter;we may feel so, when
we are disappointed, when we are wearied
.with labor or are disgusted with meanness,
and then we may say with the Jewish
preacher: “Vanity of vanities, all is
vanity !” But myself, how often in my
more cheerful moments, and at those more
,thoughtful seasons, when my awakened
faculties have made .me most truly man,
have I been awe struck and breathless,
whilst the great mystery of life has occurred
to my mind in sudden vividncss! In such
moments what a miracle have I felt myself!

Something which has long
been needed.

Every day we hear of some case of
paralysis, softening of the brain, or
some nervous disorder of the head,
resulting from the usevf hairprc ar-
ations containing lead, sulphur, is-
mnth or other mineral substance
equally poisionons. That the use or
these preparations is always attended
wnn danger is an undisputed fact. they are d as
and should not be used tor tlrcssingthc hair. W tat
has long been needed is a preparation like Bayo-
1tne. which is not a restorcr or dye, contains
neither lead, sulphur, bismuth or on mineral
substance whatever. It is. a pure an harmless
hair dressing, keeps the hair from falling out, pro-
motes its growth, eradicates dandruff, cleanses
the scalp, is not greasy or sticky, does not soil and
always leaves a sense of cleanliness and comfort
attained by no other preparation ' for its intended
purposes it has never been equalled.

She told her sire, the portly squire,

hen smelt her smelling salts and slept.

He swung a pistol on each hip,
He gathered up a great ox-whip,
And drove towards the setting sun.

He crossed the‘grcat backbone of earth,
He saw the snowy mountains rblled
Like mighty billows, saw the gold
Ot‘awful sunsets, saw the birth

0f sudden dawn upon the plain.

And every eve would William Brown
Eat pork and beans, and then lie down

The teter hour] of life goes up,

The tcter board of life goes down,

The sweetest face must learn to inWIl ;
The biggest dog has been a pup.

Her lovers passed. Wolves hunt in packs.
They‘sought for bigger game; somehow
They seemed to see about her brow

The forky sign of turkey tracks.

0 maidens, pluck not at the air!
The sweetest ﬂowers I have found
Grow rather close unto the ground,
And highest places are most bare.
Why, you had better win the grace
f one poor cussed African

Than win the eyes of every man
In love alone with his own face.

At last she nursed a ne'w desire;

She sighed, she wept for William Brown.
She watched thc’spleudid sun go down
Like some great sailing ship' a-fire;

Then rose and checked her trunks right on,
And in the cars she lunched and lunched,
And had her ticket punched and punched,
Until she came to Oregon.

She were blue specs upon her nose,

She reached the limit of the lines.

And then set out to reach the mines,

In rather short and manly clothes.

Her right hand held a parasol,

Her pocket held a testament,

And thus equipped right on she went,
Went waterproof and waterfall.

She asked a miner gazing down,

Slow stirring something with a spoon,

To tell her true and tell her soon

What had become of William Brown.

He looked askance beneath her specs,
Then stirred his cock-tail round and round,
Then raised his head and sighed profound,
Add salt , “ He’s handed in his cheeks.”

Then care fedi’on her damaged cheek,
And she grew faint did, Mary Jane,

And smelt her smelling salts.in vain,
Yet wandered on wayworn and weak,
Until at last she sat her down

Upon a sloping hill 8.1.16;

And there, good gracious! stood a stoue,
And 10! that stone read William Brown.

“ 0 William Brown ! 0 William Brown !
And here you rest at last,” she said.

Pulled at his beard, and chewed and chewed.

Above his head, tehn brought them down,
And cried, “ O, I am William Brown,
And this the corner of my lands.”

Her specs fell off, her head fell back,

She screamed—this ancient maiden did,—

Then all the diggers were amazed.

They thought the lonely maiden crazed,

And circling there, they squatted down.
