" I wt. about five years old when my mother died; but her image i as freth in my mind, now that twenty veais have tltpted, as it was at the time of her death.

Methinks I can now see her large blue eye. misty with sorrow, bectuse tf my childish waywardness, and hear her repeat, My child, how can you grieve me .ol" ; She had for a long lime been pale snd feeble, and sometimes there would come a bright spot on her cheek, which msde ber look so lovely, I thought she mutt be well. But then she spoke of dying, snd pressed me to her bosom, and told inc to be good when she was gone, and to love my father a great deal, for he would have no one else ta love.'

Iti is not only smooth, and in excellent order,! but men ara stlioi.ed at cerain intervals during ihe summer mrnh to wet nonce a day, as we do in liroadway, to keep the dust down. We should regard this at home an, entire waste of labor. We did not arrire at Marengo in time to visit the field that evening, so passed on 10 Alletsanuria, wnere we stopped, over night. This is ihe strongest fortifi-1 ed inland place I hae ever aeen. Well manned and provisioned, it would be im- possible to take it.
