Love's Armor-Bearer.
Love's armor-hearer goes before,
Anii half prepares the way for Love,
Faint tiros thish in his beardless face
While golden lashes droop above.
The lovely eyes, that shyly glance
From f ide to side ; he seems so young ;
llo moves with such exquisite grace
We quite forget his silent tongue.
He runs before, and all the youth.
Come out to meet him on his way,
Like startled fawns, the- peer at him,
Half wish, half fear, that he may stay.
Far ort'taey follow where he leads,
His flaming torch shed sparks of fire,
The burning seed blown back, tak s root
To spring in new and vague desire.
Ode to a I'isli 'Worm,
i Unlucky treature ! When th cruel aook
Impales thec,.r- I plunge th.3e in the brook,
Thou canst y y n agonizing yVll,
The fearful ivVv ;-, thou end nrest tell.
Thou canst not, by thy. countenance, express
. awful suffering and dire distress.
'Tis only in thy power to twist and squirm,
l!ut I can tell what that dost mean, () worm !
And shall I all this pain inflict on thee ?
Xo ; I'll show mercy Ila ! What do I see
In yuiid r pool so deep ? It is a trout !
A big three-pounder ! I must have him out!
For w hat are 3 0U to such a prize, O worm ?
Thy hour has come I (Jot on that hook !
Don' t squirm !
Ila ! You resist me ! 'Twill avail thee
naught.
That trout still waits for thee. It must be
caught
(h, drat ! I've dropped the worm, and too,
by snum,
That cussed hook I've baited with my thumb !
Confound the thing! I've lost that worm,
and more,
The trout made off the minute that I swore.
A Fearful Act.

Last .Sunday afternoon, between 4
and 5 o'clock, Mrs. Emilj Carter, the
wife of a well-known and highly re
spected citizen, Mr. Samuel Carter,
who resides four miles from Thomson,
took her little infant, six months old,
aii J carried it to the woods, a short
distance from the house, and then,
with her husband's razor, cut its
throat from ear to ear, leaving it y

(Continuation.) Returning to the
edge of the cleared space, I trawled
among the wet weeds to watch the
foe. Sunset was at hand, though the
storm darkened into the gloom of
twilight. Heavy thunder lumbered
in the distance, the wind swept the
. 1. 1 1 ....... 1 I
of corn sounded to my over-wrought
nerves like some strange super-natural
symphony. Then the heavens open
ed ; the deluge descended ! In a twink
ling earth was drenched, half-drowned
! As for me, what difference did it
make I I was miserably superior to
every such discomfort.
But hark ! what is that ? The sound
ot voices in the corn-field behind me !
And a crashing, sua
1 r.tt n cit'tieni.f r t
the tall cane, as if of men
running.
Soon they will strike the creek, and
come down upon me!
Half arising to look for an biding
place among the reeds I make a
blood-stirring discovery : the sentry
has left the culvert, and taken shelter,
with a comraJe, under a large tree,
nearly one hundred yards down the
levee! They are standing together,
with hats pulled down, and a single
oil cloth wrapped around the shoulders
of both ! Instantly m3r resolution is
ta.ken. Uttering a little prayer as I
run across the cleared ground, -threshing
down the reeds anil" weeds with
what seems to my excited senses the
noise of a locomotive, I tumble into
the boat, head-long, and rest a mo
ment to take breath, and listen.
(Hud there then come a yell from the
men in l ho corn, or the soldiers in
front, I think I must have dropped
down dead. But a miss is as good as
a mile. Tho booming ot the storm
saved me.)
And now to unfasten tho boat,
which is chained to a rock on the
bank. After trying m' ke's on the
pad-lock, and failing to break the
chain, I tear up the seat, a strip of
pine, five inches wide, and by great
stress manage to slide rock and ail in
to the bow of the boat. Then, to my
dismay, I perceive there ar no oirsl
working under a canal.
The boat was a flat-bottomed bat
teau, 20 feet long, 6 wide, and a foot
deep, designed for use in shallow wa
ter, propelled, hy long poles, which
had been carried away ; though of no
.1 1 -
service in crossing tne ueep riei.
Fearing the searchers would emerge
from the corn, I shoved the end of the
scow into the culvert, and, flat upon
my back, began to work through, by
pushing with hands and feet against

enough. At the tree, scarcely
stone's throw distant, stood the two
soldiers, in plain view of my line of
transit across the river !
FLYING FOR LIFE.
Taking the broken strip of pine for
a paddle, I threw my whole strength
! against the masonry, and sent the flat

"eel on finding themselves borne down
1 cataract. In a moment 1 see m'
error; ignorant of boating I have been
Saddling loo much on one side. Lucki
ly, the rain drowned the noise of the
paddle.
Of course this can not last. Al
though obliquing across the stream,
1113' weak arms are unable to keep the
broad batteau from drifting in front of
the foe. Suddenly I hear a growl of
amazement, a volley of curses, a throw
ing down of wraps, the clicking of
musket triggers, and a chorus of yells :
"aft ! Halt ! Halt there ! Stop..
God dn yon I STOP ! Drop that
puddle ! HALT, d n you, or ice' LI kill
you !"
1 do not look around, therj isn't
to halt, because I prefer to place a
thousand yards of water between us.
They have their views ; 1 have mine.
People cannot always agree.
SHOOTING THE ROAT FROM UNDER ME
A momentary de!aj-, while the Yan
kees ran down to the river bank, and
tbejr opened fire. "Bngl Bimj !"
the music resounded through the
misty atmosphere like the explosion
of a couple of cannon. One bullet
went 'sing-ing-ing' overhead : the oth
er struck the water. Instantly a
shout arose from the corn-field, anoth
er soldier came running down the riv
er bank, and the rapid thumping of a
drum beating the "long roll," at some
point below ; the firing having created
an alarm of '"Rebel advance." Half-a-dozen
"reserves" came running up
he towpath, yelling and firing as they
caught sight of me. It sounded like
a skirmish line of sharp-shooters. Thelsigns that their departure was hurried,
air swarmed with bullets ; each one Swingirg on a crane in tbe fire-place
seemiiojly a trifle less than one-sixteenth
of an inch from my ears ! Pres
ently the rascals, getting the range,
began to chip splinter after splinter
off lhe edges of the boat. All my
strength was put forth in widening
the distance between us. Then came
a crippling shot, splitting my paddle,
and leaving two strips of pine in my
Imnds! This disaster ocen rred when

lively fashion ; but as they were arm

ran,re rifles., not having come into
vogue), and as I had gotten fully 400
3'ards dist'iut, anil in the shadow, with
an heavy rain falling, my chances were

As my island was more than a mile
long, and as I landed near the centre,
in the gloom of a stormy evening, it
was not singular I mistook it for the
mainland.
A BAD PREDICAMENT.
Yet it was a disheartening discov
er. R-collect that I had eaten noth
ing, except a little hard corn for near
ly l hive days, was barefooted, and ex
hausted from over-excitement. The
rain was pouring down, and twilight
settling with a blackness that fitted
like a soggy black blanket over all
the earth. But, hold ! a corn-field
signifies cultivation, and cultivation
betokens inhabitation. Perhaps some
one lives on the island. Hastening
westward I come out of the corn into
an immense wheat field, the island be
ing divided between the two grains.
Imagine my joy on seeing in the mid
dle- of the field a two-stoiy log house!
It wa as if the sun had suddenly
burst through the gloom ! True, the
denizens might be "loyal," and give
me troubh; ; but they could not deny
food and shelter, which, with rest,
were become absolutely indispensable.
Strange there are no lights? Surely
it is not bed time ! The door stands

mind ; the house is tenantless, de

James E. Shepherd, and who was
way in which he came, and found that
the fire hud already reached the road
ahead of him. Being completely
hemmed in at both ends of the road,
he released the mule from the car ami

owing to its density and the rapid,
travel of the tire, was overtaken and
burned to death. His body was after
