Wot. Now.
Talk not of comproiutii' or pence
To traitors with their dripping swords,
This gloiious war clmll never eeive,
To waste our tiniu in useless wonN,
What 1 meak of neace when nainelefs
crime
Lifts up, unnwed, its brazen brow ?
Not now ; no 1 this Is not the time
To cry for peace not uo 1
Talk not of pence while dauntless souls
Are struggling on the battle plain,
Where vengeance's liery chariot rolls
Its gory wheelamong the slain ;
The battle must be fought nnd won,
Rebellion crii'hcd, no matter how I
The wnr for freedom mut go on,
It cannot stop, not now, not now !
When tho.'o who awoke the sound of strife,
Shall come the boon of peace to crave
When those who sought the nation's life,
Shall meekly sue. their own to save
When foemen lay their armor down,
And in stibnilHon humbly bow,
Then war may cea"-e to humbly frown,
Rut now it must not eea-e not now!
Let Northern dastard? cry for pence,
While others llglil, their homes to save ;
Let lories whisper war must cease,
While patriots Had n bloody grave.
Heroes but (Inner clutch the sword,
Willie laureN wreath eacli victor's brow,
And fieenien shout with ono accord
We must not fail nor falter!
We seek no peace till every star,
II right in our constellation shines,
W c stop not in tl path of war,
Until we rench Hint height sublime.
Our flag must tloat o'er every State,
From Maine to I'acilic shore ;
Nor treasons voice ngnlu awake,
To dim its glory nevermore !

Mr. Sqiiibohnt the Falls".
IIV X. V. DAItt.IXO.
lie wns wcnlthy, wasn't n fool, nml wus
not over forty; nml Mrs. Twecdlefoot, who
had been sighing "Mitcen months out ol
the two years sinc.i Mr. Twecdlefoot hud
died, for unolher husband, nml hnd come
to Niagara Falls expressly to obtnin one;
upon meeting Mr. S(pttliol), the Cincinnati
pork merchant, she set her heart nnd mind
upon his being the one. and none other.
Now, Mrs. Twecdlefoot had been n
beauty in her youth, and, at thirty, she still
retained a good share of it, with some
thing that was equally potent a peculiar
charm only found about widows who,
having Feen more of tho world, of course
understand the art of bewitching tho gen
tlemen more completely tlmn do their
younger sisters, who boast moro beauty of
features nnd less wit. As Hkj widow nnd
Mr. Squibob stopped nt the eame hotel, of
course tho former had her own way; for
though Mr. Squibob might not have been
nt nil Attracted toward her, lie could not
but be ogrccnblo to so charming a woman,
and from being that ho wns fast drifting
towards something much more to the wid
ow's liking.
Mr. Squibob had como to Niagara Falls
because other peop'e did. He couldn't
see anything sublime or grand in it; to be
sure, there was a grcnt deal of water, but
he had a fanatical aversion to n great deal
of that liquid especially in hia brandy.
Ho found, after a week's sojourn there,
that, to his fancy, the widow was by far
the most attractive piece of Nature's work
manship nt tho Falls. 'Still, the idea of
making any claim to such un exquisite
article nover entered his mind his heart,
I might hove said, but I think that organ
has lost or forgotten all the pasgions of its
youth.
Hut Mr. Squibob was obliged to accom
pany tho widow everywhere. They stood
on Tabic Rock and saw tho mighty torrent
sweep down, and they stood beneath und
saw it come down, and the widow was de
lighted und gave vent to a gicat many
rapturous exclamations; nnd Mr. Squibob
not from viewing tlio Falls, but from
viewing tho widow forgot nil about the
pork market.
Things continued in this state for some
time altogether too long for the widow,
who was in somewhat more haste to change
her name than when she was first asked.
Hut Mr. Squibob, being perfectly innocent
himself of matrimonial designs, was per
fectly unconscious of the stale of Mrs.
Twcedlelbot's feelings, and so the widow
must think of some expedient to bring
about n crisis.
That wns found soon nfler while Mr.
Squibob nnd his wonld-be-betler-hulf were
taking a morning ride in the carringe, in
the person of Captain Charles, nn officer
in the army, who was on a few weeks' fur
lough. The Captain was coming towards them
on horseback, nnd ns he drew up beside the
carriage, the widow put on one of her most
bewitching smiles, and wished him good
morning.
' Won't you take a sent in the car
riage?" asked she, in her swiet tones, at
the same time watching Mr. Squibob, who
at this invitation frowned nnd looked very
sour.
" It will work well," Enid the widow,
uside.
" Won't you Captain ?" she nsked again,
und that gentleman threw the reins to the
servant, and took the offered seat beside
the widow, opposito Mr. Squibob, who, thu
widow thought, grew blade with rage, u
fact which pleased her very much.
Mr. Squibob did not speak again until
they returned to the hotel, though the wid
ow nnd Captain Charles chatted gaily
enough. Perhaps Mr. Squibob warn willy
in love, as the widow Fiipposed; for he
went immediately went to his room, and
did not como out again till evening, when
he came down to tho "hop," to find the
widow and the Captain dancing together.
The widow felt that his eyes were upon
her before he raised her own to his face.
Hut she was mistaken, for Mr. Squibob's
eyesight was poor, und if ho looked In that
direction, he could not recognize a person
one-half l ho distance.
" I shall catch him sure, Miss Lee," said
the widow to that lady, whom she met in
tho hall a few minutes nfter; for she hnd
made a confident of Miss Lee, and told her
of all her designs upon Mr. Squibob.
" Through Captain Charles ?"
"Yes; he is already jealous; I'll have
him writing sonnets upon my beauty in a
few days. IIo looked moon-struck to
night." Miss Leo did not answer, but skipped
uway, humming n snatch of nn opera,
leaving tho widow to retire to her room
to think of Mr. Squibob, who at that mo
ment wes dreaming of pork.
Next morning Mr. Squibob's carriage
stood ut the door for n long timo waiting
for the widow; but when she did come,
she declined that worthy's invitation, nnd
so lie rodo alone tho widow thought with
an aching heart.
She took a rido on horseback, accompa
nied by Captain Charles, who wns consid
ered tho greatest "catch" nt tho Fall.
They dashed past Mr. Squibob's carriago
in grand style, and Mrs. Twecdlefoot turned
in her saddle und waved her hand to the
gentleman, who bowed in acknowledgment,
though lookiug as glum 83 his heavy pork
ers. lie stood on the, hotel steps when the
equestrians returned, smoking a cigar, and
though tho widow had predicted that he
would soon bo writing love sonnets, a
casual observer would not !mvo thought
there was n great deal of poetry In his soul.
"Oh, I have had such a splendid ride
this morning, Mr- Squibob!" eaid the
widow, ns she alighted.
"Ah, indeed. Owing to your pay cav
alier, I suppose," he answered, in the wost
nonclialent manner.
"Well, not nkogellwr. I love to ride,
dearly;" and then she added, in a lower
voice, "perhaps I Bhould choose n difiereut
companion. Do you ride J"
" No."
"I almost wish you did," she said, in a
hulf-whispcr, ns if talking to herself, nt the
same lime laying her small, white hand
upon Mr. Squibob's cont sleeve.
"And If I did?" ho nsked, tnking the
cigar ou. of his mouth, und squinting nt n
fine-porker that nn Irishman was driving
by.
"Why, it would be so fine," she exclaim
ed, with some animation.
" Yes, very lino hog," he replied, still
viewing the portly porker.
"No; I was speaking of riding," and she
gave one of her cheery laughs at Mr.
Squibob's mistake.
" Oh. yes; but don't you think I am loo
old to learn, Mrs. Twecdlefoot?"
" Too old ! Why, Mr. Squibob, you're
right in the prime of life. Hut perhaps"
and she glanced at his portly form.
"IVrhnps I should mukc but poor work
of it. eli ?"
" 1 didn't mean that, she replied," ns she
turned nwny. ' He'll propose now," fIic
said as she went to her room. " I'll give
1 ti in an opportunity to-night."
And who will blame the little widow if
she went about with a joyous heart, only
anxiously awaiting the shades of evening?
After a year and a half's weary search she
had found just the right mini n dear good
old soul, that once under her thumb, she
could fashion ns she pleased. Once mar
ried, and she would lead him by the nose,
of course.
It was a beautiful night, nnd the hum
nnd rear of tho cataract made it truly fit
for lovers, who might breathe their love
vows unheard except by each other, for the
rushing of the mighty waters.
The widow, leaning upon Mr. Squibob'H
arm, standing beside the river, fell pcifcct
ly happy. She had .un inward conscious
ness that the hour was at hand, und she
waited to hear those words that she had
longed to hear from Mr. Squibob's lips,
with culm resignation worthy of a widow
woo had east her net and caught a prize.
The moonlight upon Mr. Squibob's face,
which gave an additional glow to his nose,
which rivaled thu sunset glow ut all times,
imparted, the widow thought, as she looked
up to him, n noble expression to his luce,
mid gave u softer tinge to his crispy black
hair.
For some time, as is generally tho case
with lover.s, when they have so much to
say that they hardly know where to begin,
Mr. Squibob uud the widow remained in
silence.
'Oh, Hint o mo the wings were given
Which bear the turtle to her nest,
Then would I cleavo thu vault of heaven,
To Heo away and bu at re.it,"
mm inured the widow .oftly, clasping more
firmly the supporting aim.
Mr. Squibob, who, I hate to tell it, had
been thinking of nothing but pork for the
last half hour, gave u grunt, and uot
knowing what else to say, usked:
"Why, Mrs. Tweedlcfoot, arc you sad to
night ?"
" Ye?, I always feel so these still, grand
evenings. If 1 could lly nwny and dwell
in some of those beautiful worlds on high,"
and she sighed, while Mr. Squibob, feeling
rather uneasy, jingled a few more coppers
in his pockets.
"Theuitsso ead she continued," drop
ping her head upon Mr. Squibob's shoulder,
" to bo alone in this dreary world, with no
ono to lovo you or enro for you. When
James was alive" but flbo broke down
there, nnd Mr. Squibob, reeling rather
queer, took out his handkerchief nnd was
going to wipo her eyes, but he changed his
mind nnd blew his nose with a great deal
of vehemence. Still he remained -quito pas
sivo nnd listened very attentively as the
widow went on aguin with her complaint,
only stopping occasionally to 6igh and
look up at Mr. Squibob und tho moon,
whose faces, so far as expression was con
cerned, were on an equality.
'I hope I did not do wroog, Mr. Squi
bob, inriding out with Captain Charles,"

cd, nml she felt that she conld not keep up
the present strain without onions.
" Why, no; nothing wrong nbout it thnt
I Ifiiow of," suid Mr. Squibob. " He's u
very fine young man, I believe, nnd I hnvo
n great deal of respect for him."
" Well, yes; but I didn't know ns you
would like It considering our you under
stand me, l'eter, und the widow hung her
head.
"No, I'll bo bonged ir I do J" cried Mr.
Squibob.
" Why, you know whnt every ono is say
ing you must have heurd it,"
"About me ?''
" You and I."
" No. I've heard nothing. "What do
you mean ?"
" What n pesky thickdiendcd old fool ho
is" thought the widow.
" Madam, I should like to have you ex
plain yourself."
" Why, it's in everybody's mouth."
" What ?"
" I don't like to tell," she murmured,
hiding her face on his shoulder.
" Oh, the deuce! out with it,"
" Well, they suy that we arc going to
be mar oh, I can't."
" Oh, ah, I think I understand you now?"
and Mr. Squibob took of his hat und
scratched his head. "Yes, I think 1 un
dcistuud. Hut I want to ak you n ques
tion, Mrs. Twecdlefoot."
The widow looked up into ids eyes and
smiled, oh ! so sweetly.
" Do you know the Cuptuin's name."
" Why, yes." replied the widow, surprised
nt the question, huviug expected something
cle. " It is Charles."
" Yes, Charted Squibob, my ton, who is
soon to bo married to Miss Lee, u young
lady whom I shall be huppy to cull
daughter, und who has been kind enough
to tell me of the plans you laid to catch
tho pork merchant. Adieu, my fair one;
but belorc I go let me give you this advice;
don't try to get a pork merchant for u hus
band, for, owing to their business, they
will bo apt to slip through your lingers.'
The widow would have fainted if there
had been any one to ruiso her up; but m
there was not, she cast one despairing
glance at the moon, two ut the angry flood
that rolled beneath her feet; wondered if
it would hurt much to be carried over the
fall, uud ut lust, after making a solemn vow
never to cut pork, even with beans, she re
turned to the hotel to dieam of her dear,
lost Jumei. From the Wide World,
IIoskcimvs. Tho Washington corres
pondent of the Sacramento Union, under
date of October 21th, says :
" It is hard to give up a popular idol
and those who have long believed that the
hero of Stone River, Muifreesboro nnd
Corinth was a cuusumnte General will de
mur ut his sudden fail. It is sad und dis
heartening that eucIi things must be, but
they must be, und it is a tuiflicicnt answer
to ull cavils to say that no man in tho na
tion wus more pained ut thu necessity of
the removal of Ccncral Rosecraus than
wus tho President himrelf. Hut that hon

It is uot proper that ull men should now

know that this Administration has never
dismissed a valuable public sciwunt or re
lieved any general of his command without
