“DON’T CARE.”

Old Den’'t Care is a murderer foul, And a murderer foul is he—

He beareth a halter in his hand,— And his staff is the gallows-tree ;

And slyly he follows his victim on, Through high degree and low,

And strangles him there, when least aware, And striketh the fatal blow—

Hanging his victim high in the air, A villain strong is Old Don’t Care!

He looks on the babe iv bis mother’s breast, And blighteth that blossom fair,

For its young buds wither, and fade and die "Neath the gaze of Old Don't Care;

And in place of these there epringeth up Full many a poisonous weed,

And their tendrils coil round the victim's heart A lank and loathsome breed,

Blighting the spirit young und fair: A villain strong is Old Don’t Care!

He meeteth bold manhood on his way, And wrestleth with him there,

Aud he falls a sure and easy prey To the strength of Old Don’t Care;

Theu he plants his foot upon his victim's breast. And shouts with demon joy,

And treadeth the life from bis panting heart, And exulteth to destiny :

Crushing bold manhood every where, A villain strong is Old Don't Care!

THE SOURCE OF SONG.

How, when the dart my bosom rends,

You ask, cau I then sing aud jest ?

How, when my grief all bounds transcends, Can lays of love flow from my breast ?

Once on the bosom of a lake,

A snow-white swan swam quietly ; No song did then the silence break Of that translucant sumumer sea.

At early dawn, in tranquil eve,

She floated free—and then took wing To seek in flight a brief reprieve, But silently :—she could not sing.

Yet, when her heart the arrows stung, And agonies of death wore strong,

What she in joy bad never sung,

She then pours forth—her first, last song. <r -

MISTAKEN HONOUR. While a student in the city of Berlin. whitber [ had gone to finish my education [ became acquainted with a fellow student, by the name of Jules Langheim. F:om the very irst we were friends, and we knew it. There are. some natures that come to- gether a3 two parts that have been separat- ed. We meet io reality as strangers, but seemingly as if we bad known each other al! our lives. Mach fegis as if be had a claim upon the other, ang the other upon him This is true relationghip—not of body, but of soul—and is as much superior to blood as spirit is to matter. Qur brother in the flush, born of the same mother, may vot be our friend; but he whose inner being bleuds with ours, can be relied upon in the darkes' hour of tribulation,

Jules Langheim was worthy of the friend- ship L gave him — the love I felt for him lle was a noble fellow—open, candid, bigh- spirited, and generous to a fault—in every respect the very soul of truth aud honour. How | loved him-even frow the first! and how :hat love grew by what it fed upon, til! at length it seemed as if his existence was secessary to miue! as if the world would be a blauk without him! Often, when pur- suing Gur studies together, did I find my- self, with book neglected, sitting and gazing upoo his handsome form and manly face— with its broad, high brow, fively-chiseled nose, frm set mouth, and well-rounded chio —and only made conscious of my contem- plation, perhaps, by the sudden lifting of his large, deep, b'ue eyes to mine, as if his soul had been touched by the mugueuc cur- rent passiug to and fro between us. As a natural consequence of this affinity, our in ‘ityacy soon became such, that each made a coufidant of the other, and revealed his mos: secret thoughts as freely as ever did devout: believer to a father confessor. At that time we were both young and ambitious, the great world was before us, we had influential friends and high expectations, and many a bright dream of our supposed golden tuture did we pursug together, till ia fancy we stood on the very summit of fame and hap- piness. Alas and alas! that it was only a dream !

Que evening, on returning from the opera, whither [ had gone alone—an unusual thing, my friend being pre-engaged for a party at whist—I[ found him slowly walking up and down the room, looking very pale, and evidently more d:sturbed in miud than he wished to have appear.

‘My dear friend, what is the matter ?’ was my first eager question,

‘1 fear [ bave some unpleasant news for you,’ be said, turning and throwing bimeelt into ® larg? arm-chuir, * Upon my honor, Freder ck Delorme,’ he continued, as | stood half aghast with evil expectation—wy soul, as it were, by a kind of presentiment, grasp- ing the future with a shudder-—* deeply as [ regret what bas occurred aud is about to happen, | teel it more on your account than my own!’

‘Speak, Jules!’ I cried; ‘ what is it?’

‘ Over the eard-table to-night I had an altercation with Adolph Bergner, and one word led to another, till at lust, in a moment of unguarded passion, 1 gave him the lie direct.’

‘Well?

‘His friend has called upon me since, and | bave referred him to you. I did not know what hour you would return, but I requested him to drop in at half-past eleven It now wants five minutes of the time.’

* How, asa man of honor, can [ avoid it ?

‘Can the matter vot be settled by mutual friends ?’

+I fear not, He accused me of cheating. and [ called bim a liar. Until bis charge is withdrawn, mine must hold good; and |

mit a reconciliation by any such means.’

‘ But notwithstanding this, my dear friend you must not fight!’ | persisted. * Think how much more you stake thao he. He is a mere adventurer, in ore sense, with noth- ing to lose but his lite; while you have a character and high hopes, which will be blasted by this oue act even sbouid you escape with life.

friends?’ said Langheim, with a troubled look. ‘If I decline to fight I shall be branded as a coward and never more be able to hold up my head among my cowrades and fellow students.’

friends?’ said Langheim, with a troubled took. ‘If I decline to fight, I shall be branded as a coward and never more be able to hold up my head among my com- rades and fellow students.’

‘It is a hard case!’ [ groaned; ‘either horn of the dilemma is bad enough, Heaven knows; but still, let the result be what it will, I must insist that you do not give your adversary a meeting. If merely your life was at stake, Jules, much as I love you, I would pot council you as I do; but to see your reputation blasted at the very outset of your career, would break my heart. No, no, my friend, there must be no meeting — you must summon up all your moral cour- age and refuse to go out!’

Jules Langheim started up, and with pale cheeks, knitted brows, and clenched hands, rapidly paced up and down the room, some eight or ten times. Then hastily seating himself at his writing desk, he seiz- ed a pen, dashed off a few lines, and folded, sealed and superscribed the note.

‘There, Fred, you have your wish grant- ed—to you only, of all men on earth. I shall not be disgraced by a due!l—there will be no hostile meeting between Bergner and myself. When his friend calls, give him that note as your answer, and with that your part in the affair will cease.’

I grasped his hand, and, with tears in my eyes, said:

‘Courage, my noble friend! courage! I: is @ great sacrafice for ycu to yield this point to me, | know; but I trast you will be re- warded as you deserve!’

He turned away in great agitation, and at the same moment there came a tap at the dvor.

‘It is Sweitzen—Bergner’s friend!" he said. ‘TI will go out.’

He seized his hat, wrung my hand with a nervous grasp, aod passsd the second in the door-way. with a slight salutation,

With Sweitzen my business soon ended. [ handed him the note for Bergner, and told him the decision of Langheim would be found iu that. He replied that such a pro- ceeding was irregular — that, being the re- presentative of the principal, the note, no matter what proposition it contained, should have been addressed to him. LI rejoined that I believed I had nothing further to do or say in the matter; and the interview ab- ruptly closed.

Afier Sweitzen had gone, I anxiously lo ked for the return of my friend. Oe, two, three hours passed, and still he did not come. I remained up all night, ia anxious nope; but he did not return, Perhaps | would meet him at morning prayers! Bur bo—to my great distress, he was not among the assembled students. I made many eager enquiries, but no one had seen him,

I took a long walk through the city to cool my fevered brain, and was returning to my room, an hour or so later, when some vue burried up behind-and tapped me on the shoulder. [ turned and confronted a stranger, in the plain garb of a peasant.

‘Beg your honor’s pardon!’ he said; ‘but might your honor be a student in the college you ?’

* Yes.’

‘ Perhaps your honor might tell ne, then, how quickest { can fiud a geotlemad named Frederick Delmore ?’

‘itis my nawe!’ I exclaimed, feeling my blood take a fresh leap at the hope ol hearing from Jules,

‘ [t is curious,’ returned the countryman, beginning - unbution bis coat, ‘that | shculd bave ’1 after the very geotleman I wanted, to a. him where he might be— ha! ha! ba! Well, your hunor must know that at daylight: bis morning, just as 1 was

[coming out of mys house, a gentleman rid

up O08 = panting-horse, and, banding me a letter and teu thalers, made m. swear to de- liver it before night; and thinking it must be something cousequcatial, | ran in, snatch- ed a pleve of bread, and here L be.’ ‘Well! well! the letter! the letter? cried I. ‘ Yes, your hovor, bre it be,’ returned the man, thrusti»g bis baud into bis bosom and bringing it forth. I seized it, recognized the writing, tore it open, and read the following with feelings better imagined than described : October 11, 4 o'clock, A. M.

“My Dzar Faisyp:— Forgive me for paining your noble heart! for having con- cealed [rom you my real design! In deelin- ing to fight my adversary, I felt that honor demanded from me a proposition requiring at least as great a risk of lile, if not of reputa- tion. You remember you said you wouid permit the risk of life, providing eharacter were not involved. I acted on this, and wrote Bergner I would not fight him, but would decide by lot which of the two would put an en@*#his own existence, I fol- lowed his friew@lgo’ his lodgings, and we speedily agreed upon the terms.

On reading this, 1 was so shocked, so overpowered, so stupefied, that for some winutes I could not act. My brain swam, and the letter before me seemed to take \the color of blood. I roused myself at

‘On, for the love of God!’ I cried; ‘straight to the inn !”

Fatal miscalculation! In my terrible anxiety to reach Neuf before my friend should put an end to himself, I overlooked the fact, that, if living, my arrival in such

‘Still, what am [ to do, my best of|/a public manner, would attract his atten-

entered the village in a very different man-| jner, and perhaps my friend might bave been | | living now,

On reaching the inn, with a thundering’ clatter, that drew the whole village out to look at us, I leaped to the ground, seized the astonished landlord, and demanded to | know if there was a stranger from Berlin | under his roof.

‘Yes!’ he answered quickly, catching| some of wy wild excitement ; ‘a handsome | young man—a thief, or robber, may be--or |

* Quick ! Quick !’ I interrupted! ‘show me | to his room !’

We rushed away together. I espied an ,axe, and seized it as [ passed. On arriving jat the room door, and finding it fast 1 shouted :

‘ Jules, for the love of God, do nothing rash! It is [—your frieund—Delorme ; come to my arms and be saved !’

‘ Federick, farewell!’ cried a tremulous | voice in reply; and at the same mowent I heard the sharp report of u pistol.

With ove blow of the axe I split down the door, and rushed in, ‘There lay my frieod, in the Jast quiver of Jife—a ghastly spectable—shot through the temples! With a Shriek of anguish, I threw myseif down beside him; and from that time, for several! hours, I have now no distinct recollection of what took place,

Alas aud alas! poor Jules Langheim! He was the victim of mistaken honor, He went early to his eterna! account, and left many friends to mourn his loss; and one, at least, to weep for him threugh the long years of a since unhappy life.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Systematic Furets.—{f young ladies who pride themselves un their ekill and tact in the art of flirtation could only tear all that is said of them behind their backs, we think they would renounce their meretricious bluan- dishments forever, and blush, if not past that wholesome indication of shame, for the false part they had so far played in society. The practical flirt is looked upon by all young men, save those green enough to be her vic- tims, merely as a trivolous piece of human trumpery, with whom it may be well enough to while away an idle hour now and then, when nothing better in the way of amuse- ment offers. She is freely discussed in club r-om conversation, and at the bars of hotels, and her tricks of fascination are the subjects of the coarsest jesis. She is looked upon as an actress, without the excuse of a passion for the stage, or of necessity, for her’ miser- able dissimulation. Instead of the respect with which all honorable men regard true women, she earns for herself their contempt, while the good and amiable of her own sex look upon her with loathing. Of obtaining a desirable husband she has not the slightest chance, and the probability is that ehe will either die unmarried or accept, as a dernier resort, some wretch who will avenge upon Her by his brutality the deception she bas endeavored to practise upon better men, Ip either case she will deserve her fate. We would advise any young lady, who is inclined to flirtation, to ask some old jilt who has beer through the mill whether she thinks that sort of thing pays in the end.

Canninc’s Onarorica, Powers. —Speaking one day of the fine edge of C .nning’s humor, he observed, ‘*You see the joke sparkling in his eyes before he gives it utterance. It ap- peared to me to furnish a sort of intellectual parallel to the natural fact that light travels quicker than sound—you behold the flash before you bear the report.”’ On an other occasion he said there were moments when Pitt and Fox carried their auditors along with them with a power that at the time appeared irresistable ; **but,’’ added he, **so varied are Canning’s qualifications ~sucl his eloquence, wit and humor, ana so striking his figure and manner, that | really must ac- count him on the whole as perfect an orator us I have ever known. Ah!” said he, **Can- ning is now at the top of everything, and he is about to marry his daughter into one of our noble families —and Mrs. Canning will become a peeress—and—then—the bubble will barst.

THE WAR IN THE STATES. PIGHT FOR THE WELDON RAILROAD. Special Correspondence of the Washington Chronicle,

Tuc YeLLow House, Aug. 20.

Here is a summary of the movemeut which gave us possession of the Weldon railroad.— Toursday morning the fifth corps marched to the left. Their destination wae the present position ; the ohject of the march, destruction te the railroad communicating with North Carolina. The small command of cavalry in advance captured or drove off every rebel this

[side of the road. Very few shots were ex-

changed. A few cavalry videttes only op- posed our progress. If a surprise was de- signed it couli not have been more successfal. Griffin's division first reached the road, and immediately began to tear it up, making breastworks of the rails and sleepers. A$ this place the command halted for rest and refreshments. Near noon the rebels made their appearance. Mahon'’s and Lleath's divisions were rushed upon the doable quick, They attacked us instantly, impetuously. Ayer's division seemed about to be over- whelmed, when Hoffman's brigade of the 4th came bravely upon his left and ordered the rebels stout resistance, ‘he Purnell Legion, com posed of Marylanders, for a moment re- ceived the heaviest portion of the shock, but soon recovered from the momentary confusion into which they were thrown. Crawford upon the right and Ayers upon the left now advancing their line simultaneously, swing- ing it around and forward so as to take longer and stronger grasp upon the road, lor which the enemy now exhibited great anxiety.
