Tflß TWO ARMIES. DY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES As Life’s unendig column* pours Two marshalled hosts are seen— Two armies oil the trampled she res That Death flows black between, One marches to the drum beat's roll, The wide mouthed clarion’s bray. And bears upon a crimson scroll, ‘Our glory is to slay .’ One moves in silence by the streams. With sad, yet watchful eyes, Calm as the patient planets gleam That walks the clouded skies. Along its front no sabres shine, No blood red pennons wave; Its banner bears the single line, "Our duty is to save.’ For those no death-bed’s lingering shade; At Honor’s trumpet-call, W ith knitted brow and lifted blade In Glory's arms they fall. For these no clashing falchoins bright. No stiring battle cry; The bloodless stabbercalls by night— Each answers, Here am I!' For those the sculp* ors laurelled bust. The builder’s marble piles, The anthems pi aling o’er their dust Through long cathedial aisles. For these the blossom-sprinkled turf That Foods the lonely graves, When Spring rolls in her sea-green surf In flowery foaming waves. Two paths lead upward from below, And angels wait above, Who count each burning life- drop’s flow, Each falling tear of Love. Though from the Hero’s bleeding breast Her pulses Freedom drew, Though the white lillies in her crest Spring from that scarlet hue— While Vilor’s haughty champions wait Till all their scars are shown, Love walks unchallenged through, the gate To sit beside the Throne.

DAVY JONES’ LOCKER. BI FRANK OWENS. On the northern coast Ireland, situated on Donegal Bay, stands the retired village of T . A pretty village it is, nnd abounds in all classes of people, from the wealthy landlord, living in luxury and ease down to the poor laborer, toiling daily to procure a living for himself and family; all thd%e people, ‘living upon one another,’ very seldom leaving except to attend market, which was held every Saturday in the town of B—S—, Bonn five miles northward. In case of storm or very high tide, the sea rises several feet above its usual height, and in such cases breaks through fences, &c., and comes surging and foaming through fields and meadows and in its return leaves hundreds of fish killed on the green sward. Hight opposite the village, a mile or more out in the sea lunsaledge of rocks, called Corrig na rone; whose tops are seldom covered, except on these occasions. On a stormy night in the month of November, when the sea was abating, after having rissen five or six feet, and a dense fog hung over the old ccrrig a party of three fishermen were standing convenient (o the pole-house, peering through the mist at some object evidently between the rock nnd that part of the shore called Coarse Flax; but none of them spoke for some time, till the tallest, man, (about six feet iu his stockings) named Jemmy C.. but better known by the cognomen of Long Jemmy, said—'Now I’il be after beltin’ ye a shillin’ that some craft or other has got in there between the rock and flag, and is afeared to come out, cause she don’t know tlie way, for I know she hasn’t a pilot on board, and will surely be racked on the return of the tide. So, boys, if you have a mind to make a shiner or two, I’ll advise you to be after getten’ the Petrel and fakin’ a tlirip out, for any of us know® the passage as well as the M— more Coast Guards.’ ‘Now, Jemmv,’ said the second, who was known by the appellation of Red Johnny; 'l’ll tel] you its all fudge to think of crossing the bar such a night as this. To be sure, the ould boat does well enough for a draught now and then at the .butt of the waves,’ but now she’d be smashed and no mistake, and then what would Misther Anthony and the Salmon do?’ The third, who was known by the name of Scotch Jake (because he went to Scotland every sea-on,) then said—•J think its belher let such things be t especially as we don’t know what kind of a craft she is, or if she was the right kind <?fa craft, she would signal thecoast guard who would get her out in less than no time, ««• it' rou ar« wt > vt ’il cemc along with u-. ’

‘Well, at any rate,’ added the first, ■l’ll take the Petrel and go out to the craft, so if ye have a mind to ye can cimc along; but if ye don't I’ll go meself, and get the craythure out from among the rocks.’ ■Well, a good evenin’ to you, Jem,’ said Jake, ‘and we wish you a prosperous voyage, but take our advice and come home to you wife and childer.’ So saying, the three parted: the latter went towards home, and Jemmy down to loose the Stormy Petrel. The laws ol the place were such that a vessel happening to get inside the rocks at night, should display a red light from her mast head; on seeing which signal coast guards would get herout. On this occasion the ship displayed no light, and the superstitious fisherman imagined that ‘ she might be one of Davy Jones’ fleet. Next morning Jemmy C. ‘turned up missing,’ and as the Petrel, ( the name of the boat be had taken out to the ship,) was washed ashore, it was the general opinons that he went to Davy Jones, lock- ’ er. All that day the shore was searched for his body, but it could not be found till about 5 o’clock P. M., when he was found alive, but towel that he appeared to j , have been fighting the wave for the last ten hours. All congratulated him on his narrow escape, aud begged he would tell his adventure with the strange craft, no longer vissib'.e, which, after changing his clothes <fcc., he began thus: •Well, ve see, after I left ye last night, I went down and pulled out as far as the bar, then turned round ‘Coorse Flag,’ when I bad a view of the ship; then I pulli ed to the leeside, when I balwed out at the top of my voice if they wanted a pilot to bring them clear of the flags and rocks. ' After a while a rope was thrown down to me, and I was hauled on board, but it was iso dark I was told they would lie there I until morning, so I went to sleep, and ‘ when they woke me up, I tuk the wheel and soon cleared her of the rocks; when I asked the fellow to let me see the master as I wanted to get my wages and be goin’. The fellow said—‘Captain isn’t* up now, but I must wait till he rises, or go be d—d.’ Now to be sure, I thought this mighty uncivil, but I didn't want to make any remarks about it; so 1 looked around, and such a sight of birds; basts and fishes as I seen, made me fancy I was in Davy Jones’ locker, when I found some one tipping me on the shoulder, and 1 turned round to see who it was, when who should I see but Davy Jones himself, and curious individul he was, with a pair of clovtn feet and a tail three yards long.

•Well, old teller, ye want to get paid, so here is a fair recompense for your ser-1 vices;’ so saying, he held out a purse full of gold, saying—'take this.’ Well, you know I got mighty scared by seein’ it—so goin’ up to him with a bow a scrape, I said,‘Wili yer honor’s reveience and glo'ry be so kind and so condescending and so obliging as to give me a shiling or two ' and it will do me as well as that great purse.’ At this he got mighty angry. j and said—‘lf you do not take this, I’ll i lain you to have a little more manners for j a gentleman.’ and with this he bit his tail , three raps agin’ the deck, and the ship; and all went right straight down to the bottom, and I was leftswimmin’ away for bare life, till ye seen me reach the shore. We wete all pleased with Jemmy’s i story, never doubting its truth. After this Jemmy made a great show, such as fixing his house, building a new boat,' <tc., though the season was the dullest' for some time. After a few years it leaked out some how or other, that the ship; Jemmy piloted was not an unearihly one,; but a rich smuggler, who got in among' the rocks in the, fog, and that Jeinmyr wetting himself, &c., was all a ruse, and he had no hesitation in receiving a purse of gold from the hands of the captain, which he would not receive cut of the unearihly hands of Davy Jones. A little ragged urchin had a curiosity to see Kimballs museum the other day, and quietly stepped in by the doorkeeper who caught him by the arm and demanded his quarter. The little urchin drew up to his full height, and told the man he didn't want to buy his museum, he want ;ed to see it. The doorkeeper handed him in, and also politely offered him his hat in the bargain. A friend met one of the hangers on of the courts in the street, a day or two ago and inquired, ‘How is busines?’ The replv was; Very dull—nothing doing. If I onir had something else to do, I'd quit tins jtirv busioess. He was a professional juror,

TILE GLOBE: the OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS. [PUBLISH now my animal ProspectiU of' The Daily Globe, and The Congressional ! Globe and Appendix, to remind subscribers, ■ and inform those who may desire to subscribe, | •hat Congress will meet on the first Monday of next December, when I shall recommence pub 'lishin<r the above named papers, . hey have i been published so long that most public men know their character, and therefore I deem it I needless a minute account of the kind of matter thev will contain. . The Daily Globe will contain a report oflhe debatesin both branches of Congress as taken ( down bv reporters equal, at least, to any corps ' of short-hand writers in this or any other couni fy. A majority of them will, each, be able to I to report, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour while the average number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceed seven thousand five hundred words an hour. M hen the debates of a day do not make more than forty ' columns they shall appearin the Daily Globe of the next morning, which will contain, also, the new? of the day? together with such editorial articles as may be suggested by passing events. It is also my intention, from time, as occasion I may require, to publish my reminiscences of the public men with whom I have been associated . during the last twenty eight years. Anecdotes • of General Jackson, and the leaders ofthe party which he conducted, and the leading men of' other parties, will, I believe, be interesting now ' when partisan bitterness has abated. In becoming the reporter of the debates of Congress 1 deemed it proper to say that the i Globe would never be a partisan paper. This, pledge will not be forfeited by introducing as a j contribution to history the political traits of character which distinguished the public men of my time. Although I am, and intend to remain, a thourough democrat, I will never obtrude my principles in a wav to make them obnoxious to an v party. But in regard to persons and events which go to make up history, I hope to make the Globe an honest memoir: and with that view I am resolved to speak independently of all parties. The Congressional Globe and Appendix will contain a report of all the debates in Congress, revised bv the speakers, the messages of the President of the United States, the annual reports of the heads of the executive departments, ' the laws passed during the session,and copious indexes to all. They will be printed ona dou- , ble royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto size, each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, -3,3'»0 and 3,900 pages, as the longsessions for manyyears have ranged between those numbers, and the next session will be what is termed a “long one.’’— This 1 believe is the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed from manuscript copy, taking for data the average number of words of the long session since rhe year 1848. The average number of pages is 3,876, and the average number of words on a page is 2.397, consequently, the average number of words of a long session is 9,29 *,772. As I have sold to subscribers that number of words I for six dollars, it follows that they have paid less than six and one-half cents forevery 10'*,”0(! 1 word I have furnished them, while I have paid imy reporters C> 29 for every 2,397 words, of j this work, in manuscript? Has any other book- ' seller, anywhere, ever sold a book in the first i instance, while it was new, at so low a rate? I . believe not; and so strong is my belief that I I hereby agree to give to any person who shall ' prove the contrary a complete set of the debates i running back to 1833. making forty-three i quarto volumes, which sell for $5 a volume. An j act. of Congress authorizes these papers to go by i mail free of postage. The next session will be, - without doubt, an unusual interesting one; as it 'will be the first under a new administration, i and several complex questions must be discusI sed in it —for example, the currency,Kansas,revenue. and other questions. The Globe will be ' as heretofore, the only source from which full dej bates can be obtained. terms: For a copy of the Daily Globe one year, $lO 00 “ “ “ six months. 5 o'l “ “during the session 5 U 0 For a copy of Congressional Globe an Appendix, and the laws passed during the session, 6 00 I Bank notes, current in the section of thecounI try where a subscriber resides, will be received !at par.

Prospectus for 1858. KMKJ SATURDAY EVENING POST, ESTABLISHED AVGUST 4, 1821. The Paper that Never Suspends. A FAMILY WEEKLY. DEVOTED TO LITERATURE A NEWS. In these times of Bank suspensions and Mercantile suspensions the proprietors of the Sa turdav Evening Post call the attention of the ±g public to their old and firmly established weekly paper, as the paper that never suspends.

Its proprietors therefore point to the past as an unfading index of the future And they feel that in asking of the reading public a continuance of the patronage heretofore so liberally bestowed upon The Post they are asking no more than what it will be both the interest and the pleasure oftha. pub. lie to grant, , _ , Among the contributors tothe Post, we may mention the following gifted writers: M llliara Howitt. Allice Carev, T.B. Authur Grace Greenwood, Anna Blackwell, Augustine Du--anne, Mrs. M. A. Denison, Emma Allicc Browne, the author of “An Extra-Judicial Statement,” the author of “Zillah, the Child Medium,” Ac. NOVELET, BY T. S. ARTHURMr Krthur’s productions are so widely known, that we need hardly say C nt the tone of the present novelet will be consistent with the Mo rnl and instinctive character which wehi’vealwavs striven to impress upon the Post. Renders who wish to peruse the flash stories which abound in the land—pernicious and destruc tive in their tendency and effects —can find them, we regret say, at every corner. But t lie Post will still maintain its high character, as a paper which the most scrupulous parent mav allow freely to enter THE FAMILY CIRCLE: And which will purify and and instruct, instead ofdemor lizing and corrupting the youthful mind. Especially will its conductors avoid, in the publication of the weokly news, all those long and disgusting reports —unfortunately now so common —of VILE CRIMINAL CASKS; Believing, as they do, that the practice of publishing rhe details ol such loathsome cases, and criminal trials resulting therefrom, is a fruitful causeofthe recent alarming increase of vice and crime in the community.

ms. Il is the intention of the Proprietors of the Sentinel to make it in all respects a newspaper worthy the support ofthe Democracy of Indiana. And in the proportion its circulation is increased and its advertising patronage enlarged will be our ability to add to its interest. Having no local Agents, we depend entirely upon the efforts of our political friends to extend its circulation. In no cheaper or more effectual way can political intellence be circulated, zeal excited and party organization preserved than through the medium ofthe press All then, who are. desirious of the succes of Democratic principles and policy, can serve thecause in no better wav than in extending the circulation of the political organs of the partv. Tlie year, upon which we have entered, will doubtless be one of important events- Upon all matters of public interest we shall give full and reliable intelligence.

The Sentinel will be governed in its political course by the anthoratively expressed sentiments ofthe partv.
