Till? PLAYMATE, r johx g. lAxe. The pines were dark on Ramoth hill, Their song was soft nd low ; The blossoms in the awe t Maj wind Were falling like the snow. The blossoms drifted at our feet. The orchard birds sang clear ; The sweetest and the suddes. day It seemed of all the year. For, more to me than birds or flowers, Mr playmate lett her home, And took with her the laughing Spring, The music and the bloom. he Vi sed the lip) of kith and kin, She laid her baud in mine ; Vhat more could ask the bashful boy Who fed her father' kinc? She lft us in the bloom of May ; The constant yejrs told o'er The seasor.s with as swwt Maj morn.-i, But she came back no more. I walk, with noiseless feet, the round Of uneventful years ; Still o'er and o'ei 1 $ow the spring And reap the autumn ears. ?he lives where all the golden year Her .Ummer roses blow ; The dus-ty child, en of the sun Betöre her come aud go. There happily with her jeweled hands She smoothes her silken gown, No more tho hoinespun law whereiu I shook the walnuts down. The wild grapes wait us by the brook. The brown nuts on the hill. And tili Üic May -day Howera make sweet The woods of Follyuiili. The lilies blossom in the pond. The bird builds in the tree, The dark pines sinj; on Ramoth hill The slov song of the sea. I wonder if she thiuks of them. And how the old tune seems,If ever the pines of Ram th wojd Are souadirg in lur dreams. I see her face, I hear her voice. Doe." khc rumember mine? And what to her is now the boy That fed herfaher's kine? Whit cares she that the orioles build Kor other eye than oitr-t. That other hinds with nut are filUd, And other lajs w ith tlowcri ? O playmate in the golden time ! Our mossy seat is green, its fringing violets b!o-wmi yet, The old trees o'er it lean. The wines so weet with birch and fern A sweeter memory blow ; And there is spring the iucries sing The song ol long ago. And still the pin s of Ra-noth wood Are moaning like the sea, The moairng of the ,ea of change Between mvself an, t ee ! Bohemian upcrttttion. On this curious subject we find a highly amusing article by Raron Ernout, in the Revue Cuntemporaiue.' According to the Bohemian creed, the festival of the Vir gin Mary used to be held sacred even by animals; and birds, for instance, took particular pains not to work t their nests on those days. The cuckoo having infringed that custom, was cursed. Rod obliged to wander perpetually without ever having a neat of its own. The following Pagan custom lias survived in Bohemia in some localities of the circle of Bud weis: When a marriage takes place dining carnival time, r cock is sacrificed with great criemony. The victim ii selete I and fattened with the utmost care at least a fortnight beforehand. On the day prescribed for the sacrifice, the cock is subjected to a regular criminal trial; they drss it up in a pxir of tiouseis, a grey mantel, and a red cap; two of the persons present r.re the prosecutors; a third, with a big book in hi hand, plays the part of a judge, and pronou:ce sentence on the culprit, amid the applause of the b) slanders. The cock is then cariied in great pomp, preceded by music, to the public Square, where a plat form has been erected, with hi executioner by hi side, dressed in red, with his cutlass in his hand. Before the execution, all the bystanders solemnly ask the cock's pardon; then the exscutioaer perform LU office; the dead body of the victim is cat lied home professionally, its head is given to the two accusers, and the rest is roasted and eaten. Another similar custom is observed in the village of Chebsek, where, on Shrove Tuesday, the young girls of the place gvi up before daybreak, go and sit, distaff io hand, upon a dogkennel, and there spin for a few minutes. thinking thereby to secure to themselves a good year's work. In order to render this ceremony fully efficacious, it is absolutely requisite that it should be performed in that peculiar costume under which painters represent Mother Eve; night, however. fortunately casti a discreet veil over the cine. A good story is told of a Quaker vol unteer, who was in Virginia skirmishing Coming ta pretty close quarters with a rebel, he remarked, Friend, it's unfortu t natrf, but thee stands just where I am going to shoot, and blazing away down comes secesh. A good story is told of a hard -she! missionary in Medina, who had become mixed up in land speculation in Minr.eso ta. On entering hie pulpit, recently, he announced tohi congregation that his text might be found in St. Paul's epistln to the Minnesotiant, section 4, range 3, west.

Questions for the AbolitlonUt. In his well known pamphlet entitled 'Conscience and the Constitution,' with remarks on ihe speech of Hon. Daniel Webster in the United States Senate on the subject of slavery, the late Prof. Stewart, of Andover. asks the abolitionists some hard questions which it is high time they were prepared to answer. He said: What ehall we do? It is a fair question, j and I would to God I could answer it, to my own or your satisfaction. It is immeasurably the most difficult problem ever before this great nation. Universal and immediate emancipation would be little short of insanity. The blacks themselves would be the first and most miserable vie tiras. S;ealing, robbery, rapine, and other evils would inevitably follow in the train liberation, aud thousands of ignorant and starving men would seek their sustenance in preying upon their former master- and upon the community. They could not all bi hired at the prices which they would demand. I am, I think, pretty fully aware of the great difficulties that lie in the way. Suppose the black population were made fee; then what is to be done with them after this, especially iu those States where they are more numerous than whites; how are they to live and prosper? They have no money to buy land; and if they could buy it, or have it given to them, most of them are too ignorant or shiftless, and adverse to labor, to manage land wiih any success. Few of them are artificers; and but few 6uch could find employ ment. What, then, I ask the Abolitionists, (and I insist upon s jme plain and direct answer) what i. to be done wish such a population? If you say: 'Let their masteis pay them for past labor, and furnish them with means of living;' I ask again: How long would these wages (more or les) lr.st them? A a body, they would never do any more wotk, uuii this sun was expended. Then what next? Their masters have been, in the cases supposed already impoverished by dividing among them their property. Thee cannot, with their habits, carry on plantations at the expense ot hired labor. It would reduce them speedily to absolute poverty. And then, what is the next step, either lor them or the free blacks? I insist upon it, now, that the Abolitionists shall give a sober, rational, practical an swer to these questions. This would be worth ten thousand times more than all their outcries about the fciu of bondage,

and their demands of immediate and uni versal emancipation. In auch a great movement, where the very frame work of the Government and the State is tu be taken to pieces and receive a new shape, there must be a foresight an 1 caution and prudence. One would be apt to think when he hears the cltmor for the negroes on all sides, that the rights and int -tests of the white pop alalion are matters of little or no consideration or importance. But this must not be so. At all events, if thin movement should be successful, and the blacks be all liberated at ouce it will not be lonjr before the fair provinces of the South would be a desolate waste; and the blacks would be? bv far the greatest sufferers. Gradual freedom is the only possible practical measure. Three million of people cannot be disposed of and provided for, by an Aboli . . - 1 . I 1 uon uiainue arm a.cree on paper, in a Northern closet, we can eit down and coolly legislate for the South on matters that must tear in pieces the very Irame work of their society. We are not affected by any of their proposed measures, and then we coolly wonder why they an so concerned about them. Is this prudence, is it jnstice, is it kindness, is it loving our neighbor as ourself. Warlike Preparation in Canada Continue with great activity. The To roir.o Globe, of Monday, has its usual col umn or miliary announcements. On Saturday evening last, a movement to in augurate a Toronto Mechanic's Corps, l.OOU strong, was initiated with much spirit. The Globe says: The work on the fortifications now in progress at tho garrison is being pushed m forward with the greatest dispatch. Al ready three of the large guns have been mounted, and three more will be placed in position to day. It is reported that several large guns are at present on their way here from Quebec. A strong picket fence to encucle both the old and new forts is now in centres of construction No one is allowed to approach the wor and any person wishing to visit the gar rison must be provided with a 'pass td m, ....... o ed by the 1 ost Adjutant. It is stated that between two and three thousand of ihe forces ordered from England will be sfa tioned at Toronto, and every place suitable for barracks will be taken by the military authorities for that purpose. There is also a rumor that tents for the accommodation of two thousand soldiers will be fitted up during the present winter. The camp will be between the old and new forts.

A Singular Incident. The Lynchburg Republican of the 26th ult. publishes the following incident, remarkable alike for its singularity as well as for its melancholy fulfillment to the brother of one of the parlies concerned: Just before the war broke out, and before Lincoln's proclamation was issued, a young Virginian named Suramerfield was visiting the city of New York, where he made the acquaintance of two Misses Holmes, from Waterbury, Vt. Vie beeame somewhat intimate with tha young ladies, and the intercourse seemed to be mutually agreeable. The proclamation was issued, and the whole North waa thrown into a blaze of excitement. Upon visiting the ladies one evening, and at the hour of parting they remarked to. Summerfield that their present meeting would probably be the last; they must hurry home to aid in making up the overcoats and clothing for the volunteers from their town. Summerfield expressed his regret that they must leave, but at the same time especially requesting them to ee that the overcoats were well made, as it was his intention, if he ever met a Vermont regiment in battle, to kill one of them and tako his coat. Now for the sequel: Virginia seceded. The 2d Vermont regiment, a portion of which was from the town of Waterbury, was sent to Virginia. The battle of Manassas was fought, in which they were engaged, and so was Suaimerfi.'ld. During the battle S- marked his man, not knowing to what State he belonged; the fatal ball sped on its errand of death; the victim foil at the flash of the gun, and upon rushing up to secure the dead man's arms, Summertield observed that he had a fine new overcoat strapped to his back, which he determined to appropriate to his own U6e. The fight was over, and Summerfield had time to examine his prize, when, remarkable as it may appear, the coat was marked in tho lining with the name of Thomas Holmes,

and in tho pockets were found letters, signed with the names of the sisters whom Summerfield had known in New York, and to whom he had made the remark we lave quoted, in which the man was ad dressed as brother. The evidence was conclusive he had killed the brother of lis friends, and the remark he had made in jest had a melancholy fulfillment. We art assured this narrative is literally true. Summerfield now wears the coat, and, our informant states, is not a little impressed with the singularity of the coincidence. M hat's the Mutter f A RECANTATION. James Redpath, formerly the Kansas correspondent of the New York Tribune and St. Louis Democrat, and a man known as belonging tu ihe most progressive school of Abolition philosophers a man who has ben charged with having done as much as almost any other to foment discord between the different States of the Union now conies out in a public acknowledgment of past errors, repudiating the mischievous doctiine disseminated in former days. and announces his retirement as a politi cal editor until such time as he shall have attained a clearer and more human and Christian view of the duties of the free man to the enslaved. Here is Mr. Redpath's card, published in the Pine and Palm, a newspaper devoted to the promo tion of Ilaytian oolonization: A Preparatory Word. -Having become smcereiy convinced that many of the poli tical doctrines that I have advocated in my writings are dangerous and abhorrent to the higher insight; the murderous policy, for example, of inciting the slave to insurrection; which I have urged re peatedly and with terribly mistaken zeal I wish to announce here that I shall retire from any participation in the political man agement of this journal, excepting for the purpose of retracting past 'Tors, until auch time as 1 feel that I have attained a clearer and more human and Christian view of the duties of the freeman to the enslaved. 'I shall confine myself exclusively to the editing of tho outside pages of the paper. Tho name of the acting editor will be duly announced. The arlieles signed with an asterisk () were mine; of these I will retract many; my associates who indicate their respective writings by the initial l, and by the marks . and . are alone responsible for their tl oughts thus labelled. repudiate my war doctrines utterly aud forever, James I'supath.' By six qualities msy a fool be known anger without cause, speech without profit, change without motive, inquiry without an object, pulling trust in a stranger, and wanting capacity to dislinguish a friend from a fe. Jones has discovered the respective natures oT a distinction and a difference. He says that a little difference frequently makes many enemies, while a litilo tlisUnction at:ract8 hosts of friends to the one on whom it i conferred.

The Wnlloii-JcilVrd Jlurdcr. The evidence on the trial of Charles Je Herds for tke murder in New York is startling. The detective commissioned to watch JetTerds, and who was his constant companion for weeks previous to his last arrest, testifies that Jeflerds fully confessed to him that he shot bcth Walton and Mathews, and detailed all the particulars of the crime. He goes further, and Bays that Jefferds not onlv boasted of bavin" shot John Walton for a consideration of S2.000 to be paid by his mother, but that for 810,000 more, promised by that lady, he was ready to perform the same amiable office for Mr. Wm. T. Walton. Tie even proposed to the detective to be his accomplice in this murder, promising him 85,000 for 1:1 sharp; and went so far as to draw his pistol on Wm. Walton early in the evening, in his own office, where he would have shot him if he had not been prevented. Then, as tho testimony goes, this professional assassin concluded not to shoot Walton for the present; but, as he considered his mother rather poor pay she not having liquidated her liabilities for the first murder h offered to transfer his securities to Wm. Walton, and give certain desirable testimony on the settlement of John Walton's estate for the bagatelle of $ 1 0,000 cash down. Becoming familiar, he next, in the detective's presence, disclosed to Walton how he shot his brother, and Capt. Thome, of the Fourth Ward police, happening to be under the window just at that lime, heard his avowal that he had committed the murder. The confession is thu established by three witnesses. It remains to bo seen what tho defense will offer to rebut these remarkable disclosures. Mrs. Walton's testi mony for tho defense, taken on Saturday, was: listened to with breathless interest by a room filled with ladies and gentlemen. She denied all the allegations brought against her. Her appearance is described as lady like and prepossessing. The prisoner is described as perfectly assured, and even defiant.

Too Cxood to Keep. There are many amusing jokes that happen in an array of twenty or thirty thousand men, and some are rich and spicy. V have one that is loo good to keep on General Ruins, or 'Mr. Rains,' as most of his men style him, who by tho way, is one of the most free and independen' officers in the army, aud can enjoy a good joke with the gayest of the gay. It seems that some of his men were joked as being the 'Blackberry Cavalry last summet; while Gen. Harris men wero styled the 'Hazelnut Charger;' Gen. Parsons men the 'Hickorynut Crackers;' Gen. Steens' men the 'Turnip Skinners,' and General Clark's men being particularly fond of 'Mud Larks,' alias swine. It 60 happened, on the march from Lexington, that Gen. Clark's command encamped :n a pasture adjicent to General Rains residence, and, as usual, a squad repaired to the hous to purchase whatever edibles could be obtained, ignorant, however, of whose premises they were ap proaching. Th ey were kindly and courteously re ceiveJ by Mrs. R., and 'without money and without price,' loaded with whatever she could contribute to their sustenance or eomfort. While about taking their departure, Mrs. R. told them to partake of anything on the place they needed, but to pleas? not burn any rails. You need not fear on that score,' said the grateful Orderly, doffing the remains of what was once a respectable 'Kossuth 'We belong to Gen. Clark's division: but look out for Rains' men, who are behind. If they camp here they will steal all your chickens and burn all your rails, and will not pay you even in script for them!' This was too good a joke for Mrs. It. on her husband, and she lauhinirlv informed the young man that he was then encamped on Gen. Rains' farm, and upon the arrival of his forces she could manage to curb ihe chicken loving propensities of his unruly rebels. - I wish I could see your great feat, said a lady to a gentleman who had a hazardous adventure in the Mammoth Cave. There they are madam, said he extending his pedal extremities. A sleepy deacon, who sometimes engaged in popular games, hearing tho minister use the wordw: 'shuffle off this mortal coil,' started up, rubbed his eyes aud exclaimed : 'Hold on! it's my deal 1' In a recent case, wbero one of tho New York Regiments took tho fenco rails be longing to a loyal Virginian woman to use for firewood. Gen. Wadsworth issued an order requiring tho regiment to go into the wood, cut new rails aud rebuild the fence destroyed. They mean to raiso tall students out in Wisconsin. An exchange papesr aye. It's board of education has resolved to eruct a building largo enough to accommodate 600 students three stori;s higrh.

L,alc from For! Eloynl The Sink' ing or the Stone Fleet. Correspondence of the New York World. Port Royal, Dec. 21. A part of the mission of the stone fleet has been performed, and successfully. Sixteen of the hulks with their heavv cargoes are sunk in the entrance to Charleston ha: bor in such a manner that the port is effectually and perhaps forever blockaded against any craft that can be available for any extended commercial purpose. The effectof this movement upon the sentiment of South Caiolinians. as I learn from negroes who occasionally arrive, in a great

degree of a desirable nature. Most are' really desponding of their cause, and many are ready to give it up and submit to tho Federal authority. They have realized in the burning of a large portion of their citV what the V fear will h( thp fatP nf th city wnat tney icar win be the late ot the, remainder before many more weeks pass. Others, however. r 1, mad, more desperate, and it is evident that they can ; only be cured of their lunacy when our troops meet them. Tybee Island was yesterday reinforced ! by seven companies of Col. Terry's regiment, the Seventh Connectisut. A large amount of stores for the commissary and military departments, consisting mostly of provisions and ammunition, was also sent down by the transport Marion, in charge of Gen. Wright and half a dozen members vi mo ouiii. x ivtiuua iu ins aruvni 111; re were only G00 men on tho Island, ut. supplied with any mounted ordinance with which to defend the place if attacked. Their condition was certainly precarious; but the etemy, like some of the Federal r nr t : i.: .1 Generals, did not improve the best oppor - tunity to strike. The Marion dropped anchor near the lighthouse, anil commenced to discharge the cargo, when Fort Pulaski commenced a brisk lire in her direction. The guns appeared to bo badly handled, as only one shell burst in the vicinity, and it distributed its pieces with strict reference to everybody's safety. Gen. Stevens' brigade is still encamped at Beaufort. His force is increased by the Seventy-sixth Pennsylvania Regiment and part of the Forty -fifth from the same State. Active preparations are in progress for an onward movement, and General Stevens is expected, in a few days, to make a dash at the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, and seize a favorable position for occupa tion and intrenchment, thus cutting off all 11 communication by rail between the two .ties. The movement will doubtless be cities accomplished by the time this letter arrives at New York. The earthworks for the defence of Hilton Head are rapidly approaching completion. Some three miles back from the fort, they extend across tho entire breadth of the island, and already present a most formidable appearance. One hundred heavy pieces of cannon will be mounted alon the lino in such a manner as to command the entire country about the works. The intention of sending out a new expedition, under Ge.i. Viele, has been abandoned. Possibly the idea may be revived within a month. It is said that an unfortunate disagreement exists between Commodoro Dtipontand Gen. Sherman, and that is the reason General Viele'a expedition was given up. Ttic 'Turn' In the I.ant.' The Louisville correspondent of the Chicago Times uets off the following: Something unique iu the rn&tter of 'taking the oath' came to my ears the other day. It may not be more authentic than the story ol the spy related above; yet as it possesses, like ihe 6py stoiy, merit independent of authenticity, I'll e'en give it to you. Immediately after lhe bombardment of Fort Sumter, there wero (eo runs the story) some fifteen or twenty mHii in and near Franklin, Indiana, who were rather Southern in their feelings did not keep pace with the general public indignation. They were regarded as men of doubtful loyalty, and their neighbors having gathered in strong force, armed to enforce the demand, required them to take the oath of allegiance. There was no loom for dodging and they swore to support the Constitution. 'Time rolled on.' Fremont was removed from his hih commaud, and somo of the very patrijta who had thus administered tho oath to the 'Southern sympathizers' grew obstreperous. They declared they would seize their guns, repair to Washington, and depose Old Abe. 'Now's our time,' eaid the Bemi secesh; and, suiting the action to tho word, they armed themselves with shot runs and riflts, and, having 'aurrounded' a number of tho excited Fre monters. they made them 'take the oath.' If this is all true, Franklin must be an 'oath-bound community.' A Kentucky correspondent of tho Valley Farmer advocates a more extensive cultivation of winter barley. He thinks it more profitable than wheat.

How lloobicr Travel. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette giving an account of the exp-dition

to Accomac, of which our 21st Ksgiment ! formed a part, relates the following auec-1 dote of the way the Iloosiera traveled: j We left Oak Hall in the evening and i , , . ., . , . ( marched some six miles before camping. riii t, rf . . , , , . v . Ihe Zoo-Zoos were in the lead, aud haing! ... . . . , f j marched in pretty quick time, they took up an idea they were 'putting the 'Hoosiors through' an idea that seemed to ! tickle them amazingly. The next day. however, wo were in the lead, and concluded to give our red brethren a taste of floosier traveling. WTe marched fifteen miles in five hours, through sand shoe mouth deep, and stopped for dinner a short distance this side of Drummondtown. The Zoo-Zoos were strunjr aloncr , , .. lhe roaJ or tWQ miIeg anJ came straggling in, crest-fallen and disgusted, - o j (or ha,f 0 march their surgeon rode up and begged Colonel McMillen for God's sake to halt, ,1 , , , 1, . . saying that his men could not possib.y Stand it. iivn. Scott and Lad v. The Fans correspondent of tha New York World says, in mentioning the reception given by Gen. Scott at Paris: Mrs. Scott, the venerable wife of the fiPnorfll wliA lirfil luo orrirol horo boil ... - . . not seen him in five or six years, assisted at the reception. It is probably known thnt Gen. Scott and his wife, On account of , , Ii, , ,. a mutually acknowledged incompatibility J n of temper, have not lived in the marital - ...1.. ...o ... . Ill ..v.1 nuu relation for hi teen years and more. Mrs. ' Scott has always, however, manifested a reat degree of interest in all !ier husband's movements, and they have always kept up an occasional correspondence. Upon his arrival here, Mis. Scott hastened to meet the Gener.il, and will, I learn, accompany him to Italy' whither he will go to spend the winter, in the course cf a week or two. He thinks the voyage has very much improved his health; says his vertigo is all gone, although he is ftill troubled with tho weakness in the back ; and legs. An Irishmen emnloved on a farm was told by the farmer that one of his duties would be to feed tho chickens. This he did daily; but he observed, with much concern, that when he gave them their com meal pudding, an old drake that was r among me hock suoveieu u in wun ins broad bill much faster :han ll" chickens could do. At last an idea struck him. One evening, as usual, while Pat was distributing pudding to his fowls he com menccd soloquizing in the following manner : 'Arrah bo J an' here ye are agen, ye d d spoonbill quadruped; ye lay under the barn all day, and when I eay chi-ky, chi-ky, be St. Paterick, yo are the first one here, an' bejabers ye pick up three motithfulls all in one; an' now bo jabers and I'll fix ye for that, an' so I will. Sure enough, Pat toll'd the drako close up to him; made a grab and nabbed him. 'An it's welcome ye are, bhi9t yer ugly picther; when I'm done ye'll not pick up more ner yer share.' With that Pat got out his knife and trimmed the drakes bill aff sharp and 6lim, like a chicken's, and then exultingly threw him down, saying : 'Now be jnbers, ye can pick up tho feed Mon side of that bob-tail rooster !' It is said that it is quite right for Gen. McClellan to wait till winter before he moves, because that is just the time for slaying. That's very singular, said a young lady to a gentleman who had just kissed her. Oh well, my dear m'ss, I will soon make it plural. An exchange gives the subsfanco of a verdict of a recent coronet's jury on a man who died in a stato of inebriation: Death for hanging round a rumshop. Many writeis profess to teach people how to live. Culpiits ou the scaffold would like to learn. Mister, I owe you a grudge, remember that.
