BAND IN HAND-
Down on the shining, golden beach,
Watching the billows kiss the strand,
Chasing the waves that mock our reach,
Lottie and I go hand in hand.
Summer or Winter, what care I ?
Down by ibe sea,
Happy are we,
For hand in hand go Lottie and I
Lottie is twelve, r.nd I am—more-
Pshaw ! I'll out with it like a man
1 am twenty—an honest score,
If it comes to that ; but "win who can,"
That's my motto—so what care I ?
Down by the sea,
Hippy are we,
For band in hand go Lottie and I ?
S'ie will have plenty of lovers yet,
What with her sweet and winsome way,
Her checks like pink's, and her eyes
like jet,
Wont she dazzle them all some day ?
Wout yon Lottie ? But what care I ?
Down by the sea,
Happy are we,
For hand in hacd go Lottie and I?
1 have a spell that they wot n jt of—
The careless lovers, and when they come,
Prating, may be, of their tardy love,
i have a word that wilt strike them dumb,
"First come, first scried,''—so \\ hat care I,
Down by the sea,
* Happy are we,
For band in band go Lottie and I.
Yes, hand.in hand and I mean to hold
That little hand, till it clings to my uiine
With a clasp that only death, the bold—
And not even he—can quite untwine !
No. not even he—so what cire 1 ?
Down by the sea,
Happy arc we,
For band in hand in hand go Lottie and I.
In Time of War-
(Concluded.)
It was .1 bright afternoon in July,
and Nellie, taking Claire for a com
paniori, strolled down to a grove near
the house, to let the child sail a tiny
boat on a mimic lake there. It was
a spot endeared to hex by many
scenes with her husband. They had
often passed whole evenings there,
Kitting or strolling in the moonlight,
chattiug or silent, as their mood vari-
ed, but, as Nellie now bittbrly recall-
ed, always loving, kind. After they
left the house, Mrs. Hart drew forth
from her pockct a letter, received that
morning, which she had uot dared to
open in Nellie** presence. It was
directed, in a strange hand to her, and
post-marked Point Isabel. If all was
well, certainly Clarence would have
written to his wife, and the mother
carefully concealed the letter until she
could open it rjone. Alas! her fears
were realized. There had been a
great battle—Palo Alto—aud Captain
Wihle was dangerously wounded in
ike lungs. Mrs. Hart shuddered with
dread as the task of imparting this
information to Nellie rose before her.
Slowly, she left the house, and walked
down to the grove. Long before she
was near enough to speak, she could
see Nellie and Claire under the trees.
Her step grew slower, as she came
towards them, till, heart-sick with
tier task, she leaned against a tree,
looking at Iter child, who, all uncon-
scious of her great sorrow, was talk-
to Jlairo. The boy's, face was raised
to Nellie's, as, with a low, sweet voice,
she told him of his absent father,
painting to the eager, listening Claire
the dangers of war and his father's
bravery and gallantry.
"When will he come home, mamma?
asked Claire.
" I cannot tell, Claire."
" Show me my pretty papa."
Nellie drew from her bosom the
miniature which Claire called his
•'pretty papa."
■' I wish he'd come home! " said
Claire again. " I'm afraid the nasty
soldiers will kill my pretty papa."
Nellie raised her eyes in silent
prayer, and then she saw her mother.
" A letter! Give it to me! Quick!
quick! "
"Nellie dear, first let me tell you-"
4 He is not dead! "
" No, my child, but—"
Madam - Myfriend «W eomradé,
Captaia WilSe, desired me to write
to you. In yesterday's battle he tell,
severely, we fefrdangeroasly wound-
ed, by a bayonet thrust through the
lungs. He is in-thehospital, unable
to write, but trusts to you to commu-
nicate the intelligence to Mrs. Wilde,
I remain, madam,
Most respectfully y«W
Jos bp H HA«VKY.
Mrs. C. J. Hart:
Palo Alto, May 9*4,1846.
Nellie read eveiy word. She did
not faint, though her face grew white
as marble, and a cold chill gathered
near he* heart. * '
" I am going to my husband," die
said, in a calm clear voice, as die
returned the letter.
"Going to Mexico.' No. no! I
cannot let you!'' cried Mrs* Hart.
"I must go. Come.'' And she moved
for the house. ' She took but á few
steps, and then fell upon the, grass.
All the forced calmness gave way,
and she sobbed so violently and long
that Mrs. Hart was .alarmed. Yet,
this paroxyBtn orér, she persisted in
her fust intention.
In vain her mother begged her
to desist from her preparations for
departure* she remained firm in her
resolve ; and,* leaving Claire with her
mother, she sailed from New York a
few weeks after the news reached her
of her husband*# danger. There
were other ladies, officer's wives, in
the vessel; and, when. Nellie's. Bad
errand was known,-much sympathy
was shown, and many little attentions
paid her. She looked so fair and so
frail to start upon that long voyage to
a country where war was raging, and
the terror lest she should reach Mexi-
co only to find herself a widow, kept
her lovely face tonchingly sad and
pale. Mr?. Colton, the wife of the
captain of the vessel, who had her-
self two sons in the war, was very
kind to Nellie, and when the vessel
arrived at her destined port, she offer-
ed to accompany her on her search,
pleading a desiró to see ber own
" boys " as an excuse to cover the
kindest intentions towards the sad
sufferer. Ill rough the long voyage
Nellie had been calm and quiet; but
now that certainty was so near, the
trembling frame, flushed cheek, and
uervous, hurried manner, all betrayed
the torturing suspense.
The troops landed, aud N«>llie and
Mrs. Colton, comfortably petched up-
on bags of provisions, in a baggage
wagon, drove slowly after them to-
wards the interior.
After all lur travel, Nellie stood at
list with her kind friend at the door of
the large church where, making it a
temporary hospital, the wounded from
Palo Alto still lay. Months had
passed ! Was"Clarence there? Nellie
went in with such a faltering step
and pallid face that: Mrs. Colton,
thinking she was fainting, made the
inquiries herself. . ■ :
Captain Wild ,, discharged after
several weeks' illness, had left the
hospital and joined his regiment.
"Where is he noiY 1 "
" I cannot tell. My post is here."
" But he is well ? "
" O yes, the wound was not so
dangerous as was supposed.'*
" We must find l$m."
" Stop, Mrs. Wilde!" said Mrs.
Colton, "you can do-nothing to-night;
sit down. There! I knew she would
faint!"
But Nellie did not faint! She saw
that nothing further could be done
then, and> after one glad, silent prayer
of thanksgiving, she turned to Mrs.
Colton.
" There are others Lere needing
assistance as mncl^ac my poor hus-
baud did. Cannot we be of' some
us*?" 4
"We are very short of nurses,
that's a fact, " said the man, who
acted as porter; ''but I guess you
will do for a hospital nurse."
" Let mo do something," said
Nellie, imploringly. "I cannot ait
here and think. To-morrow, I will
find my husband."
But many to-morrows passed, and
found them still in that old church;
and many a hard soldier blessed the
soft hand, sweet voice, and tender
care that replaced the often careless
treatment ot the hired nurse.
At last, Nellio heard of Clarence.
He was at Monterey, again wounded s
and Nellie, finding travel difficult,
and her position a painful one, took
leave of Mrs. Colton, who was obliged
to return to her husband, and joined
a regiment as a sutler-woman, in place
of ono left ill at the hospital.
Marchings over a new country,
heart-sick and weary, Nellie still
bore up bravely, in the hope of seeing
her husband. Que day, weary and
disheartened, she was leaning against
a tree crying bitterly when some one
touched her on the shoulder.
" What's the trouble, my girl ?
She looked up.
" Captain Harvey!"
" Mrs. Wilds—Nellie—Hart how
did you come here, and in this dress ?
" Oh Captain ; Harvey; where is
j y husband ?"
" At home, I hope."
"What do you mean ? This is no
time for jesting."
" Nor do I jest. Clarence lost an
arm at Monterey, and sailed frpm
here for New York nearly three
weeks ago. Come! do not look so
white. A lame husband at home is
better than a dead oue here."
" At home ! Oh what shall I do ?"
"Why, you had better come with
me. Mrs. Harvey is with me, and will
decide what is best for you. "
Nellie followed him mechanically
fo % tent, where Mrs, Harvey con-
ducted the camp housekeeping. There
the overtasked frame gave wj y, and
she sank down fainting. For many
days she lay very ill, and then came
back to consciousness to find herself
in a private room in an hospital. It
was no unkindness that left her thus
lonely. Captain Harvey's duties
called him forward, and his wife had
no choiee but to follow him. Return-
ing health came slowly, and, finding
there was no vessel bound for home
for several weeks, Nellie quietly re-
sumed her own hospital cares. Like
some angel visitant, that fair face
bent over the sufferers, often increas-
ed now by battles on all sides, many
earned, long miles to die on their
arrival at a place of rest, many deliri-
ous with pain, many swearing and
cursing till she turned faint with
horror. Up and down the long aisles,
from one bed to another she passed,
keeping up her own strength with
the comforting thought of her hus-
band's safety at home.
"We shall be loth to ¡ose you,"
said one of the physicians, taking
her aside, one morning, "for yon have
the steadiest nerves I ever saw in
such a fragile frame. Cau you assist
me now ? and your reward shall be a
piece of good news."
Accustomed to tho sight of blood
by frequent contact, Nellie's ready,
skilful fingers were at his service for
a long, tedious operation ; and pilrnt
blessings were showered upon her
head by the snfferer, who manfulb
crushing back every groan of pain,
felt his heart swell almost to bursting,
as her low voice whispered comfort
in his ear, and her hand wiped away
the drops ot perspiration from his
face.
" That is over, " said the doctor,
as she gently laid the soldier'a head
on tho pillow. "Now for the news."
" Yes, tell me now. "
" A homeward-bound vessel leaves
Point isable next week, and you can
join the disabled soldiers who go from
here to-morrow. May God reward
you for the good you have dont
here," the doctor added, solemnly,
" and bring you safely to your hus-
band. "
In the parlor of Mi's. Hart's house
on the Hudson, early in the year
1847, were collected a group of our
old Mends. 'First, seated on the sofa,
was Captain Wilde, his oue arm round
Claire, who asked now as constantly
for " mamma " as he had before done
for " papa." Mrs. Hart sat opposite,
Sewing; and, on another sofa, sat
Cora, now Mrs. Henry Russell, and
her husband.
" One more day," said Cora.
" Nellie will surely be here to-inor-
row."
" She will hardly come to-oiglit.
The vessel ai rived to-day. Oh, if I
could only meet her!" said tho Cap-
tain, who, still ill from the effects of
two wounds, had been with much
difficulty dissuaded from going to
New York to meet Nellie. "
There was a light step in the hall
and up the stairs, but nobody heard
it. A moment later. Cora left the
room to look at her littlo girl, who
slept in a room overhead. As she
opened the door, one cry oscaped her,
but she suppressed it and went in.
" Oh, " cried Captain Wilde, " I
feel as if I could not wait another
night before seeing Nellie."
"Ladies and gentlemen," cried
Cora from the door, "allow mo to
introduce-*- O pshaw, she's gone! "
A figure glided by her towards
tho Captain, and Nellie was in her
husband's arms.

THE HOUSTON
Navigation Company,
having consolidated their Sfoek'with'the
TEXAS NAVIGATION COMPANY,
and having now the command of a number
of Steamboats, Barges and Tigs, is pre-
pared to afford the most ample means of
Transportation from Galveston Bay to the
City of Houston. This Company offers
every inducement to Shippers to adopt
their line, from the Tact that they avoid
on all Direct Freight from New York and
other Eastern Cities, all charges at Gal-
veston for wharfage, receiving and for-
warding, or for advancing on freights by
thcir line, and there are ne charges for
receiving and forwarding freights sent
them by vessels not in their line, whether
from New Orleans or elsewhere. Freight
intended for the interior ot Texas, upon
arrrival at Houston, is forwarded to the
consignees on the line of these roads with-
out incurring any charges at Houston to
the Rail Road Depots.
Where shipments are. made from New
Y<;rk by their vessels to Houston, there is
but a slight excess of chargewer the price
of freight from New York to Galveston,
and all charges at Galveston are avoided,
the goods being delivered at Houston on
our bill of ladiug and freight.
ThiB Company liai ing invested a large
and sufficient amount of capital iu this
euterprize to meet all the demands of this
trade, are prepared and i'efc rtnined to
make it an entire saecess, by offering in-
ducements to the whole interior trade of
lie State.
This Company is prepared to take Cot-
ton at the city of Houston by this line aud
whether intended for Gal vest o :i or else-
where, to save the shipper at least 33 per
cent, of eosts of shipments by aiiy other
mode.
There will be no charge upon or deten-
tion of Cotton coming over any of the
Hail Roads to Houston, except dray age—
it will be promptly transferred from the-
road to their boats and barges.
They ask your patronage for the
" Houston Direct Navigation Com-
pany," and pledge their individual repu-
tation to afford satisfaction to the public.
Al! consignments will be mitde to
" Houston Direct Navigation Com-
pany," Houston or Galveston, and all just
claims for loss or damage, promptly settled.
