LOSSING'S PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, 12mo. Price $2. A series of Histories by an author of the reputation of Benson J. Lossing, it would seem almost needless to recommend. Everything coming from the pen of this gifted author on the history of our own country, has been marked by an accuracy of statement and thoroughness of research, and at the same time a vivid interest which has placed his name at the head of our historical writers. This series of School Histories is now completed. It is the result of years of careful labor on the part of its author. No pains or expense have been spared in preparing the maps and illustrations, and they are now submitted to the public in the belief that it is not possible to produce a more perfect series of School Histories, either in literary merit, adaptation to the wants of our schools, or the elegance of illustration. A sample copy sent to Teachers (by mail, post paid) for examination, on receipt of half the above price. SHELDON & COMPANY, 498 AND 500 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. 1870.] A MARSHAL OF FRANCE. 685 With the same coolness and self-possession that he had displayed on so many battle-fields, he raised his hand to enforce silence, and simply said, "What, my children! will you slay a Marshal of France?" Immediately every musket was lowered, and amid cries of "Long live Bugeaud!" the old warrior returned unmolested to his home. Upon the accession of Louis Napoleon as Prince President, Bugeaud was appointed general-in-chief of the army of the Alps, but before joining his command he expired of the cholera at Paris on the 10th of June, 1849. Bugeaud was a large man; he possessed a vigorous constitution, and a remarkably powerful voice. During the latter part of his life his hair was very white; he wore no beard; his forehead was high and open; his brown eyes were fixed and brilliant; his expression was firm and penetrating, but very kind. One of his most marked characteristics was the care and consideration he always showed for his troops. He never required long marches unnecessarily; he always chose comfortable bivouacs for them, when possible; he took care to insure the prompt delivery of supplies, and avoided all useless fatigue and annoyance. Often after a march, if a colonel happened to be particular about the alignment before stacking arms, the men would mutter, "Wait! wait! If Father Bugeaud sees you, you will catch it!" As in truth was very sure to be the case. To Bugeaud was due the change in organization and the mode of warfare in Africa which insured the success of the French; and the beneficial effects of his measures are to be clearly seen in the war of the Crimea and in the Italian campaign of Magenta and Solferino. A careful consideration of his career and writings will show that he was a man of remarkable clearness of view; that his ideas were decided, systematic, and original; and that before undertaking any operation, whether large or small, he uniformly determined upon some distinct plan, in accordance with which he worked. The story of his life would be incomplete did it contain only his purely military achievements. He organized the service of the administration of the native tribes; as early as 1844 he had developed the institution of the "Bureaux Arabes," and established on in each military department; his reiterated instructions for the guidance of the administrative officers were conceived in a spirit of extreme kindness, humanity, and justice towards the natives. He occupied himself seriously with the question of colonization, and had well-matured ideas on the subject. While under his command the army of Africa carried out great and important works, very useful in aid of colonization. No sooner did they return from an expedition than they were set to work. They erected public buildings of all kinds, constructed aqueducts and wells, opened roads, drained extensive marshes, and planted gardens; in short, they left everywhere the traces of civilization and industry. Bugeaud published a number of small works, chiefly on military subjects. Among them is an account of his operations in 1815, from which is taken the description given in this article; a valuable treatise on advanced posts and mountain warfare; sketches of various details of the art of war; also papers on agriculture, colonization, the socialist question, etc. In writing as well as in conversation he possessed remarkable clearness and very vivid powers of description; so much so that it is related that Thiers said that he never met any officer who could convey so clear an understanding of a battle as Bugeaud. Although born of a noble family, he had no aristocratic hauteur in his character, but conversed familiarly with the soldier, the colonist, and the peasant, did all in his power to aid them, and endeavored to disseminate sound ideas among them. So little did he regard the distinctions of civil rank, that it is said that he 686 WARBLE FOR LILAC-TIME. [MAY. would never take the trouble to pay the fees necessary to secure the formal delivery of his patent as Duke of Isly ; well aware, perhaps, that he conferred more distinction upon the title than it could upon him. Generous, kind, with a noble heart, and of dauntless valor, he appreciated noble sentiments and courage wherever he found them, without regard to position in life. With such a character, and, with such a career, it is not wonderful that his soldiers loved him. G. B. M. WARBLE FOR LILAC-TIME. WARBLE me now, for joy of Lilac-time, Sort me, O tongue and lips, for Nature's sake, and sweet life's sake, Souvenirs of earliest summer---birds' eggs, and the first berries ; Gather the welcome signs (as children, with pebbles, or stringing shells) ; Put in April and May---the hylas croaking in the ponds---the elastic air, Bees, butterflies, the sparrow with its simple notes, Blue-bird, and darting a swallow--nor forget the high-hole flashing his golden wings, The tranquil sunny haze, the clinging smoke, the vapor, Spiritual, airy insects, humming on gossamer wings, Shimmer of waters, with fish in them--the cerulean above; All that is jocund and sparkling--the brooks running, The maple woods, the crisp February days, and the sugar-making; The robin, where he hops, bright-eyed, brown-breasted, With musical clear call at sunrise, and again at sunset, Or flitting among the trees of the apple-orchard, building the nest of his mate; The melted snow of March--the willow sending forth its yellow-green sprouts; --For spring-time is here! is here! and what is this in it and from it? Thou, Soul, unloosen'd--the restlessness after I know not what; Come! let us lag here no longer--let us be up and away! O for another world! O if one could but fly like a bird! O to escape--to sail forth, as in a ship! To glide with thee, O Soul, o'er all, in all, as a ship o'er the waters! --Gathering these hints, these preludes--the blue sky, the grass, the morning drops of dew; (With additional songs--every spring will I now strike up additional songs, Nor ever again forget, these tender days, the chants of Death as well as Life ;) The lilac-scent, the bushes, and the dark-green, heart-shaped leaves, Wood violets, the little delicate pale blossoms called innocence, Samples and sorts not for themselves alone, but for their atmosphere, To tally, drench'd with them, tested by them, Cities and artificial life, and all their sights and scenes, My mind henceforth, and all its meditations--my recitatives, My land, my age, my race, for once to serve, in songs, (Sprouts, tokens ever of death indeed the same as life,) To grace the brush I love--to sing with the birds, A warble for joy of Lilac-time.

UNPARALLELED INDUCEMENTS FOR SUBSCRIBERS. POMEROY'S DEMOCRAT for 1870 will be the best newspaper ever printed. It has now a larger circulation than ever before—the largest circulation of any political paper ever printed, and is now so firmly established it cannot by any possible means fail. Mr. Pomeroy, Editor and Proprietor, will devote his entire time and attention to editorial and literary labor for THE DEMOCRAT alone, each week adding to the power, interest, worth, and variety of the reading-matter it will contain. With the people to back him— abundant means of his own at his disposal, he is devoting his life to this paper, the people who support it, the cause it advocates, and the principles it defends, without fear, favor, or hope for reward. Read the terms and inducements! In addition to its political worth, THE DEMOCRAT will each week contain: Pomeroy's Saturday Night Chapters. Letters of Correspondence. Editorials on different topics. Pomeroy's Social Chat with Friends. Terence McGrant's Letters. Full Market, Produce, and Money Reports. A Splendid Masonic Department. Happenings Here and There. Brief Items of Satire, News, Sarcasm and Burlesque. Descriptive Letters of Travel. Occasional "Pomeroy Pictures of New York Life," A First-Class Agricultural Department. In short everything to make it the best and most readable paper in the United States. Politically it will be Democratic—red-hot and reliable, earnest and continuous in its war against the bonded interests of the country, and determined in its labors for that earnest Democracy which believes in the restoration and not in the reconsiruction of the Government. Thankful to those who, in every State of the Union, and almost every county of the United States have so generously sustained THE DEMOCRAT, before its removal to New York, and since, we offer the following premiums—as an evidence of gratitude to those who forward from time to time subscribers: SINGLE COPIES, per year . . . $2 50 TEN COPIES, on year to one post-office (we writing the names of subscribers on each paper), and one copy for the year to the one who sends us the club . . . $20 00 TWENTY COPIES, one year, to one post-office (we writing the names of subscribers on each paper), with an extra copy for the year, and a copy of each of POMEROY'S two books, "SENSE" and "NONSENSE," to the getter-up of the club . . . $40 00 THIRTY COPIES, one year, to one post-office (we writing the names of subscribers on each paper), with two extra copies for the year, and a copy of each of POMEROY'S books, "SENSE," "NONSENSE," and "SATURDAY NIGHT," a new book just published, to the getter-up of the club . . . $60 00 WILLCOX & GIBBS SEWING MACHINES AS PREMIUMS. For fifty-six subscribers, with $112, a $56 machine. For sixty subscribers, with $120, a $60 machine. For sixty-five subscribers, with $130, a $65 machine. For one hundred subscribers, with $200, a $100 machine. IMPORTANT NOTICE. If you cannot conveniently raise subscribers enough to entitle you to a machine as a premium, send what you can, with two dollars for each subscriber so sent, and the balance in cash for such priced machine as you may desire, when the paper and machine will be sent as directed. For example, where thirty subscribera and $60 are sent, it will require $26 in cash in addition to the subscription money to purchase a $56 machine; or for forty subscribers and $80, sixteen dollars additional will be required to purchase the same priced machine, and so on in proportion. We offer these unrivalled machines, believing them to be the simplest, most durable, useful, and desirable sewing machines in the world, with a view to giving workingmen or deserving women a chance to obtain a machine for much less money than in any other possible way. There is hardly a township in the United States, but a person can in a day or two earn for himself a family machine, actually worth the price asked for it —the same as sold at when purchased of Willcox & Gibbs, the manufacturers. In many cases a few gentlemen might, by sending their names to us as subscribers, receive for themselves THE DEMOCRAT each week, and a machine for some poor widow or other deserving woman, thus giving her the power to care for herself and family, and live independent. Each machine we send out will be perfect. and of the very best. Address all letters on business connected with the office to C. P. Sykes, Publisher, P. O. Box 5,217 New York City.
