A GEORGIA VOLUNTEER.
Far up the lonely mountain side my wan
dering footsteps led;
The moss lay thick beneath my feet, the i
pine sighed overhead.
The trace of a dismantled fort lay In the J
forest nave.
And in I?’ shad o.v n?ar my path 1 saw I
.1 soldier's grave.
The bramble wrestle.! with the weed upon
the lowly mound.
The simple heidbo.it I rudely writ, had ,
ro::ed to the ground:
I r.ilsid 1: with a reverend hand, from dust •
its tt’ords to clear.
But time had blotted ill but these: "A j
Georgia Volunteer."
I *aw the toad and s aly snake from ,
tangled covert start.
And hide themselves among the weeds .
above the dead man's heart;
But undisturbed, in sleep profound, tin- ■
bee ling there he lay;
Hi- coft'.n but the mountain soil, his i
shroud Confederate gray.
I neard the Shenandoah roll along :'.ie vale j
below.
I saw the Alleghenies r:-e towards the |
realms of snow.
Tiie "Vai • y Campaign" rose to my mind— i
it - leader’s name —an I then
1 knew 'he sleeper had been one of Stone- I
wall Jackson's men. «
Y< t whence he came, what lip shall say— [
whose tongue will ever tell—
What d. sola:g hearths an I hearts have
bem because he fell?
What sad-eyed maiden braids her hair, her I
hair which he held dear?
One lock of which, perchance, lies with <
the Georgia Volunteer. .
What mother, with long watching eyes, i
and white lips cold and dumb.
Watts with appalling patience for her dar- I
ling boy to come?
Her boy' whose mountain grave swells up I
but one of many a scar
Cut on the face of our fair land by gory- 1
handed war.
Wha' fights he fought, what wounds he 1
wore, are all unknown to fame;
Remember, on his lonely grave, there is |
not e’en a name!
That he fought well and bravely, too. and
held bis country dear.
We know, else he had neve.- been a Georgia
volunteer.
He sleeps—what need to question now if
he were wrong or right?
He knows, ere this, whose cause was right '
in God. the Father's, sight.
He wields no warlike weapons now, re- '
turns no foeman’s thrust—
Who but a coward could revile an hon
ored soldier's dust?
Roll. Shenandoah, proudly roll, adown thy
rocky glen:
Above thee lies the grave of one of Stone
wall Jackson’s men.
E- .uath the cedar and the pine, in sail- ,
tude austere.
Unknown, unnamed, forgo.ten. lies a Gcor- ■
Mt.-y \ Towns nd.

An apt old
adage de
clares that*
woman’s
work is never
done. This
is true of the
housewife’s
j manifold du
j ties and ap
proximately*
true of the
thousands
who work all
day in factor
ies and stores
and half the
night in
making and
mending
their own
clothes or sewing for others to patch out a
meagre income. Women who are toe
much on their feet, or who are unable to
stand the strain of over-work and worry,
are peculiarly susceptible to the weak
nesses and irregularities that are the bane
of womankind. The symptoms of such
derangements are insufficient or excessive
menstruation, headache, backache, neu
ralgia, leucorrhcea, displacements and ex
treme nervousness amounting in many
: cases to hysteria The use of morphine is
dangerous and examinations by male phy
sicians are painful and unj ’easant.
