UNDER THE PINE.
TO THE MEMORY OF HENRY TIMROO.
BY PAUL H. HAYNE.
I.
The same majestic Fine is lifted high
Against the twilight sky.
The same low, melancholy music grieves
Amid the topmost leaves,
As when I watched, and mused, and dreampt
witli him,
Beneath these shadows dim.
ii.
O Tree! lias thou no memory at thy core
Os one who comes no more V
No yearning memory of those scenes that were
So richly calm and fair,
Wlieu the last rays of sunset, shimmering down,
Flashed like a royal crown ?
hi.
And lie, with hand outstretched and eyes ablaze
Looked forth w ith burning gaze,
And seemed to drink the sunset like strong wiue,
Or, hushed in trance divine,
Hailed the first shy and tremulous glance from
far
Os Evening’s virgin star ?
IV.
O Tree! against thy mighty trunk he laid
His weary head; thy shade
Stole o’er him like the first cool spell of sleep :
It brought a peace so deep
The unquiet passion died from out his eyes,
As lightning from stilled skies.
v.
And in that calm he loved to rest, and hear
The soft wind-angels clear
And sweet, among the uppermost branches sigh
ing:
Voices he heard replying
(Or so he dreamed) far up the mystic height,
And pinions rustling light.
VI.
O Tree ! have not his poet-touch, his dreams
So full of heavenly gleams,
Wrought through the‘folded dullness of thy bark,
And all thy nature dark
Stirred to slow throbbings, and the fluttering
lire
Os faint, unknown desire ?
VII.
At least to me there sweeps no rugged ring
That girds the forest-king,
No immortal stain, or awful rent
(The mark of Tempests spent),
No delicate leaf, no lithe bough, vine-o’ergrown,
No distant, flickering cone,
VIII.
But speaks of him, and seems to bring once more
The joy, the love of yore ;
But most when breathed from out the sunset land
The sunset airs are bland,
That blow between the twilight and the night,
Ere yet the stars are bright
IX.
For then that quiet eve comes back to me,
When, deeply, thrillingly,
He spake of lofty hopes which vanquish Death;
And on his mortal breath
A language of immortal meanings hung,
That fired his heart and tongue.
x.
For then unearthly breezes stir and sigh,
Murmuring, “Look up! ’tis I
Thy friend is near thee! Ah, thou canst not see !
And through the sacred Tree
Passes what seems a wild and sentient thrill —
Passes, and all is still ?
XI.
Slill as the grave which holds his tranquil form,
Hushed after many a storm—
Still as the calm that crowns his marble brow,
No pain can wrinkle now—
Still as the peace—pathetic peace of God—
That wraps the holy sod,
Where every flower from our dead minstrel’s
dust
Should bloom, a type of trust—
Tliat faith which waxed to wings of heavenward
might
r l o bear his soul from night—
That faith, dear Christ! whereby we pray to
meet
His spirit at God’s feet!

support Radicalism, the Freedmen’s Bu

peace. To submit to a continuance of

for the benefit of a party whose extrava

The Tennessee papers contain full ac
counts of the Ritualistic ceremonies in
Memphis, which are just now creating an
extraordinary agitation among the mem
bers of the Episcopal Church in that State.
It seems that the Ritualists have convert
ed the Memphis Opera House to the pur
poses of religious worship. The Memphis
Appeal, after giving a brief resume of the
origin and growth of the Ritualistic move
ment in England and New York, says:
Memphis, which in many things is a
pocket "edition to New York, and which
affords many of the excitements and at
tractions of the great commercial capital,
is the first city where Episcopalians have
been, in any numbers to speak of, seized
With this new mania of rituralism. For
years there has been a lurking desire for it
on the part of some of the ministers, but
did not culminate in any determined con
formity to it until after the return of the
delegation of the clergy who visited the
great council of the Anglican Catholic
Church. Among these clergymen was
the Rev. J. W. Rogers, who there had
his scholarly views of the question more
than verified by the practices of the min
istry in the Londou churches mentioned
above- This determined him upon the
course he was with so much eclat initiated.
He witnessed before his departure a feeble
effort to establish a collegiate church, and
deaneries, hitherto unknown to the Amer
can branch of the English Church, and
other indications creeping out by a leau
towards what is termed ‘‘High church
ism.” He determined, therefore, upon
what he yesterday accomplished success
fully, and proposes to continue. Seldom
have we seen a more elegant and refined
CONGREGATION
than had already assembled when we en
tered, at scarcely eleven o’clock. The
orchestral chairs and the parquette were
all occupied, as were the chairs uuder the
galleries. Some, and not a few either, to
obtain a better view of the audience and
the ceremonies, had gone up to the first
and even the second tiers. Altogether
there were perhaps eighteen hundred or
two thousand people in the house. As
usual in all church or religious assembla
ges, the ladies predominated. In the
choir were only two singers and an or
ganist—the instrument used being a parlor
organ of extraordinary sweetness and
power of tone. The scenic and drop cur
tains were rolled up, and the stage served
as a chance], in which, against a dark and
sombre woodland scene in which the artist
had depicted a single rift showing the blue
sky, stood
THE ALTAR,
which, with the super-altar, was draped
in dark green with a white cross in the
centre, the whole profusely ornamented
with rare and beautiful fiowers. The
super-altar was surmounted by a plain
CROSS,
apparently about six feet high, on either
side of which was a trinity of
CANDLES,
which, at the beginning of the service,
were devoutly and reverently approached
and lit by two
ACOLYTES,
dressed in a purple soutan, over which
was a thin lace surplice. After lighting
the caudles they retired, and
THE PRIEST,
dressed in stole and surplice, in solemn
procession, proceeded by the Acolytes
bearing censers of burning
INCENSE,
entered, and, amid the rolling aromatic
vapor, reverently kneeled atthe altar, and
devoutly saluted it. The usual morning
services were intermitted, and the exer
cises of the day commenced with a Litany,
which was not intoned, in consequence,
we suppose, of the choir uot being yet pre
pared. After the Litany the priest ad
vanced to the
LECTURN,
in front of the chancel, which, in like
manner with the altar, was draped in dark
green, marked in the centre with a white
cross, aud delivered a sermou. In conse
quence of the difficulties attending re
porting such a ceremony in so nqvel a
place, we were unable to catch the text,
but the following is the drift of tbe
SERMON,
which partook rather more of the lecture,
perhaps, than of a regular sermon. It
was, as he iuformed the congregation, one
of a series which he intended to deliver,
in which there would be a unity of design
throughout. He apologized for referring
to himself, as it is always an ungrateful
and disagreeable task, and he then pro
ceeded to reveal his labors in our midst
for the past twenty-five years, placing his
records before them. “These are my
works,” he said, “and show that I have a
right to come before you as I do. Your
late beloved Bishop, good man—all hon
or and reverence to his memory ! —advised
me to keep the peculiar rite of our Church
somewhat in the background ; not to ap
pear before the people in my surplices,
and with the symbols of the church. But
he was wrong—it was an error of judg
ment with him. I always put on my sur
plice when I preached before the people.
The clergy, too, had advised me thus, but
l thought honesty the best policy, as well
as the direct command of (lod. ‘You are
rather forward in this,’ I am told by some.
I am forward, though £ have no desire to
be considered a leader. I have always
been forward—forward with mauy of you
for i recognize your faces, and have
heard you receive the command ‘forward!’
aud I have received iu my arms the dy
ing, after that command—at Belmont and
Shiloh, and at the battles around Mobile.”
“I have,” be continued, “celebrated these
‘forward’ ceremonies under far different
circumstances from these—wheA the flow
ers oti the altar were dappled with blood,
Whett the bursting shell and hissing shot,
and the thunders of old ocean, instead of
organ tones, furnished the tremendous
diapason.”
Becondly, the Bishop says: “As for 'in
cense,’ candles on the altar, and gorgeous
vestments, adorned with precious stones
and silver and gold, they are not author
ized by the canons or rubrics of the
church, and we have no such custom.”—
The Bishop will also Inform any one who
asks him, that he does and allows others
to do “many thiugs in our churches”
which are not authorized by the canons,
or rubric, or custom in every place and he
does this on the ground that they are not
forbidden. For this reason we have
organ's, surplices, elevate the consecrated
breud and wine, bow at the name of our
Lord, iutone the servioe, &c. Where is
the canon or rubric for these things? I
cau well remember when the surplice be
gan to he introduced in some dioceses;
atitf flower* ott his cathedral altar are new
customs here. But prudent churchmen
consider it safe and Innooent to introduce
any ritualism not forbidden, if it has ever
been customary in our ohurch iu tbe
I purest ages. £ have proposed no other.
Oh wnat ground compatible with the
Bishop’s card now published can he justi
fy his speech in “Tbe Churoh of St. Mary
Magdalene,” London (where candles, etc.,
are used in service) for which they voted
him a procession cross? I thought I had
acted so exactly in accordance with this
speech that I sent him my card and beg
ged him to give me this ritualistic proces
sional cross. But it seems that I did not

uuderstand him, neither did the priests of
St. Mary Magdalene.
It is proper to add, siuoe the elements
begin to thicken against my new enter
prise, that only a majority of the clergy
gave their consent to my preaching here,
where I have served for twenty-five years.
Rev. Mr. White declined to do so on the
ground that the “sustenance was not suf
ficient for the clergy here at present,” to
which our admiral Dean replied, in his
usual style, that the people could support
ns if they would.
I know the patronage is thin, for our
people as well as ourselves, but I have
ever been willing to eat the crust of pover
ty with them, and to share their sorrows
and fortunes. 8o that whether rioh or
poor, I intend to preach the gospel, and
whether the Bishop likes Ritualism in
England better than he does here or not,
I shall keep the canons and rubrics of our
Church, and, by the help of God, do my
duty! Respectfully,
J. W. Rogers.
LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.
Baltimore, Oct. 7th, 1868.
Since I wrote you last I see that Dr. Bledsoe, of
the Southern Review, has mode torrible havoc with
the “History of the War between the States,” by
Alexander 11. Stephens. The old philosopher
treats the book of the late Vice President of the
Confederate States as a big humbug. I think he
shows, however, before he closes his article, that
he is handling a whale aud fighting a monster.
To devote the leading article of a great Monthly to
a notice of an insignificant compilation of the
Declaration of Independence and a copy of the
Constitution of the United States and other obso
lete State Documents, is a very strange and unac
countable taste in such an unscrupulous critic as
the author of the Review. It would seem that there
is something more in this book than in ordinary
volumes. It seems an unpardonable sin that such
a man as Mr. Stephens should write a book for the
purpose of making money. The success of Its sale
seems to be a very sore grievance, much more so
than it would liavo been if the Reviewer's own
books had met with a much more extended circu
lation. A class of just such politicians as Dr.
Bledsoe was the cause of the war, which but few of
them helped to fight, and it is but reasonable to
suppose that the views of such a man as Alexander
H. Stephens, who was opposed to the war from
the beginning, and throughout to the manner of
conducting it, predicting all the time the very
condition of things that lias transpired and now
exist would be the result, could say or write a sen
tence that would ever meet their approbation.
Stephens’ book was written for future generations
and other countries besides America. The most
distinguished writer of this age in Europe, inquir
ing about the “History of the War,” desired to
know if it contained State Documents. The ques
tion being answered affirmatively, he pronounced
it the very book that the whole world demanded.
A volume had been written at the North, and
scattered over the Eastern Hemisphere, and anoth
er at the South, which had found its way to London
at least—both partisan and unsatisfactory. What
the intelligent reader wanted was a detailed account
of the whole difficulty from the record. Mr. Ste
phens is traduced by his own countrymen fordoing
the very thing the world needed and the times
required, to perpetuate the truth of history. I ex
pect the book will still be sold, and if it vindicates
the political life of its author, it will do then a
most sacred duty, and which every public or sensi
ble man will appreciate. Mr. Stephens spent a
week recently in Baltimore, and we insisted upon
his making a speech before the Democratic Associ
ation, but he persistently refused to gratify his
many women friends, who ardently admire his
course through life, and award him to-day the posi
tion of the greatest statesman in America. The
course he is now acting shows his good sense, and
no reflecting man can listen to the explanation of
lxis sentence for five minutes, without being satis
fied that he is right. We feel, on the border, that
it would have been better for the cause if all the
prominent men of the South had been silent. They
have said too much, and injured the prospects of
of the Democratic party in their zeal to regain their
status in the Government. The Black Republicans
pervert every word that a leading Southern man
utters; even the letter of Gen. Lee and his patriot
ic associates, to Gen. Rosecrans, while sojourning
at the White Sulphur Springs, during the summer,
has been presented to the Northern people in such
a light that it is a useful firebrand to stir up the old
passions of hatred and strife which underlie all the
sentiment of that section.
The power which Gen. Lee himself exerts over
the whole country and keeps him at the elevation
lie now enjoys, and will enshrine his name in the
memory of all true men of the nation, Is retained
by his unobtrusive course in regard to the miserable
questions of political policy which distract the
country. The old leaders should have been more
considerate and have kept quiet until a convenient
season. We are looking the future full in the face,
and the newspapers on both sides are sanguine o
success, the Democrats are hopeful and count the
final ballot as by destiny—but the ebbing and flow
ing of the great wave of moving beings that circu
late over the different States, point more clearly to
the temperature of the political atmosphere, than
any other interested class of observers. Every
train brings us the traveler, who reports the con
test doubtful in quarters along the line of battle
that was unexpected, aud a rampart of the enemy
that at one time was ready to surrender, is still
standing with bristling bayonets and in the hartds
of an unscrupulous foe.
Trade, this season in Baltimore has been much
better than was anticipated, and especially from the
South. The vast number of young men who have
emigrated to tills city bring an influence with them
that exhibits itself very perceptibly upon the vari
ous markets, and they divert a large number of
heavy bills that have been heretofore made in New
York. The young ‘rebs,’ stir up things herein
such a way that old settled salesmen are elbowed
clear out of the ring. They came here determined
to succeed, and most of them are floating. Last
summer was a trying time upon them.
Many of them were strangers; business was dull
and they struggled for bread. One young man
from Charleston, with a good character and a com
petent clerk, offered for weeks his services for a
pittance. Falling to secure a situation he answer
ed an advertisement for laborers on tho Railroad
at one dollar and a half a day. Fulling off his coat,
jho entered mannfully upon his engagement and
faithfully handled his spade for three of tho hottest
summer months. A few weeks ago the proprietor
of u large Manufactory inquired for an honest, in
dustrious clerk who was not afraid of work. He
was informed that young O. P. was out on the
railroad, and it was thought would suit him pre
cisely. The gentleman who recommended tho
young man found him at his house upon his return,
having come into the city to spend the Sabbath.
He was notified that there was a situation which it
was proable he could secure Ho immediately re
ported himself, and in a few minutes was told to be
at the olflce on Monduy morning for business, and
that he should tie allowed a good salary. The em
ployer is highly pleased, and this noble young man
has opened up an avenue to a most successful fu
ture, with increasing wages and a most honorable
employment and fortunate associations. This Is
only one sample of many of the Southern boys who
have come to Baltimore. They may be in a few
years better known as wholesale dealers lu the
great staples of the country. 6m.
