Pawn of A pleasant morning in May, Jlroko through the wildcrnoss cool and While perched in the tallest trcl ‘Yu'fis, the birds Were carolling Mendelsohn’s “Songs with out words.” Far from the haunts of men remote, The brook Urawlod on with a liquid note, And nature, all tranquil and lovely, wore The smile of the spirits, as in Kdcn of yore. Little by little, as daylight increased, And deepened the roseate flush in the East— Little by little did morning reveal Two loug glittering lines of steel; Where two hundred thousand bayonets gleam, Tipped with the light of the earliest beam, And the faces are sullen and grim to see, In the hostile armies of tyrant and Lee. All of a sudden, ere rose the sun, Pealed on the silence, the opening gun— A little white puff of smoke there came, And anon the valley was wreathed in flame. Down on the left of the rebel lines, Where a breastwork stands in a copse of pines, Before the rebels their ranks can fo^n, The Yankees have carried the placo by storm. Stars and Stripes o’er the salient wave, Where many a hero has foqnd a grave, And the gallant Confederates strive in vain, The ground they have drenched with their blood to regain ! Yet louder tho thunder of battle roared— Yet a deadlier fire on their columns poured— Slaughter, inferral, rode with despair, Furies twain, through the smoky air. Not far off in the saddle there sat, A grey bearded man, with a black slouch hat; Not much moved by the fire was ho, Calm and resolute Robert Lee. Quick and watchful he kept his eye On two bold rebel brigades close by— Reserves that were standing (and dying) at ease, Whero the tempest of wrath toppled over the trees. For still with their loud deep hull dog bay, The Yankee batteries blazed away, And with every murderous second that sped A dozen brave fellows, alas ! fell dead. The grand old grey beard rodo<||jthe space, Where Death and his victims Stood lace to face, And silently waved his old slouch hat; A world of meaning there was in that! “ Follow me! Steady! We’ll save the day !” This was what ha seemed to say ; And to tho light of his glorious eyo Tho bold brigades thus made reply— “ We’ll go forward but you mnst go back”— And they moved not hu inch in their peril ous track ; “Go to the rear, and we’ll send them to h—!” Then the sound of the battle was lost in their yell. Turning his bridle, Robert Lee Rode to the rear. Like the waves of tho sea, Bursting the dykes in their overflow. Madly bis veterans dashed on the foe. And backward in terror that foe was driven. Their banners rent and their columns riven, Wherever the tido of battle rolled, Over the Wilderness, wood and wold. Sunset, ont of a crimson sky, Steamed o’er a field of ruddier dye, And the brook ran on with a purple stain, From ibo blood of ten thousand loemcn slain. Seasons have passed sinco that day and year Again o’er its pebbles the brook runs clear, And the field in a richer green is drest Where the dead of tho terrible conflict rest. Hushed is the roll of tho rebel drum, Tho sabres arc sheathed and the caunon are dumb, And Fate, with pitiless hand, has furled The flag that once challenged the gaze of the world ; But the fame of the Wilderness fight, abides, And down inlo history grandly rides, Calm and unmoved as in battle ho sat, The Grey Bearded Man in the black slouch hat.

Roofing. LOOK TO YOUR ROOFS. HAVING SECURED THE STATE RIGHT OF THE PATENT MICA ROOFING, We are now prepared to supply it in any quantity, or to apptv it to Roofs. The MICAROOFING is adapted to build ings of every description, and can be ap plied to Steep or Flat Roofs, or over old Shingle Roofs, without removing the shin gles. We recommend its use on Factories, Foundries, Store Houses, Cotton Sheds, Railroad Depots and upon all buildings where steam is used, and a Fire Proof re quired. It costs about one-half the price of Tin. It is cheap, durable, and is easily and quickly applied. The upper surface of the Roofing is protected from the action of the weather, by its -covering of Ground Mica, which is pressed into the water proof com position, making a hard surface of stone, beautiful in appearance, and a sure protec tion against fire. We shall also keep constantly on hand a supply of % INDIA-RUBBER ROOFING PAINT, which is the best coating that can bo used for Tin Roofing. Leaky Tin Roofs ca.n he readily repaired, so as to last many years, at a trifling cost, which would in many eases save the expense of anew Roof.
