[From the Charleston Doily Now*.
Our Fettered Chieftain, Jefferson
Davie.
BY MBS. C..A. BALL.
‘ Chief of e fallen cause 1
How the heart sickens o’er the tale of wrong
Done to thy manhood in that fortress strong,
Where, in the power of a ruthless foe
Who sought to bring (by noble
Shaokles were brought for thee.
"The ihame! tie siawe/” well may that
bitter ory,
Wrung from thee in thy bitter agony,
In trumpet tones flng through the Chris
tian world;
But not on lies, on them, the shame be
hurled,
Who wrought the indignity.
On those, thine enemies,
No shame is written on thy lofty brow,
Fetters could not thy free soul bind or how,
Nor cast a shadow on thine honored name,
Nor blot the writing on the scroll of famo
Whpre it so brightly glows.
Discrowned indeed thou art, of power
shorn j
No more a chief—an old man, weak and
worn; ,
Yet to each Southern heart now dearer far
Than when thou slion'a. a bright i.spn ud
ent star —
A terror to thy foes.
"Shetne ! ihame /” the cry resounds
Where’er the deed of darkness is unrolled—
Where’er throughout the world the tale is
told—
A nation’s heart with indignation hums.
And o’er the wronged and outraged pris
oner yearns
With fervent sympathy.
"Shame, ihame," to those who struck tho
coward blow,
And heaped such insult on a fallen foe;
But lAou, brave spirit, who hast borne tlio
wrong—
THou, who has loarnt “to suffer and be
strong”—
Thou, whose calm fortitude in sorrow’s
night *
Has shed around tby name a glorious light,
Disgrace falls not on thee.
Our chieftain well beloved:
Errors there may have boon in thy brief
reign ;
All are forgot in this thy time of pain.
Mistakes committed in thy day of power
Are blotted out in this thy suffering hour,
Thou much enduring one.
Brave martyr to the cause we loved so well;
Worn captive, in thy lonely prison cell,
No shame can rest on thee ; and in the land
Where onoe it was thy glory to command.
Tby itarful wrongs have made thee doubly
dear,
And still tby name we’ll honor and revere,
’Till sets fore’er life's sun.

Roofing.
LOOK TO YOUE EOOFS.
Having secured the state
RIGHT OF THE
PATENT MICA ROOFING,
We are now prepared to supply it in any
quantity, or to appiy it to Roofs.
The MICA ROOFING 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
quiekly 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 tho best coating that can be used
for Tin Roofing. Leaky Tin Roofs can be
readily repaired, so as to last many years,
at a trifling cost, which would in many
cases save the expense of anew Roof.
Full directions for applying, and prices,
sent on application.
