Ah ! who It ht OB printing •hargsr borne,
la martial eottome, grey, and often worn ?
No tin tolled trimmings mark bit rank or
trade*
Such figured ttuff for talking bmrot wore
Bade —
Thoae gilded heroet wbo could fight alone,
A thoutand battlet were they left—at
homo!
No oetrich pin met about hit templet play ;
Ho silken »a*h he wean—these ne’er win
doubtful day.
Note well hit masiire brow, and flashing
That add a brightness to the faded skies !
Erect he's seated—tutely, solemn, stern ;
'Within hit bosom great emotions burn.
Behold his mighty arm uplifted high,
The symbol signal that the foe is nigh.
Look ! look, Virginia, on yon distant hills,
That breast the clouds o’erhanging Cban
cellorsTille,
Bis conquering corps is marshalled for the
fight,
And every soldier there believes his eauso
is right. .
O’er rows of itoel, at measured distance,
ware
Their battle banners, earned by the brave.
See ! up the hill the man in costume grey,
On his proud war horse, hurries on his
way.
No welcome shouts rise on the passing
breese ;
His order was —that every sound shall
Dismounted now he seeks his humble
tout,
And soon the hero’s towering form is bant,
From his groat heart inquiring prayers
ascend,
And answering tokens to his soul de
scend.
Distinguished soldiers wbo have won their
stars
On hard fought fields, await the son of
Mars.
Fall well they know that on the virgin
sod,
Their General holds communion with bis
God!
“My gallant aids ! quick, to your posts
repair I
Lead on our veterans—glory’s deeds to
share!
No battle-cry they need—the foemen qnail
Before the men of Shenandoah’s vale !”
Now down the hill the winding column’s
seen,
The night veiled woodland and the foe
between,
On, on they march, with an unfaltering
tread,
By heaps of foemen, wounded, dying, doad.
Nor heed the shrieks that pierce the mid
night air,
From those who writhe in dying tortures
there.
Their great commander turns aside awhile,
Alights and stops whore many a flower
grows wild.
By singing brook that winds among the
trees,
Again he seeks his God on bended knees.
* o * • •
The little birdling in n neighboring nest,
Wanned into slumber by the parent breast,
Sheltered from storms beneath her spread
ing wings,
Chirps into joy whene'er that parent
sings,
And when to fly it timidly essays,
The parent bird instructs in various ways.
More bold It feels the mow tho parent’l3
nigh,
And wings at last its flight towards the
sky!
Like unto this the kneeling warrior shows,
That day by day in Christian faith be
grows,
Timid at first, aye, trembling, fearful,
weak,
As strength increases, still the Christian
meek ;
Just as the birdling when at Grst it flies,
The kneeling warrior on his Parent’s ways
relies!
• • • * *
Ah ! sad the tribute, sad the gathering
tear,
Wrung from onr heart beside the Chief
tain’s bier,
* No need of sable plume or cheerless pall,
The sunny South’s in mourning for his
fall!
Ere yet the moon retires ’fore coming day
And flying sunbeams chase the stars away,
Electric messengers from shore to shore,
Proclaim in faltering voice, “Our Idol
Chiefs no more !’’
Awakening cities heard the awful sound,
And wounded soldiers rose from gory
ground;
From ville and hamlet came a loud fare
well
To Southern hopes, when Stonewall Jack
sen fell !
The Mormox Girls.—Richard Wil
liams who delivered a lecture at Buffalo
recently, on the Mormons, alluded as
follows to one of the disturbing elements
among tbe Saints:
“There is one element among them
selves that is troublesome. The gen
eral testimony of the Gentiles who have
lived in intimate social relations with
them is that the young girls (to their
honor be it said) are mostly disaffected.
Growing np with it they have seen the
institution with all its abominations,
and, opposed as it is to all the holier
feelings and better instincts, no amount
of spiritual thunder can entirely control
them. Here, as everywhere, they are a
privileged class, and cannot very well
be whipped or imprisoned. Like most
of the descendants of Eve, they will talk,
and are ever ready to elope with a Gen
tile who has the courage and can get
away with them. They cannot marry a
Gentile and remain peacefully at home.
Very naturally, they prefer a whole
Gentile to one-tenth of a Mormon. The
most effectual way of breaking up the
whole system would be to send au army
of ten thousand unmarrid men there,
and protect every man who married
and brought a woman to camp. We
might in this way, get rid of the nui
sance without bloodshed, or incurring
the odium of religious persecution.
—Six houses belonging to the Pierce
Butler estate on Fifth and Callowhii!
streets, Philadelphia, were damaged by
fire last week. Loss about $30,000 ; no
insurance.
—The chief sensations in the local
columns of the New Orleans papers just
now, are petroleum stoves, and a two
headed girl. We don't know which is
the biggest humbug of the two.
A shoemaker in Richmond finished
a pair of shoes seventeen and a half
inches long and five inches and a half
wide, for a negro man. He will have to
po to the forks of a road to find a boot
jack.
—Those who denounce a woman’s
extravagance should read this . \
Loudon shirt maker has just finished
a dozen shirts for a gentleman, the price
of which is £l2O. They are, it is stated,
of the finest cambric, and have fronts
embroidered with gold thread.
—A space of 1,131,000 square miles
is said to be around the North Pole,
which is now a blank ou our maps.
—A huge silver brick, pure metal,
was exhibited on 'Change in Chicago
last week. It was half a yard long and
a foot wide. ,
