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. , n 190 BROAD STREET. 190 JJRY GOODS DRESS GOODS, MILLINERY, BONNETS, DATS CATS, HAT ORNAMENTS, SHAWLS, MUSLINS, CLOAKS, FLANNELS OPERA FLANNELS, PLAID FLANNELS, MERINOES, ALPACAS, BOMBAZINES, SILKS, .
