While the morn is blushing o’er us
Haste to make our Imppy choice!
Who shall he queen V who shall be queen ?

All the. aspirants (lo the Recluse.)
Stranger, thou hiu-t heard our claim,
Will thou now, our sovereign name?
Humbly we appeal to thee,
Tail us who our queen shall lie.
Recluse.
’Tis hard lo choose,, where nature’s hand
Alike her gifts bestows.
Here every flower on which I gnr.o
With richest beauty glows.
Though all our admiration claim,
Vet in the Rose we find
A simple grace autl purity
With loveliness combined.
’Tis true that with this gentle flower
A thorn is oft concealed.
But she who wears a coronet,
A sword must sometimes wield.
And since it is my duty now
\ sovereign to propose,
Wisdom must guide me in my choice,
Say, shall it be the H»sc ?

The Hose, the Rose, our queen shall be! ;
Prepare we for the festive scene,
Wi 11 crown with joy our lovely queen!
From rural cot rind valley fair
The purest, brightest gems we’ll bear;
The tails shall ring their merry sound,
And from the hills ami vales around,
Whore sparkling luuutains gently play,
Shall sweetly float our festive lay:
Haste away I haste away ! haste, haste, away !

We toll the sad knell of the innocent flowers;

The Meatherbells blithely are chiming again.
We come from the hill-side our queen to adorn

Thus in confidence sincere
May we each the other cheer,
Life in sweeter concord spend
’Till its fleeting moments end.

We go to fulfill our glad mission to earth,
We praise the Great Being who gave us our
birth,
And lessons of meekness and love we impart,
As we whisper of hope to the desolate heart.
In the chamber of sorrow how oft we appear,
And our leaves are inipearleil with affection’s
waint tear;
We hush the sad mournings of sickness and
pain,
And restore to the cheek its bright blushes
again.
We smite in the palace, we bloom in the cot,
And there is Ike dearest, the loveliest spot;
For we list to the prayers that at evening as
cend,
Where peace with contentment and innocence
blend.
O’er the graves where the loved and the cher

Wc tenderly bow and we silently weep.
We’ll ever proclaim to the creature ol earth
The goodness of Him who has given us our

THE DEAD.
“Resolved, That the members af the
Executive Committee of the Grand
Army of the Republic do hereby give
notice that, May 30 being set apart by
the Grand Army 7 of the Republic as
a memorial day, and the grounds at
Arlington being opened on that spe
cial day 7 by order of the Quartermas
ter-General of the Army 7 of the Grand
Army of the Republic for the pur
pose of strewing flowers upon and
decorating the graves of the deceased
Union soldiers, any attempt by 7
friends of the rebel dead to strew
flowers on their graves will be re
garded as an interference with the
programme of the day 7 , and will not
be tolerated.”
The above is one of a series of reso
lutions passed by 7 a number of ex
home guards, Who now, like political
barnacles, cling to the ship of State in
Washington as clerks in the different
departments. And they call them
selves the ‘‘Grand Army of the Re
public,” as the three tailors of Tooley
street called themselves “We, the
people of England,” in addressing
tho King. A more unmanly, mean
and cowardly resolution was never
passed by 7 even a pack of political
hummers than this: and, if we were
not fully 7 acquainted with this mysti
cal organization, we might raise our
hands in holy horror and blush for
the manhood of our race and the ex
soldiers of the army!
The Grand Army of the Republic
was organized seven years ago in Illi
nois, and the intention of its founders
was to make it a charitable associa
tion, to which soldiers of both parties
could belong and mutually aid in the
care of those left destitute by the war.
it worked well enough for a few
years, and then old soldiers began to
tight sliv of it, for they found that it
was made the machine to elevate po
litical soldiers into office; and during
the last four y r ears its ranks have been
depleted by 7 good men, and now it is
controlled completely by 7 these sol
dier politicians who are principally
distinguished by their ignorance of
war and tlieir familiarity with the
strategy of polities and the counting of
election returns. The whole “Grand
Army” does not number throughout
the entire Union 20,000 men, though
fifteen hundred thousand soldiers
were mustered out of the Union ser
vice at the close of the war. We know
whereof we speak, know the men,
their ritual oft changed, their indi
vidual names and records, and in the
name of the true men and brave, who
fought for what they deemed right,
we hereby 7 denounce the organization
known as “The Grand Army” as a
political fraud, an aggregation of
bummers who, fearing the rebel liv
ing, now like hyenas, gather to snarl
above the dead. If we had been Con
federates this would seem harsh to
Northern ears, but we fought for the
Union, starved for it, and did our du
ty as God gave us the light. Nay,
more, wc* commanded, in its purity,
the largest department of this grand
army, and feel authorized in saying
that the dregs that now constitute it
are the cowards and poltroons of war.
and tlie repeaters, snobs and little
politicians of peace. They fear trouble
if the friends of the Confederate dead
gather on the 30th of May to decorate
the graves of the fallen? The poor
fools, they may have women and
children to oppose them ; there would
be no trouble if men stood in their
front.
It is a lie to call this ghoul-like res
olution an exponent of Northern feel
ing, as it would be to call those cow
ards representatives of the civiliza
tion of our age. It misrepresents
both; and knowing this in our hearts,
we take this means to denounce it.—
The dead of both armies sleep side by
side on scores of battle fields, where
they laid down their lives fqr what
they deemed duty; and the fallen
warriors were only foes when they
had weapons in their hands. They
are sleeping by the white shores of
the Gulf, and nature, in her ample
charity, at the bidding of the Great
Father, forgets the strife of the past,
and binds the graves in flowering
vine and verdant sod, where mistak
ed brothers sleep side by side. The
skeleton forms of daring men rock
ever in harmony to the ceaseless pul
sations of the ocean, along that shore
which each deemed to be his coun
try7’s sacred strand. Along the banks
of tbe Father of Waters, under cot
tonwood and cypress, the past foes
sleep, lulled by His requiem, and there
they will rest till the assembly of the
mystic angel calls them to the pres
ence of the Great Captain of all,
where each must give an account, not
of what he did, but what he deemed
his duty. Through the hills of Geor
gia, where Johnston fortified and
Sherman flanked, the flowers to-day
grow in common on their graves, and
none can judge whether the form be
low wore the blue or the gray. Along
the Tennessee and Cumberland, and
north by the waters of the historic
James and classic Potomac, nature is
now decking their graves, and the
spring birds sing their songs of peace
above the dead. By streamlet and
in jungle they are lying—men who
made the greatest sacrifice for princi
ple; and the mountains whereon
they sleep will have crumbled to the
| plain, and the rivers by which
they fell will have dried, ere the sto
ry of their mutual heroism dies out
I or the result of their daring ceases to
affect mankind. Shame upon this
fraud that calls itself the “Grand Ar
my” ! It is a humbug and a lie, and
its organization is selfish and corrupt!
Welcome the day when only the he
roism of our common brothers will
be remembered, and when North and
South we can imitate nature by our
common graves, and kneel with
chaplets by the mounds of men who
dared to do their duty. — Columbus

A NEGRO BAPTIZING IN MIS
SISSIPPI.
The ceremonies had already begun
; when I arrived. A negro preacher,
assisted by two attendants who only
appreciated the importance of their
position, stood in the edge of the
stream, and one by one the candid
ates, or “seekers,” as the negroes
have it, descended to the water from
a tent on the slope above. The sa
cred formula was pronounced over
each ones then came a little splash as
£he sinner was “buried” a moment
m baptism, and then that shrill and,
to me, almost terrifying shriek which
constitutes an orthodox religious
‘shout” was heard as the regenerate
darkey emerged from the water and
was led back shrieking and strug
gling to the shore, where the older
“brethren” and “sisteren” were wait
ing to receive him.
As soon as the preacher had pro
nounced bis formula the whole as
sembly, led by a magnificent bass
voice, set up one of these wild, weird
negro choruses, which, once heard,
can never tie forgotten. The music
continued till the next candidate was
about to be immersed, and then ceas
ed only for a moment to rise again
as soon as the preacher’s voice was
imshed. Those who have never heard
a chorus of this sort, don’t know
what music is. Such a magnificent
volume of sound, such a grand roil of
human voices, as some favorite strain
such as “Let’s go down to the water,”
or “Stand on the walls of Zion,”
came surging and swelling over the
river, never greeted-my ears before,
it beggars all description. The grand
organ at Cologne is but a penny whis
tle to it; the Boston Jubilee but a
piping of sparrows. There was not a
single false note, not a slip in time or
tune, as the wonderful chorus came
swelling over the water, making the
very heavens ring with melody. All
four parts (tenor, bass, alto, soprano)
were carried in such perfect harmo
ny that it was as if one mighty voice
was hymning its praise to heaven.—
How they manage it is a mystery;
not one of all that sable multitude
was acquainted with even the first
rudiments of music, yet no trained
orchestra ever kept more perfect
time.
We kept our station on the raft for
over an hour, while some thirty
“seekers” were converted into “pro
fessors,” and then, at the suggestion
of my friend, proceeded further down
the stream to have a nearer view of
the ceremony. I was sorry afterward
that I had done so, for all the solem
nity of the occasion immediately de
parted. Some of the gestures of the
negroes as they came up out of the
water were ludicrous in the extreme,
and their language often irreverent,
even blasphemous. Negroes consid
er some violent physical demonstra
tion a necessary evidence of .the va
lidity of their conversion; indeed one
old woman informed me that she
“never had kno wed nobody to come
through all right without they went
into a trance.”
The effect of the music was decid
edly spoiled by too close proximity.
The voices which had sounded so
grand and sonorous from a distance,
were harsh and coarse close by, while
a distinct hearing of the words did
not contribute by any means to the
grandeur of the music. Who, for in
stance,. could repress a smile at the
following, though sung to afuost ex
quisite melody:
I weep, I moan, what make I moan
so slow ?
I wonder if a-Zion traveller has gone
along before ?
Mary and Martha, feed my lambs,
Feed my lambs, feed my lambs;
Mary and Martha, feed my lambs,
Settin’ on tie golden altar.
There is another specimen, the ef
fect of which I leave to the reader’s
imagination:
I meet my soul at de bar of God,
1 heerd a might bumber;
It was my sin fell down to hell
Just like a clap ’o thunder.
The creeds of the two African
churches in this place it would puz

self to formulate. They shout like
the Methodists, immerse with the
Baptists, have godfathers and god
mothers, and observe Easter and
Good Friday with the Roman Catho
lics and Episcopalians, and observe
various fetish practices besides, so
that, if the truth is with any sect,
Christian or Pagan, they stand a pret
ty fair chance of being iu the right
sometimes.
Curious Story About a Hawk.
—A curious incident occurred a few
days since a short distance from this
city. One of our well-known mer
chants had gone out on a visit to a
friend, at whose house there was a
bright little boy, and one day, to
please the child, he manufactured a
very large kite, and as the wind was
strong enough, the kite was raised at
once. After it had gone up nearly
half a mile, a large crowd of country
people collected to admire it, as such
a magnificent toy had never been
seen in that section before. While
the spectators were admiring it, a
very large hawk was seen to fly slow
ly out of a neighboring grove and go
directly toward the kite. The hawk
approached within a few feet of the
strange looking object, and the cir
cled about under it for, perhaps, five
minutes, when he flew just above it
and again circled around several
times. Suddenly ho hovered direct
ly over the kite, and after looking at
it intently for a short time, darted
down warn, and striking the paper,
passed directly through the kite,
coming out on the under side,. Af
ter this strange experience, which
no doubt puzzled the hawk vastly,
he flew off a short distace for reflec
tion, but still keeping the kite in
view. Not being disposed to give it
up so, he quickly returned to the
charge, and this time fastened on the
long string of rags that were used as
a tail to the kite, which he tore and
scattered in the air in a savage man
ner. Finding, however, no resist
ance on the part of the kite, lie be
came disgusted or scared, and flew
away toward the woods from whence
he came. The gentleman says that
whenever the hawk made an" attack
he would retreat a little, as if he ex
pected the strange bird was going to
return the assault. —Baltimore Ameri

age, was knocked down by a rooster,
a day or two ago, and had his re
venge at the dinner-table the next
day.
While a Texas man was trying to
anchor his mule to a stake, recently,
the animal managed to get the rope
around the man’s neck, and then ran
away at the top of his speed. The
widow wants to seil the mule.
This may be a trifle personal, but
it’s the way they put things out West.
A St. Louis editor, in speaking of a
brother ink-slinger, says, “He is
young yet*, but he can sit at his desk
and brush the cobwebs from the ceil
ing with his ears.”
A malicious Terre Hautentot sub
stituted a paper full of white beaus
for the package of gum drops which
another young man was going to car
ry to his Angelina, and the poor fel
low was kept busy until 3 o’clock in
the morning trying to explain mat
ters.
A sentimental youth swallowed
the postage stamp on a leter from
“her,” because he thought the dear
girl had licked it. It made him
deathly sick. The reason was, that
her big brother, who chewed tobac
co, had put the stamp on tDo letter.
The legend on the picture generally
exhibited in saloons, where business
is conducted on a cash basis, is alter
ed in the West to suit the times, and
now reads, “Public trust is dead;
back pay killed him.”
—Wink at her tenderly—
The girl over there!
Her walk “grecian benderly,”
And purchased, her hair.
The Augusta, Ky., Chronicle gives
the following warning: “Delin
quent subscribers should not permit
their daughters to wear this paper for
a bustle. There being so much due
on it there is danger of their taking
cold.”
An amateur snake-fancier, whose
neighbors complain of him for keep
ing boa-constrictors on the roof of his
house, defends himself by saying that
he can put any sort of tiles he pleases
on his roof, and that he perfers rep
tiles.

The editor of Appleton’s Journal,
speaking of the excavations that are
being made at Jerusalem, and of the
success that is being met with in
bringing Solomen’s Temple once
more to the light of the day, says:
“Already it is ascertained that the
tradition that that mighty offering
to the God of Israel was built with
out hammer, or axe, or any iron tool,
is correct; and that within its walls a
multitude of more than two hundred
thousand souls might worship togeth
er.”
