The Blue and the Gray.
BY M, E. 1\ FINCH.
T.v the flow of the inland river,
' Whence tiie fleets of iron have fled,
Where the blades of the grave grass quiver,
Asleep, are the ranks of the dead ;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day ;
Under the one, the Bloo:
Under the other, the Gray.
These in tiie rollings of glory,
Those in the bloom of defeat,
All with the battle-blood gory,
In the dusk of eternity meet; -
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day:—
Under the laurel, the Blue ;
Under the willow, the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours,
The desolate mourner* go,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe:
Under tiie sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;—
Under the roses, the Blue ;
Under the lillies, the Gray,
go with an equal splendor,
The morning sun-rays fall,
With a touch, impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all \
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day
Broidered with gold, the Blue,
Mellowed with gold, the Gray.
So, when the summer calleth,-
On forest and field of grain
With an equal nittrnuir falieth
The cooling drip of rain ; —-
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day
Wet with the rain, the Blue ;
Wet with the rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was dono ;
In the storm of the years that arc fading,
No braver battle was won ;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day ;
Under the blossoms, the Blue;
Under the garlands, the Gray.
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red ;■
They banish our anger forever
When they laurel the gravesof our dead!
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day,
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray,
Ilolv it Ended. —A correspondent of the
Louisville Courier wri'es as follows to that
journal from New York ;
‘ The case of Jus. F'. Cunruniivgs formerly
a Commissary in the Confederatfl army,
against Bennett of and claiming
$200,000 for an alleged libel, was decided
yesterday. Judge Barnard dismissed the
case. Briifly be decided that Cummings
was an unpaidoned rebel, and as such he
has no tight to plead against a loyal citizen :
and that there was no just cadse for action
in the premises anyhov/.
The ofDnee of the editor was that ho prin
ted an article compiled from the judicial re~
cords, charging said Cummings with Swin*.
dling certain citiztns of Georgia.”
An old lady, a professor of the washer-
art bad managed to scrape together
sufficient mgans to build a small house and
barn in the country. One afernoon, soon
after 9he was comfortably established in her
new home a Hack cloud was seen in tbe
West, and before many minutes, a tornado
swept through her small property, scattering
the timbers of her little barn in ail directions.
Coming out of her kitchen, and seeing the
devastation the storm had made, the old lady
at first could not find word* to express her
indignation—but at last she exclaimed .
“Well, here’s a pretty business ! No mat
ter, though. I’ll pay you for this. Til trash
on Siinday /”
A bewitching little widow out West gives
the following receipt to get a husband, and
if it don’t succeed, we don’t know what
would “trap" a fellow : Invite a nice young
man to tea, set him a laughing every five
minutes during the evening, let him have
six kisses, and you’ll be bis wife after twenty
similar operations! It was never yet known
to tail when properly administered.
Disturbing Public Worship.— During the
present sitting of the Circuit Court at Estill
ville, a man was tried and convicted of disturb
ing public worship. As the penalty of such
conviction, Ilis Honor Judge Campbell, senten
ced the convicted outlaw to pay a fine of fifty
dollars and to be imprisoned for twentij-foitr
hours I As the sheriff was conducting him
from the court room to the jail, lie was forcibly
taken possession of and set at liberty by the
Lieutenant commanding the forces at Estill
ville. In a few minutes the criminal was on a
h o rse parading the streets, cursing and denoun
cing rebels, at the same time displaying a pair
of navy pistols! Not a word wits said. The
law-abiding citizens stood mute while the ne
groes and scum of the country, led on hy the
traitors, Bowman and his Rod String bandit,
applauded his lawless conduct.
Here is a bid for additional outrages upon
the religious gatherings of the country—a new
stimulant to break up the channels of moral
ity and virtuous society, to gratify the misera
ble caprices of some pitiful Puritan, wrapped
in Federal unilorm. Had the offender been a
“rebel” or Conservative, the ojficixms little in
termeddlor would not have said a word. Thus
the work goes bravely on. What next?—Bris
tol News.
A respectable married lady of this city,
who has been in the habit of meeting her
husband on his return from business, at an
ice-crenm saloon not far from their res denco,
met with a rather disagreeab'a adventure a
few nights since. As she was sit ing in her
accustomed place, a stranger entered the
room, and w ith an air of business and a lack
of ceremony that somewhat startled Iter,
squatted himself in a chair near, pulling out
paper and pencil, and demanding her name,
that of her husband, and occupation. So
much sas prised was she that who unhesita
tingly answered all his questions, aud upon
noting her answers he pronounced her under
arrest, showing upon his coat the star of po
liceman as his authority, and charging her
with criminally meeting various persons
without the knowledge of her husband.
She stio- gly asserted her entire innocence,
and showed signs of resistance, but was fi
nally persuaded to accompany the man in
the direction of the station house on the
Square, to which lie pretended to bo going.
As good luck would have it, howi ver, they
chanced to meet a frieod of the lady’s, whose
amazement at seeing her in such company
may well be imagined. She at once appealed
to him, and he, not doubting the author
ity of the strange captor, readily testified to
the character of the prisoner, whereupon tiie
bogus officer reluctantly relinquished his
charge, not daring to carry his wicked scheme
any further. The lady reached her home
in safety, and nothing has since been seen
of the mysterious “policeman.”

Circumstances Alter Cases.
If it should tuTn out, as il is now believed,
that a reaotion in the popular mind against
radicalism has commenced, nod that it will
go on Until that party is swept from prwer,
how would the radicals like to have some of
their own doctrines applied to them ? For
instance; they carried the elections by large
popular majorities last year and they claim
ed that these majorities represented the
voice cf the people in approval of their pol
icy, and that the people being the source o(
all power, they were obliged to heed and ex
ecute their wishes though the Constitution
; stood in the way. They have attempted to
justify their lawlessness and usurpation with
ibis argument.
Now, suppose that in the next BreaulenCal
i election they should find themselves, as they
are Tkely to Jo, in the minority, how would
it suu them to have this rule applied by the
victorious party and the will of Congress
substituted for a written constitution f We
imagine they would then comprehend the
fact that “circumstances alter cases,” atsd
their imprecations would be both loud and
heartfelt.
A majority on one sale rain no more legal
ly or justly taka the place of the written law
than on the other. Constitutions are made
to control majorities and to protect minori
ties. This is ona of their leading c ffi-es ;
but if what is called the voice of the p'ecple,
which means a party maj irit'y, which might
have resulted from accidental causes, as it
frequently does, is permitted to overturn the
Constitution, thon such an instrument is a
uselpss thing, to be kieked by one party and
then by the other.
If, which is possible, some future D-mo
eratic President and Congress, with the army
and navy at their command, should see prop
er to wipe out *ll Radical legislation, and
re-establish slavery, the Radicals would think
it monstrous that the powers of the Govern
ment should be thus perverted and misused.
Yet it would be tro greater outrage and usur
pation than they have been guilty of; first
in abolishing slavery, and second in enslav
ing white men. Tbev would then think of
the engineer who was “b ist by his own
petard.”
Le Bertier (* Parisian pAp-er) recommends
the following method for the perservation of
eegs: Dissolve four ounces of beeswax in
eight ounces of warm olive oil, in this put
the tip of the finger and anoiut the egg all
around. The oil will immediately he absorb
ed by the shell, and the pores filled up with
the wax. If kept in a cool place, the eggs
after two years will be as good as if fresh
laid.
A man carrying a cradle was stopped by
an old woman, and thus accosted : “Si, sir,
you have got some of the fruits of matrimo
ny.” ‘Softly, old lady,” said he, “you mis
take, this is merely the fruit basket.”
A paper asks very innocently if it is any
harm to sit in the lapse of ages. It depends
on the kind of age* selected. Those from
seventeep to twenty five are ex'ra hazird
oue.
A man was arrested near Chicago on
Fridav, for drawing ?75,000 from a bank
in New York by means of a check with
the forged signature of Commodore
Vanderbilt. He made his escape imme
diately aflef getting the money, but was
traced to Chicago, and anested a few
miles out, where he had bought well
stocked farm, for which he paid *”.0,000.

Artless Simplicity.
Oiie of the sweetest incidents which w«
have noticed for many a day—and on«
which shows the effect of carfy training, as*
skted by a pure and undefiled imagination—•
has just fallen under otlr observation. It i*
thus related:
A lady visited New York city ami saw ©n
the sidewalk a ragged, cold and hungry Ift-
Ifc&ri; gazing wistfully at some of the cake*
iu a shop window. She stopped, and taking
the little one by the hand, led her into th«
store. Though she was aware that bread
rniglrt be better for the cold child than cake,
yet desiring to gratify the shivering and for
lorn one, she bought and gave her the cake
she wanted. She then took her to another
place, where she procured h'er a shawl and
other articles of comfort. The grateful little
creature looked the benevolent lady full in
the fac 1 , and with artless simplicity said, “Ar«
you God’s wifoP D.d the most eloquent
speaker ever employ words Lo a better ad

No One Without Some Blessinu.— For eve
ry one, life has somo blessing—*some cup that
is not mixed with bittorrteSs. At every heart
there is some fountain of purest water, and all
men at some time taste its sweetness. Who is
lie that has not found in his path of life, som*
fragrant ros© bu9h, scenting all the air with it*
sweet perfume, and cheering the heart of the
weary traveler with its beauty ?
Thad. Stevens threatens that the Southern
rebels shall fee! more of his steel. For God’*
sake can he and his party steal more from
tbe South than they have already done f W«
though; tb*y had stolen all there was to
steal. Where is Butter ? We can tell old
Thad. that tbe pickings left down there are
not worth going after.
Attorney Generai Stanbery is preparing a*
opiuion setting forth that all persons pardon
ed by tbe recent amnesty proclamation h*v*
a right to register and to vote,
“What object do you see V 1 asked s sur
geo* ot" a patient who had recently under
gone an operation to restore his eyedght.—-
Tbe young ’uu hesitated a few moments, »i-d
then replied: “It appears like a jvkas«,
doctor, but I rather think its your shadow.”
An Irishman being asked in court so r hi
certificate of marriage, showed a big sew &
his head about tbe shape of a thovei, which
was satisfactory.
