I tie f diowing beautiful composed
by I r«»f. Morgan Ii Looney, of Fayetteville,
Arkansas, immediately hfter the death of
G-n. RtaEtRT E Lfce, we copy from the
Cuiner Sfnnp, tniblished in New York city :
ROBERT EDMUND LEE.
Out on the tremul >as wire,
Afar on the wings of the wind,
On iron steed* breathing with tire,
On steamship that leave ear;h belliud,
Away over mainland and ocean,
To the farthermost civilized shore, -
The news has fiLed earth with emotion
Ihe news that our Lee is no ni >ro.
And now. Southern youth and sweet maiden,
Go twine me a wreath for the brave;
Bring roses, bring hyacinths b-.dfn
M ith perfume to garland his grave.
And while your grief swells like a billow,
0 come and tread softly with ine,
And let us hang wreaths on the willow
lhat droops o’er the dust of our Leo.
Ye States that so long have been voiceless
And crowriless in national woe,
While the tear-drops are gushing as
less
Adown Sout!;*-n checks they now flow.
Come out from-defeat and disaster,
Each wreck ’neath the liberty tree,
Come, mourn for the 1 ss of the master,
. And hallow the grave-stone of Lee.
‘ Soft is thy name, Alabama,
And sweet is thy flower-laden gale,”
But hark ! from each winding savanna,
Come forth the low tones of a wail
Tho wail that no respite can borrow,
dirge of ull jny arid glee,
While wrapt in the mantle of sorrow
Thou mournest our brave chieftain Lee.
Arkansas, throned on thy mountains
Afar ’mid the wilds of the West,
The glades and thy silvery fountains
Still shadow the isles of the blest.
Though oppressors would fain mar thy
beauty
And tramp on the hearts of the free,
Thy sons are still true to their duty,
And hallow the name of our Lee.
Florida, true was thy host and
Their deeds are the the brave ;
But shadows now rest, on toy coast land,
And gloom settles down on the wave.
Beautiful bride of the ocean,
Sweet queen of the far-moaning sea,
We know that thy patriot devotion
Is true to the memory of Lee.
'fhe mothers of Georgia .ore weeping,—
Their wail may be heard on *be air,
For many a loved one lies sleeping
Where Sherman brought death and
despair..
But deeper than all is the sadness
That broods from her hills to the sea,
And brushed is the last tone of gladness
Since waved his sceptre o’er Lee.
Kentucky, perplexed on the border,
llow stands thy account with the brave ?
Thy sons will they spurn the ‘new order,’
And gather with u-s at the grave?
Let the shade of “Oid Hickory” number
The rifles that flashed for the. free j
Let partisan faction now slumber,
And mourn for the great chieftain, Lee.
Beautiful Louisiana,
Realm of cotton and cane,
Now soft on each verdant savanna,
S als mournfully onward the strain.
Each field and the dew-spangled meadow,
Each fountain that rolls to the sea,
Grows sad in the scowl of the shadow
That looms in the death of our Lee.
And Maryland, mother of Howard,
Os Carroll, of May, and of Key,
Sweet land tha' ne’er nurtured a coward,
Now what need we say unto thee ?
While Potom >c rolls on to the ocean,
And Chesapeake kisses the sea,
Oh come with a heartfelt em -tion,
And mourn at the grave of our Lee.
Missouri, redeem thy ideal,
Come back to thy faith and thy love ;
And let the dark cloud of the real
Thy soul from its lethargy move.
Remember the days of thy glory,
Remember the brave and the free ;
Let Shelby and Price tell the story,
And honor the great name of Lee.
From the realm of the rich Mississippi,
Where the cotton was picked by the slave,
A requiem ascendeth to Heaven,
Wrung out from the hearts of the brave.
In the wail of her sad desolation
Now hushed is her jov and glee j
While her’s swells the grief of a ration
That mourns for the lues of our Lee.
On the plains of old North Carolina,
The home of lull many a brave.
While tyranny’s fetters confine her
To a doom worse than that of a slave.
While her sons and her daughters sre
weeping
That oppression should laugh o’er the
free.
The full tide of woe is now sweeping
All thoughts to the memory of Lee.
Oo the rice fields of South Carolina,
Where Africa’s fl ig is unfurled.
Where the jet of a Phillis and Dinah
Now vie with the queens of the world,
A still deeper gloom ’8 now stealing
From Pickang clear down to the sea,
And a depth In the deeps oA«r feeling
Is stirred by tbe death us our Lee.
Come, Tennessee, join in our numbers,
And help in our requiem strain :
Trie shade of the hero that slumbers
Deserves now thy deepest refrain,
hile greatness is honored forever,
And virtue immortal must be,
Come stand by the beautiful river
And hang up a trophy to Lee,
The daughters of Texas ar° saddened
While ber sons feel the terrible blow ;
Each hall that with joy was once gladdened,
Is draped in the cerements of woe.
)V e come with our offering of sorrow,
And humbly we now bend the knee ;
We feel that our night hath no morrow
The grave will not give up our Lee.
Virginia, proud “Old Dominion,”
“Qoeen of the cliff and the wave,”
No slime from the kiss of a minion
Has sullied the hue of thy brave.
But still in the high court of glory
Thy records the kind angels keep ;
And the sod is still dew-bright in storv,
‘ Where the ashes T)f Washington sleep.”
Blest mother of heroes and sages,
V hose fame shall but brighten with
years,
Whose names through a long line of ages,
A nation shall hallow with tears.
Thy Lee is now laid on thy boson,
W here Washington slumbered before,
Their du-R shall but mingle to blossom
Till time and its sorrows are o’er:
But she portals of heaven are swinging !
«. A spirit from Earth’s at the door !
And choirs of angels are singing,
“Corse rest now in bliss evermore.”
And far on those upper heights laden
With flowers immortal and free,
’Neath the sweet-gleaming splendors of
Aiden
Now Washington wanders with Lee!

Fashion'* Prayer—Josh Hilling*.
Kind Fortuno may thy mersios enduro

upon this fine bust of mine.
Strengthen my husband, and may his

Driw the lamb’s wool of unsuspicious
twilight over his eyes, that my flirtations
m «y lo >k to bi n liko and that my
bills may strengthen bis pride in mo.
Bless. oh ! Fortuno, my crimps, rats, nnd
frizzes, and let thy glory shine upon my
paint and powder.
When I walk out befoure the gaze of vul
gar roan, regulnte my wiggle, and add r.u
grace to my gaiters. .
Bless all dry goods klcrks, milliners,
m inty makers and hair-frizzers, and give
immortality to Lubin and hii heirs, and as

Lead me by the side of cologne waters,
and fatten my ealveß upon the bran of thy
love.
Blister, oh I Fortune, with the heat of
thy wrath, the man who treds upon tho
trail of my garments.
When I bow myself in worship, grant
that I may do it with ravishing elegance,
and preserve unto the last the lily-white of
of my flesh, and the taper of my fingers.
Save me from wrinkles, an foster my
plumpness.
Fill my both eyes, oh! Fortune, with the
plaintive pi/.on ov infatuation, that I may
lay out my victims, tho men, as knumb as
graven images.
Enable me, oh Fortune, to wear shoes
still a little smaller, and save mo from all
korns and bunvoos.
B 1 ess Fanny iny lap dog, and rain down
hezom of destruction upon those who would
hurt a hair of Hector, my kitten.
Smile, oh Fortune, most sweetly upon
Dick my kanary, and watch over, with the
fondness of a mother, my two lily-white
mice, with red eyes.
Enable the poor to shirk for themselves,
and save me from all missionary beggars.
Shed the light of thy countenance on my
kammel’s hair shawl, my lavender silk, my
point lace, and my necklace of diamonds,
and keep the moths out of mi sables, I be
seech thee.
I have always been a friend to thee, oh
Fortune, therefore bless me forever, and
