' ’~Morr Cruel Than War.
A correspondent of tho Kansas City
Times revives a striking poem, of
wtytfl) this is the history ; A. South
ern prisoner of war at Camp Chase in
Ohio, after pining of sickness in the
hospital of that station for some time,
and confiding to his friend and iellow-
captivc, CoL W. S. Hawkins, of Ten
nessee, that he was heavy of heart be
cause his affianced bride in Nashville
did not write to him, died just before
theairival of a letter In which the la
dy curtly broke tho engagement Col.
lfawkinshad been requested by his
dying comrade to open any epistle
which should come lor him thereafter,
•and, ui>on rending the letter in ques
tion. penned the following versified
answer. The lines were imperfectly
given l»v tin? Southern press immedia
tely after the war, and deserve revi
val, if only for the sake of the correc
tions requisite to do justice to their
sentiment and win for them a wider
appreciation :
MV FltlKND.
Vour letter, lady, came too late,
For heaven had claimed its own ;
All, sudden change—from prison bars
Unto the great while throne !
Ami yet I tliiuk he would have stayed,
To live for his disdaiu,
Could ho have read tho careless words
Which you have sent in vain.
.So full of patience did he wait,
Through innuy a weary hour,
That o’er his simple soldiers faith
Not even death had pow’r ;
And you—did others whisper low
Their homage in your car,
As though among their shallow throng
His spirit had a peer i
I would that you were by me now,
To draw the sheet aside
Am^sc(! how pure the look he wore
The moment when lie died.
The soi row that you gave to him
Had left, its weary trace,
As ’i were the shadow of the Cross
Upon his palliJ lace.
“Her love,” he said, “couid change for
mo
The winter’s cold to spring
Ah, trust of fickle maiden's love,
Thou art a bitter thing !
For when these valley’s, bright in
May,
Once more with blossom’s wave,
The Northern violets shall blow
Above his bumble grave.
Vour dole and scanty words bad been
But one more pang to bear,
For him who kissed unto the last
Your tress of golden hair ;
1 dill not pul it where be said,
