THE LONE SENTRY.
The following boautiful lines were
indited by Mr. James R. Randall up
on the death of General T. J. Jackson.
The circumstances which occasioned
the poem were those : Gen. Jackson’s
troops, after a long and weary inarch,
were so much fatigued that when a halt
was ordered almost every m.n was a
sleep. The noble old Hero guarded
the camp alone that night:
'Twas in the dying of the day,
The darkness grew so still,
The drowsy pipe of evening birds
Was hushed upen the hill.
Athwart tire shadows of the vale
Slumbered the men of might,
As one lone sentry paced his round
To guard the camp that night.
A grave and solemn man was he,
>7ith deep and sombre brow,
The dreadful eyes seemed hoarding up
Some unaccomplished vow,
His wistful glance peered o’er the plpin
Beneath the starry light,
As with the murmured name of God
He watched the camp that night.
The future opened unto him
Its grand and awful scroll:
Manassas and the valley march,
Came heaveiug o’er his soul.
Richmond and Sharpsburg thundered by,
With that tremendous fight
Whic v gave him to the angel hosts
Who watched the camp that night. J
We mourn for him who died for us'
With one resistless moan.
While up the Valley of the Loud,
He marches to the throne,
He kept the faith of men and saints,
Sublime, and pure, and bright;
He sleeps, and all is well with him
IVho watched the camp that nigiit.
Brothers, the midnight of the cause
Is sltrouded in our fate ;
Tl. Cf.vLu Jiolln'a. 111) soil
With fire, and lust, and hate ;
Be strong, be valiant, be assured,
Strike home for Heaven and right !
The soul of Jackson stilks abroad
And guards the camp to-night!
QUEEIt JEPITAPIIS.
We have taken an interest in the
collection of queer epitaphs. Here is a
mite of the result of our labors :
In a churchyard near Hartford Con
necticut, is the following:
Here lies two babies as dead as nits,
He Lord lie kilt dem mit his ague (its.
When dey was t.oo good to live mit iue,
He took dem up to live mit He,
so lis did.
On a tombstone erected over th#
body of a young lady in Dorchester,
Massachusetts, is the following :
On the 21st of March,
Ood’s angels made a earch,
Around the door they stood ;
They took a maid,
It is said,
And cut her down like wood.
Near San Diego, California, a tomb
stone inscription thus reads:
This yere is sakrid to the unynory of
William Henry Skaraken, who came to
his death by being shot by a Colt’s re
volver—one old kind, brass mountid,
and of such is the kiudom of heavin.
The following comes from Ohio :
Under this sod
And under these tieas
Lieth the bod
y of Sohmion Peaso,
He’s not in this hole,
Cut only his pod ;
Re shelled out his soul
And went up tohis God.
An inscription on a tombstone in
East Tennessee concludes thus ;
She lived a wife of virtue au<J died
of the oholera morbus, caused by eat
ing groen fruit, in the hope of a blessed
immortality, at the early ago of 21
year 7 months and 1G days. Reader,
go thou and do likewise.
The following, which is suggestive to
coffee drinkers, is from a touibstouo in
Connecticut 1
Here lies, cut down like unripe fruit,
The wife of Deacon Amos Shut©,
She died of drinking too much coffee.
.Anny Dominy eighteen forty.
A tombstone ia Texas has the follow
ing inscription :
lie remained to the last a decided
friend and supporter to the Democratic
principles and measure. Blessed arc
tho dead who die in the Lord.
The following is from a cemetery in
Maine, nud was erected by the widow :
Sacred Ho the memory of James H.
R—m, who died August G, 1800. His
widow, who mourns as one who can be
comforted, aged 24 and possessing
every qualification for a good wife, lives
at——street, in this village.
Here is a good business like epitaph,
more than a match for the cool calcula
tion pf the “widow who can be com
forted.”
Here lies Jane Smith, wife of Thom
as Smith, marble cutter. This monu
ment was erected by her husband as a
tribute to her memory and a specimen
of his work. Monuments of the same
style $250.
From a “Book on Epitaphs, Quaint,
Curious and Elegani,” recently publish
ed in England, the following is selec
ted :
The necessity for rhymo is well illus
trated by the followiog touching epi
taph :
Under this stone, aged threescore & ten,
Lies the remainsif William Wood Hen.
N. B.—for Hen red Cock. Cock
wouldn’t come in a rhymo.
Epitaph :
Here lies John Bunn,
Who was killed by a gun,
Ilis name wasu’t Bunn, but his real name
was Wood,
But Wood wouldn’t rhyme with gun, and so
I thought Bunn would.
Another:
This little hero that lies here
Was conquered by the diarrhoer.
. a iJiji .Nr**raarkat
lies buried the two wives of Tom Sex
ton. Ou tho tombstone of one is the
following :
Here lies tlie body of Sarah Sexton —
She was a wife and never vexed one.
'I can’t say so much for the one ou the next
stone.
,In Westminster Abbey, on Sauuel
Foote, the comedian :
Here lies one Foote, whose death may thous
ands save,
For doath has new one foot within the
grave.
Here is a curious specimen, found in
the Old G ray Friars, Edinburg :
Here snug in grave my wife doth lie;
Now she is at rest and so am I.
The following is a beautiful instance
of conjugal affection.
Here lies ray dear wife, a sad slattern and
shrew;
If I said I regretted her, I should lie too.
()n a lawyer, in a churchyard in
Norfolk-: v **
UoDWoiks a wondow now and then,
He, though a lawyer, was an honest man.
In,£>t. Michael’s churchyard Gonvon
try, on a wife :
• She was—
• ffvH. -
But words are wanting
To say what •
Look what a wife should be,
And she was that.
Ou a talkative old maid (1750.)
Beneath this silent itone is laid
A noisy antiquated maid,
Who from her cradle talk'd till death,
And never before was out of breath.
Another Alleged Bov Murderer.
—The Shepardstown (West ’Virginia)
Register says, that Thomas Devonshire,
a colored boy, nino years of age, was
shot and killed by Ileury Moore, an.
other colored boy ten years of age, at
the residence of Mr. John Sheppard,
near that place, on the 31st of last
month. The hoys were playing in a
room, when suddenly the report of a
gun was heard, an£ the mother of De
vonshire hurried to the room and found
her son lying upon the floor shot
through the breasts, who expired in a
few moments. The gun fired belonged
to Mr. Sheppard, and had been standing
in the corner of the room loaded.—
Moore concealed himself for several
days, but came out to obtain food, and
was arrested,

A Smart Boy. —lt is said there is a
boy in Concord, New Hampshire, who
car. repeat the multiplication table
backwards, and he is only nine years
old.
We know that boy. We were never
in Concord, but we know him. We
lived next door to that boy when we
were a boy, and it is not so long ago
but that we remember him distinctly.
He always went to bed at eight o’clock,
and had a slight cough. He brushed
his hair back of his ears, and carried a
store handkerchief, and when ho played
marbles it was to win. fie always got
homo from school before we did, and
employed the interval in detailing to
his mother the “bolting” that boy ne~t
door was getting. And indeed we were
getting it, but there was no special in
terest in it for other folks. He was
the model boy, the boy our parents
used to point to, and speak of, in ming
led admiration and regret, while unfit
tine us for> anything harder than a poul
tice, He never ran away from school,
nor stole money, but ho us#d to throw
inud on old people when they wern’t
looking, and unselfishly throw the cred
it on us. And then seo that boy come
around into our yard with jam on his
bread. That was the last feather —that
wA the climax to all the sorrows our
young hearts knew. We could have
willingly forgiven everything else, but
that jam upsets us. It went right down
into our heart of hearts, and it rankles
there yet. It sent us into the house
bawling for jam, and getting it, but not
on our bread We rememeber that
with ghastly distinctness. —Danbury
Newt.
The “India-rubber bustle” is again
heard from. This time it was a Brook
lyn young lady who was thrown from
her carriage owning down the hill from
Prospect Park. She made jni net y‘ soven
and a half bounces in all, and was fin
ally rescued, by a book and ladder com
pany, from the top of a telegraph pole,
where she had stuck in attempting to
complete the ninety-eighth bounce.

—A Detroit woman called upon a fam

Suddenly she was taken dreadfully ill.
She said that she had no inonoy and
could iot go to the hospital, and they
would have to keep her through a run

out and try to reach the hospital; after
which she recovered with astonishing

Electricity an Antidote fob Pois
on.— On Wednesday, a son of Robert
Montgomery, two years of age, residing
at No. 31 Goodyear street, drauk *
quantity of laudanum, which had been
left carelessly in his way. He soon fell
into a Btupor, which was followed by
convulsions. Dr. Murry was sent for,
who called to his aid Drs. Caldwell and
Ogie. Electricity was applied for the
purpose of rousing the child from his
stupor, as no medicine could be admin
istered. The eleotrio current was
tinued for about two hours, when the
sinking energies of the child began to
return, and by Thursday morning he
was out of danger.— Balt. American.
A Brother’s and Sister’s Quarrel .
—A Princeton (Kan.) correspondent
of the St. Paul Press, under date of the
37th ult., writes : This community was
much shocked this morning upon hear
ing of a sad affair which occured last
evening (May 26th). in the family of a
respected citizen named Joseph H.
Townsend. It seems that one of his
boys, named Joseph, some thirteen
yoars of age, returned home from a
neighbor’s house, and full of misohief,
while seated by the stove amused him
self by throwing kernels of corn at fiis
eldest sister, Mabel, a girl of some six
teen years of age, who was sitting at
work. Somowhat augry after, awhile,
the girl threw a large pair of shears at
her brother, which unfortunately struck
him point foremost full in the left breast,
penetrating his thin clothing and bis
breast and heart, causing almost instant
death.
Bekcukr’s Last New Departure.—
Henry Ward Beecher has added another
mountain to bis already superabundant
notoriety by a recent sermon in which
be preached Universalism substanti
ally and took the ground that the scrip
tures do not afford support for the be
lief that after this lifo the soul takes an
unconscious vacation, awaiting a final
ingathering of all in the spirtual sphere;
and that there was no man who had
the slightest partical of good in him
but who might find a standing place in
Heaven, though by a sort of a specific
gravity the more or less good would
find different places in that future world.
He said : “I don’t believe a soul is goj
ing to be thrust away by that hand
that was pierced. I don’t believe that
love whichjshown in Christ is going to
throw away one soul with a germ of
good in it. And so I hope—l hope.

A singular marriage was recently
made by a fascinating lady school teach
er in a Kentucky country town, First
she rejected him; but he behaved with,
so much dignity under the mortification
of her refusal, neithor getting drunk
nor hating her, and he manifested so
many signs of affection, that she relent
ed and wrote him a note informing him
that she had reconsidered. The young
man, all aglow with happiness, hastened
to her side and insisted on immediate
marriage. But here an unlooked-for
obstacle intervened. Her schpol term
was but half out, and the stony-hearted
directors refused to cancel her engage
ment except at the expenso of forfeit
ure of the half term. The lover was
importunate. Finally the lady consent
ed to. compromise. She bounded into
the young man’s buggy and was driven
to Danville, where the knot was hastily
tied. Then she went back to bei school
and the groom went about his business
with the understanding that he was not
to sec her, or “pester” he r in any way,
until next July, when her term will b*
finished,
