The Faded Jacket of Gray-
The neiglt of the iron horse and
the song ot the spindle mingle mer
rily, and on eagle wing the new
South sweeps to a great and glori
ous future; while in iter weeds with
sad lave and bowed heart the old
South bends lovingly over the sn
ored ruins of a bravo bitter past.
But this south is still the south,
and tiie grief ol the old shall never
be torgoitor in the grandeur of the
new, but between t .to two there
hangs a sweot, memorial which
binds our heart to tho past, e’en
while our hands Imilil the fitnre.
Tie t ided jacket of gray! Tho
violet’s breath is not sweeter than
the memories fay which it islmllowcd;
the shimmering stars are not more
splendid Ilian the glory amid which
it. was folded] Bring it forth to
day! With gentle hearts in genllo
hands smooth out the precious
folds! A thing inanimate, it yet
speaks with most eloquent tongue.
Its soiled front tolls of the dust, of
righteous battle and its ragged
edges voice the cruel sears of vuu
islu-d veterans, It tells the solemn
but grand story of thousands of
bright swords which sprang from
their scabbards at the call of duty.
It tells of the fiery charge—the
stubborn tight,—the bleeding hero—
the dead patriot—the adroit retreat
—the muffled drum—tho sable
plume nodding above these Godlike
men gave, and gladly gave, all that
is best in life, save honor and life
itselt, for liberty] Every button
has its memory, both dark and
bright; every seam images some pa
triot's dating deeds, its very silence
is the pathos of the honored (loud!
In this land of the South, tho Fa
ded Jacket of Gray is a common
heritage freighted with a common
woe. It hangs alike in the hut on
the hillside and in tho mansion of
the city, in many, alas! how many
homes is it hung upon the vacant
chair never more to grace the form
which long ago filled a Southern
soldier’s grave! Its rustle is the
orphans' plaintive cry and o'er its
hies ing and its blight is breathed
ill tli widow's prayer.
Faded and worn ! Yes, hut the
gaudiest hue which t nts the arch of
Heaven is ii6t lfiorc bright than this
same dim shade which dims our eyes
to-day, and tire tooth of time but
makes us nearer and dearer the good
and true which its newness proudly
decked.
< >ld and threadbare ! What mat
ter? Honor wore it, love folded it
away, grief stands sentinel! Sad,
sweet symbol; old but still young,
worn and yet new, you live in the glo
ry of a grand principal immortal as the
white winged seraphs which circle the
< ireat White Throne !
Look at it, and the majestic form of
Jackson rises to view—Look at it and
the calm noble face of Lee peers
kindly upon you from amongst the
buttons and the braid ; Mother, look
at it: and the pale lace of your dear
son comes back from a soldier’s grave ;
Soil, gaze upon it and the honored
lorm of your dead father seems to rise
from the earth ; Wife, look upon it,
and the loud husband who exchanged
it lor a sluoud is once more before
you ; Sister, look at it, and once
again you seem to see the gentle face
of your loved and long lost brother!
Oh, murdered Hope, oh, blessed
Memory! lie they living or dead,
all honor to the men who wore the
Failed Jacket of Gray. Palsied be
the hand that would strike a single
star from the crown of their ever
brightening fame !
Nor biv.vei for a brighter hand,
Noi brighter laud bail a case more grand,
Nor cause a chief like Lee!
The Drummer.
T. J. Mckcy, tlio fraud the Repub
licans have seated in the House, was
once deputy surveyor at Nebraska
City, Neb., where he stole a lot of dry
goods from tlie store of Hall ik Bax
ter, and tried to murder a clerk for de
manding payment. Subsequently,
under the threat of suit, he paid for
the goods, and left Nebraska City,
leaving many debts. He is regarded
there as a scoundrel ot the deepest
dye. He went to South Carolina in
1860, and, after the war, identified
himself with the carpet-bag brigade
and went in for stealing.
They we;o talking about tho compar
ative readiuebs ol the sexen to obligej ono
another, who Jones employed this illus
tration: A man walking along in tho
streets finds ft cigar in his.pocket, but no
match. Ho meets another inun with n
lighted cigar, ships him, asks for a light
gets it unit goes on. Now, do you sups
pose ono woman Would do that an -
oth- r?
The south doc > not grow enough pro
visions for home use, despite tho ttd/
vance made in that direction. So far
this season sli" has drawn on the north
for wheat to the value of $55,000,0ff,
corn, $50,000,000, and provisions, $72,-:
000,000. Total. $177,000,000,
No one imagined how vast a number
of deer still remained in the swamps of
Louisiana until the high water of tlio
present season drove them from their im
penetrable retreats. Thousands of them
have crossed the river in tho immediate
vicinity of Natchez.
The faro, bunko and other bad
men of St. lajuis declare that if they
nre driven to the wall by persecution,
they will become candidates for the
-date legislature. St. Louis had bet
ter pause.
Sarah Wasn’t There.
Charley Slia#, of tho Detroit
opera hou-e, was grinning at the
window of tho box-office iho other
day when in walked a chap with
an agricultural bronze in his face
and asked:
Does any one perform here?
Oh, yes.
This afternoon'?
No—to night.
1 Low much to see. ’em
Well 1 can give you a seat for a
half and bar and you can hold your
girl oil your lap.
\\ ouldti’l anybody laugh?
Not much! \Y{‘, don't allow niiv
laughing in this house.
Well, maybe we‘ll conic.—Has
this theatre ever been burned up?
N ever.
Any danger of fire on the stage?
Not a bit.
Any pickpockets around?
None.
Does anybody peddle lemonade?
No.
Any prize packages given out?"
No.
Take half a dollar with a holo in
it?
Yes.
What kind of a play is it?
It's tragedy.
Tragedy! Then that lays me
oul] Sarah was to a circus last year
where some ono hit a fellow who
crawled under tho canvass with a
neck yoke, aud she fainted so dead
away that they had to unhitch her
corset and jura off her shoes Lot her
see a play where fellers are jobbing
with pitchforks and sticking each
other with swords, and she'll tum
ble kerplunk and st, >p tho show
dead still, I hope you will do well
and all trial, out I don't bring no
Surah to see no tragedy and don't
you forget it! She fainted on me
once, and my batr turned gray at
the rate of a bushel a minute.
Something to Stir the Boys-
Ifvrfe in Something that may stir
the boys who think because they
have not rich parents they can ac
complish nothing. The great men
ot tho world have ottou arisen from
the humblest beginning,
Virgil was tho son oi a potter,
Milton was the sen ol a beriven
or.
Demosthenes was llio son of a
on tier.
Shakespeare was tho son of a
woolstapler.
Robert Burns was a plowman in
Ayers hire.
Cardinal AVolsey was tho sou of
a pork butcher,
Oliver Grom ivoll was the son of a
London brewer.
Whitfield was the son of an inn
keeper at Gloucester.
Columbus was tho son of a wea
ver and a weaver bimseif,
Benjamin Franklin was a print
er.
Roger Sherman was a watch
maker.
William Oarey was a shoemaker,
Horace Greeley was a printer,
Andrew Johnson was a [tailor,
Abraham Lincoln was a llat-boat
man.
Daniel Webster was tho son of
a farmer, and worked on the farm
till ho was seventeen.
Tho list might be continued in
definitely.
Gentlemen of tho jury, said a
blundering counsel, iu a suit about
a lot of hogs, there were just tnirty
six in the drove, —I‘loase remember
the fact—thirty-six hogs; just three
times as many as there is in that
jury box, gentlemen. That counsel
didn't gain his case.
