STONEWALL JACKSOIT.
He 8 eeps nil quiet and cold
Beneath the soil that gave him birth ;
Then break his halite-brand in twain,
And lay it with him in the earth I
No more t midnight shall he urge
His toilsome march among the pines;
Nor hear upon the .morning air
The war shout of his charging lines.
Cold is the eye whose meteor-gleam
Flashed hope on all within its light;
And still the voire that, trumpet toned,
Rang through the serried ranks of fight.
No more for him shall cannons park,
Or tents gleam while upon the plain;
And where his camp-fires blazed of yore
Brown reapers laugh amid the grain !
No more above the narrow bed
Shall sound the tread of marching feet,
Tne rifle volley, and the clash
Os sabres, when the foemeu meet.
-And. though the winds of autumn rave,
And winter snows fall thick and deep
Above his breast—they cannot move
The quiet of his dreamless sleep.
We may not'raise a marble shaft
Above ths heart that now is dust;
But Nature, like a mother fond,
Will ne’er forget her sacred trust.
Young April, o'er his lowly mound,
Shall shake the violets from her hair;
And glorious June, with fervid kiss,
Shall hid the roses blossom there.
And round about, the droning b' e.
With drowsy hum, shall come and go;
While west winds, all the livelong day,
Shall murmur dirges soft aiid low.
The warrior’s stormy fate Is o’er,
The mab iglil i loom hath passed away;
And, like a glory from the East,
Breaks the first fight of Freedom’s day !
And w littt-winged Peace, o’er nil the land,
Broods like it dove upon her nest;
While iron war, with slaughter gorged,
At length hath laid'him down to rest.
And where we won our onward way
With lire and steed—through yonder wood,
The black bird w histles, and the quail
Gives answer to her timid brood
Yet oft in dreams his fierce brigades
Shall see the form they followed far,
Still leading ill the furthest van-*-
A landmark in the clouds of war!
And oft when white haired grandsires tell
Os bloody struggles past and gone,
The children at their knee w-il'l hear
How Jackson led his columns on!
Fetroleum—What It Is.
retroleuru litis, within tm incredibly short
space of time, made fortunes for many, while it
has bankrupted as many mote. The name it
self-is fiam the Latin petra, a rock, and oleum ,
oil, being in fact “ rock oil,” deriving its name
from being found in the rocks, or oozing from
them. In its natural state its composition is
indefinite, consisting of various oily hydro
carbons, holding in solution paraffine and solid
bitumen, or asphaltum. In some scientific
works, the fluid petroleum is described under
the name of “naptha oil,” whilst that having a
large proportion of asphalfum is known as
“bitumen.” The latter is comparatively of
little value, but the fluid petroleum, since the
discovery of its manifold and important uses,
has risen to be one of the most prominent
staples. TheTighler oil cleansed and purified,
has come into almost universal request as an
illuminator, surpassing all others, except gas,
in brilliancy, and also possessing the merit of
cheapness. The secret of produc ng gis itself,
equal in illuminating power to the best coal
gas, produced with much greater ease and at
less expense, has been discovered and pul into
practice; whilst, to show the capabilities of
petroleum as an illuminator, tlie solid res dium
of the refining process is made into paraffine
candles. .Asa lubricator for wheels m and ma
chinery the heavier qualities of petroleum have
came into general use. Paint oils and varnish
are made front it, and the benzine is. us and as a
substitute for turpentine. I’eirolized soap is a
favorite toilet article. The most beautiful and
durable colors and shades now in wear are ob
tained from the waste petroleum alter refining.
It has been used with success as a substitute
for fish oil in tanning. For generations it has
proved a- valuable .medicine, applied both ex
ternally nnd internally. In fact there seems to
be no limit to its usefulness, for new applica
tions of it are frequently discovered.
