For the Union.
butte TO THE MEMORY OF MAJOR GENERAL
ANDREW JACKSON
And thou ddst prove. where spears arc proved
In war, the bravest heart
Oh. ever the renowned and loved
Thou vert land there thou artn
CeuA LION.
requiem chant for the gallant dead
prayer fol- the spirits rest
Bring iairreis for the honored head,
And olive 10 lay ON his beast.
For wayrior sissps--and his work is done;-
Lett be knownby the booming gun.
He hath laid of his helmet Of steel;
HIS sWord is at rest in its sheath;
And the arrnor he wore In the field
Gives place to the man1ls Of deafAl
And the moUrnful roll ofthe muaied drum
froclams that the soldiers work is done.
The storms Of life, and the battles Blast,
And the din OF arms are hushed;
And the final victory gained at last.
And the last fierce fee is crushed;
For the warrior, sage, and statemans trust
Was firm in God, who enkindled our dust
He no more in our councils shall shine;
No shall his wisdom dictate;
Nor his sword fash again long hshne,
Nor his bosom with ardor slate;
For his work is done, and his tolls are past
Loper he fas--let it drop half mast
The veteraH died. as a Christian dies,
With hope in his Sarier1 God
And now on that brave old heart there lies
The heavy and fresh green sod
But his deeds will tell when his crumbling dust
From his frame shall fall, and his falchion rust.

TIL Y NOT Err, BOY.


WAC, when thine infant life was young,
Delighted, DER thy cradle hung,
With pity so0thed each childish moan,
And made thy little griefs her own
Who slecpless watch'd in hours of pa in,
Nor smiled till thou vert well again'
Who sorrowed from thy sight to part,
Aad lore thee, absent, on her heart?
Thy mother, BOY! How canst thou pay
Her tender care by night and day?
Who joined thy sports with cheerful air,
And joyad TO see thee strong and fair'
Who, with fond pride, to guest and friend,
Would still the darling child commend.
Whose teaIs in secret flowed like rain,
If Sin or woe thy life did stain'
Aud who with prayers unceasing sigh,
Besousht for thee a home on high?
Thy mother, boy! How canst thou pay
Heriireless love by night aud day.
Bear on thy brow the lofty smile
or upright duty, free from guile;
With earnest diligence restrain
I he word, the look, that gives her pain;
lf weary toll her path invade,
Come fond and fearless TO her aid;
Nerve thy young arm her steps TO guide;
IL fades her cheek, be near her side;
And by life of goodness nay
Her care and love, by night and day.
