THE muflled drums sad roll has beat
The Soldiers last tattoo!
No more on lifes parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few;
On Fame's eternal camping-ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round,
The biyouac of the dead.
No rumor of the foes advance
Now swclls upon the wind,
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
OF loved ones LEFT behind;
No vision of the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms,
No braying horn nor screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms
Their shivcrcd swords are red with rust,
Their plumcd heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner tralcl in dust,
Is now their martial shroud.--
And plentcous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms by battle gashcd
Are free from anguish now.
The ncighing troop, the Aashing blade
The bugle's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonadc,
The din and shout are past
Nor wars wild note nor glorys peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more may feel
The rapture Of the fight.
Like the fierce Northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumphyc 10 gain,
Came down the serricd foe
Who heard the thunder of the fray
Break o'cr the field beneath,
Knew well the watchword of tina, day
Was victory or DEATH
Long did the doubtful conflict rage
Ger sll that stricken plain,
For never ficrccr fight did wage
The vcngcful blood of Spain;
And still the storm of battle blew,
Still swelled the CORY tide
Not long. our stout old chieitain knew,
Such odds his strength could bide.
Twas at that hour, his stern command
Called to a martyrs grave
The flower of his own loved land
The nations flag TO save.
BY rivers of their fathers gore
His irst-born laurcls grew,
And well he deemed the sons would pour
Their lives for glory too.
Full many mothers breath HIS swept
Der Angastura's plairl,
And long the plying sky hath wept
Above its mouiier' d slain.
The ravens scres.m or eagles flight
Or shepherds pensive lay,
Alone now wakes each solemn height
Tha. frowncd Ger that dread fray.
Sons Of the Dxlll and Bloody Groundi
We mus not slumber there,
where stranger steps and tongues rcssuad
Along the needless air;
Your own proud lands heroic sol
Should be your filter grave;
She claims from war his richez spoil
The ashes Of the bravo
Thus meath their psTent turf they rest
Far from the gor, field,
Borne 10 a Spartan mothers breast
On many bloody shield
The sunshine Of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The hero's sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and saintcd dead,
Dear as the blood We gave;
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The kerbage Of your grave,
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps,
Or honor points the hallowcd spot
Where valOr proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstreIs ToiecfHl stone
In deathless so1g shall tell,
When many a vanished year hath Gown;
The story how We fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters blight
Nor times remorseless doom,
Can dim one ray Of holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb.

Douglas in North. h.Carolina.

We make the following extract from the Wash
ington correspondence Of Forney's Philadelphia
Press:
"In North Carolina, the canvass for Douglas, al
though begun at late day, is conducted most Wig
orous.y. The entire Democratic delegation in Con-
gress, except Hon. Warren Winslow, who seems to
have completely subsided since the adjournment of
Congress, have taken ground for Breckenridge, but
the champions of Douglas include of the ablest
Democrats in the State. Fl. W. Miller, R. P. Dick,
Thomas Settle, late Speaker of the North Carolina
House of Commons, John D. Hyman, D.. X. McRae,
late consul to Paris, Quentin Busbee and DR.. Kean,
late Breckenridge elector, actively in the field.
The Bell men are led 5y Hon. Jno. A. Gmer, Hon.
W. n H. Smith, former administration fusion can
didate for Speaker of the House of Representatives
of the United States, and ex-Sccretary of the Navy
Graham. Ny best information leads to put
down this State as certain for Bell by large ma
jority"
The correspondent is mistaken as to Mr. Wins
low That gentleman is actively engaged in the
canvass for Breckinridge and Lane.
And now. as this correspondent has given black
Republican Forney some idea of the Douglas
strength in North Carolina and appears to felcitate
himself with the expectation that the State aci cote
for Bell, will furnish in reply some information
as to the Brecknridge strength in North Carolina.
! In the first placsboth our Senator'S Messrs Cling
man and Bragg, are for breckenridge. In the Sec
ond place all the Democratic members of the House
of Representatives, Messrs. Craige, Rufin, Wins
low, and Branch, are for Breckinridge; and all of
them, Senators and Representatives. are in the field
working for the ticket In the third place all the
Democratic papers in the State, with the exception
of two, (not including the Newbern Progress, which
is not party paper its Editor declares, but is
nevertheless for Douglas are for Breckenridge; and
these two papers have recently been established as
Douglas campaign papers. ! In the fourth and last
place, such Democrats as the following are working
for the Breckenridge ticket A. NJ Scales, E. G.

ters would enjoy much more their walks and rides,
for some familiar acquaintance with those graceful
forms that meet them at every turn And, doubt
less all Of us, employing the information which this
book contains, would be both surprised and delight
ed at the new interest we should take in the works
of nature around u.s. and perhaps more devoutly
thankful for the rich provision which, we should
find the Author of nature has made for our service
and enjoyment
While this tract is intended for all, and useful to
all orders Of people, it is OF especial value to the
planter. To him it is invaluable. Too few OF that
class of our citizens have taste or time for the study
Of botany to any extent; and those even who have
both, commonly care little for the merely technical
information which only most treatises on that sub
ject furnish. But this gives exactly the information
that such persons need and DESIRE and in style at
tractive to everybody, and which none we think,
can fail to profit by. Surely every farmer ought to
know thoroughly, the characters and uses Of all
his trees, and Of the shrubs that abound in his
fields; and there are not many who now know
them so well that they not learn from this vol
ume much that is new to them, and especially of
their economical uses. We commend 1t to them
most heartily, and as of inestimable value

JUDGE DOUGLAS is KISSED AGAN.-Beautiful girls
are grown in Ontario county, New York, near Cliff
ton Springs. A bevy Of them were among the lis
teners to Judge Douglas speech. After he had re-
tired from the stand he went taking his fellow citi
zens by the hand In the crowd, eager to pay their
respects, were couple of young ladies, one Of
whom said to the other, "Come on En-, am go,
ing to kiss Doug glas" At length as Judge D. took
her by the hand, she turned and gave him hearty
kiss, which compliment was promptly returned
The young lady was Loudly cheered Judge D. re
mained at the hotel until nearly sunset, when he
returned to the residence of his mother who, in her
declining years, looks proudly upon her darling
son.-Er. paper.
This kissing business will be fatal to Judge D.
Mr.. Clay traversed the country in 1884, was kissed
most extensively by the ladies' and then beaten fol
President. Let Douglas beware! The precedent
is against him. Judge D., who is gallant gentle
man, no doubt mentally exclaims-for remember
Mrs. D. is not to know any thing about this kiss
ing
Oh! that the rosy girls had but one mouth,
That might kiss them all, from North to South.
