All then these sister foes were weak and poor,
And linked their doubtful destinies in one;
The giant Tyranny was at the door;
But strong in Union, noble deeds were done
Mighty and rich and proud to-day they stand
But love with fear and poverty is fed,
And warning factions threaten the fair land

..DoNT DO 1T TILL 1 AM DEAD"

ron the day of the meeting of the Secession
lists at Kingston, Georgia, Revolutionary sol
der returned to his residence in Cobb county,
on the railroad, though his eyes were so dim
that he could not see well. He was told that
they were trying to get the people to dissolve or
secede from the Union. Whereupon he dropped
his withered face, and seemed to be in deep dis
tress for one or two minutes, after which he
raised up his head and with faltering voice
said: "Oh, don't do it till am dead" While
he uttered these words the large tears chased
each other down his worn cheeks. He was told
that great number Of men would try to pre-
vent them; to which he replied "Don't let
them do that till am dead.--Southern paper.
AN OLD SOLDIERS PRAYER IN THE "oRsIs."
They spoke of 10 within the crowded car,
And the old soldier heard as one who dreams,
Threats Of disunion talk Of civil war,
And glib discussion Of secession schemes;
They saw hm raise his feeble, trembling hands,
And bow, i'm bitter grief his aged head.
He only answered to their low demands
''Don't let them do itl'-"NOt till | am deadP"
Ye know not how we suffered how We wrought
To rear the fair foundation ye would spoil;
In famine, cold and pestilence we fought,
With wounds and weanness. and pain and toll;
Oh, was our triumph OF 80 little worth,
SO vain the blood we spent--the tears we shedy
Go, rare the glorious structure to the earthl
But do not do it till am deadl
