A morn of hopeful victor.
Awake, my countrymen, with me.
Redeem the honor which you lost,
With any blood, at any cost 4.
l ask not how the war began,
Nor how the quarrel branched and ran
To this dread height The wrong or right
Stands clear before Gods faultless sight.
| only feel the shameful blow,
| only see the scornful foe,
And vengeance burns in every vein
To die, or wipe away the stain.
The war-wse hero of the West,
Wearing his glories as a crest
OF trophies gathered in your sight,
Is arming for the coming fight.
Full well his wisdom apprehends
The duty and its mighty ends;
The great OCCASION Of the hour,
That never lay in human power
Since over Y orktown's tented plain
The red cross fell, nor ruse again.
My humble pledge of faith | lay,
Dear comrade of my schoolboy day,
Before thee, IN the nation 5 view
And if thy prophet prove untrue,
And from our country's grasp be thrown
The sceptre and the starry crown,
And thou and all thv marshalled host
Be baffled, and in ruin lost.
Oh . let me not outlive the blow
Tina seals my country's overthrow
And, lest this woful end come true,
Men of the North, turn to you.
Display your vaunted flag once more,
Southward your eager columns pour
Sound trump and fife and rallying drum
From every hill and valley come.
Old men, yield up your treasured gold;
Can liberty be priced and sold7
Fair matrons. maids, and tender brides,
Gird weapons to your lOverr' sides:
And, though your hearts break at the deed,
Give the,l our blessing and God speed
Then point them to the field of fame,

And when the ranks are full and strong,
a vast result of care and skill,
Obedicnt to the masters will
And your young hero draws the sword,
And gives the last commanding word
That hurls your strength upon the foe
Oh let them need no second blow.
Strike, as your fathers struck of old,
Through summers heat and winters cold
Through pain. disaster, and defeat;
Through marches tracked with bloody feet;
Through every ill that could befall
The holy cause that bound EN- all

Strike as they struck to make you free /.

Another Lie Exposed.

The Boston Journal recently published state
ment to the effect that several Yankee shoema-
kers, who had been employed in Stanton, Va,
were driven away from the place after being i'm
prisoned, ETC. Mr.. g. S. Raymond, late foreman
of the Staunton Shoe Factory, who is also a
New Highlander, has the honor and moral cour-
age to refute this gratuitous SANDER. He pub
fishes card in the Journal, in WHICH he says
that the party referred to 'swere not interfered

the earth with pail of darkness, as dense and

Twas dark as midnight! The trees, whose
limbs moaned and sighed piteously, were rudely
tossed about, and ever and anon huge masses OF
mutilated timber fell to the ground Before an
open window stood a beautiful girl; her glossy
ringlets waved like streamers to the passing
wind;i her exquisite form, which bore the i'm
press of nobleness mate, was splendidly erect,
and her flashing eyes, fuh Of excited lustre, shone
brighter still through the impenetrable darkness.
Proudly she stood defyiug the tempest in its
wrath. See her rosy lips separate like leaflets

effort she screams out at the top of her voice:

these lying telegraph reports into an apprehen

to pause and consider. Shall we enter upoE an
Abolition crusade? Shall we undertake, as the
bloodthirsty Republican press of this city de-
mand, to ''wipe out slavery" throughout the

millions of dollars, and throwing away tens of
thousands of valuable lives, and bringing caiam-

The Soldiers Song.

'Tis little you good people know,
What we poor soldiers undergo,
When called upon to take up arms,
To guard Virginia from all harms
At break of day the morning gun,
At reveille, with fife and drum,
To break the soldiers sweet repose,
He rouses up, puts on his clothes.
The sergeant comes and goes about,
Saying, "hurry, hurry boys, turn out"
In front and rear he forms line G
His accoutrements and sword do shine.
Eyes right, eyes left. STEADY" the word.
The Captain then presents his sword;
The sergeant then takes out his roll ~.----
Our names are called and absence told. g3C
Sometimes young upstarts do command e1
With coats laced up and sword in hand,
They talk and act as if they were
Some King, or Prince, or Emperor.
Sometimes our off GERS, bad officers are,
Wear out their men for want of care, aly~
And bring them to desperate end, .e.aus
And bury them in distant land,
Where they have relations near
To shed sympathizng tear,
Or nurse them on dying bed,
Or bury them when they are dead.
Sometimes We lay on the cold ground
Where there's no shelter to be found;
In sometimes rain and sometimes snow,
Where stormy winds and tempests blow
But the surgeon is man of skill,
And every day he gives pill.
And if that pill does not act well,
He'll curse and damn our souls to hell. z-,
In Harpers Ferry we have plan Gg EsD
To soberize drunken man gIt arrlss
Well have him gagged, we'll have him bucked, 3
And after all we'll have him ducked -,
As to our gr1b, we get enough, no3eTD
Although our beef is very tough;
But as to that we won't complain
We hope to get good beef again. ~
We have a tall Lieutenant here, o-rf,3
Who to soldiers too severe
He'll punish them-there's nc defence,
He's guilty of the same offence.

NOW.

Arise for the day is passing,
While you lie dreaming on;
Your brothers are cased in armor.
And forth to the fight are gone;
Your place in the ranks awaits you;
Each man has part to play;
The past and the future are nothing
In the face of the stern to-day.
Arise from your dreams of the future
Ofgaining hard fought field;
OF storming the airy fortress;
Of bidding the giant yield;
Your future has deeds of glory,
Of honor, (God grant it mayD
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or needed as now, to-day.
Arise! If the past detain you,
Her sunshine and storms forget;
No chains so unworthy to hold you
As those of a vain regret;
Sad or bright, she is hfeless ever;
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save to learn the lesson
Of a nobler strife to-day.
Arise for the hour is passing;
The sound that you dimly hear,
Is your enemy marching to battle,
Rise rise! for the foe is near!
Stay not 20 brighten your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last;
And, from dreams of coming battle,
You will waken and find it past.

GREATNESS. AL greatness consists in tbis-in
being alive to what is going on around one; in
living actually; in giving voice to the thought

ment; in being the concretion, the result of the
Influences of the present world. In no other

anything but his own disposition, will waste his
