Close up tho Ledger, Timel
Slowly and sadly, but let it be.
Mournfully passeth by the year;
What are the records for you and me
Left by the falling fingers herel
What for passion, what for love
What for avarice and crime 2
What for hope and the Heaven above?
What Of the Ledger, Time?
Close up the Ledger, Timel
Many name, for good or i'll,
Fills to the margin your blotted SCROLL
Many high and naughty will,
Many low but humble soul;
Yet one page to each is given,
Marking the changing path we climb,
Holding the balance of He'll or Heaven;
What of the Ledger, Time?
Close up the Ledger, Timel
Say, are we creditors for aught;
Have we a store of noble deeds,
Springing from high and generous thought,
Such as our fallen brother needs?
Have we laid up for coming years
Words to wave in funeral rhyme
Names IudI llColA up SIatSIul ISdIS
What of the Ledger, Time2
Close up the Ledger, Time
Say what promise hope has drawn
Say what drafts stern truth has paid
Say what bankrupt hopes have gone
In the grave with memory laid.
Say if the heart has kept its own,
Gathering beauty with lure and lime ?
Say what fabrics are overthrownl
What of the Ledger, Time?
Close up the Ledger, Timel
Hark! the knell of the year goes by;
Have run out my golden sand
Where shall be when the next shall die ?
Where shall the soul within me stand ?
Naught beyond may the Ledger tell,
Naurht be known but in guilt and crime !;
Listen hear the New Years bell
Shut up the Ledger, Timel

pss- The photograph was put to novel
use lately. A London house wishing to
purchase particular quality of raw six,
samples of which had been received, sent
to their correspondent in Japan photo
graph of the original package received,
showing the style of the skcin or hank,
and the pecuharities of Its twisted fabric
The japanese merchants, seeing the faith
full representation of the original, at once
declared what the silk was, and its place
of growth and manufacture.

we begin to see that the London Times
thinks the "Mashville was right in burn

ants and hunky boys, unless Captain
Wilkes arrests the Trent and keeps a

turn our left flank and to reach;the railroad
leading hence iH the direction of Winchester.
To do this, he extended his lines, which he
was enabled TO do by reason of his great num-
bers. This was unfortunate for us, as ii re-
quired corresponding extension of our own
lines TO prevent his extreme right from out
hanking us-a movement on our part which
weakened the force of our resistance along
the whole line oc battle, which finally extend
ed over space of two miles, 1t also render
ed it the more difficult to bring up reinforce
meuts, as the further the enemy extended his
right, the greater the distance our reserve
forces had to travel to counteract the move
ment.
This effort to turn our flank was pressed
with great determination for five long, weary
hours. during which the tide of battle ebbed
and flowed along the entire line with alter
nate fortunes The enemy's column contin-
ued to stretch away to the left like huge
anaconda, seeking to envelope US within its
mighty folds and crush US TO death; and at
one time it really looked as if he would
sucreed.
The moment he discovered the enemy's or
der of battle, Gen. Beauregard, it is said, dis
patched orders to Gen. Ewell, on our ex-
treme right, to move forward and turn his
left or rear. At the same time he ordered
Generals Jones, Longstreet and Bnoham, Oc
cupying the centre of our lines, to Cooperate
in this movement, but not to move until Gen.
Ewell had made the attack. The order to
Gen. Ewell unfortunately miscarried. The
others were delivered, but as the movements
of the centre were to be regulated entirely
by those on the right, nothing was done at
all. Had the orders to Gen. Ewell been re-
ceived and carried out, and our entire force
brought upon the field. we should have de-
stroyed the enemy's army almost literally
Attacked in the front, on the nank, and in
the rear, he could not possibly have escaped,
