requirements of a military camp.
The annexed Farewell to the soldiers
is from the pen of lady. 1t breathes
the true spirit of patriotism
TO the Cambria Guards
BY CATALPA.
FAREWELL proud soldiers, true and bravel
Friends check the tear, and hush the 'tNo"-
Or take them back, and with smile
Give you their blessing-bid you go.
For who would know coward heart,
a soul that shrinks from duty's cali,
That fingers far behind the brave,
Winning no blessing, sharing all
Friends love you better though they weep
To think Of how the hours will creep,
Slow, slow, as drags the heightened chain
That binds the prisoner to his pain
But they will pass, the snow-whte clouds,
That chase each other oer the sky;
The flowers that open, bloom, and fade,
VIII mark them surely creeping by.
Each tick tick tick ] the cid clock gives
VIII say "another second gone'-
While every mark the shadows make
Heralds another creeping on.
Heaven sure will guard the good and brave
Who seek their country's name to save,
To hand to unborn millions down
The blessings they themselves have known.
Full many heart viii fondly dream
Of camp, with white tents here and there;
And hope will many a picture weave
OF welcome home, to tighten care.
Friends, when the pale moon through her veil
Looks on the land and murmuring sea,
viii kneel and if they ever prayed,
VIII pray, brave men, for each of thee:
Pray that the God of Battle keep,
Pray that the angels guard thy sleep,
Pray that your arm be strong to save
Your country from dishonor's grave.
Go forth to-day, assured that we
Shall wait and watch thy bravo careers
Be proud of every laurel won,
For every fall fathers tear.
Go forth, return with badge of peace,
With Flag unfurled in Freedom light;
The traitors vile palmetto tree"
Be trampled in oblivion's night.
Go FORTH send you, noblest best
Y our heart, your arm will brave the test
Be first to shout, ''Were freemen, free
We've scars-our Flag and yictoryT'
We Will publish list of the officers
and men composing the company perhaps
next week. =
THE BURGLARY LAST WEEK-In our
last issue we made brief mention of an at
tempt made to rob the premises of Mr..
David Pryce, an old and highly respected
farmer residing about a mile from town
We have since received fuller particulars,
from which it appears that terrible fight,
resulting in the complete overthrow of the
midnight despoiler, was enacted The
bold villain, whoever he was, made his
entrance into the house at about the hour
Of two in the morning. Mr.. p, who was
asleep at the time, soon became aware of
the presence Of somebody in his room, and
arose from bed. He was met by stun
ming blow from a bludgeon in the hands
of the burglar, which nearly prostrated
him. Recovering himself, however, he
seized chair, and then commenced a
fierce struggle. Blows were given and
received quite freely on both sides, but
the burglar was at length obliged to give
ground Mrs. Pryce, who came to the as
sistance Of her husband at about this
iucture, with lighted candle in her hand, |
was prostrated by blow from the assail-
ant, and the light put out In the con-
fusion which ensued, the burglar succeed
ed in making his escape through a win
dow, in his haste carrying sash and all |
with him. He left behind his cap a sort
of deprecated "skull-cover," which is the
only clue to his identity.
Mr.. Pryce was severely cut up about
he head and shoulders, and Mrs. Pryce |
'eceived heavy blow above the left eye.
Their injuries were promptly dressed,
however, and they are now recovering
As the burglar probably received many
hrewd Ecks in the encounter, and as he
secured no booty whatever, he has only
lis labor and bruises for his pains. We
rope he may be arrested and punished as
le deserves
