A Visit to the Great Wall of China

Perhaps they felt grateful that we had, atany

The MEMORY OF THE DEPARTED,

MY thoughts are with the dead,
Who from earth dwelling places have departed;
With them the light of life and joy have aed
Zone are the joys their presence once i'm parted,
Leaving the sad survivors oken-hearted,
ln bitterness of spirit to dep'ore
The loss OF those who will return no mere.
We miss them at the hearth,
low sad it is to see their empty places!
10 hear no more their thrilling tones of mirth;
10 see no more their deer familiar faces,
mo more to meet their smiles or their embraces,
Such grief fthe heart must silently endure;
For such the hand of time ca never cure,
We miss them when we meet
WIN absent friends, back to their home returning
When we unite with them in concOurse sweet;
As cheerfulIy the evening fire is burning,
We Miss them then, andwith heart.sick
yearning
We long to have them join our sweet com.
munioas,
As IN the days gone by at such reuuiens.
We miss them when we part
WEh the departing-when with anxious feeling
To some far home we see friend depart,
Memory, with her mysterious revealing,
Is busy at our troubled hearts, unsealing
Affections treasure-house, the sacred store
vi love for those we shall behold no more.
We miss them at the hour
OF solemn twilight, when the day is closing;
Then memory comes, and with reslslless
power,
Awakens thoughts that long had been reposing
Within the hearts deep cells, to view disclosing
The deep regrets aud silent griefs of years,
Till nature seeks and find relief in tears.
| Off by single word,
! Spoken in Ihoug ghIlssness, the strong emotion,
| Witbio the hearts deep fountains have been
! stirred,
And thoughts and feelings rise into commotion,
AS when tempest sweeps across the ocean,
"StrIking the electric chain that darkly binds"
With hidden sympathies all human minds
Stronger than death thou art,
Oh memory! thou with watchful care ri keepin Q
The dearest treasure of the human heart,
The momory Of our lost ones who are sleeping
Where silently the dews of heaven are weeping,
| 10 memory's glass each dear familiar face,
Unchanged by time distinctly we can trace.
| A mighty power is thine,
And vast the empire which thou hast created
In every human heart thou hast shrine;
| To thee the hearts best gifts are dedicated,
And will be with devotion unabated
While Time remains, and Death retains his
place
AS the destroyer of the human race.

Flank Movements

The importance of flank movements is likely
to receive more attention-and deserves more
in connection with the present, than with
any previous struggle on record. The reason
10 that besides being of greater necessity strs.
logically, these movements are extraordinarily
facilitated BY the open frontier separating the
loyal from the rebellious States, and still more
by the easy accessibility of every point on the
Southern coast. Plainly, too, these facilities
are wholly to the advantage Of the North

neutralized our advantage; but on the contrary.
II has increased our relative superiority, as it
has matured our strength of attack.
e'd'eui tue WnOlo pIan OF The
war resolves itself iato simple process of out.
fanking the Confederate forces. And the
points to serve as the base OF operation have
been SO chosen that the process may be the
most efeclual, at the same time that it involves
the least expense OF force.
Price has accomplished more by skilIful ad-
vance and retreat than Beauregard at Manassas,
in ais mammoth Notifications. Bowling Green
and Manassas, outflanked, are nothing, and
the men that hold them are helpIsssly in our
Power-and that at no very dear cost. The
whole strife will be decided, if we succeed
here, for the South can neither raise a second
army, nor compensate her loss by fresh levies,
and, if she could. it would avail her nethiag.
There caR be no question but that eur active
force now is the field is abuudanlly able 10 hem
IN the Southern army beyond the possibility Of
escape; and this done, all is done. If, however,
the engagements are petty and scattered, and
the beaten enemy runs away, it is only milking

made by the rebels to bring about this sort of a
warfare, though without much chance of suc.
cess.
