TIE TRUE HEROINE.

1rbat was she like2 | cannot tell.
only know God loved her well.
Two noble sons her gray hairs blest,-
And he, their sire, was now at rest.
And why her children loved her so,
And called her blessed, all shall know:
She never had a selfish thought.
Nor valued what her hand had wrought.
She could be just in spite oFlove
And cherished hates she dwelt above;
10 sick-roems they that had her care
Said she was wondrous gentle there.
hwas a fearful trust, she knew,
To guide her young immortals through;
But Love and Truth explained the way,
And Piety made perfect day.
She taught them 70 be pure and true,
And brave, and strong, and courteous, too
She made them reverence silver hairs,
And tee the poor mans biting cares.
She won them ever to her side;
Home was their treasure and their pride:
It's food drink, shelter pleased them best,
And there they found the sweetest rest.
And often, as the shadows fell,
Aud twilight had attuned them well,
She sang OF many noble deed,
Aud marked with JOY their eager heed.
And most she marked their kindiing eyes
When telling of the victories
That made the Stars and Stripes a name,

the following from private letter
CAMP CALIFORNIA, VA, Dec. 18th, 1861.
My DEAR SIR: 1t is with feelings OF
sadness that | seat myself to perform a
most painful duty Almeron q. Bur-
dick is no morel He was taken i'll during
the past week, with measles, but was not
thought dangerously i'll up to yesterday
morning, when the physician said he
would recover without doubt. Not
withstanding this assurance we were fear
full he could not live, and believe Lieut..
Crosby wrote his father to that effect.
He died before noon yesterday, his dis.
ease having taken the form Of pneumonia.
While We deeply regret his loss, we are
not disposed to find fault with the ire
vocable decree of an all-wise Creator who
"doeth all things well.' He was buried
to-day, the entire regiment attending his
funeral. His interment was attended
with the proper military honors. First,
an armed escort of eighty men under
command of Corporal Stevens then the
corpse, enveloped in the Stars and Stripes,
fitting winding-sheet for one who so
nobly sacrificed the comforts of home, the
society Of friends, and finally, even life
itself, in the cause of his country,-then
followed the Company of which he was a
member, then the band. and following
the band the balance of the regiment
stationed according to rank. | assure
you it was solemn in tie extreme. The
dirge-like music, and the measured step
of the procession seemed to impress one
with solemn thoughts. Arrived at the
grave, the usual salute Of three vollies was
fired over it.
1t is but justice to his friends, as also
to our departed comrada to state, that he
was always punctual in the performance
of all his duties lie was never, think
heard to give utterance to profane or i'm.
proper language Of any sort, neither did
he complain. If ever any one enlisted
from motives of pure, dislnterested pat
riotism, he was that one. His parents
and numerous friends (for feel assured
be must have had many,) have our heart
felt sympathy in this their sad, unexpect
ed bereavement.
We feel that although the bullet, noI
steel inflicted the fatal wound, yet thC
wicked, designing demagogees who blind
| ly plunged our beloved country into thi.
terrible war by engaging in an unholy
armed crusade against the Government
which gave them birth, are just as much
responsible for his death as though he
had met it on the field of battle. His
friends too should bear IN mind that hi,
memory should be cherished the same a,
though he had fallen by the hand of the
enemy. Il.

The sweet, May birds sung then,-

The littlo woodland glen.
Now. all the blossoms are biighfed,
The wood birds have flown away.
And darkness and desolation
Broad over the valley grey.

Smiled out in the sunshine, then
Alas for the sweetness departed =

I resolved to do as he had advised me-

through the whole campaign, and still
followed him on his return. And since
then, there has never passed a day let

doubtless forgotten all about the outcast

him dearly, but secretly; for since our
first meeting always avoided recognition
by him.

"The dying speaker, as bright CLEAN
shot from her beautiful eyes, stretched out
her arms, as though she saw the shadowy
spirit of the departed man. The effort.
however, was her last; for, with gurg-
ling groan, crimson tide burst from her
mouth bearing with it into eternity her
redeemed. loving soul.
"For some time, despite the danger of

on her strange history. But at last

About midnight I procured, with
much peril spade and dark lantern, and
