The Empty Sleeve.

By DIX. g. ". BAGBY.
Tom, old fellow, grieve to gee

But you don't mind it at all
You swear you've a beautiful stump,
And laugh at ID It tmnable ball
Tom, knew you we're always trump,
A good right arm, nervy hand,
A wrist as strong saplin2 oak,
Buried deco ia the Malvern sand-
To laugh at that is a sorry joke.
Never again your iron grip
Shall feel in my shrinking palrl-
Tom, Tom, keo your embling lip,
How on earth can be calm?
Well the arm is gone it is true:
But the one that is nearest the heart
Is lett-and that ss good as two;
Tom, old fellow, whar makes you start
Why. man, she thinks thar empty sleeve
A badge of homo SO do I,
And all of Us Il do believe
The fellow is going to cry
- She deserves perfect man." you say;
-" You n It worth her in your prime Pr
Tom the arm that has turn'd to clay

For you have placed in the Malvern earth

And the rest, hencefprward of higher worth
Will be dearer than al + your wife.

Every one feels that the struggle going in Ameri-

the first revolution nothing to be compared to it in
tragic interest has been before the world Even the
wars of the great Napoleon though they nearly

evinced by tyranny indivduIs and destruction
of private property nnknown in modern times, the ba
tired amounting to fretzg that felt towards the enemy
by the whole population OF the South; these things
give the Anericad a character" which will make it
remarkable in history and which every
nation to follow its course with upfailiug interest
But this American conflict is described entirely by
only one party. We really know far less OF the South
than knew Of the Russians during the Crimean
compagu. Though the South has it's press, and
though The newspapers Of its cities 10 t0e North
aad 10 Europe, we cannot be said TO have any real
knowledge of what is passing in the bockad territory
Every battle every expedition every act OF the Federal
Generals and governors is described by Northern pens
and revised by Northern censorship.
