The Soldiers Burial.
Where shall we lay our comrade DOWN.
p Where shall the brave one sleep?
Ths battles past, the victory won,
Now we have time to weep!
Bury him on the mountains brow,
Where he fought so well;
Bury him where the laurels grow
There he bravely fell
There lay him in his generous blood,
For there first comes the light
When morning earliest breaks the cloud,
And fingers last at night! -Ia
What though no how'ret there may bloom
To scent the chilly air.
The sky shall stoop to wrap his tomb,
The stars will watch him thsrel
What though no stone may mark his grave
Yet fame shall tell his race
Where sleeps the one SO kind, so brave,
And God will find the place
Bury him on the mountains brow.
Where he fought so we'll;
Bury him where the laurels grow
There he bravely fell

One day, short time ago, while sit

tai stranger to every one in the city, l
took up daily paper for the purpose
of passing away an idle hour, and for
my further comfort | seated myself in
the recess of bay window, and was
thus wholly hidden from the view of
any who chanced to enter the room. /
was the one solitary occupant of the
room, and had but just become inter-
ested in the latest news when | heard
the door of the room open and the
footsteps of two persons approaching.
They seemed to be talking confidential
ly together, and l thought it my duty
to make known my presence by some
sign, so that l might not hear anything
not intended for my ear, but on peer
ing into the room, imagine my surprise
when / recognized in the occupants
jeff. Davis and his traitor friend
Toombs, of Georgia. / hesitated no
longer, but settled myself back in my
seat and bent every energy to listen to
the conversation which was carried OF
in low tone.
But, said Toombs, Mr.. Davis, you
must not give away to the vagaries o.
your brain. Come, tell me all abou,
this wonderful dream, and, my word fol

TO THOSE WHO DON'T THINK

We saw that, RAILWAYS READY RELIEF is
the most elegant and powerful medicine known in
the world This is not boasting; try it, if you
feel sceptical and be convinced. 1t combines in its
composition the properties of diffusive stinulant,
an anti-septic, mild but effective astrngent, and
direct power over the nerves, neither narcotic
nor anodne, that relieves pain, in manner pecu-
liar to itself and for which we have word in the
English language exactly to express its action.
The French call it Soalagenaent So much for its
internal administration. When applied external
ly, it will be found most powerful counter-irri-
applied, and Withdrawing the blood FROM some
neighboring part, where it may be congested or
heaped vp, causing pain and leading to infama-
ton ltfullls the indication OF equalizing the cir
culation most effectively, and most beautifully to
minds that can understand its action.

lature has voted itself high old holiday.
1t adjourned over on Wednesday last till
the 9th Of January, 1864 period of
twelve days. And the reason given for
this remarkable and unprecedented and
shameless. derelictiOn Of duty, caps the
climax of folly. 1t is childish, but char
acteristic, considering its source. The
reason given is, that "a quorum will not
be at the Capital during the holidays"
The members want to go home to show
off their "store clothes" Even the Union
is forced to confess that the treason
sounds ridiculous" and doubts not it will
"seem ridiculous to the people of the
State" Ifthe pay of the members stopp.
ed while they are taking . spree it would
not look so badly, still their conduct would
be inexcusable and reprehensible but
their pay goes on. The people are taxed
to pay these idlers and lOafers for shirking
their duty; but then, the idlers and loaf.
ers are loyal, and their loyalty may, per.
haps, be worth ten dollars day. II they
as they have begun we think the
people will discover, before the close of
the session, that loyalty is = foolish, ex.

of better, sterner stuff, are actuated by
the noblest and purest motives, are not
afraid to brave power in defense of justice

"GREEK FIRE. The Army and Navy

opinion as to the efficacy Of " Greek fire"

entertains the impression that the at
tempt may serve the innocent purpose of
tickling the popular fancy,in other words,
humbugging the people, but it will hard
ly be seriously considered by profession
al men. Thus far it has proved costly
fizzle. The Journal says:
Until either the iron feet can make its
way up to the city or we can plant force
on James Island large enough h to march
on it, We have little faith in the capture
Of Charleston"
