Give them eternal rest,
Father, with Thee,
On Thy Paternal breast,
God of the Free
Dumb is the lannon's throat,
Broken the band,
Feebly the pennon's float
Der the red land:
When on the battle field,
BY the rude torch revealed,
Slumber the brave,
Pillowed on foes o'erthrown;
While round them shrek and groan,
Blent with the night winds moan,
Ceaselessly rave.
Then shall the thunders roar
Nevermore. nevermore,
Rouse up again.
Theirs is that olden sleep,
Sacred and golden sleep,
Free from all pain.
So sleep the dutiful,
Dreamless, but beautiful,
Their duty done;
Sinking in tranquil rest,
AS in the purple west
Sinketh the sun.
Fast closed the fight round them,
Vast rose the night round them,
Night at monday
Night of the sulph'rous smoke,
Glad with the sable stroke.
Death shot and thunder roar,
Deluge of human gore,
Dreadfullest fray!
Oh they fought fearfully,
Bleedingly, but cheerfully,
On for the Free,
Dealing their dying blows,
AS DER the flying foes
Rose victory!
Close up each CHASTITY wound
Gasping so wide;
Lift them up from the ground,
Liberty's pride.
Wrap round each CORY form,
Torn though it be,
The star Of the battle storm,
Flag of the Free
Calm is their slumber now;
Fame on each bloody brow
Sits like star,
Cleaning through death and night,
With celestial light
Streaming afar.
Drop no tears on them!
There is no stain on them;
Earth shall now tell
How. glad with life to seal
Freedom and country veal
Nobly they fell,
Leaving a story
OF valor and doom,
Wreathing with glory
Their brows for the tomb!
Give them eternal rest
Father, with Thee,
On thy paternal breast.
God of the free
Gather those ever Thine
In Thy fond arms Divine,
Who for thy country's laws,
God, and old Freedoms cause,
Battle and fall
Give them eternal youth.
Life in immortal truth
Flash wide DER all
Their far splend'ring story,
To stream on sublime
Their sunshine of glory,
To hallow all time!

Grafton of the new financial bill upon the Money

OF The bulls while the same cause has thrown large
amounts of stocks on the market. The four hundred
million convertible bond issue, it is feared, will
draw large amount Of deposits out of our banks and

money will Immediately be paid out again, yet while
in ranstn the effect it is argued would be to cause
comparative stringency in the money market Upon
this movement the bears rely TO drive the mar

to this view, it must be remarked that the
money loaned tho Government on these bonds
need not necessarily he locked up in the Sub-Treas-

moneys in the banks, in which case the deposit
would simply be changed from individual accounts
TO the Government, and also that while the Secre-
tary s preparing the three years bonds for issue his
necessities will compel him to psy ont large amounts
Of the legal tender notes authorized by the bill, and
these will fill the temporary vacuum occasoned by
payments on the bonds. Again, very large pro-
portion Of the deposits with banks and bankers are
regular commercial balances, aud will not be dis
