JOHN SAM.

Twas a quiet silent night, The moon
with her starry escort was marching
across the dome of heaven, looking soft
ly down upon the ripping brook IS it
fastened off from the spring and dashed
over the rocks into Stone River, Far
away through the ether blue it seemed
to me that / could almost see the beam
log faces Of our loved and lost in this
war.
Twas midnight, and not a sound dis
turbed the stiffness, save the ripping Of
the brook, and the tread Of the sentinel
as be stalked upon his lonely beat. l
had been watching all night with a sick
soldier, but be grew worse, and as the
midnight hour was passing he fell asleep.
Since yesterday, till he died, he often
called for smother" "She said she
would meet me here l have waited for
her, but must go ; tell her that l loved
her, and waited long to see her. Tell
mother -" He said no more, but
threw his arms around my neck, pressed
me to his bosom and died. At2 o'clock
they bore him TO the grave. watched
with tears while the dim lights danced
to and fro around that silent spot as they
buried there the treasure Of a mothers
heart. He was so young and beautiful,
but he is gone. AT dawn bis mother
came; her heart almost broke when we
told her George was dead. But we dis
inferred his body, aud yesterday his sad
mother started with il homeward.

Foster no doubt thinks that the negro is
