A BRIDAL SONG,
BY HENRY HART MILAN,

To the sound of timbrels sweet
Moving slowly our solemn feet,
We have borne thee on the road
To the virgins blest abode;
With thy yellow torches cleaning,
And thy scarlet mantle streaming,
And the canopy above
Swaying as we slowly move.
Thou hast left the joyous feast,
And the mirth and wine have ceased;
And now we sit thee down before
The jealousy enclosing door,
That the favored youth admits
Where the yelled virgin sits
In the bliss of maiden fear,
Waiting our soft tread to hear,
And the music's brisker din
At the bridegroom's entering in,
Entering in, welcome guest,
To the chamber Of his rest.

1.-THE following thoughts seemed SO appropriate to
he occasion OF the conservation of the soldiers
cemetary at Gettysburg, Pa, on the 19th Of No.
7ember, 1863, that l could not resist the impulse
of putting them in the following:
New. ~, 1868. b. B. FRENCH
As Holy Ground,
This spot where in their graves
We place our cOuntrys braves
Who fell in Freedoms holy cause
Fighting for Liberty and laws,
Let tears abound.
Here let them rest,
And summers heat and winters cold
Shall wax and wave above their mould:
A thousand years shall pass away,
A nation still shall mourn this clay
The soil is best
Here where they fell,
O1t shall the widows tear be shed,
OFT shall fond parents mourn their dead,
The orphan here sh all kneel and weep,
AND maldens where their lovers sleep,
Their woes shall tell.
Great God Of Heaveni
Shall all this sacred blood be shed?
Shall We thus mourn our glorious doad9
oh, shall the end be ruth ana woe
The knell OF Freedoms overthrow,
A country rivens
We trust, oh God, thy gracious power
To aid rs In this darkest hour;

As the road to poor farming is not
generally understood, though it il
crowded with travellers. we throw up
the following landmarks, for. the com.
mon benefit: I,@.ts-ras,l.
l. Invest all your capital in land, and
run in debt for more. -ei-
2. Hire money to stock your farm,
8. Have no faith in your own busi-
ness, and be always ready to sell out,
4. Buy mean cows, spawned herseu.
poor oxen and cheap tools. ~
5. Feed bog hay and mouldy corn
stalks exclusively, in order to keep your
stock tame; fiery cattle are terribly
hard on old rickety wagons and plows.
6. Use the oil of hickory freely
whenever your oxen need strength !; il
is cheaper than hay or meal, keeps
the air lively and pounds out all grubs,
z. Select all such calves for stock
as the butchers shun-beautiss of runts,
thin in the hams, and pot beIlisd but
be sure and keep their blood thin by
scanty herbage; animals are safest to
breed from that havn't strength to herd.
8. Be cautious about manufacturing
manure it makes the fields look black
and mournful about planting timeI be-
sides it is a deal of work To haul it.
@. Never waste time by setting out
fruit and shade trees; fruit and leaves
rotting around place make it nm
healthy.

Gerrit Smith on the War.

Once a radical and extremist upon
the subject of Abolitionism, Gerrit
Smith, of New York, has changed his
course sufficiently to give utterance to
words like these, in speech at Albany
on Tuesday;
81 have said, we must insist on the
unconditional submission of the rebels.
Our opposition to the rebels must also
be unconditional. We must make no
conditions on behalf of the Republican
Democratic or Abolition parties. We
must make no conditions. If the re-
bellion triumphs, let all else die-for
all. family, wealth, party-all would be
worthless without country. The
The rebellion must be put down at
whatever cost, or at whatever sacrifice.
The Republican or Democrat who is
intent only on helping his party, is in
league with rebels. Are there Aboli-
tionists who will not 60 for crushing
treason unless Government shall pledge
itself to prosecute the war antil slavery
is abolished? I? Let me say to them. /
have no sympathy with you. l know
you only as enemies of my country.
The true doctrine is-let come what
may of temperance, Of abolitionism, of
republicanism, of democracy, the re-
bellion must and shall be put down. 1t
is not now down, only because we
have net been as earnest in putting il
down as the rebels have been in put
ting it up. We are in this war to be
brothers. We are to know no man by
bis party name, but only as antirebel-
lion men. In the course of my long
life, l have had to do something against
intemperance and slavery; but since the
bombardment of Sumter, / have been
ready to work with all against rebel
lion-to work, if you please, with the
greatest drunkard on my right, and the
greatest proslavery man on my left. If
abolitionists refuse to work with me
without some pledge for the abolition
OF slavery, it is little to their credit
that they allow the sin ofs}avery to
blind their eyes to the greater sin OF
rebellion. If, as some say, slavery
and rebellion are one, then put down
the rebellion, and slavery falls with it."

"We have buried him with his niggers !"-
Rebel reply to demand for Col. ShaW's body.
Oh, fair-haired Northern hero!
With thy guard of dusky hue,
Up from the field of battle
Rise to the last review.
Sweep downward, welcoming angels,
In legions dazzling bright
Bear up these souls together,
Before Christ's throne of light.
The Master, who remembers
The cross, the thorns, the spear,
Smiles on these risen freedmen,
As their ransomed souls appear.

What shall thy greeting be?

Thou hast done it unto me-"
