The Ohio Democrat. [volume] (Canal Dover, Ohio) 1840-1900, 1863-10-23

MANY of those men and women who
are most brilliant, facinating and gentle
in society at large, reserve their demon,
their evil temper for some unfortunate
home slave on whom they think they can
vent it safely, since the victim does not
complain. A bad temper prefers one
victim out Of family; on that one II
vents its spite, indulging all the others,
that it may have defenders with the
world.

This Is no idle talk. Any one half

field of patriotic work is great, to help us
in keeping the public informed on the

ct, when he gained it, was very sparse, and so
near to the point that the Confederate sentry,
had he suspected Joels presence there could
have hardly failed to hit him.
Lying down, however, the vermonter awaited
sunrise. and as the shadows faded away in the
mists of morning he saw the light CLEAN upon
bayonet peering from the trench on the hill
side.

Joel to himself.
He pulled the string carefully at first, till it
was drawn tight, and then a slight extra tug
fred the musket from the cedar above.
He had not calculated wrongly. AS soon as
the rfeman in the pit heard this national salu-
tation from the enemy over opposite, as he sup
posed, he raised himself up to return the fire,
and brought his head and shoulders plainly in
to sight.
The next instant he went heels over head into

ring Colt straight through the side of his head

UNDER THE SUN.

There are little birds in the sycamore trees,
Toing and singing the whole day longs
Working with gladness while daylight lasts;
Cheering their labor with merry song,
There are green fields waving in wind and rain,
Telling of labor yet to be done
When the grain shall be ripened and gathered in
A golden harvest-under the sun.
Uuder its banks to the restless sea,
Floweth the river all clear and bright;
Kissing the flowers which grew in its path
Dancing along through the pleasant light,
Rocking the boats on Its bosom broad,
As into the harbor they gladly rum
Cleaning and sparkling, to the sea
1t loweth for ever down, under the sun.
There are great hearts signing for honor and fame,
Chasing phantom, which seems to stand
Ever before them in mockcry fair,
Holding crown in its outstretched hand.
There are prisons, with windows and doors all
barred,
Making dark shadows that NIL men shun,
While the prisoners chained in their dreary cells,
Dream Of the freedom out uuder the
Under the sun there are lovers, still
Dreaming the dream that never grow old;
Treasuring tresses of waving hair,
Brighter and dearer than wealth untold;
Seeing forever but one dear face
Hearing forever voice save one,
So dreams the lovers, that same old dream,
Making Heaven down under the sun.
Little feet wearied before the time;
Little feet folded upon the breast;
Bright eyes closed ere the sad tears came;
So go the little ones into their rest.
Old men laying their strongs staff down,
Close their eyes on the race all run,
Death is an angel, that leads the way
Out of the shadow down under the
Grave-yards spread over hill and dale,
Groves far down in the deep blue sea,
Tell where our hopes and our joys lie hid,
Safe in the depths of eternity.
But whether the flowers bloom over their graves
Or the waves sing over the treasures won,
Their angels look out from the heaven above,
And watch those who love them down under tn
SUI.
There are pain and labor and sin and woe,
Like dark clouds lowering over the way,
With hope and happiness shining through all,
The sunshine making the pleasant day.
But the time will come when the cares shall cease,
When we weep morc-but with work all done,
Fold gladly our hands DER our quiet hearts,
And rest from all murmuring, under the sun.
