BARBARA FRlETCHIE.
BY john O. WHITTIER.


up from the meadows rich with corn,
Clear in the cool September morn,
The clustered spires of Frederick stand
Green-walled by the hills of Maryland.
Round about them orchards sweep,
Apple and peaeh-tree fruited deep,
Fair as q garden of the Lord
10 the eyes of the famished rebel horde.
On that pleasant morn of the early fall
when Lee marched over the mountain wall
Over the mountains winding down,
Horse and foot, into Frederick town.
Forty flags with their silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars,
Flapped IN the morning wind: the sun
of noon looked down, and saw not one.
TIp rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
Bowed with her four-score years and ten
Brayest of all Ia Frederick town,
She took up the flag the men hauled down ;
In her attic-windew the staff she set,
To show thai. one henri was loyal yet.
Up the street came the rebel tread,
Stonewall jackson riding ahead.
Under his slouched hat left and right
He glanced the old flag met bis sight.
"Haltr'-the dust thrown ranks stood fast.
stFirea''-out blazed the rifle-blast.
It shiyered the window, pane and SASH
II rent the banner with seam and cash.
Quick, as it fell from the broken staff,
Dame Barbara snatched the silken scarf;
She leaned far out on the window-sill,
And shook it out with royal will.
Shoot, If you must, this gray cid head,
But spare your country's flag, she said.
A shade of sadness, a blush of shame
Over the face of the leader came;
The nobler nature within him stirred
To life at that woman deed and word:
"Who touches o hair of yon gray head
Shall die like a dog March on y ne said.
All day long through Frederick street
Sounded the tread Of marching feet:
All day long that free flag tossed
Over the heads of the rebel host.
Ever its torn folds rose and fell
On the loyal winds that loved II well
And through the hill-gaps sunset light
Shone over it with . warm goodnight.
Barbara Frietehies work 10 DER,
And the rebel rides ON, bis raids no more.
Honor to her andslet q tear
Fall, for her sake, on Stonewalls bier.
Over Barbara Frietchie's grave
Flag OF Freedom and Union waye!-
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of light and law;
And ever the stars above look down
On thy stars below at Frederick townI

a story illustrating the way in which justice is

Webber, hearing that friend of his was in
trouble, sent for him to see if he could help him
out, and found that he bad been prosecuted by
neighhor. The only witness against him was
an Indian claiming to be a half-breed, Indians
not being allowed to testify in the courts o.
Michigan. ave must try strategy upon that
chap said Weber. ''You get jug of wits;
Key and we'll go over and see what can be done.
Very soon after reaching the place where the
court was to be held, Webber called the justice
out for little friendly talk, and to drink his
health, which they did several times. The court
getting so she understood herself pretty well,
the suit was called, and the witness put upon
the stand. Webhery appearing for the defence,
made objections on the grounds of his being al
Indian, and proceeded to question him as fol-
lows:
Weber. 'What was your grandfather and
mother on your father side?'
Witness "My grandfather she halfbreed
my grandmother he squaw.'

Weber. "And your mothers mother, what

Webber. "Well, that makes your mother a
halfbreed. Will the court be so goodas to put
that down, and add it up, and see how much il
makes?"
