A REAL FRIEsD.-A friend--a real, true
hearted friends more rare than he should be
Why is il that selfshness predominates in tn
heart Pr that he only is considered friend who
has money and influenced In the higher walks
of life, how rarely is true friend found-ont
who will act as he feels, and speak as he thinks
But among the humble and poor, You will oc-
easionally find the germ of pure friendship. "
who have found true friend, appreciate hi
worth. If he labors to benefit you, say not
word, perform not an act, that viii send thrill
Of pain to his bosom,
IL there is crime that betrays vile heart, il
is the wounding of pure affection. Many one
has seen when too late the error of his course
When the grave has concealed his best friend he
felt--ah words will not describe the feeling.
Ye who are surrounded by the kind and good
the watchful and ue-hearted-appreciate them
we pray you. Love them in return for their
kindness, and to the close Of life they will con-
tinue to guard and bless Yen.

POE TR z !.
Written for the Hammond Gazette,
I'm THE HOSPITAL.

Not disabled from the service,
No, nor absent from your post;
You are doing gallant duty,
Where the Master needs You most.
II was noble to give battle,
While the world stood cheering on;
1t is nobigr co lie parieut,
Leaving half ones work undone;--
Or to stand, still cheerful-hearted,
One among the chosen few
Who detached for special service,
Are to suffer, not to do.
For God metes to each his measure,
And the sick mans patient prayer,
No less than ball and bayonet,
Brings the victory, unaware.
Eyes that smile on through their anguish,
Signs on sighs choked brayely down; :.
All the thin hands folded meeklv,
Letting 60 the wished-for crown
All the strong hearts learning patience,
All the faint hearts learning trust
Cry out loudly, as death-cry,
s'Great God ! our cause Is just !"
Closely by the narrow bedside,
Where the wan, white face grows calm,
Bend invisible bright angels,
With the laurel and the palm.
And the King counts up his heroes,
when the desperate charge is led
But He write, 'sMy best beloved"
Over the sick man bed.
Hammond Gen. Hospital, Sept. Is, 1858.
