BY EDWARD SpRAGUE RAND.

Strong in faith for the future,
Drawing our hope from the past,
Munfully standing to battle,
However may blow the blast
Onward still pressing undaunted,
Let the foe be strong as he may,
Though the sky be dark as midnight,
Remembering the dawn Of day.
Strong in the cause of freedom,
Bold for the sake of right,
Wntchful and ready always,
Alert by day and night: W
With sword for the foe of freedom,
From whatever side he come,
The same for the open toeman
Andithe traitorous friend at home.
Strong with the arm uplificd,
Aud nerved with God s own might,
In an age of glory living r., -.
In a holy cause to fight:
Aud whlom catching music
Of the futures minstrclsy.
As those who strike for freedom
Blows that can never die.
Strong, though the world may threaten
Though thrones may totter down,
And in many an Old World palace,
Uneasy sits the crown
Not for the present only
Is the war We wage to-day,
But the sound shall echo ever
When we shall have passed away.
Strengths an age Of glory,
And worth thousand years
OF petty, weak disputings,
OF ambitious hopes and fears:
And we, if we learn the lesson
ALL glorious and sublime,
Shall go down to future ages
AS heroes for all time.
Strong-not ia human Boosting,
But with high and holy will,
The means of u mighty Worker
His purpose to fulfill:
o patient warriors, Watchers
a thousandfold your power
If ye read with prayful purpose
The Lesson of the Hour.

THE PRETTIEsT Girl IN TowN.--Of all
the ingenious ways of raising money for the
Sanitary Commission, that devised by the
people of the town of Catawissa, Pa, is
probably the oldest. The male citizens
agreed to decide by vote who was the pref
test girl in town, and it was declared in
favor Of Miss Hattie S. Refsnyder, by "a
majority of two hundred and eighty votes
Each vote was accompanied by the sum of
twenty-five cents, and the proceeds were
given to the Sanitary Fair, as the contribu-
ton of the favorite beauty. What makes
the matter more interesting, is the fact that
Miss Reifsnyder is nursing wounded soldiers
in the ARM of the Potomac.

CURIOUS FACTS. - In Australia it is sum-
mer in January, and winter in July. 1t is
noon there when it is midnight in Europe.
The longest day is in December. The heat
comes from the South, and it is hottest on
the mountain tops. The swans are black,
the eagles are white, the bees do not sting,
and the birds do not sing. The cherries
have no stones, the trees give no shadow,
for their leaves turn edgeways to the sun ;
and some of the quadrupcds have beak
and lay eggs.

a HARD PLlGHr.-General Mcclellan, in
his letter of acceptance, confcsses that he
could not look in the faces of his gallant
comrades " and tell them that their iabors
and the sacrifices of 50 many of our slain
and wounded brethren had been in vain"
Now, the Chicago platform, on which he
stands, explicitly requires him to do pre-
cisely the thing that he says he cannot do
He must say the war is a " failure" the
blood OF our soldiers lost the wounded
wounded in vain, the treasure wasted. He
must say it to the soldiers he must say it
to the people; he must say it to other
nations. Now let him back up to the front
and utter it, for he cannot say it with his
face to the auditors He don't believe it :;
but he must say it. The infalible Chicago
Democracy has decreed it, has ordered all
their votares to utter it; yet he knows that
his confession of it would kill Chicago. He
had better save his conscience, come out
from among the abettors of the rebellion,
and work where he can speak the truth like
soldier, and look the soldiers in the
face
