THE BLUE COAT.


The following ballad is from the pen Of Bishop Bur.
gess Of Maine and was contributed by him to the boob
published and sold the late Sanitary Fair Ia Balti
more under tho sanction Of the State Fair Association
OF the women Of Maylendi
THBBLUE COAT OF THE SOLDIER.
You asked me, little one, why bowed,
Though nevor ! passed the man before1
Because my heart was full and proui,
when saw the Id blue coat he wore;
The blue great coat, the sky blue coat,
The old blue coat the soldier wore.
I knew not, I, what weapon he chose,
What chiefhe followed, what badge no wore;
Enough that in the front Of her foes
His country's blue greatcoat Le were;
The blue great-coat, &c.
Perhaps he was born in a forest hut,
Perhaps he had danced on = palace floor;
To want or wealth my eyes we're shut,
only marked the old coat he wore;
The blue great-coat, &C.
1t matterod not much II he drew his line
From shem or Ham in the days Of yors;
For surely he was a brother Of mine,
Who for my sake the wAr.eoat wore;
The blue great-coat, &c.
He might have no skill to read or write,
Or he might be rich In learned lore;
But knew he could make his mark in fight,
Aud nobior gown scholar
Than the blue greSt-coat, &C.
That garb OF honor tells enough,
Though itsstory guess no more;
The heart It covers is made Of such stnff,
That coat is mail which that soldier wore,
The blue grsat-coat, &c.
Hemay hang 1t up when the peace shall come,
And the moths may find IL behind the door:
But his children will point, when they hear drur
To the proud old coat their father wore
The blue great-coat, &c.
And SO, my child, will you andI,
For whose fair home their blood they pour,
Still bow the head, one goes by
| Who the coat that soldier were;
Tho blue great-coat, tho sky-bue coat,
| The old blue coat the soldier wore.

Rebel Appaarances Daceitful.

Rebel Appearances Deceitful.
"A friend who is in official communi-
cation with both sides in the American
civil war, and who has almost unequal
ed opportunities for coming to a sound
conclusion, speaks of the difficulties of
the South as far greater than are aLlo,ced
to appear on the 1rJace" So writes
the London correspondent Of the Man
chester Guardian, paper whose sympa-
thics have always been ardent for the
rebellion.
We do not make sufficient account of
the fact that the rebel situation is, for
tn most part, kept hidden. From the
beginning, the rebellion has been fur
thered more by secresy than any thing
else, 1t was hatchedin the dark. Had
the light of day shone in upon it, so
that the country could have known
what it was, it never would have been
suffered to draw a second breath. The
Southern people were made to believe it
comparatively harmless thing, called
peaceable secession. The Northern
people imagined it believe, de-
signed to frighten simpletons. The
conspirators sprung it upon the unpre-
pared country, and thus gained for it a
foothold. Ever since, it has succeeded
mainly by working in the dark.
