THE BRAVE AND TRUE.

Woo not the white-winged bird of ssng,
Whose witcbing notes SO sweet ere long
A spell of gladness gave;
Woo not the s0ng-5ird else il be
To weave nobler minstrelsy
Songs for the true and brave.
Sing not of sunny. azure skies,
While meath their sinking depths there lie
shadow long and deep;
Weave not of hopes a subtle chain
Fond dreamer. for twill break again
And then butwake TO weep.
Lol round our homes and in our hearts
The poisoned. agOnizing darts
OF war. have left their sting;
While those for whom our tears still flow,
Meath southern soil are lying low
Joy never more 10 bring.
Q then DER those our Low ed ones slain,
Breathe e 'er your saddest, gentle strain,
In reverence and in tears;
Search out the souls most precious gem
OF thought, to weave in songs for them
Who ne'er in future years
Shall come. though oft with longing gaze,
We peer through twilights gathering haze.
Out-reaehing eager hand;
Half thinking in our loneliness.
Dear ones long dead will come TO bless
Once more our broken bonds.
And 0 forget not in your song.
That desolated writing throng,
Nho'Ye calmly Welded up
Their lips sweet all. and trembling stand.
Heart-broken IN our stricken land,
Pressing the bitter cup.
Unmurmingly to lips which said
Brave words. till hope ssweet dream had d ed:
And said true tidmgs came.
of those who meath Gods pitying heaven
Their precious lives had nebly given.
A righteous cause TO gain.
Tell those who said wen wait and pray
For cherished ones while far away.
Waiting avails not now;
But look above where pain and care
Swept from each brow by Heavens pure air,
They watch and wait for you.

Extract of letter from the Army OF
the Cumberland, May 22d 1864
To morrow morning we start for TWEEN
ty days most activecampsign.
You may expect to hear of brilliant
achievements Of this army before many
days.
Were it allowable, could tell you
much that would be interesting in regard
to our arrangements, but for fear of a fate
similar to that of the Poet correspondent,
B. F. t., will be guarded. Many laugh
able scenes occurred whilst we were before
Rocky Face, On one occasion a demon
stration was made to attract their atten-
ton, and we came out four or FIVE lines
deep. They, from their lofty position,
could overlook all our movements, and
see the large force we had marshaled for
their benefit.

on the top of the mountain, Where's

long time, thought the 4th corps had
gone East, and attributed Lees defeat to
it. You whipped Lee" said they, but
you can't whip US; that 4th corps is doing
the work for Grant"
When told the 4th Corps were in their
front, the reply was, "you can't fool US, if
the 4th Corps had been there, it would
have been on top of this Ridge long ago."
When the 9th Kentucky regt was on
picket they proposed to the rebels to quit
firing, which they readily consented to,
got into conversation, when singularly
enough, the 9th KY. Federals, were talk
ing with the 9th XIV. Rebels. &

but they did not seem much interested
in the business, and always gave the 10Th

How Grant Set Out on His Cam
paign.

When he went away from here the last
time, says the correspondence of the
Providence Press, he fully understood the
nature and magnitude of the great work
before him. He was perfectly satisfied
with all things, and modestly claimed
that in his plans GoD would grant him
victory. He. also remarked to his friends
that, between two such armies as Meade's
and Lees, success depended upon steady,
PERSISTENT bounding on the enemy, saving
as many of his own men as possible. He
believed he had the larger number of sol
diers, and corresponding excess of phys
ical strength and endurance, and by
adopting his course he would be able to
wear out the enemy. Says Giant: t'Iwill
narrow this matter down to APPOINT. Sup
pose the enemy has two thousand and I
have three thousand men, can there, need
there be any doubt as to the result? The
Army of the Potomac is raised to destroy
Lees army, and for that grand object /
am going to use it. With determination
and patience, by my plan. l can and I
will whip the enemy" Now, when one
recalls and considers the conversations OF
Mr. Washburne with his friends since he
left Grants immediate presence, and the
remarkable and characteristic dispatch
by Grant to the Government, saying, 81
propose to fight it out on this line if it
takes all summer" and, withal, his few
announcements of fighting, resting, or
maneuYering before the strongholds Of
the desperate foe, is it not easy to see
how everything accords with what Grant
said when he last left Washington? Yer
lily the American people have need OF pas
tienee and hopefulness in these times
that try mems souls. Clouds and snn--
shines, calms and storms alterne nowst
a-days with wonderful rapidity.

them intent on their games Of jackstones

the modesty and less bashful grace than
a young American boy would do. We

A correspondent of the Iowa Homestead
was riding out the other day with friend.
and observed that one of the horses had
a hole in each ear. On enquiring the
cause, he learned that it was to keep
the horse from jumping. why" said he,
"a horse don't jump with its ears" You
are mistaken" replied his friend: "a
horse jumps as much with his ears as
with his feet and unless he have the free
use of his ears he cannot jump" He
ties the two ears together, and he has no
more trouble with the horse.

Home for the Siok and Wounded.

The friends Of the soldier are requested to
meet In the Senate Chamber, new City Build
ing, this Saturday afternoon, at A O'Clock,
for the purpose of perfecting arrangements to
establish Home for the sick and wounded
soldiers passing through this city.
This is most praise-worthy enterprise, and
it is hoped the Senate Chamber will be found
too small to hold all the friends of the soldier
who will feel inspired to aid In its speedy ac-
complishment.
We are informed that the Sanitary and
Christian Commissions have both had this
matter under consideration, and are both dis
posed to do all that they can consistently in
aid OF the object, but they feel it is a matter
in which the citizens should generally partic-
ipate, so that our goodly city, rather than any
society, shall have the credit OF SO noble a
work. Let there be good turn out of the
liberal-minded and christian-hearted people Of
Portland, so that something may be effectual-
ly done to establish such a monument Of their
benevolence and grateful patriotism as shall
make glad the heart of the stricken soldier.
