For The Nashville Union. I .f /
SOng.-Where are Ny Comrades
On msny battle fields they're lying,
They fell, as heroes ever fall;
Twas there, saw thom bleeding-dying-
In honor to their cOuntry's call,
Brave spirits nova sacrifice,
Your deeds illumine hissOry's page
May monuments bar thisdevice
" They fell the braEest Of the age"
CHORUS.
Alone stand to battle yet,
The foe defiant still uncTush'd;
And weep, my comrades with regret
Who now in death are sadly hush'd.
At roll call, and on dress parade;
No answer from the ranks hear
As oft their cheerful voices made,
But sillnce echoes in my ear.
They whisper sadness as they come,
And thus recall the past again,
When they, brave comrades, one By ons
We're counted With the mangled slain.
cHoRUs.-Alone stand, &c.
I stand alone, and sadly think
OF comrades now forever gone rrr 81.
And then weeps''er the broken link
Which thus from homes were sedly torn.
How ohGng'd the scenes since Erst we left,
When full Of hopes with hearts 90 light
No fresides were then bereft
Where mourning decks the board tonight.
CHoRUs.--Alone 1 stand, &c.
Ye noble patriots sleep in peace,
And in thy banner shrouded rest,
Thy muskets still, thy swords are sheath'd,
And ye ars named among the best
Where Ger you lie, on plain or hill,
Attending angels mark the spot,
And twilight zephyrs softly tell
Ne Of my comrades ne'er forgot.
CzORUs.--Alone stand, 4.

A WoRsTED TRADEsMAN.-A man some SIX
feet three inches in height aal Of hefcu.ean
build, went into u hosier's SHOP in Worcester
the other day, and asked if they had got
any "whirlers," that is, stockings without
feet. "No," said the shopkeeper, "but we
have got some famous big and strong stock
ings. as will just suit sush person as you"
Let's have LOOK at tllen,' said the man.
The counter was Immediately covered with
a quantity. The working Hercules selected
the largest pair, and said, What's the price
of them?" -Four shillings and ninepence, "
was the rejoinder. "Can you cut the feet off
them?" was the next query. "0h, GER
tainly." said the shopkeeper. "Then cut
them off," was the laconic direction. No
sooner said than done. The long shop shears
were applied, and instantly the stockings
were fcotless. "And what's the price of em
now?" asked the customer, with all the COM
posture imaginable. "Priee of 'em now ?"
echoed the wsrsted" merchant, surprised be-
yond measure'at the absurdity of the ques-
ton ''why' four shillings and ninepence, to
be sure" -Four shillings and ninepencel"
exclaimed the purchaser; 81 never gave but
one shilling and sixpence for a pair of '..whirl-
ers" in my life" and be laid down the
amount upon the counter. "Well," replied
thotradesmnn, chopfallen and fairly outwit-
ted, and throwing the mutilations at him,
''taks them and be off with you p You've

DEAR UNION
1t seems have suddenly found favor
with the poets. A correspondent who signs
himself Strephon, says that he is tortured
with love Of cold hearted beauty, whom he
calls Myra, and upon whom his utmost en-
deavours can make no impression. Recently,
however, he bethought hinself of iIorace's
beautiful udes to the icy Pyrrha, and has also
taken to poetry, as the last resort. FOrtify-
.ng himself with the hopes of oyerc ming
that chill dlsdain that often manifests Itself
in her counteuance ON his pressing his suit
with more than usual vigor, he leSired from
the gay world, and invoking his cruel mis-
tress, as his muse, much alter the manner Vi
Burns in one Of his elegant songs, proceeded
To sigh his soul into gentle numbers. But
Myra being us cold muse as lover, his in
SEPARATION died out al the tloenty-SeUenth line,
and being sadly at loss for some way to
finish the poem, he prevailed on Fred. Forest
to add the closing lines, which he agreed to
do in consideration that the verses should be
submitted to me. and that Strcphon should
not behold them until they appeared in pr.nl.
Such is Stephoh's account. No doubt but
he expected II touching finish to his melting
numbers, but questioned if the lady shall
he any the more recone.led to him after peru
sing the poem, than she was before she knew
Of its existence.
Mr.. Forest will of course make his own
peace with the uneasy Strephon as for my
self shall give the ode 10 the eyes of the
publics as an exposure, for. once, OF those
pretty fellows who make love with verses
composed by others.

ODE TO THE ADORABLE MYRA,
BY THE LANGuIsHING sTREPHc

BY THE LANGUISHING STREPHoN.
Cupid you shoot unequal darts,
Strephon you pierce, while NJ ra free
Laughs at his pain, and oft resorts
To sneers to work him misery.
Unhappy yer thus t. be
The target of two archers keen
Since love and hate combined agree,
To live awhile in beauty's queen.
oh Venus fan an equal fame
Mai. her to love love IN vain,
Lend her influence aud thy name,
No loss to thee my certain gain =
So shall snap short the icy cham,
That bars my progress to ner heart,
Repelling frOsts and GOLD disdain,
in sishs of passion snail : act.
