Bnt there are hours of lonely musing
Sucb as in evenings silence come,
When soft as birds their pinions closing,
The hearts best feelings gather home
Then i'm our souls there seems to languish
Z tender grief that is not VICE.
And thoughts that once wrung groans Oh an
guish,
And feelings once as strong as passions
Float softly back-a faded dream;
OR own sharp griefs and wild sensations,
The tales of others suffering seem.
OH when the heart is freshly bleeding,
How it longs for that time to be.
When thro ugh the mists OF years receding
It's woes but live In reverie"

Terrible Condition Of Affairs at VIII
mlngtOn.

The Boston .AdrerfiSer says: {: When
General Sherman on his great march ar
rived at Fayetteville, n. g., he commu-
nica,ed with Wilmington by steamers on
The Cape Fear river, and on leaving there
sent down TO Wilmington all the sick and
wounded Of his ormy, and also all negroes
that had followed it since leaving Savan-
nah, estimated at some ten or twelve
thousand. This great collection OF men,
women and children, IL most awful
stale of destituMon. were huddled iogeih-
er. and for nearly month exposed TO al
most continual rains, succeeded by in
tense heat, with scarcely any SHELTER; and
although rations were for some months
distributed to them, hut lew had any prop,
er utensils for cooking, and large par
of the food was consumed nearly y law.
The consequence was as it might have
been expected, tha, disease was soon rlle
among lhem-nsarly all the old and fee
bile, with nearly every one of the chll.
drpn, died. The disease soon assumed
typhoid character, and when attacked
the strongest lived but two or three days,
and for many days the deaths averaged al
least forty per diem. Coffins could not
be made as fast as they were wanted. Al
las, The disease sbated. but The condition
of these people can hardly be said TO have
improved. The following is extracted
from business letter TO gentleman OF
this city, dated Wilmington, September
8 -
"Our people here are almost all poor
and destitute. and God onlYS knows how
they can get through the next winter. ]

The Father of President johnson. .

Fihy-three years ago lhe following
obituary notice Of President Johnson's Ia
rher January lOIh, 1912 appeared in the
Raleigh IN. c. Star:
''Died in this city, on Saturday last ia
cob Johnson, who Tor many years occu-
pied an humble but useful position in So
ciety. He was city constable. sexton and
porter of the State Bank. In his last ILL.,
ness he was visited BY the principal in
habilants of the city by all of whom he
was esteemed for his honesty, sobriety,
industry and humane friendly disposition.
Among all tu whom be was known and
esteemed none need lament him more lex
cept perhaps his relatives) than The pub
Usher OF this pal or, for he owes his life 90
particular occasion TO the boldness and
humanity of Johnson"
The North Carolina Standard thus ex.
plains the above obituary notice:
"Thomas Henderson was upset IN
canoe and was so near being drowned that
life was nearly extinct when he was re-
covered. Jacob Johnson was on the bank
safe and secure. But he saw his friend
drowning before his face. Thoughtless Of
lile ne plunged in at the hazard of his
own life. He did finally succeed in sa-
wing his friend. but both were nearly ex'
hausted when they reached the shore. The
statement in regard to Jacob Johnson be-
ing "esteemed for his honesty, sobrlety,
industry and humane friendly disposition,
is concurred in by tie old inhabitants now
living in this city. The grateful and gen.
erous tribute to his worth and goodness
of heart is more to be valued and esteem
ed than 'slored urn or animated bust.
As such President Johnson may regard ii
and no doubt he does. That peculiar trait
20 marked in the father-of devotion and
attachment to a proved friend-the son
seems TO have inherited in an eminent de-
gree. Those WHO have known him well
ard known him long concur in the state
ment that where his friendship and conf.
dence are secure he allows no eXTaneOus
influences. no party violence, no whisper
ings of enmity, no reyerses Of fortune, to
ALLEVIATE his feelings

TO MY WIFE.

When sickness called me TO thy side
To soothe thy burning woe,
God knows, rather would have died
Than see thee suffer so.
And when saw how pale thy cheek,
How dim had grown thy eye,
And thou so patient and SO meek,
thought that would die.
But soon the scorching Fever's blast
O'ertook thy heaving frame,
And fierce Delrium following fast,
With shadowy terrors came;
And dark eclipse around thee cast,
And wrapt my soul III fame
No tongue can tell how was panied
To view thy piteous plight
For mid the ruin Love remained,
Though Beauty TOOK her flight
Hi' precious pledges still retained
Mid all that Beauty's blight.
And memories of other years
Came surging at my heart
Their joys and griefs, their hopes and fear
Loves smile, and Sorrows smart
While Reason, almost drowned in tears,
Proclaimed that zoe must part
And while the dreadful tempest wrung
Each fiber of thy brain,
While on The doubtless issue hung
Hopes that we felt were vain;
And thy poor lacerated tongue
Shrieked out through blood amaln-
| felt as if my life Of life
My heart OF heart were crushed.
| could not view that awful strife
Forth from the scene rushed
Aloud cried, "My wife my wife -
My grief would not be hushed.
In wild, though subdued accents then,
Lowly sought the Throne
Where sits the Savior Of men,
Mid glories all his own:
Dear Jesus quicken her again,
Or, leave not ne aIons I"
Iuyisibly an angel came,
All fraught with mercy's balm,
Dlfusjng through thy tortured frams
a holy, heavenly calm,
And in that hour sweet Hope returned,
And rosy Health appears,
Where late the raging fever burned,
Unquenched by bitter tears.
