Important to Discharged Soldiers!

BELIEVING that the soldiers who enlisted
ID early in the war, who first sprang to arm s
at the country's call, and first placed them
selves in TIE front, should receive at least an
equal amount of bounty with those who en-
listed after December "a, 1868, | A. HUTCH
rNsoE, of Columbus, Ohio, General Agent tor
the collection of Military Claims, offers his
services. and with the assistance of the SOL
diers themselves, will undertake to secure it.
he accordingly invites all soldiers who enlis-
ted in the army prior to the Gath of Deem
Der, 1858, and were hUnorably discharged
therefrom, receiving only $l00 or less, boun-
ty. no matter what the cause of the discharge
or length of time served, to forward their dis
charge papers to him Immediately, that a
prompt and decisive effort may be made to
secure what would seem to be so justly due.
Upon receiving the discharges, receipts for
them will be promptly returned, accompanied
by the necessary papers in each particular
case, with full information,
This Is a matter that must receive imme'
date attention, for, unless it is attended to al
once. and supported by a sufficient number
of interested names and applications to in
duce the necessary action, it will doubtless be
postponed, and may be finally dropped.
EgSee to it then without delay. Already
quite a humber of cases are on file, and if any
soldier thinks he has not already received
what is properly due, let him send his dis
charge, with a clear statement of what he
claims, and sn early reply will be given.
The heirs or legal representatives of sol
diers who enlisted prior to the Oath of Decem-
Der, 1868, and died in the service, or in Rsbe
prisons, viii also be equally entitled to thu
benefits contemplated in this movement, ant

not been fayed, but dangled there
with their smooth, shining skins,
which had been scalded and scraped
clean of hair, so that at first l took
them for sucking pigs.

BT JAMES C. CLARK.

There's q land far away mid the stars, are told,
Where they know not the sorrows OF tune;
Where the pure waters wander thro valleys of gold,
And life IL treasure subme
'Tis the land of God, tits the home of the soul
Where ages of splendor eternally ROLL
Where the way weary traveller reaches his goal
On the evergreen mountains of life.
Our gaze cannot soar to that beautiful land,
But our visions have told of its bliss,
And souls by the gale from its gardens fannd
When We faint in the desert of this.
And.we sometimes have lonsed for its holy repose.
When our spirits were torn with temptations and woes
And we've drank from the tide of the river that flows
From the evergreen mountains of life.
@ the stars never tread the blue heavens at night
But we think where the Tansomed have trod,
And the day never smiles from his palace Of light
But we feel the bright smile of our God.
We travelling homeward thro' chang and gloom,
To a kingdom where pleasures unclaniugly bloom,
Aud guide Is the glory that shines thrO the tomb,
From the evergreen mountains of hfe.
