MY FRIEND.

MY FRIEND.
Written by Colonel w. s. Hawkins, late :
S, A, (prisoner Of war at Camp Chase)
friend Of a fellow prisoner who was engaged
be married to Southern lady. She prove
faitbless to him. The letter arrived soon ate
his death, and was answered by Col. II. IN tn
following lines
Your letter came, but came too late,
For Heaven had claimed its own;
All. sudden change! from prison bars
TTnto the Great White Throne.
And vet, I think he would have stayed
For one more day of pain,
Gould he have read these tardy WORDS
Which you have sent in vain.
Why did you wait, fair lady,
Through SO many weary hour?
Had you other lovers with you,
In that silken, dainty bower!
Did others bow before your charms
And Irvine bright garlands there?
And yet, ween, in all the throng
His spirit had no peer.
L WISH LnaG YOU W6lS Wy ulO INV
AS l draw the sheet aside,
To see how pure the look he wore
Awhile before be died.
Yet the sorrow that you gave him
Still has left it's weary trace,
And meek and sanity sadness
DWells upon that pallld tace
ssHer love, . he said could change for me
Lph 5V;ntor'c cold m Snring -
All trust Of thoughtess malden,s love,
Thou art bitter thing
For when these valleys fair, in May,
Once more With blooms shall wave,
The Northern vioets shall blow
Upon his humble grave.
Your dole Of scanty words had been
But one more pang to bear;
Though to the last he kissed with love
This tress of your soft hair.
7 did not put it where he said,
Fer when the angels come,
7 would not have them find the sign
OF Falsehood in his tomb.
I've read your letter, and [ know
The Wiles that you have wrought
To win that noble heart Of his,
Aud gained it; fearful thought
What lavish wealth men sometimes give
For triae, light and small,
What manly forms are often held
In folly 1imsy thrall
You shall not pity him, for now
He's past your hope and fear;
Although wish that you could stand
With me beside his bier.
Still, I forgive you! Heaven knows
For mercy you Il. have need,
Since God his awful judgement sends
On each unworthy deed.
Tonight, the cold wind whistles by,
AS my vigi]s keep
Within the prison dead house, where
Few mourners come to weep.
A rude, plank coffin holds him now,
Yet death gives always grace;
and I had rather see him thus
Than clasped in your embrace.
Tonight your rooms are very gay,
With wit, and wine, and song
And you are smiling just as it
You never did wrong.
Your hands, SO fair that none would think
: It penned these words OF pain;
Your skin, so white-Would God your soul
Were half so free OF stain
I'd rather be this dear, dear friend,
Than you in all your glee:
For you are held in grievous bonds,
While he's forever free
Whom serve We in this life, we serve
In that which is to come,
He chose bis way you, yours; let God
Pronounce the fitting doom

Editors Chlcago Tsibnne:
The leading editorial in your paper of this
date characterized the writer Is a stDemo-
cfat." As this Is rather a questionable POSI-
ton, yon will. know, give me room enough
ii your columns to explain aud say that was
Democrat, and acted With that party up to
the time Of Its disruption and defeat by The
Southern rebels at Charleston, in 1850. Doug
las, "the noblest Roman Of them all" the
representative man of the American Democ-
racy. was slaughtered by the tzaitoss, who
subsequently, fired the citadel and sought the
destruction Of the government which It was
his ambition to build up In power and glory.
What man with spark Of patriotism In bis
heart eonld act with the Democratic party
alter that: And when TINT band Of rebels
which nominated Mcclellan, assembled IN
Chicago, to MD IN crushing the struggling M.
tion, who could be Democrat thenS What
man 80 poor In spirit, 50 deroid OF patriotic
feeling, as to abandon hls country In such an
hour as ,thats There was a time when the
Democratic name was honored In the land
when this great aud powerful party, founded
upon pure republican. principles, was the sup-
port md nainstay Of the Young Republic.
But the organization fell into evil hands, aud,
when the great rebellion broke ont, 1t Was
ar1ayed On the side Of the enemies of our
country, and did ita best to bring her to ruin
aud destruction. No! / belong to The
Union men, whoever they may be, OF under
whatever name or stJlc they march to sustain
with heart and hand the power aud Integrity
OF this grand Empire.
Very truly, yours,
