THE SOLDIERS GRAVE.
Tread lightly-'tis soldiers grave,
A lonely, mossy mound
And yet, to hearts like mine and thine,
1t should be on holy ground.
Speak gently-let no careless laugh,
No idle, thoughtless jest,
Escape your lips, where sweetly sleeps
The hero in his rest.
For him no reveile shall beat,
When morning beams shall come;
For him, at night, no TATTOO rolls
Its thunder from the drum.
No costly marble marks the place,
Recording deeds Of fame,
But rudely on that bending tree
Is carved the soldiers name.
A name-not dear 10 us-but ah!
There may be lips that breathe
That name as sacredly and low
AS vesper prayers at eve.
There may be brows that wear for him
The mourning cypress vine;
And hearts that make his lonely grave
A holy pilgrim shrine.
There may be eyes that joyed TO gaze
With love into his own,
Now keeping midnight vigls long
With silent giefs alone.
There may be hands now clasp'd in prayer
This soldiers hand have pressed,
And cheeks washed pale by sorrows tears,
His own cold cheek caressed.
Tread lghuy-for man bequeathed,
Ere laid beneath this sod,
His ashes 10 his native land,
His gallant soul 10 God!

The Radicals.

From the Daily NeaDs.
History is full of striking examples of the cor
rupting influences of power, but it furnishes
no parallel for the course pursued by the radi.
cal wing of the Republican party since they
succeeded in securing complete and undisputed
control Of the Government. 1t is true the men
who shape the policy and direct the action Of
this party have always been bad men, and their
protean party-protean SO far, at least, as name
Is concerned-has always been a bad aud cor.
rupt party. But they would not have dared
twenty, or even ten years ago, to entertain the
purposes they. now openly avOw, or 80 reck-
lesSly to unveil their netarious designs They
s:ill, indeed, profess to reverence the Constitn
ton and respect the laws; but the thin veil of
hypocrisy which, with scornful carelessness, they
spread over their motives, only serves, like the
meretricious drapery of the harlot, to snow off
the corruption it does not hide.
Ten years ago the people of the United States
were lree, and their Government was representa-
uve. To-day, an oligaI chy which has destroyed
the CONSTITUTION defed the laws and usurped
uespouc powers, makes mere mock OF our
once'boasted liberties. Aud when heir authority

Is the Habeas Corpus Still suspendeds


We are no favorers of subtlety and finesse in
politics. In tree country, where government
is under the control, or supposed to be under
the CONTROL OF public opinion, proclamahons
and documents addressed to the mass of citizens
should have no other meaning than that which
the ordinary sense OF plain people would natu-
rally put upon the words. This sound rule has
been egregiously transgressed in the residents

serted IN an official telegram, that the Proclama-

States. We suppose we must regard the follow

Cotton is King!" shouted the South, "and

giant, and confident in the secure possession OF
