WHAT THE HEART OF THE YOUNG
GIRL SAID To THE DEAD SOL

IA young lady at augusta. Georgia furnished

Suggested by the respect shown Confedorat,

Others participated on the 26th Of APRIL
Unknown 10 me, brave boy. hut still I wrcathe
For YOU the tenderest Of wild wood flowers;
And DER your tomb a virgins prayer breathe
To greet the pure moon and the April showers
l only know. only care to know
You died for me-for me and country BLEED:
A thousand Springs and wild December snow
Win weep for one Of all the Southern Dead.
PerchaBce, some mother gazes up the skies,
Wailing, like Rachel, for her martyred brave
oh. for her darling sake, my dewy eyes
Moisten the turf above your l0wly grave.
The Cause Is sacred when our maidens stand
Linked with sad matrons and with heroic sires
Above the relics Of a yanquished land
And light the torch Of sanctifying fires.
Your bed Of honor has a rosy cope
ge simmer back the tributary stars;
And every petal glistens with hope
Where Love has blossomed in the disc Of Mars
Sleep! On your couch Of glory slumbor comes
Bosomed amid the Archangclic choir;
Not with the grumble 0fimpetuOUs drums
Doep'ning the chorus Of embattled ire.
Above you shall the oak and cedar fling
Their giant plumage and protesting shade;
For you the song pause upon has wing
Aud MARBLE requien4s ever undismayed.
Farewell And II your spirit wander near
To kiss this plant Of upaspiring art
Transl ate il, even in the heavenly sphere.
As the librcttO of 4 maidcn's heart.

HUSBANDS AND THEIR WIVES.

From the New York Methodist
Some husbands never leave home in the
morning without kissing their wives aud
bidding them goodbye dear" in tones OF
uuwearied love; and whether il be policy
or fact, il has tho effect of fact, and those
homes are happy ones, providing always
that the wives are appreciatiye, and well
come the discipline in kindly spirit. We
know an old gentleman who lived with his
wife over fifty years, and never left home
without the kiss and the goodbye, dear"
Some husbands, before leaving home, ask
tenderly, "what would you like for dinner,
my dear ~ knowing all the while that she
viii select something for his particular pal
ate, and of he goes.
Some husbands will leave home without
saying anything at all, but thinking good
deal, rs evinced by their turning round at
the last point Of observation, and waving an
adieu ut the pleasant face or faces at the
window.
SOple husbands never say a word, rising
from the breakfast table with the lofty in
difference of lord, and going out with a
heartless disregard of those left behind.
Ii is fortunate thing for their wives that
they can find sympathy elsewhere. Some
husbands never leave home without some
unkind word or look, apparently thinking
that such a course will keep things straight
in their absence. Then, ON returning some
husbands come home jolly and happy, I'M
soured by the world; some sulky and surly
with disappointments.
Some husbands bring home newspaper
~ a h COX, and bury themselves for the even
ins, in is-,ecntents. Some husbands are call
ed away every evening by business or social
engagements; some doze in specifics stu
pidity on a sssa until bed time. Some nus
bands are curious 10 learn Of their wives
what has transpired through the day; others
are attracted at nothing short Of a child's
falling down stairs or the house taking fire
depend upon it," says DIR. Spooner, that
home is the happiest where Kindness inter
est and politeness, and attention is shown
Of course all the responsibilities rest with
them, and temptation never finds footing
there"

IMPOSING Nero FUNERAL-Thef funeral

nifty, took place yesterday afternoon, ard was
one of the most imposing funerals we have
witnessed for some time. A large crowd OF
colored persons, both ON foot and in vehi-

procession was a long one, and in addition
10 the relatives, friends and acquaintance OF
the deceased, was composed of the different
societies and orders which have been estab-
hshed among the freedmen here, and 10
which the deceased belonged.
James Scull was n most worthy negro, and
was respected by both white and colored.
Ills merit was well appreciated by both
races, and he was universally believed 10 be
an honest man and Christian. For many
years previous TO his death, he served in the

THH ogrIors.-Since President Johnson has
seen At to remove many men from Office and
appoint others in their place, we do net see
what good can be accomplished by refusal on
the part of the Senate to confirm them, uni 90
the appointing power Can be changed or great
ly restricted. To compel the removal of the
present inoumbents and leave the President at
liberty to fll the vacancies thus caused, seems
70 us very unwiss and impolitic. The country
can not gain anything by forcing the Presi-
dent to select new set of Office holders, In
less the present incunbtnts lack honesty CT
capacity. fhe could be compelled to reap
point the worthy and efficient men that he has
removed, the Propriety of a refusal of the Sen
ate to confirm any Of the new appointments,
would be apparent. This Republican party
cannot gain anything by constrainlng the Pres
idsnt to appoint more acceptable men unless
these men should come from its ewn ranks
We cannot expect him to select Republicans
and therefore such oficeholders as are honest
and competent should be allowed to serve out
their term or to hold office until the Presiden =
tial chair shall be filled by more honest AID
pstriotie man. The Office holders, however,
might be given to understand that prescription
on their part would insure their rejection by
the Senate, and in this way many good pa
triot might be continued 10 the service of the
people and government.
na law could be enacted making all appoint
msnts for term Of years, we think grea'
good would be effected. The scramble for of
Zoe Of the change Of an administration is calcu.
lated to do much harm, and anything thai
would tend to lessen 1t would prove a blessing.
