1.-THE REBEL DEAD"


cit well said tha, the habit of decorating the graves
the rebel dead occurred to the chvay until they
egan to it was good way, more, to excite
etrayed and deuded people against kind and generous
."-Raletgh Standard.
Oh! glorious rebel slain
What tho thy batted cause proved vain,-
Art thou to less dear?
Shall we grant thee one tribute less
Because thou cOudst not live and bless
The land we still revere?
"The chivalry will answer No :"
But hA who they secret foe,
While living, hates thee dead,
And lift his voice to cry down,
Because decorate the mound
Above each buried head
We take the "anges alphabet"
And mOurnfully write with it
'1hy moulderng dust we love-
We know this cannot add one beam
To tn immortal halo that doth CLEAN
Thy sacrifice above.
We know thou dost not feel the need
or this, our own heart-prOmpted deed
In thy cold and narrow bed
Still there's a sOace to be found
pleasure sad, in gathering round
With garlands for dead.
We wish not to the strife
That cost thee each a precious life,
AS poison tongue hath said;
But we would keep the memory,
Bright in our hearts etenally,
OF all the " rebel dead"
The laurel and the cypress bloom,
Together, DER the common tomb,
OF those who died iii vain :.
And many wreath with tears we leave
As we lay it on the hallowGd grave
OF kindred "rcbel slain.

Talk nnt to me of indoor sports
Whom hoery Winter reigns,
And wields his ice clad scepter
Dor natures wids domains,
when. Boreas' breath comes bleak and chill
To make the Landscape drear,
An autumn's beauties to its power
soccumb, and disappear.
Away With all your "freside Joys"
No charms have they for me,
"Flat, stale and proftless" they seem,
Whate'er their nature be.
For nipping frosts aud singing gales
not farthing care,
Since herAlds they OF pastimes prove
In which love 10 share.
For now we see the ponds and streams
Like glass ercrusted DER,
While shouts of merriment ring forth,
Re-echoing from shore to shore,
AS scores OF forms, in widest glee,
Glide smoothly to and fro,
And flashing steel by whirl and curve
Their varied movements show.
By ones and pairs the joyous crew,
With faces all agiow,
And spirits light az birds of air,
With deer-llke swiftuess 20.
Full oft thoy akin the frozen plains,
Till, marked by many "a score,
The glist'ning track beneath their feet
Is checkered Ger and Ger.
Yes, that's the, sport'that's to my mind
When stern old Winter reigns
And wields bis ice clad sceptre
