who sold coal, told his servant girl in
early fall to hang a wet dish cloth out
of the window, and the first morning
that she found it frozen to report to
him. One swapping October morning
the cloth was found frozen. The girl
entered the breakfast room and report

to enter into his family devotions. He
Immediately replied, raising his eyes

THE SWORD OF ROBERT LEE.
BIZ "Mo1NA."s

Forth from its scabbard, pure ani
bright
Flashed the sword of Lee! "a
Far in the front of the deadly fight,
High DER the brave, in the cause Of
right,
Its stainless sheen, like beacon light,
Led us to victory
Out of its scabbard, where full long
It slumbercd peacefully
Reused from its rest by the battle
song,
Shielding the feeble, shifting the strong,
Guarding the right, avenging the
wrong
Cleaned the sword of Lee!
Forth from its scabbard, high in air
Beneath Virginia's sky
And they who saw 1t cleaning there,
And knew who bore it, knelt to swear
That where that sword led they would
dare
To follow and to die.
Out of its scabbard Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led Drawer band,
Nor Drawer bled for brighter land,
Nor brighter land had cause as grand,
Nor cause a chief like Lee
Forth from its scabbard how he prayed
That sword might victor be!
And when our triumph was delayed,
And many heart grew sore afraid,
We still hoped on, while cleaned the
blade
Of noble Robert Lee!
Forth from it's scabbard. all in yaini
Forth flashed the sword of Lee!
IT'S shrouded now in its sheath again.
1t sleeps the sleep of our noble slain,
Defeated, yet without stain,
Proudly and peacefully!

TnE NEXT FEN1AN INvAsroN-Acr1vE
PTEpARATIoNs.-A New York dispatch of
the 10th has the following;
The Evening Express says the most ac-
tive preparations are now being made at
the Roberts headquarters for grand move
ment against Canada. During the last
fortnight some ofthe leading military of
ficers of the organization have held consul
tations in relation to the martial pro-
gramme to be adopted when the Fenian
forces move from their respective States
across the frontier. The result of their
deliberations is at present a profound secret,
but Generals ONeill and Spear, and Presi-
dent Roberts frankly ayow that the new
movemene means work against the British
authorities in Canada
1t is said the discipline Of the next army
Of invasion will be far superior and more
effective than that of which the detachment
at Limestone Ridge was the advance guard.
Twelve thousand men have already been
enrolled under the title of I" r enian Aven-
gers" who have pledged themselves to be
ready at any moment to prevent the execu-
ton OF Lynch and the prisoners. These
have been divided into regiments and brig
AIDES, and when oil the men deemed neces-
sary shall have taken this pledge, opera
TONS will commence.

An American correspondent writes,
from Paris
Hair is not worn this season, the
heads beng smoothly sand-papered,
vanished, and all the chronological
developments covered, numbered, Ia
beled, and illustrated with India ink.
This novel style causes much commo-
ton among those whose bumps are
lacking, and many are the devices
used to conceal the deficiency and
swell such bumps as virtue, humility,
love of home, economy, and others
which are usually missing from a
fashionable woman's head. Many
wear a neatly-fitting plaster, cast with
prominent traits strongly developed.
A stranger is introduced, he sees some
fine bumps, is pleased, and finally
marries hor. During the honey
moon, he playfully hits his wife over
the head with stool, when off comes
the plaster, and she stands forth I'M
masked. Many craniums are grained,
in imitation of American woods; at
any soi,ee may be seen maple, oak,
beech, and not few bass wood heads.

ANOTHER DISCLOSURE. The fact
has already been presented that Pete
Finnerty, 'Southern loyalist, land
one of tho party of Southern cut
throats and Northern iail-birds that
recently "swung around the circle, ')
was ''loyalist'' quite well known to
old residents and former sheriffs'
officers IN this city. 1t appears that
this specimen Southern loyalist"
is also not unknown to fame in the
city of st. Louis. When the ''South-
ern loyalists" arrived in the latter
city, some of Pete's old acquaint-
ances, seeing his name ON the hotel
register, thought proper to extend to
him an invitation to tarry among
them for some time. The invitation,
says u ST Louis paper:
''Set forth that The said Peter 4.
Finnerty did, some three or four
years ago, obtain from John NJ Fin
nerty $4,000 worth Of liquors and
cigars by fraudulent representations,
M. was defraudcd Of his goods and
properties to that amount This
invitation was placed in the hands
Of the indefatigablc constable, Peter
Berger, who searched the city high
and low-visited the Lindeu, and
went to the mass meeting at Lucas
market, but without success"
At another of these "Southcrn
loyalist' scalawags, whose name was
incribed on the hotel registers as
''Judgc Tucker, of Virginia, was
