which involves the most delicate processes
of the pyrotechnic art, and has been known
for nearly two centuries as Espur fire." It's
perfection depended upon the extent of tho
trituration of the simple materials, for if the
nltre were too minutely pounded the effect
ceased. The japanese have afforded the
clue to the mystery, as these matches show
that ii was necessary for the nitre to be mel

the new stimulus thus afforded to thought,
to investigation, and to that curiosity in ac-
tion which is one of the roads to knowledge,
may prove of far moro educational value
than the dull, meaningless, and frequently
abortive experiments which used to be

COURAGE, brother, do not stumble,
Though thy path be dark as night
There's star 10 guide the humble;
"Trust in God, and do the right
Let the road be rough and dreary,
And its end far out of sight,
Foot it bravely! strong OF weary,
"Trust in God, and do the right"
Perish policy and cunning!
Perish all that fears the light!
Whether losing, whether winning,
"Trust in God, and do the right"
Trust no party, sect, or faction;
Trust no leaders in the fight
But in every word and action,
Trust in God, and do the right"
Trust no lovely forms of passion;
Fiends may look like angels bright
Trust no custom, school, or fashion
''Trust in God, and do the right"
Simple rule, and safest guiding,
Inward peace, and inward might,
Star upon our path abiding,
"Trust in God, and do the right"
Some will hate thee, some will love thee,
Some will t1atter, some will slight;
Cease from man, and look above thee,
''Trust in God, and do the right"

Lines to the memory of WILLIAM JOHNSON Pc
GRAM who fell in one of the last and most obsti-

twenty-one years of age and yet had attained to
the rank of Brigadier General. General Lee, in

Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1866-11-22

"model christian soldier and gentleman
Leave me to my speechless sorrow,
Leave mo to my palid gloom,
Shut away the mocking sunlight,
Take its burden from the room.
What are words but empty rattle?
Words that murmur of reliet,
In the deadly single-handed
Struggle with the monster grief.
Can 1 reason down my anguish?
Can take my pain away?
Let the door be closed betwixt us,
Let me meet it as l may.
Dead poor lips repeat, repeat it;
Wrench from out that word of dread,
All the sharpest sting of memory
Wrapped within it. He is dead!
Dead my Willie in his beauty,
Ere the morning flush of joy,
Yet had caught the Christening shadow,
Manhood filings around the boy.
Dead my loving, gentle hearted,
Noblest "Bravest of the brave"
Fallen midst the rush of battle,
Buried in a nameless grave.
He whose look and tone grew tender,
All unmatched, unwept, unheeded,
He to perish thus alone.
Who can tell me of his lOngings-
If he named his mothers name?
If he softly murmured Sister,
When the CHASTITY struggle came?
If cOnsecrating calmness
Slept upon his clay cold brow?
None can tell mel these are secrets
God hath in his keeping now.
All loves sweetest ministratiOns,
All its needs for him are DER:
Never will he cross the threshold
OF the old familiar door.
Never will his ringing laughter,
Echo joyous through the hall;
Never will [ answer gayly
To his fond caressinS call.
Never press his smooth white forehead,
Never stroke his shining hair,
Never feel his arm about me.
Never greet his smile so rare.
Ever miss the matchless kindness,
Through every word he said,
Ever wait the blank of absence,
Ever mourn my darling dead.
Dead Oh, grief has drowned my vision,
Blotted all the gladness DER,
Made me half forget he hveth,
AS he never lived before.
That he was not all so lonely,
Tho no loved one closed his eye,
That the blessed Christ sustained him,
When he laid him down to die.
That his tender, ycarning spirit
Drinks its fill of sacred joy,
That the cloudless bliss Of heaven
Overflows the precious boy.
This can still the inward aching;
This can calm the moaning wild,
IT'S at most dreary absence
Only-I am reconciled.
