The. memory of Stonewall Jackson has re-
ceiyed few tributes more touching in silnplici-
ty and pathos than the following beautiful poem
published in the New York Citizen, of which
Mr., Charles G. Halpine is the editor. Mr. Hal
pine himself is a;poet of rare taste was an Off
Ger incthe y nlted States army during the late
war, and: is well known to fame as Private
Miles O'Reilly.,h;aTh poem in question, he
says, is from the pen of distinguished officer
efithe Omitted States navy. Es
He sleeps alIquietly and cold
Beneath the soil that gave him birth,
Then break his battle-brand in twain,
. u And lay it with him in the earth
. No more at midnight shall he urge
~ His toilsome march among the pines:
Nor hear upon the morning alr
31z The war-shout of his charging lines
Cold is the eye whose meteor CLEAN
Flashed hope on all within its light;
. And still the voice that, trumpet toned,
:. Rang through the serried ranks Of fight. =
No more for him shall cannons park,
~. Or tents CLEAN white upon the plain;
And where his camp fires blazed Of yorc
Brown reapers laugh amid the grain
z No more above his narrrw bed -
Shall sound the tread of marching feet,
;, The rifle volley and the crash e @
Of sabres when the foemen meet:
And though the winds of autumn rave,
And winter snow falls thick and deep
Above his breast, they cannot move
Z: :: The. quiet Of his dreamless sleep Il 4,
We may not raise a marble shaft
Above the heart that now is dust
But nature, like q mother fond,
Evil ne er forget her sacred trust.
Young April, e er his lowly mound,
Shall shake the violets from her hair:
And glorious June, with felvid kiss,
:. Shall bid the roses blossom there.
And round about the droning bee,
With drowsy hum shall come and go ,.
Q While west winds all the livelong day
Shall 1nurmur dirges soft and low.
The warriors stormy fate is Ger, ,.@4 d,
The midnight gloom hath passed away
And like a glory from the East
Breaks the first light OF Freedom day
And white-winged peace, Ger all the land
Broods like e dove upon her nest:
While iron War with slaughter gorged
At length hath laid him down to rest
And where we won our onward way.
With fire and steel, through yonder wood,
The blackbird whistles, and the quail
Gives answer to her timid brood
Yet oft in dreams his fierce brigade
Shall see the form they followed far.
Still leading in the farthest van
A landmark in the clouds of war!
And oft when whjte-haired grandsires tell
Of bloody struggles past and gone,
= The children at their knees will hear
How Jackson led his columns on!

F" Then, Dinah," said Bernice. shaking the

A tear glistened in the nurses eye as she
kissed the babe and bade the lonely mother
adieu. She could not retain the faithful crea-
tnre longer, for her boarded money had wasted
rapidly, and there was no knowing when or
where she would find home. Some two
weeks later, taking her babe in her arms,
she turned her back upon the noisy city for
ever, only longing to get within the quiet,
peaceful influences Of country life.
The summer time was favorable, and for
days she travelled on, getting meal now and
then at the houses. by the way, paving fair
price for food and lodging, inquiring as she
got into the open country Of every one where
she tarried for food or rest, if they knew of
any one who would like to hire help. People
looked at her and her young babe, and shook
their wise heads. No one would wish wo-
man with so young child; and, too, by the
sad, paliid face of the gill mother, it was on
ly too evident that something was wrong.
Oh, bard of heart! Did she not carry re-

way that she bore his sin aud babe upon her
woman's breast? But the world never sees

When General Lee was in Washington,
short time ago. he set for his picture at Brady's
gallery. The fact became known of course,
md ever since Mr.. Brady has been overrun
with orders for copies of the picture. 1t
would seem that almost every family in
Washington, and many in Baltimore, wish to
have hanging in their parlors representation
of the form and features of the great Con-
federate chieftain, to judge from the rush
there has been fol copies Of the portrait. The
latter, Of course, is all that could be desired
in the way Of artistic excellence Straws
show the direction of the wind, and it is very
evident that if the time ever comes when the
American people will be allowed to manifest
the real feelings OF their hearts, they will
confer upon Gen. Lee such testimonial of
their affection as will put to the blush the
toadyism that is la,vished upon
General Grant.

es Little Jim -


The cottage was thatcbed one, the outside old
and mean,
Yet everything within that cot was wond'rous neat
and clean,.
The night was dark and stormy the wind was
bowling wild
A patient mother watched beside tho death. bed OF
her child
A little worn-out crsature--hs once bright eyes
grown dim;
1t was the collier,s wife and cbild-they called
min Little jim"
Andsh! to see the bripy tears fast burrying
down her cheek,
AS she offered up a prayer in thought-she was
afraid to speak,
Lest she might waken one chs loved far better
than her life,
For she had all u mothers heart, had that poor
collier's wife,.
With hands uplifted, see! she kneels beside tho
sufferers bed
And prays that He will spare her boy, and take
horsOlf instead
She gets her answer frcln the cbla-so:t fall those
words from him:
"Mothor, the angels. do so smile, and beckon
'Litao Jiw?
I have no pain, dear mother, now, but oh, am
SO dry;
Just noisten poor Jim's lips again, aud, mother,
don't yc cry"
With gentle, trembling haste, she held tea-cup
to his lips:
He smiled to thank her as he took three little Tiny
sips
" Tell father, when he comes from work, said
good night to him;
And, mother, now III go to sleep" Alas poor
"Little, Jim.
She saw that he was dying-that the child she
loved so dear
Had uttered tho last words she might ever hope
to hear.
The cottage door is opcned-tho golfers step i,

The father and the mother met but neither speal;

He felt that al was ovcr-he knew hi. child was
dead.
He took the candle in his hand and walked to-
wards the bed.
His quiverins lips give token of the grief he'd
fain eonceai-
And sec! his wife has joiucd him-the strictened
couple kneel,
With hearts bowed down With sadusss, they hum

her young heart to him with all its trust and
love.
Every one gpssses the sequel. After five
or six months of lover.like addresses, he ab.
ruptly left for his sightseeing; left her with
out one word Of parting to the wronged girl,
saying to her,
~ au off to-day, Sic good bye"
But where he was going was a'mystery.
She supposed merely for brief absence.
Weeks and months went by. .Bernice's
cheek began to grow thin and pale. She
dared not inquire for HIN, for she had no
thought how wholly unnoticed heiTintimacy
bad been; but she casually overheard Mrs.
Rockford telling caller of her last letter
from Alexis while in Genoa. A shivering
horror seized upon her. all was explained
his cilence and absence. he had wearied
of her; and she cursed herself for not know
ing before that he, rich mans son, would
want nothing but the ruin of his mothers
servant.
Oh, what sad fate was hers What an
awakening! He was in Italy. The aurhor
of her shame, which soon the whole world
would know, while she was left friend'ess
and pcnniless girl, (save through her better
and nobler plans Of educating herself some
time) to bear against the "get thee behind
me" of the whole cruel world.
Yet she toiled on with sublime forttude
which ought to awaken pity and admiration
in every breast Fever once barboring the
thought of numbering her unborn child to
save herself from conturnely ard scornfal
jeers. She had sinred, perhaps, but her child
was inHcccnt, and although neither north
nor south, east nor west offered friends or
support, there was ono other way 10 look in
this her dreadful sorrow. God was over oil
and in ell, and although the clear, full eyes
were sunken and din from lonely night Wig
lis, prayers, aud tears, and thu soft young
checks shrunk and faded, yet her purpose was
fixed. Her child, the stamp and seal of her
shame, should live for augnt that she would
do against its life. Heaven bless her true,
strong soul.
