THE OLD BOOK-KEEPER.

Itwas an ancient book-keeper,
And he tall and slim.
Though his face was mild. he rarely smiled
His clothes were dark and prinl;
And everything about his desk
He kept exceeding trim.
He always hung his hat and coat
Upoa fhe sclf-same hooks.
And laid his ruler. pen and ink
In their respective hooks,
And the only exercise he had
Was footing up his book.
Each day upon the sclfsamc hour,
He took his lofty seat
And bent his body and his mind.
His labors 10 complete;
And blOts We're neither on his fame
Nor on his ledger sheet.
The music OF his pen was heard
From morn till eventdc:
Up columns vast his eyes were cast,
Then down again with pride.
Quite pleased was he. though he saw his work
Increased and multiplied.
The cash that DER his fingers came
Each day was 20 aethng grand;
And set no scheIn IS to bear ii Off.
BY him were ever planned;
Although yOu saw with half an eve,
That he wrote o ''sloping' hand.
He had no wife, he had no friends.
His joys and cares were few;
And his dearest hopes from day to day
Was keeping his balance true;
A good world This. If every man
The latter thing would do.
He never sighed when little ills
His way of life would cross:
And DER the errors of his youth
lie showed no vain remorse:
But set down all that came along
To profit or to loss.
One day the creditor OF all
Dropped in for his amount
He found the old man at his post,
Though low ran natures fount:
The books were closed. and ne was borne
Up 10 his last account

letter Fr. Colonel ould.

The following letter has been published
from Colonel Robert 0uld, late Confederate
commissioner of exchange of prisoners Of
war, to Hon. Charles A. Eldridge, sustaining
the statement of the latter, lately made in
the House ofRepresentatives, controverted
| by General Butler, relative to the offer of the
Confederates to return sick and wounded
Federal soldiers without equivalent. Tie let
ter savG:
have seen your remarks as published.
They a:e substantially correct. Every word
that l said to youin Richmond is not only
true, but can be proved by Federal officers. L
did offer in August to deliver tho Federal
sick and wounded, without requiring equiv
alents, and urged the necessity of haste in
sending for them, as the mortality, was ter
rible I did offer to deliver from ten to ff-
teen thousand at Savannah without delay.
Although this offer was made in August,
transportation was not sent for them until
Decem ber, and during the iuteryalthe NOR
tality was perhaps at its greatest height. If
1 had not made the offer, why did the Fede-
raj authorities send transportation to Savan-
nah for ten or fifteen thousand men? i'll
made the offer, based only on equivalents,
why did the came transportation carry down
for delivery only 5000 men?
Butler says the offer was made in the fall,
(accordiDg to the newspaper repert,) aud
that 1000 were delivered. The offer was
made in August, and they were sent for in
December. 1 then delivered more than l3,-
900, and would have gone to $4,000 if the
Federal transportation had been sufficient.
My instructions to my agents weresto deliver
$4,000 sick and wounded, and if that number
of that class were not on hand, to make up
the number BY we'll men. The offer was
made by me in pursuance of instructions
from the Confederate Secretary of War. I
was ready to keep up the arrangement until
every sick and wounded man had been re-
turned. The 5000 men sent to Savannah
by the Federals were in as wretched condi-
ton as any detachment of prisoners ever sent
from Confederate prison. All these things
are susceptible of proof, and am much mis-.
taken if cannot prove them by Federal au-
thority. l am quite sure that General Null
ford will sustain every allegation here made.
General Buffers correspondence is all on cre
side, as was instructed at the date of lis
letters to hold no correspondence with him.

The Sword.

Twas the battle field and the cold, pale moon
Looked down on tho dead and dying;
And the wind passed Ger, with dirge and a wal,
Where the young and the brave we're lying.
With his fathers sword in his red right hand,
And the hostile dead around him,
Lay o youthful chief; but his bed was the ground,
And the graves icy sleep had bound him.
A reckless rover, mid death and doom,
Passed soldier, his piundor seeking;
Careless he stopped where friend and foe
Law alike in their life-biood reeking.
Drawn by the shine of the warriors sword,
The soldier paused beside it:
He wrenched the hand with giants strength,
But the grasp of the deld deied it.
lie loosed his hold, and his noble heart
Took part with the dead before him;
Ard lie houcred the brave who died sword in hand
As with softercd brow he leaned DER him.
ga soldiers death thou hast boldly died,
A soldiers grave won by it;
Before I would take that sword from thine hand
Ny own lifes blood should dye It.
"Thou shalt not be left for the carrion crow,
Or the wolf to fatten Ger then;
Or the coward insult the gallant dead,
Who in life had trembled before thee'
Then dug be grave in the crimson earth,
Where his warrior foe was sleeping;
And he laid him there, in honor and rest,
With his sword in his own brave keeping.
