A SONG IN DEFEAT.


When armies charge with crash and shout,
And loud the cannon rattle,
The minstrel's cheering song rings out
Above the booming battle.
But when the coward legions shrink
Before the ioeman shout ng
Tis minstrel voice in silence sinks,
Nor sings he of the routing.
Why strike the harp amid defeat!
And while the foes hosannas
Ascend the saddened stars to greet
Above their oating banners.
oh freemen, where are ye to-day
Who gave the stern denial,
Who donned the ,armor bright as day.
And dared the fiery trial.
Shall feuds and factions break the right,
And traitors lying tattle,
Bethlnk ye ye've greater fight
Than on the field of battle.
And did ye crush the rebel crew.
With shrinking or complaining,
No rouse ye there, ye brave aud true,
Your party strifes dsdaining.
For shall we, who have fought the fight
AMI in our country's altar
Have laid our all, to save the right,
in our great labor falter
In vain have all our bravest died
From every rank and station,
And shall the traitors who have tried
To ruin, rule the nation.
And shall the naughty sou hern pride
Uprise again to scorn us?
Oh! hear the tales of woe that ride
Upon the 6 lie to warn us.
Know that the $, nth is still un aught
To bear the great wrong righ:el,
Know that change must sui b, wrought,
To keep the land united.
Trust not the man who rules the land
70 work the transfer nation,
Who yields unto the bold demand
Of traitors to the natl n.
Who fans the fire of Southern hate
To earn traitors blessing,
Aud arelcss O.. his countiy's fate,
The bloody hand caresslng
ct not our pride or honor rust,
Let not the SouthrJn brave US,
In congress will We put our trust
And it shall guile and save US

AMERICAN COOKING STOW.

Alter twenty years experience In the manufac-
ture o stoves, we became convinced some six
wears since, that vast amount of money was
being expended by the people Of this country, in
buying cheap and almost worthless stoves, a large
portion Of which was wasted: and that true
economy consisted in buving the hest stoves that
could lIe made, Notwithstanding the price was
higher. With this view proceeded to con-
struct the American Cooking Stove, and spared
no pains or expense to make it the best and mosi
perfect stove that could he made. And we have
experimental with it, and carefully watched it's
operation Tor the last six years. and when an i'm
provement suggested ITSELF we have at once
adopted it. and we have several Of Il Csc improve
mcnts secured by letters patent. In this manner
We do not hesitate to saw we have brought it to
higher state Of perfection than has heretofore been
attained in cooking stoves. The recent improve
ments in this stove has added largely to its con-
vcnience and effectiveness, In all the varieties Of
stoves we m"nutacture, we study usefulness, du-
rahilitv. convenience and economy in operation
rather than cheapmess in price, aud in doing we
are satisfied we study the interest Of those pur-
chasing our stoves.
