THE, COTQ Y d Red ia N NBR
BY REV. ABRAM J. RYAN,
Furl that banner, for It's Weary;
Round its staff it's dropping dreary;
FuFl it, fold it, it is best:
For there's not a man to wave
And there's not sword to save it,
And there's not one left to lave it
In the blood Which heroes gave is;
And its foes now scorn and brave it;
Furt it-hide it--let it rest
Take that Banner down, It's tattered
Broken is its staff and shattered!
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Over whom it fioated high.
oh! It's hard for us to fold it!
Hard to think there's none to mold it,
Hard that those, who once unrolled 1T,
Now must furl it with sigh.
Furl that Banner-furl il sadly
Once ten thousands hailed it gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,
Swore it should forever wave
Swore that foeman's sword should never
Hearts like theirs entwined discover,
Till that flag should float forever
Der their freedom or their grave.
Furl it for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And that Banner-it is trailing
While around it sounds the wailing
OF its people in their woe.
For though conquered, they adore it!
Love the cold, dead hands that bore it!
Weep for those who fell before it!
Pardon those who trailed and tore it,
But, oh! wildly they deplore it,
Now, who furl and fold it so.
Furl that Banner! true It's CORY,
Yes, tits wreathed round with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Though it's folds are in the dust:
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages
Furl it's folds though now we must.
Furl that Banner softly, slowly,
Treat it gently-it is holy
For it droops above the dead.
Touch it not-unfold it never,
Let it droop there far7ed forever,
For its peoples hopes are dead

TO TIE TEATHERCOCK on OUR
STEEPLE..

The dawn has broke, the morn is up,
Another dag begun;
And there thy poised and gilded spear
Is flashing in the sun,
Upoa that steep and lofty tower
Where thou thy watch has kept,
A true and faithful sentinel,
While all around thee slept.
For years upon thee, there has pour'd
The Summers monday heat,
And through the long, dark, starless night
The Winter storms have beat;
But yet thy duty has been done,
BY day and night the same;
Still thou hast met and faced the storm,
Whichever way it came.
. No chilling blast in wrath has swept
Along the distant Heaven,
But thon hast watch'd it's onward course,
Aud distant warning given;
And when mid-summers sultry beams
Cypress all living things,
Thon dost foretell each breeze that comes
With health upon its wings.
How oft I've seen, at early dawn,
Or twilight's quiet hour,
The swallows, in their joyous glee,
Come darling round thy tower,
As if. with thee, to hail the sun
And catch his earliest light,
And offer ye the morn's salute,
Or bid ye both--good night.
And when, around thee or above,
No breath of air has stirr'd,
Thou scientist to watch the circling fight
0feaeh free, happy bird,
Till, after twittering around thy head
In many May track,
The whole delighted company
Have settled on thy back.
Then if, perchance, amidst their mirth,
A gentle breeze has sprung,
And prompt to mark its first approach,
Thy eager form hath swung.
I've thought almost heard thee say,
As far aloft they flew:
Now all away here ends our play,
For have work to do"
Men SANDER thee, my honest friend,
And call thee, in their pride,
An emblem ftheir fckleness,
Thou ever-faithful guide.
Each weak, unstable human mind
A "weathercock" they call;
And thus, nnthinl1ingly, mankind,
Abuse thee, one and ALL
They have no right to make thy name
A by-word for their deeds;
They change their friends, their principles,
Their fashions and their creeds;
Whilst thou'st ne'er, like them, been known
Thus causelessly to range;
But when thou changest sides, ean'st give
Good reasons for the change.
Thou, like some lofty soul, whose course
The thoughtless oft condemn,
Art touclI'd by many airs from Heaven
Which never breathe on them;
And moved by nany impulses
Which they do never know,
Who round their earth-bound circles plod
The dusty paths below.
Through one more dark and cherries night
Thou well has kept thy trust,
And now in glory DER thy head
The morning light has burst;
And unto earth's true watcher, thus,
When his dark hours have pass'd,
Will come 'the day spring from on high"
To cheer ,his path at last.
Bright symbol of fidelity.
Still may think of thee,
And may the lessons thou dost teach
Be never lost on me;
But still, in sunshine or in storm,
Whatever task is mine,
May be faithful to my trust,
As thou hast been TO thine,

Washington, D. c., May 5, 1868.
GENERAL ORDERS NO IT.
|. The 3Oth day of May, 1868, is des
ignated for the purpose of strewing with
flowers or otherwise decorating the graves
of Comrades who died in defence of their
country during the late rebellion, and
whose bodies now lie in almost every
city. village, and hamlet church-yard in
the land. In this observance no form of
ceremony is prescribed, but Posts and
Comrades will in their own way arrange
such lifting services and testimonials of
respect as circumstances may permit.
We are organized, Comrades. as our
Regulations tell us, for the purpose among
other things, ''ofpreserving and strength
ening those kind and fraternal feelings
which have bound together the soldiers.
sailors. and marines who united to sup-
press the late rebellion" What can aid
more to assure this result than by cherish
ing tenderly the memory of our heroic
dead, who made their breasts barricade
between our country and its foes. Their
soldier lives we're the reveille of freedom
to a race IN chains and their deaths the
tattoo of ,rebeilious tyranny in arms.
We should guard their graves with sacred
vlgllence. All that the consecrated
wealth and taste Of the nation can add to
their adornment and security, is but trib-
ute to the memory of her slain defenders.
Let no wanton foot tread rudely on such
hallowed grounds. Let pleasant paths
invite the coming and going of reverent
visitors and fond mourners Let no van
delism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of
time testify to the present or to the COM
ing generations, that we have forgotten
as people IF the cost of free and un-
divided Republic.
Ii other eyes grow dull, and other
hands slack, and other hearts cold in the
solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as
long as the light and warmth of life re-
main to US.
Let US, then, at the time appointed
gstnered around their sacred remains
arl garland the passionless mounds above
them with the choicest flowers of spring
time let us raise above them the dear
old flag they saved from dishonor let us
In this solemn presence renew our pledges
to aid and assist those whom they have
left among US a sacred charge upon ma
tons gratitude, the soldier and sailors
widow and orphan.
II. 1t is the purpose of the Comman-
der-ir Chief to inaugurate this observ-
ance with the hope that it will be kept
up from year to year, while survivor of
the war remains to honor the memory of
his departed Comrades. He earnestly
desires the public press to call attention
to this Order, and lend its friendly aid in
bringing it to the notice of Comrades in
all parts Of the country in time for sim
ultaneous compliance Herewith
Ill Department Commanders will
use every effort to make this Order eff
fective.

handkerchiefs. Doves, colored red white
and blue, were launched from the CALLER

pleasing feature to the animated scene.
A glee club came forward and sang song

1t is believed, in Paris, that Nela-
ton and the special physicians of the
Emperor advised him, Isome time
ago, that his health was such as to
justify the apprehension of his sud-
den death at the end of one of the
fainting fits to which Napoleon is
subject, and that it would, therefore,
be prudent for his Imperial Majesty
to regulate everything in regard to
his successor. It is furthermore be-
iieved that the Emperor has drawn
up q last will, annulling the decree
appointed, and comforting the Re-
gency upon Prince Napoleon alone.
The remarkable intimacy prevailing
for some time past between the Prince
and his Imperial cousin, it is thought,
results from this measure on the part
of the Emperor.
